LETTER FROM THE HON. J. I. HALL.
His Views Upoh Public Questions
Plainly Set Fo;ih
Giuffin, Ga., May 28, 1888.
Mit. W. E. H. Searcy: : •
My Dear Sir:—Noticing that ypu
referred in an editorial in your
paper ou the 27th inst., to a convex
sation we had some time since touch
ing the disposition of the State Rail
road after the present lease expires,
I desire to state more fully what I
then 6aid on that subject, to wit:
1. That the State road should not
be sold, but should be leased after
the expiration of the present lease,
2. That no railroad company
should be connected with or be in
terested in the lease—the lessees
should be entirely independent at all
times of auy and all railroad compan
nies—so that the people of Georgia
may have the'fnlllest benefit from
an independent competing railroad
line.
3. The act of 1870, commonly
called the loose act, prescribes haw
the present lessees shall settle with
the State at the expiration of
their lease, and by the terms of thut
act the lessees should be required to
settle. The money of the State
should not be given to pay claims
for betterments which the State
has never obligated itself to pay.
The above views, I think, present
a proper disposition of the Stitte
raod question.
One other mtitter, tbongh of a dif
ferent nature, I will refer to. I do
not think we should have any iegisla
tion on the prohibition question
as tho general option law leaves it
to a county to adQpt or reject that
law, which is the only way that such
questions should be decided. I
would be willing to support persons
for Senator and Representative who
are in accord with the above.
I am very truly etc ,
J I. Hail.
The above communication appear
ed in yesterday’s Sun. The platform
laid down by Judge Hall is one that
we believe will be acceptable to ev
ery voter of Spalding county and
one in which every Democrat can
stand. It has been accepted by the
Sun, so far as the prohibition plank is
concerned, and thus any strife upon
this vexed question may be happily
obviated in this year of Democratic
harmony, and, it is to be hoped, of
Democratic success in every branch
of the government. The State road
question is very plainly and tersely
stated, and agrees with the general
8 * n * ,n, e nt not only 0 f the county but
of of the the State. State.
A good candidate on this platform
ought to command success.
Wants a Free-for-Al! Primary.
Mr. Euitok— The people cf Ibis
couDty are all interested in a Sena
tor from this district, and by prev
ious arrangements this county is en
titled to name the candidate. The
Repulicans will make no fight in the
alter. Would it not behest to re¬
fer the matter to a primary vot of
the voters of Spalding County and
let them determine whom we will
present? And if we present a good
man, no doubt the convention will
select our choice. Otherwise we may
have a scramble for the position.

A RACING CIRCUIT.
A Proposition for Macon, Atlanta, Au¬
gusta and Columbus to Consider.
Atlanta; May 27. —'The f.-’Ct this
ffcll Atlanta, August', Macon and Co
Umbus wUl have good race tracks,
suggests the idea of forming a racing
circuit. Macon haB rlready a mile
track, probably the best in the
South. Atlanta has a good half mile
track, and mile tracks are now being
built at Augusta and Columbus by
the exposition companies of these
cities. Race meeting will be held at
Gdlumbus, Macon and Augusta in
the full, N t all of which handsome
purses will be hung up. All that is
needed will bo for Atlanta to raise
some money and hold a meeting.
By the formation of a circnit the at
tendance of horses will be both
increased and improved; more horses
and a better quality of runners and
trotters will come to Georgia to con
test for the prizes. A race meeting
at once will help the meetings to
be held upon every I rack in the cir
cab. Public sentiment here seems
to be ripe for the formation of a
circuit.
Change of Schedule.
Commencing list Sunday, the
Georgia Midland baa put another
paE'enger train between Columbus
and McDonough, on the following
schedule:
Leave McDonough at 7.30 a. m.,
strive at Griffin at 8.15, leave Grif¬
fin at 8.25 and nrrhc at CoIumbu 3 at
11 . 20 .
Returning from Columbus at
4.45 p. m., arrive at Griffin at 7.45,
leave at 7.55 and arrive at McDoe-
ough at 8.40.
Toe other passenger trains are not
materially changed, though a full re
vised schedule will bo lound in anotlr
er column. The freight trains will
run triweekly, on a new schedule,
and will not carry passengers. All
passenger trains carry through coach
es to ami from Atlanta.
This nukes a very desirable sched
uie for the traveling public between
Columbus and Atlanta, and at the
same time affords much better factli
ties for the people living on each
end of the Georgia Midland road to
come into Griffin to do their trading.
This additional train ie also made
necessary to accommodate the travel
to and from Warm Springs during
the summer season, which is near at
hand.
