Featurea of Elbert County.
Elbert county vindicates fully her
high nomenclature and is every way
worthy of being called the banner coun
ty of Northeast Georgia. In politics, in
statesmanship, in commerce and the
arts, as well as in all the professional
and social relationships, she has ever
ranked among the foremost counties of
the State. Her name and her fame, her
prolific resources and exalted worth,
have gone abroad throughout the land
in recognised and undisputed superiori
ority. Elberton is the fairest of all the
fair towns of the State —a bright and
peerless gem in the diadem of beauty.
Her people are refined and cultivated,
her schools and churches surpass even
those of larger towns; while, from a
business standpoint, the reputation of
our merchants, dealers, manufacturers,
and artisans are regarded as excelsior.
Our county is in a most beauteous,health
ful and delightful region, with soil as
fruitful in all the elements essential to
the wants of man as any upon which the
sun of heaven ever cast his beams. She
has an atmospheric temperature ordina
narily pure and transparent,elastic and in
vigorating. Springs, rivulets, and streams
intersect the valleys and go rippl'-ng
at the base of. undulating hills, inviting
the traveler and the passer by to pause
and slake his thirst in their sparkling
waters. Of the material elements of our
prosperity we scarcely need spCkk. The
agricultural resources of our county are
unlimited, and the developments in the
Way of improvements, everywhere visi
ble, indicate unmistakably the well-di
rected energies of our people. Untamed
forests have given way to the wants and
needs of husbandry. Highways have
been opened through and to the remot
est limits of our geographical area. Ex
cellent bridges have been made to span
our beautiful creeks and streams ; church
es and school-houses decorate and dot
the county.
In productions Elbert ranks among
the first counties of the State in the in
dispensable staples of life. Her broad
and well-cultivated acres teem with com,
wheat, cotton, &c., while her orchards
groan with fruits, and her gardens yield
bounteously of all that tempt the pal
ate or please the eye.
In a social aspect, the society of our
county is among the best, the most culti
vated and refined to be be met with any
where, evidencing a reciprocity of inter
ests and a regardful feeling for the mu
tual welfare of all, which is not to be
met with in less favored localities.
With this number of The Gazette
we felicitate ourselves upon the fact that
our happy lot has been cast in so excel
lent a community, and among a people
so true, so noble, generous and brave!

The Speaking Last Saturday.
In accordance with an announcement
made in last week’s Gazette, a party of
gentlemen interested in the subject of
railroads assembled in the courthouse to
listen to Dr. D. A. Mathews’ discussion
of that subject.
The Doctor stated that he requested
an opportunity of addressing the people
of the county, because he feared wrong
impressions had gone out from the meet
ing of Directors of the Elberton Air Line
Railroad last Saturday, and that the suc
cess of that road was imperilled by the
proceedings of that meeting. He would
state that such was not the case; that
that road was in no danger of defeat.—
The route had been surveyed, and esti
mates made for the grading. The new
route surveyed was found to be a gooa
one, but it didn’t go by Camesville;
hence the people of that town were dis
satisfied. He had recently ordered a
re-survey by Carnesville to be paid for
by the people there. If they could raise
money to carry the road by Carnesville,
and secure the iron for the same, it
would go by Carnesvil’e; if not, it
would not. He had made arrangements
for the iron for the ridge route, but did
not think it could be secured for the
Carnesville route.
Your attention, fellow-citizens, have
been directed, to this and that railroad
project for many years, and you have of
ten been called upon to subscribe money
to aid in their construction. There has
never been any real earnest efforts made
to get a road in any direction. I have
spent more time and thought investiga
ting these various railroad projects, than
any one in this county; hence I know
whereof I speak, I have come to the
conclusion that if we ever have a railroad
we will have to raise the money to grade
and cross-tie from our midst to intersect
some trunk line now in operation. The
connection with the Georgia railroad at
Washington has been long discussed and
often tried by our people, but that con
nection requires more capital than we
can control to invest in any enterprise—
the cost being variously estimated at
from $400,000 to $600,000. The Geor
gia railroad has never made any definite
proposition by way of encouragement,
only hinting it might do something if
our people wonld raise enough to build
the road. They have received our com
mittees sent to consult with them on
this subject with courtesy and polite
ness, but they have never presented any
inducement for us to undertake so haz
ardous an experiment. For thirty years
overtures from the people of Elbert haye
been repulsed by that road, and all hope
of a road in that direction has passed as
a day dream.
The Augusta & Hartwell—now de
nominated by its friends the Savannah
Valley railroad—sprang into existence
from the vivid imagination of Dr. Casey,
of Columbia county. We hailed the
dawning of its existence with joy, en
tertaining a hope of its success as a re
lief for our pent-up section. But Dr. Ca
sey soon discovered he had a big job on
his hands, and when he looked to Au
gusta for the support he had a right to
expect from that city, the people there
gave him the cold shoulder. The peo
ple along the line of that road were dis
posed to encourage that enterprise, and
subscribed liberally to it. Many of us
in this county, warned by the course of
Augusta, agreed not to pay anything till
a sufficient amount of stock should be
raised to complete the road to Elberton.
Dr. Casey, after efforts in every direc
tion, found he had an elephant on hand,
and not knowing what to do with it, he
eagerly availed himself of an opportuni
ty to get the burden off his hands, and
a Northern developer became master of
the unwieldy beast.
Chapman was elected president in
1869 or 1870, and commenced develop
ing. He claimed to represent capital
from the North. He attempted to get,
and finally did get, the promise of State
aid. The people here are friendly to the
road, and lam too, if I could see any
prospect of its ultimate success.
In 1870 the Legislature passed an
act amending the charter of the Augus
ta & Hartwell railroad, in which was em
bodied the provision that within thirty
days from its passage, work must be
commenced at some point or points along
the line; otherwise the charter was for
feited. (Sec. 2. of an act amending the
charter of A. &H. R. R., approved Oct.
17, ’70.) Has that work been done? If so,
where ? I would like to be informed.—
It has not, and therefcre the charter of
that road has been forfeited. The peo
ple were foolishly trying to build a road
without a charter. I learned that Han
sard, by some means, obtained bonds of
this road and had hawked them on Wall
street. No doubt many of our people
will be glad to learn the Augusta & Hart
well railroad has no charter, as it will re
lieve them from the debts of that corpo
ration.
Dr. Mathews stated that while in At"
lanta recently, gentlemen there in the
interest of that road had endeavored to
effect a compromise with him in the El
berton Air-Line Railroad. He told them
he desired and would make no compro
mise with a dead railroad. Those gen
tlemen were in Atlanta trying to resur
rect State aid. He was satisfied they
had failed in their efforts. He was told
that that they had gone to Gov. Smith
claiming vested rights. But they had
none. Had they gone to Avork as requir
ed by the section before alluded to, they
would have had vested rights. As he
understood, Gov. Smith, by his con
struction of the Constitution, declared
they had no vested rights. Dr. M. be
lieved that road dead, and was now no
more than a painted corpse. Suppose
they attempt to build the road, where
would they get the money? From Au
gusta, Columbia, Lincoln, Elbert, Hart?
Hart had acted wisely, taking stock con
tingently. Augusta wouldn’t give a
cent. It w’ould take $200,000 or $300,000
to get that road through that city. The
proposition was once made to Augusta
that if she would grant the right of way
through the city ten miles of the road
would be built. In the Council, when
the proposition was brought to a vote,
there was one vote, and one only, in fa
vor of guaranteeing the right of way.—
Before that promise was given, Augusta
had to be greased, as Buliock was greas
ed. At that time the city required a
bond of SIOO,OOO that the workshops of
the Company should be built in that
city, and SIOO,OOO would be required to
remove the powder works that were then
there, and another SIOO,OOO was inquir
ed for damages. $300,000 to get out of
the city. This scared Underwood, and
he gave it up.
Dr. Wilkes then took the road, and
worked faithfully for it, but he found that
he could do nothing with it.
Mr. Moore took it, and ho got scared at
a judgment recently obtained against
the Company in the courts of Augusta,
and he resigned.
Harrison, of South Carolina, then took
the presidency, so that the company
could not be sued.
And so that road stands to-day.
As to State aid, the Doctor thought
that the man who had that clause put in
the Constitution, had it put there for
thieves ; not for honest men. It was nev
er intended for honest people. As an
instance that State aid did no good, he
cited the several roads that had • had the
benefit of it—the Macon & Brunswick,
and others—which were in very bad con
ditions.
As to the Elberton Air-Line Railroad,
he knew the people were interested in it.
This road should be kept among our
selves until its success was absolutely as
sured. If honest Georgians had kept
control of the Augusta & Hartwell road,
he believed it might have succeeded.—
The estimates for grading, and ties for
his road wa3 at first about SIOO,OOO. —
Seven miles of the road had been recent
ly located. It was estimated that the
grading would cost $1,260 60 per mile.
The estimates, made upon the re-suruey
of the seven miles, reduced the cost of
grading 27 per < ent.
Mr. Alexander wanted to go to work
upon the road last week; but he was un
willing that the work should be com
menced until the stock subscribed had
been made secure. He didn’t want to
get the people into a hobble about
this road, and would not.
He objected to the Camesville route
on grounds of policy and right. It
would take a much larger amount of
money to build that road—far more than
the people could raise. And if they
could raise it, he was still opposed to it.
One reason was the stock would not pay
near as well as the other road.
He thought he made the Carnesville
folks sick before they left him, and he an
ticipated no more trouble from that
quarter. They bad pledged themselves
! to give way at the meeting next month
if they could not raise the additional
amount of money required to build their
road; and if they still opposed the build
ing of our road, the stockholders would
have a meeting before long, and that
matter could then be settled.
He wanted the people to fix up their
subscriptions. He could do nothing to
wards making a contract till then, and
he urged those who had subscribed to
stock to attend to this matter without
delay. With that matter attended to he
assured them the road would be built.—
It was neither dead nor injured.
REMARKS OF HON. E. M. RUCKER.
Hon. E. M. Rucker, who had listened
to the speech of Dr. Mathews, said it
might be proper for him to say that he,
for one, had not drawn the inference
from the Directors, meeting of last Sat
urday, which the Doctor feared had
gooe abroad. He didn’t think that meet,
ing had in any manner injured the pros
pect of the road.
As to the question of State aid, he ful
ly agreed with his friend on that point.
And one great reason why he favored a
Constitutional Convention was that such
measures should be prevented by an
amendment to the Constitution. As to
the expense of a Constitutional Conven
tion, an objection that had been strenu
ously urged against a convention, he
would willingly pay ten times the amount
he would be required to pay for that pur
pose.
As to the Elberton Air-Eine Railroad,
he wished to be understood as not being
opposed to it. He was friendly to it.—
He knew that Dr. Mathews’ management
of the affair had been very good.
In the Augusta & Hartwell road, he
felt a great interest. True Mr. Moore
had recently resigned the presidency of
it. The cause he believed was that
Moore had not understood the policy of
the Company. He wanted to postpone
any action concerning the debts of the
Company, and not go forward and settle
them as a business man should.
At a recent meeting of the friends of
the Augusta & Hartwell Railroad, held at
Bethlehem, the question was up for con
sideration whether the country was in a
condition to undertake this great enter
prise. He had learned that offers had
been made by responsible parties to
grade the road for one-half cash, four
tenths bonds, and one-tenth in stock. It
would cost $7,000 a mile to grade and
cross tie to the junction of the Tugalo
and Savannah rivers, which would make
the amount of money necessary to be
raised to build the road to that point
one half of $630,000 —$315,000. He had
no fears as to securing the iron and roll
ing stock when the road was graded.—
The road bed would be a sufficient col
lateral for securing all the necessary
means for that object. If the work was
done to the borders of South Carolina
she must take care of herself, and he had
doubt she would do so. And if the road
was completed to Clayton, he had no
doubt of the great Western connection.
All the cash to be raised was $315,000;
to be obtained from Augusta, Columbia,
Lincoln, Elbert and Hart. True Augus
ta had not subscribed anything as yet,
but he believed that when the proposi
tion was made to her in a business way
—that this great Western connection
would necessarily make that city the
great objective point, and thus increase
and build up her business—she would
come to our help. He expected Augus
ta would subscribe $200,000 towards
this road, which would leave but $115,000
to be raised in the other counties.
Here the speaker went into a descrip
tion of the advantages such a road would
be to this couhty, among other things
alluded to the great want of reliable la
bor, increased population, etc., which
would follow 'the completion of this
grand trunk line. His remarks were of
that character which we alw-ays hear
from him, and are alw-ays glad to listen
to.
He concluded by appealing to thepeo
pie to unite in building a road whose
great importance would command for us
the respect of the world.
DR. MATHEWS, IN KESrONSE,
said he had simply made a statement of
facts.
Mr. Rucker said that Dr. Mathews had
just informed him to-day, of what he
thought was a forfeiture of the charter
of the Augusta & Hartwell Railroad, and
he had not had time to give the matter
consideration. He thought as the act
he quoted was but an amendment to the
charter, a failure to comply with its
terms, might only forfeit the privileges
of that amendment.
Dr. Mathews begged to inform Mr.
Rucker that the responsible parties who
had proposed to grade the Augusta &
Hartwell Road, and proposed to take
four-tenths of their pay in bonds, expect
ed to have the bonds endorsed by the
State, and as to the road by Walhalla, he
had been told by well-informed parties
that it would take $200,000 more to car
ry it that route than via the Elberton
Air-Line Railroad.
A trip to Nassau, the seat of govern
ment of the Bahama Islands, can be per
formed in four days from New York by
the regular line of steamers which run
weekly to Havana. In the summer sea
son Nassau is unhealthy; but from the
Ist of November to the Ist of June there
is probably no place so desirable for per
sons suffering with pulmonarycomplaints.
The best remedy in all lung diseases is
exercise in the open air, when that is of
a temperature to be breathed with safety.
Frost has never visited Nassau. The
coldest day known from November to
May, during the last twenty years, was
64 degrees, and the warmest 82 degrees,
—a fact which indicates the remarkable
equability of the temperature.
A special election took place in the
Tenth Senatorial District of Minnesota
on the 16th ult., there having been a tie
vote at the November election. Despite
every exertion of the Republicans, the
anti monopolist candidate was elected by
seventy-six majority. Olmstead county
gave Grant over nine hundred majoitylast
year. The anti monopolists gained over
their November strength in every district
save one.
Town and County.
We have had some Spring weather

All those that ovn gins in this county
will confer a favor upon the Gazeete of

weeks at that office the number bales of
cotton ginned at the respective gins for
the year 1873.
Our devil wants to know if tho figure
1 with st after it, [lst] don’t spell won
nest.
We heard of an old man in our county
the other day, who was bom and reared
in Elbert, aged 60 years, and had never
been to Elberton but twice during his
life.
Several has asked how old we would
be on our next birth-day. We will be
“sweet sixteen."
Two young men went up tho coun
try the other day, by private conveyance
on busines for E. A. R. R. If they’ll
wait a season, they can come down in
a box car.
A certain citizen of our town called us
by another man’s name the other day.
We would have knocked him down, but
we reconsidered thinking that the other
would feel honored.
“Infamous wretch! so much below
our scorn, Ave dare not kill thee!” is
what we told a man that scared us out
the other night.

The folloAviug is condensed from a let
ter of General G. T. Beauregard, avlio is
President of the New Orleans and Car
rolton Railroad Company: The fireless
locomotives have doav been in use two
months on a portion of that road of about
three miles. They have resulted iu a
gain over horses of twenty minutes to a
round trip. They are more manageable
than horses, being more readily stopped
and started, and give the driver opportu
nity to make change and attend to the
passengers. They start Avith ono hnn
dred and tAventy-five pounds pressure,
make the round trip of six miles and get
back to the starting point with forty to
fifty pounds. One dummy is equal to
nine miles. A calculation for twenty
years makes the running expenses of a
road with these engines un e-fourth of
that of equal conveyance Avith mules. If
these figures are at all near correctness,
the 4 day of horse cars, on the score of econ
