Bnslneu Jin linger. of of s&f The Columbus Southern. ... It has been very generally reported that the Plant system had, by advanc ing money, obtained control of the above road. We take the follow ing from the Enquirer-Sun of the 12th inst, touching the rumor: “Captain J. W. English, general manager of the Chattahoochee Brick Company .reached the city from Atlanta last night to be present at the meeting the directors of the Columbus Southern road, which takes place to day. "Captain English was questioned reference to the rumor that the Piant system had secured a controlling inter est in the Southern by furnishing mon cy to complete the road to Albany. "Neither the Plant system or any other railroad furnished a dollar the money used in the construction the Southern,” said Captain English •“The road has never been offered tor sale: no proposition for its purchase has been received or solicited, have we ever wanted to sell the road The very emphatic denial will prob ably put an end to the paragraph going the rounds of the press in re gard to the reports sale of the road.” Speaking of the new schedule, the same paper says: “The fast schedule from Albany to Griffin, over .the Columbus Southern and Georgia Midland roads, will not go into effect until Sunday week The fast train will probably leave Alba ny at 2 p. m. and arrive at Griffin at p. m. Close connections from Flori da points will be made at Albany, and the fast train will connect at Griffin for Atlanta and all points north and east.” This will open up a new route from this section to Atlanta. The distance will be about the same as that by way of Macon. While the Cadets are jubilant and Macon is going wild over her crack company, the Atlanta Rifles are kick ing about the decision of the Judges at the Jacksonville inter-state drill The latter even charge the Judges with bribery. This is a serious charge, and the gentlemen against whom it is made should refute it, or more or less odium will attach to their action in the premises. A three times millionaire committed suicide in Chicago the other day There is probably as much excuse for a man committing suicide in Chicago as anywhere else, but it would appear, at first blush, that a man with three millions could scuffle along almost anywhere, even in wicked Chicago The man should, at least, have waited until after the World’s fair in that city. His taking off after that event would doubtless be. more gratifying—to him self. The general conference of the M. E. Church, South, will convencc in St. Louis on the 7th of May. It will be a representative body of that large and influential religious body. Unlike the Northern Methodist church, it never dabbles in politics. A Memphis man nominates John H. Inman for president. He will be known as the original Inman man. Well, John Inman would make a good president. Forty thousand democrats have been made to walk the plank since Harrison was inaugurated. And the rascals have been turned—in. Well, well, the tide will turn in ’92. The druggists of Georgia u ill meet in .Macon to day. “The Northern Society of Georgia.” This is the name of a society re cctitly organized in Atlanta, by cili zens of the State who formerly lived North. The following brief summary of its object will commend the organ ization to every Georgian and South erner : “Primarily the object of the organ ization shall be the advancement of the whole south.J 2“Here as northern men have we cast our lot and here in this society, con stituted mainly for the purpose of united act on, do we pledge ourselves to stand by the south. To accept the situation as we find it, using all our endeavors to co-operate with all citi zens of the south in up-building and developing her great resources, cuHi valing at all times for ourselves and our children that spirit ol fraternity and harmony with the men of the south that shall be mighty in its re sults here, and having its influence in every section of the land. Lastly the society will, through its efforts and discussions, enlightened by the lops experience in the south of many ol its members, be able to dissemi nate true and practical information of this southern land and spread broad cast throughout the north, and if need he around the globe, facts that shall nducc thousands to come and make their homes in this fair southland. * “Loyal to our common country loyal to the south, our adopted home an abiding faith in her people, lunch our “Northern Society,” full of hope for unbounded usefulness.” These are not the words and sen timents of carpet baggers and pro fcssional politicians. They ring out clefir and loud, proclaiming that there are good, fair minded northern men in Georgia who are here to help de- velope the resources of the South, not to malign and slander her people, It is such men as these who are wanted at the South. We have great, big, warm hearted Southern welcome for al! such, no matter what section they come from. D.
