IN FAVOR OF THE CENTRAL
SUPREME COURT DECIDES EVTON
TOX BRAXCH CASE.
/Sustains Jtulfio Hurt \\ lio Refold
the Injunction Ak rt d for hy flu*
Stnt*—Held That tlie Compel Hive I
ClnuNe of the Constitution Was
Not V iolated in the Purchase of tin*
Entonton Ilranch and Middle Geor
j; in and Atlantic.
Atlanta, Jan. 31.—The Supreme Court to
day handed down its decision in the Eaton
ton Branch and Central Railroad case, af
firming the decision of Judge Hurt, which
was in favor of the Central Railroad, and
to the effect that the purchase by it of
the Eatonton Branch and the Middle
Georgia and Atlantic was not violative of
the clause in the constitution relative to
lessening or tending to lessen competition.
The Supreme Court says that the compe
tition there alluded to refers to general
business in anti through territory travers
ed by them and not that which might in
cidentally exist at mere points or partic
ularly* places. A combination of rail
roads, it says, whatever the form adopted
for bringing it about, is not violative of
this paragraph of the constitution, even
though it might lessen competition at
home points, if as a gcrferal result of the
combination |he public at large as distin
guished from the people of special or par
ticular communities are benefited.
The decision further recites that there
was ample evidence in tne record to up
hold an adjudication that the consolida
tion of the two lines of railroads involved
did not defeat and was not intended to
defeat competition in the sense in which
that word is used in the constitution, and
also that such consolidation neither en
couraged nor tended to encourage mo
nopoly.
The decision was rendered by Justice
Lewis, all concurring.
Tho Supreme Court reversed the lower
court in the case of Petty vs. the Florida
Central and Peninsular Railroad from the
City Court of Brunswick, sustaining the
rebringing of a suit in the state courtn
where dismissed in the federal court, al
though in the second suit damages were
laid in an amount which would prevent
another removal to the federal court.
SUPREME COt RT PROCEDURE.
Orders ns to tlie Hearing of Cases
Now Before the Coart.
Atlanta, Jan. 31.—The Supreme Court to
day issued an order providing for the
bearing of argument in all cases remaining
of the October term. 1899, and all cases of
the March term. 1900, before the separate
divisions of the court ns now organized.
This is done because about one-half of
the cases returned and to be returned to
the October term yet remain to be heard,
while only one month of the term is left
for this purpose. This order is not to be
construed to displace or change the order
of hearing criminal cases now provided,
except that the argument of the same shall
likewise be heard by divisions.
The court also ordered that in nil the
civil cases on the docket for the October
term. 1899, which are not orally argued
before Feb. 2f>. counsel must file their
briefs by that day and counsel for plain
tiffs in error are required to pay costs
upon til ng their briefs. Oral arguments
in these cases will thereafter ls i heard
as may be directed.
On Saturday, March 3, the cases then
remaining on the docket will be call and,
and as each case is sounded motions to
continue, to dismiss, to withdraw, to
make parties, to perfect records and all
other motions of a preliminary nature
will Ik* noted, and no such motion will be
afterward received, the grounds of which
existed and might by reasonable diligen *o
have l>een known at the time of said call.
Oases in which no briefs are filed for
plaintiffs in error pursuant to this order,
will be dismissed, for want of prosecution
unless a sufficient reason to the contrary
be shown.
The criminal docket for the October
term. 1899. closes on Feb. 9, and criminal
cases thereafter received during this term
will )>e entered on the docket for the
March term, 1900. The qall of the civil
docket for argument, beginning on Thurs
day, Feb. 1. will proceed until the Eastern
Circuit is finished, which will be reached
the latter part of next w*eek.

( ANULKH OX THE lIOKH WAR.
Governor Taken Decided Pro-Boer
View of the Situation.
Atlanta, Jan. 31.—Gov. Candler regards
the principles for which the Boers are
lighting as those underlining the progress
of human liberty in all ages, although he
believes that the outcome will be the same
as that in Poland and Hungary.
The Governor is not chary about ex
pressing his views on the British-Boer
war, and talks interestingly about it
whenever the subject is broached. Brute
force and the machinations of evil might
prevail in the end. He thinks the Boers
will illumine history by their magnifi
cent sacrifice for all that goes to make
patriotism extolled in song and story, but
they will be subjugated and their future
will fall upon hard lines. He says it is
ihe old story of British bullying, greed
and land piracy, dating way back to the
Saxon conquests. The Viking taint is in
their blood, he continued. After they had
stolen the Isle of Britain they reached out
and stole Ireland. Then they set about to
steal the earth and the fullness thereof.
They stole practically the whole of the
North American continent. They stole Aus
tralia and New Zealand, and they stole
India. Of late years they have devoted
their penchant for grand larceny to the
appropriation of Africa. The British de
mand for a modification of the franchise
provision in the Boer citizenship laws, he
says, following the Jameson ra.d and oth
er overt acts of British aggression, put
the Boers in a position where they had to
defend their civil liberties and their very
hearthstones, the British mining inter
ests, of course, being the "nigger in the
wood pile.”
The immediate principle involved which
enlists his sympathies is the right of local
self-government by an established repub
lic without impertinent foreign interve -
cion in its internal affairs. He does not
think the British high-sounding talk abt.ui
the barriers to the onward march of civi i
zation and all that should make the lovers
of liberty and fair play lose sight of he
main proposition, for it cannot l>e truth
fully charged that the burgher s are t it her
incapable of self-government or an itnp dl
ment to the reasonable demands of civili
zation. They are Christians of the Puri
tanical school, lie says, and somewhat an
tiquated in their ideas of Christian con
duct, from the end of the century point of
view; but from what 1 have been able to
learn they are a moral, honest, industri
ous, well disposed people. And fight—they
fight like old Oliver Cromwejl’s Round
Heads.

benefit of widow's, orphans and others who
ire really not proper subjects for the poor
farm, “for to send them there,” he says,
“would be to foster pauperism.” He ways
he has been offered all the necessary land
for n s e for such an industrial home
within the sight of the city, and if the
county docs not take some steps in this
direction, which he thinks is proper, he
thinks he will accept some of the various
