Uirellfat Interest was aroused and the
people of Northosat Georgia and West
ern North Carolina are alive to their
best chance of securing railroad connec
tion with Athens arid retching tho finest
interior market of Georgia.
We gather the following interesting
facts relative to the visit of Hon. U. H.
CailfonT from, Hr. Jl. Christy, who
accompanied tho DoctorjDn his trip:
tiib'tbip. "
Franklin was reached on Monday.eve-
ning last, Tho next day at noon a large
number of the representative citizens of
tho county and town had collected at tho
court ban je. Dr. Carlton waa introduc-
audience by
, handsome
hour or more. His speech was interest
ing and eloaucnt, and was highly ap
plauded by nts bearers* He spoke of
tbe kimllv relations and of the trade be
tween Athens and the mountain section
in the past, and of the aipiilarity be
tween Northeast Georgia and Western
North Carotins, and thought that Macon
county ought to have been attached os a
part of the S? late of Georgia. He spoke
of the valuoulo and abundant minerals
and timbers of Western North Carolina,
tho rich agricultural lands, orchards, Ac.,
and showed the great advantage such a
country would receive from a through
line of railroad. He made some very in*
turesting statements about tbe line from
Athens to Knoxville, and abowed that U
waa the easiest and cheapest route from
the granaries of tba great West to the
cotton and rice field? ot tho South At
lantic and tho Gulf of Mexico. Tho base
of the eoart houee in FraakUa ia only 27
h although the
the gap lo 19
older roads, of the State the grade is from
90 to 90 feet per mile. The distance be
tween Knoxville and the coast is made
122 milos shorter by this route than by
Atlanta, and 150 or ICO miles nearer than
by Asheville. The speaker said that
when this road was finished its busi
ness in coal freights alone would make
it a profitable line, while the minerals,
timbers, stock, etc*, in addition to its
passengers, would give it greater reve
nues than any road in the Bouth.
Dr. Carlton gave a full explanation of
the contracts between Athens and the
Richmond A Danville It. It. Co., and of
the present legal status ef the Xotheas-
tern railroad. He showed that there was
little doubt of the building of the road,
and that at a not very distant day, and
urged the people to do their part in this
£reat work. The audience was highly
interested in the speech throughout, ana
gave it hearty applause. Some of the
most prominent citizens of Macon couaty
express the opinion that the ceunty
will subscribe fifty thousand dollars and
even more,*if. necessary. Five directors
were appointed in Franklin, and
the greatest Interest was mani
fested ^by all. The people are fnllv
aroused and it is safe to say they will
do all in their power to secure the build
ing of the road.
We left Franklin, Wednesday morning,
and passed up the rich and beautiful'
▼ally of the Tennessee river to llabun
Gap and Clayton. Oar route was fer
some distance along tbe long the line of
of the old Blue Ridge road, (now a part
of this line) a portion of which is already
graded supplied with excellent stone
culverts.
At Clayton a crowd had collected, and
were addressed by Dr, Carlton, who again
dellvared & strong speech in favor
of the railroad. Tbe people of Rabun
■hewed great interest in the road and
will no doubt contribute liberally in the
work of building it.
Hon. H, W. Cannon, an old and hon
orable citizen of the county, made a
brief speech in which he said that the
people were more deeply interested in
this road than any other projected line,
and that although they have been look
ing for it far man v years, that he had
great hopes that the work would now be
accomplished.
The visit of Dr. Carlton baa arousad
the people all along tbe line and revived
their hopes, and tha prospect for the
completion of this great line of railroad
is brighter now than atony time in the
post.

A FIGHTING CONDUCTOR-
Putting Down an Unruly Party of Neyv««*
la tha Car.
Conductor Jeff McCleskey is not only
tho best and handsomest conductor on
the road, but he has things done his way
on the train. A few days ago there were
four drunken negroes on the ear, and
they were very boisterous—so much so
that the ladies on the train beoamn. jg
frightened. Conductor McCleskey, m "
soon as possible, went into the car m4
gave them orders to keep auiet or he
would put them off. One of the negroes
pulled a razor from his pocket ana in
formed the conductor that he would carve
him up in the latest style. Conductor
McCleskey went for the axe, which is
kept in each car, and by one well diroet-
ed blow quieted the negro with the
razor, and soon had the outers controll
ed so that they were very willing to call
a truce and behave themseiveothe bal
ance of the trip. Jeff ie very popular
and has a Urge number of friends with
the travelling public.
