Editor Times-Enterprise:
It oocurs to me that the citizens
-of our town, as tax payers, have
been sleeping over their rights in
not having the oily own her own
electric light plant. The city is
now paying put approximately
$4000.00 a year for lights and
this amount will be increasing
each year as the city grows. What
ever the amount is. it must be
raised directly from the tax pay
ers, aud from it no returns will
ever be had except the lights that
are used.
It can be readily seen that 1 the
city could issue bonds sufficient to
either buy out the present eleciric
plant or put iu n new one say to
the amount of $40,000.00 (which
ib extremely large) and the inter
est on these bonds til 5 (ter cent,
would only be .$2000.00 a year.
If they used $2000.00 of the
amount they are now pnying for
lights for paying tile interest on
the bonds, and used the other
$2000.00 for retiring the bonds,
they would I ben have the entire
income paid for lights by all tho
individuals and corporations in
the city. Now the amounL^to be
derived from this source at the
prices noV being charged, would
be very nearly double the auiount
of running expenses of the plant
if we could have it operated as
economically as the town of Quit-
mru operates its own plant. Judg-
‘ ing by the record of the chairman
^ of the water committee for the
past year',! would judge that the
present management of the water
works could operate the two iu
connection at. a miiiimum cost- of
any city in the state. Now sup
posing that the oity rlibuld own it
and the running expenses cost us
no moro than it does Quitman,
the town would have almoBtono
half of the income derived from all
individuate and corporation* in
the city to pay towards retiring
the bond*, should they charge the
same rates that they are non-
being charged for lights.
Now with about. Imlf tho income
for lights from all sources except
itsolf and with the #2000.00 they
would have left from paying in
terest on the bonds, tho town
would own its own plant in a few
years and the tax payers would
have at leaat $4000.00 a year less
-to raise as taxes, the city could
be much better lighted, and the
consumers of lights could got
lights at a price that would prob
ably cost less than kerosene oil
now oosts them. In justice to our
selves let us sleep uo longer over
our rights in the matter.

BY SPECIAL TRAIN.
Mr. John Masury Chartered A. C. L
Train to. Go to Drifton to Moot
Friends.
Mr. Johu Masury chartered un
A. C. h. Train Friday afternoon
to go down to Drifton, a little sta
tion on the Seaboard Air Line
below Mohticello, to meet some
New York friends, who had been
nown in Florida.
- The special consisted of a day
coach and engine No, 75. Trav
eling Passenger Agent T. J. Bot
toms was on the special and
Mr. and Mrs. Sturges accom
panied Mr. Masury. The trip to
Drifton occupied 00 minutes aud
the return trip was made in about'
the same.
Construction ’and bridge work
on the Const Line is practically at
a standstill. The foreman at
Thomaaville'have struck, and it is
claimed that eve-y foremnh in' the
Thomusville district aud moat of
those over tha entire road have
quit work.
Tho section foremen aod the
white employes under them,'the
bridge builders, and all men con
nected with the road maintenance
are organized ns as the Order of
Maintenance cf Way Employes.
The union men any that 98 per
cent of the employes of the CoaBt
Line in this work are members of
tile order.
Jno. T. Wilson, of SI. Louis is
president and it is from him
that strike orders have issued.
In joining the order every mao
obligates himself to oliey the or
ders of the president, and so it is
that fltoy have to go out, whether
the phm strikes them favorably
or not.
M. M. Knight is president of
tho Thomaaville lodge" of the or
der, and it has some 75 members.
Mr. Knight was a member of the
committee which waited on the
Coast' Line officials, asking the
adoption of a graduated scale of
wages for the maintenance men.
As the case stands now, they are
all paid about $1.84 per day of ten
hours. ' ‘
Only about a year ago differ
ences catne up with regard to the
status of the road men aud the
hours'of seven to five in the win
ter and six to six in tho summer
were agreed upon. The employes
claim that these hour* apply to
tliu time for going ou the road
nud coming off,
It sometimes takes ns much as
un hour or so to get. their hand-
car to the point of work. The
road is iocliued to hold that the
hours apply to actual work.
The union men say that -they
offered to arbitrate the differences
or to leave them entirely to the
governors of the several states
through which the Coast Line
runs. They say that their re
quests were refused iu toto'Htid
that a strike wu's their last re
sort.
The A. C. L. officials have is*
sued a circular iuformiog- the
strikers that they ipust returu to
work by the 10th or vacate the
road’s houses, in which event they
say they will have uo difficulty
in supplying the vacancies.
The strike putt out of employ
ment a considerable number of
men, in as much as there is one
foremau to every eight miles of
track, beside many doable# and
hu"drede of bridge builders and
pump men- The'strikers claim
hat considerably more than 5000
arc out.
