Appointment of Ellis as General
Manager Means Alliance of the
Georgia, L. & N. and A. C. L.
AUGUSTA, Aug. 30.—While there
has been nothing official given out
in regard to the significance of the
appointment of J. H. Ellis, secretary
of the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
r oad. to be acting general manager
or the Georgia road, still it is believed
that the step means a closer working
agreement between the Georgia and
the Louisville and Nashville and At
lantic Coast Line systems than ever
before. It is pointed out that Mr
Rllis was selected from the ‘'official
family,” so to speak, of the Louis
ville and Nashville and he was In
stalled here last week by First Vice
President W. L. Mapother.
The Georgia Railroad and Bank
ing Company was leased on May 7,
1881, to William M. Wadley, at that
time controlling the Central' of Geor
gia Railroad. A short time later
*he Central* let the Louisville and
Nashville have a half Interest In the
lease, and when the Central went
to the wall the Atlantic Coest Line
took over the half interest owned by
the Central.
Cosat Line Gets In.
Later the Cosat Line secured the
Louisville and Nashville by purchase
and the Georgia is now a part of
the big Coast Line-Louisville and
Nashville system, although like the
Louisville and Nashville not losing
Its identity and operating, in a way,
entirely independent of any other
road.
The lease of the Georgia Railroad
and Banking Company provides that
the lessees shall pay to the stock
holders of the property $600,000 per
year. The capital stock of the Geor
gia is $4,200,000 and the bonded in
debtedness is $2,500,000. The $600,000
rental pays the stock dividends and
also Interest on the bonds. Georgia
Railroad stock has never paid less
than 10 per cent In recent years, and
has been paying 12 per cent.
Waiters Visits Augusta.
Last week Chairman Walters, of
the board of directors of the Atlantic
Coast Line, was in Augusta and con
ferred with First Vice President
Mapother and Mr. Ellis.
Thomas K. Scott, who, according to
the announcement of Mr. Mapother,
has retired from the management
temporarily on account of ill health,
succeeded Major John W. Green as
general manager In August, 1893.
Previous to coming here he was su-
oerintendent of the Alabama Mineral
Railroad, with headquarters at An
niston.

thousands, cashed them at a local
bank at a discount, and left town

good the losses to the local policy

Atlanta-Carolina To Be Given An
other Opportunity by Athens
to Build Line.
ATHENS, Aug. 30.—A representa
tive of the Atlanta-Carolina Railway
appeared before the Mayor and Coun
cil of Athens this w r eek to ask for a
franchise of the proposed railway
from South Carolina to Atlanta on
the streets of the city. A franchise
for this purpose was granted several
years ago, but has lapsed.
The proposition was taken into
consideration and w'ill be reported on
favorably. This is a proposed inter-
urban line that is being projected
from South Carolina through Geor
gia and will either run by Athens or
Gainesville.
COLUMBUS, Aug. 30—The people
of Columbus have not in many years
been so wrought up over an approach
ing election as they are over the
water works bond election to be held
October 18.
While only about 700 voters have
registered thus far, it is expected
that the registration will run well
above the 1,500 mark, before the
books close September 28. Bo*h sides
are organizing for the fight; in fact,
it may be said that they are already
-rganized. It is generally' predicted
that it is going to be one of the most
bitter fights that have been seen in
Columbus In many years.
While it Is not charged by the ad
vocates of bonds, directly, the im
pression is given out by them tha-
the Columbus Water Supply company
is owned by the Stone & Webster in
terests of Boston, Mass., altnougn
Birmingham, Ala., capital purchased
the plant one year ago and are now
engaged in spending $100,000 in mak
ing improvements in the system.
The members of the Municipal
Ownership (Tub has Issued an ad
dress to the voters of Columbus in
which they an*, told that the water
franchise is the only one left the
city and urging them to help the
city utilize that one. They also ask
the voters if they had not rather
trust men at home to manage their
affairs than men from Birmingham,
Philadelphia. Baltimore, or Boston
The address closes with the state
ment that Columbus Is able to man
age her own affairs.
Meetings Are Held.
While the advocates of bonds haw
been holding regular meetings and
discussing their side of the issue from
all standpoints, those opposing bonds
are equally as active.
Mayor L. H. Chappell is the chief
champion of the municipal bond ad
vocates, ably backed by a number of
the best known and most prominent
citizens of Columbus, but the oppo
nents of the bond issue claim among
their numbers quite a few men of
much wealth, from a local standpoint.
The Mayor is authority for the
statement that it is to be a fight to
the finish this time, and that th f
contest is to be a really bitter one.
IF now seems as if there will be a
contest the like of which Columbus
has never seen before.
It is also pretty certain that there
will be feelings of bitterness en
gendered that will not die out for a
number of years. It Is one time when
it looks as if those on opposite sides
are to line up in various lines of
business and support each other, t<*
the exclusion of all others. While it
is ii bitter fight, there are compara
tively few of those who are impartial
that will vouchsafe a guess as to
• outcome will be.
