m GEORGIA'S INJUNCTION SUITS. n‘
|
=TT
About the liveliest iitigation that
has occured in this State for many
years is now getting well under way
concerning the right of the L.. & N.
Railroad to extend its Knoxville line
that terminates at Cartersville and
its Knoxville line that terminates at
Marietta into Atlana.
The State, through the Attorney-
General and its assistants, first took
the initiative by filing an injunc
tion opefore Judge A. W. Fite en-
Joining any further move to build
this road, and also enjoining the
Secretary of State from granting the
charter, the State Treasurer from re
ceiving the fee, and the Marietta
Journal & Courier, the Cherokee Ad
vance, and the Cartersville News
from publishing the charter resolu
tions. This hearing is set for Jan
uary Jlst, 1916, before Judge Fite
at Cartersville, Ga.
Next, the L. & N. Railroad files
its mandamus proceedings against
the Secretary of State before Judge
Pendleton of Atlanta to compel the
Secretary of State to grant a char
ter to the North Georgia Mineral
Railroad, which is purported to be a
move on the part of the L. & N. Rail
road for an extension of its line into
Atlanta. This hearing is set for
January 15th.
In this proceeding it is insisted
that the law was fully complied with
and that it was the duty of the See
retary of State to issue the charter:
attack is also made upon the paral
elling act recently passed by the
General Assembly; it is attacked on
the ground that it is in violation of
the constitution of Georgia and the
constitution of the Unied States,
Following the filing of these pro
ceedings, Hon. J. J. Spalding, one of
the attorneys of the L. & N. Rail
road, has been giving out some rath
er interesting history concerning
these matters and the policy of the
State and its law-makers in the past
authorizing and encouraging other
roads to parallel the W & A. Rail
road. l
The fight is well under way and
will be watched with deep interest.
The people in this county and all
of North Georgia ave vitally interest
ed in the outcome. If the recent act
of the General Assembly should stand
as the law, then this section of the
State is bottled up soo far as develop
ment is concernced, for no railroad
can be built which will parallel in
any sense the W, & A. Railroad.
The constitution of this State says,
“We are opposed to monopoly: we en
courage competition.” How can the
recent act of the General Assembly
be reconciled with this constitutional
provision? l
THE NEWSPAPERS.
Under the law, the Marietta Jour-'
nal & Courier, the Cherokee Advance,
and the Cartersville News are the|
designated official organs of tlwirl
respective counties; it is their duty |
to carry and publish legal :ul\'ul‘tiso—}
ments: When the legal advertise- |
ment of the L.. & N. Railroad for t!w!
extension of its road was presented |
to these papers, it was their duty to
publish the same. They had carried |
this advertisement for three \kas!
and up to the day that they were '.o{
publich it the fourth and last issuc .
when they were enjoined from fur
ther publication of the same. |
These papers have no interest in
the railroad or the subject-matter
other than to receive their pay for
these legal advertisements. No sub
stantial relief was prayed in the
proceedings against them, and yot
they are made parties defendant in
this litigation by the Attorney-Gen
eral, are compell{'d to answer these
suits, and be dragged into court.
These proceedeings strike us as in
vading the rights of these papers:
when the railroad is enjoined, the
Secretary of State and the Treasur
er are enjoined, this is the heart
of the subject-matter—why drag
these papers into court? Why in
wvade the freedom of the press in this
way Ly
Every newspaper im Georgia is in
terested in the outcomme of this liti
gation to the extent that they are
entitled to know whether or not un
der these circumstances they can he
forced into eccurt to litigate matters
of this character.
WESLEY BARACA NOTES.
L.ast Sunday a report was made to
the Class on the distribution of the
Christmas funds collected for "that
purpose, Fifteen families were
looked after in a substantial way,
and provided with provisions and
other things that they actually need
ed. Some toys and confectionaries
were also distributed in homes where
there were children to receive them,
If a Baraca member, or anyone else
knows of a needy family, he will do
the Class a favor by reporting the
case to either the president Len Bald
win, or to George Griffin at Ander
son’s store. 1
The New Year's work has been
outlined, and the hearty co-opera
tion of the entire seventy five mem
bers is necessary for a big success.
The class remembered its teacher,
Mrs. Tom Hamby, with a handsome
Brumby rocking chair for a Christ
mas present.
ST. JAMES CHURCH NEWS.
The Woman's Auxiliary met at
the Rectory Monday with an atten
dance of thirty. There was an in
teresting program. One new member
was welcomed.
St. Mary's branch met with Miss
Jeannette Black. Mrs. Ryburn Clay
is the president of that branch.
Services on Thursday, The Feast
of the EEpiphany is at 10 o'clock, On
Friday the prayer service is at ¢
o'clock.
The services on Sunday will be at
11 %, m. and in the evening at 7:30
At Union Chapel in the afternoon at
3 o'clock.
It will be interesting to some to
know that within the covers of the
Prayer book are bound other ser
vices, rites and ceremonies, and docu
ment§ of the church. The Book o
Common Prayer (often erroneously
called the KEpiscopal Prayer Book)
ends on page 220. The title page
makes that plain. The articles of
religion will be found on page LHHS.
Perhaps their relative importance is
reflected in the position given them
there. Mistaken often by others as
the creed of the church, they are per
haps read by only about one in a
thousand of the members of the
church. These articles are the
crystalized results of controversy. Th
faith of the church is expressed in
the Apostles Creed.
All religious bodies are represent
ed in a Conference on Home Missions
being held this week in New York.
It will convene in the Cathedral 51
the Incarnation.
The Murray Studio has made
photographs of the Church with its
Christmas decorations. They are
being handled by the Chancel Chap
ter on post cards, and also in a
larger size,
The boys of Miss Hunt's and M..
Cole's classes were entertained at the
Rectory Monday with a candy pull
and games.
Gold pins have been awarded Har
mon Mcßea and Charles Schilling as
reminders of a years faithful atten
dance on time, and a gold wreath to
Sue Nichols for two years.
The Banner was earned by M:.
Cole's class.
BAPTIST CHRISTMAS TREES.
On Wednesday evening of last
week there were two Christmas trees
in the Sunday School room of the
First Baptist church. Mr. Gus Ben
son was Santa Claus and told a very
amusing story about how his rein
deer mistook a Ford car for the noise
which calls them to their meals.
Virgilee Conroy recited “Two Lit
tle Stockings” and Edward Stephens
*lf ¥ou Dont Believe In Sants
Claus Don’'t Hang Your Stockings
Up.”
Mr. Lyon and Mr. Stovall received
nice umbrellas and all the teachers
and children received suitable gifts
and a delightful evening was spent.
