Amendment to Section 8 —Dr. F elton
Will Probably Nuillfy the Victory
'ey Reconsideration To-Day Mr.
Harreii'e Amendment in Favor of
Selling Comes Under Dr. Felton’s
Fire.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 21.—When consid
era tier; f the 1“ ise bili was resumed to
day Mr. O’Neill of Fulton scared a victory
by securing the adopt on of his amendment
to section 8, prov ding that trie com
mi-sion to receive biis inteid of de
ciding shall immediately trar.init :hem
to the ge eral assemblv if it is
in see-ion. which shall immediately con
vene in j int sessiou and determine to which
bidder tne road shall be lease!, with t ie
right to reject any and ail bids. If the
general assembly is n't in sessio , then th*
commission created bv the bill shall deter
mine which shall bo accepted. This a men 1-
ment was adopted by a majority of on o
Vote.
Mr. Felton gave notice that he would
move reconsideration to-morrow, an 1 tu *
Impression is that it will be defeated when
reconsidered.
HARRELL’S DESIRE TO SELL.
The sens: ti on of the day’s debate was over
Mr. Harrell’s amendment providing for tne
sale, if no accentablebid t > lease is received.
Mr. Har eli made a strong and earnes
■peecn in support of h s amendment. Ho
■aid the state ought not to own a railroa 1,
and sdd the road bad cost in discussions,
proper disenssi ms, bundrels of thousands
of dollars. The main argo ne it in favor of
the sale was that ttie ownership of a road
was not o e ot the proper functions of a
State. The state has as muc > busine -s to
start a hotel or a factory in competition
With citizens, or to do a mercantile business
NOT JUSTIFIED IN HOLDING IT.
He said that the circumstances were not
such now as t > justify the state in h iding
the road, aid the c mstituti >ti of 18aT pro
hibits the state builling any others. It is
necessary in this day for a road t build
branches to protect itself. The state road
cannot do that and has to suffer iu conse
quence. It has no power to protect itself
against rivals. The time is near when it
will be stranded high and dry as a local
road, and will be an expense to the state.
The East Tennessee Is its competitor.
WILL LOSE HEAVILY IN VALUE.
It is po p sed to ext end the Marietta and
North Georgia to Atlanta and take away
ore-sixth of the value of the road and one
sixth of the income. He spoke of the Cen
tral’s Kansas City connections, winch
diverted freights. He culled attention to
the Chattanocga. Rome and Colu nl us.
He understood there was a movement on
foot to make a shorter lino fr ni Dalton to
Chattanooga The pe pis near the line of
the state road are deprived of transporta
tion facilities because the state road cannot
build extensions and branch© i.
A DOG IN THE MANGER.
The road ought to be sold so anew owner
can build branches. At : resent it is a dog
in the manger. The sale of the r ad would
wipe out the public debt, a ccan-u nmatio.i
do ouliy t> be wished. The interest savo l
could go to the scnooi*.
Ho was followed on the same line by Mr.
Davis of Burke
FELTON SLAUGHTERS THE AMENDMENT.
Mr. Felton obtained the floor and in a
speech which commanded the attention of
tne whole house fairly slaughtered the
amendment. He uttacked the most vulner
able feature of the scheme, providing ho v
the pavineuts shall bo made, to me t the
maturing public debt, pressi g the print
that if the rental should be applie 1 to the
debt by the time the purchasers c >ul l pay
for the road under Mr. llarro.l’s amend
ment the state would have wiped out the
public debt, and still own the road and per
haps with enha cea value.
HOW THE HOUSE STANDS.
The House was i favor of re-loasing the
road as sh wu by a v< to on a res lution
some days ago. He said the efforts to get
the lease b. 11 entangled with ameudma its
wus not the work of friends of the lease.
He said Mr. Ha rell was inconsistent in
claiming at one time that the road was
worth s'■.ooo,ooo, and at another that it
was soon to be< omec miparati e y valueless.
As to the possible dec, ease in value he
said t lat twenty years ag > when Geu. Un -
lock and his gang were iu contr- l numbers
>t men w anted to sell the mad for $5,009,-
0(H). He was glad that the road was not
told. It has increased in value at least
$3,000,000.
GROWTH OF THE ROAD’S BUSINESS.
He spoke at leng h f the growth nf the
bu iness of the state road, Inch has fol
lowed the development of the state in coal,
iron, marble, etc. If Georgia were on her
deathbed ad making her will, he would
advocate the saie. But, thank God, she is
not dead or dying. Hha has increased in
taxable value, including railroads,
$25,000,000 iu twelve months. The state
was never so prosperous, magnifice it in her
possessions, ad iu her prospects, and yet
the gentleman from Webster, in hisgl >o.ny
imagination, presents the pictui e of a dying
stare.
Mr. Davis of Burke asked what guarantee
the state had that the same mistake would
not tie made now that ' as made in ISTIt.
“What is that?” asked Mr. Felt in.
‘‘l-ieasmg fur $2.3,000 wuen $.7.3,000 wa
offered,” said Mr. l)a\is.
“ihis time,” said Mr. Felton, “we have
down yonder John B. Gordon and that
comptroller general, [Applause.] old
Nathan Barnett, B b Harde.uau and
Clifford Anderson, to whom this matter is
turned over i stead ot being turned over to
Kufus Bullock and his gang as in 1870.”
THE HOUSE AGAINST TH* AMENDMENT.
The sentiment of the House seemed so
decided against the amendinen that a num
ber f gentlemen wuo intended ad iressi.ig
the House 1 . favor of the sale refrained a id
a vote was taken, resulting i . the defeat of
the ame dme.it by a vote of 31 t 87.

GEN. ALEXANDER’S SUGGESTION.
It is Cr.ticised by One Who Wants an
In lependaut Road.
Sister’s Ferry, Ga., Aug. 20.— Editor
Morning Xews: I see in your i-sue of Aug.
14 an article containing Gen. Alex mde. ’s
views on the Souuth B und railroad. I
o ly reply to that art where he speaks of
toe Mtvannah river. He says “that it
would int too great an expe so t > bridge tho
river ( vso little traffic.” I don’t think
Gen. Alexander knows what he is talking
about. \\ hy, sir, this whole couutry
would boa leider for ih it
road. Tne advantages we would have over
southwest Georgia anl other places soutu
in re,ar i to dista .ce are more than anyone
has th -light of. Why, sir, tho whole coun
try would ship over its lire fruits of all
kinds, and, besides, the truck farmers
would ship ail of their produce by it. My
opi ion is that Geu. Alexander sees the ,0
different advantages aud is fixing to scoop
up tie road. Iho e tno projectors will not
allo w anything like this, since so liberal
a right of way has been given
them. It would boa greater adva tage to
Gen. Alexander to connect with the Fort
Royal road, as he w uld soon have tho
m : agoment ft 0 whole tui ig. lav if
the road can’t be an independent oaa don’t
build .tat all, and we will do as wo have
been doing before. J. D. Groover.
AN OKIoINAL DEFENSE.
Why a Darky Was Refused Pay for
His Cow.
FYom the Athens (Ga.) Banner.
The other day a Nortneastera railroad
traiu killed a cow for an old darky, who 1
the owner forthwith wout to the section
boss and demanded pay for his animal, of
course p.acing its vaiue very high, for the
quickest way to make a thoroughbred
animal of a scrub is to get it killed by tue
railroad.
Tho railroad heard the old negro through
patiently, and the 1 remarked:
“VVe:l, don’t you know that Clarke is a
stock-law cou .tv, and that your cow had no
right to bo running at largef’
“Yes, boss,” he replied, “but I woted agin
dat law, and’sides de old cow broke outer
de pastur.”
“fnat makes no difference. This railroad
is incorporated, aud your cow had no more
right 011 our track than she had 1 1 Dr. Lin
ton’s corn field. You arc liable to pay
damages for letting h~r ruu at large aud
tresDnss o 1 our roadbed, and tnen you can
be lauded in the penitentiary for tho at
tempt that your cjw made to commit mur
der by throwing our traiu off t ie track and
killing the passengers, I snail take vour
name right now a id enter suit against you
for both offeusas.”
“Hold on dar, boss,” exclaimed the old
man. “I ain’t got no name, and as to the
old cow, she had de hollow-horn anyhow,
and l’se glad d> k ars saved me de troub e
ob kn >cking her in ds heal. l’se obleeged
to di ra.l oad—inde ai I is.”
And t.lO claimant left, and this was th©
last heard from uiui.
RBNAUD ON TRIAL.
Cnly Seven Spectators In Court to
Watch the Proceedings.
Pfbvis, Miss., Aug. 2L—Bud Renaud
■went to trial today. The jury was not
completed until this afternoon. There were
but seven spectators in the court room

take i here in the prize fighting cases.
Re iaud pleaded not guilty, a id an exami
nation of the witnesses was begun. So far
there is a failure to connect Renaud with
the prize tight in Missis ipni.
