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.
