TUESDAY NOVEMBER 90th 1S7S,
Lease or the Ma ou mid Bruns
wick . Uutlro.nl.
We notice that onr representa
tive, Hon. J.D.Mitchell, has intro
duced a bill authorising the Gov
ernor to lease out the Macon and
Brunswick raiload, at a sum not
less than fifty thousand dollars
per annum. Ought the bill to be
come law ?
As a general rule we are op
posed to the State owning or
controlling railroads or engaging
in any business others than that
which strictly and legitimately
pertains to it. Experience has
demonstrated that whenever the
State in any other business than
that of enacting and administering
laws, that it works badly almost
without exception. Especially is
this true of railroads. They are
xnn in the interest ot whatever
party chance to be ia power, and
henoe tends to the corrupting of
publio morals, and almost always
entail more or less ou the people.
Moreover, the time, if it ever ex
isted, has passed away, in which
this State would be justified in
building railroads.
Unfortunately however, some
years ago, views entirely differnt
from those we have intimated ac
tuated our legislators, and the
State endorsed bonds of tbis rail
road to the amount ot over two
million dollars. The result was
what might have been foreeen;the
_ road failed to pay the interest on
its bonds and the South was forced
to seize it for her own protection
For a long time the road failed tu
pay more t tan the expense of run
ning it, the present year however,
it has paid in to the State forty or
fifty thousand dollars, and there
is a good prospect that for the fu
ture its net earnings will amount
to more than this. Inasmuch
therefore as the fifty tb sand dol
lars at which it is proposed to
lease the road will not -.y half the
annual interest on the amount of
which the State is lia le on ac
count of this road, we think it
would be better for the State to
run this road one year longer or
require seventy live or a hundred
thousand dollars for its rental.
We have little doubt that in this
time the road could be leased for
fifty per cent more than it can at
present.-
It is thought by some that the
move to lease this road is made in
the interest of the Central road;
we express no opinion on this
point further than to say that we
are confident Dr. Mitchell believes
be is working for the interest of
Georgia, “first, last, aad all the
time.’’ Besider, if the Central
road will pay more ter the lease
of the road than any other person,
we see no good reason why it
should not be leased to that cor
poration.
Dri J.D. Mitchell.
This gentleman makes a watch,
ful and otherwise faithful repre
sentative. He is always at his
post, and seems to be jealous of,
and against any and all measures
that'would seem to militate against
his constituents and the whole
people of Georgia. He is a whole
souled -an and makes friends of
all. with whom he comes in con-
tapt... Taylor could not send a
more failblul representative, aud
in honoring him the'vbfers of hi«
county honor themselves, May
his shadow never grow less and
his statute never he lowered.

1 he Butler Literary Society.
We understand that at a meet
lng of some of the prominent cit-
zens of onr town on Monday even
ing last, a society was organised
with the above name.
The object of the soc : ety is to ad
vance tho culture of its members.
To this end,the leading magazines
and reviews will be subscribed for
aud furnished the members. By
this arrangement a member of the
society by the payment ot five dol
lars annually, will have access to
all the standard magazines and
reviews published in England and
this country. In our judgment
this is an important move and will
be of untold benefit to our town;
and we hope that all our people
who can possibly afford it will en
rol their names as members of the
society, as no person will be allow-
ed the privilige of reading the re
views and magazines which come
to the society except the families
of those who are members. Any
person, lady or gentleman can join
by giving their names and five
dollars tu the Secretary. Anoth
er important feature of the society
is, that its members will meet at
least once every two weeks for the
discussion of what they have rvad,
in particular, and of literary top
ics in general.
Stoned to Death.
Two negroes engaged in a diffi
culty on the place Mr. Mahoue. at
Bellevue, and began to use rocks
pretty freely, throwing at each oth
er. An elderly colored woman step
ped in between them as a peace
maker,when a missile was thrown
by one of the boys at the other,
which missed its mark and struek
the woman a fearful blow on the
head, fracturing her skull and ma
king a frightful Wound. She lin
gered until Tuesday night aud
died.—Talbotton Standard. ,

The ACsculus If ippocnstnmnn, or
Horse Chestnut, coimuonlv known as

that it possesses virtues, lying in the
bitter principle called Esciilin, wtdeh
