SEEING THE CITY.
I hav -just taken a strolo over . the
Central City, and it is certainly a live
and growing place, With the excep
tion of .nr owii Athens I don’t kuow a
city in Georgia with a brighter future
th.ui Macon.
It is a beautiful site for a great city,
being suiroumied by an ampitheatre ot
hi I s, that are crowned with imposing
public e iiives and palat al private
resiliences.
Mv most interesting visit this morn
ing was to tlm oliiee of the Georgia,
Southern and Florida Railroads, \fhieh
is. by the way, the healthiest and most
vigorous infant in the State. I was
especially interested in this new line,
ns it owes not only its existence, but its
unprecedented success to Athenians or
gentlemen closely aligned with our
city. This road was built by Mr. Jell
Lane, with Mr. Henry Wells as chief
engineer and Mr. T. P. Stanley assis
tant engineer. Mr. Lane took hold of
the enterprise with only the charter to
begin on, and succeeded in raising
company with $50,COO. But he is one
of Georgia’s clearest-headed busine
men, and began his work in a business
like manner. Mr. Lane never let out
contract for work or material but he
had the money in hand to pay the bills
promptly when due. By this means be
soon gained the confidence of capital
ists in securing all the money necessary
to, build the finest and best equipped
road in the South. It extends from
Macon, Ga., to Palatka, Fla., which is
the head of deep navigation on the St
Johns river. A regular schedule
now run to Valdosta, and on next Sun
day will be extended to Lake City, to
which point the road is now completed
By I December next, the entire line will
be in operation to Palatka
Xot content with this, Mr. Lane will
this week l*-t out contracts on the Ma
con and Birmingham road, which will
he hastened to completion, thus making
this one of the m st important lines in
the South. Although in an incom
plete state, the G., S. & F. is now pay
ing handsomely, and its stock is worth
$275.
Mr. Lane c*n get $300,000 for his in
terest in the road, and Mr. Henry Wells
$100,000 for his stock—all of which
money the gentlemen have made in the
last three years.
Through the kindness of Mr. Gus
Stanley we visited the site where this
company will erect their yards aud ma
chine shops, and examined their rolling
; t ick. They have 23 large Mogul ioc -
motives, passenger coaches, and f -eight
cars, besides all manner of equipments
for the road. All the coaches, are the
finest ever brought South, and are like
Pullman sleepers. Northern tourist*
say they ha t no idea there were such
an equipped road in the South.
To-night I leave for L *ke City, Fla.,
over the S., F. & W., which is known
as the “Suwanee River Route,” with
Mr. J. H. Dorsey as guide, and will
write you a daily description of my
trip. Will probably visit Jacksonville,
Palatka and St. Augistee before I re
turn home.
I am indebted to the officers of the
S., F. & W. for great courtesies.
I am impressed with the rapid strides
the South is making. Dr. Gibson, of
of Macon, who has just returned from a
visit to New York, says every one he
met is talking about the South, and the
wonderful progress it is making to
ward development. Northern capital
is ready and anxious to seek investment
among us, and the future of our coun
try is too great for contemplation
Murder Creek, on the C. Sc M. road,
was so christened from the fact that the
early pioneers found a dead mason its

about one mile above where the Madi-

that stream.
l had an interesting conversation on
the train with Col. Key, Vice-President
of the C. & M. road, and one of thelead-
apart for them. It takes a man with
coolness and courage to manage these
negroes and when they discover that
“the boss” is not to be fooled with they
behave themselves in bis presence.
With these overseers it is a word and
a blow.

says there is enough rich bottom land
uncultivated on Little River, in Jasper
county, to raise corn for the country.
He suggests that a law be passed re
pining every man owning land on a
water course in Georgia* to keep the
hannel of the stream open through his
property, so as not to destroy the value
of the low-grounds above for agricultu
ral purposes. Col. Key very properly
reasons that if a man hasn’t publie-snir- v
it enough to keep his streams clear of
obstructions that this land should pass
into the hands of some one who-will
utilize i£. One thriftless or contentious
person can render worthless a long strip
of valuable low-grounds belonging to
those above him. This is a wise sug
gestion, and we would like to see it act
ed upon by our legislators.

men in the Central City. Mr. Howe is
an honest, God-fearing old man, and
his sons prove that there is truth m the
command to “train up a child in the
way he should go.”
**•*
Every since I left Athens I have been
/met everywhere with anxious inquiries
as to the condition of our honored and
beloved fellow-citizen, Judge Y. L. G
Hands. His name is revered as much
abroad as at home, and when he is sick
and suffering the hearts of the peopl
of Georgia throb in sympathy for him
I liad no idea that Judge Harris was so

I have just taken a moonlight glimpse
of Cordele, the coming metropolis of
South Georgia. This city is like
young man’s mustache—extensively
laid out and thinly settled. At present
Cordele coi sists of a hotel, several mix
ed stores, a half-completed artesian
well, and the biggest kind of prospects.
In the new prospectus there is a bank,
a cotton factory, several nne brick
blocks and all the requisite attachments
to a first-class modern city. We pre
dict the biggest kind of a future for
Cordele. A few months ago it was a
howling wilderness. To-day it is back
ed by unlimited capital and the enter
prising managers of the G., S. & F.
road. In five years from to-day I would
not he surprised to see Cordele have
10,000 inhabitants.

The road is about an air-line, and -trov

I do not know . a finer opening in
America for a young man than for him
to locate on this soil. The country is
as fresh as he will find out West, and
there are plenty of avenues for every
line of business—whether manufactur
ing, fanning or merchandising. Back
ed by industry and pluck, a man can
but succeed here and grow rich with
>’OOd management.
At Cvclonedia, .95 miles below Ma
con, in Erwin county, the G., S. & F.
road is establishing a model farm that
that will lay the State’s experimental
station in the shade. It em
braces 1,000 acres, and the land is now
being put in the.Lightest state of culti
vation. The fields are enclosed with
plank fences, every stump taken up,
aud the most improved agricultural im
plements used. It is proposed to gr *.v
here, to the greatest perfection, every
fruit and crop that the soil and climate
can produce, and the most learned and
skilled agriculturists that this country
and Europe can furnish will be em
ployed to superintend their cultivation,
*„*
A fine hotel, to cost $50,000, will be
built at Cyclonedia; a $0,t00 house
is now in course of erection, and
every other necessary buildings, all to
be of the finest and most improved de
sign. Recently an imported Arabian
tallion, that cost $2,700, and several
car-loads of fine thoroughbred breed
mares,as also an imported Spanish
Jack, brought from Europe, are now
aroused to stock this farm. The road
also imported four southdown sheep at i
a cost of $500, the rant guaranteed to

Valdosta, Ga October 8.—1 reached

left Macon at 4 p. m. Superintendent
Hogue, of the G., S. & F. road, most
kindly gave Mr. J. H. Dbrsev leave of
absence to accompany me on iny trip, .
and a better guide could not be had.
While young in the service of the road, j
Doc already knows the entire road as
the streets of Athens.
The gigantic mogul engiue No. 4
pulled our train under the master hand
of that splendid engineer, Tom Water-
house, while the train was in charge
of • that popular and accommodating
conductor W. F. Holt.
The G., S. & F. trains run on the
Northern plan. Every attaclree of the
road is uniformed, and a brakeman
stands.at the doors'iind requires a pas
senger toabownis ticket before boarding
the train. Tlie coaches are palaces on

The great South Georgia saw-mills
are in themselves a sight well-worth
seeing, and I shall visit one of the lar
gest before my return to Athens, that I
may be able to describe to The Banner
readers the lightning-like process of
converting the stately giants of the for
est into lumber.
***
I can see from the ear windows the
three slabs transported upon a frame
fifty feet high, from which they are
cast into a pit where the fire is never
extinguished until therplant is taken up
aud moved. This sight would furnish
an excellent text for a sermon: All,of a
tree that is pure in heart is saved for
a useful purpose, while the refuse is
oasff*ffcto a pit where the raging fire is
never allowed to go out.
***
The saw mill and turpentine hands
are a rough and hard set,and every con
ductor of a train in this region goes
belt of magnificent farm lands—a vast,
plane now maturing a bounteous har
vest of cotton, corn, potatoes, hay, etc.
The cotton fields are like a prairie cov
ered with snow. Caterpillars have
stripped off the foliage, aud nearly ev
ery boll is open. Where the pickers
have been the fields look like the dead
of winter.
1 he scenery along tlie road is devoid
of that dreamy monotony characteris
tic of most Southern lines, In looking
from tlie car windows there is a con
stantly shifting panorama. One in
stant you penetrate an almost tropica!
swamp—front this you dash into a sec
tion that reminds the traveller of a great
Western plain, where as far as the eye
can reach is presented an unbroken ex
posure of well-tilled farms and cozy
house's. You next pass through a forest
untouched by tlie woodman’s axe. Far
to the right tlie landscape is bounded
by the azure-ridge formed by the hills
clip 25 pound# of wool. Besides this i ot county, almost resembling

hogs, poultry and farm stock of all
description. No money - will be spared
in preparing and stocking this farm.
**
The road goes to this vast expendi
ture for the purpose of proving to the
world that the pine lands of South
Georgia will do under scientific culti
vation, and it is impossible to estimate
the value that this experimental farm
will be in developing this splendid sec
tion of our State, in inducing good eai-
igrants to settle here, and encouraging
our owm people to change their own
mode of farming and adopt modern and
advanced ideas. We hope that the ex
ample set by the G., S. and F. road will
be taken up and followed^ by other
gieat railway lines in our State. Such
an experiment farm should be started
near Athens.

Cyclonedia derives its name from the

station we pass long freight trains—one
of which contained 43 cars—most of
them laden with lumber. The lum

this road, as it traverses for a long dis

lands that a few years ago were almost
valueless are now veritable gold mines
to these owners.
After leaving Macon, the first place
of interest we reached is Beachhaven—
the other stations being as yet little
towns in their swaddling clothes, but
destined in a few years to become
hriving towns all.
Beachhaven is a breathing place for
Macon and the patrons of the G., S. &
F. It is distant 30 miles from that city
and although only established . last
spring has became one of the most pop
ular and finest picnic grounds in the
South. This generous and enterprising
railway company has already expended
$5,000 in beautifying the grounds here
and it will take $6,000 more to complete
them, which will be done by next
spring. There are 100 acres in the
grounds, that is a dense original forest,
and at no hour during the day does the
sun’s rays touch the ground. Beautiful
buildings have been erected for the ac
comodation of visitors, and everything
that can aid to their pleasure and com
fort provided. In this park are found
everj r variety of tree or shrub found in
this section. The ladies’ reception
house is a fine octagon brick building
that would do credit to -any city, while
the dancing pavilion and other build
ings are models of agricultural beauty
and skill. Every week during the past
summer Macon emptied itself at Beech
Haven, thus showing its appreciation
of the kindness and liberality of the G.,
S. & F. in providing for the public such
a delightful retreat for the heat and
dust of the city.
