An Interview by • Gainesville Engle
reporter wilh President Candid.give*
aomo interesting facts about this road.
The road baa been alow , in its
progress, because oil of Us rails have
to be brought from England—the
mills in America having so many or*
darn ahead,that they refuse to lake
more. The road has 200 tons of rails
on band, 200 on the route and 400
in New York awaiting shipment. We
quote Mr. Candler’s language as fol
lows:
‘We have 27 miles of grajlo com
pleted, and a sufficiency of ties lor

“Yes, npon the whole, our road

pletion is a certainty, and when com

agricultural »eclion*of Georgia, and
will, in the opinion ol soma of o«r
best railroad men, be the moat profi
table road of its length in the state.
If we have no farther delays, and I
now see no cause for any, the track
on the 27 miles now graded will be
laid inride of one hundred days, and
trains running on it”

A certain bull-dog whoeo reputa
tion for bad temper wee widespread,
was one day sitting upou a trnia of
hay. A mild looking ox approached
to eat The dog w ith great courtesy
glaocing at his watch remarked on
the lateness oi the hour tor breakfast
nnd politely invited the ox to use no
ceremony. Tho ox immediately
tossed him up with bit horns and
broke his ,htuk. Moral: appearances
are deceitful. Politeness pays some
times, not always.

worked in the same store. They were
named John and Junes. Their duties
were alike, and they were required to
beet the store at half-peat7 in the
morning. John was always there on

the goods in the window they were ac

James slighting all heoonveniently oonld.
John was promoted for oerefnlnsu in

his manner end finally discharged. The
aoonrato boy grew to be a wealthy, self-
made man. Men liked to deal with him;
they were sure of bring treated fairly.
