PUSHING THROUGH ALABAMA.
The Columbia, Geneva and Western
Road to Be Started To-day.

IL
Road to Be Started To-day.
The indications point to active operations
soon on the Columbia, Geneva and Western
road, from Columbia, Ala, to Geneva, Ala. =,
which enterprise was fully detailed Ia the
MORNING NEWS last week
Large subscriptions have been secured in
advance of opening thu books to the capital
stock Of the company. The books are to be
opened June 10 at Columbia, Ashford,
Cowarts. Taylor, Sanders, Dundee and Gen
eva. The projectors Of the enterprise say
the road is now assured.
The Columbia Recorder Of last Thursday
says that active work will begin this morn
ing and will be continued uninterruptedly
until the fifty miles of road way from Co
lumbia to Geneva is completed, and it pre-
diets that the road will be ready for trains
within six months, as the grading is light
and crossties and timber can be plentifully
obtained all along the line. The Recorder
says:
The contract will be signed for the con-
struction of the Columbia, Geneva and
Western railroad within the next few days,
from Columbia, Henry county, to Geneva,
Geneva county, Alabama, O distance of
about fifty miles. 1t is the Ncompan, IS in
tention to construct line to Geneva and
perhaps on to the Gulf Of Mexico, by the
shortest possible route. This will be a
splendid line over the route which has been
selected. The resources of the country
through which the line will pass in this
part of the state are known of all men, and
embrace nearly everything in the catalogue
of truck farms, etc. From here the road
will pass through splendid farming coun-
try, aud win cut for the entire distance CT
fifty miles the finest belt of long leaf yellow
pine timber east of the Mississippi river. In
as short time it would be difficult to select q
line in the south which would unite on its
route SO many important resources.

The superintendent of Water Works
Indorses Mr.. Douglas Views.
Supt. Manning of the water works says
the views of Mr.. David Douglas on the
wastage of water and the remedy to be ap-
piled are correct, but judging from the ex-
perience of the past Supt Manning is in
clined to think that talk will not remedy
the defects complained Of.
Supt. Manning does not favor the plan
suggested of having a number of small

No action has yet been taken by the
council, and there is general complaint at
the delay, as it is believed the 20 per cent. Of

to promote foul disorders and of a stubborn

GOVERNMENT AS a COMMON CAR
RtrR

The element of common sense
and common justice is altogether
lacking in any postal telegraph
scheme under which the force and
power OF the government would be
used to compel private lines to
transmit popular messages in
competition with their own inter
ests. Such q policy would be a
war measure-that is, an act de-
pending for justification only on
the law Of the stronger.
The Federal government has no
constitutional authority to 90 into
the private business Of operating
railroads or telegraphs, but sup
posing that it had no constitution,
three courses would be open to it:
IL could build lines of its own
and compete The existing lines out
Of existence-indirectly coniiscat-
ing them.
Itcould buy them at an agreed
price and prohibit competition.
Itcould conficate them directly
The plaza OF allowing them to re
