The Enterprise ERectually and FL.
naIly Killed.
GrpenpilIe Nfu,S

It is hard to understand the Ideas or pur-
poees of the people Of the township OF Aiken
In their refusal to vote the subscription to the
Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chicago Rail-
road. It Is likely, however. that, whatever
their motives may have been, they have kill,
ed the enterprise effectually and finally, ard
the time has come for the owners Of sections
OF grading to look about for some method of
utilizing their property. The Aiken, Trenton
and Edgefield Railroad has twenty odd miles
of graded track which would fit in very nicely
as part OF the narrow gauge system, and the
engineers might possibly devise some way to
use the grading already done In Pickens and
upper Anderson for the same purpose.

Again has Aiken refused to vote subscrip:
ton to the Carolina, Cumberland Gap and
Chicago Railroad, and Montmorenci most
positively refuses to take any stock. Now
that these towns have said untnIstakably that
they will have nothing to do with the under
taking, 1t Is difficult to see what the proJec-
will hardly look fair to ask the towns and
communities along the line to assist In build
ing q railroad to town that doesn't want It.
Unless the citizens OF Aiken will put up
private subscription much larger than they
are likely to do we can see no way open to the
management but to give up the project en-
tirely, for there is no other point to seek with
out going all the way through to Charleston,
and no announcement is to be had in that
quarter The G., G. &. & C. seems to be Col

Aiken Defeats IT.

The township of Aiken has voted against
our railroad. What will be the effects of
Aiken's action? What the effect is to be we
would like to know at an early date. II we
are going to build the Cumberland Gap, there
is no use for delay. IF 1t is to fall through the
quicker we know it, the better it will be for
us and the rood too. People THROUGH this sec.
tion think that the Central road of Georgia
would jump at the opportunity of extending
the Savannah Valley through our midst. The
Central is competing with the Richmond and
est of Savannah. They have the money and
this Is as good territory az any through which
the Central system runs We would like to
know what the authorities Of the Cumber-
land Gap propose to do. We have done all we
car for them and want to know what they
propose to do for us.

MICHAEL HIRsCH, who owns the house
in which Grant was born, wants to sell
the building, which is in a fair state of
preservation, for a rather high price. He
has been offered 81 900 for it, which is
probably far more than it is worth as av'
erage property goes but wants more.
Probably there are persons who will con-
denim Michael for what they will deem
his misplaced avarice, but he is right
enough. Value is frequently averaged
according to association. and if Michael
needs money he would be a foolish man
TO dispose of his possession for less than
round sum. The property is of interest
to the nation, and doubtless the nation
would be willing to pay large amount
for it. 1t would be worth to the nation
all it cost, and it should not be worth less
to Michael Hirscb If it might be charged
that the latter is specializing on the great
ness of the dead and the patriotism of the
nation, what of it? How many in every
walk of life do not do that very thing?
The dealer in mourning emblems is en-
riched by the universal grief that prevails
The man of the booth at the corner will
profit from the funeral display If Michael
should give his treasure away he would
be doing robly, but probably be cannot
afford it. Chance has given him Grants
birthplace as chance frequently gives
men gold mines and it is his private
property as much as if the nation had no
interest in it.. What, however, if it were
brought to New York and set up in Cen
tral Park 1t would be perfectly legi-
innate transaction, and the building
would certainly be protected and cher
ished there quite as much as it would he
