SALE OF THE STATE ROAD

The special Atlanta correspondent
OF The Savannah Press states that
the railroads are busy hauling dirt
and clearing the right of way for the
purp Sc of building an independent
limo from Chattanooga to Gainesville.
Ultimately the link from Gainesville
to Marietta will be finished and then
there is an open, independent route
virtually paralleilng the State road
from Chattanooga to Atlanta There is
no law against the construction of
such a line, even if it does divert
business from the Western and At
lantic. That was all threshed out when
Colonel Cole extended the Memphis
s4.d Charleston from Chattanooga to
Atlanta.
But If the new line is built, and all
signs point that way, there will be
three separate railroads from Chatta-
nooga to the capital of Georgia, a
distance of $50 miles or more. It is
easy to see thatin this mix-up the
value of the State road will be less.
Last year when this matter was
brought to the attention of the gen.
eral assembly. The Savannah Press
advocated the sale of the State road.
Of course, il can only be sold sub
ject to the lease, The State road
should rent for at least $4,000 a
month, which is the amount which
the Louisville and Nashville and the
Coast Line pay for the Georgia road
The State road is much more vaIu-
able than the Georgia road, and ye,
it only rents for $35,OOOa month. II
the State road were sold the indebt-
edness of Georgia could be paid of
in thrice, or as fast as the bonds
become due, This would save the in
terest and have tendency to reduce
taxation in Georgia Many of those
who opposed the sale of the states
property in the last legislature die
so because they pretended to believe
that the money would be frittereG
away just as the proceeds Of thC
other property funds was by the va
rious state governments.
We do not share in this fear, how
ever, because the State road is pledged
to pay the bonds ard the propert,
Guild be paid for by the purchaser
securlng and rendering Georgia state
bonds in payment
At all events the state has reached
thu parting of the ways. We mus
either sell the property or be pre-
pared to extend it to the sea. Bills (,
that effect were introduced in tn
last legislature and will probably max
their appearance in the next. Tn
people along the line want the roac
sold because the various lessees of tb
Western and Atlantic take no step
to improve the property or to develop
the country along the line, -Sayannal

Rev. J. A. Hainsr Speaks TO Men at the
Y. NJ. C. A,

The sickness OF the one announced to
speak yesterday afternoon at the Y. NJ. c.
A. caused his absence and Rev. j. A.
Hainer. pastor OF the Pearl street, Bap-
tist church. delivered the address to men,
Mr.. Colder read the scripture and Mr.
Brooks offered prayer.
Mr.. Hainers address was In part some
what as follows:
I want to speak for a little. time from a
very old subject. The chapter, part OF
which was read duke 15.1-10), Ia called
the lost chapter" because II deals with
the lost sheep. the lost piece OF money.
and the lost boy. wish to speak on the
twentieth verse: And he arose and came
TO his father. But when he was yet n
great way or. his father saw him. and
had compa ssion and ran and fell on his
neck. and kissed him"
You notice. I'm the greeting, the father
uses the functions OF his being: He saw.
used his eyes; he had compassion, used
his heart; he ran. used his feet; he fell on
his neck used his arms, and he kissed
him, used his lips.
In these three parallels. the first deals
with the loss OF one hundredth of the
property. the second with that OF one
tenth. and the third with that OF one
value. They are also climatic in moral
value. in sentimental value. Necklaces
consisted OF ten pieces OF silver, and they
were Of the same significance as wed
