The Columbus Southern Not Apt TO
BE Extended to Tampa.

The Columbus Southern Not Apt to
BE Extended to Tampa.
Tampa, Fla, Feb. Judge Joseph Of
Quitnan, Ga. was asked to-day what
he thought about the report of an en-
tension of the Columbus Southern rail-
way from Albany, Ga, to Jacksonville.
Fla, and replied promptly: THE whole
idea is so utterly absurd 1 might almost
say so preposterous, that have scarcely
given it thought In the first place.
such line would parallel the Plant sys-
tenn for several miles east of Albany, and
especially the Savannah, Florida and
Western to and east of Naldosta. and in
order TO keep out Of the Okeefnokee
swamp the new line would necessarily
have to be built in close proximity to
the Georgia Southern and Florida and
the Florida Central and Peninsular, and
with as nearly nothing to support II
locally as can Well be imagined. Jack
sonville could give nothing in the way Of
business, for the Plant system. the Flor
ida Central and Peninsular, and the CLYDE
line have their connections and already
control the traffic there. There is moth
ing to be expected from such a line east
Of Naldosta. Again If the Waycross Air
Line should be extended from where it
is already built to Bagley, in Appling
county, on the East Tennessee. Virginia
and Georgia, which seems highly prob
able, the distance from Atlanta to Jack
sonville will be at least 100 miles shorter
than it would be by way of the proposed
extension Of the Columbus Southern. In
my opinion such a line will never be
built. No capitalist would be so soft
to put his money into it."
Judge Joseph is quite enthusiastic over
the prospects of the proposed line from
Americas or Albany to Tampa, Fla, and
declares that by either route, the distance
from Atlanta TO Tampa can be made
shorter by DO miles than by any other line
now built or in operation. The largest
land syndicate in Florida, he says, ARE
so anxious for a railroad down the west
coast with a short connection to Atlanta
and the west that they have all expressed
a willingness to make a liberal division of
their holdings with the owners of the
Americas and Tampa lines. 1t is estimated
that the donations that can thus be Sc
cure, together with the subsidies that
Florida will extend to the company, in
order to have the line built will more
than equal in value the first cost of the
road. and more than IS per cent. of the
right-of-way will be given free by the
owners of the land. The company, of
course, will control the town Sites

a FAITHFUL NEGRO REWARDED.

Gov. Atkinson Makes JanitOr n
Black who Served His Brother.
Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 1.--Gov. Atkinson to-
day made an appointment in which there
is nice little story of sentiment. The ap-
pointment was that of Robert Atkinson, a
negro servant in the Atkinson family be-
fore the war. to be a janitor at the capitol
when the governors eldest brother, John
p. Atkinson, went into the army the negro
Robert accompanied him to the front, and
when he received the gunshot wound that
gave him his death, it was Robert who
carried him off the battle field, and later
brought him home TO his fathers hearth
stone to die. When Gov. Atkinson was
elected he promised his faithful negro a
place If he should want it. A few days ago
the request for the promised place came
and true to his promise, the governor at
once made a place for him.

CRIME IN THE CAPITOL.
Stryehnine Put in Bucket of
Drinking water.

Atlanta, Ga. Feb. IA sensation was
treated at the capitol to-day by the dis
covery that a bucket of drinking water
mad been poisoned with strychnine.
Charlie Dinl5ins, one of the negro porters,
happened to take drink of the water
and came near losing his life by the poi
son. It was last Saturday that Dinkins
drank the poisoned water, but the facts
were only made known to-day. When
Dinkins was seized with commissions, af-
ter having drunk the water, the matter
was reported TO the governor, and the
water was turned over to state Chemist
Payne for examination. DR. Payne re-
ported to-day that uhe water had been
poisoned with strychnine.
There is no clue to the person that put
the poison in the water and 1t is not
known whose life was attempted, but 1t
is thought that one of the negro porters
did IL to create vacancy for a new man,
whose appointment had been announced
and thus prevent the discharge of any Of
the old men to make place for the new
conner.

NEGROES on THE WHEEL.
The Old Color Line Fight in the
League to Be ReOpencd.

New York, Feb. IA morning paper
says; Chief Consul Jacquist of the I'LL
nois division of the League of American
wheelmen, will propose at the meeting of
the national assembly on Feb. IS. that the
constitution be amended by erasing the
word white" from the membership rule.
Such a change would provoke great dis
satisfaction in the ranks of the organiza-
ton. For the last three years the League
of American Wheelmen has annually held
meeting upon the matter of the admission
of other than white people to the league.
Some of the leading members of the
league. and particularly the southern con-
tingent have objected to the admission
of colored wheelmen.
1T was only two years ago that the
southern wheelmen succeeded in having
the constitution so amended as to preclude
colored riders, and to reopen this subject
as Mr.. West intends to, is sure to create a
stormy meeting. If such a change is effect
ed there would be a big secession in the
south -
