Roads Entering Atlanta Must Now
Build Separately.
ORDERS OF RAILROAD COMMISSION.
Member* of Cnmmlsiilon, Eiaprated
Over Continued Delay By the ltoad*.
Take Unexpected Action.
The union depot station for Atlanta,
Ga., has been abandoned.
Tuesday afternoon the railroad com
mission of Georgia ordered the Nash
ville, Chattanooga and St. Louis, les
sees of the Western and Atlantic to
repair the present depot or to build a
depot on the same site.
The other railroads entering the
city were ordered to build separate de
pots.
This announcement came with the
sudenness of a thunder clap to the
railroads which have for weeks and
months argued the matter with the
city and the stale, always asking for
delay and postponement until, at Tues
day's meeting in Atlanta, they declin
ed to act upon the suggestions of the
railroad commission made some weeks
ago.
There was an indifference exhibited
on the part of the roads, which doubt
less had a great deal to do with the or
der that came.
At the last meeting of the commis
sion the roads, while the commission
did not have the power to order them,
were requested to submit in writing
just what they proposed to do.
It was confidently believed that the
roads would readily acquiesce in this
request, as they had time and timo
again declared most emphatically that
they were in earnest, and every prom
ise of co-operation with the city had
been made in good faith.
At the meeting Tuesday morning
the Western and Atlantic announced
that it had no proposition in writing
to make.
The Western and Atlantic was rep
resented by Attorney J. Carroll Payne
aud Mr. C. E. Harman. Mr. Payne
said he had received a telegram from
President Thomas saying that the road
had no written proposition to make at
present.
The other roads fell into line and
each gave for their reason the fact that
the Western and Atlantic had taken no
action and that they did not care to do
auything unless that road took the
initiative.
It was the indifference and the con
tinued delay on the part of the roads
that caused Atlanta to lose the mag
nificent union passenger depot that
has been constructed so many times
on paper and in the air.
Colonel Ed Brown, chairman of the
special commission! appointed by the
legislature to take care of the state’s
interest in the railroad deal, severely
roasted the roads for what he called a
breech of their promise.
A conference was then held between
Chairman Brown and the members of
his commission, and then Chairman
Brown entered the room and declared
that his commission had washed their
hands of the matter aud had no further
suggestion to make.
The roads declared they had said all
they wished to say, and then the state
commissioners excused all who were
in the room aud then went into exec
utive session.
DentH Blow Given.
It was while the commission was in
executive session that the death blow
to the union passenger depot was
dealt.
On the outside of the room the rail
road representatives were waiting to
hear the final result.
It was not generally believed that
any positive action would be taken by
the commission. In fact, this was far
from the minds of those who had heard
the discussion.
ltoadi Given Sixty Days.
In the order issued by the commis
sion the roads are given only sixty
days in which to complete their plans
aud submit them to the commission
for approval.
The sites must also be named with
in that time and work is to begin as
soon as the commission sees proper
aud be completed under the direction
of the commission.
HELD THEIR FIRST MEETING.
Iho Florida ltallroad Commluion’i In
itial Sitting a a Court.
The Florida railroad commission sat
for the first time Tuesday afternoon as
a court in Tallahassee. The petition
of the Atlantic, Valdosta aud Western
Terminal Company to allow the rail
way to use the Jacksonville union de
pot was taken up.
This matter is extremely important,
and will be hard-fought. The power
of the commission, and probably the
constitutionality of the act creating it,
will be settled upon the final determi
nation of this case, hence vast inter
ests are involved.
APPEAL TO COTTON RAISERS.
Suggestion That a Change Be
Made In the Manner of
flarketing Crop.
In its leading editorial Sunday The
Natchez Democrat made the following
appeal to the cotton farmers:
“The time will soon arrive for the
marketing of the next cotton crop and
unless a change is made as to the
mode of doing it the same low level
of prices that was current last year
will be the inevitable result. It is a
well established fact that large port
and interior receipts during the
months of September, October and
November are the great factor in mak
ing prices, and it is in your power to
prevent this, as you have the remedy
in your own hands, which is to hold
back on your farms one-third of your
ginnage uutil after December or Jan
uary. The two-thirds will bring
nearly as much money, marketed in
this way, as the whole crop marketed
in the usual way.
“In doing this you will not be de
priving the merchants or the banks to
whom you are under obligations of
what they are justly entitled to, but
on the other hand, protecting almost
their salvation as well as your own.
“The government says the acreage
in cotton lands is S per cent less than
last year, and that the July condition
is 3 4-10 per cent less or a total depre
ciation of 11 4-10 per cent.
“Estimating the current crop at
11,200,000 bales, it means a shrinkage
of 1,277,000 bales,or acrop of 9,923,000
bales for 1898-1900.
“Notwithstanding all this and the
further fact that the cotton mills
throughout the country are making
profits ranging from 20 to 40 percent,
mighty efforts are being made to
create the impression that the crop
will be an enormous one, with the
view of getting your cotton cheap, and
it is for you to determine whether the
greedy spinner will succeed. •
“You will be assailed by the wily
speculator with all kinds of arguments
to prevent you from holding your cot
ton, but it is your only weapon and
your financial salvation depends upon
its use.
“We will keep this appeal promi
nently forward in our columns and
devote a part of each issue to earnest
ly advocate it, and we ask our associ
ates of the press and merchants and
bankers, who are equally interested
with us in building up the prosperity
of our southern country, to join and
aid us in our efforts.”
SALISBURY YIELDS POINT.
I’ropme* Joint CoininUslon To Adjust
Trouble* Jn Tintisvnal.
A London special says: The Mar
quis of Salisbury having at last broken
silence on the Transvaal question in
so decided a manner it may be expect
ed that President Krnger will hardly
be likely to refuse to listen to the gov
ernment’s new proposal for a joint
commission to examine the franchise
bill. This proposal meets varying
criticism in London. Liberals are in
clined to regard it as another instance
of the incurable tendency of the Salis
bury government to shelve every diffi
culty by referring it to a commission.
Mr. Laboucbere calls it a climb
down on Mr. Chamberlain’s part, and
undoubtedly it savora more of Salis
bury than Chamberlain. Others think
it a concession to the Transvaal's con
tention that the matter should be re
ferred to arbitration. All agree, how
ever, that it forms a practical bridge
of which Kruger can avail himself to
retire from an impossible position.
TO SELL OLD ORDNANCE.
Obsolete Ouns and Store* Will Re Placed
Upon the Market.
Obsolete ordnance and ordnance
stores at sea coast forts in the depart
ment of the gulf, which have accumu
lated to such an extent as to be an in
cumbrance, will shortly be put upon
the market and sold.
According to an order issued by
General Frauk, commanding the de
partment, the commanding officers at
these forts will at once cause inventory
and inspection reports to be prepared
and forwarded to the headquarters for
the action of the inspector.
The action of the inspector, it is
stated, will be to put the gnus and
other ordnance on sale. Cities on the
lookout for park and cemetery decora
tions will in this way be given an op
portunity to purchase such implements
of warfare as may be desired.
WILL NOT OPEN GRAVE.
Insurance Company Swn* Satisfied That
Chase Is Iteally Dead.
A special from Bristol, Tenn.,states
that the attorneys for the insurance
company in the case wherein the death
of Thomas Chase, who held a policy
of $27,000 and whose death has been
brought in question, have abandoned
the idea of opening the grave in which
Chase is alleged to have been buried at
Milligan, Tenn.
President Hopwood, of Milligan
college, makes a statement that Chase
is surely dead and that the dead body
was seen by no less than fifty people
who were intimately acquainted with
him aud that there could not possibly
be any mistake as to his death.
SOMETIMES when you have
lame back and feel poorly,
you stop working for the day.
But all you do is take the rest
and go right to work again when
the symptoms quiet down. That
is no way to head off a terrible
disease that is fastening its grip
upon you. Stop the first leak or
you lose the ship.
