result of the opening up new railroad
facilities and the giving to the pro
ducer and merchant two instead of
one way of sending and receiving
what has to be shipped to and from
it. Where was she, where did she
stand, before the Northeast road
was built? I grant in her capital
water power, former localized agri
cultural resoure.s, in her snbsta tial
cotton, wonlen and other manufacture
ing interests; acknowledged school
advantages and remarkably intelli
gent, refined society she had reason
able prospects ;in time, in years of
growing (but it would have been
very gradual), into something of a
city. Now, as I see In r future, it
Mill only take two or three years of
her present rapidly increasing pros-
Jierity, a more extended knowledge
of her natural and acquired commer
cial advantages lo place lnwalongside
of cities now largely outs zing her in
population, amount of busiae.-s trans
acted, value of her corner lots, and
increasing demand for more and
larger store and warehouses
This marvelous work of a year has
aroused a half, yes threc-fourilisdead
people, in a business point of view,
into a startling new life, and to run
nln ost wild with new and hr'ght
hopes. They are imbued with the
spirit of progress. They are deter
mined to do. “ Where there’s a will
there’s a way,” and therefore I see
f<>r them the “ good time coming.”
They have become ambitious. They
are net satisfied with a portion ofthe
trade and products of Elbort, Wilkes,
Oglethorpe, Green, Morgan. Oconee,
Walton, While, Towns, Union and
other counties, but they want it all.
They say they will—quietly. I will
throw in just here, in parenthesis,
that the live merchants of Atlanta
trill tanks that questionable.
More, as I see the situation, it
would lie the part of wisdom of the
citizens of Augusta to make the en
deavor to utilize in part, if not wholly,
the energy of the Athens people and
their own future prosperity It has,
I grant, a great deal of wealth, an
almost unlimited credit, a grand 14,«
000 water ( ower, elegant and thrifty
factories, utilizing probably 2.500 or
3,000 souls, and the centralization of
capital and brains on the subject of
putting in operation other manufac
turing establishments, which is pleas
ant to contemplate; but we ask, with
all due respect, if it is the part of
wisdom to altogether depend upon
ext> usive manufacturing interests
alone to make or keep the city grow
ing? A large, favorable general
inaikct will certainly make it still
greater. The people of Athens have
grand schemes on the tapis to carry
