A thoughtful communication, ems
bodying very plausible argument
in favor Of the state controlling the
railroads, appears in this paper.
While we cannot agree with lhe wri-
ter in his positions, yet we are willing
the public should have the benefit of
his thoughts on the subject. As the
whole question is now before the
courts, we do not see that any good
can result from its agitation. There
seems to be a disposition among the
people and with the press OF the state
to discuss other matters, and leave
this for the courts to decide, and we
think it is well, Milan and Gibson
county cannot afford to array them
selves against railroads, and we be.
lieve there is little disposition to do
so. Our wonderful growth and pros
perity are attributed to these great
enterprises, and We should do all in
our power to build other projected
lines through our county. We have
not yet lost all hope Of seeing the
completion of the Tennessee Central.
