The Enquirer-Sun finds no pleasure in pub
lishing sensational articles yclept news for the
purpose of getting up a sensation. It prefers to
give its readers news that is reliable, and to keep
them informed of all passing events.
But those papers that are fond of sensations
have had a regular picnic among the railroads
within the last fe v days. They have transferred
large corporations that it takes millions of dollars
to control with a few scratches of a pencil. They
have “scooped” up large railroads and have
built competing lines with as much ease as if
they were eating a good breakftist. True, this
was done by wind, but it has answered the pur
pose of the newspaper writer in search of a sensa
tion.
When some of our esteemed cotemporaries
were devoting column aftei column to the Sa
vannah, Dublin and Western short line, the En
quirer-Sun stood alone, to all apperances, in the
belief that the enterprise was not sufficiently
backed up to culminate in a success. While we
would have been glad to have seen the road a
reality, our opinion, based on reliable Informa
tion, was that it would fall through, and we did
not desire to deceive the readers of this paper.
It is some gratification to us that the Enquir
er-Sun was the first paper to show the fallacy of
the sensational rumors about the coop” of the
Central railroad by the Louisville and Nashville.
We were in possession of reports and rumors in*
sufficient quantity to have filled several columns,
all of which would have been interesting read
ing, but would have been purely sensational.
That is not what we want. The Enquirer-Sun
must be reliable, even at the risk of being accus
ed of a want of temerity.
So far as the Louisville and Nasli\die railroad
having gobbled up the Central, the papers are
now letting themselves down easy. The Savan
nah News, and it has not engaged in this sensa
tional business, has this to say about it:
“ The talk about Louisville and Nashville hav
ing purchased a controlling interest in the stock
is regarded as without any foundation, and that
there will be a change in the management on
September 1st assimply rot. A paper at Atlanta
printed some such stuff yesterday, but ihe wild
eyed reporter who wrote it and the credulous
man who edited it can hardly know anything
about the Central and its affairs. Even if the
Louisville and Nashville had obtained a controll
ing interest in the stock—and there is no reason
to suppose that it has -it is not easy to see how
there could be a change in the management of
the road on September 1st, in view of the fact the
election of officers does not take place until next
January.
“One of the best informed of the Central’s di
rectors said yesterday that about the last tiling
the Louisville and Nashville would be likely to
do would be to obtain control of the Central. If
New York is selling as reported, it is fair to pre
sume that the entire upward movement in Cen
tral’s stock has been caused by the purchase of
shares by those who thought the stock about as
go jd an investment as is otfered at the present
time.”
The Savannah Times also makes a few appro
priate remarks for the occasion. We quote from
it as follows:
“The Atlanta Constitution reports the Central
‘scooped’ by the Louisville and NastniMe rail’
road, by purchase; delivery to be made inimedi
ately, if not sooner; Atlanta to be vastly ben: -
flted; Savannah to Ik? permitted to live awhile
yet; no threat of cutting off this seaport from
communication with the capital of the state.
“This city may congratulate itself on the mug"
naniinity of the Constitution, an Atlanta paper’
employing such fertility of brain to give such sen
sational stuff to its people; our congratulations
ought to take proper shape and culminate in
either a leather medal or the head-gear of a new
ly made Son of Malta, in the olden time, when
he was requested to take a view ^sce himself us
others see him, ) of his likeness.
“The speculation in the stock is boiling down.
Every one uses the phrase “I told you so.” The
excited pulses will give way to healthy, regular j
beats. Those who did uot sell will say “What a
fool 1 was;” those who bought, ditto. The only
parties to regret this state of affairs are the
brokers, whose harvest seems about to close again |
for awhile,”
'I'lie gentleman who sends specials from Bir- j
minghani is preparing fora quiet fall, lie now .
uses the word “if.” when a few days ago lie was i
quite certain. This is his latest :
“The Louisville and Nashville’s scoop of the |
Gordon road which was projected to come cm to j
Sheffield from Clarksville. Tenn., and reports of |
a similar fate for the Georgia Central has sug- |
Goodwater to Birmingham is being pushed with
out any probability of suspending. The Enqui-
rkh-Sun surmises that the real parties who ore
trying to g»t n hold on the Central are the men
interested in the railroad from Kansas City to
Memphis.”
The Enquirer-Sun has no idea that the men
interested in the railroad from Kaunas City to
Memphis, deniie to get control of the Central.
The idea that we intended to convey was that
the Kansas City and Memphis peop^kare so
deeply interested in the extension of tire Colum
bus and Western to Birmingham that they would
not allow it to pass into hands inimicablc to
their interest. They are sufficiently strong tc
gobble up even the Louisville and Nashville if it
should be to their interest to do so. In order to
protect themselves they would get control of the
Central, but that they desire to do this there is no
reason to believe.
We repeat that when the Central railroad has
a change in its management, it will not pass into
the hands of tlie Louisville and Nashville. But if
by any unforsee# circumstances it should do so,
General E. P. Alexander will not be the president
jpfit.

interested in the construction company which

Better opinion in industrial and railroad circles
here is that if the Louisville and Nashville
really gets control of the Georgia Central and
stops the Goodwater extension to this city, the
Kansas City company will combine v itli some
body to put an indej^udent line through to
Savannah.’
In the Montgomery Advertiser of yesterday we
find the following:
“The Courier-Journal after an interview with
Mr. Quarrier, one of the chief officials of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad, denied in the
most emphatic terms that that road had any
thing to do with the purchase of Central railrc ad
stock, or was * all trying to secure control of the
road. This seemed sufficient to satisfy the most
doubting that other interests than the Louisville
and Nashville
“How is Birmingham’s boom?” asked an En
quirer-Sun reporter yesterday of a Columbus
man who had just returned from there.
“Why, those people are crazy over there,” re
plied the gentleman. “Why, I couldn’t buy a
spot big enough to bury myself on for less than
two or three thousand dollars. I stood on a lot
while there that they say had just s» Id for $1000 a
front foot. Visitors are coining into the town on
every train and many of them are buying real
estate, but a number of them turn it loose as soon
as they are offered a good margin. I never in
vested a dollar. Everything was too high for me.
I don’t think such prices will hold good. To pay
an enormous sum fora desirable lot and put a
respectable building on it would cost so much
money that Ido not know how it could be used
so as to pay a decent interest on the investment.”
“What are the Columbus people doing over
there ?”
“ Well, I can tell you a good one on three or
four Columbus fellows. They got up bright and
early the next morning after reaching there, and
look a start for a real estate agent. They had a
guide, as it were, and the first real estate agent
who made his appearance was pointed out to
them. They all rushed hurriedly toward him at
once, and acted in such an excited manner that
the man thought they were crazy. He could not
answer questions for them fast enough, and
finally, after he had found time to price them a
lot, they began to bid against each other like a
lot of excited men at an auction. The real estate
agent finally became so frustrated that he ran out.
of his office down the street, followed by the Co
lumbus party, each one shouting his offer at the
top of his voice. The citizens saw the excite
ment and were perfectly confounded. The agent
was so closely pursued that he had to appeal to
the police for protection, and all of the Columbus
fellows were arrested and locked up. When it
was finally understood that the Columbus party
simply wanted to ride on the Birmingham boom
they were released from custody and allowed to
return to their hotel. Later in the day they
ventured out again and quietly made their pur
chases, and before niglit every one of them was
immensely rich. Six drinks of Birmingham
whisky will make anybody rich, but I don’t mean
to say they got rich in that way.”
“Do you expect me or anybody else to believe
that story?” asked the reporter.
“I don’t care whether you do or not It’s
vouched for by good authority. Two of the party
are still in Birmingham. One of them lias in
vested all his money and is now speculating on
margins. He buys in tlie morning and sells in
the evening, and without a cent, pockets his
thousands of profits every day. He left here less
than a week ago, and now he’s a rich man. If
he comes buck here at all it will be simply to let
his friends know how rich he is.”
“Would you mind telling who he is?” queried
the reporter.
“I don’t care to give him away. You will
know iu time. He left here the first of the week.
There were three in the party. One of them
stayed only a day. Two of them are there yet.
The one who is buying and selling on margins
left here with his buggage wrapped up in a news-,
paper. Now it would take a trunk to hold his
greenbacks. It’s a regular bonanza if you only
strike it right. Some people don’t strike it right,
but this Columbus man has got the nerve and
push, as is shown by the way he tackled that
real estate agent the first morning after he got
there, lie’s been striking it right ever since, and
he’s kept busy pocketing his margins.”
“So you must think Birmingham is the place
to make money?”
“Undoubtedly fi me people make money there,
but the fabulous success ol this particular Colum
bus man is not the historj of every man who goes
there by any means. He has fallen into an ex-
ceptionably rich vein, and he’s got the nerve to
work it. J ’ll bet you that before a week you will
be reading in the papers about ‘The Money King
of the South;’ ‘Remarkable Story of How a Co
lumbus Man Struck It Rich by Speculating in
Birmingham Dirt.’ ”

Maimer in Which They Were Treated—Card of
Thanks From BoJi.Clubs.
The Columbus boys and all who went down to
Seale from Columbus on Thursday were loud in
their praise of the hospitality they received.
Yesterday they were busily engaged in trying to
make those who didn’t go feel bad by telling
them what they missed. The gun clubs have
acknowledged their thanks for the royal treat
ment received. The Columbus gun clubs yester
day mailed the president o; the Seale club the
following:

of the Club: In behalf of the Columbus Gun
Club, we desire to extend to you our hearty
thanks for your courteous welcome and hospita

Still the Atlanta oor- | com £ aa we have received at your hands. The
trading in Central stock
ipondent of the Augusta Chronicle under j Jttth of August will remain as a'red-letter day
date of the 24th telegraphed as follows:
“Information held in railroad circles here
leaves littl^ doubt that the Louisville and Nash
ville railroad will take charge of the affairs of the
Central railroad and begin to direct its manage
ment and policy at an early day—perhaps by Sep
tember 1. There is no longer any doubt that the
majority of the stock is owned by the Louisville
and Nashville road, and it is said here that
President Raoul and the other officials will be
displaced at no distant day.
“The Chronicle knocks part of the dispatch in
the head by saying;
“ ‘Our correspondent may be correct in his in
formation, but no change can be made until alter
the annual election in January, and President
Raoul and his efficient corps of assistants will

tion of affairs.’*
The Advertiser also publishes the following,
and we reproduce it in order to correct the wrong
impression which our remarks appear to have
made: \
“The Columbus Enquirer-Sun of yesterday

cun never hope to rival the attentions and gen
erous hospitality extended by all your county
that day to your guests.
With balls, ' ’

ready to meet you in friendly contest, but when
barbecues are mentioned we most cheerfully

Atlanta, August 27.—A special from Nashville
to the Constitution announces the disbanding
to-night of the Savannah club. ’Tis said they do
this in order to forfeit their franchise in the
league and to forfeit $500 to the league rather
than to the Atlantas for nob playing the recent

Mutual Life Pollute* Attain,
A short time ago Mr. William Heath, of Lake-
wood. N. J., died. Many years ago he took out
two policies of insurance in The Mutual Life In
surance Company of New York, one for $15,000
and the other for $5000. When these claims were
settled the company paid $24,733, the $1733 being
a portion of the dividends which Mr. Heath had
allowed to remain unused. The total premiums
paid amounted to $6139.89, so that the company
returned $18,953.11 more than he had paid in, or
$1.04 for every dollar invested. This is only one
of the thousands of illustrations of the advantage
of selecting The Mutual Life Insurance Company
of New York, which is the largest and strongest
company in the world, and which, by strict econ
omy of management, is enabled to make better
returns to its policy-holders than any other com
pany.--Atlantic City Review.
TWO CLIPPINGS FROM THE BOSTON COURIER
Charles E. Adams, of Springfield, Mass., had a
life policy pf $1000 in The Mutual Life Insurance
Company, which amount was paid to his heirs

South Braintree, Mass., had an endowment pol
icy in the same company which matured and was
paid to him, the total amount being $1231.82.
The policies in The Mutual Life Insurance
