A Card From Hr. Kennj.
Editob Tuces-Becobdkb: While mak
ing a call tbl* evening at the offloe of
Tan TiMEs-RncoBDEB, and while en
gaged In dlMuuing railroad matter*
with Capt Myrlclc, Mr. Speer of this
city called.
Capt. Myrick ■ Immediately arode, and
not being aware that I had ever mqt the
gentleman, started to introduce us, at
the tame time remarking that I repre
sented the street railroad.
Mr. Speer had In hU hand a paper
which he tossed, with' some emphasis,
upon Capt. Myrlck’s desk, accompanying
the sot with the words “Tea, and that
represents the other side, and I want
yon to publish it.” He then turned and
started to walk out.
Having in mlna that Hr. Speer had re
fused to oontrlbnte toward helping stsit
the road, I was naturally a little carious
to know what his words were meantjto
Imply; and I requested of him an ex
planation.
He informed me that his explanation
was contained tn the paper which had
just passed from his hands, I then
asked him If he would allow me to read
it. He thereupon turned* about, picked
up the paper, sat down and read the
same aloud.
The people who own and control this
railroad have something at stake here,
and I saw at once that a great Injustice
was being done them and also myself
personally, and I Informed Mr. Speer
that the statements he read were Incor
rect, and that should they in any way
militate against or work to the disad
vantage or Injury of this property the
owners thereof would hold him respon
sible.
I explained to him, in the first place,
that his statement that I bad called
meeting of citizens upon the railroad
matter was incorrect ; a meeting

had been called, but that It was made
through Mayor Felder and on his own
responsibility. I, of coarse, was very
glad to meet with the gentlemen, and
did so.
In the second place I stated
Mr. Speer that hit statement that I bad
made a proposition to that meeting
operate tbe rood if they would guaran
tee ttmsum of $2,000 a year for five
years was absolutely, without 'founda
tion.

was present atknevoeiting, and
ious suggestions of one kind snd an

t, ahd finally a motion woe made snd
carried to appolnta committee.
The meeting' then adjourned and
Aortly after ft meeting of that commit
tee was held atwbloh I was not present.
I was sent for, however, by the com
mittee, snd appeared before them, and
then for tbe first time they made the
proposition offering to guarantee the
■ale In tickets of |2,000 a year for five
years.
I suggested to them that we let the
matter stand ovsr until 6 o’clock of that
same day, When I would meet with them
again and Inform them whether or not I
would recommend their proposition, as
it wap understood that that was

had been Informed by me that auch was
not the fact.
I put Mr. Speer on notice before Capt
Myrick, ‘and before hla statement was
published’ that I should hold him re
sponsible on behalf of the owner*.
Mr. Speer nlao states that the guaran
tee was subscribed and I went my way
Intimating by this- that I had raised tbe
necessary amopnt. Doea not Mr. Speer
know that before going I published Id
your paper a notice that I had left my
subscription paper at tbe mayor’s offloe,
and called for a sufficient amount to : jus
tify my parties to begin operations.
Everybody who read the ,paper knpw

has been stnoe engaged in trying to raise
Is this a fair statement to" publish?
I returned here from Macon, where
bad been on Important business, to get
the result of Mayor Felder 1 * work, and
this fact cannot be disputed even by Mr.
Speer. He, as I have already said, has
not subscribed a dollar to put the road
in operation. He talks about our guar
antee. Well, for starting the railroad
itarting of the |cars will be onr guar
anty when the proper amount is raised.
We are not asking for stock subscrip
tions, but a guarantee of patronage in
writing.
The cost of running this road Is going
be very large the first year, and Mayor
Felder wishing to make it an assured
sneeess, and wishing also to be able to
wlr* the owner that more money had
been raised In order to make the accep
tanco of the proposition more probable,
undertook, and la now endeavoring to
raise $1,500 additional.

I would Uke to add to my statement
above made that In the conversation re
ferred to between Major Speer and my
self In presence of Capt. Myrick at yonr
office this evening, Major Speer stated
that he wanted the railroad taken out,
and wanted to forget that it was evsr in.
In justice, however, to Major Speer,
when I told him I should publish his
statement, he said that he wished It un
derstood only in the sense that he want-
it taken out and wanted to forget
thntit'was ever in, In the event of Its
being run as outlined and described In
recent publications.
