The coming of the Georgia, Carolina
& Northern into this section is herald
ed with delight by all citixena.
Not simply because it is a new road
and in that particnlar something of ca
riosity and attraction, but because it
opens up to commerce one of the rich
est sections of country in tbe State.
It also is a competing line to that
great syndicate and combination, tbe
Richmond Terminal Company that is
attempting to crash out the very best
interests of the State.
The people arc hence very glad indeed
to see tbe new road completed to Ath
ens and pushing on to Atlanta.
When completed it will be one of tbe
greatest trunk lines in the south and
will do nearly all the eastern business
of this section. It will be a good pay
ing investment for tbe owners and
operators and also a great boom to tbe
people of this section of Georgia.
Not only has it opened np a fine sec
tion, but its very presence lends
additional value to every acre of land
within its scope and.stamps prosperity
on every town and hamlet along the
line.
Since its completion to Elberton and
Athens little towns have sprung like
magic from tbe hitherto unbroken for
ests, and are now taking rapid and pro
gressive strides. They are being built
up by & prosperous people and behind
them are all the elements of success,
As the days go by they will grow
and thrive; new railroads will branch
out from them; new industries will be
established; tbe splendid crops will be
shipped over the new railroad;
and many new manufacturing institu-
tutions will be started up.
The watchword and battle cry of all
these young towns along the line of the
Georgia, Carolina A Northern, is
•‘Progress,” and they will make things
bum.
WHAT THEV ARE DOING.
Just seven miles from Athens is
Hull, located on Mr. R. H. Bullock’s
land. It i6 situated in a splendid sec
tion of country and good farming land,
possesses every quality for
ling a great place.
Tbe railroad is now putting
in side tracks and fixing up its station
in tip top order. Next week the town
will be laid ofi in lots and they will be
sold off to the highest bidders. Every
thing is in good shape here and proper
ty is advancing steadily in value. Hull
promises to be a lively little town.
The next station is
VIVE FORKS
in Madison county and is located in a
most favorable spot. Here tbe fimith-
onia, Danielsville & Carnesville railroad
will tap the G. C. & X., and tbe
two roads will bring to
Five Forks a large amount of business.
The town is already laid off and the lots
are selling at a good price. Indeed.”
remarked a G. C. & N. man yesterday.
Five Forks promises to be one of the
very best places in every particular
along tbe line.”
Comer is a town a little further along
the line. It has anticipated matters
more than the other places and is
already on a great big boom. There
are already fifteen bouses or more at
Comer ana more are being built daily.
Merchants are locating there and are
laying i-i good lines of
merchandise in eveiy branch of the bu
siness. Several citizens have built
handsome residences at Comer and the
citizens of this bustling little town are
bent on making it one of tbe prtncij
lints along the-line of tbe
arolma A Northern.

GOV. NORTHBN TALKS.
Why Charges Were Not Preferred
Against Livingston.
Gov. Northen was asked Friday why
Dr. Gibson sought to bring charges be
fore the state alliance instead of the ex
ecutive committee. He gave quite a
number of reasons.
(1.) When the president and other of
ficials of the Georgia state alliance were
charged before the Ocala convention
last December with certain offenses the
convention considered the charges and
appointed a committee to investigate
the complaints. The charges were nev
er referred to the executive committee.
(8.) In the last session of tbe state al
liance of Georgia John Sibley preferred
chaiges against Col. CorpuL The
charges were first referred to a special
committee, but afterwards were con
sidered by tbe committee on tbe good
of the order.
(3.) Last March Col. Livingston pub
lished a card expressing bis willingness
to call tbe executive committee together
and snbmit all charges to it that might
be brought against tbe State Alliance
officials; and if that was objectionable
he would call a session of tbe State Al
liance and submit of tbe matter to that
body. (4 ) In an interview June 10 he
again expressed his readiness to throw
the executive committee open to the
men who had charges to make, and
told them that if they were not satisfied
to go before the committee he would
call the State Alliance together, even
though it would be at a cost of $2,000
These reasons were deemed a suffi
cient guarantee that the investigation
could be had before tbe Alliance.
There was strong precedent for this
course, and the president bad more
than once publicly said that the charges
would be entertaiued by tbe conven
tion.
Again it was not possible to obtain
some important testimony in time, in
deed, it has not yet been received; bat
it was thought best not to delay tbe
matter longer than tbe session of tbe
state Alliance. The investigating com
mittee at Ocala reported that they
could not approve of Col. Livingston’s
connection with tbe late canvass for
United States senator before our gen
eral assembly. Tbe testimony before
that committee was, therefore, consid
ered of importance for this investiga
tion. This testimony was solicited
from H. C. Demining of Harrisburg,
Pa., who was secretary as well as a
member of that committee. This was
not received, and bis correspondence
explains, in part tbe necessity for the
delay in presenting tbe charges before
tbe order
Continuing, the governor said: “We
had precedent for going before, the
convention. We bad tbe positive
statement of the president,several times
made public, that the charges would be
heard in the convention. Even
after we were in session he told Dr.
Gibson that be should be beard at the
proper time, still confirming tbe right
to be beard before the alliance.
We did not want to put the alliance to
the expense ef a called session; there -
fore we took the coarse we did. We
thought as these matters had been before
tbe publio some months that every man
in tbe convention should hoar the tes
timony and the defense.. I mean no
reflection upon the committee, but we
will not go before it. When we go to
the committee he will then say that
precedent demands that we go before
tbe alliance. No, sir, wb&t I know is
how absolutely in my control. I have
done my duty to the order in offering
the convention some damaging facts.
They were violently thrown back into
my hands, and I am now at liberty to
use them as I see fit.”

Mr. A. F. Comer owns most of the
land on which tbe town is situated, and
in bis honor tbe town bears the name of
Comer.'
Carlton has gotten a move on it and
has quite a number of oitizens. All of
these places are bran new settlements
and for the most part are carved from
tbe hitherto unbroken forest. Carlton
is a new place, bat it is destined to
prove to the world that grit and energy
builds a town faster and better than sit
ting back and relying on age and pres
tige. Tbe land upon which Carlton is
sitnated is owned by Mr. J. A. Russell
aud be has a bonanza in it.
J. D. Long has recently built a
large saw mill at Carlton and is
a big business.
Oglesby is tbe next station. It is a
small place as yet, but promises much
in the way of growth and improyement.
It is situated at a good point am
good future before it. ....
Elberton is a name quite familiar
*rfch all of our citizens. It is eynomy-
roou3 with success, and the city is filled
with brainy, energetic men who know
how to build a city. It is now doin
large business and the building of I
C. C. ,Y X. means a great deal for the
place. It gives it a good railroad
facilities which in addition to those
already psnswsed in the Elberton
Air Line will make the city thrive and
prosper. It does good cotton and gen-
ral mercantile trade, and the Elber-
ton Oil Mills is reported at a capital
ized stock of over one million dollars
It has two bright and newsy sheets, the
Star and tbe Gazette, that furnish
good reading, and in every branch ^of
bn«iness is doing well. It is only an
hours ride from Elberton to Athens and
He wanted to scoop in some street
car nickles.
And he got a ballet through his
shirt.
That’s the whole story made short.
On August 30th at a late hour when
tbe street care had all been run in out
at the plant and tbe conductors had
all made their reports and emptied
their pockets to manager Voss, Mr.
Howell Cobb Jr., started home.
Mr. Cobb is one of the obliging con-
ductorfftm the electric cars.
While he was walking through tbe
old fair ground in tbe dark, a big black
negro stalked out from the side of his
path and said:
“Boss, give me a cigarette, please.”
Mr. Cobb told him he had no ciga
rette, and walked on thinking no more-
about tbe little occurrence.
He hadn’t gone a hundred yards when
the same of negro man came out from
his path side and said:
Boss let me examine that satchel
you got on your shoulder I want to see
how it works.”
He referred to the little nickle plated
register that Mr. Cobb carried on his
shoulder, the contrivance used
all the conductors
register their fares as they are col
lected. They are not made to hol-1
money and cannot be used for purses.
The negro evidently thought so, and
was aiming at robbing Mr. Cobb of tbe
register.
Mr. Cobb saw tbe point in an in-
Btant and said to the negro.
If you come an inch nearer to me
11 shoot a hole
through you big enough to let the day
light through.”
The negro, in spite of this threat,
walked a step or two nearer, when Mr.
Cobb retaining his coolness warned
him again:
“Stand back, I tell yon. If yon
come closer I’ll part your hair for
you,” and with this drew a
revolver which he had cautiously put in
his belt before leaving tbe car shed.
The negro possibly didn’t a ee the pis
tol for he came within a few feet of Mr.
Cobb. It looked too much like an
assault and Mr. Cobb fired twice.
The negro pelled and ran away. Mr.
Cobb thinks he hit him with one of
the shots.
It is supposed to be one of the rail
road negroes.
