THE AMER1CPS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER; StJNDAT, OCTOBER IJ, 1891. 5 Fellow Citizens! AOianceien! iAnd Friends! Of Southwest Ga.: 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 The Next Attraction, Mixed Pickles.

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. Now you only have to refer back ili§;<*luttu[8,of.yqur paper a few days ago to get a correct understanding letter, ,4a I hive already was present atknevoeiting, and ious suggestions of one kind snd an were made by the gentlemen pres 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 ithority I ha Attheatatc anj l.thej said |o fhi, would submit tEelr pro] the understanding that I We are now pre pared to do first-class work in onr line short notioe- Especial attention given to fine watch to and jewelry repairing.

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 that I did ao, and that the mayor baa 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.

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.
