THE NEW INTERURBAN LINE .
IS CERTAIN TO BE BUILT
Both the Presidency, the Main Offices and the Power
House Likely to be Located in Griffin.
The News and Sun learned enough
in an interview with Captain W. J.
Kincaid yesterday to be satisfied that
the Atlanta, Griffin and Macon Inter-
urban Railway is a practical project
that is just as sure to materialise in
the near futuse as anything well can
be. All that has already been pub¬
lished is essentially correct and need
not be repeated, but we are permitted
in addition to give our readers a little
inside history of the inception of the
scheme and the formation of the pres¬
ent company.
We all remember the hurrah that
was made when Col. Tom Felder,
Atlanta, took an automobile ride
with a few friends to Macon, passing
through here, returning to Atlanta
the same way, called it a “prelimin¬
ary survey” and at once made appli¬
cation for a charter for an electric line
connecting the three cities. Whether
the charter was ever actually granted
is not known, but the project fell
through because hot air would not
supply the lack of money to lay the
rails and electricity to run the cars.
About the same time or a little
later, Captain Kincaid and a number
of other people bee&me interested in
a similar scheme, backed by a Flori¬
da capitalist; but be, too, failed to
make good when the time came,
money having become too tight for
! him in the New York markets.
Shortly afterward N. P. Pratt,
Atlanta, one of the active movers in
the recent company, went to New
York to see what he could do. It is
not generally known that Mr. Pratt
is a practical trolley road builder as
well as a prominent chemist, but it is
a fact that in the last few years he
has btiilt enough lines in Texas to
amass some half a million dollars.
In New York he ran across the Mr.
Harrington who Is the promoter
the big system of trolley lines that
run out of Indianapolis—the biggest

Social Democrats Try to Cast
Discredit on Parliament.
AGRARIAN TROUBLES REPORTED
Member of Black Hundred Who Par-
tielpsted In Affray of May 24 to
Waylaid and Murdered by Boole!
Revolutionists.
St. Petersburg, May 26. —Grave
news comes from the provinces, in¬
stead of acting as a sedative, the as¬
sembling of parliament has been mark¬
ed by an alarming fnc tease in revolu¬
tionary agitation and the terroristic
activity on the one band and the Black
Hundred activity on the other.
The extremists of both sides are
thus divided into two hostile camps
and both arming as If preparing for
aa inevitable civil war.

the Bleck Hundred fired 50 revolver

when a Black Hundred, wlio partici¬
pated in the affair was waylaid aad

Tke social democrats are working
#itk might and main to cost discredit
on parliament and produce aa upris¬
ing of the elemental forces. They
have already precipitated on inclpent
strike to the industrial quarters of
Moscow and at Odessa, the longshore-
men have struck. Not n single ves¬

interurban Systran in the world.
Mr. Harrington became interwted in
Mr. Pratt's project and after coming
down here and thoroughly investi¬
gating the route concluded this was
the best section In the Southern
States to inaugurate another system,
and had no trouble In securing all the
capital that was necessary among his
New York friends.
All that the New York capitalists
ask Is that ten men along the line
shall put in $10,000 each to raise the
money for the survey and such right
qf way as may not be freely granted.
These gentlemen will organise the
Georgia company to secure the char¬
ter and run the line, and the New
Yorkers will do the other $8,000,000
stunt
Griffin was offered only one of these
directors at first, but Captain Kincaid
secured the concession of three, two
have already been secured fn Ma¬
con and the other five are to be resi¬
dents of Atlanta. If there should
not be two others who care to go in
from here, no trouble is anticipated in
securing others elsewhere.
Griffin, as the central point of Im¬
portance on the line, is the natural
place for the erection of the power
r house, and likewise the main offices
of the company. And by that same
token, Captain Kincaid would become
the logical president of the road, If
he cares to accept the office.
While nothing is now looked for¬
ward to except the construction ot
this main line, which is expected to
be completed inside a couple of years,
the News and Sun, which has always
had faith in this section to forecast
its populous and prosperous ftiture,
can readily seethe ramifications that
will naturally follow, with trolley
lines radiating in different directions
from the center and the two termini
of this road, even including the long
talked of line from here to Indian
Springs.
