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.

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 etta Journal. Thank you, sir; but we are sorry that we can not return the compliment.
