■^35 MjgUIREK-SCN: COLCMBUS, GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 30, MY INTELLIGENCE. BETWEEN BITES AT BREAKFAST. JSUGGETS OK NKWH GATHERED BY ACTIVE REPORTERS. —Tlie regular monthly term of the Court of Ordinary will convene Monday morning. ‘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. Another allusion in the article wa3 that A ffTATHMHKT BY THE COLUMBUS RAIL ROAD COMPANY. Editor Enqtjtbeb-Scn: In the article headed, “The Electric Line Again,” which appeared Friday morning, and which I presume was a communication, although not signed as such, the writer commences uiiiiu b . „. , , , .. . i by stating that the North Highlands Rail- —Deputy Sheriff te ael left for i roa j <j om p an y j s no t seeking injuriously IIilledgeville yesterday in charge of Mr. L. affect f n 3 the interests of the Alley W.

This was its policy then, and this is its policy now. It seems ridicu lous to attempt to array the public mind against this little company as a monopoly, when it has only $25,000 of capita! stock.

McNeill, anil Judge Mark H. Blandford, for the vacant Judgeship of the Chattahoochee circuit. Both petitions 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. Respectfully, Jno. F. Flournoy, President Columbus Railroad Company.

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 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 < otupany, and expi ct to continue to do so; but Rose Hill lias had just and equal scr- vic \ and not a citizen in the upper portion of the city of Columbus will complain of the service given by the Columbus Railroad Company.
