NORTHERN MUST FIGHT Pidcock”Citizens Employ Attorney to Make Road Reestablish Station Boston is happy In the possession, of her new railroad, the Georgia Northern and Pldcock, mourning the loss, refuses to be comforted. The Citizens of tbe latter place propose to make things Interesting for the rosd by means of litigation. Attor ney J. H. Merrill represents a num ber of Pldcock citizens' In an Inter esting and important suit that will be heard before tbe railroad commls- clon on the 26th of this month. The case comes as n sequel to tbe midnight removal of the Georgia Northern tracks from Pldcock a few weeks agoj When It was proposed to move the terminus of the modi from Pldcock to Boston the ratter’ town objected lustily and prepared! to take out an Injunction. Tim foxy railroaders heard of this and de feated the move by starting to work at 10 o'clock one Saturday night and finishing the tearing up of tho track by midnight Sunday, during which time no legal paper could be served. / Now Mr. Merrill has brought suit to make them restore the track and reopen the station at Pldcock under thp rule that the abandonment ol any station must,..be preceded 'by- permission of the railroad commis sion. This permission was not ob tained. In case the station is put', back temporarily and the noeptsary permission for abandonment la ob tained It Is probable that suit will- be brought through the attorney gen eral of the' state for the revocation- of the road's charter. Inasmuch as/ the charter specifies Pldcock or Quit-' man as terminal points and that new- there Is a terminus at neither point.. Messrs. W. E.
