TllURSDAY, DEC. 5, 1895. TXAT RAIL ROAD MEETING. Pursuant to notice some of the stockholders of the Easley and Pickons railroad met Saturday in the office of the Clerk of the Court. The JOURNAL representa tive was not present at the open ing of the meeting and cannot say whether it was opened with prayer or not, anyhow President J. E. Boggs had the floor and was talking out in meeting. Aftor mak ing substantially the same propo sition which was recently publish ed in the county papers, ho went on to elucidate it in a very calm and oonfident manner. He said among other things that an in pression was out that there was some speculation in viow' in re gard to his proposition. He dis claimed any knowledge or inten tion to that effect, but that he was out $1,100 in monoy for hotel bill, railroad fares, etc., in making trips for the railroad company and other business. He spoke clearly and olaborato ly about the propsed bond of in demnity, to be signed by citizen addressed some time ago in his open letter through tho county press and admitted the improba bility of an effort to stay by in 3unction the issue of the townshil bonds, as a heavy bond wou< be necessary in such a case, an the township bonds would have t be issued if the railroad was buil according to oontraet. He said the he could not afford to take th risk, whiek waLs the contingenc of a lawsuit on the issue of tli bonds. He said that J. I. Boggs andi 3'. Grandy were the survivin members of the railroad construt tion company. That the constru< tion company was in possession< the first mortgg bonds on tli railroad, amounting to $63,00 which had been in the possessio of Mr. Lekhart, and that it too P8000 to clear up the Burkhialti claim. The $68,000 mortgage bon will coot the railroad companflh P8000 and not a cent outside < that was necessary. He explained that all mot an cancelled the origin al contract wit Mr. Burkhalter and authorized thI first mortgage bonds, that 1i Burkhalter then owned a majorit of* the stock, having 380 sharoi He maid that he would turn ovc the $63,000 in first mortgage bond for $3,000 in township bends Whether that was done or not, h would continue to work for th sompletion of the railroad. H Itated that he had had most care n1l estimates of the expenses ani ncome from operating the road 'bd the largest put the expense ait $8000 per annum andthe incom it $5,000, making a clear p)rofit ti the operators of $2,000 a year. Thie object of the meeting wa M get signers to th~e bond of o ndemnity. That when the mon ny was due and it had to come ii uould be ruinous to him anp if,it hat event the issue of bonds wai lelayed, unless he was protected >y the bond. In answer to 0. E. Robinson's Loestion, he said the construction :ompany. would get the profits of 'perating the railroad, but could iot better afford to take the risk of he contingency of a lawsuit, than itizens interested in the building -i' the railzoad. Ho said he Was willing, in case he signers had to pay anything, 6 4,rn the road over to them and hithem own it. He said he was say anyway. So nothing being diOi8 the meeting adjourned sine Ohal ,P MeCtary shot and in sti e k114William Turner, a )X1ndshM, at Waihalla,' on was in Ii. p. it~he Reeublioan party ThiA is no surprise to the country g4i should some of his aiders and abettors . in his recent political manuvers follow, him nobody vould weep, and it would be the consistent course for them to take. Dr. Pope has allowed himself to become a puppet for wire pullern and does not deserve the conder nation he is now receiving; the real sinners should have justice meted out to them. The Dr. has not gone to stay, he cannot stand monotony, but will flap about and get back to Irby and his other old political friends. The Wi-doui of Reforn. Noah Webster, many years ago, assorted that the tendency of our language toward simplicity in its orthography should be sedulous ly cultivated; and ho illustrated his belief in this sentiment by in corporating in his dictionary the simple terminations or, ic, or, etc., in place of our, ick, ro, etc., be sides many other changes which did not follow definite rules. (One needs only to go over to our pub lic library to find magazines pub lished ip the '50's giving such words as honour, musick and con tre.) Since the days of Webster other changes have gradually been made, and we may now have the satisfaction of knowing that our American orthography is simpler, bettor and more forceful than that used in Great Britain. If, by simplifying our spelling, we can save time and money, make easier the progress of our children in education, and accom phsh imore work in a given time than by the old system, then a re form is certainly wise. Tho new spelling proposed at the session of the National Editorial Associatior is, indeed the "thin wedge" which in time, will prepare tho way foi more radical reform, so that oui children's children, if not oul own, may escape a goodly part o the heavy burden with which thei fathers were handicappod at thi very entrance to the templo o knowledge. The reforms proposoi are: First. Drop the no at the end o hko dialogue, catalogue, etc., whor the preceding vowel is short. Thu 1 Spell domagog, opilog, synago 3 etc. When tho procoding vowel i t long, as in prorogue, voguo, disem1li bogue, retain final lotters as a prosont. 0 Second. i)rop final o in sue] y words as definito, infiiito, favoritt e etc., whore the p)rocedmng voweli short. Thus spell olpposit, prIotor it, hypocrit., requisit, etc. Whmei -the precoding vowel islong, as i 9.I 0ROI)nt formsi unchanged. ..IThird. D~rop finual to ini wVord lik qiurtotto, coquotte, cigarottic etc. Th'us spell cigaret, roset, ep~ 0 au11lot, vedlet, gazet, etc. ), Vourth. Drop final me in word. a liko pro~grammmo. Thlus spell pro k gramn, oriflam , gramn, etc. Fifth. Change 1ph to f in wordi r l ik phlanutoml, tolographi phas~e, etc d1 Thus spol alfabeiiCi t, paragrafI, fi los y ofy, fonetic, fotogra f, etc. ,C Sixth. Substitute o for the dip thongs a' and o~ whenm they hav( the sound of that latter. Th'lm El spll colian, osthotic, diarrhea, sub Ii penasofagus, athrneum, etc. o N. 1B.-No chanmge in propo names.
