THE COLUMBUS SOUTHERN.
A Letter From Treasurer Clifford B.
Grimes Giving Stitus and Prospect
of Early Completion.
The Dougherty county subscrib
ers to the stock of the Co.umbus
Southern kave not responded gen
erally to the call for their subscrip
tion, laboring under the apprehen
rien that the road would rot be
completed to Albany.
Mr.L. E. Welch. Cashicr of
the Commercial Bank, has hand
ed us the followinz letter for pub-
Jication from Mr. Clifford B. Grimes
Preasurer of the Colambus
Bothern. It gives such informa
tion and assurance as oor people
have beer anxious to receive.
. Mr Welch says that he trusis
that the subscribers, unler these
assurances, will come forward and
meet their obligations.
Corumsus, Ga., Sept. 30, 1889
Mr. L. E. Weleh, Cashier, Albany, Ga
Dear Sir: I am in receipt ot
your favor of recent date in refers
ence to your collection at A Ibany,cf
account of the Columbus Southern
Gflbl{cfi_gfion notes. 1 regret, exs
ceediugly, to hear that there isany
dispesition on the part of your poo
ple todelay the payment of these
notes, as they should uvquestions
übly be paid pron.ptly. :
Our coutractors, the Chatta
horehee Brick Company,have faith
fully earried out, up to the present
time, each and -every obligation
reating upon them in connection
with t%)e road. They have borne
the whole burden of the road
throug i s very darkest and most
nncertain moments without com
plaint and without assistance from
any source whatever. They have
done this with a loss of fully £lOO,
000 staring them in the face and at
the time when there was any ques
tion as to the ultimate completion
of the road, they did not call upon
the subscribers for one cent of their
subseriptions, althought there was
at that time fully 50 per cent. of
the notes due,according to the con~
ditions ot the said notes. Things
have now progressed to the point
where ther: isabsolutely no human
possibillity of any failue to comn':te
the road. :
-Over 60 miles of the roud is now
graged,l6 miles of the track is laid,
and the grading force and the track
forces are engage? with a!l the
energy that it is possible to be
brought to bear in pushing each
department of the work toan early
completion.
TEe iron for the entirc road has
been bought, and 60 per cent. of
it is now along the live of our
road and in our yard at Columbus.
The contract {o furnish cross
ties for the entire line has been let,
and a large proporticn of them de
livered along the line.
The trestles trom Colnmbus to
within ten miles ¢f Richland are
now about completed, and the
contract tor the erection of the
trestles between Albany and Daw
sou is in the hands of Mr. B. H.
Hood, of Dawson, and iz being
pushed forward as rapidly as is in
.
- We have bought, and paid for,
and have in our possession 5 first
class new locomotives, 40 flat cars
and 20 box cars, and the road will
certainly be completed early next
year, and will be fully equipped
and ready for business, beyond all
doubt, by the Ist ot March, 1890.
Our contractors have carricd all
this expense within themselves up |
to the present time, and until re- |
cently ‘:ave not called upon the
subscrit-ers for one cent: but they l
have now reached a point where
they assure us they need the mon
ev for these subscription notis, on
which they have counted on ecnis
lecting beyond a doubt, and a fails
ure on the part o= the suhseribers
to pay their notes promptly may
result in some embsrrassment to
the contractors, and thereby de
feat thc completion of the roud at
as early a date as they had hoped
tor. The contractors have not se~
cured one cent from the Secre-
taries of the company up to this‘
time, and only a very small per~
centage of the subscription which l
is now long past due, and I feel
that it is due them tha* all the
subscribers shoull take into cons
sideration these facts, and come
forward axd pay tbeir notes in the
same good faith that the contracs
tors huve carried out their part cf
the agreement.
We will have a good, substans
tial, well-built road, in every res
spect, and the citizens of Dougher
ty county will derive probably as
great or greater benefits from it
than avy connty through which it
runs, and ve do hope that you,
with the aid ot Col. Titt, will im
press upon your people, the ims
portance oi’ meeting their engages
ment without further delav.
We much prefer that the notes
gaould be collected through your
tank, butunless we find that vour
eollections are better within the
next few weeks than they have
been up to this time, we will of ne
cessity have to employ a collector,
and place the notes in his hauds,
with dmstructions to make a thor
ough eanvass of the eutire line, in
1&? that Letter results may
De had. Yours truly,
.. Cewr B. Grives,

A Disgraceful Statute.
Aun esteemed correspopdent asks
the Constitution if exseonfederate
soldiers can hold offical position in
the tederal nulitary service.
It is shameful fact thit an ex
contfederate, a quarter of a
century after the great civil war,
is still under the ban. During ail
this time bLis loyalty to the govern
ment goes for nothing. He has
been taxed t¢ pay pensions to fed
cral so'diers, but the nation still
refuses to recognize him. The fed
eral statute beok containe this gec
tion :
“Noperson who-has served in ths
military, naval or cival service of
the so~called confederate states, or
either of the states, in insurection
during the late rebeilion, shall be
‘appuinted to any position in the
army of the United States."
An attempt was made to repeal
this law, but the republicans de
feated it, and Senator Mahone de-,
clared that sofar as he was con
cerned this section ghould remain
in force forever.
Sometimes we talk about a foreign
war. Should we be foreed into
one, the ex-confederates would be
wanted as private soldiers, but
their ablest officers would be de
vied commissions. It issaid that
under such circumstances this in
tamous law would be repealed. But
such a tardy act of justice
would be contemptible The blot
has heen on the reeord long enough
to leave an indelible stain.
It iz all right. This deliberate
and longeontinued insult to 4 brave
people makes a respectable repub
lican party in the south an utter
impossibility. The republican party
has often been called the party of
bate. Itisalso inorder to eall 1t |
the party of folly.—Constitution. ‘

" THE INCURABLE CURED,
A Remarkable ltatement from a Well
known Citizen of South
Larolina.
Cancer is hereditary in my fami
ly, an aunt on each side having di
ed from this dreadful disease. In
each instance the cancer was locat
ed in identically the same position
that miue first made its appearance
—just below the teft eye and ex
tending down the left cheek bone
and nose. I was attended by th
hest physiciang, but the case con
tinued to grow worse under their
treatment, and no hope of a cure
could be given by them; they said:
*I had better have my aflairs for
this life and thy next arranged,
for the cancer was liable to strike
a vital organ at any moment, and
at once hleed me to death. About
this time, 1886, I met with Mr.
Shirley, living near Due West,
whose cancer was being rapidly
cured by using Switt's Specific (S.
€. 8.) I then gave up te doctors
‘and all medicine T had here to fore
bheen using, and ~ommenced tak
ing 8. 8. S., and after using the
third bottle, I discovered that the
scab had fallen off, and that those
gharp darting pains, so characteris
tic of the cancer, had ceased, and
the discharge was very profuse.
' In a few days it began to heal rap
lidly and soon dried up. By the
| time T bad exhausted the fifth bats
tle there was nothing left but thel
senr where the cancer had been.
and I wasa well man. The eur~
effeced in my case is considered
by my neighhors a most remarks
‘able cne and clearly demonstrates.
i the fact that S. 8.8. DOES CURE
CANCER. Switt’s Specific is a
boon to suffering humanity, and
all T ask is, that those afflicted with
cancer give it a trial, and like mve
self will be eonvinced of its vir
tues.” JAMES B. Ar~oLp.

DID YOU KNOW IT?
Did you know catarrh is a blood disease? Well it
almost invariably is, and frequently is a symptom
of inherited tlood poison. The tendency to catarth
may lay dormant in the system half a man's lifetime
and then suddenly become active and the disease
at once severe and troublesome,
N. C. EpwaArps, Lampassas Springs, Texas
writes: * For over four years I havae been 27. eat
sufferer froma terrible form of Nasal Catoirh, I was
greatly annoyed with aconstart ro2uing in my hoad
and my hearing became very much impaired,
The discharge from my nose Wwas profuse and
very oliensive,and miy general health
BATARRH impaired. I t~od most all prominent
physiciars, but they did not cure me,
and I used variom, advertised preparations without
benefit,
T%len sent to the drug store of T. E. Smith &
Bro., and parchased B. B. B, and to my utter
astonishment and satisfaction, the use of ten bot.
tles has restored my general health, stopped the
roaring sensation, entirely healed and cured the
nasal catarth,and ] am proud to recommend a tloed
remedy with such powerful curative properties.
i %e business men of cur town know of my case.
W. A. PEPrER Tredenia, Ala, writes: “1 can
not refrain fromtelling yov whata glo
JATARRH rious mecicine you have. For two
years my mcther has suffered witha
severe Catarrh of the Leod and ulcerated sore throat,
She resorted to various remedies without effect,
until sheused B. . B, which cured her catarrh, ans
healed her sore throut.”
*
R.C. Kixnarp & Sox, Towaligs, Ga., writes.
*Oune of our meighbors has been sufiering from
catarrh for several y cars,which resisted
cATARRH all treatment and medicine resorted to,
We finally induced him to try the
efficacy of B. 8.8., and he was soon delighted with
animprovement. He continued jts use, and wag
cured sound and well.”
