At each of these places he made an address to the people on the anbject of tho proposed railroad saUSMeS ftonr Tallulah Falls, connecting Athens and Knoxville finally In a grand trunk lino from the coal ’ and grunflelffa^ftho West to the Gulf and Atlantic seaboard. livery whore the 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.
