WriEhtsViIIe and Tennille Road
Seeking Permission 10 Build.


Dublin, Ga, Feb. 24.-At the regular
monthly meeting of the directors of the
Wrightsville and Tennille Railroad on
Friday last, a resolution was passed ask
ing the City Council of Dublin to petition
the Railroad Commission 10 allow them
to build a new passenger depot in Dublin.
Ii seems strange that a railroad is put
to this necessity but It is explained in
this WISE
Some months since the city authorities
Of Dublin brought action before the Rail-
road Commission to compel the Wrights~
Vile and Tennille and Macon. Dublin ana
Savannah Railroads to erect new depots
in this city. Prior 90 that time negotia-
tons We're pending between the two roads
looking to. the erection of union depot,
but no satisfactory agreement could be
arrived at.
In its answer before the Railroad Com
mission the Wrghtsville and Tennile road
admitted that its depot in Dublin was not
IN keeping with the magnitude and i'm
portance of the city and submitted blue
prints of a proposed new depot which it
was ready to construct the Macon, Dub
lin and Savannah road fought the case,
contending that Its Dublin terminals We're
ample, etc. An order was issued by the
Railroad Commission for the Macon. Dub
lin and Savannah road to build a new de-
pot within ninety days and for the
Wrightsvlle and Tennille road not to build
at all until further orders. As the
depot of the former was much better than
the one used by the latter, this action
upon The part of the Railroad Commits
sion was considered rather queer but was
accepted as par evidence of the intention
of that body to force, if possible the
erection of a union depot, it being reason
able to suppose that the Macon, Dublin
and Savannah Road would rather assist
i'm building than in going TO the expense
necessary to construct one of it's own.
The Macon, Dublin and Savannah Road
did not build within the time limit, but
got extensions from date to date and con-
sequently more than a year has passed
and still no depot. At last the officials
of the Wrightsville and Tennille Road
grew tired of waiting hence on Fridty
last asked the City Council to help them
get permission to build depot In Dublin
This is probably the only instance on
record where a railroad was forced to sue
through a municipal body for authority
from the Railroad Commission to improve
its depot facilities

THE PEOPLE WIN OUT.
HOSansviIle Has Young Lady POST
mistress.

mistress.
Atlanta, Feb. 25.-Visitors from Hogans-
vile to the city to-day are highly elated
that the long boycott of the people of that
place against the local postoffice has been
ended by the appointment of Miss Flora
Jones TO succeed Isaiah II. Loftin, the
negro who was formerly postmaster there
Loftin's appointment was made over the
powerful protest of the people and the
Georgia congressional delegation. From the
moment of his undertaking the duties of
the office strict boycott was maintained
against him, and instead of the $1,000 a
year which the position should pay, it is
improbable that Loftin made one-fiftieth
of that sum out of it. The department
tried every method of forcing the inhab-
itants TO paronize the office but the
shrewdness of the people each time sug-
gested some way out of the dilemma and
up to the time of his departure a few
weeks ago, hardly more than a dozen let
ters from or to Cautasians had passed
through Loftin's hands He was shot
from ambush one evening as he was leav-
ing his residence, and although every eff
fort was made to prove that ssassination
was intended, no success resulted
Loftin now holds a subordinate position
in one of the departments at Washing
ton.
The incoming of Miss Jones, who is
highly respected, will doubtless put af-
fairs on the same plane they occupied be-
fore Loftin's appointment. Much relief and
rejoicing is eVinced over the news of the
change.

The frontspece of Scribner's Magazine
for March drawn by Bernard Partridge
shows the ingenious Tommy in a very
critical situation which he has brought
about by his own cleverness. The lead
ing article of the number is II. J. Wing
HAMS second article on the Boer War,
this one dealing with the fights made by
Lord Methuen's division in its progress
from the Orange river to the Modder
river. Mr. Whigham describes three bat
ties, and this is the first continued mag
azine account of that campaign to be pub
lished. His own photographs and his own
maps make perfectly clear to the general
reader what has heretofore appeared
as merely fragments of news in the daily
press. The strategy, as well as the ad-
venture of the campaign, appear clearly in
Mr. Whigham's writings. This number
contains an article, New York at Night"
by James B. Darlington showing what can
be done with camera in reproducing night
scenes in a great city. The illustrations
are chosen from a series OF night photo
graphs made during several years, and
they represent those picturesque scenes,
many of them taken on dark, and rainy
nights, which are familiar to all New
Workers, but are here for the first time re-
produced photographically. Mr.. Caring

of the same scenes. Charles Scribners'
