It appears that the respective merits of Bacon
i and Gordon had been fully discussed by the gen
tlemen who had assembled at the Georgia Home
corner, and just as the Knquirer-8un man came
along the discussion of ‘‘plug” and “fine cut,”
as sampled gratis by the advertising tobacco
agent, was getting at fever heat.
"Hold up a minute,” was the exclamation of
j one of the loquacity club, as the newspaper man
showed no disposition to stop. “We follows want

cause of the constant growling and grumbling
that is daily heard on every hand and among all
classes of the people. The weather, no matter
how propitious, will inevitably produce a murmur
from some quarter. Whether it is ‘‘good, bad or

always be safely counted on.

Company, of Macon. Ua.” Mr. Crawford pro
poses to insure property and take all risks offered
against loss by lire, as other first-class companies.
The Macon Fire Insurance Company has reason
to congratulate itself in securing such an agent
at this place, as Mr. Crawford's reputation f<*i

Mr. J. R. Maxwell and his two sons ,m one ,
side, ami Mr. Jip Moore on the other, had a fight .
on upper Broad street near Mr. I. 1.. Pollard's
store yesterday afternoon, which created con
siderable excitement. Mr. Moore received a
blow on the head which required the attention
of a physician, though In.* was not seriously hurt.
Warrants were sworn out against the Maxwells
charging them with assault with intent to mur
der. There is some difference in the statement-
ns to the origin of the dilliculty, consequently we
will not go into details, as the case is to be in
vestigated by the courts.

What, above all created things, deserves skin

not a penny of tax on these brutes. Who is the
true friend of man? Where do you find unadul

to man? Dogs. Did you ever hear of a cat taking a
tramp by the thinnest part of his breeches and
escorting him over tlu* hack fence? Do cats

There is an old comedy, or farce, unknown even
by name to this generation, in which the catch
word or "tag” of the leading character is “Be
quiet, you blockhead, I know itl” The comedy
of the thing is to make some impossible or im
probable statement. The response above given
exposes the knowing one in a very amusing posi-
ti» n, convicting him of a pretence ridiculous as
impossible.
They who always ‘‘knew it” are first cousins to
those who ‘‘told you so.” They are rather harm
less, but sometimes vexatious varieties of the
social nuisance. Nothing can surprise them;
nothing can bring them down from the placid
serenity in which they rest on their mountainous
self-conceit. On the eve of any pending question
they are always preparing themselves for their
post-prophetic utterances-prophecies spoken
after the event. They understand what betting
men call the art of‘‘hedging.” and whatever may
happen are ready with ‘‘I knew it” or "I told you
so.” They know just when the ‘‘dark horse"
will come in and where, since any horse.which
succeeds is for them the dark hi^se.
By the way, the mass meeting yesterday de
veloped a large number of those who “knew it,"
but the trouble is they didn’t tell anybody, and
thus caused considerable unnecessary maneuver
ing.

Seeing a lot of bran spanking new wagons out
at the depot yesterday, all fixed up with excellent
covers, like they were intended for camping pur
poses, the Enquirer-Sun determined to find out
what it meant. Skipping up into the $50,000 depot
building of the Central railroad, the first official
we met was Mr. Dan Williams. When we began
to apply the reportorial gimlet and asked what
the pretty wagons meant, he replied :
‘‘It means the biggest thing for Columbus in
the way of a railroad enterprise that we have
ever had, but just step this way into the captain’s
office and he Hill tell you all about it.”
We find Mr. W. L. Clark answering a telegram
in regard to the construction of the iron bridge at
Tallapoosa, but when we made known what was
wanted, he at once said :
“i’ll tell you what it means;
it means that the Columbus and Western rail
road will be extended from Goodwater to Bir
mingham, and these wagons are only a part of
the outfit fertile engineer corps. We have just
to-day completed the outfit entire and are now
ready for the survey to begin.
‘‘When will your engineers begin work?”
‘‘Tuesday morning. The train up the Colum
bus and Western Monday morning will take the
corps to Goodwater, and Tuesday morning they
will begin running preliminary lines and will
locate the lino as soon as possible, so that the
grading may begin at the earliest possible day.
The engineer corps is under the charge* of Mr. F.
Y. Dabney, who will be assisted by Mr. E. N.
Brown, and the road will be located as rapidly
as. o able.’
“Have you any objection to my saying as
much to the readers of the Enquirer-Sun?”
“None in the world. The only time the Cen
tral railroad management has any secrets is
when they have a matter under advisement.
When they have decided that they will do a
thing, then they have no objection to giving it to
the public. They have decided to extend the
Columbus and Western, and just as sure as you
are sitting in that chair i: will be done.”
WHEN THE GRADING WILL BEGIN.
“What time, Mr. Clark, do you think the actual
construction will begin?”
“To that question I cannot make a definite an
swer. It is merely a matter of opinion, but I
know of no reason why the grading should not
he begun within the next sixty days. You can
rest assured that no unnecessary delay will be
made, and we are going to do the work ourselves.
There will be no construction company, no sub
letting contracts nor anything of the kind. Wo
propose to employ hands, put a large force on
the line and push it to completion as rapidly as
possible.”
“What will the extension cost?”
‘The horseback survey develops the fact that
it is a heavy country between Goodwater and
Birmingham, aud we estimate that it will not
cost less than $20,000 per mile. The distance is
74 miles, and a little calculation will shov you J
that on thin estimate the cost nil! be *1,480,000.'’ I
"That will make a hole In the treasury?”
“You are correct about that. The worst of it I
affairs of the Central road pertaining to thi«
section. He is at the head of the entire system
h ?re, and all his interests identical with the
other citizens of our city. The c.nub i, plain man
ner in which he talks about the .C■•lumbua and
Western road will be appreciated by the people.
IT IS PLAIN T<< SEE
that the ample railroad facilities which are now
so flatteringly iu sight tv’ll greatly enhance the
progress ofthe city in the way of commercial pros
perity. Another exceedingly important feature for
wholesale merchants to take into consideration
is the business down the Chattahoochee river and
the adjacent 'country. Probably no city in the
south lias access to so large a territory with such
acceptable rates. This is true as to receiving the
products from the lower country as well as to
sending them whatever supplies may be needed.
This embraces a large territory in Georgia, Ala
bama and Florida, and virtually places the trade
at our command.

incuts being made and those yet in contempla
tion on tlie road between Columbus and Goodwa
ter. In order to meet the necessities of a grand
trunk line we must have a fiist-class road in each
particular.”
COLUMBUS AND WESTERN IMPROVEMENTS.
“Then you will make some outlay on that part
ofthe road?”
“Yes; we find this necessary. We are now
building an iron bridge over the Tallapoosa river
that will cost about $20,000. In the construction
of this bridge an additional span of 150 feet has
been put in. This was on account of the wash
ing of the embankment during the late flood,
which proved quite disastrous at that point. We
also contemplate making many other improve
ments on the road.”
“Will it require new rolling stock?”
“As a matter of course. Three engines and
six passenger coaches are now under construc
tion at the company’s shops in Macon, and our
shops here are also doing work for this road.
This is done in order to meet the demands that
will be caused by the extension. 80 *you see in
talking about the cost of the extension, it will be
a hard matter to estimate, even, just what it will
be. One thing the people can depend upon and
that is it will be done right, let the cost be* what
it may.”
“Then there is not the least uncertainty about
the extension?”
“Absolutely none in the world. It has been
settled for some time and has just been a matter
of expediency as to the time to begin the work.
The time has come and it will be done.”
HOW IT WILL HELP COLUMBUS.
“Do you think, Mr. Clark, that this will mate
rially benefit Columbus?”
"If >:ou will only think for a moment you will
be convinced that no other road will be so much
advantage to Columbus a*, this extension to Bir
mingham. It will form a direct connection with
a system of roads operating between Birmingham
and Memphis, Tenn., and by the building of thh
seventy-four miles between Goodwater und Bir
mingham, the Central obtains a through con
nection, working in perfect harmony from Mem
phis to the seaboard at .Savannah. But this i.s
not all. At .Savannah it forms a direct connec
tion with the Ocean steamship company for New
York. Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore and other
northern apd eastern points. More than this, at
the other end of the line, at Memphis, it forms a
connection with the great systems of railroads
centering there und puts us in a direct line with
Kansas City, St. Louis and all the important
markets of the great northwest.”
“Aud this will greatly increase the business of
the road?"
“ We certainly think so. It will give us pas
senger business from and to points that have not
heretofore given us a moment’s consideration. It j P nce
will be one ofthe main trunk lines and Colum
bus will get all. the benefits arising from being on
such a line. How great this will be no city can
appreciate until they realize what a vast differ
ence, it will make. It means that more people
will come, here, tlie hotels will be benefited, com
mercial interests, mercantile interests, manu'fac-
ing enterprises and classes of trade and commerce
will receive an impetus that is hardly contem
plated. The .freight advantages will be inferior
to none in Uie whole country, and it will send us
square into the coal and iron fields of Alabama.
Everything and every interest I have in the world
is centered right here in Columbus, and it rejoices
rnq very much to see such bright avenues open
ing up to the future progress and prosperity of
the city. 1 lmil it as a bright omen for Colum
bus, and, as the Enquirer-Sun said a few days
ago, all in the world we will have to do is to
make a long pull, a strong pull and a pull alto-
