and friends in the county and so
he was not personally molested
but was ostracised by every white
person not his near kin. But when
“Uncle Billy” believed lie was right
he would do what ho considered
his duty, though the heavens fall
In recounting his reason for this
vote, “Uncle Billy” said he wag op
posed to war and by conviction a
strong Union man. He felt that
Lincoln's election meant a preserl
vatlon of the Union and a demo
cratic victory secession.
After the war “Undo Billy” af
filiated with tho republican party,
but had no part in the carmagnole
of commotion that characterized
the reconstruction era. He voted
his party ticket, but neither nought
or would accept office. Ho did not
affiliato with tho negro element
that for a time ruled tho state,
and whilo attending his party’s
convention always threw his In
fluence for law and order and good
government.
RAILROAD
BUILDER
“Uncle Billy’ owned a large body
of land in Hart and Franklin coun
ties and freely devoted his time
and money toward developing his
section. He was overflowing with
public scplrited enterprise, and
united in any movement that could
advance his people or build up his
section. Ho was a broad-minded
man in the fullest acceptation of
that term. He was on% of the <•’
promoters In building the Elborton
and Taccoa railway, and also in
the construction of the Hartwell
branch. Tie had abiding faith in
the future of his section and with
out doubt or hesitation contributed
his money toward any public en
terprise.
But not content with these two
railways, alone and unaided he set
in to built a railroad from cannon
to Carnesvllle. In thjs he had but
.little If any aid and no encourage
ment. But “Uncle Billy,” like unto
Cardinal Rlchetou, “knew no such
word as fail.” When ho decided
that a railroad should be built to
Carnesvllle be set to work with
la own money and such pittance*
s he couid get .parties on the Une
to RuUsttife. #« **4 fitM
*mc that somo colored people g*Y®
a day’s work and' he Issued them
• stock certificates to the amount of
fifty cents In tho Carnesvllle rail-
* way. Jle somehow managed to
I grade about seven miles of the
line, and purchased a small loco
motive that ho named “Peter
1 Carnes,” for Judge JCarnea, he
bought somo flat iron and nailed
this on wooden stringers, ran his
car to Ixatnor’s Gap, a distance of
five miles from Cannon. He spent
.bis available cash and getting no
aid from Carnesvllle or elsewhere,
I tho project was abandoned. H®
filled some of tho low places win!
saw dust from a mill near the line.
Had tho citizens of Cr***"-‘ oils
joined “Uncle Billy” in completing
this road, and which they should
have done, that town would today
be a second Hartwell instead ot
left behind In the march ot pro
gress. . .
A monument should some day be
erected for “Uncle Billy' Bowers,
for his section and posterity owe
him a debt of gratitude.

the exercise of greater caution. The Banner-Herald is hetnrtily in accord with the
