With Questions Involved
in Other Rate Cases

Montgomery. August Special )--Tak-
ing of testimony in the passenger rate
case of the Nashville, Chattanooga and
st. Louis Railroad company, on a citation
of the Alabama railroad commission, to
show cause why the commission should
not fix reasonable passenger rates on the

in the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
company, the South and North Alabama
the Central of Georgia and the Western
Railway of Alabama rate cases.
The taking of testimony in the Nash4

which to file a written brief
This is the last passenger rate case
which the commission win hear the latest
case which was heard being that of the

destinations are in southern states will
be landed at southern ports rather than
being transported from New York

The Reunion of the Blue and Ora,

1Ic AcuIiiOn VI TIE Due ana tIfdy
By Joe Lumpkin Pulliam
We're going back to Gettysburg
To once more clasp the hand
OF every one who bravely fought
For their dear old country land
When we stood on this battlefield
Some fifty years ago,
Our feet were stained with human blood
Our hearts were filled with woe.
Our countrys pride was then at stake;
Our freedom to be gained,
We must be loyal to our rights,
Our honor be maintained
The "Rebsp marched on, the Blue
Coats, too;
They considered not the loss
For they must needs protect their
rights.
No matter what it cost.
For three long days the conflict ragged
on meadow and hillslopes
The advantage first leaning toward the
south
And next the north" gained hopes.
Vivid are memories
As l recall them now;
Though so years have passed and gone
<aiiO as 2 10 StcHiBCu upon INV DIOW.
On this hallowed spot l lay
All night. till my men by chance
Bore me off just before
The enemy advanced
My comrade, who helped bear me out
Pleas Parker was his name,
Has passed beyond this world OF cares,
But sacred is the name.
1 was wounded in the foot,
Helpless and In pain;
Not one word of cheer for ME
Surrounded only by the slain
oh! That he. too, could be with us
On this memorial day.
And help us seal the bond of peace
Between the Blue and Gray.
The north and south met once more
On the famous battlefield
To celebrate a permanent peace
Which they themselves must seal.
In meeting here we symbolic
To generations yet to be,
That we would now fight to bind
The tie we struggled long to free.
After the battle of Gettysburg
The tide began to wane;
The confederacy Tough with vigor
But never rolled so high again
Our differences have all been merged
Not one we hold today;
common interest now exists
Between the Blue and Gray.
How different is our gathering now
To so years ago,
The hands we now clasp in peace
Were then a bitter woe.
We're glad the south was forced to
yield
It's bayonets at length,
The world respects our right today
For union gives us strength.
Buena Vista, Miss.
