ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT
OF THE ELBERTON AIR-LINE RR.
GO., MARCH 1, 1876.
To the Stockholders of the Elberton
Air-Line Railroad Company :
At our last annual meeting we had
27 miles of road graded and paid for.
The whole expenses, including grading,
engineering, cross-ties, right of way, and
incidental, were a little more than
$32,000 up to that date. The work was
continued uninterruptedly until June 3,
1875, when the grading was completed
for the whole 50 miles of road. The
cost of grading for the whole road,
$41,500; engineering, $5,842; cross
ties and incidentals, including right of
way and traveling expenses, $2,466.75 ;
making a total of $49,808.81 up to this
time. The amount of floating debt at
present is $2,824. The amount of un
paid subscription due the Company is
$23,380.
The Company now has over 14,000
cross-lies stacked up along the road.
These, valued at 30 cts. per tie, amounts
to sjmething over $4,200. The Com
pany has only located two of its depots
on the line—one named Hellenor, loca
ted in 10 miles of Toccoa, where the
company has half interest ir. 112 acres
of land, this is to be divided into suita
ble lots for building and for business,
and sold to sellers, the Company getting
one half of the proceeds ; at the other
place, named Royston, located opposite
Franklin Springs, the Company has half
interest in 50 acres of land, a large por
tion of this has been divided into lots,
a number of these sold and several new
houses built upon them ; other parties
contemplate making improvements there
as soon as the laying of iron upon our
road is commenced. At a place called
‘•Bowersville,” on our road, anew town
is being rapidly built up, and as soon
as the road is in operation we have no
doubt but that thriving towns will be
built up at all the depots along the line.
The productions of the country we think
are amply sufficient to justify the expec
tation.
It is the policy of tha Company to ac
quire as much land as possible around
each depot, and to encourage the build
ing of towns and to endeavor to con
centrate business from the surrounding
country on our road. It is difficult now
to estimate the value of property thus
acquired, but when all our depots are
located, and the lands obtained are laid
off into lots and placed upon market, we
believe this will be a matter of no little
importance to the Company.
As there is much stringency in finan
ces at this time, and real estate is de
pressed in value, we perhaps might get
some stock taken on landed subsciip
tions. This class of property will
strengthen the credit of the Company,
and aid us in getting our securities off
on better terms, besides affording ma
terial for the construction and repairing
of the road. I therefore recommend
that our old landed subscription list of
1872 be overhauled, and see how much
of it can be made available. This list is
not included in the amount accounted
for in the foregoing portion of the re
port, but was a conditional subscription
payable when the road is completed and
pat in running order. Many of these
parties have been relieved, the Boat’d of
Directors allowing a monied subscrip
tion payablo by instalments instead.—
Quite a number have never changed
their original subscriptions in lands. I
do not know whether these can be held
responsible. I suggest that a commit
tee be appointed for the purpose men
tioned, and that canvassers be sent out
in the counties through which our road
passes, and see what can be done in the
way of landed subscriptions, based upon
the conditions of those obtained in 1872.
I also recommend that a subscription to
the Bonds of the Company payable in
money by instalments be offered to the
people in the counties along the line of
the road, and to friends in Atlanta, and
to all who may feel interested in the
completion of our road.
The bonded debt to be placed upon
the road now proposed by the Direc
tory is $5,000 per mile, or $250,000 in
all. We estimate that the entire cost
of our road when completed will not ex
ceed $325,000 or $6,600 per mile. We
estimate that the gross income will not
fall short of $1,200 per mile, or §60,000
per annum.
We estimate the exi enses for keeping
up and operating the road, including in
cidental expenses, to be $25,000; inter
est on bonded debt, at 7 per cent.
$17,500, leaving a balance of $17,500 to
be used as sinking fund, paying divi
dends, &c.
grading was completed, we
have been at work endeavoring to raise
means to iron and equip lhe road. This
undertaking has required much labor
and patience, as our road was compara
tively unknown outside of our State, it
having been conducted thus far entirely
by local subscriptions and our efforts
confined in a small scope of country;
consequently, it has taken time and some
expense to introduce and present its
merits to those who are able to furnish
material and carry our bonds. We did
net meet with the encouragement de
sired at first. This was owing to the
timidity of capitalists in taking hold of
new railroads. Many roads having been
built since the war on false representa
tions and at large cost, persons were de
ceived and lost heavily by investing in
their bonds. But there is no road that
has been built, either before or since the
war, w'here a more strict economy has
been used in its construction than the
ELBERTON, GEORGIA MARCH 8. 187&
Elberton Air-Line. And by patient ef
forts and an honest, straight forward
representation of the facts concerning
our road, we have met a respectful con
sideration from all persons to whom we
have applied for assistance, and from
time to time have received propositions
from various companies to furnish mate
rial for our road. The conditions of the
several propositions have differed with
each party making an offer. The offers
made us recently are more liberal and
we hope to be able to close a contract
for rails and other material soon, and
commence laying the track. If our
people at home will encourage ns, we
feel confident of being able to complete
our road during the present year.—
There is nothing to discourage us; the
delay forced upon us, if not protract
ed too long, will turn out a benefit in
stead of a disadvantage. Material is
cheaper, and it will cost much less to
finish our road now than it would have
done twelve months ago. But it seems
that railroad supplies have gone as low
as we can reasonably expect them, and
I do not think it would be wise to pro
crastinate the completion of our road if
we can possioly avoid it. If finished
now, at the present cost of material, we
see no reason why this road should not
sustain itself, and meet promptly the in
terest on the debt that will be required
to complete it, and pay some dividends
to the stockholders.
Our road bed is generally in good
condition, but little washing or damage
has been done by rains during the winter.
In order to prevent injury by travel over
our road bed we put a small force to
work in November last and had it
blockaded with timber; this has been a
great protection, and will save much ex
penditure of money when we have to
face up the road for laying cross-ties
and iron.

WEATHER SIGNS.
In response to a circular sent to all
the station observers by the chief signal
officer asking for the signs preceding
storms, Signal Service Observer Du
mont has recently sent to Washington a
report for his locality, based upon his
own observations, and the weather notes
which Major Ingersoll has kept for sev
eral years, and Foreman Allin’s record.
After detailing the action of the instru
ments before storms, the reporter gives
the weather signs by which the approach
of a storm is heralded, and these, by the
way, are considered more reliable than
the instrumental signs. Old weather
prophets will be interested in compar
ing these rules with the maxims which
they have drawn from their own obser
vations. We append the signs for their
perusal :
1. Asa rule, if the wind touches
northeast or east for two or three days
it is a sure indication of rain.
2. Dense smoke and haze in early
morning portend falling weather.
3. Summer showers of light charac
ter often follows two or three days of
smoke and haze.
4. Fog, frost and dew precede rain
24 to 48 hours, except fog at close of a
storm.
5. Wind veering from north or west
to south and southeast precedes falling
weather.
G. Halos, lunar and solar, also fairly
defined and brilliant auroras, precede
rain 24 to 60 hours.
| 7. Barometer rising or falling consid
erably away from its mean, forebodes
falling weather, subject to modifying in
! fluences of the neighboring ranges of
; mountains or hills.
i 8. Precipitation generally follows af
ter a rapid influx or reflux of atmos
phere.
9. If the wind is in the southwest and
rain s< ts in, the rain is of short duration
and light yield.
10. Banks of watery clouds or heavy
haze on south and southeastern, horizon,
indicate rain.
A remarkable event took place in
Egypt on New Year’s day. The Ma
hommedan lunar year died on December
31 for all civil cases, and by a decree of
the Khedive the Gregorian calendar was
adopted as the authorized guide in the
dealings of life for Christians and Mos
' lom alike.
DEATH OF AN OLD WARRIOR.
Capt. Victor M. Randolph died near
Blount Springs, Ala., on January 28th.
He was born in Culpepper county, Vir
ginia, July 24, 1797, was commissioned
‘from that State a midshipman in the
United States Navy in the year 1814,
and sailed under Capt. Stephen Deca
tur. He served with great credit in the
fierce conflicts with the Algerine pirates,
that ended in their extermination. He
was with the late Capt. Josiah Tattnall
at the bombardment of Vera Cruz, and
cauglit the latter in his arms when be
fell, dangerously wounded by a Mexican
missile. During President Taylor’s ad
ministration he was given command of
the United States ship Albany, and, in
obedience to orders from Washington,
he disbanded the several hundred ad
venturers who had collected on Round
Island for the unlawful purpose of in
vading Cuba. Soon thereafter, by the
merest accident, war between the United
States and Spain was averted, as follows:
The United States sloops of-war Albany
and Germantown, each carrying twenty
two guns, under the command of Capt.
Randolph, happened to cast anchor in
the harbor of Havana at the time when
a reign of terror prevailed, just follow
ing the execution of Lopez and Critten
den. A Spanish frigate and brig had
captured the crew of an American mer
chantman, under the pretense that they
were filibusters. Capt. Randolph visited
Captain General Concha, demanded their
release, and was refused. After a stormy
interview the former left, informing the
latter that he w r ould set free the Ameri
can crew before sundown. The Albany
and Germantown were immediately put
under way and sailed out under the
bristling guns of Moro Castle. In sight
were the Spanish frigate and brig, con
veying the captured American merchant
man toward the mouth of the harbor.
Thousands of the citizens of Havana
thronged the shore to witness the ex
pected naval battle. The guns of the
United States vessels were shotted, and
all hands ordered on deck to prepare for
action, and then the two bore down up
on the Spaniards. When the distance
between them was less than a league,
the United States steam frigate Sara
nac. commanded by Capt. Tatnall, ap
peared, made signals to the Albany
to heave to. As Capt. Tatnall ranked
Capt. Randolph, the latter was com
pelled to obey, much to the chagrin of
the now excited and expectant crews of
the two vessels that had been prepared
for action. The Saranac, whose com
mander had gotten wind of the situa
tion that morning, had been put under
full headway of steam, in order to pre
vent hostilities that would have resulted
in a final declaration of war between
the two countries. He had his orders
from Washington to keep peace at all
hazards. A delay of less than twenty
minutes and the Saranac would have
reached the scene too late to prevent a
fight that would have been speedily fol
lowed by the invasion and capture of
the island of Cuba by the United States
forces.
CAN A HUSBAND ASSIGN HIS WIFE HIS
PROPETY ?
In the Supreme Court at Washington
City, last Wednesday, two cases were
decided involving the right of a hus
band to assign property to his wife,
the decision being the same in both
cases and of considerable general in
terest.
The first was that of Floyd vs. Ful
ton, on appeal from the Circuit Court
for the Northera District of Georgia.
The question in the case was whether a
settlement, made by tbe husband upon
the wife, if made when the husband was
able to pay all his indebtednes, was void
as against previous creditors. It is
held that while by the old rule of law
such deeds as against previous creditors
were void, the rule now is that prior in
debtedness is only presumptive and not
conclusive proof of fraud. And this
presumptive may be explained and rebut
ted. If no fraud appears there is no de
fect in the deed. Every case depends
upon the circumstances which surround
it and is to be carefully scrutinized.
In this case said that there is no
evidence which would warrant the
Court in holding that the transaction
was not in good faith. The grantor was
able to pay his indebtedness and offered
to pay in Confederate money, the medi
um in circulation in that State, and
which was then but little depreciated,
and continued able to pay long after the
making of the deed. No taint of a dis
honest purpose is found. Affirmed.
Mr. Justice Swayne delivered the
opinion.—Chronicle &Sentinel.
The Springfield Republican (Ind.)says:
The theory that the three war amend
ments, so called, have revolutionized our
political system, transforming the Fed
eral Republic of the fathers into a con
solidated imperial republic, and vesting
Congress with the omnipotence of the
British Parliament will have to be given
up; it may as well be first as last. It an
untenable theory, to begin with, and
then the Supreme Court declines to take
any stock in it.

Ml HAT.
A Seng for the Hard Time*.
.by w. p. R.
The times are hard, I do declare—
I’m moneyless and flat;
I feel indeed the worse o’ wear,
So does my dear old hat.
My coat is thin and so am I ;
I do not care for that.
But this reflection brings a sigh,-
The winds sigh through my hat;
My hat, my hat, my precious hat—
My old felt, worn-out hat I
The times are hard, I do declare—
My boots have lest their soles,
My pants are rent —no matter where—
My wife has patched the holes ;
My dog-skin gloves are sadly torn—
I do not care for that;
But oh ! my hat, so thin and worn—
My wife has darned my hat I
My hat, my hat, my old felt hat—
My precious, darned old hat!
The times are hard—you ask the cure—
I’ll tell you what to do :
By faith and honest work endure,
And stint and “suffer through.”
The wife must wear her calico,
And never care for that—
The man despise all style and show,
And wear his old felt hat;
The same old hat, the old felt hat—
The precious, darned old hat.
The times are hard—the reason why,
You need not ask for that;
The lack of money, I reply,
To ’.vise men “verbum sat.”
Without a cent, use common sense,
And enter caveat
Upon all nonesense and expense,
And wear the same old hat!
The same old hat, the old felt hat—
The precious, darned old hat.
The times are hard—away with earel—
Be honest and a' that;
And kiss your wife and say she’s fair
In that old leghorn flat;
And wear that coat she made for you,
And love her more for that;
And to your God and self be true
Beneath the old felt hat!
The same old hat, the old felt hat—
The precious, darned old hat.
If fortune’s wrecked, don’t take alarm—
Don’t turn a reckless fool 1
Just keep your heart all right and warm,
And keep you.’ head right cool.
The times are hard, but play the man—
Be faithful and a’ that;
With hands and head do all you can,
Beneath that same old hat 1
That same old hat, that old felt hat—
That precious, darned old hat!
An extraordinary occurrence was
brought to light at an inquest held on
the body of a man in South London. In
a work-room where many young girls
were at work a mouse suddenly made
its appearance on a table, causing, of
course, considerablo commotion and a
general stampede. The intruder was
seized, however, by a young man who
happened to be present, but the mouse,
slipped out of his hand, and running up
his sleeve, came out between his waist
coat and shirt at the neck. The unfor
tunate man had his mouth open, and the
mouse on the lookout for some conven
ient place of concealment entered the
man’s mouth, and he, in his flight and
surprise, swallowed it. That a mouse
can exist for a considerable time without
much air has long been a popular belief,
and was undoubtedly proved to be a
fact in the present instance, for the
mouse began to tear and bite inside the
man’s throat and chest, and the result
was that the unfortunate fellow died af
ter a little time in horrible agony. Sev
eral witnesses corroborated the above
facts, and medical testimony as to the
cause of death having been given, a vei’-
dict of “Accidental death’’ was returned.

PRESIDENT JEFFERSON'S WATCH.
The Charlottsville (Va.) Chronicle
says that Dr. W. C. N. Randolph, of
Charlottsviffe, has Mr. Jefferson’s
silver watch. Levi Lincoln, Mr. Jef
ferson’s Attorney General, wore it at
the dispersion of the Judges at the
close of Adams’ administi’ation, be
fore Jefferson was sworn into office.
Mr. Lincoln appeared in the court
at midnight and stated that he was
ordered to take possession of the office
and papers. “Why, Mr. Jefferson has
not yet qualified,” exclaimed the as
tonished Chief Justice. “Mr. Jeffer
son considoi’s himself in the light of
an executor, bound to take charge of
the papers of the government until
he is duly qualified,” was the reply.
“But it is not yet ten o’clock," said
Judge Marshal], taking out his watch.
Mr. Lincoln pulled out his watch and
showing it to him said, “This is the
President’s watch and rules the hour.”

IMPEACHMENT OP GOY. KELLOGG, OF
LOUISIANIA.
The committee to investigate the con
duct of Gov. Kologg concluded their
report as follows “Aud Whereas, Many
of the Democratic and Conservative
members of this House feel bound to
carry out, in good faith, the terms of
the adjustment known as the Wheeler
compromise, not to disturb the said
Wm. P. Kollogg for official misconduct
occurring anterior to tbe 14th of April,
1875 ; and whereas, your committee find
on investigation that said Wm. P. Kel
logg, in disregard of the high duties im
posed upon him by the Constitution and
laws of the State of Louisiana, whilo
discharging and exercising the function
of said office as Governor, and in viola
tion of said laws of the State of Louis
iana and his official oath as Governor,to
support and maintain the samo as acting
Governor of the State of Louisiana, has
since and subsequent to the 14th day of
April, 1875, been guilty of many and
divers high crimes and misdemeanoi’s in
office, against the laws and constitution
of the State of Louisiana ; therefore, be
it resolved by tho House of Ropresenta
tives of the State of Louisiana, in Gen
eral Assembly convened, that a commit
tee of fivo members of this House be ap
pointed by the speaker to go to the Sen
ate, and at the bar thereof, in the name
of the House of Representatives of tho
State of Louisiana, impeach Wm. P.
Kellogg of high cairnes and misdemean
ors in office committed since April 14th,
1875, and acquaint tbe Senate that the
House of Representatives will in duo
time exhibit tho particular articles of im
peachment against him, and that the
committee demand that the Senate make
an order for the appeai’ance of the said
Wm. P. Kellogg to answer to said im
peachment.”
The Republicans claim that the re
port of tho majority of the committeo
was only got before the House by a
gross violation of parliamentary law.
Sevei’al motions had been made to bus
pond the rules by a two thirds vote to
take up tho report, but had been defeat
ed on a call of yeas and nays, considei’a
bly more than one-third of tho members
present being opposed to the taking up
of the report. It is asserted that tho
Speaker then muttered something in an
inaudible voice and declared that un
animous consent had been granted to
take up the report- A number of Re
publican members at once rose to object
but the Speaker ruled that their objec
tion came too late. The minority of tho
committeo offered a report setting forth
that no investigation whatever had been
entered upon by the committeo.
When tbe committee of the House
presented the action of that body to the
Senate, the Senate at once organized as
a court of impeachment, Chief Justice
Ludiling in the Chair, and adopted reso
lutions that the impeachment was in
certain respects violative of law and en
tirely so of the Wheeler compromise,
and acquitting Kellogg of the charges
by dismissing tho articles of impeach
ment by a vote of 25 to 9.

which it is optional with tho Governor
whether bo will not issue tho death
warrant.
A small Bridgeport man wearing an
adult Ulster started down Main street
yesterday noon to get bis dinner, but as
soon as the wind got fairly hold of him
the Ulster became unmanageable, and
he shot down the sti’eet at seventeen

shout to his wife, who happened to be
at the window, as he whirled by, “shall

he disappeared in tho direction of Sea
side park, since which moment his fate
is wrapped in mysteiy. If he failed to
make a stoppage on Long Island, he is
probably lost, as he was not provisioned

A Leap Year Tragedy.— They stood
together in the enfry beneath the hall
lailip. “Then Henry,” she said, in a low
voice, wherein were blended determina
tion, melancholy and love, “you refuse
my suit?” “Yes, Ella,” he replied, in ac
cents that were firm though the speak
er’s voice tiembled. “I admire you ; 1
will be a brother to you, and watch with
pride your ccurse through life, and if
ever trouble should befall you there will
at least be one fi’iend to whom you can
come for succor ; but I can never, never

am poor, Henry ? For, oh, if that wore
all I could toil glady from morn till
night for you strive and win a home for
you, humble it might be, but our own.”
“It is useless to attempt to induce me
to change my determination. Though
I am but a pool’, weak man, I can never,
never change my mind." Then cruel young
man, so fair, and yet so false, farewell.
To morrow you will see my mangled re
