ing out such heavy article as a rail-
road franchise to men who do not
want it ? The members of the Legis-
lature that we have talked with, tell
us they would have voted for the char
ter had there been any show or proba-
bility of carrying it into execution.
This is what we meant by the express
sion, genuine in INTENT" which so
puzzled our neighbor.
The Record goes further in the ques-
tioning mood and wants to know what
special test was made whereby the
Addicks bill was proven to be "genu-
inc in INTENT" and as it passed, what
that genuine intent' is. We would
answer the editor that he has the same
means of knowing that we have, and
if so interested ought to know more,
for we have had no occasion to inquire
into it. But this is apparent that Mr..
Addicks is no supposition or myth,
but a reality, with investments in
Boston, New York and Philadelphia
$12,000,000 it is stated, in gas stock.
On the score of genuine intent" he
would pass we should think even by
the Record schedule of substantially.
The record of the Legislature shows
that charter grants and acts of incor-
poratiOn for firms and individuals
were enacted by scores and scores
Jackson & Sharp, Harlan & Hollings-
worth, embracing from first to last
about all the capitalists of Whining
ton. The largest class of business be-
fore them was that affecting business
of an individual and corporate kind.
J. Edward Addicks was a citizen of
the State as we'll as they, amenable to
the same laws and of course entitled to
the same benefits. He asked the priv
lege of opening Office and conducting
business in Wilmington as other men
had and were doing, and he differed
from them en- mass only in the possible
scale of his operations. Without dis
eliminating against him in a manner
that would be inconsistent with their
relations to the general public, they
either had to treat him as citizen
who was using his capital to augment
the general volume of business or treat
him as a virtual fraud. If he could
conduct business in the cities above
named without infractions of the law
or regarded as different from other
men, Wilmington could certainly lay
no such claims to immaculacy as to
shut him out. This is all we under
stand there is in the Addicks matter.
If our cctempOrary knows something
that we do not of information that
comes to us only in the general way of
intelligence, then it has no occasion to
ask us.
1t closes its list ofqueries as follows
"Will the SMYRNA TIMES while
making these explanations kindly add
one more and inform a waiting and
interested public how much money it
takes to form a genuine intent, to the
satisfaction of an average legislator"
There is an insinuation in this par
agraph that no paper in the State that
we have seen has been mean enough
before to throw out against the men,
bers that composed our late Legisla-
ture. We would suggest to the man
who could ask such question that the
author is capable of giving the most
satisfactory answer to his own question.
Smyrna times., 1889-05-08

THE Smyrna Record kindly refers to
US as a "semi-oficial Republican organ,
pecially in comments on legislative
proceedings" Our cOtemporary will
please kindly bear the fact in mind
that the TIMES stands in no relation.
official or semi-oficial to anything but
to the general public and its editor.
1t then asks us to explain, referring to
the three killed railroad bills, "how
the Legislature determines whether
any bill is or is not genuine in intent.n
We answer, by the same method that
they determine the genuineness or
meri'7 of amy other business project or
pfopa-f.... fla man should go to a
shop and want to buy an expensive
piece Of machinery, but hadn't the
money to plank down, the proprietor
would wisely want to know as a means
OF self protection whether the man had
means that could be made convertible
or was sufficiently backed by friends.
This was the position that confront
ed the members of the Legislature in
the three bills referred to. If there
was any substantially in them or back
Of them, it was not apparent. There
was no probability after granting a
charter that the roads would be con-
stFucted by the corporators named.
As guardians Of the State they felt
that it would be a reprehensible act to
grant a franchise, that falling into the
hands Of spectators could be peddled
out to the highest bidder, generally a
competing line to get it out OF their
way. The thing has been done in our
State, and would be just as likely to
occur again in these degenerate days,
as Bishop Potter regards them, were
the opportunity to offer.
The one Of the three in which there
mas been any general expressed interest
was that known as the "Granger Bill
which was facetiously credited with
Starting nowhere and running every.
where" One of our own citizens wa.
named as one Of the corporators IN
this bill. When approached by mem.
Der Of the Legislature for some infor
nation ia regard to it, he said he knew
nothing about it. Why, said the law
maker, you are named in the bin a,

SOME of the papers are making
notable feature of the use of postage
stamps by the Legislature, an average
of 1909 for each member. Perhaps the
large number arose from the fact of
there being so many bachelors among
them. With about one-ffth of them
courting men, it might naturally be
expected that the draught on a pile of
stamps for love letters would be en-
Ormous.

Worthy Home Company.

One of the lessons which the Los An
geles press has long endeavored to incul-
cate is that our people should give their
support to home institutions-a lesson
which cannot be too early learned.
The HERALD has in mind Los Ange-
les life and accident insurance company
the Bankers Alliance. This company
organized about year ago, is already
high in the confidence of the people, from
the simplicity of its methods, which
anyone can understand, and the reliabil.
ity and high standing of the men who
have charge of its management and who
are numbered among the policy holders.
The officers are we'll known to all. II.
Sinsabaugh is the President; E P. John
son, Vice-President; Capt. F. J. Cressey,
Secretary; F. G. Howes, Treasurer, and
j. N. Priest, Superintendent of Agencies.
All Of these men are alike noted for their
personal integrity and business ability.
Though organized for so short time,
the company numbers its policy holders
among the best-known business men of
the city by the hundred. How 1t set
ties it's claims is evidenced by the fol-
lowing unsolicited testimonials:

The attorney then offered seme dozen
or more pages Of Josie Corbett's testi-
mony before the committing magistrate

testimony did not cover the same ground.

swore himself that these papers were

the attorney might impeach himself in
this way. But perhaps that would be

that on the oh, 9TH or 9Th of November

Malta to her father stating that che was

she had no such garment and
could not afford to get one. He con-
