HARD FOUGHT. -/
Mr. Williams, however, had no easy
road. Only IndomitaDle will and energy
won the day for him. Frcm the outset
he was an.tei.gon.ized on many sldes.
W'hen he secured oontrol of -the Seahoard
and Roanoke properties he also received
a herkaee of war being waged between
Mr. Thomas F. Ryan and his associates on
ithe Hoffman element for control of the
road. This ba'ttle was fought in *he vari?
ous State and Federal courts, as were the
attempts made to prevenit Lhe consoada
tion of the various lines. There was hard
ly a State Couched by any part of the Sea?
board sysitem in WMoh proceedings were
