Peacock. mild and ale by J. 1) OS l s 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. Merchant. 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.
