The proposition that the state of
Georgie should pay for the construc
tion of a new union passenger depot
in Atlanta is again before the state
legislature.
The state owns the present depot,
and the structure beyond dispute re
fleets much discredit upon whoever
is responsible for its continued exist
ence.
The railroad for which this depot
was constructed belongs to the state,
but it is leased to another railroad
company for a specified number of
years. Other railroads besides that
belonging to the state use the old
depot, and it is presumed there is a
specific contract under which they
use this property.
The bill under which it is pro
posed to build the new depot has
been prepared by a special commit
tee of the legislature and introduced
in the House of Representatives. It
is proposed that the new depot shall
be a palatial structure, to cost $500,-
000, and that the funds shall be
drawn from the state treasury. The
construction is to be under the su
pervision of a commission—similar
to that having charge of the state
capitol—with the governor of the
state as chairman.
While we have not read the full
text of the bill, we presume it Care
fully protects the interests of the
state. The specific funds to be used
in building the depot will be one-
half of the rental of the Western &
Atlantic Railroad.
The legislators are sworn to act
within constitutional limits, and to
carefully serve the state’s interests.
Therefore, it should appear that the
construction of such a depot by the
state would be a good business in
vestment for the state; It should be
shown as an assured fact that all the
railroads now using the old depot
will use the new structure on terms
fair and profitable to the state.
There should be a positive financial
guarantee that the wishes and inter
ests of the city of Atlanta will not
be served to the disadvantage of the
state, or in preference to the state’s
interests;
The city should protect the state
against all suits for damage that
might arise out of the changes of
property "privileges, etc., that the
new building might be the cause, of.
Throughout the state the opinion
grevails that there is a very big deal
fojv Attar} ta in the proposed new de
pot, and if such be the case, legisla
tors should vote against the measure,
Make it -a business affair solely,
and right will prevail.
Democratic statesmen in Wash
ington City are not at all discour
aged over the result of the. elections,
The party has redeemed Kentucky
and Maryland, gaining a senator in
each. Nebraska and New Jersey
were the only, two states where the
result was in any doubt, and in nei
ther was the defeat unexpected. In
the latter the republican majority
was materially reduced. The result
in New York waft due as much to
democrats as republicans, and was. a
protest against Tammany, which
through long continued power had
grown out of all bounds, just as the
republican machine had done in
Philadelphia. Its overthrow means
a revival of true democracy, which
means liberty and not license. This
revival is sure to be aided next year
by the revulsion of feeling that is
certain to follow the rule of Senator
Platt under guise of non-partisan
ship. All things considered, the
democratic politicians here think
that the future before them is
bright.—Our Washington Corres

Modern Surgery Surpassed
“While suffering from a bad
case of piles I consulted a physi
cian who advised me to try a box
of DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve,”
says G v F. Carter, Atlanta, Ga.
“I procured a box and was entire
ly cured. DeWitt’s Witch Hazel
Salve is a splendid cure for piles,
giving relief instantly, and I
heartly recommend it to all suff
erers.” Surgery is unnecessary to
cure piles. DeWitt’s Witch Ha
zel Salve will cure any case. Cuts,
burns, bruises and all other
wounds are also quickly cured by
it. Beware of coun terfeits. Hoi tz-

It is reported from Atlanta that

a large-sized racket in congressional
politics. The report indicates that a

congressmen. Disproportion in the

that the county in which Griggs re

Lewis; that Lester and Brantley of

Maddox of the fourth and eighth,
and Livington and Howard of the

Education is an uplifter in every
avenue of life. Especially does it
increase the earning capacity of ev
ery one who gets it and uses it cor
rectly. The unedueated are con
demned, by force of circumstance®,
to be, practically, “hewers of wood
and drawers of. water” throughout
their lives. Education is the only
ladder by which people can climb
up to success in the higher avenues
of business.
State School Commissioner Glenn
has been served with a warrant by
the sheriff of Washington county,
charging him with criminal libel.
The warrant was issued at the in
stance of County School Commis
sioner Rogers of Washington coun

alleged fact that Commissioner
Glenn wrote a letter to the county
board of education of Washington
county in which he made allegations
against the officiayntegrifcy of Com
missioner Rogers.
