SAYS 1T IS OBSERVING IIS
AGREEMENTS.

rbe Coast Line Railroad Company
reb ing to the News and Observers
cha )sl, that the Coast Line agreed
not ito remove it's causes from the
state courts, Chief Counsel EiiIott
of the road says that it has not vio-
lated its agreements.
This right to bring suit in the
Federal courts on questions arising
under the Federal Constitution or
statutes is based upon the Federal
Constitution, and open to all citizens
or residents of North Carolina 1t
is entirely separate and distinct
from the right to remove a pending
case from the State to the Federal
court upon any ground, and has no
connection whatever with the right
of removal upon the ground of di
verse citizenship" This right, ap-
plying to every person in North Car-
olina, is the right that has been in
yoked in the pending case by the At
lantic Coast Line Railroad Company.
1t believes that the present assess
ment of it's property and franchise by
the State, if enforced, will amount to
denial to it of the equal protection
of the law. and a taking of it's prop
erty without due process of law, in
violation of it's rights under the Con-
stitution and laws of the United
States and have it's suit, asked the
court to determine if it is right in
this belief.
The old Wilmington and Weldon
Railroad Company. under its North
Carolina charter, had this right as
citizen of North Carolina, and the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Com
pany its successor, has this right
without any regard to its citizenship.
That this right exists is illustrated
by the fact that North Carolina cor
rorations have had similar bills in
the Federal court to the present
matter. 1 note from your sisue of
yesterday that such a bill has been
filed by the Atlantic and Yadkin Rail
road Company, a North Carolina cor
roration.
1t was never contemplated, either
by the Legislature or by the Cover
nor. the gentlemen that conferred
| with us that this right which inheres
resident Of North Carolina, should
| be abandoned by the Atlantic Coast
| Line Railroad Company when it re-
nounces it's rights to remove cases
| from the State to the Federal court
as citizen of Virginia.

PERSONAL LIABILITY FOR FIRE
DAMAGE

IN Exodus 23:6 we read: '.If fire
break out. and catch in thorns. so
that the stalks of corn, or standing
corn, or the field be consumed, there
with, he that kindlet hthe fire shall
surely make restitution"
This is the law of Moses.
A farmer setting a brush fire on
his own land. who permits it to es-
cape to his neighber's land. is liable
for any damage done to the neigh
Dor by such fire.
Railroad companies are liable for
damages causel by locomotive sparks
Tenants have recovered damages
from landlords. caused by fire orig
mating from chimney known to be
defective.
This is the law of today.
The Supreme Court of Michigan
has decide dthat "One through
whose negligence fire is caused in his
building, which spreads to his negih-
bor's building is liable for dam
ages.
A few more actions for damages
due to fires caused by gross negli-
senee or violation of local ordinances
or State laws would impress upon
all the, fact that s'each one is his
brothers keeper

further, each city should, by O,

and Mr. Foster has greatly enjoyed
being with them. He will leave soon
for his California home.
