Poiniing 40 II ErcnI RuiIrond Com
biuuIIon.
from Savann III, Ga. News.

Mr.. II. 7. Smart, chairman OF the
reorganization committee of the Geor.
gia Southern and Florida railroad. is
back from baltimore. lie said western
day that the Southern Halfway com
pany has acquired possession of about
81, 500. 600 OF the certificates represent.
ing the bonds which have been dcpus-
lied with the committee. The South
ern, lie states, cannot take charge until
after October let, at which time it Will
have the power TO elect its own officers
and board OF directors. President
Spencer, who was Mt the meeting, MIR.
Smart says, took very fair aud Just
position throughout aud merely made
one or two suggestions with regard to
the directory, while he was ready 10
accept suggestions from members OF
the committee.
Mr.. Spencer suggested that tho
Southern being the owner of so large u
number OF the bonds should have some
representation on the board OF drec-
tors, which was readily acceded to, he
ana wee President Andrews being put
on tho ticket.
kallroad men everywhere seem to DO
taiRlng OF these movements of the
southern and pointing significantly to
me iact that Ills endeavoriDg 10 extend
It's territory IN every direction. The
opinion that II combinat on of all the
big raiirond systems of the South is in
view. and that 1t is Icing backed by
the Southern Halfway Company seems
TO be growing. 1t is talked OF not only
III Savannah, but in other places, and
the opinion everywhere Is that the In.
dications bear out the statement that
the Southern is back of some such
movement.

The adoption Of Norfolk as tue deep
water terminal, however. If our citi-
Zens will arouse shemsrlves, could be
used Il great big lever on the Southern
railway to induce 1t to open up and de-
velop the rich south bank of tho james
river; to make IL valuable distributing
point ut Claremout, which would add
largely to the business of the road of
our little city.
The Southern railway TO reach Nor
folk must, In the first place, cross the
river ana secure route along the
south bank OF the james. Now, while
II would be unwlse and Ine1pedient to
extend the West Point branch of New
port News and barge freight and pas
sengoas across the Roads to Norfolk. 1t
would be an economical move to run
from West Point to Lexington, cross
the river by ferry to Clarenopt, then
build rond from Claromout to the
SEQ, along the banks of the james,
through vastly rich though compare
lively new and undoveloped country,
aud tapping the tidewatcr truck tields.
This would make new business for the
Southern railway aud give us q decent
show for future development aud
growth.
Tho Southern railway would be tho
gamer, for its connections then would
be unequaled by any other line trav-
ersiug Southern territory. 1t would
cross tho Chesapeake and Ohio at Lau-
exa, and havo tho advantage offered by
1T as connecting link with the great
West. 1t could make close connections
with the Norfolk and Western by
using the Atlantic and Danvillo to
Waverly, whereby its trade with South
west Virginia I nd the coal fields would
be largely increased.

THIRD TERM DISCUSSION.

Inc discussion Of a third term for
President Cleveland is in active pro.
gress, but 1t is only just to say, remarks
the Philadelphia Times, that it is con.
fined entirely to some of the more
reckless Republican organs aud the
Few Democratic organs who cordially
hate the President. Even if MIR.
Cleveland were ambitious to reverse
the unbroken custom OF the nation. he
could not be blind to the fact that that
custom is irreversibe.
1t is the unwritten law of the nation,
as the Times asserts, that no man snail
be chosen to the Presidency beyond
two terms, and the sentiment is deeply
SEATED In the convictions Of the Ameri.
can people. Washington could have
been chosen to third term if lie had
not peremptorily declined It, and the
fact that he refused third term has
established an immntable law that none
OF his successors can violate. Gen.
Grant tried it under the abest political
leadership of the country in 1890, and
the result was only Illuminating delent
Tor man who had been twice chosen
20 the Presidency by overwhelming
maiorities.
Jefferson might have made contest
Cor third term in 1905 when he volun
FAIRLY retired. He wes then altogether
abe strongest man of the milton with
The people. He chose to retire in
obedience to Wnshington's example,
and the face Shat he lived for nearly
two decades after his retirement proved
Shat he was not Influenced by stability

Madison, who succeeded Jefferson.
also accepted the example OF Washing
ton, and from the tiulc Of his re.elec-
ton in 1912 the question of his election
to u third term was never thought of
or even discussed by himself, or his
friends, or his enemies. Monroe sue
ceeded Madison. and was re elected by
practically unanimous vote. lie
would have received the unanimous
vote OF the Electoral College OF the
country but for the fact that one elec-
or withheld his vote from him for the
avowed reason that he thought Wash.
ipgton should stand alone in tho his
try of the country us the only unani-
mously elected Chief Magistrate. No
one thought of giving to Monroe II
third term, although lie lived number
Of years after his retirement.
Gen. Jackson was another possibility
in successful contest for third term,
but lie initiated the example of Wash
ington 10y delivering II farewell address
to the nation nj the close Of his second
term, distinctly declining to be con
siicred II candidate and obviously as
Stunning that Washington had fixed the
uuwritten law Of the country that 10
President should servo more than two
terms.
1t is entirely safe to assume, there
fore, that two terms for the Presidency
liz tho unwritten and irrevocsble law of
the Republic. aud no man OF Mr..
Cleveland's intelligent and just con.
coption could for moment misunder-
stand. He has three times been a
candidate before the people, and each
time received IN increased popular
majority. He was first chosen in 1881
by 26, 900 majority; in 1855 he received
80, 600 majority, although he was de-
feated III the Electoral College, and in
1892 he received nearly 4UO. 600 ma
iority. THE VIRGINIAN, like it's Phila.
delphia contemporary, is firm in it's
opinion that Mr.. Cleveland will not
entertain for moment the question of
being candidate for third term.

The school is moving on nicely, not
withstanding the ice-blanket thrown
on it by ''Scribus" last week. There
was a little interruption of our first

upon the operation Of the school. 1t
has not stopped a day, and the people
who send and pay are pleased. So far
from the house being divided against
Itself, we have never known so large a
community better United on a school.
We say this for the good of the school
and people, and because we have been
in a position to see and know what is
going on in connection Herewith.
The recent rain has frightened
up the cabbage and turnip patches
and the faces Of our truckers also.
The postotice will be moved to-day
to the business house OF G. Mork, on

Others. We can't all have everything
