The new DEPOT.
Called Meeting Of the Board Held
Saturday Night
To Take Further Action on the Mat
ter-counter Proposition
Submitted.

Another step toward securing that
new passenger depot for Columbia was
taken Saturday night at a special meet
ing Of the Board of Mayor and Alder
men. Last spring. when depot talk
had reached its highest point. the L. &
N. railroad made the city of COlumbis
a proposition to build depot here 10
cost with improvements. something
like $75, O00 provided the city complied
with certain conditions, published in
the Herald at the time. No definite
action had ever been taken on this
proposition by either the former Board
or the present one, as the conditions
named were not acceptable to the city
taxpayers.
Conditions have changed somewhat,
and recently optional control was OBJ
tanned on most of the property needed
for the railroad improvements and for
the new streets to be built. In view
of these changed conditions the Board
met Saturday night and formulated a
counter proposition, which, after. its
adoption, was forwarded to President
Smith of the l.. and N. railroad.
Under the new proposition the rail
road is to carry out the plans and speci-
fications named in the original PROPOSE
ton for the erection of the depot build
ing and improvements. In addition,
the railroad is to erect twelve-foot
viaduct over the South High street
crossing for foot travel. This viaduct
is to be substantial iron structure
and is to be maintained by the rail-
road. The railroad is to build the
approaches to this bridge. and the city
is to maintain them. The city is to
open the new street from Garden to
South Main street, and is to extend
Twelfth street to South Main, while
the railroad is to macadamize and
pave them and build substantial walks
for the protection of abutting property
wherever the level of the street is
lower than the AUDITING property.
South Main street is to tunnel under
the railroad, rs in the original PROPOSE
ticn.
The cost to the city for the purchase
OF property used for street purposes is
not to exceed $40, 600, and this money,
or SO much of it as may be needed, is
to be loaned to the city by the railroad
company without interest. and to be
paid back from taxes hereafter to
become due the city by the railroad, as
they accrue.
THE CITY rs TO TAKE CARE OF
ALL INCIDENTAL DAMAGES TO |
AUDITING PROPERTY HOLDERS. |
The city does not bind herself to
furnish a sewage system. The rail
road is allowed to dispose of the depot
sewage in such manner as not to
violate the state, county or corporate
sanitary laws.
The Mayor and others of the Board
express the hope that the railroad
officials will take action on the propo-
sition and send it back to Columbia i n
time for next Thursday nights meet
ing of the Board, and if that is done
work may be begun by April first.

Following Convictions.

The Nashville American quotes with
approval that portion of Mr.. Bryan y
speech at Boston in which he COM
mended moral courage and praised
Senator's Hoar's action in opposing
imperialism. The American uses this
sentiment as text for rebuking those
who criticised the democratic papers
which left the democratic party in 1896
and 1900 The American adds that
this has been Mr.. Bryan's position on
the subject for years. 1t is true that
Mr.. Bryan has held and still holds that
it is the duty of every one to follow
his convictions, and he has never
criticised those who left the democratic
party because of their convictions He
makes distinction, however between
those who followed their convictions
and those who were under the secret
control of corporate interests and
spoke not as they thought, but as
they were commanded.
If the editor of the American will
examine the list of prominent demo-
Gratis who left the democratic party
in 96 many of whom have since
openly joined the republican party,
he will be convinced that in many
cases it was not matter of conscience
hat a matter of occupation. They were
employed by, or interested in, corpora
tions which live by government
favoritism and enjoy special privileges
to which they have no moral, and
should have no legal, right. Many of
the democratic papers which left the |
democratic party in 1896 and have |
since that time given more space to
the abuse of democrats than to the
criticism Of republican policies-many
Of these papers are published in the
interest of great business enterprises
which absolutely contol the editorial
policy, not in the interest Of any party,
but to aid or protect the investments
Of banks, railroads, street car lines or
Of that Kind. Many rail
road and corporation attorneys have

professional services, and instead ct

would seem. whatever else he may
desire No matter how lOwly his
origin, he may take a front place IN
Society. The so-called -Four
Hundred is made mp very largely of
men and women whose ancestors of
two or three generations back were as
obscure as Ignorance and poverty could
make them. Having acquired vast
wealth, mostly by questionable
methods. they are now admitted with
gladness to the most select and ex-
elusive circles.
Our Mr.. Schwartz. head man of the
steel trust and chief lieutenant of

Europe. Even his gambling at Monte
Carlo is cabled back home, and be-
comes the text for innumerable
editorials. He has had audience with
princes. The emperor of Austria well
coined him. and King Edward gave
him an interview of nalf an hour at
Marlborough House. We fear the
effect of all these things on the rising
generation. There is grave danger
that our aspiring young men will be
inoculated with the spirit of the times,
and lose sight of that better inheri-
lance which billions of gold cannot
buy, the inheritance of simple mind
and an upright character. We are not
inclined just now to become the
eulogist of poverty. Total inability
to accumulate a competent estate is
not an infallible sign of piety. Every |
man ought to seek, by all lawful and |
honorable means, to achieve his finan |
cial independence, that he may be the |
freer to act without constraint from |
any quarter. But achieving financial |
independence is one thing, and worship |
ing wealth and what wealth can buy is |
quite another thing. 1t is this latter |
folly against which we enter our
protest. The greed of gain is the death
