• ■'&*** ®ht Jerald and ^dmrtisetg. Newnan, Ga., Friday, September 30,1887. WEEKLY CIRCULATION, 1,750. JAS. E. BROWN. Editor. The Betterments Question Again. In .July last Hon. Jos. E. Brown, President of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, addressed an open letter to < Governor Gordon in which attention was called to the approaching expiration of the lease now held by the company of which he is president, and urging some action looking to the equitable adjust ment of the claims insisted upon by the lessees for certain betterments therein .specified, etc. In that letter he stated that the lessees had expended “a very large sum of money” in the way of im provements since the road had been in their possession, and thought the State ought to agree upon a basis of settle ment by which the lessees would be re imbursed for the outlay thus made. The items of expense enumerated were for permanent improvements on the road-bed and the purchase of addition al rolling-stock—aggregating several hundred thousand dollars. The letter created a decided sensa tion at the time, and has been a prolific theme of discussion ever since, not only in our legislative halls, but from one end of the State to the other. Public meetings have been held in different portions of the State and special instructions forwarded to members of r he Legislature by their local constit uencies. Sundry and diverse opinions have been given to the public through the medium of the press, and while there has been some lack of consonance in the views thus presented, there is little doubt that the people at large are practically unanimous in opposing the claim of the lessees. There is a grow ing conviction among the more con servative class, however, that cer tain concessions would be only just and proper in arbitrating the differences involved; and yet it is scarcely possible that a final adjustment can be secured upon the basis suggested in President Brown’s letter. The Legislature, with' characteristic vacillation, has failed to take any de cisive action in the matter. Mr. Glenn introduced a resolution last week whose •purport was obviously designed to ex press the “sense” of the Legislature rel ative to the betterments question; but like many other similar measures that have originated in that body since the question was first sprung, it amounts to nothing and will accomplish nothing. The timidity of the Legislature in dealing with this important matter has emboldened President Brown to write another letter, which appeared in the Constitution last Sunday; but we can not sec that it contains much that was not embodied in his letter to Governor Gordon in July last. The following ex tracts embrace the salient points: I have had nothing to say on the question-of betterments since my letter to Governor Gordon in July last. I no tice a great deal has been said by the press and in the Legislature. I see some of the honorable members, as well as many outsiders, take the position that the'steel rail in the track is a fix ture that the lessees have no right to remove, no matter what our contract may be with the State. This is an er ror! The question of fixtures cannot apply at ail, because the express, spe cific contract makes a different provis ion. . Neither the lease act, nor the con tract, bind the lessees to return the road in any better condition than they found it. The language is that it shall be returned in as good condition as they received it. The word “condition” has an important meaning. Everything, in other words, is to be. returned as nearly in the condition it was received, as pos sible. As stated in' my former letter, the lease act provides' that “the Governor shall appoint three railroad men of ex perience, who shall examine the road and appurtenances carefully, and shall in the condition of the 'Western and At lantic Railroad at any time during the lease, or what was its condition in 1887; but the question is, what was its con dition at the commencement of the lease, and what is its condition at the termination of the lease. If it is the same at the termination that it was at the commencement, that is all that the law of the contract requires. As it is important that the people should fully understand these ques tions, I thought it would not be an in trusion for me to add this communica tion to the one previously made, and as more has been said about the track than any other one thing connected with the road, I have thought it best to quote the language of the Act of the Legislature and of the commission ers, so that the people may see that there is no pretext for saying that the State can require the leasees to return the road laicl with steel rail, when the express language of the commissioners is* that it shall be returned with iron rail of the “T” pattern, reduced by wear from the standard of eighty-eight tons to the mile, to not less than seven- tv-five tons to a mile. And let me add here, that a railroad laid with iron rail with thirteen tons to the mile worn off the top of it, is very far from being in good condition. That Ls what the State has contracted for, however, and all she is entitled to demand. That was the condition in which the lessees received the road from the State. As to the rolling stock, I do not wish to add anything, as I think no intelli gent lawyer contends that the State is entitled to any more rolling stock than the lessees received, or in any better condition than they received it. In other words, the State, having deliv ered to the lessees 071 freight cars, they are bound to return that number in as good condition as they received them; and if thev own 700 more, bought and paid for with their money, I think no one now contends that the 700 purchased and owned by them could be taken possession of by the State. . That is a question too plain tor clis-. cussion. I am making no claim for bet terments, while we have a strong claim in equity. While I have ad mitted, on all occasions, that the stat ute makes no provision binding the State to pay for betterments, and it is equally clear that the statute makes no provision that the lessees shall return the road with betterments, I am simply calling the attention of the peo ple of Georgia to the condition in which the road now is, and the condition in which it is our right to return it three years hence, at the end of the lease; and I have suggested that I thought it would be to the interest of both parties to make some equitable arrangement by which, instead of returning the road in the wretched condition in which we received it, the State would agree to pay reasonably for its iniproved condi tion and receive it back in the condition it now is. If the representatives of the people will not agree to allow anything for betterments, which-is simply a sub ject of negotiation, then the lessees will not agree to return the road with betterments. Neither is obligatory un der the strict letter of the law, or the contract. But the one is as much ob ligatory as the other. No more, no less obligatory. If the State says she will pay for ho betterments, then the company replies, we will not hold our selves bound to furnish any, But we will carry out our contract, which re quires none. The only inference to be deduced from the above is, that if the State re fuses to allow the claim of the lessees for betterments, the lessees will re move the heavy steel rail with which the road-bed is now equipped and sub stitute in lieu therfeof common iron T’ ’ rail. They will likewise remove all engines, cars, etc., purchased since the road has been in their possession. The question now is, how will they proceed in carrying out this determination, and when do they propose to begin? Will they wait until the expira tion of their lease and rely upon the Courts for a satisfactory adjudication of the question; or will they begin now, and, by a gradual process of dis- ! mantlenient, allow the road to run ! down until it approximates the contli- j tion it was in when the lessees assumed I control of the property ? If the latter course is decided upon it is doubtful if thev can be interfered with; but if an others among our older citizens. The poem, as published in the Constitution, reads as follows: the ship. BY LILLIAN BAUD. Morn on the waters, and purple and-bright Bursts on The billows the flashing: of light; O’er the glad waves like a child or the sun. See, the tall vessel goes gallantly on. Full to the breeze she unbosoms her sail, And her pennant streams onward, like hope, in the gale; The winds come around her In murmur and song. And the surges rejoice as they beat her along; See, she looks up to the golden-edged clouds, And the sallorsingsgailyaloft In theshrouds; Onward she glides, amid ripple and spray, Over the waters, away, and away. Bright as the visions of youth, ere they part. Passing away, like a dream of the heart; Who, as the beautiful pageant goes by. Music around her and sunshine on high. Pauses to think, amid glitter and glow, O, there may be hearts that are sad below. Night on the waves, and the moon is on high, Hung like a gem on the brow of the sky; Treading Its depths, in the power of her "might, And turning the clouds as they pass her to light; Look to the waters, asleep on their breast- Seems not the ship like an island of rest? Bright and alone on the shadowy main, Like a heart-cherished home on some deso late plain; Who, as she smiles in the silvery light, Spreading her wings on the bosom of night, Alone on the deep, as the moon in the skv, A phantom of beauty could deem with a sigh; Who, as he silently watches her gliding, Remembers that wave after wave is dividin Bosoms that sorrow and love could not sever! Hearts that are parted and broken forever; Or deems that he watches, afloat on the wave, The death-bed of hope, or the young spirit’s grave. ’Tis thus with our life, while it passes along, Like a vessel at sea amid sunshine and song Gaily we glide, in the gaze of the world. With streamers afloat, and with canvass un furl’d; All gladness and glory to wondering eves, Yet charter’d by sorrow, and freighted with sighs, Fading and false is the aspect it means. As the smiles we put on, just to cover our • tears; And the withering thoughts which the world cannot know Like heart-broken wanderers, lie burning be low; While the vessel drives on to that desolate shore, Where the dreams of our childhood are ban ish’d and o’er. September, 1887. R. F. Walker, Woolfolk’s attorney, claims to have found eleven witnesses who will give testimony to show that other parties, and not Tom Woolfolk, murdered the Woolfolk family. This alleged evidence is of a kind vouch safed by Jack Dubose, the Degro 'ar rested near Canton, Ga., a few days ago; but neither the ingenuity of Wool folk’s lawyer nor the trumped up evi dence of obscure witnesses can mislead the public. There is no doubt in the mind of any thoughtful person that Tom Woolfolk is the real culprit, and outraged justice will not be satisfied until he expiates his terrible crime on the gallows. The trial will take place in Macon the first week in November. ike out in writin* Shameless Plagiarism. Gov.

This is the whole extent of the obligation. If they received it with ol'd iron rail, there is nothing in the contract that prevents them from returning it in the same con dition shall do so. ***** * * In the teeth of the law as above ■quoted, and of the report of the com missioners, I am unable to see how any lawyer, who values his reputation as such, can come to the conclusion that the State can require the road to be laid in steel rail when it is returned to the State, or can require new iron rail. It can only require iron rail of the “T” pattern, with not more than 18 tons to the mile worn off the top. And what ever may be said to the contrary, he who examines the law and the report of the commissioners is obliged to come to the conclusion" that the lessees "can make changes in the track or rolling stock that they may think proper, pro dded they return the road at the end of the lease in as good condition as they received it. No particular rail on the line of a road is a fixture. Old rails are taken up and new ones put down, and rails that are partly worn are taken up in short curves and laid down on straiffhter sections of the road, and other changes of that character are made perpetually in railroading. The question, therefore, is not what was attempt is made to take up the steel rail .' and substitute inferior iron the Govern or would be" remiss in his duty, assured ly, if he did not interpose his authority to prevent it.. But, “sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” When the time for ac tion arrives we have no fears but that the State will be able to take care oi herself. The lessees have already prejudiced their case by precipitating this discussion, and they cannot hope to gain anything by prolonging it. Public opinion has already crystal lized, and the best they can do is to let the matter drop. The State of Georgia is not in a position to be coerced by a A member of the House introduced a resolution last Monday providing for an adjournment of the Legislature sine die on the 8th of October.
