WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 9, 1873.
From the Columbus Sun. ]
Talbotton Branch—Sensible Sug
gestions.
The following letter has been handed
tus by a prominent gentleman of Talbot
with a request to publish it,
that it may be read and acted upon by
the people of Talbot Columbus feels a
deep interest in this road, and we know
the citizens will subscribe to this impor
tant enterprise, and hope they will adopt
the eensiblo suggestions contained in
Capt Chipley’s letter:
Columbus, Ga., March 22, 1873.
Dear Sir: lam without any of your
favors since the date of my last respects,
but I feel so much interested in the
" branch road ” project, that I have con
cluded to write again, and give you some
additional facts. 1 have given the scheme
more thought since the receipt of your
last letter, and feel confident that we can
de eyen better than I thought when in
Atlanta. Of course, the amount of grad
ing to bo done cannot be positively as
certained without an instrumenal sur
vey; but from the best information I
can obtain, I am led to believe that the
substructure—using the maximum grade
of the North & South Railroad—will
not exceed G,OOO cubic yards per mile.
There will be practically no bridging. I
would suggest that the cost of the su
perstrnet lire can be lessened nearly one
half by the use of the “ Angle patent
iron rail.” This rail is in no sense anal
agous to the old “ strap rail,” but is so
fashioned as to give the greatest possi
ble strength and rigidity for the weight
of the metal it contains, the perpendicu
lar flange being equivalent to the center
bar of a T rail of the same weight. The
use of this rail will bring the cost of a
railway within the financial ability of
very small communities. While the ex
pense is thus reduced, the road will be
first-class and uffoad every facility and
comfort,and even more safety than is en
joyed by roads with the T rail. The
earnings will be as large as the most
costly roads, thereby making it possible
to declare large dividends upon the
stock of the company. The Angle rail
fits upon a stringer with a perpendicu
lar flange upon the side.
First. It obviates the danger from bro
ken rails completely, for should the iron
rail break the wooden stringer will carry
the train over the broken place in safety.
Hecond. Its cost is less than half that
of a T rail <if the same capacity.
Third. It will wear longer, having a
wider bearing surface for tho wheels,
nnd^ being, as it were, cushioned by the
underlying wooden stringer.
Fourth. For the same reason it will
ride easier.
Fifth. For like reason it will largely
reduce the wear, and consequently the
expense of repairs to the rolling stock.
Sixth. It is equally well adapted for
light or heavy traffic. One half of the
weight of iron in all cases giving a great
er working capacity than in the T rail.
At the excessive high rates of iron and
the moderate cost of lumber this saving
will be very great.
Seventh. The fish plates (absolutely
necessary for a T rail) are dispensed
with, thus saving their cost and the con
stant care of keeping the fish plates
properly adjusted, an annoyance appre
ciated by every railroad manager. At
the joints of the Angle rail a simple plate
is used to prevent the ends of the iron
rails from settling in the wood from con
tinued use.
To estimate the cost of the branch to
Talbotton, place the average amount of
earth work to the mile at
6,000 cubic yd,.at 20c.per yard $1,200.00
Angle rail, 15 lbs, to yd., 23 1280-2280
tons per mile,at S9O 2,121.44
Wooden stringer, average size 3ixsin.
15,400 St sls 231.00
Sdi*e* 230.00
Cross-ties, 1760 per mile,at 25c 440.00
Laying track, per mil* 350.00
Total $4,578.44
Say, including surveys and contingen
cies, $4,750 per milo for 17 miles, the
estimated distance, is $80,750, a sum
certainly in reach of the county inter
ested in the “branch,” and most assur
edly not sufficiently large to deprive
Talbotton of railroad facilities much
longer. I feel a great interest in the
“branch” as a feeder to the North and
South, and as the best road for local
trade to Columbus ever projected. To
Talbotton it will carry a great deal of
business, while a road to Geneva would
not carry any. In suggesting the angle
rail I do not propose an experiment. It
has been fully tried and bears the en
dorsement of thq best engineers in the
country. The trains of the N. &8. can
run over it as heavily ladened and as
rapidly as over its main line. I not hes
itate to recommend its adoption by the
N. & S., but being untried in this sec
tion it might embarrass the company in
the question of .State endorsement. In
the construction of the “branch” this
question will not enter. There will be
found some who will never get out of
the rut, who will question the utility of
this new rail; just as they did the nar
row-guage theory. Had they been lis
tened Jo Harris county would have re
mained possibly for twenty years longer
without a railroad. If Talbotton and
the people on the line want this road,
now is the time to act. By the time the
necessary surveys can be made the best
working days in the year will be upon
us. They should not be lost. The North
and .South Company have all they can
comfortably carry in their engagements
incident to the construction of the main
line. But should those interested fur
nish the funds actually neecssary stock
will be issued for the same,and the com
pany will provide instuments and other
outfit, and place a competent corps in
tlie field at once. Now is the time, if
ever, to push this important enterprise
forward. Yours, truly,
W. D. CuIPLEY.
Railroad Development in the South.
—The Memphis Appeal says: The rapid
extension of railroads throughout the
.South has never had a parallel in its
own history, and is scarcely excelled
even in the great Northwest. In one
respect, at least, the South stands ahead
of competition—economy of the con
struction of its roads, tho strength of
their financial management, and their
sound reputation in the leading money
centres. This we may truthfully state,
with but few exceptions, is the general
estimation in which Southern railroads
are held nere. We attribute this very
largely to to the fact that, in a great de
gree, the people themselues, in the sev
eral States where roads are under con
struction or completed, have put their
shoulders to the wheel, and helped along
the ear of progress. They have taken
stock by granting right of way, by work
ing out contracts, by furnishing timbers
and subscribing money. They have not
first sought to issue a large amount of
wildcat stock based upon promised se
curity to throw upon the marketfor what
ever it might bring. The consequence
is good, strong, healthy, paying roads,
and more in rapid process of construc
tion.
Southern people are at last becoming
thoroughly aroused to the importance
of the development of all their material
resources' and they know that the first
step is to secure ample and cheap trans
portation facilities. Now let them be
wise enough to insist that these facilities
be cheap—that is absolutely necessary
to secure the full advantages of the
great increasem railroad lines through
out the.Sbuth.
Prof. Faraday on the Natural Dura
tion of Life.— According to Prof. Fara
day, the crime of suicide is very common
in this age of the world,for he intimates
that all who die under 100 years of age
may be charged with self-murder; that
Providence, having originally intended
man to live a century would allow him
to arrive at that advanced period if he
did not kill himself by eating unwhole
some food, allowing himself to be an
noyed by trifles, giving license to pas
sions, and exposing himself to accident.
Flourin advanced the theory that the
duration of life is measured by tho time
of growth. When once the bones and
epiphysis are united the body grows no
more, and it is at 20 years this union is
effected in man. The natural termina
tion of life is five removes from the sev
eral points. Man, being 20 years in
growing live —n should—s times 20
years; the camel is 8 years in growing,
and lives 5 times 8 years; the horse is 5
years in growing,and lives 25 years; and
so on with other animals.

Public Lands. —From the official re
port it is ascertained that during 1872
over ten millions seven hundred thou
sand acres passed from the dominion of
the Government into private hands.
This would make nearly seventy thou
sand farms of a hundred and sixty acres
each equivalent to three States the size
of Massachusetts. In Kansas and Ne
braska alone over fifteen thousand en
tries were made within the year under
the homestead law.
“WHAT IS IT BUT A MAP OF BUST LIFE, ITS FLUCTUATIONS AND ITS VAST CONCERNS.
TALBOTTON, GA., WEDNESDAY APRIL 9, 1873.
2he revised English census returns
show that the population of the United
Kingdom in 1871 was 31,628,388,
against 29,060,031 in 1861; Ireland de
creased 6.7 per cent. I’ho area of Eng
land and Wales by tho corrected re
turns i537,319,221 acres.
San Francisco is said to be the only
seaport in the United States employ
ing more American than foreign ton
nage. In 1872 American vessels brought
into San Francisco goods valued at
nearly thirty millions of dollars, whilst
foreign vessels brought less than ten
millions. The grain exports last year
employed vessels with 124,633 American
tonnage and 101,440 foreign tonnage—
these grain cargoes nearly all being
bound to ports on the Atlantic. "
The Texas Pacific Railroad, of which
Colonel Tom .Scott, of the Pensylvania
Central railroad, is President, is being
pushed forward with the utmost vigor,
and will soon span she entire .State from
east to west—from Marshall to Ell Pa
so-and stretching thence across through
the rich mineral regions of New Mexico
and Arizona to .San Diego, California,
ap a grand trunk line shorter by about
one-half than any which now connects
the waters of tho Atlantic and Pacific.
The Profit in Cotton Yarns. —The
Columbus Sun states that the present
has been a most propitious season for
the manufacturo of yarns. A pouud of
cotton for which eighteen cents were
paid, costs, when worked into yarns, in
cluding labor, twenty-five cents, while
the yarns have averaged thirty-five cents.
After paying taxes and insurance the
manufacturer realizes a profit of forty
per cent, or in that neighborhood.
Such statements, coming from a trus
worthy source, shouid have the effect to
stimulate the erection of cotton maufac
tures.
The Manufacture of Iron in Ten
nessee.— The manufacture of iron is at
tracting increased attention in Tennes
see. A company composed of f.lie Nash
ville and Chattanooga Railroad Compa
ny, the Tennessee Coal and Railroad
Company, and the lessees of tho Tennes
see penitentiary has been formed, with
a capital of $200,000, to establish a
largo blast with a capacity of thirty-live
tons of pig iron a day, at Cowan, on the
line of the Chattanooga Railroad. It is
said that pig iron can be made there
for $lB a ton—-cheaper than it can be
made at any other place in tho United
States.
Agassiz vs. Darwin. —There will be
many to rejoice that Professor Agassiz,
who is, we suppose, the most distinguish
ed of living naturalists, is no Darwini
an. On the Gtli instant, in a lecture at
Cambridge, Mass., ho said: “Man is
said to be the crowning point of an as
cending scale. Unquestionably he is
the highest created being, but he is the
culminating point especially of his own
series—of that vertebrate series to which
he belongs. No invertebrate animal
has any structnal relation to man what
ever, while every member of his own
type has an intimate structual relation
with him. The limitations keeping
each primary type within its own boun
daries have not been sufficiently consid
ered, and are, indeed, generally whollv
lost sight of. This carelessness of in
vestigation, or of statement, gives cur
rency to broad generalizations, partial
ly true indeed, but false when they are
made to cover too wide a ground.
Georgia. —lt is quite impossible, in
the columns of a single issue to give
more than an outline of the surpassing
natural resources of this Commonwealth.
The subject is so momentous that the
further it is investigated the more en
grossing does it become. The State is
one of the original thirteen. She has
been the home of many generations,
and her history is adorned with many
illustrious names. She is justly termed
the Empire State of the .South, and yet.
she is only in the infancy of her develop
ment. Wide tracks of her rich domain
are uncultivated; her forests are treas
ures of untold wealth, while a vast area
of her surface is underlaid with mines,
the value of which defies computation.
She is the foremost .Southern State in
cotton manufacture; but in this field
her success has only begun. In what
ever aspect the State is viewed, wheth
er in agriculture, in the utilization of
her forest, in the development of her
minerals or in in her manufactures, she
has but entered a career of achievment,
the grandeur of which will he witnessed
, by future generations.—New York South.
