was that he went to a dance a few

ftloyor Unto Whose Htan*
or to
Editor News, Dear Sir : Now tlpit
j tlye railroad whistle is heard from onq
aide of our county to the other, send
ing a thrill of joy through every heart
having the good of our people at inter
est, it is well we should not be forget
ful of the services of those instrumen
tal in the consuination of the same.
And as many of our citizens may not
he acquainted with the building of our
railroad it may not beimpropper for a
reader of your paper to give a little of
the history. Time and space will not
admit of details.
Ist. The building oj'leasing of the
M. A B, R. R., was first suggested by
Gov. A. H. Colquitt, in his message
to the General Assnfiply, (See journal
of House of Representatives, page 28,)
in which the Governor gives his rea
sons in full. To carry out the recom
mendations of the governor, Hon. Al
len Fort, of Sumpter, wared a special
committee to investigate and report
i\pon said recommediation. (Seepage
65J of thejoarnal.)
In complience with this resolution,
tlie Spenker appointed Fort chairman,
Garrard, Harris and Anderson, as a
special committee fr-ojpt the House to
not with a similar coniuhttee from the
Senate. (Seejournal page-78.)
A bill was introduced by some mem
ber but after its reference to the com
mittee, it was at the request of
the member introducing withdrawn.
Mr. Fort then introduced a bill to cre
ate a Board of Comm dinners to man
age and otherwise dispose of Macon &
Brunswick R. R. (See pagp 666 of the
journal, 1879.) For certain reasons the
hill being called on 7th 1879,
Mr. Fort moved to lay on the table
which was passed. (See journal 1879,
page 984.)
Mr. Fort’s bill, after various objec
tions and amendments, and after an
able support from Mr. Fort, was pass
ed and returned to the House. (See
page 1036 of journal.)
By' taking this history of the case it
can be readily seen that our county are
under lansting obligations, to Qov. A.
H. Colquitt, and to Hon. Allen Fort,
for our road.
Your correspondent gives this breef
history of facts, that our people may
know who were the principal leaders in
getting the railroad through qpy cwpi
ty. He should never forget the fiioors
especially of Mr. Fort, r,s your corres
pondent waa present durfiig ppytion
of the debates in the jlousp ctf Repre
sentatives, and is with the
many difficulties with which he had to
contend.
Begging parden for sq much space,
lam your truly, a friupfi to the rail
road and all its support?)*.

Highwater bridge Towaliga,
Mr. Editor: 1 beg space in the
columns ot your most valuable paper
:o give few thoughts on topics in
which wo are deeply interest! and. Not
that I will s y auyihing that will be
ot any import, but that perhaps I
may be instrumental in getting some
one to think upon a question, which
[ uornsider ot vital importance to the
county. One in w ich all are inter
ested “Slock Law.”
We are too apt to shut our eyes to
the question which most vitally >on
cern us and be blinded to our own in
terest, We sometjmes fly off at a
tangent, go wild iq politics and when
not unbiased by pp.yudioe or passion
could not tell for life oi us thp
cau e ot so doing,
Mv opinion is vvp do not think.
Very few know huyp to think, ami ot*
ten when we understand ilie facia, we
imagine* we are great dbal wiser
ilian we are judge without thinking
and with ut. an acc><l?|it errotieoqs|y.
I believe in every man having the
prerogative of voting iho way he wish
es or any issue that may arise, in?
died I think him :i voiy poor spoei
men of human out life does he not
take this prerogative.
But ‘‘or the life of ipe I cannot -ec
any feasible grounds why a iptyi
should not cast hi* vote in favor ol
the Stock law, 1 k now there are
many pret'y, simple, imaginary difi
culties in the wav as. we are not us- and
to it, causes litigation, gives a man a
chance to act a raseqf pip.
So far as being ttspd to it is con
cerned I thought in tlie last decade or
so we had undergone so chans
ges that we had leaippd how to be.
come accustomed to almost anything,
when it woqjd be for the
letter. Cicero said long, long years
sgo cuHtorns change, manners change,
limes change, and wo changed with
;hetn. This is indeed an ago of prog
ress, and if we would keep peace with
the mighty armies of the world that
arc marching onward ondppware we
must constantly change, 4* to lit

pnd dieteripiped Why s'oak feeding

this I won and secure guard against it,
Aa to giving one the chance to ,iota
rascal otuvueea.oj. this kiisl are now
aa plentiful as the vilest heart could
\V.is)t. Indeed does not the chance lie
in (.1)0 heart.
It ip ygici to be slraovt equal to sla

woulfi not lessen his, rent oc wages and
he is the principle man who, makes

mas to Atofch to do this, antb tor a
large portipq, which he never.geta
anything. hfie he is at tliift lie
might be oujl inabiag something to
increase kW purse.
The advantages on the o'ber hand
ar<* numerous and abnost beyond
compulation. In the first place we
would prepare to take care of our
siock, and do so, have hcwlsr stock.
The convenience would be great, we
would have no h oots to let down
no gates to open in pa*dug in mit
out of | lactations. Again i>i Wt'iildj

to illgstreate I have a Urm of two
hundred and fifty acres and am satis-
Hod that fencing has a 1 ready
cost me one hundred dollars and now
am not pret oted from stock I haie
simply paid a hundred dollars for the
privilage of lotting my stock run in
dry lanes. I own two co.wh, two
calves, three pigs and will take fifty
dollars lor iku> lot. Nowi< it qensi
hie to pay a hundred dollars to fence
out fifty dollars worth of stock. Again
we have about five miles of fence, al
lowing that it takes ten feet upon
which to build, I lose 6 2 33 acres the
beat land on the plaee, if cultivated
would make two bales cotton this
I also denote lor the priviledge ot
letting my oowij rqn in the lauds.

If the pasturage outside of enclosed'
cufi iyqted land is worth more thru
the poqt tq build fences then it it
wise to have fences ; hut if the cost of
keeping up fences ia more than past
urage in dry lanes is worth then it
would indeed foa wise to have lin
stock iaty.
We could take the time required
in leDciog improve our farms make
fertilizers and many a farm in Butts
in a few years would present a beau
tiful appearance I can almost see it.
In the dis'anoe I see a brook on either

Now Mr. Editor I am no politician
I ask only one prjyi'edge, and that Is
to vole. I try to look to the
good to be accomplished for the coun
try thinking I will he bmiejiied in the
same proposition. I think when an
office of no jjttle importance is to be
filled, a man of sound mind, pure
heart, with unswerving adherence
to principle instead of policy is the
plan. There is no sense in contri
ving to do a foqlish thing. Cannot
ffgtta coqntv send a man who will go
qnd talk to Georgia's legis attire
something about farming interest.
The question of labor is now very

my opinion isthev are better qualifi
