WHAT is everybody's business is
nobody's business. But il ought to
be the business of the Board of
Mayor and Aldermen to see that
public laws for the convenience and
comfort of the people, are complied
with Or enforced. The state law re-
quiring all railroad stations to have
convenient and comfortable private
retiring rooms for the travelling pub
lie, is a law that should be enforced.
1t is not complied with at this sta
ton. The inadequate arrangement
they have is an insult to the mod
esty of women and an outrage upon
the travelling public. II it is not
the business of the City Fathers
to attend to the enforcement of this
law, whose business is it, ard what
are they there for? By-theway
South High street is still closed al
the will of the railroad and the new
depot is only in their minds-and we
seriously doubt if it was even ever

been about three cents less In Co
lumbia than Nashville. One million
bushels at three corts per bushel,
amounts to $4,000. Ninety thous-
and dollarssloss eUery year by excess
charges on one crop. Ninety thous-
and dollars less every year by the
wheat growers OF Maury county.
Ninety thousand dollars profit eUery
year by the Railroad Company, over
and above ali already exorbitant
profit made from the Nashville rate.
Now these figures are indisputa-
BILE and unanswerable. And in like
proportion the farmers of Maury
pay this overcharge on everything
they raise; and the merchants OF
Columbia pay this overcharge on all
they buy; and after all, "the people
pay the freight"
We are doing fairly we'll even un-
der these untoward conditions. But
there is no reason why we, as peo-
pie, should submit to this over
charge, year AFTER year, upon every
thing we eat or wear. buy or sell.
No reason under the sun why we
should pay this annual tribute to the
J.. d n, Railroad Co., over and above
what they should fairly ask.
The remedy Is another railroad,
An Independent line, free from the
embrace of the Railroad Trust
Built partly with home capital
partly upon borrowed capital. This
road can be built and can be made
to pay. There is enough business
here for two roads. II the public
would become interested in 1t and
talking about 1t. If the people
would get aroused and go to work
like they sometimes do at elections
if the business men of Mt. Pleasant
and Columbia would determine to
have it and go to work for it, the
new railroad would be built, and nc
power on earth could prevent it.
Now take the question home tC
your own individual self. You are
interested. What are you going tC
do about it? VIII you talk and talR

A GENEROUS RESPONSE.

The prompt, generous manner in
which the citizens of Columbia and
Maury county responded to the call
for aid, shows that this community
is not lacking in that noble virtue,
charity. In less than twenty.fors
hours after the storm, more than
$4,000 had been raised by the bust
less men for the relief of the suffer
ers, and this fund is steadily grow
ing. In addition to this, much has
been contributed through the Kings
Daughters and by private means,
and the wants of the needy will be
amply provided for.
The mass meeting at the court
house Wednesday afternoon was a
business meeting. The men who
met there were business men, and
they transacted affairs in business
manner. They realized the extent
of the awful calamity that had be.
fallen the city, and they were not
slow in giving literally of theii
means.
But with all that has been contrib
uted, more will be needed, and Il
goes without saying that sufficient
funds will be raised. Contribution
will be received at any of the banks
or newspaper offices, and it is urged
that all who expect to give will sent
in their cash at once.
Surely, such generous charity a
that displayed by the citizens o
Maury county on this occasion will
be fully rewarded.

MONEY SAVED is MONEY MADE.

All the talk we can do, all the
articles the Herald can print, will
accomplish nothing towards build
ing up Columbia, unless the bust
ness men of Columbia will become
enough interested in the future of
the town and county to make some
effort. We are not asking them to
make any effort for the public good;
however laudable the spirit of public
enterprise may be. We are not
asking them to make any effort for
the good of others; however praise
worthy that may be. What we are
appealing to is their own self
interest; and If we can once get
them tofully realize and appreciate
that, certainly as business men they
will do something.
The HERALD abbors a monopoly.
Why? Because a monopoly is al
WAYS run in the interest Of a few and
at the expense of the many. The
HERALD did not fight the local
management of the Cumberland
Telephone Co., as individuals or as
an enterprise. But we did fight the
Company as a moEopoly and be-
cause it was being run selflshly for a
few at the expense of and against
the interest, of the many. In like
manner and for the same reason we
are fighting the l.. & N. Railroad Co.
Not that we would if we could,
drive them out of the field or de-
prive them of a reasonable profit
from their business. But because
they are a monopoly, and as a
monopoly are not satisfied with
reasonable profits, but are ex-
turting unreasonable profits, from
the people of this town and county
And because as a rich and powerful
corporation, at all times and under
all circumstances and in every con-
ceivable manner they prevent the
development of this section Of our
state by opposing the building OF
any new aud competing lines OF
railroad.
What this monopoly, by its exorbi'
tant charges and preventive meth
DDS, has cost the people of Middle
Tennessee, is incalculable. What il
costs Maury county people every
year is magnificent fortune.
For illustration. There is no good
sound, business reason, why wheat il

Nashville IL located In the midst
Of "A territory traversed by all OF the
three great Southern systems OF rail-
road, the Southern, the Louisville d
Nashville and the Illinois Central.
IF there be an unOccupied section
OF this territory that neither of these
systems can be induced to enter,
1t is because upon investigation they
have determined 1t will not. pay.
If, then. others propose to stalk
where these great powers fear TO
tread, speculation alone prompts the
purpose. "-Nashvill American.
That is all very nicely put, but 1t
conveys false impression. The
great trunk lines mentioned have
not investigated this section and de-
termined that lit will not pay"
There Is a business unity between
these roads which prevents their
encroachiag upon each others terri
tory. ut will not pay the Illinois
Central to build into Middle Tonnes
see, because the l.. IL n. would then
retaliate by invading the territory Of
the Illinois Central. To that extent
we are willing to admit that they
have investigated and found that il
will pay them better to let each
other alone.
But the argument that new line
of railroad running into Nashville
would not pay, presupposes that the
l.. & n. would continue to dc all the
business; very violent superstition
indeed In the first place, new
road would develop new business.
Mt. BaXter's proposed road from
Florence to Nashville would bring
into the market primeval forests
great hills OF coal and iron and phos-
phate, to say nothing of farming
lands now inaccessible and unprofi

ness it would take from the L & n
enough business "to pay"
The people of Nashville and sur.
rounding counties have been de
ceived for twenty years by the false
hope that the Illinois Central or the
Southern would build into this terri
tory. And at times when the people
would become over restless, one o.
the systems would make feint al
