GREENynLE, Miss, April S0.-The elcc-
ton on the question OF the granting by the
city of $4,000 in bonds to purchase ter
minal facilities for the Georgia Pacific
Railway company came of quietly today.
Greenville fully realized the expecta-

her citizens sustained their repu-
tation for judicious liberality
by according practically unanimous vote
in favor OF the subscription in total vote
OF GIG there was but one dissenting. The
verdict was received with great satisfaction

of the standard gauge Georgia Pacific road
from here to Atlanta, Ga, with Greenvlle
as the western terminus. With such ad-
ditional transportation facilities coming,
the future OF Greenville seems brighter
than ever.

decree relative to the plan OF campaignand

to prevail. They have vigilant and ablc
advocates, like Archbishop Walsh in Rome,
and archbishops and bishops at home,
