Great Railroad Combination.

Great Railroad Combination.
A dispatch from Birmingham, Ala,
dated the 18th, gives the following out
line of the most important movement
ever inaugurated for the development,
progress, and wealth of the South. 1t
is the South for the South and South
ern Confederacy within the Union, and
destined to add to the material and po-
litical power of the South. beyond pres
cut computation.
The dispatch says: The largest railroad
and steamboat deal that has ever taken
place in the South is now under consid-
GRAFTON. A United States Senator, who
is intimate with the capitalists behind
the DEAL is authority for the statement
that ii. b. Plant, president of the Plant
system of roads and steamship lines, and
John H, lnman, president of the Rich
mond Terminal Company, are the head
of the enterprise They have obtained
control of the harbor rights at Tampa,
Fla, and have DIET ermined to make that
port the great shipping place for all, or
Southwest and Northwest to Europe and
South and Central America. The lines
will carry their own freight and that of
their connections to Tampa, instead Of
to Boston, New York, and other ports.
The lines that are in the movement are
the Richmond Terminal Company's sys-
TEN, including the East Tennessee, Vir-
ginia, and Georgia; the Central, of Geor-
gia; the Richmond and Danville, the
Georgia Pacific, the Plant system of
railroads. the Louisville and Nashville,
Texas and Pacific, Southern Pacific, and
probably the Queen and Crescent, the
Plant Steamship Lines and several new
lines of steamships are to be established.
The harbor will be improved, new
wharves will be built and terminal ia
cilities arranged.
Besides this, it is given out that Messrs
Plant and Inman will build an airline
of their own from Tampa to Mobile and
New Orleans in order to facilitate the
handling of the great influx of Western
freight from the Southern Pacific and
other lines terminating at New Orleans.
The deal was brought about by the ac-
ton of a number of trunk lines in the
South and West sending freights over
long routes to Eastern points and lack
of uniformity in rates. and other com
plications between the managers of
Southern lines and the Eastern lines to
the seaboard. The result will tie that
large portion of Northwestern freight,
as well as that from the South and South
west, will go to Tampa for export. 1t
will be great benefit to the South in
many ways Besides affording better
ia .ilities for foreign shipment. it will re-
suit in the establishment of new steam
ship lines at Tampa, Pensacola and
probably Mobile.

Warden StOrdOck addressed US last Sun
day on the moral and political condition of
this country. Evidently he does not view
the present state of national affairs through
pink-tinted spectacles. 1t seems that he
has been viewing t back side of the scenes
and has discovered that the stately struct-
ures resplendent in the footights' glare are
some of them only One-siXteenth of an inch
thick. and that ''all that glitters is not
gold" His remarks were decidedly out of
the line commonly addressed to convcts
and would hardly meet with the approba-
ton of those who believe in keeping the
outside OF the sepulchre clean to view, even
if all within is corruption. No man who
truly loves his country should hesitate in
exposing The evils that would in time work
ITS destruction. nor does it do harm to tell
the whole truth to convicts.
