A correspondent writes to the Teleoraisi
as follows;
1 ftehsd up a circular on th# deck ot the ticket
It will be remembered that the Trle-
grafh never bad any confidence in the
building of a road from Macon
to Covington. Much as
desired to see Covington connected-
directly with Macon, it was plain that there
waa no inducement to capitalists to put
money in such an enterprise. The idea
that any line looking to connection with
the Richmond and Danville system would
be built from Maoon by way of Covington
was preposterous, for tho reason that a
cheaper and shorter route waa offered to
Athens, to which point the Rich
mond and Danville already has a connec
tion over the Northeastern road; which it
controls,
A good deal of drivel was indulged at the
time the people of Macon were first asked
for subscriptions to the Macon and Coving
ton, tonohing the intentions of Full River
mill owners of building a road from
Macon to- Covington for the pur
pose of- developing the wator power
upon its line, so that they could move their
machinery from Fall River to said power.
There may have been a few people who
were silly enough to have believed this
stuff.
The Telegram was not to be deceived
by such preposterous representations, and
at once determined tbat it would be unsafe
to commend to its readers an undeataking
based upon such foolish representations.
We then believed, and so stated, that
this road would be built to Athens, if
built at all. And, furthermore, that it
would never be built unless the Richmond
aud Danville took hold of it. Some of
our friends here and elsowhere mistook our
refusal to indorse the reputed plan, of Fall
River mill owners to get cheap water
power by building a line of road
which would not develop pow
er to any extent, as opposition
tho Macon and Covington. We were
never opposed to the road. On the con
trary we desired to see it built. We had no
confidence in the representations to which
we have alluded, and henee we declined to
advise onr reader* to put money into the
sebemo while it rosted upon this bssis.
We believe now that the road will bo
built. We can see why the Richmond aud
Danville desires to get into Macon.
It is quite probable, we think, that tho
line will be continued to Florida by the
route proposed by tie late Colonel Lane.
In ail this Muoon is to he benefited. Now
we shall expeet some definite action from
the Richmond and Danville Company look
ing to completion of the lino from hero to
Athens.
The people of Macon will hail with joy
the completion of this work. Why should
they not? At present we are compelled to
go to Atlunta- or Savannah before we can
start to New York, unless we consent to
spend a day traveling ouo hundred and
twenty-five mile* from here to Auguita.
The authoritw* of the Georgia and
the Central railroad* confe** that they ue
unable to give ns prompt passenger service
to the East via Auguita. More than this,
much of our New York mail cornea to ua by
way of Jssnp. It goes down the coast
lino to within a few mile* of Florid* and
comes back to Macon, reaching here from
two to live honra in advance of mail from
same point* coming by way of Augusta, Sa
vannah or Atlanta over the Central system.
Th* Air Liue, when it reaches Maoun
over its own road from Athena to this point,
will doubtless be able to do bettor by ns,
and the completion of the road from Macon
to Athens will be worth * great deal more
to thia city than the total subscriptions of
onr people to the Macon and Covington
toad.
By all means let every man in Macon
assist to hi* uttermost ability in forward
ing the work npon this road. We are
suffering greatly from the tardy passenger
and mail service of the present and the
only hope of relief is from the Richmond
and Danville.
