A BIG DAY IN CANTON.
1 a big Crowd, a big dinner, and b g
SPEECHES BY GEN. GORDON, COL. :
HARDEMAN, AND OTHERS.
Early on the morning of the 15th, the
p< ople began to flock into town from all
i directions, to participate in the festivities of
the railroad jubilee, and listen to some pf
Georgia’s most entertaining speakers. By .
11 o’clock one of the largest and most re
-1 spcctable audiences ever assembled in Can- ,
ton was congregated around the speakers’
! stand, and entertained by Canton’s flue
brass band, until the opening of proceedings
i The meeting was called lo order by Col. •
W. H. Teasly, chairman of the committee
, of arrangements, upon whose nomination ,
' the following officers were elected : Presi
dent —Colonel Janus Pickett oi Gilmer;
I Vice-presidents— Widiam Beal, Murphy, N. j
C; James Philips, Fannin; Thomas G.
Gr er, Gilmer; John H. James, Atlanta;
Ficeman Lay, Cherokee; W. P Anderson,
Cob »; D. E. Smith, Dawson; Sicretiry —
Janes U. Vincent; Assistant secretary —
, W. G. Whidby.
I On taking the chair, the Pres’dent, Col-
P > kett, returned think? for the honor, and
mi< e ome interesting remarks about the
f .lure of the country along the line of the
Marietta and North Georgia railroad.
General Phillips, the president of the
' road, then made a most gratifying report of
tie statu -of the road. (The report we had
expected to publish, but the President for
got to furnish us with a copy.)
COLONEL HARDEMAN,
On being introduced, said he was glad
to meet those with whom he is linked in
I devotion to the Commonwealth, and this
1 lime not at a political meeting, but at a
meeting looking solely to the material de
velopment of this section —to the lilting up
! of the country and to the improvement of
the condition of all the people. Cherokee*
Georgia is generally admitted to be one of j
the richest countries, all things considered,
under the sun. It has untold wealth in
minerals, water power, and soil, in big
brains and noble hearts. But, shut off
from the trade and commerce of the world,
wh it is all this wealth worth to the coun
try ? what is it all worth, undeveloped and
imrilized? The railroad is the leading
means of development in all countries. The
productiveness of a country depends upon
its inherent w<alih;the indnstri s of a
: country depend upon its productiveness;
! and the prosperity of a country depends
upon its industries. It matters not what
may be the wealth of a country, there can
; be no permanent prosperity until its wealth
is utilized; there can be no wcaltli-pro
diici ig ii.dustries until an outlet is made
for tire fruits of those industries which will
remunerate the producers. Ireland is In
guishing, because her earnings are gain d
by others. The value of productions de
pends not upon the soil, but upon the local
; ity and position of the country. Remote
lands are valueless, because labor upon
them can not be made remunerative. Look
at Gilmer, with her hills full of iron ai d
i marble, and her soils most prodi ctive of I
I grain and fruits; her land is comparatively
valueless, because the cost of transportation
1 consumes the products. Labor does not
pay, and hence enterprises languish and
I die. Poliiieal economists say that no agri
cultural country can prosper without cheap
transportation facilities. Increased agricul
! tiira’ interests increase all other industries.
When farmers prosper, all classes of labor
ers prosper, and wherever railroads are con
structed and operated, there agricultural
interests increase and prosper. Little towns
spring up on the line; fields become gar
dens; wealth is multiplied; and schools,
j colleges, and churches follow in the train
of blessings. There can be but one objec
ti >n to railroads: they encourage too much
dependence on other countries, and the
pt ople of the South drift into the ruino is
habit of excessive cotton production. In
this country, a farmer should be indep nd
-1 ent of all others, so long as he relics upon
his stalwart arms and fertile fields, and God
gives him sunshine tm 1 showers. An edu
cated, skilled, and industrious population
. makes a country wealthy and powerful.
Not th Georgia needs most a population to
dig down her hills and utilize her water,
powers. Here sleeps enough wealth to
| make all Georgia rich, and this wealth can
, never be utilized until transportation by
railroad is afforded. Compare the value of
J lands and amount of wealth in counties
contiguous to railroads with that of coun
ties
of Gilmer and Hall counties were about
equa1—1503.397. The Air-line railroad
was built, and Hall alone returns $2,189,732.
A railroad will produce the same results in
: the counties along this road, and the coun
try will reach an unprecedented degree of
' prosperity, and our young men, imbued
! with a deep and true State pride, will quit
; going West, and become contented and
happy here in the homes of their fatbv;
i The conclusion of Colonel Hardem n s
! speech was too eloquer* and soul-stirring
• for us to even attempt a synopsis.
GENERAL GORDON
Was next introduced, and he spoke sub
stantially as follows: He was here by
i invitation, to counsel about one of the most
i nportau' enterprises in Georgia. The Ma"
| rk-ttii and North Georgia railroad is not.
I and can not be, a local enterprise. It is of
the deepest interest to every thinking Geor
gian ; for as this rich section is developed
and improved, it will increase every other
portion of the State. He was not born in
North Georgia, but bis boyluxxl was spent
among h< r hills and valleys. All the ha!"
lowed recollections of childho >d and early ,
manhood come home to him when be sees
yonder towering peaks. This is a great ,
country, and this ought to be a great people, j
All great people are distinguished not only i
for patriotism and intelligence, but for their j
materia! eiiteqirists The sagacious Thos. j
Jrff< rsoH said, “There is not auy climate
itpial to that of the country lying sou!h ot
yonder Alleghany slopes;” and Jefferson
had seen the vine-clad hills of France and
the beautiful Italian skies. The eyes of
South Gforgia ate turned to North Geor
gia, as all Europe looks to her little Switz
erland in the mountains —turned to you, in
this white man’s country, for hope and co
operation, as the bulwark of the Slate’s
strength and future power. litre is the
climate, the xvcaltliof soil, mineral resources
and manufacturing power, and a people of
enterprise and indomitable energy. Os all
material enterprises for the development ot
a country, the railroad is chief. Ever since
man thought at all, lie has been struggling
to get cheap and rapid transit for himself
and his products. The old Egyptians
worked at it, and used granite tracks for
their transports. The Romans strove for
it. But t vas not until about two hundred
years ago lirit the first railroad track was
liid. The rails were made of wood, as
were the vheels of the trucks, and draught
aiimals xvere the m >tivc-power. With
t s rude method the world was satisfied
for over a century, until "in 1776 our fore
fathers said they would be independent of
woo 1, and used pig ion for rails. In 1820
they made a bar with its split-up snake
heads. In 1825 the first locomotive was
put upon a track. The first locomotive of
real service to the world was put upon the
South Carolina railroad in 1831, and it was
the first that ever carried passengers. This
quickened others into life, and hills have
been tunneled, and rivers bridged, and
space spanned, until we are linked xvith
bauds of steel from east to west, and from
north to south. This is, progress real and
substantial, and this'rich section of North
Georgia can n-1 and will not stay behind,
and remain insulated from the world M'ith
all its hidden wealth. This road you will
build. We are poor—our poverty is the
legacy of a j ist cause —but xve must not
forget the fact that poor men have made
i the world what it is. The President, in
Lis report, gives us a statement of expenses
so far incurred in constructing this road
that astonishes me. The history of no rail,
road will show, S'.ich progress with so little
means, it being built the most rapidly and
ai the leist expense of any rotid known.
I found in the West tint land went up
from one dollar to ten dollars per acre, on
the mere prospect of a railroad, and, upon
the completion of the road, they rise to
fifty and sixty dollars per acre. Now, the
lands here are worth more than the Illi
nois lands. They will not make one-third
as much, but here the produce will bring
three times as much. This is the best of
countries ; there is no such spot on earth as
this very North Georgia. Give it railroads
and the concomitant enterprises, improve
ments and advantages, and here would the
h mie ot our posterity be for all time.
Build this railroad, and then will come
schools, mills factories, furnaces, etc,; the
people will become vitalized anew, and the
cou t ymade what God designed it to be.
Build this railroad, and the population will
' dotibl', and with the increase of people
j wi'l come an increase in wealth and its at
i ‘endant blessings. There arc difficulties in
tiie M’ay, but none of them arc insurmount
able. G moral Gordon then referred briefly
to our depending upon the West for planta
tion supplies and upon the North for manu
factured articles, and to monopolies and
national finances. He close 1 M’ith a most
eloquent entreaty for the people to co
operate in all the enterprises for the good
of the country, aad then alLour misfortunes
will pass away; we will lw united by liga
ments of steel, floods of light and life M ill
break in upon us, and old Georgia shall
once more be proud, grand, and free.
HCN. JOHN H. JAMES,
On being introduced, said the Marietta
and North Georgia railro id will prove of
great value to Atlanta. He felt an interest
ia its success, for .with the railroad all other
I lessings will come. It is the most impor
tant e iterprise to this section that can be
inaugurated, for it is the mother of the
rest. The people are not too poor to build
it, but perhtiDS they are too stingy. Com
munities, like individuals, must help them
selves —must M’ork up by hard struggle the
first round of the ladder, and, when climb
ing up gradually by themselves, the world
M ill rally and help, and the ascension M ill
be easy and sure. When this road is built,
this section Mill biighten; there Mill be
more money, more people, in.ors schools,
more industries—more of feveryunng that
tends to the amelioration of the condition
of mankind, lie then referred, in his char
acteristic common-sense style, to the condi
tion of our banking system, and showed
conclusively that a complete reformation is
needed in the administration of our national
I finances. He gave a plain, practical view
of the importance of the Marietta and
t
North Georgia railroad to our people, and
| concluded M ilb an earnest appeal to them
i to make sure of its completion.
CAPTAIN CAMPBELL
Os Murphv. North Carolina, was the
next and last speikcr. He forcibly por
trayed the enormous wealth locked up in
the region between Canton and Murphy,
lie understands what he talked of, and
I earnestly advocated the completion of the
i roa<t from a purely business stand|x>int,
j both to stockholders and the country. He
i assured the stockholders th st North ( t »-
I lina would meet them at the Btate line, aud
I declared that they must have the road. His
entire speech was sensible, earnest, and
practical.
i When Captain Ciimpbell concluded, a
i call was made for subscriptions to stock,
, but without gratifying result,
i The assembly then repaired to the tables,
i on which awaited an’old-fashioned liarbe-
I cue dinner. Cherokee had spread herself,
! and there Mas a great abundance and to
i spare.
j All in all, it was a day of enjoymffet and
I rejoicing—a real jubilee—and we believe
j much good will result to the railroad and
to all other interests of Cherokee,
OVER THE COUNTY.
The late heavy rains have greatly dam
aged the cotton crop.
Lee McKinney has the finest patch of
peas we have seen. That’s right; have
peace and plenty, and plenty of peas.
An epidemic throat disease prevails
among the children in the county. Try
our recipe, to be found in this paper.
The camp meeting at Walesca,last xveek,
was certainly not a dry one. We intended
to attend it, but Mere prevented by the
rain.
John White, down on the river, says he
is determined to marry for love, or remain
single the balance of his days. Stick to
that, John !
John Nations, near Walesca, recently
killed a rattlesnake three feet eight inches
long, which had fourteen rattles. It was
caught in the act of swallowing a full
grown rabbit
It is get ing to be dangerous for one
nei bor to give another a chew of toba'co.
■ It is thought that it will soon be nt cess try
for each chew to have a revenue stamp
upon it. “Columbia! Columbia! to glory
arise 1”
The little boys over the county are mak
ing railroad speeches since the grand festi
val. A little boy of ours, about the size of
a pr pper-box, mounted a chair, the other
day, and vehemently exclaimed: “Develop
the railroad!”
Some children of Mack Say, who lives
near Cherokee mills, M’ere poisoned, last
Sunday, by drinking “yarb tea,” adminis
tered for colds by their grandfather, Martin
> Say. Another doctor (Roberts) was called
in, and killed the “pizen” by giving some
of his own. Old friend “Mart” says he has
! cheated the doctors out of many a case.
No doubt of it 1
1 Rev. Mr. Tuggle says his regular at
-1 tendance upon the Association has been
1 the cause of twenty five per cent, improve
ment in the advancement of his pupils.
• He is an earnest teacher, and catches every
! progressive idea advanced, and he reduces
it lo practice in bis school-room. Perhaps
this accounts for the Commissioner pro-
1 nouncing Tuggle’s the most progressive
l . and efficient school in the county.
1 The cotton crop in the county is not near
’ so good as it was supposed to be a month
' ago. The staple is unusually short, and a
full crop is now out of the question. Ilcre-
1 after the people should not depend on cot
’ ton ; for speculators control the price and
1 swindle the producer, no matter whether
there be much or little made. To be mas
’ ters of the situation, farmers should divers
ify their crops, raise their own supplies,
3 buy no fertilizers, k< ep out of debt, and
’ live at home. There is no sense in work
-3 ing hard to keep up a horde of villains who
3 are growing rich at the farmers’ expense.
Home is a good word —home-spun, home
‘ supplies, and home comforts. Every farm
-1 er in Cherokee can have a little independ
ent world at home.
1 Cherokee’s Agricultural Statistics.
Mr. W. N. Wilson, Tax receiver, has fa
vored us with the following statistics about
Cherokee, which will prove of general in
’ terest. The table M’as prepared for the use
of the State Agricultural department. Only
one hundred and eighty-six made returns?

To Our Friend Neal.
Friend Neal, since your last, attempts at wit,
It we were you we think we’d quit;
nd turn attention to the muses,
Or tell the people M’hat the news is;
Or write each week a lengthy column
Os something wise, or plain, or solemn ;
Or, what would he a better plan,
(.’lip freely from The Georgian.
And if your head is still no better,
When you have read this friendly letter,
Come up at once, M e do implore you,
And let us' see if we can bore you.
Remedy for Diptiieria.—The follow
ing recip ; is said to be very efficacious in
diptiieria, scarlatina, and other throat dis
eas s : Make a strong tea of vinegar, pep
per and salt; put into it a mullen leaf, and,
M’hen well saturated, bind it to the tnroat.
We suggest that a gargle of chlorate of
potash might also be used in connection
with the above, with great advantage. A
dose of calomel or other cathartic should
perhans be given before the other remedies
are applied.
So you “have stolen no horses in a long
time”? You are r -ally doing “pretty well.”
Allow us to congratulate you upon your
im,novel morals, friend Brewster, — [Mari

Thank you, sir; but we are sorry that
we can not return the compliment. We
fear, judging from present appearances,
that it will be a long time before M e con
gratulate Neal upon any improvement in
morals.
