Rather Than Go toWork-Encourasedb; Recent K. of L. Remittances—A Whole Factor; Floor in Operation-Moonshiner* Jailed. Augusta, Sept. 17.—[Special.] This was the day for vacating the house* owned by the Augusta Fac tory and tenanted free of rent by the idle hands since the beginning of the strike. It was believed that the order issued a few days ago by Superintendent Crombe and au thorized by President Phinizy would have the effect of driving many of the operatives to work. The'Knights of Labor, however, have received a lift this week in the shape of remittances from the general Order, which although not adequate for their needs, was yet a sign of encouragement. Leading members of the order were cncourged by this practical sign of recognition and today are moving the operatives from the Factory houses. Other residents of houses which are des ignated as wanted, are moving into dwellings not jet called for, end which are already occupied by idle operatives. A WIIOLR FLOOR WORKING. The entire second floor of the Augusta Factory is working to-day. JAILED FOR DISTILLERY. Charles Dewt’erry and Robt. Elliott, moonshiners caught at Bath, were jailed to-day in default of bond. They will be tried in Sa vannah. .% Kurrmful Itriicfit.

A 1 lana, Sept. 16.— JSoecial. ] The Executive depaitment furnish es the sensation today. Several weeks ago, i: will he remembered, a petition ior iht paidon of Maj. Geo. r. Jackson, ol Augusta, was presented to the Governor for his consideration. That petition was numerous ly stgr.ed. It bore upon it prominent names from all sections of the Stale. It was not an indis- ciiinin >te airay of signatures: there ue e tei.resentatives of the cotton business who filled up one page; theie weie number of the bar who tilled up another column; there was the request of the jury which con- \ieteel him; of tire Judge, Solici- t n Ge m a', and officers of the Court who participated in, or were j,.e-M nt at the trial. There wa*a pet tion from Ath ens and one irom Savannah, and a general appeal which went up s yiied by hnndicds of citizens, Tile. PETITION. Tne petition reciied that the de Iri.i’ant, Maj. Geo. T. Jackson, had had been convicted of the crime of embezzlement; that he had been sentenced to the penitentiary, and was now serving out his term; that his health was so precarious as to make confinement or hard labor im possible. The petition called on 1 he Governor, for an exercise of clemency, and tor a release of the defendant from all the pains, and penalties of his situation. Maj.Jackson’s friends claimed that fm a man of his nature and asso ciation*! the sentence had already been sufficiently severe. He had bee. tried, sentenced and impris oned; he had worn the stripes of the convict camp, and had submit ted himself to all the forms cf law. A prolonged sentence could not add to his mortificaliou; itcould only in crease his physical sufferings. This petition wa s placed in the h inds of the Governor early in 1 nlv. llis action has been looked for week by week, but no intima tion has been given out from the executive office as to what would be done. Today I am re liably informed tl at this petition has been withdrawn from Governor McDaniel by the family and friends of Maj. Jackson, because they were convinced by tlie long delay that Governor Mc Daniel did not" regard the matter favorably. Rather than have the •case prejudiced by adverse action, the petition was withdrawn, prob ably to be re-submitted before Gen eral Gordon. Maj. Jackson is now at Old Town convict camp, and is only sustained by hope of pardon. PERSONAL AND MINOR ITEMS. Farmers in this section nrc now busy- picking cotton. General II. R. Jackson is expected in Savannah on the first of November. A negro was sentenced to three years' imprisonment at Elbert county for rape. I11 a few weeks cotton will be so thick on the streets that we won’t he able to walk. A Savannah man who attempted to at 300 rice birds, gave it up when he had finished six. THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

ED SKNATOn. AfiTA, THE C_ G. & A. R. R. What the Athens Delegation Saw and Did tn Elberton--A Fine Chance for the City of Athens. The Athens delegation returned from Elberton yesterday and scattered to thsir homes and places of business so quickly that it was bard to get at them. Mr. E. R. Hodgson was made chairman of the Athens committee, and the meet ing of delegates in Elberton was secret. There are some things in connection with the enterprise which cannot qpw be divulged. The delegation, however, were in the best of spirits, and declar ed that the railroad authorities had ‘ made Athena n better offer for thin hne than they had made any other city in the State, -and and that it was probable that Athens could dic tate Shis line beyond here. It is said that a Pennsylvania syndi cate is working the line and will cer tainly build it. The Athens delegates were pretty well assured of the fair prospects of the road and beYievcd it would be built to this city. Gen. Hoke came through yester day and went to Atlanta. He is interested in the road and is anxious to enlist the interest of the city of Athens. ThO proposed line will be 266 miles long. !’ J- No or on the 1 ONLY THREE CONVICTS, w There arc only three convicts now on the pauper farm in Clarke county, and »/; r Q,™:«ai "i the terms of these "will have expired be- pi. id. jopeem. j f ore the courts meet again. Such a thing ;t was nominated has not been known before for many a ** year.* st ballott* Athens sends mo**e merchants to New York in proportion to its size than any city in the State. They go by the doz ens early every Spring and Fal^and buy only at first 'hands. They buy judi ciously, and they buy heavily. Their stores are as handsome as any in Geor gia. We can pick out a dozen stores in Athens which cannot be surpassed in size ar d stock anywhere in the Souih. It is a constant source of surprise to par ties coming here to note what fine stands our dry ;oo<ls and general mer chandise dealers have, and what a vol ume of bu Hess our grocery and produce men carry on. Yesterday the Banker-Watchman dispatc »ed a reporter to make & round among the merchants who have just re turned from Xe 7 York. MR. M. MYERS. Mr. M. Myers, a large and successful dry goods and shoe dealer, was seen at his elegant store on College Avenue. He sa7s: “1 g-»t back from New York, Septem ber 3.*’ “What is the outlook?” “The outlook, 1 think, is extremely fine. It is always so good in New ork that it is hard to tell whether it was bet ter than last year. 1 think, however, the people were buying goods more than 'ist Fall. Everywhere is crowed with So lthci.i me chants. “Our merchants are buying well?” “Yes. The Athens merchants, in pro portion to their number,V ve more credit than the merchants of any other citj'.” “How will business l»o this year?” “Business in Athens will be all bright this ye .r. 1 think business will be mo e lively than last year. Wc have already had more jobbing than we have ever had. Signs p-c that, people will nuy more because the cotton crop will be so much better.” MR. CIIAS. STERN. The Banner man next saw Mr. Charles Stern, our largo clothing merchant, who was refitting his handsome apartments with new goods. “When did you return, Mr. Stern?” “I got back last Monday*” “How is business in New York?” “Business in New York is brisker than 1 have ever see.i it.” “Aie Southern merchants buying well?” “Southern merchants are buying like they never did before. To see the crowds of people buying you would never think that there was anything like hard times in New York.” “How is money?” “The money market is tight, in fact tighter than I have seen it for years.” “Wliat is the outlook?” “The outlook for iny business is fair. If the people can get any thing like a fair price for their cotton 1 have no ap prehension for the next season. A good sign for business is that the banks have not loaned out half the inonev to the pesple that they did last year. This shows that the people are better off.” MR. .J. M. OKU. Mr. J. M. Orr, nfOrr«fc Hunter, who carry on a large cotton and fertilizer business, was next seen by our repo *ter. lie said that the business outlook this season all over the country, as evidenced by the situation in New York, was very good. It was estimated by Northern experts that the crop would he about the same as last year. So far as the coLton business in Ath ens w.is co icerned, he would say that Eastern correspondents were giving Athens full orders this year and there woul 1 lie prime demand here for cotton. He did not see why prices should rot be equal to last year or even higher. Our money facilities would be ample for heavy ' business in Athens—even better than last year. Mr. Orr stated that the shipping fa cilities of Athens were now equal to At lanta’s, fully. MR. .1. II. RUCKER. Mr. Rucker was in the midst of gen eral r»*>airs on his offices, which will he among the handsomest and most con venient in the state. Mr. Bucker regarded to outlook as very good—both North and South. General estimates, he said, concurred in putting the crop about to where it was last year. He believed that Athens had better facilities for business this season than ever before. He did not look for material change in prices this year, and saw no reason for expecting higher figures. Farmers would find it to* their interest to bring cotton in promptly and r ceive full mar ket figures. Bast experience had shown that this was better policy. In response to otheT questions Mr. Bucker said that receipts here showed that Athers was growing as a cotton market. It was one of the highest mar kets in the State. Cotton men here work on small margins. The outlook for Southern cotton mills seemed better than lor any season in five years. Money facilities were the better; banks here and in the North are better off. “An attempt was made by specula tors in New York to produce a scarcity of money. But this fell through, and money is plentiful.” mr. s. c. nonits. The Banner met Mr. S. C. Dobbs in the midst of new goods and a driving business. He said: “Everything is more lively in N. Y. than ever. More Southern merchants are in .New York than usual, most of whom were buying largely. The prosperity is healthier than ever. “I have never seen New York in a more prosperous plight. There s?ems to he an upward price in nearly everything indicating a boom.” ' As a class, the Southern merchants are preferred to all others, several houses telling me that they prelerred to deal with Southern merchants and especially Georgia merchants. “I find that we can buy cotton checks, stripes and brown cotton goods, cheaper in ti»e South than in New York. Money is loaned on call from 1 to 4 per cent commeicial paper at 5 and fi per cent. Money se<*ms plentiful. “My pros pects” said Col. Dobbs, “are much better than last year on account of taking in more territory, and a larger jobbing trade. I look for a better trade in Ath ens, because the people are not so much in debt as last year. This is shown by the fact that the banks have not loaned as much money to them os they did last year. If frost is late, we will have much cotton which will bring remunera tive prices.” J. a. mull axe. Mr. M ullane, one of the largest and most successful dry goods merchants of our city, thinks the general outlook ex ceedingly flattering. The cotton is made and bound to come. The months of Oc tober, November and December will counterbalance the tardiness of September, as regards trade. He says goods are lower this season than last Mr. Mullane has" bought a large and well assorted stock. MR. JBI.llTS COHEN. This well known and popular mer chant has just returned from New York, and was directing the opening *of his large stock of goods in his handsome Broad street «torc. This, by the way, is one of the handsomest and most com plete dry goods departments in Georgia. Mr. Colien had found the business outlook veiy favorable in New York. Money was plentiful and buyers from the South were purchasing heavily. Heavy woolen goods and a few domestics had advanced in price. There was one thing in the line of his business which he noticed in New York, and that was the tapestry body Brussells carpet, or immitation of real body Brussells. It was liable to fool one unless closely examiifed. There were many of them on the market. Mr. Cohen stated that his own stock was heavier, better assorted and more varied than ever. His merchant tailor’s department was very full with English, French and German snitinga of the best quality. In fact, his gents’ department would be well stocked this season. Mr. Cohen is also much interested in building the new line to Elberton. He believed it wonld help Athens by re claiming much business lost to the El berton Air-Line. It would pay better than either railroad wc now have in Athens, TBK TEN CENTS STOKE. Our friend Coleman, who has jnst re turned from New York, brought back a large stock of goods, among which are his excellent lines of table cloths, china and glassware and a hundred things in the line of fancy and useful goods. Mr. Colem.ii is one of the most pop * ? ar a d su .-ce? *fui young merchants in the city, and his store is a favorite haunt for housekeepers and shoppers from the city and country. See his locals this morn ing and be convinced that he is a live man and conducting a live bus : ness in a live way. Give Coleiuan a call at the Ten Cents Store, which holds every thing. RAILROAD NOTES. Engineer McSail of Columbus has gone to Augusta, where he goes for the purpose ofnegotiating for an engine for the Georgia Midland Construction com pany. ’Track laying has progressed about four miles and another engine is needed to make mo*e rapid progress in the work. The first shipment of merchandise on the Geo-gia Midland will he made by Mr. \V. J. Watt, of Columbus, who will send-out a lot of supplies to the contrac tors. ^The South Florida railroad company have the outside spikes all driven ready to spre .d the rails out to the standaril K» u se- j The Macon and Covington Railroad »: running right along. The Central offices have been fixed in Macon under Gen. Manager B. W. Frobel, ana the force both beyond and this side of Madison is working very effectively. Excursions to Maco i about the first of the year will he in older. The Georgia Midland seems to be flourishing. The Chester, Greenwood and Abbe- ille extension through Athens and El be; ion will be the biggest kind of a lift for this city and section. No official announcement has yet beqn made of the appointment of a successor to Mr. James 1*. Taylor as General Freight ri d Passenger Agent of the Sa vannah, Florida & Y.’estern railway. It was expected that Mr. Taylor would as sume his rc-.v office as General Passen ger Agent of the Kichmo id and Danville road Sept. 10, but it is liKely that he will remain there a few days longer. Mr. C. W. Chears, who has been filling the position, will continue to be the Assis tant General Passenger Agent df the system. Athens is the centre towards which the new railroads tend. The freight and passenger business of the Western railroads now shows a very large increase over the same period last year. The Baltimore and Ohio has been al lowed to establish its agents at Castle Garden to compete for immigrants with the other trunk lines which have a joint agency there. The Midland road, the Macon road and the Elberton extension are what Athens is playing for now. ATHENS’ BEAL ESTATE. A TALK WITH A LIVE AGENT ON THE SUBJECT. View, at an Author!*; *» the Clt;— lllr.

Tlie Hook, Printing and Xluvical Combination in Athens. '• Mr. Ed. W. Burke has an attractive display of his goods in today’s pa per, and we may say that the people of this section are appreciating the efforts that are being made at his book store aid at his musie house to give them a first-class establishment. Prof. Taylor was a valuable introduction into this business, He is having all he can do in tuning, repairing and selling, and is actively engaged on the fine pianos of the Lucy Cobb Institute and Horae School, besides musical instruments in private pallors. Our people realize that there is no necessity for paying travel ling tuners extravagant prices when this work can be done for less money by home people, who will make good all guarantees. Besides Mr. Burke’s large book and stationery business, his job printing rooms are receiving flattering patronage. This department is turning out first- class work at lowest possible pi ices. Mr. Burke is an enterprising as well as an accomplished man, and his large combination establishment is now as complete as any in the State. We cannot recall one more worthy of confi dence or public patronage. OUR SOLDIER BOYS. Organization of tbc Atben* Light Infantr; on Frida, Night. On Friday night a meeting was held in Dr. Benedict's office, for the purpose of effecting the organization of a military company. The meeting was largely at tended, and those present entered into tho scheme with spirit Mr. Jno. Boncdict was called to the chair and Mr. C. E. Morris was made temporary secretary. Tlie following gentlemen were pres ent and were enrolled: C 0 Adams, Dr Benedict, J A Bene dict, Bri’jjs, T A Burke, .las. Bloomfield, Cobb, R A Crawfo J, H Crawford, U Charbonnier. W Davis, E H Dorsey, W Garebold, H Garebold, Hamilton, Kim brough, C E Morris, E D Sledge, L Sledge, Sullivan, S Thomas, H R \V illcox. Messrs J. Q. Rucker, H. H. Linton and E. H. Dorsey were elected Captain, First Lieutenant and Second Lieutenant, respectively, by acclamation. A committee was appointed to get the names of gentlemen who wished to join the company. The company was named the Athens Light Infantry. A committee was appointed to find a suitable hall. A committee of six, consisting of the commissioned officers, Messrs. R. B. Russell, J no. Benedict and Dr. Benedict was appointed to draw up suitable papers to present to the Governor. Mr. Leon Sledge was elected Score- tary and Mr. Briggs Treasurer. The company then adjourned until next Friday night. Yesterday morning the Banneb- Watchmav met Mr. W. D. Griffeth, our well-known real estate man, and one of the me r enterprising young men in Athens. He has, since the first of Feb- ruary last, worked his own business up to a high and profitable plan-, and has done a great deal of good for property holders in Athens. Jn response to a question from the Bashxb-Wa: chman, Mr. Griffeth said that the e was good demand just now for houses for rent. Many people had moved into the city to give their children the advantage of the schools This had created new demuid. A number of houses formerly unoccupied are: now fill ing up at good rental. “There are a number of mechanics coming to Athens, going to work with the contractracto , etc. These ra'se a demand for small, cheap houses which has been impossible in every case to fill.” “By the way, dj you know there is|ex- cellent margin in this sort of property ? They pay well and are easily rented.” “Is tncre an advance in city property?” “Considerable. I commenced this business last February, and I find that city property, including both business houses and residences, has ad vanced from twenty to fifty percent., and in some places one hundred per cenL “Are there many stores for rent?” “No. In the city entire, I do not think there are but six stores to let. I believe I have all these on my list.” “Has tb's number of unrented stores increased since prohibition went into operation'?” “No. It is about the same. Prohibi tion has not hurt business here.” “There is one thing wc need here, and it occurs to me often in the renting bus iness. Broad street should be num bered from the river up. It would be a great cod zenience.” , “Has there been much new building in the past year?” <“A great dc 1. There have been many fine residen is erected which are orna ments to the town." “Which away is building extending?” “That wo aid be hard to say. Fine residences arc going up in Cobbham and in the upper part of the city. But look at East Athens—or the lower part of the town. Few people here know what a big town we have, growing up on the other side of the river. Tire hills are covered with cottages. Streets are laid off and Council has jnst ordered fifty street lamps to be erected in that sec tion. Houses there are easv*to rent and renters pay promptly. 1 do some very satisfactory business in East Athens. Some of this property pays owners thir ty per cent 1 have charge of hou ses in this neighborhoods, belonging to parties in Atlanta, which is very profit able.” “Whatrs the city tax?” •‘It is 1.10—low when compared with some other G-o 'gia cities.” “Will the new railroads add to our population?” “Yes, 1 believe if we get the routes we are now figuring on, we shall have 5,000 more people in a year.” “The Banner-Watchman touched the right spot the other day when, in con nection with the Basket Factory, it ad vocated small industries of all kinds. That is the making of a city. What we want is broom factories and bucket fac tories and bo : makers. Then people m Athens must be taught to support them. The trouble here often is that people prefer to send off for things which can be made, and are made, right here. Small factories and home enterprise are our needs. These things build up a town faster than all the railroads which can concentrate here. We have now a fine trade and an e: cellent merchant class. We want to build up a mechanics ele ments, which mt' e up a valuable middle class in any community.” v “Streets are valuable factors in real estate values. IIo a- arc we off in that re spect?” “Athens has greatly improved in that regard. The street commissioner and his force are bringing out the town splendidly. I think, however, tlie streets could stand some general, super ficial working before the rains set in. Let a little work be put on them as they are in the country in the fall—without waiting to bring each square up to per fection. This is especially the need in East Athens.” “Can money be easily raised on real estate in Athens?” Yes; of course the banks are prohib ited by charters from placing loans on land, which, after all, is the basis of wealth. I have been able to place money at eight per cent on gilt-edged loans for local capitalists. 1 could now place $5,- 000 or $10,000 on real estate at fifty per cent, of its value. This, indeed, is the best sort of security. 1 am getting up a catalogue and advertising farms for sale in Clarke, Oconee, Jackson, Madison and Oglethorpe, and parties having farms to rent are rapidly communicating with me.” ‘I have also personal cards in Texas and Arkansas papers, calling on Geor gians now camping out in those states to come back to the red old hills, and all will be forgiven. Their attention is in this way called to farms for sale.” “Then the outlook for real estate is”—? ‘‘Good. As fair as any other interest in Athens.” FOR THE LEGISLATURE.

The political situation 'has been com plicated considerably within the past week. There are now three candidates in the race. Mr. Richard B. Russell has represent ed Clarke county in the legislature for two terms. He is a candidate for re- election. It is fur to pres.-me that with the prestige of four years in the lower house, he would be a formidable com petitor for any man. He has made a use ful and influential member. He has worked hard for the college and for ^very interest of the community. He passed the prohibition and free school bills and other measures of importarce, and had much influence on the floor. Mr. Russell, it is understood, is mak ing a quiet ard effective canv.ss, and says that if his friends appreciate his services he will represent them again. If they IRVING ARTILLERY. Reunion ofa Gallant Company In Waalilng* ton, Oa. Washington, Ga., Sept. 15. [Special to the Augusta Chroni cle.]—The Irvin Artillery held its second annual re-union here ysster- day, and the occa*ioo was rendered all the more pleasant and enjoyable by reason of a splendid barbecue given by the company at tke beau tiful grove one mile from the square.

Murrell is a well known farmer, living th-ee miles below Athens, on the Georgia railro-d. He has s strong following in the country, it is under stood, and a good backing in the town. He is running as the farmers’ candidate, as tgainstth el awyers’ influence, and has been pressed by h : a friends in former contests to make the race. Mr. Murrell is in the race to stay, his friends say, and will not retire, as he came down once before rather than complicate political matters. He and Mr. Ru '«cll have met three times - be fore tlie people in this canvass, the last debate having been Wedresday night at Mr. Morton’s place below the city. Questions of lawyers vs. farmers, fence, prohibition and free schools were were freely discussed. The third candidate is Dr. G. W. Lowry, who has just decided to run. He was nominated by the Knights nf Labor in tlieir meeting Tnesday night, and is is squarely in the race. Dr. Lowry has been a tesident of Clarke county about 15 months and has a large medical prac- fession about the factory settlement and in the lower part cf the city. The Knigh's control between 700 and 800 votes and it is fair to suppose the Doc tor starts with a good suppo -t. He has not been long enough in the field to show much strengtli outside. The colored vote is the uncertain and determining factor. The exact result cannot now be predicted. The Banner- Watchman sent out its scouts yesterday to feel the public pulse upon the subject of a primary election for members of the legislature. There are now .tree candidates in the field, and the position had become so complicated tbatit looked as if the pres tige of democracy should be invoked to secure good representation, and to pre vent an unseemly and a costly scramble. So far as wc could find, there is no interest taken in the primary. The feel ing is that the time is too short to organ ize the party so os to bring out a full vote or secure an impartial expression. That a small vote would weaken the candidate and the nominee and might bring in another independent candidate. Two or three party' leaders were con sulted, and all were agreed that the time is too short to bring to bear the machinery of the democratic party. A few nights ago, in the northern portion of the county, four negro children were burned to death. Their parents locked them in their cabin ana went off to church, and returned to find the house aud chil dren burned up. One of the chil dren was large enough to have saved the others, but the house be ing locked none could escape. The Knights of Labor Seem to be Dicta ting the Candidates. Savannah, Ga., September 16 — The Democratic executive commit tee oi Chatham county is called to meet to-morrow evening, when it wilt provide for the nomination of candidates for Representatives. Much dissatisfaction is expressed at the delay of the committee in pro viding for a nomination, the elec tion being only a little more than two weeks off - , /he Knights of Labor are the principal complain ants, but some of their leading members say that they will be at the nomination in force, wherever it is held, and that they will be rep resented in the Legislature. It is said that many of the more con servative Knights favor the renom- ination ot Captain Gordon and Mr. Hartridge, and the nomination of a representative workingman. So far not a single candidate ha* been announced in the county. This tact is attributed to the uncertainty of the action of tlie Knights of La bor. SWALLOWING GLASS. Timmons, the Forger, Believed to^av Made an Attempt on Hit Life. OLD MAN BENSON- Wednesday morning Sheriff Overby, in Watkinsville, heard loud cries pro ceeding from the cell of Timmons, our friend the forger. He rushed in to find out what was the matter, and saw his prisoner stretched at full length on the floor. “What is the matter?” “I'm going to die.” “How do you know?” “I’ve swallowed glass and feel it work ing in my bowels'” Timmons explained in the midst of his contortions that he had pounded up the bottle in which his coffee had been given him and had swallowed the powder. He knew he would die. Sheriff uverby, as was his duty, pro cured a physician who found that Tim mons was really ill, but could notcertify that it was from swallowing glass or not. There was no way to tell whether Tim mons had told the truth, but to wait Mr. Overby says that Timmons was probably frightened into making an at tempt on his life by the fear that he would be carried back to Greene county and indicted. THE M. & C. R. R. CHATHAM’S DEMOCRACY.! XVhat the Elberton Meeting Devel. oped—The Cheater, Abbeville and Greenwood Extension—-Athene the Favored Pelnt—A Chance for Our People to Show Themxelven. The new railroad extension through Elberton and Athens is the talk of the city and section. Few roads have found such favor in so short a time. It is a logical extension of an important line and has enlisted interest irom all the people. The city of Athens was swift to ap point a committee to meet the other Georgia counties in conference, and to confer with the combined representa tives of the railroad. It was a signifi cant meeting and a qpccessful one. We are not in possession of all that was said or done; but enough has transpired to convince us that there is nlenty of S im in the enterprise; that the Chester, reenwood & Abbeville extension means Elberton A Athens, especially Athens; and that it is a line which is very apt to be built and which will be invaluable to Athens. Northeast Georgia, or this part of it, is considerable stirred up. We believe there is as good an outlook for for Athens in thisenterprise in as any of the new roads no.w projected this way. What the road most 4eo5s is that the people along the l’"e grant the right of way The Messrs. Hodgson, Mr. Jnlius Co hen and Mr. C. W. Baldwin give glowing accounts of the meeting.

Charleston, Sept. 16.—There was an earthquake shock yesterday morning about 4 o’clock, unac companied by any great rumbling or detonation, and was only notic ed by a few persons. Possibly a light shock occurred last night, but this is uncertain, as any vibra tion caused by passing vehicles, or the pulling down of walls isapt to be regarded as caused by an earth quake. There has not been a shock in some days worth reporting. The relief committee has issued over one thousand forms of application for assistance fn rebulding or re pairing houses. Attention has re cently been directed to the charac ter of mortar used, consisting large ly of yellow sand, and the ci»y council will probably take action to prevent any Buddensiectt disaster in the hurry of rebuilding. committee from from Carolina, in El be -ton, on Thursday evening, September 16th, in the interest of a projected line, which is to run through Chester and Ab beville, S. C., Elberton and Athens, Ga. It is proposed to enlist the sympathy anda id of Northern capitalists. The line projected passes through a large stretch of valuable country which does not now enjoy the benefits and conve- n’erces of ratlro As, and its people are men * thereiore, mors apt to exert themselves and to aid in the building of the road. It is believed by the com mittee of ge tlemen who went from Athens that if the proper in terestis shown by the deople along the line in the enterprise, and if they are willing to subscribe in a reasonable, lib eral manner, that it is but a questien of a very short time before a ' corps of engineers will be placed in the field to select the route and secure the right of way. There are a number of pro jected roads in the South that are now seeking to engage tho attention of North ern capitalists. When they come to look over the ground, it behooves the people -ong the line to take held with a spirit of liberality and enthusiasm that will encor aie those who possess the means to build roads and develop our re sources. A willingness on our part to ii est oar own money in whatever wc seek to have others invest in, is the Undue Advantage.—A gentleman in Athens has received a letter from Char leston asking him to send down brick layers, plasterers and carpenters, and that good wages will j>e insured them for some time.

Meeting Mr. W. B.

In fact the construction force is so nearly up with the engineer corps that they do not wish to increase the number of workers until the line is located further ahead.” •‘What of tho news that work had been stopped on the grade near Shady Dale?” “That was owing to the private troub le of the contractor who had probably gotton behind.

About half of the grading has been finished, and it is a pity that work should be stopped at this time. The line runs through a rich county and taps a fine and growing town.
