RATILROAD PROSPECTS.
Troup County Moving
LaGrange Reporter.
In response to a call made in the
Reporter last week, a largely at
tended meeting of citizens was held
at the court-house, on Tuesday
last, to give shape to the railroad
moverent.
On motion, Dr. T. 8. Bradfield
was made chairman, and J. H, Pit
man and J. W. Stephens secreta
ries. The chairman stated the ob
ject. of the meeting, which was to
consider matters looking to the
burlding of a railroad that would
pass through LaGrange.
Mr. T. C. Crenshaw said that he
was communicating with gentle
men who had the means of putting
into execniion the building of a
railroad from Chattanooga or some
point northof us to Columbus or
Montgomery. The people of Troup,
Heard, and Carroll through which
counties, the proposed ling would
run,have indicated a disposition to
give their assistance. The propos
ed line would run through La-
Grangg, and thence either to Mont
gomery, Macon or Columbus, -as
may be found most practicable.
Judge Ferrell said that a syndi
cate was now willing to build from
Chattanooga to Columbus, if they
meet with substantial aid A repre
sentative of this syndicate was in
town a few days since, and made
this proposition. Show to us that
vou will help and we will bring the
road. Subscribe the amount of
stock, or make a donation, and we
do not require acent of your mon
ey until the road is equiped and
the engine, with freigated cars, is
rolling into Tagrange. This is a safe
investurent, and, he_continued, “I
am willing to give them §I,OOO, or
takeé $5,000 of clock. 1 don’t care]
whaore the road® gtarts from, ol}
where it goeg, g 0 it ~touches L{l;-k
Grangd, . , i
; ;Mg’.,{}r_i}fighm aoffered the follow
ing resolutions as embodying the
substance of the discussion, which
after amendment, "were adopted. it
the following form : :
Wurrras, It is of the nimost im
portance to the welfare, prosperity
and growth ot LaGrangs and Troup
county, to gecure railrogd connec
tions with other points, giving La-
Grange direct commnnication with
the coal ficlds of Alabama and the
markets of the great West, and also
connecting South hy Columbus,
with markets of the south cast and
South. Looking to the Atlantic by
Macon, Hawkinsville or other eli
gible [points in that direction, or
Columbus on the gouth, oy Chatta
nooga, Cedartown, Birmingham
g,nd othey eligible pointg—thereby
makiung LaGrange a competitive
point for freights and passengers,
East, Weet, North and South. And
Waereas, The building of a rail
road to these points would make
LaGrange the commercial and
manufacturing center of this por
tion of Georgia: Thtreforo, be it
Resolved, That a committe of
seven be appointed to open up ne
gotiating and take such steps as
may , in their opinen,; be wise and
expedient, to secure the building of
such line or railway as will, in thu!
greatest degree, bring about these |
results and afford the greatest ad
vantage to the people of LaGrange
and Troun county.
Rusonvep, further, That the com
mittee be empowered to call a meets
ing of the citizens of Troup - county
whenever, in their hest judgment,
the interest of the building of thig
ratlroad shall require it,
. The following eommittee, provi
ded for in the resolutions, was ap
pointed :T. C. Crenshaw,. Chair
man, B. C. Ferrell, B. H. Bigham,
H.-H. Cary: 8.-D. Pitman, J. R
Broome, F. M. Longley.
By request of the Chairman, the
editor of the Reporter expressed
his conenrrence with the ideas ad
vanced Capitalists must act. The
people could not build a road by
talking. The navigation of the Chat
tahoocee to Franklin, which is now
a certainty, would increase the lo
cal trade at that point. The digres
sion of the North {;_l( South road
from its original course had crea
ted competitive towns LaGrange is
environed and is bound te have a
new outlet, to give increased facili
tics for her increasing business.
Remmarks by Judge Longley led
to the same conclusion. LaGrange!
is not particularly interested in |
building aroad to Columbus, butl
anywhere that will give us the
proper outlet, whether it be to Ma
con, looking to the Atlantic, or Co-|
lumbus, facing the gulf. : |
The citizens seem about to take
definite action at last, and the com=
mitte appointed will open coramu
nication with railroad men and ag.
itate the project before the people
of this and adjoining counties.—
