Anniston was made to the cotton mills on or about March 1, 1905, less than a week before former Governor Conner became president of the railroad com mission. Several other industries had enjoyed the rate long before that but cotton mills had been charged 70 cents TOT several years although persistent eHort had been made by them for a reduction they did not succeed in ob- taln1ng 1t until the date above men toned. Sam P. Kennedy, Henderson, s campaign manager, who then lived in Anniston, rendered valuable service in gathering and compiling the informa- tion used by the cotton mills on which they based the justice of their claims Tor the reduced rate which would put the cotton mills on equal footing with other manufacturers in Anniston. My firm was employed as attorneys for the cotton mills in the fight for the 50- cent coal rate and we also represented the Anniston Manufacturing company in its suit against the Southern rail- way to recover overcharges on steam coal. The report of this case is found in l45th Alabama, page 351. Mr. Ken nedy was valuable witness for the plaintiff in this case and is referred to in the record at the top of page 357 Further evidence of the existence of the 50-cent steam coal rate to Annis- ton may be found in the case Southern Railway vs. Anniston Foundry and Ma chine company, 135th Alabama, page 315, November term, 1902, and on age BIS the supreme court uses these words: Tt also appears that the plain tiff knew the defendant was giving special rates of 50 cents per ton to cer- tain industrial enterprises at Annis- ton and was contracting with view to obtaining this same rate.

Tn the controversy between MT Hen derson, president of the railroad commis- sion, and Governor Conner, regarding the special coal rate to Sy1acauga, Senator Kilby. Calhoun county, Anniston. who is president of the Kilby Locomotive Ma chine works, Anniston. advised that in 1902, knowing that his competitors had a 50-cent coal rate to Anniston. sued the Southern railroad for the same rate, and through decision of the court carried to the supreme court, secured 5O-cent coal rate to his plant, and has had this rate ever since and to his knowledge, growing out of that c~urt decision, other manufacturing concerns and cotton mills in Anniston secured tke rate of 50 cents per ton from Birmingham district to An niston for manufacturing purposes. Gov ernor Conner had no part in this suit and knew nothing of it.

CHESTNUT SEEMS DOOMED

Baltimore, Md, Aug. 29.-The
chestnut blight which invaded
Maryland from the northeast sew
eral years ago has been increasing
" destructive this year, Unless
some effective method of staying
the onward march of this destroyer
is found, according to State For
ester F. W. Besley, the chestnut
is doomed not only in Maryland,
but all through the country. The
blight is a fungus growth which is
thought to have been brought to
this country from Japan, with the
introduction of the Japanese chest
nut. Practically all the chestnut
trees on Long Island have been
killed and the blight has spread
rapidly. In New York States, in
the New England States, through
New Jersey and Pennsylvania and
down into Maryland and States TO
the South it has ravaged the groves
of ehestnuts. 1t has also spread to
the West. 1t seems to wipe out
the trees wherever it goes and no
effective cure has been found.
