THE GEORGIA MIDLAND.
A GrfRn Director Displaced by a Broth-
cr-In-Law ot Inman.
A meeting of the board of direc
tors of the Georgia Midland aDd
Gulf Railroad Company was held at
the office of the company in Colum
bus on Saturday. Mr. W. J, Kin
caul, of Griffin, having tendered his
resignation as a director, was sue
ceeded by Mr. J. W, Harle, of At
lanta. Hon. Seaton Grautland, of
Griffin, who has so acceptably filled
the position o’ president of the com
pany, retired from that office and
Mr. J. B. Grannie, of New York,
was elected in his place. Colonel
Grantlaud remains in the board of
directors,
Messrs. Grantlaud aud Kincaid
were seen by a News reporter yes
terday and stated that there was no
particular significance in the change;
that there had been some changes in
the stock, as in all roads after their
completion, and that the New York
stockholders desired a repivsenla
tion on the board. They said that
very soot) there would bo other
changes iu the board, but that they
hoped Georgia might always retain
live out of the nine directors.
Possibly, too, there may be llo sig
nificance in the fact that J. W. Harle,
the new director, is of Atlanta; that
he is a brother in law of John In
maD, who has always L*en inimical
to the Georgia Midland; tl at he was
himself spoken of as director of thS
Central in the very place that Inman
occupies: or that until very recently
neither he nor anybody else in At
lanta owned any stock in the Georgia
Midland. This may not be very
significant, but taken iu connection
with other circumstances, it looks
peculiar even to the most confiding.
Disregard to the’Atianta Constitu
tion’sNew York special about the re
ported attempt of the Georgia Mid
land to sell out to the East Tenues
see, Virginia and Georgia road, a
prominent official o the Midland
said to a Columbus reporter: l ' It was
the East Tennessee road that made
all the overtures to buy the Midland.
It was the question of the price and
nothing else that stopped the. nego
tiations.”
In connection with the above para
graph it may not be impertinent to
inquire if any other system has made
a higher bid than the East. Tennes
see.
The Georgia Midland and Gulf
Railroad Company has signed a con
tract turning over their telegraph
line to the Western Union Tele
graph Company. The "Western
Union, it is understood, will use
this line for their direct wire to Atlan
ta.
