FORSYTH, MONROE COUNTY-, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING. JULY 5, 1887 THE NEW WESTERN LINE- ] A TALK WITH DR. WEST ON ITS PROSPECTS. The Entire Route Between Birmingham and Savannah Located—The Enter prise to Be Pushed to Completion. Savannah Morning News. Dr. J. A. A. West, who is the mov ing spirit in the Birmingham and Atlantic Air-Line railroad, is in the city for the purpose of settling the route between Savannah and the Ogeechee river and locating an en trance into the city. Mr. West said last night that the Alabama and Georgia divisons have now been con solidated and the entire line is under one company and one management. The line has been located from Bir mingham to within a few miles of Savannah, passing through Roanoke, Louina, Ashland, Talladga, La- Grange, Thomaston, Macon and Dublin. Two construction camps I have been established between Sa vannah and Macon, and another would have been established yester day but for the bad weather. The road when completed will give an air line to Birmingham, 125 miles shorter than any other line, running through a country that will compel only light grades and no sharp curves. GOOD RCTURNS ASSURED The timbar interests lying in the eastern division ot the road and the agricultural interest further west will alone support it after it is in opera tion, not to speak of the immense amount of mineral products that will come from Birmingham. Besides that, it will have air-lino connections through to the great northwest by means of the gulf railroad that will afford a direct route to Kansas City. Dr. West mentioned the fact that the road will have an extensive ter ritory all its own; a territory lying between the East Tennessee, Vir ginia and Georgia and the Georgia Pacific cn the south and the Central on the north. ONLY GOOD WILL WANTED. Thc a ffa irsof th c com pany, Dr. Wcs t says, are in excellent condition, and the men now behind the enterprise have money and are willing to spend it in building the road. All they ask is the co operation 'of the people who will share with them the advan tages to be derived from it. This has been freely extended by the people along the line except at this end. Here, despite tlie immense profit that would result from the building of the line, the officers say there are some people who are pur suing such a course in the matter ot the right of way as i calculated to involve the projectors in a multitude of difficulties. EXORBITANT DEMANDS. A number of people who own land through which the road would pass are holding absolutely worthless marsh land at fabulous prices. One man who has a farm just thcothcr side the Ogee'chec river had granted the right of way over a part of his land and on Friday he stood watching the workmen grading over the re maining portion without a thought of stopping them. On Saturday he came into the city, and, as J)r. West expressed it, fell into the hands of a lawyer. The result was that a mess enger was sent to his farm ordering work stopped, and the doctor was informed that the company could have the right of way for §2,000, one-half cash and one-half in stock. 70 FREEZE THEM OUT. Dr. West reports daily to the offi cers of the company in New York, and he said it was exceedingly dis tasteful for him to have to report to them that the land owners around Savannah are throwing such obsta cles in the way of the work, and to avoid it ho has telegraphed tor a corps of engineers, who will be in the field within forty-eight hours surveying anew route. lie says that if nothing else can bo done, the railroad company will avail itself of the very explicit laws that govern rights of way, condemn the land, and it the owners demand exorbitant prices let a jury deter mine a fair valuation, lie says that as the general manager of the com pany, he is prepeared and willing to give just and fair compensation for any damages done by the building of the line, but be will not submit to extortion. While here he proposes to ask the city council to advise him what streets he can have for terminal fa cilities. Marshavillk Tim es : Wild goose plums sell readily at 81 per bushel on the trees, and five bushels are often gathered from a single tree. It is as impossible to glut the market with those plums as with cotton or corn. Now take your pencil and make a calculation. You put 170 trees on one acre ; at 85 per tree you get 8850. Divide that by two for disasters, and you have 8425 per acre profit. Or divied by five, and you have 8170 clear profit to the acre, if sold on the trees. If you prefer shipping you may safely double the above figures. Bad Bowels.

NOT THE FIRST STEAM WAGON. One of Maine’s Sons Thinks He Can Drive Ills Cart a Mile a Minute. From the Lewiston Journal. “The rich can ride in chaises,” and the}' can ride in a steam wagon, too, if they will come to Lewiston and essay what the teeming brain ot a remarkable Lewiston inventor has attained. In the first place it is a wagon. It is built on the principle ot a grocery wagon. Some of the extra heavy grocery teams on the street might have served for the ba sis of the contrivance, except the in ventor, Edwin F. Field, desired that it be extra strong, aud so he had the wheels and axle and cross-bars, ect., built a trifle heavier than on the or dinary grocery wagon. Its shape 13 the same. Its wheels are tne same in size and shape. Its wagon body is exactly the same as that of the ordinary delivery wagon, with iron bands. The boiler, which is upright sits on the rear axle. Power is ap plied by cogged wheels to the roar axle, to which the bind wheels are rigidly affixed, so that the movement of the machinery propels the wagon. The front wheels are independant of machinery, and are simply steeling gear. The engine is a double cylin der condensing engine, controlled by the link motion, exactly as in the locomotive. It can be reversed or stopped from the driver’s seat. Water is earned in a small tank under the wagon bed. The engine exhausts into the boiler—the exhaust being easily controlled from the driver’s seat. The boiler is a five-horse pow er, tested to 400 pounds pressure, and capable of carrying 300 pounds without the slightest difficulty. The engines develop four-horse power with 100 pounds pressure, or twelve horsepower with 300 pounds. With hard coal, the boiler will make no smoke or steam. The de sign of the builders is to conceal ev erything’ and they expect, when fin ished, that the contrivance will not be very odd in appearance, and that it will not frighten horses any more than a bicycle or a street sprinkler. Every portion of the machinery is made with the view to strength. Various inventions on the boiler make it specially valuable, yrhile every part of the engine has been designed and built expressly icy v ho purpose, arid is full ot odditis ',” i its l ntiouo. TU the wheels iron-hnbbed. The bifid wheels are 13 feet in diameter. The water tank holds half a barrel, and would suffice fora run of twenty-five miles. “Have you ever run it ?” was asked of Mr. Field. “Yes,” was the reply. “We have worked the engines and wheels, but haven’t tried it on the ground yet. It was a groat success. The hind wheels went in a perfect buzz. We estimated it at 800 revo lutions a minute ; and as the carriage 1 will advance about five feet a rev olution, we reckon that, making due allowance, the wagon would have been going considerably faster than a two-minute clip. 1 dou’t particu larly see any limit to the attainment ot speed except the courage of the driver.” Mr. Field has about completed the machine. A description does it no sort of credit, and the public should see it to appreciate it. There is no sort of doubt but that the machine will go, and that it can be steered and controlled. From the wayside brook the water tank can bo filled, and from the coal looker the fires of the boiler. Mr. Field thinks that the machine can go a mile a minute. He will have the hind wheels drilled and corrugated for teeth, provided there is not friction enough ; but he says that ho has no fear about the friction. Coca-Cola takes away tired feelings. .*>. A Bald Man’s Invention. St. Louis Republican. I have only known of one instance wher baldness proved remunerating. A friend of mine who had a shining pate fell, into the habit of watching the actions ot his tormentors—the flies. He noticed that a fly always walked upward. Put a fly on a window and up he goes toward the top ; he cant be made to walk down ward. So my bald headed friend hit upon an idea. Why not use that habit against them? lie forthwith made a window screen divided in half. The upper half lapped over the lower, with an inch of space be tween. Well as soon as a fly would light on a screen it would proceed to travel upward, and would thus walk straight out-dooors. On reaching the top of the lower half he would be outside. Not being able to walk down he had nonvay to return to the room. By this means a room can be quickly cleared ot flies, which always seek the light. My friend has got out a patent, and proposes to begin a systematic war against the household pests. Sight Improved. New York City', April 7, 1884. Mr. A. K. Hawkes : Dear Sir Y'our patent eye-glasses received some time since, and am very much gratified at the wonderful change that has come over my eve-sight since I have discarded my old glasses, and am now wearing yours. ALEXANDER AGAR. Blank Book Manufacturer and Sec y Stationers’ Board of Trade. A Suggestive Story. Morning Xews. Soon after the close of the war six 3-o uner men entered college from a small town in Georgia. They were the sons of gentlemen who had been fortunate enough to save something from the wreck caused In* the aboli tion of slavery and the invasion of the Federal armies. The young men ranked well in college, and when their course was completed they* were fairly equipped for making a living. Five of them became law yers and one of them a doctor of medicine. Of the five who entered the legal profession one became dissatisfied with his pocuniary gains at the end of two years and made up his mind that he would have nothing more to do with courts and juries, lie de termined he would educate himself to work with his hands. Accordingly, he went to Massachusetts and enter ed a school of technolog}'. lie had just money enough to pay his expen ses during his course, and, eonse quently, mode the most of his oppor tunities. lie graduated as a skilled machinist, and at once sought em ployment in the shops of a railroad in a state which borders on Georgia, llis employers were not slow to discover that lie was of great value to them, so they gradually promoted him until he became Superintendent of the shops with a salary of §2,500 a }’ear. Under his guidance the employes became hotter workmen. In the course of time the owners of the railroad found it unnecessary to send north for engines and cars, for the young Georgian demonstrated that the}- could he built in the shops under his control. The president of an Illinois railroad made his ae quantance, and was favorably im pressed by his ability. The result was an offer of the position of su]>erintendent of large railroad shops in an Illinois city. The salary was §3,500. When the owners of the railroad for which the young Georgian was working were informed of the offer, they said : “Stay with us ; we will give you §5,000 a year.” He stayed. In less than a year 110 was made general superintendent of the railroad, with a salary of §7,500 a year. Subsequently, he was offered a position as general superintendent of a Canadian railroad, lie accepted the.offer, and he now receives for his T n’e men V/hor, the young Georgian left in his native town continued their struggle to win fortune and renown. Two of the lawyers have served terms in the general Assembly. Only one of them has made and saved as much as §IO,OOO. Two have property worth, perhaps, §2,500 hut they are dependent upon their practice for their living. The fourth would have starved if he had not had his father’s assistance. The physician is still alive, hut ho has saved nothing and is in debt. The story of these young men teaches a lesson. The professions of law and medicine in Georgia are so crowded that only a few can make reputation and money in them. The man, however, whose mind and hands arc educated can hardly fail to take a high position and to gain a competency, if not a fortune. Chipman’s Pills cure sick headache. Free Baggage Delivery. At a recent meeting of the Vander bilt general passenger agents at Sar atoga it was agreed tiiat, commen cing July, 1, all the Vanderbilt lines will cheek baggage free to and from the residences of passengers between any of the following important cities: V ew York, Boston, [Albany, Saratoga, Buffalo, Cleveland, Cineinati, Indian apolis, Chicago and St. Louis. The passenger purchses his ticket at the regular rate, and the company’s ag ent calls at his residence, checks his baggage, and delivers it to him again at any specified place within the limits of the city to which he is des tined. This is an important and commendable advance in railroad passenger travel, and will doubtless have to he followed by other lines. It will be rather severe on Jhackmen and transfer companies, hut it will be a great accommodation as well as an economy to the passenger whose way lies from one of the above cities to another. Several lines have talked of adopting this system of free baggage delivery, hut the only points between which it is now in vogue are New York and Philadel phia. The Pennsylvania railroad adopted it between those two cities some months ago. Bucklen’s Arnica Salve. The Best Salve in the world for Cuts, Bruises, Sores, Ulce*s.

Blackmail on Rampage. Under the above heading, and speaking of the opposition in the northern states to the president’s recent order for a return of the battle flags to the southern states the Courier Journal says: Nobody in the south, certainly no southern state and no Confederate soldier, cares a nickle whether the battle-flags are returned or not. If there be a single soldier of the north who would retain them as trophies, he is welcome to all the glory and all the display which they can recall to his mind or bring to his heart. To us they mean nothing whatever. Assuredly, they betoken no greater loss on the side of the north than on that of the south, and, to sound and healthy understanding, it is incon ceivable how their possession can bo a matter of moment or concern to any patriotic bosom. As well might wo rejoice in the perservation and exhibition of the bloody-paraphcrn alia of the hospital, or tho rotting cerements of the grave. That morbid rhetoricans, who know as little of war as they care about truth—quite carried away by their own slaughter of epithets and overcome by the iust of conquest by proxy—should air their verbose finery and sport a spurions patriot ism or suggestion of this kind is characteristic of the lion-hearted quill-driver and tho roaring bongal slinger of ink ; but when the real matter is boiled down to an essence, tho phial containing it will he label ed, if labeled at all, “black mail.” Under tho whole of this clamor there lurks a deliberate, carefully planed conspiracy between thesvvash uuckler and the demagogue to rob the Treasury. The veto of the dependent pension hill was tho motor —the Cofederate battle-flag order is the singal. Tho impecunious brave and tho profes sional tramp, leu by tho political black-leg, are to form an army of advance upon Washington under cover of a sentiment, which in every age and clime has been the desperate last resort of men rcgardlesss of their country and reckless ofconsoquences. There is to be one last orgy around the dying embers of sectional strife before the party of venom dies its death. There is to bo one final rally of all the elements of vindictiveness and rapine beloro.vlhe despicable leaders of thispftrty rehnquUh thefr faith in hate as a political creed.
