Bonds.
In this issue we publish a resolution
from the Populists, opposing the issu
irg of bonds for the building of the
new court house.
Of course everyone has a right to
his own opinions, but The Wkeki.y
considers the opposition to bonds un
wise. That a new court house must
be built soon, it is useless to deny; and
if the bonds are defeated, then when
ever the building of the court house is
done, it will necessitate the levying of
a tax all in one year sufficient to cover
the extra expense, which would amount
to about double taxation.
Under bonds, the court house could
be paid for with au increase of taxation
which in reality would scarcely be per
ceptible, and it seems to us the easier
plan to incur the small interest of five
per cent., to mature in easy time, rath
er than submit to a double burden all
at once. At least, we believe good
business men would sanction the ac
tion. *
The mere mention of bonds should
not frighten, as is the general rule.
There are occasions when bonds are an
advantage—and this is clearly one of
them.
The question deserves consideration
on this line, and it is our purpose to
discuss it further later on.
Give the matter mature thought be
fore casting your ballot against bonds.
One convention would be all right
if it could be held after the national
convention ; but for a state to adopt a
platform before the assembling of the
national democracy is simply ridicu
lous.
May Uutlil to Atlanta.
The Georgia Midland was sold in
Columbus last Saturday, as advertised,
and various views are entertained as to
who bought it. It was bid in by the
bondholders, but the impression pre
vailed in some quarters, that the Plant
System was the real purchaser, and it
is said that Mr. Guuby Jordan and his
associates were acting for the bond
holders who have a deal on with Mr.
Plaut. What there is in this is uncer
tain.
Some say that the Southern was the
purchaser and others have a theory
that the same parties who bought the
Marietta aud North Georgia were in
terested in this last transaction.
It is thought that souia important
developments will occur in the next
few days and throw light on the situa
tion. One gentleman who is in close
touch usually with what is going on,
said that he believed the Georgia Mid
land would be built »o Atlanta.
The Columbus Enquirer Sun of lust
Tuesday contained the following:
“About the first step iu the reorgan
ization of the Georgia Midland and
Gulf rail road will be a change of name.
The road, as has been stated iu these
columns, wi'l be extended from Me
Donougb, the preseut terminus, to At
lanta. This fact has sugested the name
which it is at preseut the intention of
the reorganization committee to adopt.
The road will be called Coiumbus and
Atlanta railroad. The c remittee
which will have in charge matters rela
ting to the reorganization aud which is
the same as repereeuted the bondholders
at the recent sale, decided while here
that this was probably the most suita
ble name aud intimated strongly that
it would be chosen. This committee
is composed of Messrs. Lancaster, Pal
mer and G. Gunby Jordan.
No active steps have been taken by
this committee, nor will they even
meet for that purpose until after the
sale has been confirmed by Judge New
man. The United States Court wa9 to
be cou-vcned bere_yesterday,but the ses
sion was postponed untd next week,
at wich time this matter will be attend
ed to.
The committee will then meet prob
ably iu Washington or in New York
and begin the work ol reorganization.”

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hail’s Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundatiou of the disease, and giving ,
the patient strength by building up the j
constitution and assisting nature iu do
ing its work. The proprietors have so !
much faith in its cut ttive powers, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for,
any case ihzt : t fails to cure. Send for

I learn that Mr. Henry Joiner and

I had the pleasure of meeting an old

A short ride with “Plow Boy” one
day last week convinces me that we
would agree better if we knew each
other better, and that ho is just the re
verse of what is said of the apostle
Paul 2 Cor. X:10. He says he is for
ever dene with politics, all sides and
every phase of which is too rotten to
handle with cleau bauds. From an iu
dividual poiut of view I dou’t kuow if
ho isn’t about right, hut somebody has
these unclean tliingß to handle.
If the number of new buildings and
the amount of building material that
dots the country traversed by the U.
B. M. line aud its branches all the way
from Rural Station to McDonough are
a result of the ruiu wrought by Clevo

good work of ruination go on. To be
sure all enlightened people will under
stand that the U. B. M. is an abbre
viation fer Uncle Billie Miller.
