most grateful acknowledgment to those 042 i lie County Better Off Than

THE TAX RETURNS.
It Was Last Year.
Not until the Telegraph appeared yes-
terdav morning did Messrs. Huff, Patter-
1 a „d Chambliss, the candidates for
inatwn, think that the county would
otherwise than a quiet, uninteresting
rimary election. The indications were
L „| a in, smooth sailing without a ripple
J interfere. First, Mr. C. 0. Balkeom
•ithdrew from the race, and on Friday
Lrnoon Mr. J. E- Schofield published
. isc ard declining to be a candidate. This
left the race entirely to the three men
named above.
But in the Telegraph was a- card
. el j "Many Citizens,” announcing Mr.
a*,,field, and saying that he had been
tnded by pretended friends. This an-
* " cement was bronght in by a respon-
“n citizen Mr. Duncan Smith. As Mr.
Schofield had publicly declined a few
hours before, the new announcement was
thought singular. Mr. Smith said he was
sntborhed to insert it, but went out to
Mr Schofield’s house to have another con
frrence with him. About midnight he re-
urned, saying he was unable to see Mr.
8 hofield, and ordered the announcement
? During Mr. Smith’s absence Mr. Pat-
Loo called at the office and requested a
Lire iu the effect that everybody should
turn out and vote the straight ticket, a*
there might be something behind the
-cenes This is mentioned because Mr.
Patterson was unjustly accused yesterday
of some connection with the affair.
WHAT IT DID.
\s might be imagined, Mr. Schofield’s
announcement spread consternation among
the candidates and their friends. Before
sunrise all sorts of rumors were afloat as to
«hv Mr. Schofield had so suddenly
-hanged his mind. The indications for a
uuiet, uninteresting election were lost in
determinations to single-shot and scratch.
Mr Huff’s friends regarded the affntr as a
means to whip Mr. Huff over Mr. Scho
field’s shoulders, and there were some bold
enough to charge Mr. Huff with Mr. Scho
field’s change of front. The complications
and accmations were various, with the bur.
d.. n on Mr. Huff’s shoulders.
When Mr. Huff came down town he
heard of the rumors and then determined
with his usual energy to get right down at
the bottom of the whole affair. He did not
-s to a»y ot the polls, hut remained away
so as to bring out all the facts. He went
with Messrs. Charles Craig and J. W.
Dunn to Mr. Schofield, at Schofield’s foun
dry, and Mr. Schofield told him he knew
nothing of the card, had not authorized it,
and stated to Messrs. Dunn and Craig that
Mr. Huff had advised him all through not
to rnn. . .
Mr. Huff their learned that the am
nouncement was carriedjto the’TKLKoiiAFH
by Mr. Duncan Smith. He rode out to
that gentleman’s house and waB told by
Mr. Smith that Mr. Schofield wrote and
authorized the publication of the announce
ment. In the meantime a committee com-
nosui of Dr. J. A. Damour, Mr. Emmett
Barnes, Mr. J. W. Dunne, Mr. Chas. Craig
and Mr. Oeo. B. Wells, visited Mr. Soho-
fild and he made the same statement to
them that he had made to Mr. Huff and
others.
WHAT MR. SCHOFIELD SAID.
Mr. Schofield then addressed a letter to
Mr. Huff which was as follows
Macon, Oa., July 21, 1888. Hon. W.
A. Huff: The statement that you called
at my house last night is untrue. Some
party or parties did call sometime between
ten and eleven o’clock and endeavored to
see me, claiming urgent buainess. I re
timed to see them and of my own knowl
edge do not know who they were. Until
you called at the shop this a. m. I had
not Been you since yesterday afternoon.
I spent last night at home and after dark
saw no one but the members of my imme
diate family. The reports is but one of
the many political tricks and is wholljr
without foundation. I am not a candi
date. Respectfully,
James. E. Sciiofif.ld,
Saturday noon.
The letter was read at the polls and
posted up, but by this time thd bulk of
Ihc voting had been done. •
In the afternoon Mr. Duncan Smith, ac-
vompanied by Mr. Q. B. Wells, went to
Mr. Schofield. He told Mr. Smith he had
h«'n expecting him, and gave him a note
><* Mr. Huff, in which he said he wrote
•omething similar to that which had ap
peared in the Telegraph. He asked Mr,
hmith if the card in the Telegraph was
Ihe same he had written the night before
*t the Edgerton Hotel, and on being told
■hat it was the same ver batim, he Bald
then he wrote it. No exp 1 'nation was
8jrwi for doing so, but repcatt . that Mr.
«un bad advised him not to run.
It was late in the day when this matter
JJ»d been straightened ou 1 , and only few
belated voters went to the polls at the
eourt house, other precincts having closed
at 3 o’clock.
WHAT MR. SMITH 8AID.
Smith Bent the following letter to
Muffin the afternoon:

The State ftond (Jiiestlon.
From the Columbus Enquirer.
The uext Legislature will make some
disposition of the State road. Whether it
will be sold, leased or managed by officers
of the State remains to be decided. This
is the greatest question that will come be
fore our Legislature. It will be one of the
greatest that ever came before any Legis-
ture of Georgia.
It is not probable that the State will
undertake to manage the road. It is very
likely that it will be sold or leased. The
members of the Legislature should investi
gate the matter aud see what is best, and
dispose of it as the interest of the State de-
ltnds.
We have seen the idea advanced, that if
the road is sold or leased, it should not be
permitted to fall into the hauds of any
competing railroad corporation. This idea
is being advocated by some men of distinc
tion. We do not remember to have seen
or heard or dreamed of anything more
absurd. This would result, in throwing
away the road for a mere song.
The idea is that if the road falls into the
hands of any competing corporation it will
be disastrous to the people—that the peo
ple would not have as good freight rates as
if it continued an independent line, or at
least not as good as if it were kept out of
the hands of competing lines. This argu
ment has little force since the railroad
commisdon settles rates. If, however, con'
solidation with any other road would raise
freight rates the effect would be only on a
limited territory, while the effect in reduc
ing the value of the road by limiting the
competition for it would injure the whole
State.
If the road is to be sold or leased let the
competition lie as wide as possible. Ev
erything that restricts it will lower the
price offered. Certainly other corpora
tions should not be hindered from compet
ing for it, for it is not likely that there
would ho many hide from svpdteuto*
formed just to purchase the road." Besides
this, it would be of more value to some
system that needed it as a connecting link
than it would be to a company owning n*
other road.
This question will probably be settled
by the next Legislature for a long time to
come, if not for all time. We hope it will
be settled on business principles,and in the
way that will make this magnificent prop
erty of most service to the people.
An Important Itallronil .Movement.
From tbs Haiti more Sun.
A dispatch from Lexington, Va., makes
mention of a rnil.oad movement in which
Baltimore has a deep interest. President
Buford, of the Virginia Western Railroad
Company, has requested the board of su
pervisors of Rockbridge county to transfer
to his company $105,000 of the bonds of
that county, being the balance of the un
paid subscription to the Valiev raiirord,
the bonds to be placed in the bands of a
trustee, to he delivered on the completion
of the Virginia Western from Lexington
to Buchanan, on the line of Botetourt
county. President Buford stated that the
Valley railroad authorities would not in
terpose any objection to the transfer, blit
would even give the right of way from
Buchanan to Lexington over their partially
constructed line. The projected road,
which would have a connection with the
Valiev division of the Baltimore and Ohio
and Richmond and Allegany railroads at
Lexington, is to run to a point on the Vir
ginia and Tennessee line in Southwestern
Virgini i, where it is to meet the Tennessee
Midland, now being rapidly constructed
between Memphis and the point of juoc-
naturally tributary to this city, and which
is rapidly developing in production and
wealth. The yielding of , the right of wny
between Lexington and 'Buchanan would
have no bad effect on the proposed exten
sion of the Valiev railroad via Roanoke or
Salem towards North Carolina, with At
lanta, Ga., as the ultimate objective point.
On the other hand, the extension to Buch
anan could be used by both roads. It is
said the Rockbridge supervisors entered an
order favorable to the proposition submit-
investigate the legal feature of the case in
respect to the validity of the transfer.
No Change In Knuilall’a Condition.
Washington, July 21.—Mr. Randall’s
condition was unmarked by any decided
change to-day.
“A Kntlier’a Advice.”

From the mountains out to the sea.

Tax Receiver Anderson makes his re
turns to the Comptroller-General about fif
teen days earlier this year than last. lie
has kept up a prodding of the taxpayers 1
until lie got them in earlier.
The returns are made out iu the Cap
tain’s usual neatndss and he will no doubt I
receive from Comptroller Wright the usu
al letter complimenting him iu high terms
upon the manner in which he makes out
and'presents his work. He is a mest faith
ful and efficient officer, and these compli
ments are worthily bestowed.
It will be seen that the increase in val
uation of the whole property is something
over two hundred thousand dollars. This
would have been increased considerably
but for the fact that the city assessments
the present year have been lessened some
what. Be this as it may, the increase is a
matter of congratulation.
