AN ADVERSE REPORT.

fuses 10 sanction "a Railway Plan.

1uses 10 SANCTION huiiWhy ran.
seuator Mcmillan, of the Senate Commit
tee on the District OF Columbia, has sub
mftted an adverse report on Senate bill
LIB. This bill authorized the Falls
Church and Potomac Railway Company to
extend its line within the District
The arguments advanced by the street
railway company in behalf of the bill is that
permission to enter the city of Washington
with its line would accommodate a large
and populous district in Virginia, that IL
would render new homes available TO the
people of Washington in a healthful and
delightful suburb. and open a new line for
excursion and pleasure riding during the
warm months OF the year.
The chief objections to the project are
that the streets of the city are already suf-
iicieniiy occupied with railways, that the
road in question already has an entrance
into the city over competing line. with
which arrangements for transfer might be
made, and that the application of every
street railway to enter the city which may
be made cannot be favorably considered

Railroad.

The proposed railroad from
Vicksburg through Canton to
the Alabama coal aud iron fields
alluded to in former issue Of the
TINES, is in our opinion, a good
movement for our town. We
know there are those Of contrary
opinions, and many are apatheuc
on the subject. Let us consider
from a practical and beneficial
standpoint, whether or not, we
should have this road. There is
no question but what railroads
benefit a town and community,
This is question it is useless to
discuss, for the benefits are too
apparent. Now if one road is an
advantage, every additional one
is equally profitable. Remove
our present road, and every lot III
Canton, and acre Of land in Mad
ison county, would fan in value
80 per cent. Bring another and
additional roads here, and the
same properties would increase
25 per cent with every additional
road. There is not a property
owner in the town or county, but
what should be aroused on this
issue 1t would cheaper freight
rates by competition, especially
by our near position to the Mis-
sissippi river at Vicksburg and
water transportation. 1t would
bring more people and more
trade, because the merchants
could sell cheaper, thus benefit
ing the people at large, aside
from the increased value of their
property. 1t would reduce
freight rates on cotton, aud the
merchant could give the farmer
mere for it. How it could hurt
Canton, we are unable to see. 1t
is true, little depots would be put
up on the line, and possibly "a
few sto1 es woulb be located at
them, but coutd not injure Canton
more than is already the case
now by large country stores.
How much has Ways Bluff and
Calhoun stations, north aud south
of Canton, injured her trade?
None at all People would come
from a distance, both ways, to
Canton to trade. because Of the
large and varied stocks in Can
ton, and because her merchants,
buying in larger quantities.
could offer better bargains. We
might have had the Yazoo and
Durant branches by proper eff
forts, which would have made |
our town twice what it is. y |
road through the territory pro |
posed, will certainly be built |
either from Jackson or from |
Vicksburg, and if we are
wise we will have it from Nicks- |
burg. We can not understand /
why the people of that city are
not being interested in this road. |
We will discuss this subject again |
next week and call u meeting Of |
our people.

NOTHING LIKE HAVING ENOUGH.

New York Evening Sun According to
one young woman's experience it is not
exactly wise to have a decided fondpass

konW about it. In her case, somehow,
most of her friends had grasped the fact
tnat she was partial to fried ham. She
dld like it once in a While for breakfast.
but she little realized how wearis1,se too
much Of any good thing may become. nor
now J%ubilant the tired hOusekeepe. is
when she discovers some favorite dish 10
when in doubt. She was going out to the
suburbs for a few days, and before she
left she had a delicious slice of fried nam
served for her breakfast.
Because / know how fond you are OF
ham, explained the old friend. with
whom she boards The young woman was
pleased by the thoughtful little attention
and ate With a thankful spirit.
1t was near luncheon time when the
young woman arrived at her suburban
destination. AS she went to the table, the
faint aroma of fried ham someWher in
the culinary regions greeted her.
1t is such a comfort to know what YOU
like said her hostess. Il knew I couldn't
fail to please you if l had fried ham for
luncheon The young woman smiled still
pleased with the thoughtfulness and with
fried ham.
That night she had promised 10 dine
with the young married friend who lives
IN the same suburb and who is tackling
household problems and the suburbs and
the domestic service problem all at one
and the same time.
Yes, I'm without a maid again and Tn
so glad to see you," the young house,
keeper enthused. At Inner she served
fried ham.
1T is so hard to know what to have to
eat these days and 1 remember your old
fDnInpSS - Sha go ia -, anvil, I,
so 1t went on until to the young
Woman's mind the future seemed one long
procession of meals, three a day, with
fried ham as their chief constituent. The
crushing blow came with her first meal
back in her boarding place.

Till your return, because we knew how
fond you are Of it," said her kind old

DREDGED FOR A CHEST OF GOLD.

Savannah (Ga.) Cor. New Orleans
Tlmes-Dem: A chest alleged to contain
5000 in gold is a prize that a big dredge
has been looking for in the Savannah
river along the new Georgia Terminal
company's docks, where she has been at
work for some weeks on a channel along
the Seaboard Company's new wharf.
According to the story, the Confederate
troops who evacuated Savannah when
sherman came, or a part of them at least,
crossed the Savannah river and went over
into Carolina. In their haste a chest, said
to have contained $13, 900 In gold, was
dropped into the river somewhere near
the city, and though search was made for
1t afterWard no trace of it was ever found.
Though the Babcock has not found the
gold, she has demonstrated that there is
such a thing as treasure in the river bed.
