‘THAT ELECTRIC LINE.’
portion of the Columbus Railroad Compa
ny's track has been built new and laid
with twenty-five pound steel rails instead
of the old sixteen pound rails used by the
old company.
The Columbus Railroad Company has
been arranging its track for some time past
with a view of using electricity at an early
date. If this new company takes the cen
ter of Second avenue, as it is said they will
do, the Columbus Railroad Company will
not have room to move its track to the
center of the street and use electricity.

against this little company as a monopoly,
when it has only $25,000 of capita! stock.

were numerously signed.
Close ok the Festival.—The Library
Festival closed last night. The announce
ment will almost bring tears to the eyes of
the many who have been so fortunate as
to be able to attend this unparalled enter
tainment.
As promised, last night’s program was a
gem. Mr. Awtreysang, the Missis Buhler
plajed, the tambourine girls danced, and
so, by special request did petite Janet Bain.
The recitations by Miss Holt and Mr.
David J. Bailey, Jr., deserve special men
tion, and a long notice which the lateness
of tlie hour prevents. The Picolosolo by
Nicholas Brescia was received with enthu
siasm, and the song, Tosti's “Goodbye,”
by Prof. Bond, was a rare treat. Prof.
Bond has a beautiful voice and is a most
valuable acquisition to our musical circles.
The management of the fefvival wish
to make public acknowledgement of thanks
and gra. ii tide to the good people of Co
lumbus for their attendance, and for the
many substantial evidences they have
given of heir interest in the, library. The
people of Columbus in return wish to
thank the. management for giving them a
week of infinite pleasure, and for giving
them so substantial an institution as the
library in which to evidence their interest.
To Miss Hull the entire success of the
festival is due. Under her superior gen
eralship and indefatigable energy, the ma
chinery moved along so smoothly that no
one realized the stupendous efforts it re
quired. .She mast be proud of her tri
umph, and the directors of the library are
to be congratulated on having her at the
helm.
Catarrh is a most disgustingailment and
yet many unnecessarily suffer with the dis
ease. 1 hey will try local applications,
w ich do no good whatever, but fail to
try such constitutional treatment as is
afforded by the use of B. B. H. (Botanic
Blood Balm), which removes the mttcou-
p.oison in the blood and thus eradicates the
cause of the disease.
N. (’. Edwards, I.ampassas Springs,
Tex., writes: “I was greatly annoyed
wi'h catarrh, which impaired my general
health. The discharge from my nose was
very offensive, and 1 used various adver
tised remedies without benefit until finally
the use of B. B. B. entirely cured me. 1 am
proud to recommend a blood remedy with
Mich powerful curative, virtue.”
B. C. Kinard it Son, Towa'iga, Ga.,
writes: “We induced a neighbor to try
B. B. B. for catarrh, which he thought in
curable, as it had resist! d a!i treatment.
It delighted him and continuing its use he
was cured sound and well.”
lumbus, and nobody regrets more than I
do the difference of opinion on this mat
ter. I know of no crime committed by
myself and associates in the Columbus
Railroad Company, except that this Com
pany has been instrumental in the invest
ment Iiere of over half a million dollars—
all of which has been expended in this
community, and all of which has added
materially to the advancement of Colum
bus. If this is a crime, I am ready to
stand branded with it.

on Second avenue, but anywhere in the
city of Columbus that the North High
lands Company chooses to do. This is
what their charter as asked lor would al
low them to do. In 1883, before a dollar
was invested by any of the original stock
holders of the Columbus Railroad Com
pany, under the advice of one of the ablest
attorneys of the city of Columbus, who
was then the attorney of the Columbus
Railroad Company, a communication was
prepared and submitted to the Mayor and
Council of the city of Columbus. The ob-

straight line is wanted. They cannot
have a st raight line and reach Broad street

road has between fifteen and tweuty curves

one additional curve in order to avoid oc

The building committee has given Pres

work has already been done on the plans.
By the first day of January the plans
will be submitted, together with several
bids from large contractors for the full

The writer alludes to the vast and lucra
tive privileges accorded to fbe Columbus
Railroad Company. These privileges have
been more lucrative to the public than to
the stockholders of the Columbus Rail
road Company. This road was organized
in 1883. and has never paid a dividend;
very dollar of its earnings have been used
the act. of incorporation, and desire to take
immediate steps towards inaugurating tlie
work of building the street railroad. 1 am
directed by the board of directors to so in
form you, and respectfully request permis
sion to make use of the streets as pre
scribed in the charter of the. company.”
Now, what was asked for in said com
munication: “Permission to make use of
tlie streets as prescribed in the charter of
the company.” The language used in the
charter of tlie company is as follows: | in improvements; and . certainly the
“The said company shall have exclusive
power arid authority to survey, lay out,
construct, equip, use and employ street
railroads in the city of Columbus.” This
tx tmission was unanimously granted by
the Mayor and Council of the city of Colum
bus. The opinion of said attorney that this
action on the part of the City Coun
cil committed the City Council to the
exclusive grant were reported to the own
ers of the foreign capital invested in this
road, and was largely instrumental in in
ducing them to make the investment.
Now. it is said that tlie city can revoke
this grant, and tlie city is not bound by
the action of the Mayor and Council above
referred to. Inasmuch as the Columbus !
railroad is not claiming the exclusive right j
public cannot complain that its
rates have been high or exhorbitant,
and no one can truthfully say that any dis
crimination lias been made by this com
pany in favor of the East Highlandsagainst
any other part, of the city of Columbus.
The Muscogee Real Estate Company lias
furnished money to the Columbus Railroad

but Rose Hill lias had just and equal scr-

of the city of Columbus will complain of
