THE MACON* ATHENSEAILROAD.
It seems to our people that At
lanta is evidently trying to• strangle
the projected railroad trom Macoc
to Athens, from the manner Nvia
which it seizes upon every idle re'
port that sgleen or self-interest puts
in circulation."There Kave"'lateTy
been published in the papers of
that city more than one article cal
culated to shako public confidence
in and cripple the prospects ot this
road, that upon investigation have
proven to be groundlessly false.
This was most unfair to an import

Let our people understand that
ia no imminent danger from
^hese earth-tremors. The suffering
in Charleston is a repetition of what
has often taken place at the sea-
coast, this time in a milder form.
The news from Charleston is bad
enough and the loss is a fearful
follower of the cyclones of last year,
but there is no reason why the peo-
pte of this rock-ribbed inhrior
should feel continued alarm. The
Banner-Watciiman has intima
ted that these disturbances are most
frequent during the equinoctual
adjustment of the earth’s crust in
its new position; not necessarily a
sign ol fresh disturbance.
The earthquake is nothing new,
however novel it may be here.
History has recorded them in every
century, and scientists this minute,
are revelling in the opportunity of
studying the earth’s surface and
classifying the forces of the interior.
These shocks may create a revolu
tion in housebuilding, especially
near the seacoast. It may bring
down the seven story structures to
a safe medium and strengthen the
architecture of th future. It may
• shake faith in terra firms as an im
movable base, put nervous people
to fright and make thoughtful men
grave. The earthquake is not an
b unmixed evil, however, and the
readjustments of the earth under
our feet may not prove in the long
run to be unwholesome.
GKX. JACKSONS UKSIliXATION.
It is stated quite positively that
Gen. Jackson’s resignation as Min
ister to Mexico will take effect
about Sept. 15. It has been on tile
in the State Department since July
12.
The reasons for Gen. Jackson’s
: -:signation have already been sta
ted. He likes the country and the
social life of the Mexican capital, but
he hasn't found everything to his
liking. He is an active, aggressive
man, and in his position there isn’t
any call for activity or aggressive
ness. The State Department is
quite conservative in its policy, and
is not disposed to step outside of
'.he beaten paths.
It has also been stated, and very
correctly, that Mrs. Jackson prefers
Savannah to Mexico. She went to
Mexico rather reluctantly and, the
impression is, has always desired
Gen. Jackson to resign the mission.
It is probable that Gen. Jackson
had -made up his mind to resign
when he was in this city last
spring. There was certainly no
surprise among his friends when
the report of his resignation was
first circulated.
There is a rumor that Assistant
Secretary of State Porter will be
his successor. It may be that Mr.
Porter has been in the Stale De
partment long enough to learn
something of diplomacy. It i« net
certain, however, that knowledge
ot that sort is deemed a necessary
qualification to fill foreign missions.

such haste to give publicity to un
favorable news when it will afle~t
Atlanta enterprises by the papers
of that city—so it really looks as if
there is a studied design there to
prevent the building of the Macon
& Athens road. We are surprised
that such ft paper as the Constitu
tion should publish these unfounded
reports without investigating them
first. It is just as great a wrong to
slander a corporation as it is an in
dividual, and to injure the credit of
one by false charges should be held
as criminal as to injure the standing
of the other. The M. & A. road
will be built and the cars running
into our city by next Christmas.
All the papers have been signed 1

and the money to pay for grading

think it is as little as she can do to
keep her hands ofT and mind her
own business.

PKNNSft LVANIA PROHIBITION,
The prohibitionists of Pennsylv
nia held a large *nd enthusiastic
convention at Harrisburg last week,
and nominated Charles S. Wolfe
for Governor. This gentleman has
hetetofore acted with the republi
can party. The Philadelphia
Times, in speaking of this conven
tion, remarks: “Unless some un
expected questions of foreign poli
cy shall sweep everything else be
fore it, the temperance problem
cannot be ignored two years ironr.
now. As the republican party grew
out ol the whig, the third parly
may yet force the republicans out
of business at the old stand. It is
not improbable that the prohibition
ists may hold the balonce of power
in the next presidential campaign
and carry with it the inevitable dis
ruption of party tiea later on. It is
these possibilities that make the
proceeding! at Harrisburg of more
than ordinary importance.” The
T mes has this to say of Mr. Wolfe
“The prohibitionists have wanted
leaders. In Wolfe they will have
one. There is no breath of suspi
cion against him. He has had the
training of practical politics, but
there is no stain upon his career.
He is without doubt the strongest
man in the party with which he ha«
chosen to form an alliance. He bat
the advantage of a wide personal
acquaintance all over the state, and
will take the stump and make !t
most aggressive campaign. It wili
be interesting to watch the result.
Franklin (N. C.) 1’resr.
Messrs. Editors:—Sometime
ago we noticed in your columns a
suggestion in connection with the
proposed Rabun Gap Short Line
Railroad, to which at the time we
could give no altention, but on
which our present leisure allows us
to comment briefly at will, and in
connection with which we wish to
consider a recent telegram to the
Atlanta Constitution, and copied in
your issue of last week, to the ef
fect that “dirt will be broken on
the line between Tallulah Falls and
Knoxville next year, and by 18SS
trains will be running through from
Athens to the latter point, the
money being ready to build and
equip the road.” We do not know
whether the purport of the tele
gram is to follow the proposed Ra
bun Gap Short Line, or adopt the
already projected line from Mari
etta. Ga., via Mnrphy, and connect
with Knoxville, but the latter cbtt-
elusion is most probable, we think,
especially when we consider the
above in connection with the-fact
ihat it’s already a foregone conclu
sion in the minds of the Richmond
& Danville spndicate to extend
their connections from some availa
ble point on the great W. N. C.
road, (now owned and controlled
by them) through to Knoxville, and
t iat they have by an unfavorable
decision—unfavorable, we think, to
the better interests of Western
North Carolina, and in the mean
time quite unfavoranle in the end
to the general interests of this great
and powerful corporation—centered
on Paint Rock as their tangent
point. However,' we will not an
ticipate any legitimate conclusion,
nor would we in any way affect the
role of adviser to great railroad cor
porations moneyed influences and
powers, so absolutely and indispen
sably necessary to the construction
of railroads and great enterprises,
nut there are cei tain considerations
ind influences inseparably connec
ted with the outlay ot large means,
ind the wise and judicious invest
ment of railroad capital, which we
think are not without their due im
portance. Like it is in every other
avenue, of the commercial world,
one of the first questions to ask in
connection with any great railroad
construction is, will it pay? In this
enlightened age "of civilization and
general development, the cost
mould always be carelully estima-
>ed before building. That great
philanthropic period lias passed—if
it ever existed—when railroad syn-
licates, corporations or companies
construct expensive lines for the
mere accommodation of disconnec
ted sections, or develop the materi
al interests of great common
wealths without some pretty well
lefii.cd ideas of private remunera
tion. Still it i* one of the fixed
principles, interwoven into the
very nature a nd existence ot
things—;he laws of trade espe
cially—for capital to seek profitable
fields lor investment—fields whose
proper development and vigorous
prosecution will always insure large,
or at least paying dividends upon
.the amounts expended. In order
the more certainly to do this, and
thus lurrish a more satisfactory so
lution to the above question, it i«
often a matter of the first impor
tance to weigh well and consider
truly the ground to be taken in all
of its phases and relations, as well
is the situation to be gained, and
the position to be occupied.
We think the grouno most cer
tainly to be taken, and the line to
pay the largest investment lor the
construction of such a railroad pro
ject as this great enterprise by
which the cities of Athens and
Knoxville are to be so closely con
nected—because they are to be one
■n p ogress and destiny—or to
speak still more plainly,' the line
above all others to be chosen for
the development of this great moun
tain section—East Tennessee,
Northeast Georgia and th’s thrill—
ng land of the sky, Western North
Carolina, are all meant here—sand
is a connecting link between the
multitudinous Louisville & Nash
ville system and the great Southern
Air-Line and its connections, is un
questionably the Rabun Gap Short
Line, and should the Richmond &
Danville syndicate see fit to reverse
ns decision and xtend its connec
tion direct from Chaileston OTNan-
ahala to Knoxville, such an order
would not only form a very auspi
cious crisis in its own history, as
well as make a most brilliant his-
ory for East Tennessee, Northeast
Georgia and Western North' Caro-
lina, but would give an immediate
md thorough connection between
the £&at aystema connecting the
commercial and social interests of
the North and South, and bind
hem with the same glorious desti-
vy as the East ana West. This
would fix the certainty of the early
completion of the R. G> S. L. R.

fact too well authenticated to ad

4V%s a- iiuM ...tn
discuss here—one, too, that
forms a very important desideratum
in favor of its adoption. Ipdeed Na
ture seems tol have had an eye on
the powerful advantages her chil
dren would derive from such a con
nection of interests, and she boa lin
gered in the formation of this section
tojn«ke,an easy ionatruction be
tween the two great sections. To
mix, mingle and connect the cap
ital, energy and enterprise of the
one, with the brain,' muscle and re
sources of the other, would bring
about the profoundest state df har
monious feeling between the two,
and the united effort over a line of
commercial and social intercourse
would polish this great interjacent
section, develop its inexaustible
and diversified resources, and make
it truly “blossom as the rose.”
In view of the foregoing conclu
sions, our surrounding circumstances
and the condition interests, it would
seem that there is only one course
left for our next Legislators —es
pecially those from Western North
Carolina to pursue—i. e., bend eve
ry energy in the direction of the
early completion 01 this great Ra
bun Gap Short Line, and remove
the appalling cloud thst overhangs
the vital interests of this portion of
the State, as well as important sec
tions of other States, in eparably
connected with our own. If noth
ing can be done, a division of the
convict labor of the State would
soon complete the line from the W.
N. -C. R. R. at Nantahala to the
Georgia line, at which point there is
every reason to suppose - we would
be met. For all time nntpast, now
is the time for immediate action and
well directed effort, which in our
railroad vernacular means victory.
Following the suggestion, we
chime in with the chorus, Let not
the opinions ofCoLWm. H.Thom
as, that wise railroad schemer and
sagacious servant of his country's
good, be longer trodden under foot.

Augusta, Ga., Sept. 4.—[Spe

Augufta are vast tent grounds. The
beautiful streets of these beautiful
towns.resemble the wards of long

army had fallen in bivouac before
an insatiate foe. These two
are the storm pivots of the earth

worst. You can have no idea of
the wild unrest of the people unless

The situation may be expressed'in
the word “disjointed,” All the

Man resembles his abandoned habi

his reason in too many instances
trembling in its place. Nothing like

All these things flitted acrutfj dis

Bnt the truth is that Charleston
has probably seen the worst and
suffered’ most. The oozing mud
and sand through cracked fissures
mean that the earth has been jam
med up and the underlying clay
lorcetDont. The ground especially
arounaaummerville, S. C., is un
certain. Railroad trucks crawl
along and little ponds belch up—
but nothing volcanic has come
to light. No signs of a tidal wave
curling like the crest ot a sea-ser
pent at Lisbon, to engulf the town.
No evidences of a land slide to slip
Carolina as it did the hills of Jer
sey, into the ocean. The sum of tiie
Charleston disaster is falling walls
and steeples, toppling chimneys,
cracking plastering, interrupted
business and a demoralized popu
lace. This is bad enough; but i
might be worse; the signs are that
it will hot be.
“Charleston is ruined;” so re
marked an Augusta man, Friday
night
“How so?” answered another.
“Why, commercially, of course.”
“I don’t believe it Only today I
received a telegiam saying that the
bank had resumed business. For
a monied consideration or a busi
ness opening I would move to
Charleston tomorrow.”
THE DAMAGE TO AUGUSTA.
The coloring must be subdued in
speaking of Augusta; but were it
not for'Charleston, Augusta would
be au object of absorbing interest
Next to -Charleston, Augusta has
suffered roost. One half of Augus
ta is.- sleeping ,out,of 'doon. The
other half aits uneasily .in the front
piazza and nods. The poople are
busy ic the day reading earthquake
reports and threading rumor*.
At night they are deciphering
tremors and making tent*.
Greene and Broad streets present
unusual scenes. Dry goods boxes
are wheeled to the middle ot the
broad streets, and invariably hold
some., sort of humanity. Delivery
carts, omnibuses, wagons and'ear-
riages line the avenues and whole
families are ensconsed out of the
way of falling chimneys, and
crumbling coping. In the lower
part of Broad and Green, little beds
dot the green with spreading tees-
ters and Bill flown nets, while the
bed room lamp and family Bible*
can be found near by upon the lit
tie stand. It is a curious but a sug
gestive sight. In some instances
groups of young men have char
tered box cars, which are drawn
out into some clear spot in the cot
ton yards, and made into bed rooms.
On the Sand Hills, the families
have camped upon the sloping
lawns since Tuesday. Snmmer-
ville shook from its sandy parapet*
and nodded to Augusta, while the
town heave in response. The
damage in Summerville, as with its
Carolina namesake, was greater in
proportion, than in Augusta. Be
sides the wrecking of
the officers’ headquarters at
the U. S. Arsenal, nearft
every private house lost its .chilnney
or parted its ceiling. Nearly every
front yard has its tent spread at
twilight, and your correspondent
has' not slept in a bed room since be
left Athens. The fear is from fall
ing ceiling and cr-icking chimneys,
and the people prefer to take the
chances in the open air. The well
known sociability of the Hill is
maintained. In one night thirty of
the neighbors joined one lamily and
camped about in tents and Ham
mocks. After a shock is telt par
ties go from house to house to offer
assistance.
FEVER TRAPS .
The tenting feature ia not one of
the most assuring of the quaking
season. The cool air of September
nights is not the beat for out door
sleeping, and * types oi malarial
fever are apt to follow this prac
tice. But people prefer to face
fever rather than encounter plaster
ing. Besides, an earth-shock is.mild
compared with a “houtequake.'
Friday night many parties sought
their rooms, but the feaior of ten-
thirty forced them to the starlight
again. Fortunately, the w.ather
has. been clear. An equinoctial
gale would force an unpleasant di
lemma in many minds, and I do
not doubt that some would atilt
brave the elements in the open air.
If Prof. McGhee’s theory be true,
Augusta and Columbia are both in
the tragmenta) or coastal plain,
which, in this movement, has shift-
ed seaward over the slide-rock.
Athena is in the granite region
or “Piedmont escarpment,” and
while we did not share in the sea
ward drift, frit the force of the dis
placement. We stili. have “reac
tionary tremors,' which are hard
enough as Northeast Georgia can
testify.

Chiropodists have of late years become
necessary to residents of cities. It it bnt
recently that the art has been taught in
the medical colleges. Unlike dentistry
the student is not obliged to pass an ex
amination in anatomy, bnt can simply
bring bis mind exclusively to bear on
learning how to treat and care for the
feet. Formerly Brooklynites were com
pelled to patronize New York chiropo
dists or else attend to their own p*dal ex
tremities. Within a few yean past, how
ever, a dozen or mere individuals who
make a specialty of wrestling with hard
shelled corns, or alleviating the sufferings
of those who have big or little bunions,
have signified their readiness to attend to
the feet of suffering residents. I called
recently at the office of a local chiropodist
and found him busily engaged in com
pounding a mixture, which he guarantees

CHIEF CAUSES OF CORNS.
“One of the chief causes of corns, bun
ions, etc., is tight shoes. The majority of
my customers are ladies. Corns come in
two varieties, sofa ead hard.. Tbs soft
corn is formed by the acid perspiration of
the feet and first appears in the shape ot a
white blister, whose edges easily peel off.
Ladies, who wear shoes targe enough for
them, seldom, if ever, suffer with corns.
Stumpy or short shoes cause corns to form
easily. Ihava frequently known cases
where a soft corn would affect the whole
foot and ankle. I have many patients
who have corns which have festered into
the bone. Bonions areottea mistaken for
bard corns. A bunion forms usually on
the side of the foot or between the toes. A
bunion is nothing more or less than a
•trained joint canted by a short or nar
row shoe. French heeled boot* and shoes
have been the cause of untold misery ts
ladle*. and 1 have noticed since Die com
mon tense shoe has become fashionable,
the wearers of them have had fewer cams.
Narrow dancing pumps are also Vf 77 Inju
rious to the feet Operations on- fibrous
and nerve corns are extremely difficult
“At what age does a corn begin to
growf” 1 •**' It .
“I have known children whose mothers
would Insist upon having them wear
tight shoes to have corns at the ago otS
years. Many children havo ingrowing
Balls and are suffering from coma”
^Talking about manicures my informant
“Manicure is a nsw innovation and
now practiced by all chiropodists. The
most expert manicures are young girls,
who have been thoroughly drilled In the
business. It Is now the custom to engage
young women to do this work, and the
paring and beautifying of nails Is usually
performed amid elegant surroundings. In
New York many fashionable young men
have their nails polished twice a week.”
EXFLAUHKO THE METHODS.
The doctor with whom I talked, ex
plained the methods nsedtn treating ban-
ions, which may be of service to all who
perform tbelr own ehlrqpothy. First, the
bunion is softened wltt> a camel’s hair
brush to destroy soreness, and then th*
hard callous Is removed by means of a
double edged knife. At this point in the
operation the fibers ot the bunion are
killed and a targe ring of lamb’s wool ap
plied. From appearances it would denote
that the covering of lamb’s wool wo old
make it impossible to get on th* shoe. The
latter, however, easily slips on and the
patient walk* with oomparittva freedom.
Double edged knives and scissors, targe
and email, are used by chiropodists in
their work.
*1 have extracted twenty-five corns
from both feet at on* lady,” continued
my informant. “Large shoes have the
■am* effect as email ones.- One to be per
fectly free from corns must wear a neat
fitting shoe which must be neither too
•mall nor too targe. Ingrowing nails are
difficult to treat, and are always accom
panied with fnngps growth or proud flesh.
Lwgaor big. toes often have Ingrowing
nails. Disease cfthaiwaatgdands or per
spiring feet, which emit an add «™«ii,
can be cured, bat the treatment most be
both internal and local. The disease of

Advantage of Color Blindness.
It might surprise you to know that oc
casionally total color blindness has proven
a decided advantage. All colors appear
ing to soch on one as shades of gray, or
black, or white. An engraver thus af
fected would possess a keener ability to
discern fine tinea A clerk in a mourning
goods department of a targe dry goods
store received extra compensation for hta
acute eye for shade*, when it was found to
depend on total color blindness. Such
cases are exceptional as can' be imagined
when railroad men are discharged for in
ability to distinguish a red from a green
lantern. Fostofflce clerks have run short
in their cash accounts through selling
stamps of the wrong denomination, the
differently colored sheets getting into
the wrong drawers.—Lithographer and

wondering what it was all day.”
We went up the magnificent marble
steps, between two mighty stone griffins
and to an oaken door broad enough for a
doable track railway. On it was a bit of
torn envelope fastened by a crooked
Pin. Roughly tracefi.across It In pencil
was this:
“I have gone to Europe.—W. K. Vander

late railroad king la the amusing member
ot the famUy. They are aU plain, matter-
of-fact and thy ot display but William K.
He went down to WaU street once and
thought he wonld speculate. A few
weeks later “the old man” went down
there, settled $7,000,000 worth of debts and
made a few general remarks that William
K. is not likely to forget. Then William
K. devoted his energies to wearing a
single glass and accumulating an English
accent which at present is positively the
most overwhelming, eerie and amazing
thing I ever heard. He has social aspira
tions, bnt he ia not successful despite his
great wealth. Not satisfied with the
“pilling” he received when be put his
name ap for membership in some of the
clubs here, he has tried to get into the
Jockey clnb in Paris. The cable says he
was blackballed with great alacrity and
heartiness.
There was, however, something ex

Chins No Place for Foreigner*.
There is oply one thing which should
ever make a man think ot going to China,
and that is some weU-paid certainty. You
might as weU go to sheol as go to China
sight-seeking. See what 100,000 Chinese
do in San Francisco and then reckon up
what chances an ordinary man has
against 400,000,000 ot them on their native
ground, where they can Uve comfortably
on ?3 a month. They can do everything
that a white man does and now that they
ore finishing with us as go-betweens, and
to take our ideas from us, they really
want us for nothing. A good many people
say “when the country is given up to the
railroads there will be great chances for
foreigners.”
But even supposing at first that the
Chinese kill a million or two in railway
accidents it will be reckoned as a much
more desirable experience than employing
the hated “foreign devil.” There are tele
graphs all through the country now, and
yet not a white man ts employed on them.
What white men are in the country now
simply exist as the pnppets of the Chineso
You may think perhaps that there are
great chances for American inventions and
machinery in the country, but a people
who takk to bed with them a flea trap,
and who have had a silk-weaving loom
running for the laat 2,000 years which no
modern machinery can compete with,
don’t want so very much from any one.
But to talk of going to China now is ridic
ulous, when the Chinese are slowly but
surely edging out the few foreigners that
are there.—Shanghai Cor. San Francisco
Chronicle.
* Views of the City.
A standard business in every targe city
now Is the sale of photographic albums of
the principal buildings, parks and public
resorts ot the city. For many years this
business was confined to European cities.
Gradually the album came in vogue in
New York, and Washington city; but now
the perfection-to which photo-lithographs
have been rqduced makes their publica
tion a matter of such slight cost, that
every city has its publications of views,
and few travelers pass through a city of
any note without possesing themselves of
one of these cheap and Interesting souv
enirs of the visit. Formerly each an al
bum of St. Louis views as now sells for
to cento wonld have been cheap at A—

Failure of th* Phonograph.
Phonograph* have never become more
than a toy, although great things were
predicted of tt Edison did nothing more
with it and turned his attention to the
more profitable work of perfecting the
system of incandescent’lighting that has
sines been each a success. - The trouble
with the phonograph was that the tin
foil was not soft enough to take the im
pression of the sound-waves deep enough
to make the machinery talk loudly- when
Its time cam* to talk. In fact the phono
graph was a very good listener, bnt a poor
repeater ot conversations. Whet a pity
it ia that humanity Is not bnilt more on
the basis of the phonograph.—Detroit Free

Wages of an Organist.
-The Boston Post says that a salary of
1350 a year la deemed an ample return in
one of the richest churches In Boston for
the services of an organist of the very
■first grade. It also says that recently one
of the foremost organists In America was
offered *000 a year to play the organ tn

that, white he could earn as much as that

William Waldorf Astor and Wife.
Mr. William Waldorf Astor is, in ap-
pearance, the ideal of a prosperous young
business man—stocky, wide-awake, and
commonplace looking, with nothing to
Indicate that he knows anything outside
of real estate matters. He is the only
Astor who has ventured into any other
field than,business. As a politician, young
Mr. Astor was disastrously defeated at the
polls; as minister to Italy he was buried,
und as an author he is far from being
successful. Now he is at work on a play.
It is not generally believed that he will
be the long-looked-for American dramat
ist He is the sole male representative of
the family, and it is no secret that the
elders view his excursions into art, litera
ture, politics, and the drama with scant
favor. They argue that with $200,000,000
and 37,000 houses to look after he has all
that he needs to occupy his mind; but
young William Waldorf goes on with his
artistic efforts just the same. He has a
charmingly unaffected and direct manner,
and a beautiful wife, whom he loved and
married in Philadelphia.—New York Cor

Tricks of the Chinese Thief.
It is sold that of late bed clothing has
been taken to Chinatown in targe quanti
ties. Armed with a bamboo stick about
four feet long, which may be readily
lengthened to fifteen or twenty feet by a
telescopic slide, the Mongolian hoodlum
makes his way about dusk to a back or
side window, which has been left open at
the top for ventilation. The pole is stuck
through the window, being stretched out
as it is Inserted, and by means of a small
hook at the end bedspreads, blankets,
sheets, and pillows are pulled through
the opening It bis sometimes occurred
that bed clothing has thus been removed
while the bed contained an occupant, who
was sleeping soundly. In the case of an
alarm the pole is dropped, and, being on
the outside of the building, the hoodlum
easily makes his escape.—Gan Francisco-
Chronicle.
Superstition of Gen. 8kobeIe(L
Vassill Vereschagin, the celebrated
Russian painter, contributes an article ot
personal recollections of the late Gen.
Skobeleff to the current number of Mme.
Adam’s Nouvelle Revue. Vereschagin
accompanied Skobeleff during tbe latter’s
early life in Turkestan. The anecdotes
and exploits of the daring general, as
related by Vereschagin, would be deemed
inventions were they not contemporary
tacts and well authenticated. Skobelell’s
courage was surpassed by only one thiug,
says Vereschagin—his superstition. He
would charge <ffi a whole horde of Tur
comans single-handed for the fan ot the
thing or as an example to his soldiers, bnt
he wonld leap np from the table pale
with fear if the salt stand happened to be
upset, and he would swim his horse across
the Danube to show that it could be done,
but he would not dare enter a room where
three candles were lighted at the same
time.—Chicago Tribune.
