Long Lines the Paying Lines.

When the first movements were made
in the North looking to the consolidation
OF railroads by purchase or otharwise, 50
as to make long through lines under one
control. the wisdom and necessity OF 1t
,was seen by a number of lOng-headed
men who IN those days controlled the
Central Railroad OF Georgia, then a snort
line. with Macon and Augusta as It's
termini. A meeting was held in this
CITY in an Office on the Bav, and the mat
ter was discussed. It was agreed
thar the safety Of that corpo-
ration was in jeopardy by its feeders
passing under the management Of other
roads. and the result Of that conference
was the securing Of the control Of the
Southwestern Railroad and its branches
and soon after Of the Macon and Western.
Other roads were either added TO the sys-
TEN in whole or in part, among them in
the last few years the CentraFs great
competitor. the Georgia Railroad from
Atlanta 10 Augusta. The latest addition
70 this system is the Augusta and
knoxville Railroad. What is to be done
with the road is not vet known
to the public: whether it is to be cut of in
its early youth. and remain a small feeder
to the system, or it is to be built to Knox
Vile. and further on, give
a new and short route from
the West to the south Atlantic, is
vet TO be seen, Of course railroads can
not do anything without money, but it
is not difficult for sDlendidly equ ipped
and prosperous corporation like the Cen
trail to raise money ON any venture they
undertake With its thorough Organiza-
ton it could easily manage lines
many times its present length, and we
trust that its last purchase is for the pur-
pose of extending its lines not only to
Knoxville. but even 10 Chicago. All the
great railroads Of the country, the New
York Central. the Pennsylvania Central.
the Baltimore and ohio, East Tennessee.
Virginia and Georgia, have lines extend
ing thousands of miles to the West and to
the south. bringing freights to New York
Philadelphia. Baltimore and Norfolk.

The introduction Of bill in the Legls-
lature looking to a future sale Of the
Western and Atlantic Railroad raises a
question that will probably grow in mag
nitude as the next regular session OF that
body approaches. 1t is alleged in defense
of the bill that the interest on the state
debt of 100000 is greater than the rem
tails of the road paid into the treasury,
and as the road can be sold for
SS.OOO.OOO. that il Is better
to sell it and discharge the debt. This
argument is supplemented BY another
also, that the road will bring more now
than ii will after the termination OF the
lease on account of growing competition
between it and the East Tennessee, Nlr-
GINA and Georgia Road.
These arguments. however, it is pre-
sumed. are put forth merely to cover the
real design of those engaged in the move
ment. which is understood to be the ac-
QUESTION of the State Road by the Georgia
Central. in order to prevent its falling
into the hands Of the East Tennessee, Nir-
ginia and Georgia Road In this phase of
the question. 1t seems to US, all Middle
and Southern Georgia, and Savannah IN
particular, are vitality interested.
The state Road is truthfully
represented to be the only
outlet of the Central system to the North
west not in the hands Of Northern syndi-
Gates, and if that too should be merged
into their systems, the Central would be
effectually cut off from that region and
compelled to submit TO the terms OF for
eign companies. 1t is easy to see what
would be the effect Of such change upon
the prosperity of a very large proportion
of the State, and we imagine that the peo-
pie OF Georgia are not prepared to be
bottled up in that manner. Ii sale OF
the state Road becomes necessary in
order TO defeat such a calamity, we should
rather favor the proposition, but what
assurances can be given that in the event
of sale the Northern syndicates would
not appear in the market and outhid
the Georgia syndicate: If the Central
system really has place in the hearts Of
the people of Georgia, and they desire to
preserve its power and influence to the
State, the safer method Of disposing Of the
question viii be to require the state to
hold on to her road as a guarantee that
neither it or the Central shall be swal-
lowed up by the Northern syndicates.

also declared that it would be ready for

that the elder Boekel had not vet

kept delaying matters by telling the ex-
pert that he could explain to him the
curious mechanism after it's completion
in less than two hours. This he had not done
yet, because the engine had not reached
