They ca.' attention to the fact. that not
withstandny all the >oaada, that has arisen
and all tue bad feeling that has been
evoked. this coa,; has actually been bene-
tted by the State Of Louisiana only to the
extent OF about sloo.G)3. that the road from
Mobile to this city cost the builders about
s".Ooo,o0o and that Lot one dollar of this
amount was paid hy any town, county or
State through which the road passes: that
the road hence to \erm..;on has been liber-
ally aided by the State. but the securities
of the State hage never been made avail
able: that no interest has been paid on the
bonds Issued to: stock: that opposition OF
every conceivable nature has followed every
movement to build or extend the llne OF the
road. and that the agents are ia0or'ng un-
der embellishments OF this kind to-day
