Many sections of the State seems to
have “run riot" during the holidays.
Mc „ nottce that no dry towns were thus
afflict od.
After thc joys of the holidays have
become well settled down we may ex

The South needs men capable of
handling capital as well as the capital.

us and the latter will follow. j

a monument to Grady. What, better j

This concession means much.

The press and people of the North,
East, South and West join in one
mighty lament at thc untimely death of j
Grady. ’Tis sad that he did not live to
fully comprehend the esteem with
which he was regarded.
Davis’ death brought forth tears of
love. Grady’s death was the occasion
of lamentations. We sorrow for the
one for what he had been; we lament
over the death of the other for what he
was and gave promise of being.

THE OGLETHORPE ECHO: LEXIXCTOX. GA., FRIDAY. JANUARY 3. 1890.
COL. E. C. MACHEN.
In our rambles last week it was our
good fortune to meet and be thrown
with Col. E. ('. Machcn, the builder of
the Covington and Macon railroad, con
necting Athens and Macon, and the
coming rail load king of the South. tV e
have never met a more remarkable
j on ,. * w ho is more capa
|>)c or who seems destined to do more
for the section ill which lie has cast his
lot.
, 1 ,”m to SAorATA
some years before returning South.
This return, though it was almost en¬
tirely accidental, was an accident for
which (Georgia, at least, is to he con¬
gratulated. Three years ago he was
selected by some monied men of his
city to visit Atlanta to negotiate for the
waterworks of that city, ! ailing to
make the purchase he began easting
, HP(l | c j M „ oilier investments for
o
his capitalists. With that perception
peculiar to him he saw that a railroad
running across the State was needed
•and at once inaugurated the scheme, of
building the. Covington and Macon.
Hut after he had begun its construc
h(; wnf) wi()l disappointments
and iliscomageiiH nt iniv , i.iiu ,
on .
Undaunted, he < id not give it up, l.ovv
over, but pushed it on through injunc
lions and many other obstacles to com
plction. To do tliis he had to induce
Void hern capitalists to come to his aid.
In this lie had no easy job, but In his
indomitable energy and business tact
ho at length succeeded in securing it.
The result is lie has running one of the
best roads in the State which is paying
a handsome dividend to its stockhold
ers.
His success with this has given him
great prominence with the capitalists
of the North, and now let him inaugu¬
rate whatever enterprise, he may these
monied men come unhesitatingly to bis
aid. Ho is now engaged in building
the Middle Georgia and Atlantic rail¬
road, which will be Bit) miles in length
and connect Atlanta and Savannah.
To build this road he lias an unlimited
amount of capital at his back, and there
is no doubt of its being well invested.
It is such men as he that the South
needs—men whose business sagacity is
recognized in the money world and
who have the energy and good judg¬
ment, to invest the capital of the mon¬
ied men in paying enterprises which
develop the South’s resources and bring
capitalists and their capital among us.
What Col. Machcn has already done
is felt by a large portion of Georgia;
what he will do will make him one of
the most prominent men in the Stale.
He is fully worthy and in every way
capable of sustaining such prominence.
We welcome him to Georgia and to tile
techie tribute ;
South, and pay him this |
with an assurance that when he and ,
his capabilities become better known
there will he many another who will
join us. Sueli men as he the South
needs, and to a large extent is the de-'
velopment of our resources dependent
upon them.
ORADY’S DEATH.
Together with the sorrow of the
thousands who loved Henry Grady that
he should be taken from among them
comes the lament of the nation that
one so gifted and capable of so much
good should be cut .low., just as ho ;
wa# f a j r j v upon the threshold of his
useful career. Viewing the surround
i JL n( r 8 f r0 ni a human standpoint it would

and tv calamity to tbe whole nation.
Our own t'olquitt and Gordon have
won grent!v thc resi>ec t of the Xorth
orn people ; but lhey nor nnv Southern |
man hai , ns imp ijcitl V their confidence,
wbatev(jr ( ; ra(!y sai( j or wro te, on no
maUcv what subject, our friends across j
Mason & Dixon’s line accepted as ut
terly true and not to be questioned,
They respected also his ability more j
than they did any other man of this
section, ’ and were more inclined to take
, Ins . counsel , and , , be governed , , by ins I • ad- ,
vice and admonition.
This distinction Grady had honestly ;
won, and by having it he was doing I
more than any ten men to obliterate j
sectional prejudices. His last great
speech, delivered only a few days be¬
fore his death, was on this line, and its I
good effects will be felt thc country
over though has been taken before he
could sec them. In that speech hedis
Abused the minds of his hearers ot
'»«»}' erroneous ideas of the relations
of tbe races in the South, lie did it b\
stating plainly and unhesitatingly facts :
and giving a true picture of the situa
lion without varnish. lie had the gift
of doing this in such a way us to com
mand the respect of both sides of what
ever question he might be discussing.
Just such speakers and just suelv
speeches is what is now needed to
bring the two sections together; to ob¬
literate sectional prejudices; make thc j
entire nation one people iu purpose
and sentiment. Hut have we any more
Gradys to make them? Perhaps so.
but they are in the background and
time must elapse before they can reach
his place. Wc need them in the front
and on the platform now. Grady was
j already there, and was doing perhaps
as no other man will ever do what is
urgently needed to make the nation
more harmonious, more peaceful and
more prosperous; and while we must
how in humble submission to the will
of the higher power which saw fit to
end his career, wc can but lament tbe
evident loss the people of tbe South es
pecially and the whole nation sustains.
WE BEGIN THE YEAH.
With higher hopes and brighter an
lll “ lhc K ""’ ta - in *
the new year. J Iiougli we cannot say
that our success last year was any more
marked than in former years, we arc
encouraged by the general prosperity
of the country at large, for when the
people are prosperous all enterprises
dependent upon the people have reason
to hope.
For awhile yet at least we will con¬
tinue the paper at its present enlarged
size. Our present patronage does not
entirely warrant us in giving such a pa¬
per at the present subscription price,
yet we have learned that in our line of
business promises do not encourage
patronage; that enlargements and im¬
provements must first be made and
then, if there is patronage within the
p a p er - s territory to sustain them, it will
, . yen u Xs'vcttbte ha9 not been
^ ^ wjih ’, )ut wc havebut slight

Our patrons.may rest assured that we
will give them every whit as good a pa¬
per as their favors will sustain. “Live
and let live” lias always been our mot¬
to and will continue to be. All we
want and all we shall retain is a fair
compensation for our labors and a le¬
gal interest on the amount of capital
we have invested. All above these
shall be returned to our patrons in the
way of a more readable paper and a
better advertising medium.
Wc have never yet had any room for
complaint at the, encouragement given
us—we arc confident that so long as we
can keep the paper up to the standard
we shall have no reason to complain.
Tliis is at least our hope, and with it
we enter upon the duties of a new year,
feeling assured that when the wheel of
time has made another revolution we
shall not have the least feeling of dis¬
appointment.
And we sincerely bespeak this hope
to all our friends and patrons. May
IStJO he a year of peace, prosperity and
plenty to all God’s creatures.
