GAIL reporter yesterday Mr.. Dayie said
that the railroad company had been beaten
on every proposition by him, and that
now it had descended to whispering SLAM
ders through its organs TO the effect that
he had sold out TO it (the rairoad).
"Why." said he, "they could not beat us
with their flyer they could not beat us
.bv. cutting down the rate on both their
:Tines-to 10 cents on their regular line and
to 215 cents on their creek route-and now,
as a last resort, they resort 10 their favorite
weapons-vituperation and slander. They
are setting their organs TO Whispering
things. Tney are at the bottom of these
false reports TO the effect that we have
sold out, and that business is so dull with

reports are falsehoods Of the rankest char
acter. we have not sold out, nor do we
intepd to, and we have not withdrawn a

place it with better one"

capital, not railroad capital. with which to
improve The boats and the service gener-
ally. but about this Mr.. DaVie was not pre-
pared to talk.
