YERDICT FOR PLAINTIFF-
The Result of the Thurmond-Johnson
Trial.
The Thurmond-Johnson slander suit
came to a dose yesterday morning
when the verdict was reached by the
jury.
When the jury retired the night be
fore speculation was rife as to the re
mit and predictions were heard on
both sides.
A11 night long the jury wrestled with
the ease without coming to a decision
and yesterday morning it began to
look as if a mistrial would result.
At 11 o’olook, however, the jury filed
into the room and notified the court
that a verdict bad been reached.
Both sides waived tbe poll of the jury
and Judge Erwin rioaived the verdiot.
It read:
“We the jury find ’for the plaintiffs
ten dollars and costs of suit.
H. C- Conway, Foreman ”
The oase will not be appealed by
either aide, and it will probably rest
where the verdict of tbe jury places it.
TSLCU THE OTHER BID*.
Concerning the statement in yester
day’©. issue of the Banner that ail the
farmers of that seotion -would rather
see Mrs. Thurmond win her case than
to get ten cents a pound for their cot
ton, a gentleman yesterday said that
inch was not true and that sentiment
was-largely divided among different
factors, and justice to Mr. and Mrs
Johnson demanded the contradiction of
that statement.
One of the best citizens of Winter-
vllle said yesterday that while there was
some difference .of opinion among the
people in regard to the case all agreed
that it was an unfortunate affiir.
The hope is expressed on all sides
that with the verdiot of the jury all
differences may be healed.

rather startling proposition embodied
in the bill of Representative Osborne,
cf Chatham, for the State to become,
the purchaser of the Central railroad,
was the subject of considerable specu
lation at the St&tehouse yesterday. The'
bill provides for an amendment to the
oonstitntionto be submitted to the peo
ple at the next general election. Last
evening a reporter called on Mr. Os
borne and requested his reasons for in
troducing tbe bill.
Mr. Osborne said there were several
reasons, each one of whioh was to his
mind vital.
“In the first plaoe,” he said, “the
State already owns a line of railroad
extending from Chattanooga on the
Tennessee river to Atlanta, which is in
complete and unprotected against hos
tile combinations withont a conneoting
Une to the sea. It has not been very
long since the bnsiness of the Western
and Atlantic railroad was seriously
jeopardized on acoount of the want of
connections at Atlanta for the seaoo&st
Fortunately the building of the Geor
gia, Carolina and Northern raili oid to
Atlanta at that time relieved the situ
ation to a great extent. It is entirely
possible for the other railroads enter
ing Atlanta from the east and south to
bottle up the State road so as to serious
ly interfere with its bnsiness and itB
profits. If the State owned the Cen
tral railroad this would be impossible.
-It would then own a railroad properly
fortified by water connections at both
ends, and it would be impregnable. No
railroad man will hesitate to tell yon
that any private corporation owning
the Western and Atlantic railroad
would want to own the Central rail
road.”
“Tun think, then, that at the end of
the present lease of the State road it
will be in the power of the other rail
roads entering Atlanta to combine and
foroe the State to submit to their terms
in renewing their lease?”
“I have no donbt of it, and I believe
there was danger of it before, but as I
said just now, the- Georgia, Carolina
and Northern railroad entered the field
and protected the State road.
There is another reason, too, why
the State should own the Central, rail
road. It is now, as is well known, in
the hands of a receiver antf some time
within the next year or two it will be
sold, probably to the highest bidder.
CnlesB the State can make * bid, there
will be no bid made from Georgia or by
Georgians. The only bidder will be
some combination of capitalists from
ontsidethe Stole. Oar people are too
poor to organize a company in Geor
gia, to bid for so large a property. It
will go absolutely into tbe hands of
outsiders, without a bid from,Georgians.
The importance of this cannot be over
estimated. Those who belittle or donbt
it now, will wake up very soon after
ontside owners get possession of this
great highway of the State.”
“Do you think it will be operated in
favor of outside interests?”
ho can donbt it ? Tbe purchasers
will bay it for the purpose of asine it
to advance their own interests. Their
1 nterests elsewhere ontside of Georgia
will be protected first at the expense of
Georgia and Its lines. They would be
either more or less than human if they
did not. n ,
“I think, too, that if the state owned
the Central railroad and the Western
and Atlantiobotb, they could be leased
together as one continuous line much
more advantageously than they can be
separately. It is my deliberate judge
ment that they can be leased by the
state, together as one continuous line,
for enough money to reduce taxation
appreciably and benefit the people' in
this way.
“There is another thing; when we
look at the satisfactory results in the
oase of the State road, owned by the
8tate^and then-look rpund and see the
almost universal wreck,and bankruptcy
of all the other railroads in Georgia
owned by private corporations, the con
trast is strikingly in favor of owne:-
ship by the slate... ....... '
“However, this bill of mine provides,
of course, as all such bills do, for the
submission to the people. There can
certainly be no harm in giving the per«
pie of Georgia a chance to say .whether
they prefer to have this gTeatr highway
in their own control.”
“What abont time though? Will it
be given for your amendment to go
through?”
“I think so. The sale has already
been postponed until April next, with
every prospeot of further postponeme t
