SEWELL & GARRETT,
HELLO CENTRAL.
Will you please connect me with
The News Office. —— Is that
Mr. Espy? I just wanted to
tell you that the people of Menlo are
getting enthusiastic over the question
of building a trolly line from Men
lo to Trion via Raccoon Mills and
Summerville. What do you think of
the project? Why, yes, we
think it is possible and altogether
feasible, owing to the unprecedented
development now going on all over
the county, which to all appearances
will continue for several years at
least. We feel sure that now is an
opportune time to agitate the propo
sition Nothing surer than
that all we have to do is to prove
beyond a reasonable doubt the in
vestment w’ould pay a reasonably
good dividend and we could get all
the money neededl suppose
SIOO,OOO would be ample for con
struction and equipmentNo
trouble about business, in the first
place we all want to go to Summer
ville three or four times a year to
visit our friends, our wives and
daughters would go shopping much
oftener than heretofore; another
thing we expect to have at least
twenty days of court in each year,
if we had a railway to travel over we
would send twice as many persons to
town as have gone in the year past.
Suppose we put the num
ber of passengers at 100 for each
day of court that would make 2000
fares at say 50 cents for the round
trip, that would amount to SI,OOO at
least every year Yes, but you
must remember that is only one item.
The Menlo community would evident
ly spend twice as much on oth
er occasions during,the year for car
fare Yes you are right in
that, tut don’t forget that we would
go to Trion occasionally, especially
on the 4th of July celebrations, when
v, e all go, hot and dusty as it usuallj
is. You see that would give us an
c her SIOO besides our people often
go to Rome and Atlanta and they
come to Menlo .. ..Yes, a number o
Georgia people visit the springs here
every year. If we had better facili
ties many more would come. .. •-»
Ci course we would send our cotton
to Trion, say 4000 bales which we
would expect to collect from the im
mediate neighborhood and the upper
part of Cherokee and DeKalb conn
ties, Ala.. This you know at 50 cts
a tale would amount to $2,000. This
vou see amounts in the aggregate to
over $3,000 or an interest on about
SBO,OOO, counting the interest at 4
per cent There are plenty of
good talkers who would be only to
glad to work for the enterprise for
instance there is our mutual friend
and co-w'orker, Col. Rivers and Mr.
Bitting, both of them young and am
bitious, ready and willing at all times
to lend a hand. .... .. Yes, the
route lies through a most favorable
locality, the way is practically level,
there being one cut of more than 6
feet between Menlo and Raccoon.
That cut is less than 300 feet in
lengthOf course we would
expect the right of way to be donat
ed by the land owners, as it would
more than double the value of real
estate along the linelf they
will investigate land values at the
present and before the Chattanooga
Southern was built they will find
that the prices of land has not only
doubled but in many instances land
that sold for less than five dollars
is now bringing from forty to fifty
dollars per acrel suppose
you are correct in that, you will al
ways find some peop.le ready to op
pose any enterprise and contend that
it is not right to give anything for
the benefit of the public, when at
the same time themselves are im
measurably benefittedlf we
could get the thing properly talked
up we ought to have the whole job
completed and cars running before
first of June next year'Why
not go to work now, get Judge Bel
lah, Shropshire, Taylor, Cleghorn, in
fact, everyone who feels an interest
in the development of the county and
its resources, begin to work without
delayl think so, You
might print a supply of blank options
to be used in securing right of way,
place them in the hands of men along
the proposed line, who will take an
interest in promoting the enterprise
I think your suggestion is
a good one. Suppose you appoint
a day and ask one and all to meet
in the county court house at Summer
ville and discuss the matter, get
the views of one and all who wish
to offer a suggestion relative to
the consumption of this important
question.
