INTERURBAN IS
A CERTAINTY
Only a Few Miles of Rights of
Way To Be Secured.
Mr. Divine Expects to Use Oid Road¬
bed Graded Many Years Ago Near
Dalton—Construction on Ciiicka
mauga Park Line to Begin Soon.
The Divine Interuiban railway
is a certainty.
Practically all that now re¬
mains to hinder the beginning of
operations is the securing of a
few rights of way down near Dal¬
ton, and these the Dalton board
of trade have promised to take
take care of, and when this is
accom pUshed, ilie enterprise will
begin in earnest.
At least thirty days will have
to elapse before a permanent or¬
ganization of the company can be
had, owing to a peculiarity of
the Georgia laws which requires
that a firm or corporation apply¬
ing for a charter in that state
must publish in a county paper
in each county in which they in¬
tend to do business, a notice of
such application. This lias al¬
ready been done, and by the time
the thirty days elapse Mr. Divine
expects to have everything in
readiness for the beginning ot
active construction operations.
According to the plans as now
matured, actual construction
work will be commenced not lat¬
er than the first of April, and
possibly some days earlier. The
first real construction will begin
on the Chi.ckamaugu Park line,
and when this is begun it will be
pushed as rapidly as possible un
til the line to the park is ready
for the cars. By using the old
Belt line Tracks, four miles of
which are available,, and by the
construction of four additional
miles, the line to the Park can
be put in active operation for the
handling of freight not later than
the first of May.
From the Dalton end of the
line there are 22 miles of the line
which the In turban expects to use
which is graded and ready for
the laying of ties and rails, This
is a part of the old Dalton &■ Ala
culsy Valley railroad, a conees
sion for the right of way over
which the Dalton people have un¬
dertaken to secure. This will be
of inestimable value to the early
completion of the line as it will
necessitate the laying of rails and
ties to at once have ready for use
twenty-one miles of the road.
P this ci n essio i L secured a id
when the Ohickatnauna Park line
: s completed there will only re
main the intervening gap to be
filled before the entire line
Mr. Divine, in conversation
News :
with a Chattanooga man
this morning expressed himself
as being very much gratified at
the way in which he was receiv¬
ing encouragement at the hands
of Chattanooga business men.
He said that the strongest men,
financially and socially, have
promised him their support in
this enterprise and that this eri
conragement thus given him left
no doubt whatever of its success.

DUCKTOWN CASE IS
AGAIN IN COURT
tearing Begins in Washington
* BtiOre Supreme Court.
The famous Ducktown sulphur,
copper and iron case caine up in
the supreme court of the United
States at Washingtoh Monday
morning.
Attorney General Hart and
Ligon Johnson, attorneys for the
state of Georgia, are m Wash¬
ington together with a number
of expert witnesses, who have
made a minute examination of
the effects of the fumes of sul¬
phur ou vegitation and water.
The defendant company also lias
a formidable array of expert wit¬
nesses, who will attempt to con¬
trovert the testimony of the Ga.
exn-rts,
T.ie plant of the Ducktown sul¬
phur, copper and iron Company
of Tennessee is on the border of
Tennessee and Georgia, and it is
charged by the plaintiffs that
the influence of sulphur deoxide
on vegetation, forests and water
courses lias done great damage to
about 1,000 square miles of for¬
merly fertile land in Georgia
owned by Georgians.
Some four years ago the state
of Georgia sought to secure an
injunction against the operation
of the plant on the Grounds of
the damage done,and being none.
A careful examination was made
and the contention of the plain¬
tiffs was proved conclusively.
Sines that time the case has been
dragging through the courts, un¬
it has finally reached the supreme
c >urt cf the United States. The
damage done is much more ap¬
parent today than it was four
years ago, and the inass of testi¬
mony is far more formidable.
It is probable the case will con¬
sume several days or a week in
argument,

Laws Affecting the Fanner.
The following are extracts
from an address delivered by
lion. Andrew J. Cobb, Associate
Justice Supreme Court of Geor¬
gia, setting fourth the laws of
this state.
It is unlawful to enter the en¬
closed or cultivated land of an¬
other after being personally for¬
bidden so to do by the owner or
person in possession. It is un¬
lawful to hunt or fish on the
lands of another after notice not
to do so. Posting a card in two
or more places on the land, for¬
bidding all persons to hunt or
fish on the land, and registering
such notice with the clerk of the
Superior Court is sufficient notice
under the law.
Manure, made on the farm, is
generally considered part of the
land, and will pass with the faim
when sold. The reason for this
is that good husbandry lepiires
that' manure produced upon a
farm should be consumed upon it.
Manure made upon rented land
remains the property of the land¬
lord even though it he produced
by the animals of the tenant from
crops owned by him, and this is
true in case of a tenant at will as
well as other tenants. The ten¬
ant has a right to use the manure
on the farm during his tenancy
but he lias no right to sell it or
take it away. This rule does
not apply in cases of agricultu¬
ral tenants of buildings only, or
any tenant not engaged in culti¬
vating land who are the owners
of the manure produced by their
animals. In such cases it is
treated as the personal property
to the tenant, and may be sold
by him during the. term or re-

The use of fire arms, dynamite
or other explosie or destructive

The possession of game, fish,

dates above mentioned, is taken
as prima facie evidence of a vio¬
