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. J. J.
