~ iK&iVi I " i ~ ^ j He Weekly Democrat. ■M K. RCHELL, Editor and Prop'r THURSDAY. MAY 4,1882. EDITORIAL VOTES —If Senator Hill does die we verily Miete the Atlanta Correspondent of the Savannah News will rejoice, for the reaeon that he has been predicting that event for the past two years. We hope that he may be a false prophet in this —As we said in onr last issue, we weald delight to see Hon. W. A. Har ris, of Worth county, nominated for Congress from the State at large ; and ve mean every word we say. The Worth Star has all of the aid and com fort in the valiant fight it is making for this gallant gentleman that we can give. —We know that our readers will approve of the space we devote this week to the Chattanooga, Columbus & Florida Railroad. The articles were takeo from the Columbus Enquirer. Th* Democrat has been pegging away <at this enterprise for the last ten years, and we arc glad to see that we are even at this late day getting able news paper help. —The Railroad Commission of Geor gia needs revision by all means. We de not desire it abolished for we are certain that railroad monopolies should be held within a proper check ; but to Mt np three autocrats with unlimited powers to control this immense property • and to be responsible only to themselves we think is carrying the thing too far. Give the railroads a fair showing- nothing else. —Mr. ‘‘A. G. Persimmon,” alias Bosk, the Southern correspondent for the Buffalo (N. Y.) Courier, “took in” the country from Bainbridge via Col quitt to Arlington, on or about the 15 th wnltiao, as we notice in au extended letter written from the latter town bearing that date. He wrote a very readable and spicy letter, but a bigger liar was never given access to the eolmnns of a newspaper. His slander on Bainbridge was doubtless occasioned from the fact that he left without pay off his board bill. His personalities, toe, npon the good people of Colquitt were only worthy of a Bohemian and a fraud. Probably he left that village Minos a board bill, also. 0V1 RAILROAD PROSPECTS. We Bhall not tire our readers this week with a long editorial on the above •abject. We have talked considerably about it lately, but would reiterate that car prospects are bright The recent survey of the S. F. & W. R’y to Chattahoochee gives us great hope that the work on this important line will begin from Bainbridge at an early day. Of course it has not yet been definitely settled, but we know that Maj. H. 8. Haines, the General Manager of the road, will do all in his power to locate the road from our town. Maj. Haines is now, and always has been a staunch friend of Bainbridge. Besides the early extension of the above road, the readers of The Demo crat to-day will find that the Chatta nooga, Columbus aotfSoutltern is taking ahape. We oopy copiously from the Columbus Enquirer, and the articles •how that President McLendon ‘‘is not letting the grass grow under his feet.” He is young, able and active, and his •mag around the circle means sorne- 4h«g. The Enquirer of the 30th con tinues the subject at length, and has in terviewed the leading citizens of the plaee, and all favor the Dew enterprise. The New Road. Columbus Enquirer-Sun, 30/A. Onr article on the Chattanooga, Columbus and Florida railroad yester- day morning was very generally discuss ed daring the day, and the prospects of the new road was received with much enthusiasm. We shall continue these articles in reference to the road from time to time until our readers are given the entire connection. In our local eolumns this morning we give the opin ions as expressed by some of our most prominent business men in regard to the opening up of this new enterprise. It ohowi that the citizens of this city appreciate the importance of this road te Columbus, and we feel fully guaran teed ia making the statement that the •oterpriae will meet with the heartiest eaeooragement from onr business men. The manner in which the president of the Board of Trade proposes to take hold of it indicates that the company will meet with a strong endorsement. The Hew Railroad. Columbus Enquirer-Sun. In onr local columes this morning will be found an article giving the facts in regard to the Chattanooga, Columbus and Florida railroad. We have been watching this road for some time, but until recently have not been in posses sion of such facts as we desired to give the public. Now we have them, and from time to time will present such as will most probably be of interest. The reader can see at a glance that this road is destined to become one of the most important thoroughfares of which Georgia is possessed, and which is opened up to Florida. It is in the hands of capable and competent gen tleman who will see that it is carried to rapid completion. We have assur ances which lead us to indulge the strongest, hope that the road will reach this city within a year. If such ar rangements cannot be perfected that will insure its immediate construction, the present owners of the road will take the construction in hand and build it themselves. They do not ask aid from others, as they are prepared to undertake the work. The conversa tion which we give with the president of the road this morning indicates the benefits that this city is likely to re ceive. The president is a gentleman o*“ high business qualification^ and is re liable in each particular. When this road is completed it will only require but little effort upon the part ofCoJum- bus to reach one of the finest trades that this city possessed in years. This will then be the natural market and where Savannah now has a monopoly will prove a bonanza for those who work it up. Just here a suggestion to our board of trade will not be out of place. This road does not ask any money or any aid from the city of Columbus, but encouragement by our board of trade would have the effect of stimulating the projectors of the road, and any induce ment offered jrould have this tendency. It must have access to the city, and what Columbus may do in affording them facilities that they may require in the usual way will be alike to the interest of the city as well as the road. We are in possession of such facts as give strong confidence that the imme diate building of the road is among the realities and that it will be one of the most important lines that reach this city, none will question. It will be to the system of Florida roads what the Western and Atlantic is to the Georgia system, and the more its importance is understood the more will it be to the advantage of Columbus, which place will be the northern terminus for the present. But we shall speak of this road again. In the meantime we can but congratulate the citizens of Colum bus upon the early fruition promised of au outlet which has become a public necessity. Hew Steamers for our River. Columbus Enquirer- Sun. We learn that the Central Hue has under consideration the advisibility of having built a new steamer to ply be tween this city and Apalachicola. If built, it will be somewhat larger than the steamer G. W. Wyly, and will be better fitted up. It will be built to run during the low water period, so as to give us river transportation during all seasons of the year. The management have not fully decided on the matter, but it is quite probable that they will decide to build the boat. If so, the work will be begun in about two weeks. STILL ANOTHER. It is also said that the People’s line will have built a new boat at an early day. It will be a light draft boat, built especially for navigating the river during law stages of the water. From •rhat we can learn, it will be about the size of the G. Gunby Jordan, and will be comfortably arranged for passengers. The management have the subject un der consideration, and no doubt the work of building the steamer will be commenced ia iu a few days. Both steamers are to be built on the wharf in this city.
