G. W. CLARK & SON. 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. Old Salt. Rood’s Sarsaparilla Is peculiar to iteelf and superior to all other preparations in strens Kfth, economy, and medicinal merit, d) 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. ^ 4 KIH c POWDER Absolutely Pure.
