From the Tribune, of Rome. The last four months have re CO j.<led a steady and notable de e iine of the Olive bill in popular approval. The people and their newspa pers have come to a better standing of tlie Olive bill and of the measure and politics against which it is aimed, and they are speaking out with remarkable vigor and growing unanimity in opposition to this unwise and un¬ desirable measure. Several of the largest and most vigorous farmers alliances in Georgia have already drawn up p ro tests against the passage of the an(1 urg . e j their immediate representatives to vote against it. A number of the Georgia newspa¬ pers that were its advocates last year, are now its steady oppo¬ nents, and among others, the Ath¬ ens Banner, an able and incorrup¬ tible tribune of the people, wheels into line of opposition to the Olive bill, and says that it is “but a measure to encourage litigation for the hungry and poverty strick¬ en lawyers of our -State.” There ig a greal f„t, ire dawning ^ ^ farmi classe8 of the gouth TJi0 count is at last * wakin (() the neceRsity of en . courag j ng agriculture.

In this great eon summation there is no factor more vital 1o 1 iicW^ their interest prosperity and more than necessary to the development of railroad lines and systems that are amply in equipment and in service to han¬ dle their products and to give them cheap rates to the markets of the world. It is the distinct resultant of (ho Olive bill to thwart and cripple the railroad development of Geor gia. Already one railroad con tracte<1 f or an( j graded, ami about jo foe equipped by a syndicate of norlliern ca]>italists, lias been a ) )aiJ( ] one( j as a s tood because of this hostile ed in the Oliye bill. T lie case the Eden and Americas railroad furnishes a fair illustration of the certain effect of the successful Olive bill upon other railroad de velopmenfs ot the future. The people of this country want rail roads, the farming classes want railroads more than any other sec ion or element of our population, But if the legislature in session is to pass the Olive bill or any kin dred measure that will frighten capitalist and deter them from in vesting their surplus millions in a f w hose lawmakers are op posed ; to them, we mav set , it .. down , H8 a definite and cert an fact that railroad building in Georgia will » d’etriy end. and that there will be a stagnation in all the en.erpn*,, of thi, kin.l which we are looking with -o much «t Send in your orders for job work, CORRESPONDENCE.

He’s a Baptist though, and be lievos that Cod infinitely rather “all would turn and live " Dr. Calhoun, of Atlanta, says the head trouble of W. B.
