Some Additional Information.
In the Washington Chronicle of last
week we find this: “The Oglethorpe
Echo last week continues its notices of
eminent men who were natives of Ogle
thorpe hy giving an account of Dr. W.
II. Felton, of Bartow. Dr. Felton’s
first wife was the sister of our present
representative, Dr. Carlton. His sec
ond wife, who is as noted as the doctor,
is of an Oglethorpe family, the Lati
niers, but she was not born in that
county.”
But One cf Many.
That we do not publish all the com
pliments naid Tiie Echo is no evi
dence that we do not appreciate them.
The following, from a subscriber in
Mississippi, is to the point in so few
words that we can’t refrain forward from giv
ing it space: “We look to
its coming each week with pleasure,
and enjoy reading it as a letter from
home. I consider it the best county
paper I ever saw.” Such words of
praise are indeed encouraging.
...
Loses His Horse.
Wednesday last Mr. Ben Willingham
from the eastern side of the county, lost
a horse quite suddenly on the outskirts
of I.,cxington. He spent the day in
town. When he hitched up to leave
he noticed that his horse showed signs
of being sick, but he did not think it
sick enough not to travel. When he
had gone but about a mile out the El
berton road the animal stopped and
laid down and died in a few minutes.
It was a considerable loss to Mr. W.
Mr. D. H. Arnold in it.
when we made mention last week of
that warehouse to be built in Athens
by Mr. O. II. Arnold, we had not been
informed that Mr. 1). II. Arnold, of
Arnold, Maxwell & Co., Crawford,
would be his partner in the enterprise.
He will, which is a further guarantee
of the success of the project. Ihere
is not a better cotton man in the South
than Dave—he was born one—and
energy with thi he « wi< will ?« r make sc ?P e <t them to his more tal ® nt mani- ® “nf
fest. It is a strong team that will suc

OUR VISITORS.
Owing to Bad Weather Spend
but One Day With us.
THEY WILL RETURN IN OCTOBER.
They are Much Pleased with the South
in General and This Immediate
Section in Particular.
Sunday morning last Lexington was
set agog by the arrival at the Terminal's
depot of,the handsome special car with
Col. Echols’ party of Northern and
Western capitalists. There were—
Mr. Robert Bonner, of New York,
whose name is familiar as the owner of
the New York Ledger, one of the lead
ing literary journals of the country, and
as the owner of Maud S. and other fa
mous trotting horses.
Mr. II. Busbey, editor ofTurf, Field
and Farm, published in New York,one
of the foremost agricultural and stock
journals of the United States.
Mr. James Yerner, of Pittsburgh, a
.fl3,000,000 aire and railroad king of
his State.
Mr. David McCargo, General Mana
ger of the Alleghanev Valley Railroad,
in whose private car the parly were
traveling. Lambert, of Oil City, Pa.,
Mr. It. G.
Slate Senator from his district, and
president of the Franklyn Bank in his
place. And Col. J. W. Echols, who is
now
one of the leading attorneys of Allegha
ney, Pa.
• The arrival of such a party of distin
guished gentlemen in our midst could
but create more or less excitement in
our village, and all that evening they
were visited hy our citizens who were
anxious to welcome them and who had
at the same time some looked, curiosity to Those see
just how millionaires
in this party were found to be unpre
tentious (as are all millionaires who are
accustomed to being such) and most af
fably pleasant gentlemen. They which wel
comed all visitors to their car,
was a palatial home on wheels, and
made all their guests feel free and easy.
Had it been known just when they
were to arrive, some kind of formal re
ception would have been tendered the
party, but as it turned out it was best
that there was none. It was not what
the gentlemen wanted. They prefer
red rather to come unheralded, for, as
Col. Echols informed us, they came they to
see the South and its people as re
ally are and did not care to have any
special couitesies extended them.
They had come to Lexington intend
ing to spend several days bird hunting
on the Echols plantation in Simston dis
trict, hut Monday dawned with such
unfavorable weather, and as one or two
of the party were threatened with
grippe, that part of their program was
dispensed with and a trip to Augusta
and on to Florida subsituted, whither
they started Monday evening. for They the
expect to return iu October
hunt.
Leaving as they did sooner than they
expected, denied many of our citizens
the pleasure of paying them their res
pects. We only had a short con versa
tion with them, but enough to be as
sured that every member of the party
was highly pleased with the South and
particularly with this section. Their
stay of Friday and Saturday at the big
farm of Col. James M. Smith afforded
them, so all said, more interesting
sight-seeing than any other slop that
had been made. They were carried
away with Col. Smith as a host and
very much struck with his large opera
tions and how he managed them. party
We regret that the stay of the
in our midst was cut so short, and hope
that the visit will be repeated in the
fall as promised. We feel assured that
the more they see of our section the
better they will like it, and to be well
thought of by such gentlemen he well thought as com
posed this partv is to
of indeed. We will look forward to
their second visit.

Mr. Jas. Berry, the owner of the en

that he will get another as soon as it
can be shipped him, and will continue

engine would he sufhcient to make him

His Bond not Filed.
In a fist published in Wednesday’s
Constitution of counties whose tax
collectors have failed to file bonds
within the time prescribed by law, we
find Oglethorpe. This being the case
it is the duty of the Governor to dc
dare the office vacant and order anoth
cr election, and we are therefore with
out a tax-collector for the present. We
h aV e not had an opportunity to see Mr.
Bridges, who was re-elected to that of
f ice j n January, and learn whether or
no t his bond has been forwarded,
gjbly it has but was miscarried in
the mails. Something of the kind
mus t be the case, for Mr. B. can easily
make the bond required.

An Important Railroad Will
Probably Come.
FROM MACON TO THE 6., 0. & N.
Making- a Connecting Link Between
Two of the Greatest Railway Sys
tems in the State or South.
A genuine railroad sensation drop
ped on Lexington Tuesday evening
lost.
It came unheralded and so suddenly
as to almost take our breath, yet it is
one that will surely materialize and
one lhat means a great deal for our
town and section.
Our first intimation of it was when
Mr. F. S. Davis hunted 11 s up and gave
us for publication the notice which ap
pears elsewhere of the application for
a charter for the Macon and North
eastern Railroad Company.
We had never heard of such a road
bcforc and it being evident by the pub
lieation of the notice in Tin-; Echo that
it was one in which our county was in
tcrcstcd, we asked Mr. Davis to tell us
something about it; where it would
probably be located, who was going to
build it, how much would have to sub
scribe to secure it, etc., etc. where
“Of course I can’t sav just it
will go,” said Mr. Davis, “but as Hex
uigton is almost directly on an air-line
between its proposed terminii, your
town stands a good chance of built getting the
it. The same capitalists who road
South Georgia and Florida from
Macon to I alatka, r In. and arc now
building the Macon & .Birmingham and
the Georgia, Carolina & Northern road
are behind the enterprise, it being
tlieir intention, as the application for
charter says, to build from Macon to
some point on the latter road, thereby
forming a connecting link between the
three roads, the whole forming a grand
through system from the north to Elor
ida, Alabama and really on to. Kansas
City and the West.
“ We don’t ask anything continued of the peo
pie along the fine,” right of Mr. Da
vis, “except a wav or reasona
hie prices for the same. Our company
controlls ample capital to carry out
their projects without the assistance of
the people of the towns and sections
through which their roads will run, ;
and therefore we ask no inducements.”
This is the way we like to hear it
talked. It sounds business-like, and
we have more faith in enterprises with told
si c'i talk behind them. We were
hy Mr. Davis that a corps of surveyors
would he put upon the line within the
next week or ten days with instructions
to run the best line in accordance with
the topography of the country. Whcth
er or not this will bring it through
Lexington remains to be found out,
Wc are in high hopes that it wiil
though, and fed confident that it will
come through the objective the county. point the G.
While on
C. & N. road is Elberton. Mr. Davis
says it is not improbable that that the con
nection will be made cast of place,
as from what he knew of the country a
better route could he obtained. This
would throw the direct line between
the terminii across the eastern portion
of this county.
But come where it may it will he a
great road for this section. As Mr.
Davis says it will be a part of one of
the grandest railroad systems iu the
South. It will give us direct and the
shortest railroad communication with
the North over the G. G. & N. It will
also give us another route to Atlanta
about as short as by the Georgia competitive road
and thereby insure us
rates of freight. At Macon it will con
nect with the South Georgia and Flori
da which runs through the best lumber
region of the South. Here it will also
connect with the Macon & Birmingham
road, now being built between those
two cities, and which is really r a part of
a system between Birmingham and
Kansas city, the whole forming a route
eighty-five miles shorter than any oth
er from Georgia to the west, over
which to Import our grain and stock,
It would give us a short and direct fine

Editor Echo:—I see in your last is
sue a piece headed “A protest is En
lered,” referring to the last called meet
ing of the County Alliance, in which
you say one of the most important parts
of the proceeding, so it leaked out, was
the adoption of a strong resolution pro
testing against a recent ruling Livingston, hy Pres
ident of the State Alliance
which greatly affects this particular Al
fiance. No such resolution was passed,
The question was debated and referred
to sub-Alliances, the proper of place for
it, as it is not the property thoCouu
ty Alliance yet, and will not be until
the subjects refuse to go out, or the
sub-Alfiance refuse to drop their names
from their roll. Then it becomes the
duty of the County Alliance to revoke
the charters of such sub-Alliances.
But we anticipate no trouble. Every
man who has joined the order has in
his affirmation before God said he would
faithfully support the constitution and
laws of the order. The constitution
says that a country preacher, doctor is a country eligible
teacher or a country
to membership in the The order. Ocala (See Ar
tide 4, section 1.) convcn
lion says preachers, teachers and doc
tors living in incorporated towns and
villages are not eligible, ruling direct
To say that that is a
thrust at one or two in this county is
ridiculous, to say the least of it. The
idea of thirty-live Stales meeting in a
convention and establishing such a law
for a direct thrust at two little men in
little Oglethorpe county, making it
binding on all those counties which
reach from the gulfs to the lakes, 1
will leave it for you to draw your own
conclusion,
Some seem to think that it is Living
ston, of his own accord, sending out
this ruling. Why, he is the only doing his
duty as president this ruling, of it S. F. A. down in

from supreme

they cannot rule him they try to ruin
