GEORGIA'S INJUNCTION SUITS.


About the liyeliest litigation that
has occurred in this State for many
years is now getting well under way
concerning the right of the l.. & n.
Railroad to extend its Knoxville line
that terminates at Gainesville and
its Knoxville line that terminates at
Marietta into Atlana.
The State, through the Attorney
General and its assistants, first took
the initiative by filing an injunc-
ton before Judge A. w. Fife en-
Joining any further move to build
this road, and also enjoining the
Secretary of State from granting the
charter, the State Treasurer from re-
ceiving the fee, and the Marietta
Journal & Courier, the Cherokee Ad-
vance, and the Gainesville News
from publishing the charter resolu-
tions. This hearing is set for jan
uary 3lst, 1916. before Judge Fite
at Gainesville, Ga
Next, the l.. & N. Railroad files
ats mandamus proceedings against
the Secretary of State before Judge
Pendleton of Atlanta to compel the
Secretary of State to grant a char
ter to the North Georgia Mineral
Railroad, which is purported to be a
move on the part of the L. & N Rail
road for an extension of it's line into
Atlanta. This hearing is set for
January 18th.
In this proceeding it is insisted
that the law was fully complied with
and that it was the duty of the Sec
rotary of State to issue the charter;
attack is also made upon the paral-
elling act recently passed by the
General Assembly; it is attacked on
the ground that it is in violation of
the constitution of Georgia and the
constitution of the Unied States.
Following the filing of these pro
ceedings, Hon J j. Spaldng. one OF
the attorneys of the l.. & n. Rail
road, has been giving out some rath
er interesting history concerning
these matters and the policy of the
State and its lawmakers in the past
authorizing and encouraging other
roads to parallel the w G. A. Rail
road
The fight is wen under way and
Will be watched with deep interest.
The people in this county and all
of North Georgia are vitality interest
ed in the outcome If the recent act
of the General Assembly should stand
as the law, then this section of the
State is bottled up so far as develop
ment is concerned, for no railroad
can be built which will parallel in
any sense the W. & A. Railroad.
The constitution of this State saws,
We are opposed to monopoly; we en-
courage competition" How can the
recent act of the General Assembly
be reconciled with this constitutional
provision?

MCHUGH looked up.

MCHUGH looked up.
A "What's more important, I'm looking
for somebody l can trust who has the
nerve to hide himself in that theater after
rehearsal tomorrow night"
McHugh's intention was plain enough.
Quaile shrank from it.
That's the only sensible course" Nc
Hugh went on. Somebody has to do it.
l would myself, although I'd hate to.
But that wouldn't be wise. for various
reasons. It's simple enough to hide there.
1t would give the supernatural every
chance; but, on the other hand, if there
are human devils at work, they'd probably
expose themselves when tho house was
supposedly empty. Get me?'
He took heavy key of an antique pat
tern from his pocket.
"That's the stage-door key. It's vol
unteer job. | wouldn't ask anybody to
do it,"
Lets be honest, Quaile said you're
asking me- I'm ashamed to hesitate"
"No more said. McHugh snapped, and.
before Quaile could interrupt, had raised
situation which, on the face of it, ap-
peared cruel, unnecessary, grotesque.
"There's one thing you can do" the
manager hurried on. "Keep your eye on
Barbara Morgan. Get friendly with her.
The girls worth watching"
Quaile sprang up.
"You're crazy, McHugh. You're off
the track What have you against herr"
The managers eyes seemed drowsy.

tried to thrust it aside. He walked up
town, curious as to his approaching rem
devious with McIIugh
When, after dinner, Quaile reached the
building he saw that only single light
burned in the upper story. There was no
one at the door or in the elevator. He
had to feel his way up the long, unlighted
staircase. This was an unprecedented
freak of McHugh's, to brood alone in his
sanctuary. His interest quickened when
he paused on the sill and took in the pic
ture framed by the doorway.
The manager lounged in an easy chair
His feet had found comfort among the
litter on the desk-top. He beckoned
Quaile in.
al wanted to talk things over with you,
he said, with an air of reflection. al want
to get started on this case. want to
know if there's anything in it man can
handle. | need help for that. Now,
you've got intelligence. You're bright
boy"
"Thanks," Quaile answered captiously.
Sounds as if you were going to ask me
something disagreeable Tell me first:
Do you know anything? Have you found
a material basis?"
McHugh thought minute.
Lets see what we have, he said. "Our
lights have gone out, and we don't know
how. We've heard footsteps like Wood
ford's and his cats. Dolly swears there
is a cat in the place, but nobody's seen it.
Then-the big fact-Carton talks about
warnings, and dies the first time he tries
the part, just as Woodford diod, and he
told you if anything happened to him it
wouldn't be an accident. Then along
comes Wilkins, who never had nerve
before, and SHES at rehearsing that same
scene. And Dolly talks about perfume
like Woodford always used. That is
strong case for the supernatural; but I
don't want to be driven out and l do
want to do right by Cartons memory
"I've been thinking, up here all alone
I'm getting along in years, Quaile. I'd
hate to believe there wasn't something
beyond, so that makes me go slow on the
proud and naughty stuff. You remember
that line Hamlet has about more things
in heaven and earth But hate to think
those things mean murder and discomfort.
So, for the present, we pay no attention
to the supernatural side, strong as it is.
We look at the facts as facts, and they
plays Woodford's part. l want you to
keep an eye on Wilkins. Hang around
with him as much as you can, and try to
keep him cheerful | believe that will
help"
Quaie nodded.
