Receivership of the S- G. & N-
A. R. R.
l’ho New nan Herald says :
“Judge Marshall J. Clarke ha* appointed
ex-Gov. H. D. McDaniel receiver of the
8avaunah, Griffin and North Alabama Rail¬
road. He has not yet announced his will¬
ingness to aocept the appointment, and
probably will not do ao until the rase is
passed upon by the Supreme Court. While
there can be no serious objection to Gov,
McDaniel, it is to be regretted that the ap¬
pointment was not given to a Newnan man.
This is the most important point on the
line, and if the management of the com.
pany’s affairs were eutrusted to any one of
half a dozen gentlemen whom we might
name the receipts of the road would be
largely incieased- On the other hand Gov.
McDaniel is inexperienced in the practical
details of railroading, and is so remotely
located that it will be simply impossible for
him to give the road that attention which
the public has « right to expect, or that the
company will demand. If Gov. McDaniel
should decline the appointment we still
hope it will fall to the lot of a Newnan man.’’
Griffin, as the terminus and principal
builder of 8 ,0 &N. A. R. R , is the most
important point on the line, and not Newnan.
And right here is the man beat qualified and
beet entitled to the receivership. What is
required, as tbe Herald says, is a person of
experience not only in railroad affairs but
Iu all the features of this railroad; and who
could betler conduct than he whose sagacity
lius iu spite of every discouragement,
plucked the road from the powerful hands
of the Central? Col, W. E. H. Hcaroy is
the gentleman who should have been ap¬
pointed reeeiver in the first instance, and if
Gov. McDaniel does not accept, then lie
should have it now.

The Southern Fall and Winter.
W* have now au opportunity to enjov the
beautiful, balmy weather ao common to ibis
clime and season. The News wishes that
ten thousand who sutler from the co d and
bitter weather of the Northwest could be
suddenly transported to this section and
given th* opportunity of experiencing the
delight* and beauties ox the Southern fall
and winter There is no question but with
greatly reduced rates to tbe South, the num
her of winter tourists will constantly in¬
crease There are hundreds of thousands of
people North who arc compelled to leave
their homes and seek Southern sunbeams.
Tbe experience of the past has been to em¬
phasize the fact that it is suicidal for any
with predisposition to pulmonary diseases
to remain in that inhospitable clime until
death takes hold of them, hut that, to pre.
serve their lives, they must come before the
ravage of disease has made an inroad ou
their health. This fact ha* tended to „end
people here to preserve health rather than
to reclaim what is lost, so the invalids are
not such a large proportion of th* Northern
visitors.
