lantic Coast Line train at $3.50 o'clock
tomorrow morning. for Richmond, to
make oral argument in the United
States District Court room, on Peters
burg's brief, before the Federal Land
Bank Board. Those who have seen
the written brief, which will not be
presented at this time, are unani-
mously Of the opinion that it is one
of the strongest arguments that could
possibly be put before the board.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
influence of Richmond will be used
to further the claims of Raleigh, N.
c., over Petersburg, there are many
who are of the opinion that Peters
burg's claims will be given thorough
consideration and that the subsequent
result will be the location Of the bank
