"If it had not been for that unfortunate apple one could always have just what one wishes,” says Mrs. Carlyle, and I suppose it is the 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 indifferent,” dissatisfaction in some fonn may always be safely counted on.

Do cats run errands, rescue drowning children, drive cattle, or serve man in any way ? Why not de:< iti'! . license for cows? Here’s meal, in deed.

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. IIOM) YOU!

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.

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- llouso for Sale.
