He has lately engaged to assist all that he could in the restoration of the state railroad rates which were set aside by Judge Jones after a battle of some four years That fight is being waged with the former governor behind the shippers of the state. and an interesting session of the railroad commissioners Is expected on that topic to be held In Montgomery be- ginning next Monday.
