$Ji$ Herald ami ^dcytisy. Newnan, Ga., Friday, May 18, 1888. WEEKLY CIRCULATION, 1,75^. JAS. E. BROWN, Epitor. From, Newnan to Greenville. The Columbus Enquirer-Sun of the 14th inst. contains an interview with Gen. E. P. Alexander, President of the Central Railroad, upon a subject of in terest and importance to our commu nity, which is published in full below: General Alexander, Major Belknap and other officials ot the Central Rail road reached this city yesterday morn- Iit<r At 11 o’clock the party went up < he Columbus and Rome road and re turned at 5 in the afternoon. A representative of the Enmarer-bnn called upon General Alexander at his special car last night and had a pleas ant talk with him about railroad mat ters. In the course of conversation the reporter learned that General Alexan der contemplated forming a new com- panv, to be composed of the Columbus and Western, the Savannah and Col umbus, the Buena Vista and Ellaville, the East Alabama, the Columbus and Home, the road from Ozark to Lutau- Ia, the new road from Americas to_Sa vannah, and a new line from Americus to Eufaula. The Central owns these roads, and they will be united and known as one road. 1 he name has not yet been determined upon, but it is likely to be called the Tinted Rail ways This svstem, when complete, will embody at least 800 miles of first-class road. This new system will contain 337 miles of road already com plete, and divided as follows: Colum bus and Western, 100; East Alabama, 37; Columbus and Rome, 50; Buena Vista and Ellaville, 30; Eulaula and Ozark, 60; making the total above stat ed. The roads and extensions project ed are as follows: From Americus to Savannah, 180 miles; branch from the Columbus and Western to Murphy s Valiev forty miles; extension of the East Alabama road, thirty miles; ex tension of the Columbus and Rome road to Newnan, twenty-five miles; ex tension of the Eufaula and Ozark road to some point in Southeast Alabama, J00 miles; branch to Dublin from some point on the new road from Americus to Savannah, forty miles; extension of the Buena Vista road to Columbus, thirty-five miles. This movement maps out an immense amount of work, yet Gen. Alexander is confident that all of the projects will be carried out. “When will the new road from Col umbus to Savannah be completed, Gen eral ?” asked the reporter. “I am not prepared to say, was the reply. “Mr. Raoul said the extension to Birmingham would be completed last September, but you see it has not been finished yet. I will say tins much, however, the work will be push ed as rapidly as possible. We need the Buena Vista extension now, and that will he made first.” ^ “How about the report that the Cen tral and the Columbus Southern would arrange to lay a double track for fif teen miles out from Columbus V ’ asked the reporter. “Such an arrangement was contem plated, but there seems to be some hitch in the consummation of the agree ment, We prefer to come in on our own right, of way. This matter will not be definitely settled, however un til all of the surveys and estimates have been sent in.” . One of the most important projects of the Central is the extension^ of the Columbus and Rome road to Newnan. This is now a narrow gauge road, but will he made a broad gauge. Gen. Al exander said, however, that the gauge would not be changed at once, as there are other matters of importance to be attended to just now. The extension of the Columbus and Rome road from Greenville to Newnan has been regarded by our people with constant hopefulness for several years, and at no time lias the importance of the enterprise been underestimated. Indeed, it has been a matter of surprise that the Central road, which controls both the Columbus and Rome and the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama roads, (neither of which is of much importance as now operated,) should have delayed so long in bringing the two lines together. This indifEerence may be explained in part by the fact that while the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama road is controlled and virtually owned by the Central, yet it has not acquired actual ownership qf the property. It was the furtherance of this extension scheme that prompt ed the Central authorities, four or five months ago, to institute proceedings looking to the foreclosure of its mort gage on the S., G. and N. A. property; and, while temporarily enjoined by the minority stockholders from carrying this purpose into effect, it is not likely that proceedings can be much longer delayed. When actual ownership is acquired, there will be no further hin- derance to the consummation of the plan outlined above, and consequently but little doubt as to the early comple tion of the link between Newnan and Greenville. The Chattanooga, Rome and Colum bus road will be completed to Carroll ton by July 1st, and it is understood that the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama and the Columbus and Rome will he united at Newnan and utilized by the first-named road as its Golum bus extension. The early completion of the Chattanooga, Rome and Colum bus to Carrollton, therefore, encourages the belief that work will soon be com menced on the Columbus and Rome extension. Gen. Alexander himself ad mits that “one of the most important projects of the Central is the extension of the Columbus and Rome to New nan;” and this official utterance, when taken in connection with all the cir cumstances, clearly implies the urgen cy and importance of the contemplated connection. The distance from Newnan to Green ville is twenty-five miles, and the- choice of routes probably lies between Lutherville and a parallel line about j two miles east of that place. Both routes are said to possess advantages, is but though there little difference in distance. If there should be any new develop ments we will keep our readers posted. Board of Visitors to the State Uni. versity. Governor Gordon has appointed Rev. G. II. Carthedge of Banks county, W- H. Barrett of Augusta, C. B. Chap man of Macon, Lyman II. Ford of Newnan, and Malcolm Johnston of Atlanta, as a special board of visitors to attend the examinations of the Lni- versity of Georgia, preceding the annu al commencement, and to examine per sonally into the condition and manage ment of said institution, etc. Under an act of the last Legislature the board is now composed of five in stead of ten members, and they must be experienced educators. As the State appropriation of $8,000 has been withdrawn from the Atlanta Universi- ( ty, on account of its failure to comply with the resolution of the last Legisla ture prohibiting the co-education of the races in this State, that institution will not be included in the round of official visitation. In view of his brief residence in the State, the appointment of Prof. Lyman II. Ford, of this city, is a distinguished compliment to that gentleman, and a recognition of his ability and fitness for the position that is extremely gratify ing to his friendi here. He will doubt less be made chairman of the board. WARNER’S SAFE CURE.

SAVANNAn, Ga., Jan. 9, 1887.—“Warner’s Safe Remedies” deserve all the praise claimed. I speak from experience, having at several times had occasion to prove their efficacy. CURES CONSTIPATION. Bet.IjTON, Ga., Dec., 18, 1887. - “Warner’s Safe Cure” is a most valuabe medicine. I have used it with great benefit to myself. Communicated. A Correction. Mr. Editor : — Your correspondent from Senoia, “Vincent,” being only a hear.sav witness, was not able to give a fair representation of what, occurred at the Methodist church. Being an ear and eye witness of these things, I wish for justice sake to make a few correc tions. First—the meeting of several riavs was very interesting to those who attended, and the congregations were good day and night, although it was a very busy time with the farmers. Mr. Stipe preached strongly against mod ern dancing on account of its corrupt tendencies, but took particular pains to state that there were chaste people that danced. In reply to the argument that dancing “in itself” was harmless, lie said that such dancing would not last long. He preached against danc ing “on principle,” just as “Vincent” opposes it on principle in his corres pondence. Mr. Stipe did not dispute a man’s legal right or privilege to dance, but it is hard to see how a man can oppose a thing on principle and admit liis moral right to do that thing. There are some people here who see no harm in dancing and who are in danger for that very reason—hence the ne cessity of showing the harm; but Mr. Stipe has not attempted to use physi cal force to open their eyes and cause them to desist, but has used argument instead. His sermon was altogether argumentative. Mr. Stipe was not in the least responsible for the “fracas” on the street. A citizen who had been trying to get up a dance was angry be cause Mr. Stipe opposed dancing on the ground of its corrupt tendency, and was saying many things up and down the street, and when another man de fended the sermon, he was seized by the beard, an open knife drawn upon him and greatly abused. All Mr. Stipe did was to preach against dancing, us ing the usual arguments. It is also but just to say that his whole church in Senoia are unanimously and heartily with him, and the good people of the various denominations, with tew excep tions, are thankful for his timely ser mon. It is not necessary, so far as this community is concerned, for these cor rections to be made, but justice to Mr. Stipe demands it where The Herald and Advertiser is read in other places. Veritas. Senoia, Ga., May 14th. High Tariff Samuel J. Randall Com and Cotton. Mr. Editor:—I thought I would let you know something of the above va rieties of crops on my farm. The corn stands four feet high, with a deep, black-green color, and the cotton over 12 inches with two or three squares to the stalk. Are there any Cleveland va rieties in north Coweta that can beat it ? Our protective tariff wheat seems to be trying to outstrip all free trade competitors. Think of it, Mr. Editor. Cotton over one foot high and corn over four feet on the 16th day of May in old Coweta, with such a dry, close sea son as has prevailed for the last month Benj. Leigh.

SCROGGIN, West Side Public Square, Newnan, Ga. Norcboss, Ga., Jan., 19, 1888.—About live years ago I was taken with a rising and a thumping and at times a quick beating of the heart, so fast that I could not count the beat'. 1 had ailull.mimb feeling between my should ers, and a pain in the small of my back. I found temporary relief by taking some sim ple treatment, but nothing permanent. The spells kept increasing in number and severity until I was suffering all the lime. I sent for a doctor, the best we had, and told him that I thought I had heart disease, and requested him to examine ine and find what was wrong. He did so, but could not locate the disease. He left some medicine, which I took-, but found no relief, and gradually got worse. L became so nervous that with the least excitement my whole system would quiver like a leaf in the breeze. I sent for another doctor. He examin ed me and left me several bottles of medicine but he did not tell me what was the matter with me. I was then suffering very much and every dose of the doctor’s medicine made me worse—no rest., day or night. I got so low, that when I looked out everything bad a dreary, gone look. There came to my mind a statement I had somewhere seen, contain ing numerous recommendations of “Warner’s safe Cure.” Though opposed to proprietary medicines I resolved to try it. I sent im mediately for a few bottles of it, and as soon as it came I began to take it accord ing to directions for a severe case. In 24 hours after taking the first dose I felt relief right away. Alter taking ten bottles of “Warner’s Safe Cure” I felt as well as usual. “Warner’s Safe Cure” saved my life. & CURES BAD BLOOD. C H E A P SP RIN G Line Cassimere Suits, $10.00, $12.50 and $15.00.
