!*r«i rr.an fire minutes he wax among the many
other*, who had gathered at a point ja.*t south of
•'.e pa.rk to see he first spike driven on the
mw-talked-of Georgia Midland.
“Gentientcn: We have met to dr e the first
<r;> ke ... thef»e>rgFa M Hand %nd G i.f railrooui.
Befievu.g tbac It r* -ife * and best to hurrah
the o->mj*letion of lay urea.: I only
desire n'>w to say that I believe and can a.--; ire
you that this great enterprise, so a'jxpicror-J;
begun and rigorously u date, wii. have
a *peedy and rucccrnfal termination. Then we
can indulge in cere.tr*onie* and forget prohibi
tion, but now without farther delay tni.* ipike
will be driven and we will get oat of the way of
the track layer*. Work, not words,count most.”
Clank! ciank: clank!
And the spike on the outside of the rail had
been ient up to the head. Then another was
driver on the inside, and President Jordan laid
down the hammer and stepped a side with a smile
of satisfaction which he so well deserved to wear.
“Bring up that car load of rails, boys,” com
manded the gentleman in charge of the convict*,
and in two minutes track laying on the Georgia
Midland bad begun in earnest.
There were a number of prominent citizens
present to witness this, one of the mott import
ant events in the history of Colurnba-*. .Among
them was Mayor Grim and set era msrmbera
of the city council and a majority of the b.ard of
dtfcctotl of the company. It waa indeed gratify.
Ing to those gent/ev.en who projected and have
labored -' foithfully and earnestly for the - oc-
cew of thl-: enterprise to see the beginning of
that portion of the work which always
assures the public that a railroad com
pany means buxine**. Roads a.-*r often grade 1
and never operated, but when the Iron is laid a
railroad becomes a railroad ‘.n fact. It was a
fitting thing that G Gunbv Jordan was selected
to drive the first spike. No other rnan has done
so much for the success of this enterprise. He
ha* staked his reputation and his money upon it,
and he has given it hi* best taient and energy.
With him and his co-laborers thia has not been a
selfish work. It has been a work of love, in y/art
at least. Columbus needed the road. It was
necessary to her future prosperity. These men
recognized this faerr and with cr^rornenTable
public spirit they went to work to get it, and they
have succeeded beyond question. Their success
Ih the success of all ColumbuM. The track laying
machine arrived yesterday and will be put on the
line to-day. When everything gets to working
smoothly o.ne mile of track will be laid a day. and
in thirty days the Georgia Midland ••ill be bring
ing cotton to Columbus.
ITie first engine for the rood :s expected to ar
rive to-day. It was bul’t by the Bald* in Iccomc-
tlvo works, and the raa/rbinist* who are to put it
together and deliver :* to the company re« hed
the city yesterday. Before the end of the week it
will Ik* puffing up and down the track, and as
each day passes It will venture one mile farther
north, and before many months have passed we
will tie called upon to board the train for the
other end of the line to sec* the last sp*ke driven.
On that occasion tempo ranee plel/es will be for
gotten for once and everybody will join in drink
ing the health of the puhbc-sp-rited men who
j -oifoted and carried to a successful termination
the Georgia Midland and Gulf railroad.
THE FIRST INSTALLMENT Dt*E.
f'nder the terms of mbw-nption to the stock of
th«- Georgia Midland, twenty-five jter cent, of the
amount subscribed was to be paid upon the com
pletion of the grading of each section of twenty
miles. The first twenty miles have been com
pleted and the directors met in this city yesterday
and 5>a»**ed a resolution instructing the treasurer,
Mr. C. L. Davis, to call for the payment of the
first installment of 26 per cent. The notes are at
the National Bank of Columbus and are now
due, anil will no doubt be promptly paid by the
subscribers.

-It Will B' & *b»»- if Tk*» Allow It to Be
It If wv.fl regret that xeseethe necevrity which
ha* wpellfc-i the directors zf the public library
to intone the call for the retorn of aL the book*,
papers, etc., belonging to the library association
I* it pomible that the eftizena of Coiumbtt* are
going to permit the library to be closed * Certain
ly a city that tsAA'A rA BAM inhabitants, the
largest cloth tni Iron mainrfhctorfea, and one A
the best trade center-; in the state, can rapport a
library, when p_acee as small as Perry anl
Americus do support one soecessfoily? Are we
going to acknowledge that our sister and r.val
cities. Mi con, Augusta. Atlanta and Savannah
can far o-ji-s:rip ns that they can ha*^e a o ib-
lic library, an l we not * Columbus ha* few pu>
.:c ins*;* no college*, and few schools.
Are we to be without a Lbrnry also? #
For time .; hs-s been : opposed by many
that the library was on a boom. How this Im-
prw-sion got .uy we are unable to say. At any
rate, the present action of the director* shows
the contmcj. FLa* the library is popular i»
prr/veo by the n . ver of people who vi-.It it.each
day, and that the books are used is shown from
the monthly reports of the librarian, which sh >w
Cor the three month* ending September 1st a cir-
cnla.i -c of K»V In Ban lay’s Ex^ltreu there
was. & «ta*ement from the president of the board
of directors, showing that the total indebted
of the library is only $220.23. Are we to allow
our library, containing nearly 7500 volumes, and
among the number some very valuable works,
having rooms conveniently located, well fur
nisher! and lighted and all arrangement* nec-
e«*ary for conducting a successful institu
tion, cloaed on 2ccocnt of the small
s im of t;/2j 2.3. Wont some of our pa olio spirited
men ome to tbe rescue? I have heard numbers
of people say within the past few days, “It will
be a shame it they allow the library to be cloaed.”
Who are they? Are you not yourself a member
of the community yon designate by the pronoun
tfaev? I yet everybody help the library. There
are very few who are not able to be members,
a . * when yr think it will be a shame if’'they”
let the instituricn fail, remember it will be a
shame if you iet it fail, and it wii: be a disgrace
if Columbus doer allow the librar- to be closed.
Every intelligent person know* the g'-od such
an in-ditutif'n does in every neighborhood and
every po. ~ n knows that a place the -ue a this
i* able to ; pport one. We have been told that
i» will take four hundred members to con
tinue the institution. The roll cf mem
bership aV'-v.-i nearly three hundred paving
* members: purely 100 members more can be found.
The dues are only $1 every three months, or
33' j cents per month. The idea of giving up an
institution that does as much good and affords
as much pleasure as the library, simply because
it requires a membership of 400, who are expcc el
to pay 3.: .-.cent* per month to sustain it! I fee'
. confident that our citizens will not allow such a
disgrace to be put upon the fair name of our c ty.
Let the ladies, those noble workers who respond
to every good cause, assist in this matter. Let
•-ach of the 300 who are now members add their
h Ip: let every citizen of our loved Columbus Co
something. If every one of the 300 who are now
members, will add one new member, we will
have a membership more than sufficient to sus
tain us. Talk library among your friends, atk
your neighbors and acquaintances to join, get
everybody interested and let us make one more
effort, even if it be a herculean one, to put « ur
« valuable library on a solid foundation
. .-t -rr-arilc's telegraphic weather reports
f r the reek ire thus rammarized :
Th«i; r-:r - cf the country lying east of the
M si'-vTpi ri.er visited by an earthquake
7u-r Lxy nicht. which was most severely felt
;u the: atyacherz states. As Charleston the dam
age to property was very great, being estimated
at about five mifoons of dollars. In other sec
tions of South Carolina damage i* also said to
have resulted. The weather, although some
what cool at times, has rather favored cotton,
and in man> parts of Texas an improvement in
condition is reported. Picking is now making
good headway.

Slade requests us to say that special attention
will be given to oratory and declamation. At
the end of the term the boys ^ll be given an op

DiiiHcnU From the I>eriMlon.
Enquirer-Sun : While I am a member of the
hoard of directors, and chairman of the library
committee, I was necessarily absent from the
meeting of the 3d instant, when a resolution was
adopted to call in the books and wind up the
affairs of the library. Moreover, I was not ap
prised by any one of the gentlemen of the board
' that they expected to take such important and
extraordinary action. I do not recognize that
we, as a board of restricted and certain powers,
have the right to do as we have done. The reso-
; lution, if necessary, should have been adopted at
a meeting of the members of the library associa-
j tion, called for the consideration of that particu
lar purpose. I respect frilly, but firmly, dissent
from the action as taken by the other gentlemen
of the board, i have urged that a m eting of tbe
association be called at once.
Respectfully, W. B. Slade.
A Long Axo ( Itizen.
The following letter received by us last night
( expluins itself:
Adrian, Mich., August 30.—Editor Enquirer-
Sun : 1 send you to-aay papers announcing the
death of my step-father. Orville P. Layard, who
was a resident of your city eighteen years before
the war. There may be some old residents who
will remember the doctor, as I have heard him
speak so highly of the people of Columbus. I
have often neard him speak of a magnolia grove
he set out himself in front of his residence. Some
of th&old-timers will remember him.
Yours, W. C. Schoolcraft.
The Adrian Evening Record thus speaks of hia
death :
The news of the death on Saturday afternoon
of Dr. O. P. Layard, who has resided for the past
few years in Raisin, has cast a gloom upon a
large circle of friends in this city who knew him
and liked him well. The doctor was oneofna-
ture’s noblemen, a genial, whole-souled, accom
plished gentleman, who commanded the respect
and admiration of all who knew him. This
afternoon the last sad services preparatory to the
( interment of the remains at Oak wood are beinj
conducted at the Quaker church.
