O. D. GORMAN A. R. A. HOLMES, Proprietors VOL. IV. TALBOTTON STANDARD. 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.

It is reported that a son of Brigham Young is going to marry a newly estab lished female seminary. Why should an old maid go to the theatre before the rise of the curtain 1 Because then there is a chance of an overture. Kaiser Wilhelm, Eruperor of Germany, was 76 years old last Saturday, and his birth day was celebrated by a deco ration of Berlin in the day time, and a general illumination at night Postal cards have been received with great favor in Franco; 2,931,600 at two cents and 4,481,100 at three cents were sold in ten days, and the circulation of letters has not diminished. —•— 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.
