ELECTRIC RAILWAY.
Eastern Capitalists Interesting
South Pittsburg in a System.

SOUTH PITTSBURG, Tenn,
Jan. "a. 6. Davis, representing
Pittsburg, Chicago and Boston cap.
italists, has been here for the past
several days interesting the people in
an electric railway which he and his
associates propose to build between
the towns of Bridgeport, Ala, Jasper
and So. Pittsburg. The board of
Mayor and aldermen of this place
last night granted the necessary
rights of way over the streets and
alleys of South Plttsburg, and the
county court is expected at its next
session to give the necessary rights
over the county roads. The com
pany has figured on erecting a man.
moth power house at this place, and
say that in addition to furnishing
power for the operation of their road
they will install electric lights in all
three of the towns should the peo.
pie so desire, and also furnish power
for small industries which will be e.
rected should they get the rights for
which they are asking in this and
Jackson counties, Ala. Mr.. Davis
says his company has command of
unlimited capital to push these enter
prises to a successful completion in
side of year. Work will begin on
the road within sixty days after the
final grants of rights of way are CIV
en-. The road is expected to do a
general freight and passenger busl.
ness. 1t will skirt the mountain
touching all the undeveloped coal
and timber properties which are not
reached by the Nashville, Chatta-
nooga 81 st. Louis railway. They
also intend to develop the defunct
town of Klmbal, three miles from
here. 1t is said that the owner of
Kimbal has sold to them and that
the first payment has been made
thereon. A new survey will at once
be made and the town plated for
streets aud parks. Several large iron
making industries will be located
The Klmbal property contains an IN
exhaustible supply of good coking
coal. New mines will be opened
and worked to their full capacity
One hundred coke ovens will be built
and other improvements made COM
mensurate with the good of the place
and everything possible will be done
to establish the town on permanent
basis. They say no boom is antici'
pated, as all money needed is availa.

We have received from Mrs. L. A.

give some startling information regard
ing the temperature there. Tempera-
ture varying from 10 to 80 degrees be-

mail clerks on the Central Vermont R.

the railway station thermometer regis
tered 60 degrees below zero, ami that at
White River Junction the same author.

CONDEMN EQUALLY.

Editor News.
Through the columns of the
News | wish TO commend the
stand taken by the Statesman.
Democrat and the South Pitts
burg Hustler in regard to the ap.
preparation made by the county
Court to Superintendent D. A.
Tate as to salary for the years 1903
and 1904 Almost everyone is of
the opinion that $4,000 is too
much Tor the services rendered.
Other counties oflike size and pop
ulation as a rule pay their superin>
tendents $3.50 to $3.50.
The said papers started in th
right direction but they fell down
before they hardly got started good.
Why didn't they when they were
on the subject of paying 100 much
to county officials take up the ap-
preparation of the County Court to
the clerk for making out the tax
books? Their political blindness
must have caused them to stumble.
The general opinion Of those who
are familiar with the work attach
ed to making out the tax books is
that $4,000 is ample paw for the
work The court appropriated
$500. 1t seems that the Snperin-
ttndent has been paid about twice
what his services are worth and
that the County Court Clerk has
been paid about three times what
his services are worth, aud the two
newspapers that claim they are
looking after the interest of the
common people generally condemn
the lesser OF two wrongs, and why?
Oh for an independent newspaper
that would deal with these ques.
tions impartially, regardless of poll
itics and in the interest Of the peo-
pie and taxpayers! AS it is their
double CO 'umn editorials are of no
weight. Put another alongside
showing up both sides, and it viii
do good.
1t might be said that there is
more reason in making the super
perintendant's salary $4,000 than
allowing the Clerk $4,000 for ma
king out the tax book because any
one with ordinary education and
ability can make out the tax book
while it takes a highly educated
person to be a superintendent
The County Court Clerk receives
other revenues from his Office
winch is as mucn If not more than
the amount appropriated by the
Court, while the Superintendent
receives no other revenues from hil
Office to amount to anything,
Respectfully,

Matter Is Arranued.

Several days ago Gov. Frazier receiv-
ed communication from J. H. Fl. Boyd
of Gage, Tenn; and several of tho lat
ter's friends, appealing to the Governor
to reverse decision made by Prof.
Martin, State Entomologist, against the
latter's fruit trees. Mr.. Boyd is in the
nursery business, dealing principally
in ornamental trees and fora. Accord
ing to Mr.. Boyd some states require du-
plicate certificates to be filed with the
inspectors before dealer can ship trees
into such states, He says that the
State Entomologist in 1901, issued him
certificates late in December when they
should have been issued before Nov. 1.
In l903 Boyd says, Prof. Martin came
on time and issued him his certificate.
He had forgotten his duplicate book,
but promised in the presence of four
witnesses to send the duplicate as soon
as he returned to Nashville. After
Prof. Martin did return, however, Mr..
Boyd alleges he refused to send the du-
plicates unless paid So more. When
Mr.. Boyd refused to do this he says
Prof. Martin notified inspectors of other
States that his products were badly dis
eased.
As a matter Of fact Mr.. Boyd is some
what mistaken in his complaint, as
Prof. Martin had no other recourse un-
der the law to act otherwise than he
did. However, on last Wednesday af-
ternoon, Prof. Martin and Gou. Frazier
had consultation in regard to the mat
ter, and it was arranged TO grant MIR.
Boyd relief at onoe.-Nashville Ameri-

looking to the establishment of a school
here under the direction and super
vision of the Church of Christ.
These men had visited several towns
in Missouri and had a good PROPOSE
tiOn from Sedalia, but they decided
that the moral aud religious conditions
of Odessa and vicinity were far abcT\
any town they had visited, so E pre- gu
sition was made to our people to I" u
$4,000 with which to buy the uol
college building here and the Chte.pai
of Christ would erect an entirely new
building, dormItory, etc.
Men who are known for their public
spiritedness took the situation in one
hand and subscription paper IN the
other and in less than two days had
the $4,000 made up.
The head men of the proposed new
school have accepted the money and
will begin shortly to enlarge the college
building They enter into an agree.
ment to open the school with sixty
foreign pupils and faculty of eight.
