view to what he thinks to be his own interest. If you ask me when ]
 believe an equilibrium will be reached and confidence restored, I say frankly that don't know. The patient is now undoubtedly under treatment that will prove efficacious in the end but the question still remains whether the disease may not prove very seri- ous before the corrective treatment gets the upper hand.
 Mind, do not lay all, the blam on the public, or even on the politi. clans. The railroad men themselves are to blame for a great deal of what has happened, and they ought to rec ognize it at this time, when they have their own worries with them. IT the railroad men of the United States mad learned to trust each other years ago 9 great deal of what has been sui fered would have been avoided. There was time when they had the right to make agreements covering traffic and rates, but what was the result? An agreement was hardly made be- fore somebody whom it bound issued an order violating it's provisions. That sort of thing was the root of destruc- tive competition. and subjected the railroads to much of tae trouble that they have suffered since in being made the victims of any one who wanted to build an unnecessary com petitive line for the purpose of selling it out.
 T am not opposed to railroad regu- lation, provided it is coupled with railroad protection. Long ago I ex- pressed the view that regulation evenI to the point of allowing the InterstateI Commerce Commission to fix the
Bisbee daily review., 1908-03-29

rates, was not to be combated, pro Vided the Government would allow
 the roads to make agreements with each other through the repeal of the sherman law. The protection or the public in the making of such agree ments is the degree of publicity now insisted upon in respect of other rail road affairs, and of that I am heartily in favor. Sensible regulation, protec- tion of the railroads against uaneces- sary competition, and publicity are 1n my mind the three things that will ses the railroads right with the people Tn the end. But, meanwhile, the men who have the responsibilities of the railroads on their shoulders must keep to their task and not give them over into incompetent hands. There Il be no trouble about training up the men to run the railroads in the next generation if the proper conditions and discipline are established.
 And will there be the work to do, if confidence is restored and the prop CT relationships established? or course there will. There is as great a possibility of growth ahead of the railroads fin the next ten years if only we go at it rightly. Within the lifetime of some of our children the population of ths country no doubt will have reached 100000, 900, and the system of American railroading that has developed to meet the needs of SO,OOO,OOO of people is in it's infancy. But, as have said. the self-seeker has got to be eliminated and the peo- pie at large have got to come to an appreciation of the underlying rela- tionships of the factors in the prob lem. When those two things are in process of accomplishment it will be time enough to talk about retiring.

Rural Hill Items.


AS We have not seen anything
from this section in quite a while.
we will try to give you few items
as best we can.
We will take the crops as our sub
lject. They are looking fairly well
up to this time. especially the corn
crop. While the acreage is small,
/ the prospects are good for a good
yield. So far as it goes, the cotton
crop is very small, not in acreage,
but in the size of weed. The peo-
pie have had a terrible fight with
but they are about to conquer him
at last. A few more such days as
we are having now and most all of
the grass will be a thing of the past
If we can get rain to suit our crops,
we will make good crop after all.
Our crops are not suffering now.
Enough about the crop question. as
we are not making a crop report.
We did not think we would say
anything about the all-day singings:
we think there has been too much
said in the way it has been said, as
we believe in them. Do away with
singing, and you had just about as
well do away with churches. As to
the all-day singings being picnics, we
will always get out of anything
just what we put in it. If the Cal
edonia writer would put himself in
the song service he would not see so
much of the outside devilment that
is going on. If we have no interest
in anything we cant expect anything
out of it. There is an all-day sing
ing today at Friendship church in
Alabama, and there will be one next
Sunday at Mt. Vernon school house
in the Dow neighborhood, at which
time there will be good singing and
a good dinner and good behavior, as
has always been that way, and we
invite Brother Thixton over to the
singing and also Venice" from Mill
port. As to empty church houses,
it is like the Artesia writer says:
Poor preaching causes that a heap

some of you call them, call them

THE COUNCILS POSITION.

The position which the City Coun-
Gil has taken in its dealings with the
Aberdeen e. TOmbigbee Valley Rail-
road has been liberal one, and in
all of the expressions of opinion
which this paper has heard we have
still to hear one criticism Of the
members of that body.
The first proposition which was
submitted to the members was that
the depot should be located near the
present NJ. & o. passenger depot, but
the idea of mercilessly sacrificing
a prosperous section of the city and
monopolizing important thorough
fares to reach this one spot was dis
approved, as it ought to have been,
by the members of the Council at
once. To have agreed to this prop
osition would have involved the rail-
road and city in endless litigation,
and every cent of the fifty thousand
dollars voted for depot and terminal
purposes would have been spent
without attaining the purposes for
Wul1u IL was IuLGnu60s
The Council wisely refused to con-
slider any such gift, and offered the
road better depot and terminal facil-
tiles in East Columbus, the right of
way to which would cost nothing like
that to the othe site. In this the
members of the Council carried out
to the letter the spirit of the law
voting the bonds, that fifty thousand
dollars, or so much thereof as was
necessary, be spent for this purpose.
In adopting this new site the mem
bers of the Council saved the useless
condemnation of valuable property
and saved to the people and tax-pay-
ers many thousand dollars of the
fifty thousand voted.
In the matter of right of way
through Twenty fourth street, it
seems to us that the Council has done
the right and proper thing. This site
seems a better one than the Twenty
second street route, involves less
property, is easier constructed, there
are less curves and grades, and in
all respects the route voted the road
is an excellent one. And in agree
ing to arbitrate the value of the
Marx and Heard addition. which was
run through, an arrangement which
the members of the Council approv-
ed, it seems that the Council offered
an equitable, fair and right basis of

il It like other people. for the money
that is In it, and they cannot expect
people along the line to give with
out adequate compensation valuable
rights of way. Then it is well to
understand this early in the season
that if the building of the rroad is
dependent upon the free gifts Of the
people along its line, it is we'll for
the work to stop right now, for the
road can never be built eexept upon
a solid financial basis.
We sincerely hope and trust that
the owners of the road will find a
way out Of their present difficulties,
although at the present time and
with financial conditions as they are
it looks doubtful if they will. Unless
they have the road amply financed
upon a solid basas it is well to stop
the work right now, to save financial
embarrassment TO all concerned.

THE ABERDEEN & TOMBIGBEE
VALLEY RAILROAD.

The stopping of work on the Aber-
deem & Tombigbee Railroad just at
this particular time is unfortunate.
especially after the assurances which
have been so abundantly put forth
in Aberdeen that the road had all
of the money wanted. and that it
would certainly be built. The cessa-
tion of all operations causes loss of
confidence IN the enterprise, and it
looks now like the whole scheme
will fall fiat, especially if the reason
assigned is true that the promoters
are compelled to suspend for lack of
funds for right of way, which the
people along the line are asking.
But If the present owners of the
franchise are building the line with
the expectation that the people all
along the line are going to fall down
and give innumerable grants to the
road free and without compensation,
it is Just as well that the work should
stop now before the affairs of the
company are any further involved.
