Special Corresoondenee to the Journal.
New York, Oct. i.—There has
been a mysterious conference in
progress in this city for f he past
few days that may mean a sensation
in railroad circles in Georgia be-
fore very long. Early in the week
judge William Bailey Thomas,
former owner of the little Blue
Ridge and At antic road, Mr. W.
V. Lauraine, receiver, and Mr. W.
11. Black, attorney-at-law, showed
up in New York and registered to-
gether at the Marlborough. It was
known that one object of Mr. Lau-
raine , s V1S t was to confer w5th
Mr - W - G - Pin - Coffin ’ the repre-
sentative here of the English capi-
talists who own the Hlue Rid b re
and Atlantic, with a view to clos-
ing up the receivership, which he
} ias held for the past four years,
The presence of Mr. Black could
not be explained on the same score,
however.
All Tuesday and Wednesday
Mr. Black was closeted with that
arch railway conspirator, Newman
Erb, whose ventures and successes
in the southern railway world have
been so often exploited. Rumor
lias . it, . and . know , how .
’ you rumor
these tips, r that the conferences .
gets
have looked to the purchase of the
little Blue Ridge and Atlantic from
the English owners as a link in 0*e
new , j,ne that is • projected • . A f from
Chattanooga, to Augusta and from
Knoxville to the same point. If
you will study the map for a mo-
ment you will observe that the
Northeastern road, which is already
a part of the proposed route to
Knoxville, fills the distance from
Athens to Lula. Then you will
find that the little Blue Ridge and
Atlantic runs from Cornelia to Tal-
lulah, and that Cornelia is only
about io or 12 miles above the
point on the Southern where the
Northeastern taps it at Lula. This
means a track of only a few miles
need be built to connect the North-
Eastern and the Blue Ridge and
Atlantic and offer a continuous
line from Athens to Tallulah.
That would leave only about 130
miles of road to be built to corn-
piete the proposed line from Ath-
ens to Knoxville. The rest would
be easy.
Hence the suspicion which rests
over the conference held in this
city within the past few days. The
little Blue Ridge and Atlantic has
at last become a link in an impor-
tant chain and its purchase by a
new company may be authoritative-
ly announced at an early date.
Mr. Lauraine has been ordered
to close up the receivership and
will begin immediate steps to do
this upon his return to Atlanta on
„ Saturday. Mr. Lauraine’s splen-
did work in behalf of this road has
made him a great reputation in the
railroad world. The road is
a small one, but the in :
manner
which , • , he . . has acted , general ,
as e man-
ager, receiver, auditor, purchasing .
agent, general passenger agent,
general freight agent, and
ly conductor, engineer and fireman,
and all with signal success, entitle
him to the palm. He has contend-
ed with all the ills that such an iso-
lated piece of railroad property
should naturally fall heir to without
annoying the court in any sense,
and has easily marked himself a

railroad genius. It is but natural
then that Mr. Lauraine should have
some flattering offers to go to oth-
er places. One in particular that
he looks upon with a great deal of
favor would take him to Guatema¬
la. He will in all possibilitv ac¬
cept this offer, much to the sincere
regret of his thousands of friends in
Georgia.
“It is not strange that the heads
of all the trusts in the country are
opposed to the Chicago ticket, be¬
cause the Chicago ticket is opposed
to all the trust of the countrv. It is
not strange that the money-changers
are opposed to the Chicago ticket,
because the Chicago ticket is op¬
posed to the money-changers’ poli¬
cy. It is not strange that syndi¬
cates which grow fat while the
people grow lean are opposed to
the Chicago ticket, because the suc¬
cess of the Chicago ticket means that
those syndicates shall cease to fat¬
ten on the adversities of the people.
I believe, my friends, that the time
has come when we must restore to
the people the right to run the gov¬
ernment and that we must restore
the government to the old policy
whereby it guarantees equal rights
to all and special privileges to no
one -—W. J. Bryan.

A NORMAL SCHOOL.
Prof. T. G. Hosick Would Like to
Start one.
The Toccoa Real Estate Ex¬
change is in receipt of the follow¬
ing letter:
Meredith, Pa., Sept. 30 .
Toccoa Real Estate Exchange,
Toccoa, Ga.
Gentlemen : I am anxious to se-
cure a good location for a Normal
Academy for the training of teach¬
ers, and write to you hoping you
may be able to give me information
regarding your town and county.
If you think Toccoa would be a
good location for such a school,
please let me know and I will send
papers which will show the people
that I am capable and responsible.
Send information regarding the
schools of your county if you have
such at hand.
Yours respectfully,
Thos. G. Hosick.
From the above it will be seen
that Prof. Hosick means business
and a normal school in Toccoa,
properly advertised, would no
doubt, be a great thing for our
town.
Every person in Toccoa should at
least lend his moral support to ev-
er y new enterprise that starts in
To< ; c ? a > and sboaId patronize all
h institutions, . because if
suc we are
to push u our town . forward ,• , we must
support home enterprises _
