GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 5, 1906.
IlNTERURBAN RAILWAY
WILL NOT BE USED BY L. & N.
Reports of Atlanta Papers Are Vigorously Denied bj
Griffin Stock Holders.
According to the Atlanta newspa¬
pers, which during the heat of the
present gubernatoral campaign have
been somewhat shy of accuracy,
the Atlanta, Macon and Griffiu In-
terurban railway may develop into a
steam railroad. An Atlanta pajx'r
makes the following announcement
which is uews to the stockholders:
“A rumor impossible to coniirm
but persistent has become current
that the Louisville and Nashville
railroad and the Atlantic Coast lane
are watching with considerable inter¬
est the surveyiand construction of the
Atlanta, Griffin and Macon interur-
ban electric line between Atlanta and
Macon. It has been suggested that
this line, incorporated as a trolley
line, might be used to make ,a con¬
nection between the Louisville and
Nashville railroad and the coast, and
might be converted, once all the
franchises and the right-of-way are
secured, into a steam, instead of an
electric line.
‘•The Atlantic Coast Line owns a
majority of stock in the Louisville
and Nashville railroad. The Atlantic
Coast Line has also bought the Macon,
Doublin and Savannah railroad, a
line running from Macon to Vidalia,
the latter point on the Atlantic Coast
Line. The Macon Loublin and 8avan-
mah line does not go into Savannah
directly, but by some arrangement,
probably by a traffic arrangement,
with the Seaboard Air Line, goes
into Savannah.”

DEEP'CRUELTY IS
SHOWN AT GAMPS
Witness In Peonage Case Weak
And Exhausted.
WAS INHUMANELY TREATED.
Investigations Are Concluded and
Three Men Are Held Under Heavy
Bond for Trial In the United 8tates
Court.
Pensacola, Fla., Aug. 4.—The inves¬
tigation of peonage and -slavery condi¬
tions at the Jackson Lumber cupipa-
ny camps, at Lockhart, by the United
States court commissioner was begun
Friday and concluded Friday night,
and resulted ln the unearthing of a
terrible state of affairs, If the state¬
ments of the witnesses told upon the
stand are true.
Three men are held for trial under
heavy bond. They are Lent. Gallagher,
Superintendent W. N. Grace and Os¬
car S. Dander, the two latter also em¬
ployes of the company. Many wit¬
nesses were examined and all testified
directly or indirectly as to how men
had been beaten and Ill-treated at the
camps.
The climax came when Manuel Jar-
demsi, a foreigner who had been
brought from New York with others,
was placed on the stand. So weak and
exhausted that he could scarcely hold
himself in a seat, suffering from bruis¬
es over the body and burning up with
* lever, he told his s.ory. Hi- had
been beaten with whips, struck ln the
face with clenched fists, and kicked
ln the abdomen and lower portions of
the body. He could not speak Eng¬
lish, but pointed out Gallagher In the
court room as the man who had in¬
flicted most of the punishment. His
story was told through, an Interpre¬
ter. and so pitiful was his condition
that when he concluded and could
hardly leave the court room, a purse
was taken up to place him in a hospit¬
al and give him proper treatment.
Frequently during the time he was
on the stand he would place his hands
upon hl» stomach an.l through Ids In¬
terpreter signify that he was In pain
from the kicks he had received.
Mr*. Mary Paul Jones and Mrs. Gib¬
son, ladles living near Laurel Hill, saw
the men overtake a foreigner near
their houses with bounds, and wh#<
hoe held him under cover with a re
volver, another beat him unmercifully
with a whip.
of money he has Invested in the en¬
terprise, denied positively the report
of the Atlanta paper.
“Its Just a newspaper story, the
incorporators know nothingaboutit”
Hon. W. A. Wimbish, of Atlanta,
another member of the executive
committee, stated:
“The Louisville and Nashville rail¬
road,” he said, “has never made us
any proposition, directly or indi¬
rectly, for our right of way. There
is alwolutely nothing in the rumor.”
The incorporators believe tfcat the
road wili develop ip to a trying prop¬
osition and evidently it is the inten¬
tion of the four promoters of this city
to prosecute the original plans.
Trouble in Macon.
A dispatch from Macon to the
same Atlanta paper, gives the follow¬
ing interesting points that are it is
alleged, being raised in that city:
There is great dissension among
the members of the city council of
Macon over what terms to grant to
the Atlant, Griffin and Macon Inter¬
urbian line, which has applied for a
franchise over the streets of the city.
When the committee makes its report
at the meeting of the council next
Tuesday night there will bea majority
and a minority report.
The majority report will recom¬
mend that only a tax of $10.00 per
car a year, based on the running of
fifty cars into the city be charged,
while the minority report will ask
for fully $100 a car a year, on the
ground that the drays in Macon are
charged $10 a year license, and won’t
do one-ninetieth the business of the
street cars.
The people of Macon, while they
favor the coming of the new line very
much, are not willing to give up the
streets of the city for the sum of $600
a year.
It is likely that the council will
grant the franchise with a much
higher tax than $10 a year, with the
revision that the franchise shall not
Ijc valid until tracks are laid and cars
ara run.
This provision will be added to
prevent any speculation in the rail¬
road situation.
