RAILROAD CAN'T
TAKE AN APPEAL
TWO-CENT RATE WILL GO INTO
EFFECT IN VIRGINIA PENDING
FURTHER LITIGATION.

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 26.-The rail
roads were today refused the right OF
appeal to the State Supreme Court of
Appeals in the 2-cent rate matter.
The roads now have two courses open
to them. They can either go into the
United States Circuit Court of APP
,peals and have the case heard at
length or they can go to the Corpora
tion Commission and make application
for revision of the rates on the
ground that the roads are losing mon
ey.
Pending final adjudication the 2
cent passenger rate will obtain in the
State of Virginia, in accordance with
the contract made between the Gov
ernor and the State officials and the
railroads some time ago. The decision
of the court today was on the ground
that the roads had not complied with
the laws of the State by making the
application within the prescribed one
year provided by the constitution.

NASHVILLE Tenn, Jan. 25.-The
selection of the jury in the Cooper
Sharp trial was resumed today The
competency of Juror Leigh was dis
cussed. II was brought out during
the controversy between the attorneys
that the State would not only attack
Juror Leigh on the charge of alleged
drunkenness. but that he would be
further attacked for the alleged ex-
preston of violent and bitter opin-
ion as to the guilt or innocence of the
defendant at the bar.
Being pressed as to whether or not
the defense would resist the attack of
the state on the juror Judge anderson
said they would. In view of the large
number of men in court summoned for
jury service Judge Hart thought the
work of picking the jury should pro-
coed. After an examination lasting
more than thirty minutes, the seventh

Age II Years

Recess was over at noontime, and
history was at hand. We all know how
hard 1T is to study after we have had
a jolly time playing outdoors, while
going in to study seems as il we are
going TO be imprisoned, instead Of
learning our lessons.
We really do find good things to
laugh at, especially when reciting our
lessons.
Ny story comes from very mis-
chievous boy named Tim Gates, who sat
teasing another boy, talking and NUT
tering some foolish things under his
breath. which made the other boys
laugh and join in the game
Our teacher seeing this called Tim to
answer a question. She said What did
General Gates do after he captured
Charleston" Tim sprang up in a sec
ond. for he thought he heard his name
Gates in the question, and when he
stood he answered in a sneering tone !:
Il didn't capture Charleston; Brown
captured her"
one of our teachers, whose last name
was Charlston, and this is why he made
this answer
Young Master Gates was taken to
the library and you know what hap
pened to him there, and 1 must add
that the library door was opened and
we could see him in his Ounce cap in
a mirror. which hung on the other side
of the ROOM and L can almost hear
the giggling which went along with
our lesson now and then as we took a
glance at his poor innocent looking
face.
