Mr. Editor:—The Gainesville and
Jefferson railroad is a fixed fact. It
will l'C completed to Jefferson and
Jug Tavern this fall or winter. Xotv
tho question is, what are the people
of Athens going to do ? If they do
nothing, the trade of Jackson county
is gone. In fact down as far as
Clarkesboro is liable to go over the
Gainesville and Jefferson road. Can
we afford to lose that trade ? I think
not! The gap from Athens to Jeffer
son is only eighteen miles by the
wagon road, and less by the railroad.
It is one of the best and cheapest
roads in the stale to build. The
trouble with onr people now is, that
they have been sold out, or ratber
“given out” of the Northeastern raiK
road, by our Mayor and Council and
left with a heavy tax to^pay, to meet
the interest on the bonds.
That has so disgusted our people
that they have.no present relish for
railroads. I can’t blame them. But
there is no use of onr ]>eoplo coiling
down like a whipped puppy and giv
ing up all enterprise.
One of the difficulties. J find in the
way is, that some of our people want
to run the road to Jug Tavern, ins
stead of to Jefferson. That will nev
er do, for the following reasons, to—
wit:
1st—Because it is twenty-four miles
to Jug Tavern, while it is only about
seventeen to Jefferson, a difference of
seven miles in distance.
lid—Because, a railroad bridge will
have to be built across the middle
Oconee river, which will cost nearly
as much as it will take to grade the
road to Jefferson.
od—When the road reaches the
Jug Tavern road, it will strike it at
right angles, and any one who knows
any thing about trade, knows that
when the ears are loaded up at
G-iine-wille, they will go through to
the Georgia railroad, at Social Circle, seekim , a southern ;Ul)1 , aslern

ern to come to Athens.
4lh—A road run from here to Jug
Tavern will be a separate corporation
and a charter will have to be obtain
ed for the same, which cannot be
done during the present session of
the legislature, as the constitution re
quires notice to he published of the
iutention to apply lor a charter.
5th—A railroad from here to Jug
Tavern would antagonize the Gaines
ville and Jug Tavern road, and could
not bo run in harmony with that road,
as that road is seeking a connection
with the Georgia railroad at or about
Social Circle.
bth—If our people procure the ex
tension of the Gainesville and Jeffer
son road, then we will have a direct
and through connection with Gaines
ville, and the nearest route to At
lanta.
7th—Tho Gainesville and Jefferson
road can be connected at t lie Norths
eastern depot with the Georgia road,
where the Georgia railroad will be
fore long, locale its depot, and that
will give the people of Dahlonega and
GailiAKvillD lLa.^^^1. rater, ox o. il. u
Georgia railroad to the cities on the
coast.
8th—The road from Dahlonega will
be a narrow gauge, and so will the
one from Gainesville to Jefferson, and
hence freight put on the cars at Dah
lonega would more likely come to
Athens than to “break bulk’’ and re
load at Gainesville for Atlanta or
Richmond.
9th—To build the road to Law-
reneeville, it is forty-four miles, with
three rivers, to-wii: the Oconee, Ap-
palachec, and Alcova, and some creeks
to cross, and a good deal ot very
rough road. But when your road
reaches there where would you go to ?
Why you would hike the Lawrence-
ville road to the Air-Line, and you
would then be as completely under
the control ol the Richmond and Dan
ville as you are now at. Athens. But
some one will say go on to Atlanta.
That is about seventy-miles with tour
rivers and a number ot creeks to cross.
That would cost several millions of
dollars and is wholly impracticable.
But the Jtff'ersou read will cost about i
$-0,000 or $25,000 to grailo it, and
that is practicable
Our ]>eop!e can do that much, and
if we cannot buy the irou and rolling
stock, 1 reckon that Cols. 0. II. Pliin-
izy and W. M. Wadley will do as much
for this end of the line as they are
doing for the Gainesville end. that is
to say take the bonds of the company
with which the iron can be bought.
Hence, I say, to talk about a road
to Jug Tavern and Luwrencevillo is
utter nonsense. You can’t build
either. The Gainesville and Jefferson
1*0 id when extended to Athens, would
be as good a feeder for the Georgia
railroad as the Jug Tavern, when ex
tended to Social Circle, and I have uo
doubt that the owners of the Georgia
railroad will extend the same aid to
one that they will to the other.
lOih—But we are told by some ol
our people, that we want a road to
strike the Brunswick, between Macon
and Atlanta, and we are referred to
the energy of Bailey Thomas, &c,&c.
Now let us see what that will ]
amount to. In the first place the M:
con and Atlanta extension does noi
cross to the east side of the Ocmulgi
river, but runs up the west side
that river, by or near to Jackson
Butts county, and McDonough
Henry county. McDonough is about’
the nearest point you can strike it.
That is about seventy-five miles trom
Athens, and to reach it the Oconee,
Appalachee, Little, Alcova, Yellow,
and South rivers, and Barber’s, Jack’s
and ether large creexs will have to be
crossed. These rivers are surrounded
wilh hills and a rough country.
If our people are able and willing
to put two or three millions of-
in a railroad, then it will do to talk
abont building a road to strike the
Brunswick extension, but not other-,
wise. The truth is people talk a good
deal about things they know very little
about. I. is only about ninety miles
to Macon, and it is much the best
country to build a railroad through.
But we can build the road to Jeffers
son, and I apprehend that all of this
big talk about striking the Brunswick
extension is intended to avoid sub
scription to the Jeffeison and Gaines
ville raod—a road that we cau build
if we will try-
The writer of this saw Col. Allen
D. Candler, the president of the
Gainesville and Jefferson railroad, a
few days ago, and asked him it the
iron rails for his roal would be fur
nished, and the road run by the Rich
mond and Danville railroad. IIi« re
ply was that it would not, that his
company would buy its own iron from
the sale of its bonds, and would run
its own road. I thought his head was
level, on that subject, and suspected
that he had learned some wisdom*
from having seen small towusor cities
surrender their railroads to great cor
porations, as Athens has done to
Richmond and Danville.
The truth is. Col. Candler’s road is
outlet
over the Georgia railroad, and it is to
the interest of Athens to take advan
tage of the situation and make the
connection by tilling the gap between
Athens and Jefferson.
I am satisfied that persons who re
side on the line of the road from here
to Jcfler.-ou, iviil take stock according
to their moans, and if proper efforts
are made in the city and along the
line, funds can be raised to build the
road.
Then let our people turn their at-
tent ion, for a brief season, to this sub
ject. I tell you now, that unless some
thing is done very soon you had as
well to quit building stores and ware
houses, for you will have no trade for
your stores and nothing to put in your
warehouses if you stand quietly by
and allow all of the trade ot Jackson,

all probability, be completed, mu
statistics show that there are 200 gins
in the county. At an average of 200
bales to the gin, they would gin 40,-
000 bales in one seson. With in
creased facilities, new- enterprises will
spring up, ami her fine water powers
will soon be alive with the busy hum
of machinery along her creeks and
rivers.
She has some of the finest corn and
wheat lands in tiie state, anu iicr citi
zens will soon find that it is more
profitable to export than to import
grain and meat. Thousands of acres
of low lands now lying out could be
converted into the finest hay and
meadow lands. The finest mineral
water is patiently awaiting capital to
develop it into the Saratoga of the
South.
Will you, dear Bauner, help us to
more fully develop all the resources of
our county, by sending your wide

into their cars the note of progress
that is bound to resouud through her

The Temperance Move
‘Jack Plane,’ in a recent article to
the Savannah News, on the subject of
temperance, says:
‘I know sirno wholesale whisky
houses that have taken their drum
mers off the line of the Macon and
Brunswick Road because the counties
lying along and adjacent to the road
banished whisk v, and there was not
enough ot business to justify the em
ployment of a man —only two or three
counties along the whole line that li
cense barrooms. The threadbare dec
laration that people will have whisky,
anyhow, is forceless. It is true a tow
men send to Macon or Savannah, have
their kegs and jugs filled, but the
masses are delivered trom this evil.
And the kegs and jugs are getting less
frequent every year, and time will
work an entire cure. I have given
these fiicts, hoping that they may be
of service at this time.’
Pouring a brimming cup, they held
it with tempting smiles toward Ma
rion. SheVwas very pale, though
more composed; and hei hand shook
not, as smiling back, she gracetullv
accepted the crystal tempter, and
raised it to her lips. But scarcely
had she done this, when every hand
was arrested by her piercing excla
mation of ‘Oh, how terrible !’
‘What is it ?’ cried one and all,
thronging together, tor she had slow
ly carried the glass at arm’s length,
and was fixedly regarding it as though
it were some hideous object.
‘Wait,’ she answered, while a light,
which seemed inspired, shone from
her dark eyes, ‘Wait, and I’ll tell you.
I, see,’ she added slowly, pointing one
jeweled finger at the sparkling, ruby,
liquid, ‘a sight that beggars all de
scription , and yet listen—I will paint
it for you if I can. It is a lovely-
spot ; tall mountains crowded with
verdure rise in_ awful sublimity
around, a l iver runs through, anil
bright flowers grow to the watei’s
edge. There is a thick, warm mist,
that tho sun seeks vainly to pierce.
Trees, lofty and beautiful, wave to
tho airy motion of the bird; but
there—a group of Indians gather;
they flit to and fro, wilh something
like sorrow upon their dark brows.
And in their midst lies a manly form
—but his cheek, how deathly; his eye
wild with the fitful fire of fever. One
friend stands besides him—nav, I
should say kneels, for see, he is pil
lowing that poor head upon his bn ast.
‘Genius in ruins—on the high,
holy looking brow/! Why should
death mark it, and ho so young?
Look how he throws hack the damp
curls ! see how lie clasps his hands!
hear his thrilling shrieks for life!
mark how he clutches at the form of
liis companion, imploring to be saved.
Oh,hear him call piteously his father’s
name—see him twine his fingers to

his only sister—the (twin of his soul

bridal party shrank back, the untested
wine trembling in their faltering
grasp, and the Judge fell overpowered
upon his seat—‘see! his arms are
lilted to heaven, he prays, how wild
ly, for mercy 1 hot fever rushes
through his veins. The friend be
side him is weeping; awe-stricken,
the dark men move silently away,
and leave the living and the dyin"-
together.’
There was a hush in that princely
parlor, broken only by what seemed
^ , . uot J , ,^ e A i# ‘ : Writyi^r,
wii h quivering lip and tears stealing
to the outward edge ot her lashes.
Her lieantiful arm had lost its tension,
and the glass, with its little troubled
red waves, came slowly toward the
range of her vision. A s she spoke
again, every lip was mute. Her voice
was low, faint, yet awfully distinct;
she stiff fixed her sorrowful glance
upon the wine cup :
‘It is evening now; the great white
moon is coming up and her beams lie
gently on his forehead. lie moves
not; dim are their piercing glances,
in vain liis friend whispers the name
ot mother and sister—death is there.
Death—and no sott liand, no gentle
voice to bless and soothe him. His
head sinks back 1 one convulsive shud
der—he is dead
A groan ran through the assembly.
So vivid was her description, so un
earthly her look, so inspired her man
ner, that what she described seemed
actually to have taken place then and
there. They noticed, also, that the
bridegroom hid his face in his hands
and was weeping.
‘Dead !’ she repeated again, her lips
quivering faster and faster, and her
voice mere and more broken; ‘and
there they scooped him a grave, and
there, without a shroud, they lay him
down in that damp, reeking earth;
the only son of a proud father, the
idolized brother of a loud sister. And
he sleeps to-day in t hat distant coun

There he lies—my father’s son—my
own twin brother! a victim to this'
deadly [loison. Father,’ she exclaimed,
turning suddenly, while the tears
rained down her beautiful cheeks,
‘father, shall I drink >t now ?’
The form ot the old .nidge was con
vulsed wilh agony. He raised not
his head, hut in a smothoied voice he
faltered. ‘No, no, my child—no!’
She lifted the glittering goblet, and
letting it suddenly fall to the floor, it
was dashed into a thousand pieces.
Many a tearful eye watched her move,
incut, and instantaneouslv every wine
glass was transferred to the marble
table oil which it had lu-en prepared.
Then, as she looked at the fragments
of the crystal, she turn d to the com

Editor Post Appeal: I was
much surprised on reading in your
columns of ye-terday a paragraph
from the Macon Telegraph, in which
it was said that I hall been talking
‘radical rot’ in a Ssnday-school ad
dress at Suwanee, county of Gwinnett
It was news to me; it will be news to
the editor of the ‘Gwinnett Herald’
and to the hundreds of men, women
and children who heard tho talk. In
dependent of that sense of propriety,
one of the purest inheritances of ‘the
old south,’ which would prevent me
from any allusion to po'itics lest I
might sully the ermine with which
Georgia has honored me, I should
have been deterred from it by that
delicacy and taste which is the com
mon inheritance of gentlemen every
where. Tt was a social gathering of
the followers of Christ without dis
tinction of sect from some twenty
Sunday-schools assembled to promote
the great cause of the education of
the souls of the young youth lor
heaven—a cause compared with which
all political discussion, all national
advancement, all railroad and manu
laeturing enterprise, however impor
tant in themselves, sink into nothing
ness just as all lesser lights go out
when the sun shines; and to obtrude
any allusion to tadicalism, rotten or
sound, on such an occasion, would
have been rude, perhaps even irreve
rent.
Certainly not a word was said by
me, or anybody else which I heard',
having the most remote allusion to
political affairs
It was a delightful gathering; to
me a most enjoyable day. I stood
among the friends of my youth—the
lew left this side the grave—most
were dead, but in the faces of the
younger I saw the lineaments of thtir
parents. Thus when I rose to speak
—and the address was extempora
neous—the dead south with its dead,
always good to me and heaping hon
ors upon me arose in memory before
me, and around me was the new
south with all its prospects and pos
sibilities in the persons of the chil
dren of the beloved and honored
dead. It was natural to allude to
the one as old and dead—to the oth
er as young and alive. The one was
my dead south, sacred to me as the
grave of my father; the other,my, liv
ing south, dear to me, it possible, as
the children ot my loins. AVith that
assembly I bent reverently over the
grave ol the one, and hailed with
hope the new life of the other. May
it be the resurrection ot the corpse
with all that was noble and good and
pure about it when alive, but leave in
that grave all that was wrong!
I did not know that it manifested
a want of reverence or of affection
for the old South to say that it was
tkflrtr sms momdiV-itlfcj •»« -hr-mr
This ignorance is my only sin on that
occasion in this connection, and this
alone has brought upon me this scur
rilous attack ot the] Macon paper,
that I had been talking 'radical rot’
at a Sunday school celebration. I am
at a loss to conjecture who penned
the paragraph; It could not have
been th6 sober and cultured chief. He
commands good English and has no
need ot Billiugsgate; nor Jones, with
his facile and fluent pen, for in his
veins is the best blood ot the old south,
and nothing chivalrous would use so
coarse a blade; nor can it be Reese
who struck the Joab blow, for bis
too is an honored name as well in the
old as in the new Georgia, and his
friendship trom boyhood to this hour,
so far as I know, forbids such a sus
picion. It must have been a novice
in the office. I will not say a novitis
ate in polite writing—who handled
the unaccustomed pen.
So conjecturing, I leave the para
graph, the paper and the writer. I
have written the above and ask you
to publish it as you did the attack
upon me, in order that those who
read your paper and do not know me
may feel assured that I have not
dragged Georgia’s ermine in fi’.th, or
uttered a sentiment disloyal or disre
spectful to the land of my fathers.

A cotton picker has been the
great want ia the cotton -prod u eing
sections ot the south, and now Mr. H.
P. Dooley of Forest City, Arkansas,
claims, after having worked at it four
years, to have succeeded in inventing
the desired machine. Mr. Dooley
says that one man and two horses are
all the help needed for his picker; the
driver sacks and throws the cotton
overboard as the machine goes from
turn to turn. The machine can be
used ns soon as enough cotton is open
to justify running it, and soon unti
all the cotton is open. If all the cot
ton is open the picker will pick eight
acres of cotton a day, whilst it can be

Address of Dr. Hell Before the Legislature
Yesterday.
Yesterday morning at 9 o’clock hy
request Chancellor Well addressed the
general assembly in the interest of the
State university. There, was a full
attendance of members and a goodly
number of citizens in the galleries.
Dr. Mell said :
Many mistakes are made as to the
character of the universities. So
inany institutions aro called ucivei^n
ties that the public mind will com**
pare us to institutions from which we
are entirely dissimilar. We are not
like the German system,* which start*

discipline. In the university the
course is #0100110, and each student
regulates his own conduct. \Ve treat
onr students on the ground that most
of them are boys; we therefore place
them under certain rules. They
must atteud prayer and recitations.
We enforce the attendance of the
student and we lay down tho course
of study which lu- is to pursue. Our
university is constructed to meet the
needs of boys as well as men.
In the German universities every
thing is theory—there is no practice.
Wo unite the practice with the theo
ry. The European colleges do not
practice young men in writing or or
atory, and they criticise us for doing
so. But the geuius of our institutions
is such that our people must be a
writing and a speaking pet pie.
We also differ from the English
people in some respects, while in oth
ers we are like the English. At Ox
ford there are tweuty-lhree colleges,
all constituting the university.’ Cam
bridge has nineteen colleges all mak
ing one university. We have the
Franklin college au*l the agricultural
school at Athens, and the branch
colleges in the state are parts of the
university. All degrees in England,
as with us, are conferred by the uni
versity.
It is an error to suppose that the
colleges are for the rich alone. The
university is endowed and its tuition
is brought to the capacity of the poor
est people. Without an endowment
tuition at Athens would bo $150 a
year.
Like the English, we have schol
arships. We are allowed as many
scholarships as there are members of
the general assembly, iu the agricul.
tural school at Athens. And in
Franklin college we have 50 scholar-
t'Mps for deserving young men who
are not able to pay.
The university differs from the de
nominational colleges in the stale.
And here let me say that I am notan
antagonist of the two denomiuntional
colleges. It has been my fortune to
teach iu both. I wish to see both
flourish. They exert a conservative
influence which we could not get
elsewhere. They stand as a warning
to the trustees ol the State university
that they must respect the religious
sentiments of the people. There is
always danger that in universities
under political control that men of
skeptical tendencies may get into the
P' Ition of instructors. If this should
ever happen in Georgia there would
be a cry, ‘To your tents, O, Israel!”
and there would be the tents ready
for them.
The difference between these
schools and the university is that they
give only the old A.B. degree, while
we have various degrees iu both cols
leges, giving advanced advantages in
modern languages, in ancient langua
ges, and in sciences. Young men
llhr _hc.Il- nVant-tm-r imvji
Dr. Mell read an editorial from the
Constitntion as to the true course of
the university in fitting men up for
practical life.
He said that able journal has always
been the friend of the university. It
has supported me well there, and when
I see a criticism in the Constitution,
I know it is a criticism of a friend.
We are giving just what the. editorial
asks now and are turniug out excel
lent civil engineers and men who are
prepared for the practical work of life,
if It is asked why we turn out so
many A. B.’s and so few practical
scientists and busiuess men, I say it is
because they don’t come. Dr. Harris,
of the Richmond college, tells me that
this year Harvard turned out 182
graluntes and only one Bachelor of
science. The reason why there are so
many lawyers and doctors graduate
and so lew civil and mining engineers
is because there is a dcman-l for the
former and not for the latter. The
demand will always regulate the sup
ply. We ought not to he reproached
tor not graduating more practical buss
iness men, when you don’t send them
to us. We are prepared to educate
men as well in these practical sciences
as any college iu the South.
It is objected to the university that
there : s no religion there. True, no
religion is taught there, neither is it
taught in nny other literary college.
Every prolessor at the university is a
member of oue of the great denomi
nations in the State. The Bible is
read to the students and one of the
professors prays. I insist that there
is more religion there than anywhere
else in Georgia; The chancellor is
required to preach to the students
every Sunday, and they are required
to attend. I thank God that such is
my privilege to address one of the
grandest audiences in tho world -an
audience of educated minds. There
are no denominational teachings there
and there are no such teachings any
where in the state. At the university
the pro f e980rs of the different denom
inations teach in Sunday schools and
each gathers around him the \ oung
men of his own faith and drills them in
it. The universiiy is a religious in
stitution hut not a denominational in
stitution. •
As to the discipline at the univer
sity, I cannot bear witness as it is in
my hands. The government there i*
responsible. It is respected. It is a
government of influences. It takes
hold of the In-art of the student and
destroys all disposition tocolhge tricks.

The expenses at the universiiy are
very low. Room rent is nothing.
Thirteen dollars and a halt a month
will board the student. There is no
other place in Georgia where there art-
such cheap rates. The majority of the
boys at the university are poor boys.
The society ol Athens is polished.
