DoRSEYS LAW FIRM ENGAGED
I'M BIG 'ELLEN NJ" FIGHT

Atlanta, Ca, April 1.-THE Allan
ia law firm of Dorsey, Brewster, How
eli & Heyman, of which Hugh NJ Dor
sey, prospective candidate for govern
or, is the ranking member, appeared
today before the state supreme court
of Georgia as attorneys for the Louis
vile G ashville railroad in the latter's
attempt to override the act of the
Georgia legislature prohibiting the is
suance of charter to any railroad,
which is owned by the state and
leased to the Nashville, Chattanooga
G st. Louis railroad which railroad
in turn is controlled by the Louisville
& Nashville.
The Louisville & Nashville applied
to secretary of State Phil Cook for a
charter for the North Georgia Mineral
Railroad, line which the Louisville
& Nashville proposes to build from a
point near Gainesville into Atlanta,
thereby completing the last line of it's |
1nLOnQOo duQ dtJCluptOu POI d1lC1 VI ClC
Western & Atlantic Secretary of
State Cook, in compliance with the an
ti-parallel act which the Legislature
passed in 1915, declined to grant the
charter. The Louisville & Nashville
then brought mandamus proceedings
in Fulton superior court to compel
Secretary Cook to grant the charter.
Judge Pendleton declined to issue the
writ The Louisville &c Nashville then
appealed from argument before the su-
preme court, and the case came on for
argument before the supreme court to-
day.
On the outcome Of this legal fight, |
in which the state will be fought not
only by Dorsey, Brewster, Howell & |
Heyman, but also by the law firm of
King & Spalding of Atlanta, depends
in a very large measure the future
value of the Western & Atlantic rail-
road, which yields a rental almost suf
ficient to maintain the common schools
of the state and furnishes the basis
for the states credit.
In all probability the case will be
fought through to the United States
Supreme court, as the Louisville &
Nashville railroad is determined either
to parallel the Western & Atlantic
railroad or to bring about it's sale by
the state.
The state will be represented by At
torney-General Clifford M. Walker,
Judge John G. Hart and Judge Horace
NJ Holden.

She almost flung herself into his
arms, clinging to him with ch.ld's
panic, and for the moment that he held
her their shadows were sharp cut
against the light. Then he half
dragged, half carried her into the room
and closed the windows. There were
heavy curtains on either side, and he
dragged them across. Save for the
soft Jingle of his spurs and her own
quick breathing there was no sound.
