A mass meeting of citizens was held at the court-house Monday night to discuss th§ railroad situation as it affects Newnan, and to give further consideration and encouragement to the projected line between Newnan and Franklin. Col. W. L. Stallings pre aided, and Mr, Sam Banks acted as secretary of the meeting The opening talks were made by Hon. I. N. Orr and Col. W. C. Wright. Mr. Orr was strongly in favor of building the road to Franklin, and believed Newnan would be greatly benefited by such a connection. If it should be deemed practicable to extend the road to some point on the A., B. & A., so much the better, but he thought we should have the road to Franklin by all means. Col. Wright also spoke earnestly in favor of the Franklin line, which, while valuable in itself, would also prove an important link in a railroad that would give Newnan what she most needed and long had sought—i. e., con nection with an independent trunk line. This connection would be secured by extending the Newnan and Franklin road to a point on the A., B. & A. road about 12 miles.east of Newnan. He was authorized to state to the meeting that certain capitalists stood ready to build the road from Franklin via Newnan to the A., B. & A. road, provided the citizens of Coweta and Heard counties would subscribe the sum of $150,000, and the promoters re ferred to would not ask the payment of a single dollar until the road was built and the cars running. He thought the people of Coweta and Heard would be extremely foolish not to close with this offer. The only way Newnan could hope to secure equitable freight rates would be to build and connect with the only renlly independent big system now operating in Georgia, etc. Mr. M. F. Cole said he would like for Newnan to have all the advantages in the matter of freight rates that are allowed to olher towns of no greater size or importance; hut that we should first determine just what we wanted. When that was clone we should then organize and go to work in a business like way to get what we needed. It was possible, he said, that the two railroads now centering at Newnan would give better r^tes if we were to present our ense fairly. In any case, he regarded organization as of the first importance, whatever course might be determined upon. Mr. V. E. Manget, jr., said that Mr. W. A. Brannon, president of the board of trade, hnd gone thoroughly into the rate question some months ago, and af ter his investigation made the asser tion that Newnan paid over $200,000 a year in excess of the tariff allowed to Cedartown, LaGrange and Opelika— towns situated precisely as is Newnan in the matter of railroad facilities. On motion of Mr. R. D. Cole, jr., a committee was appointed to ascertain the dilference in the freight rate paid by Newnan and that paid by Cedar- town, I^aGrunge and Opelika, both from Eastern and Western points. The chairman appointed as this committee Messrs. It. L). Cole, jr., H. C. Glover, W. A. Brannon and T. B. McRitehie. On motion of Col. W. C. Wr'ght a committee was appointed ulso to inves tigate the probable cost of extending the survey of the Newnan and Franklin road from Newnan to Wynn’s pond, on the A., B. & A. road. On this commit tee the chairman appointed Messrs. W. C. Wright, J. J. Keith. 1. N. Orr, sr., M. F, Cole. T. G. Farmer, V. E. Man gel, jr., and I. P. Bradley. The meeting then adjourned, to as semble again upon the call af the chair man. Addy, J A Alsabrook, J T Allyn, R T Allen, S W Amis, C M Amall, H C, jr. Amall, F M Amall, H C, sr.
