Mcintosh county is alive to its posi-
bilities. The railroad schemes which it
is promoting seem to be ding ahead
with unanimous Endorsement. At the
meeting held last night, announcement of
which was made in the NEWS, the opinion
of Lester Il Ravenel. Of this city, to the
effect that no substantial aid could be ex-
tended by the county towards any railroad
corporation, either by the issue of county
bonds or loan of county funds, was sub
mitted. After some discussion the fol-
lowing report was read:
We, the committee appointed by the grand
jury 10 inquire and report the possibility of
securing such legislation as would authorize
the county to extend aid towards any enter
prise that m ght be shown to be advantageous
to the county IN the shape of railroad connec-
ton with the outside world, thereby enhauc-
ing the value of our county property, report
that seeing that the county cannot issue bonds
nor lend money aid to a railroad en-
terprise, being debarred therefrom by
the State constitution, we recommend
that this meeting take such action as will give
such aid as legitimately can be given to any
board of corporatOrs who will guarantee to
undertake the building OF q road To secure
this end we recommend that application be
made to the Legislature to pass bill author
ling the County Commissioners to allow five
days year Of the time allowed by law for
road work, to be used on railroad
construction, and this time be deducted
from the fifteen days legal road work
time; and that we also ask the legislature
ia the same bill, to relieve said railroad for
the term of twenty five years after the first
train IS run through, connecting with any
other railroad, from all taxes both State and
county, and further that the rate for CARRYING
passengers be granted the corporators by an
act, not to exceed five cents per mile. Your
committee seeing the necessity of doing some
thing to bring about revival of our once
nFngnArDIa a Of ,.ttts. -
zens united and hearty Cooperation to Sc
cure the building Of a railroad. All of which
Is respectfully submitted.
The report of the committee was re-
eeived and adopted, and a motion was
made that the resolution of the committee
be adopted, and that the meeting instruct
and request the Senator and Representa-
tiyes TO do all in their power towards the
passage of law in the coming General
Assembly which would carry out the in
tentiOns of the resolutions submitted by
the committee.

enps office, he prepared himself by practical
experience in the locomotive department. and

positions which he SUGGEST velv filed OF AS
slstant Engineer, Master of Roadway. Master
OF Machinery, and Chief Engineer in this SER
vice. When failing health induced him to re-
sign this important office, he continued, as
Consulting Engineer, to aid the management
with his experience and counsel.
His professional accomplishments were
heightened by his modesty and integrity,
which insured him the respect and esteem Of
all with whom he was associated, and espici-
ally of the General Manager. who takes this
opportunity to express his sorrow at this I'M
timely loss of one so highly valued, both Off
clally and personally.
