Tuesday, October 26, 1880.
The; North Mvstrrn Railroad.
Through the kindness of Dr. H. A.
Lowrnnce, secretary of the road, we
have been allowed access to the re
ports which were made at the anoual
meeting of the stockholders, day
before yesterday, and from them we
extract such matter as will probably
interest the readers of the Banner.
SYNOMIS OF PRESIDENT’ 8 REPORT.
President Childs, in his report,
stated that the directors had changed
the ending of the fiscal year from
October 1st, to August; 31st, and
therefore bis report would be for
eleven months. For this term,
The gross earnings are..-..$47,670,71
Expenses 30,238,63
Earnings over expenses....
Net earnings for Sept—...
17,432,63
2.250,00
Net earnings for 12 months. 19,682,63
- The increase of operating expenses
will necessarily continue, as the cross'
ties first' placed on the road are fast
wearing out. The extraordinary ex*
penditures are accounted for in the
purchase of a new passenger coach,
which was absolutely necessary, at a
cost of $3,900. During the next few
years the extraordinary expenditures
will increase, as the rolling stock will
have to be repaired, and also added
to, to do the increasing business of
the road.
During the past four years, $14,500
have been paid out of the earnings of
the road, for buildings, engines and
cars, and during all that time, the in*
tercst has always been met promptly
as it become due. The road-bed,
bridges, buildings <&c., are now in
excellent condition.
ESTIMATES OF COST.
Since the last annual convention,
the directors have had the line of road
from Lula to North Carolina line,
permanently and definitely located.
The profiles, estimates «fcc., are now
in the office of the company. Capt. J.
O. Turner, the civil engioeer, who
had this work in hand estimates that
the cost of grading, trestling, masonry,
cross-ties &c., from Lula along the
Air-Line road, to the point of leav
ing the same, (about 4i miles) will
be $14,435.30; the same from the
point of departure from the Air»Line
road to Clarksville, $70,640.70, mak
ing a total for the first twenty miles,
of $85,076 ; and from Clarksville to
Rabun Gap $275,006. Total from
Lula to Rabnn Gap $360,082—a dis
tance of about 50 miles. The cost of
the same work for the five miles from
Rabun Gap to the North Carolina
line, is $13,320, making the total
irom Lula to the North Carolina line
$373,402. Leaving out cross-ties,
the cost would be $340,402; average
cost per mile 86,189,13. These esti
mates, Capt. Turner says, are liberal;
and contractors would take the work
for less than these figures.
AS TO THE EXTENSION.
Under discretionary authority giv
en by the board of directors, Presi
dent Childs stated that he had taken
steps to secure the rights of way along
tho entire line, and bad alio given
instructions to solicit subscription of
slock.
He advised against any action look
ing to the completion of the road,
which contemplates a transfer of the
control of the riad from tho present
stockholders ; and also against letting
contracts for any portion of the ex
tension, except on the faith of bona
fide subscriptions to pay for the work
as done. In these views he had the
unanimous support of the board o|
directors then iu office.
He was satisfied, however, that
some steps should he taken at once
to secure necessary stock subscription
to grade and iron and operate the
road, at least as far as Clarksville. If
this is done, the road will not only
secure ample business to justify the
extension, bnt it will then be in such
position as will necessitaie making it
a link in the trunk line from the west
to the south Atlautic coast, when
that line is ultimately completed.
Every mile built and operated to-
wards Knoxville renders it more cer
tain that the road will be 'a part of
the great trank line which the com
mercial needs of too south and west
emainl, at no distant day,
President Childs thought' that the
idea of foreign aid should be aban
doned, and that earnest, persistent
effort should be made to raise local
subscription to grade the road at
least to.Clarksville, at once. When
the superstructure has been done and
paid for with’the proceeds of stock
,Uon,\*e re pdltha no diffiohl*
curing iron to eqpip' the road,
(j,would be" no difficulty in
having the road built by other parties,
provided the present stockholders
would sacrifice their own interest in
bft to se
cure the fruits of the entepriso per
manently Xo the city of Athena, the
country contiguous to the road, and
the present stockholders, it is abso
lutely ekeetuiolkhat the control of the
road be'retainod as’at present. Any
would prove suicidal to
I have given
well deserved tribute to Col. Lyman
Wells, the superintendo t.
Col. Childs tendered his resignation,
for the reasons stated in yesterday’s
Banner.
TIIK SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
The superintendent’s report of the
operations of the road, was substan
tially stated in the opening of the
president’s report, and need uot be
repeated here.
The net earnings for the past fiscal
year, show a net increase over those
of the preceding year, of nearly two
per cent, notwithstanding the extra
ordinary expenditures, as mentioned
by the president. The net earnings
for September 1880, show an increase
of about eight per cent, over those of
the same month in 1879.
The principal items of ih* increase
in operating expenses have been in
curred on account of pool balances,
amounting to $1550.60, and for cross-
ties, $3072.51. •
The track is in good sate running
order, and the road-bed in good con
dition to withstand the coming winter
season. The bridges and trestles
needed some repairs, which have been
made. A new depot is being built at
Nicholson station. -
The motive power is in sufficiently
good condition to do the work of the
present season, without any extraor
dinary repairs. The rolling stock
needs some repairs, little or none hav
ing been made upon it heretofore.
The road has been operated for the
past eleven months, without any acci
dents of a serious nature; and the
employes of the company have been
diligent and faithful in the discharge
of their duties.

The;i*ebatc; Between BeU and Speer.
The joint debate between Messrs.
Bell and Speer, the two candidates for
congress, came ofi at the courthouse
Thursday, 14lh. About as large an
audience as could get into the house
was present. Mr. Speer asked of the
audience the same oourteous attention
tor Mr. Bell, which was acceded to
himself in Gumming, Mr. Bell’s home.
Col. Bell opened the debate. Be
said he represented the organized de
mocracy, that organization is the law
of the mental, moral, social and physi
cal universe. Mr. Speer thinks that
democrats are cliques—that the peo
ple have not virtue and intelligence
enough to select their own candidate.
Independent candidacy -is a repudia
tion of party authority and party
principles, and alliance with the other
party. He charged Mr. Speer with
being an unsound democrat, that
after bis election he united with the
democratic caucus and then united
with the republicans on one of the
most vital questions that came before
congress—the opposition to attaching
a rider to the appropriation bills. The
republicans, applanded Speer’s posi
tion, and not his speech, and he ob
tained time from one of them to ex
tend his speech. He cited Jonathan
Norcross to prove that Speer aided
the republicans.
The speaker stated that Speer says
his record is bis platform, and then
went on to show that his record was
not such as to warrant the support of
the democrats, that it was a record of
infidelity aud desertion. That Speer
had done nothing to repeal the odious
revenue laws; that he had supported
tK6 bill opposing" • ridersthat out
of 58 votes, Speer had dodged or been
absent when 28 had been called—
though he admitted that for some of
the absences Mr. Speer had the excuse
of family affliction.
He defended himself in the Whit
more esse, said he simply requested
the bill taken off the file, so that it
might have a hearing, that he would
have voted against it, if it had come
up. He.cited his speeches to show
that he was in favor of educating the
colored people. He admitted that he
wanted the votes of the colored peo
ple, but said he wanted them
democrat, and because he had a just
conception of their wants and their
rights. ■ /
Mr. Bull’s speech was really a good
one, and was listened to attentively
throughout. It was calm, dignified
manly, and was calculated to win the
respect of his opponents.
When Mr. Speer took the stand,
he was greeted by enthusiastic cheers
which showed plainly that the most of
the audience was with him. He said
that Jmdid Hot deny that the people
had a right^to select their own candi
dates ; that be objected to candidates
being brought out by rings; that Mr.
Bell was as much a self-appointed can
didate as hitoaelf, because be sought
the nomination and worked to that
end. He claimed that he is a demo
crat, but not a ring democrat nor the
JavawfaeaRfus.^
He defended his course against at*
taching riders to appropriation bills.
Be might be a poor democrat on this
account, but he wa- with Hill, Ste
phens, Bayard, Eaton, and others. He
cited the teffiimony of Messrs. Spring
er and Stephens, and the Tammany
Hall committee to show how his de
mocracy is regarded.
He then cited various letters to
show that Bell was willing to collude
with the republicans to defeat him,
and began to read what R. S. Taylor
said about Bell's ageucy iu bringing
out Archer. Bell here arose and pro
nounced the statement false.
He charged that Mr. Bell, in bis
four years in congress, failed to de
fend his people once, against the at
tacks of their enemies. He said that
some of Mr. Bell’s greatest speeches
(so-called) were made at the Satur
day sessions in which no business
whatever could be transacted.
He said, with cutting satire, that
he could not tell whether the country
would lose more by his occasional
absence in congress, or Bell’s continual
presence. lie defended bis vote on
the Washburne—Donnelly case, and
said he voted to seat Washburne—
republican though he was—because
he was clearly elected by over 3,000
majority. He claimed that he had
done much more for the district in
getting post routes, offices, than Bell
ever did.
He charged perfidy on Bell in be
coming a candidate after be had said
he would not. That Bell said he had
been “ hogged out of the nomina
tion ” two years ago. Mr. Bell de
nounced this as an unqualified false
hood, and said that wiiat be did say
was in reply to false statements of
Speer’s friends.
Mr. Speer said that independent’
ism is based on the principle that the
will of the people should prevail, and
closed with an extract from a speech
he made in congress.
When Mr. Bell rose to reply, there
was considerable confusion, so much
so that Mr. Speer rv.se snd begged his
friends to remain quiet and give Mr.
Bell a hearing.
Mr, Bell’s second speech was main
ly a repetition of his first. When he,
was speaking about the letter to Dr.
Carlton, that gentleman arose and in
quired if Mr. Bell denied those state
ments. Mr. Bell said he did ; where
upon Dr. Carlton said that in so deny
ing, Mr. Bell did violence to his honor
and his veracity, and degraded his
high profession.
Mr. Bell repeated that the state
ments as read are untrue. Dr, Carl
ton's conduct in furnishing this letter
to a bitter opponent, he would leave
to the verdicts of an honorable and
intelligent people.
l)r. Carlton again rose, aud said
that Mr. Bell, in his letter to Dead-
wyler, contradicted himself and there
fore lie had nothing more to say.
Mr. Bell said Speer is the one he is
after, and told about two grand juries
of Gwinnett county ebargiug Speer
with misappropriating funds.
Mr. Speer here interrupted and
said, if Mr. Bell said that he dishon
orably appropriated other men’s
money, he was guilty of infamous
falsehood, and he knows it.
Mr. Bell said he did not say it is
true ; but two grand jurors, on their
oath said so. He then weut on with
his speech amid much confusion,
which was very discreditable to those
who indulged in it.
We have but one*word of comment
here. The debate was a clear and
decided victory for Speer.

A Chapel for) Lacy Cobb Institute.
Mr. Editor:—Several efforts have
been made lately to draw the atten
tion ol our citizens to the necessity of
erecting a suitable chapel for the Lucy
Cobb Institute. We think that chiv
alry, gallantry and the best affections
of onr nature should urge us to a
prompt and 'vigorous movement in
this direction.
A handsome building stands in the
college campus, an offering of our cit
izens to our noble sons. Shall we be
more negligent of the gentle, tender
ones who look up to us for suppott
and sustenance; and whose whole
lives are devoted to our comfort and
happiness ? We hope not. Let us
then be aroused at once to meet the
necessity. Let there be a noble, zeal
ous competition to see who will be
foremost in this worthy enterprise.
We have heard that the trustees cl
the Lucy Cobb Institute have author
ized Miss Rutherford to offer to tho«e
who subscribe a thousand dollars to
this purpose, a free scholarship in the
English, Latin and French depart
ment—this scholarship to continue for
an indefinite number of years. And
more thnn this, memorial windows
are to le placed in the chapel with
the uames of the liberal donors to
perpetuate and keep in memory their
noble generosity.
What better investment can be
made with our funds ? When banks
and bonds and stocks have all passed
away, year by year lovely daughters
will be reaping the fruit of this in
vestment, and will be blearing the
liberal hearts that devised the way
fur their improvement, and enlighten
ment. As they go forth to instruct
and enlighten others, who can calcu
late what the value of this investment
shall be? Patron.
Ohio, says the St. Louis Republi
can, promises to pan ont something of
a democratic victory after all, for it
begins to look now as if the republi
can majority polled in that State had
been cut down instead of being in
creased. This in Garfield 1 * home
State is not without significance, even
if it is not in proportion to the demo
cratic expectations. It is a complete
answer to any claim that the republi
can victory in Indiana indicates a rim
ilar change of public sentiment in
other States. Except in Indiana,
where imported negroes and imported
dollars covered up the great change
of public sentiment favorable to the
dfanoormojv every ; State which ha*
held elections this fall has shown
gain. In Alabama,
Georgia, these gains
net democratic
Arkansas and
were doubtless without
but democratic gains ,in Vermont
Maine and Ohio mean a great deal.
They more than offset the succeed of
the republicans in buying np Indiana.
