Tit* Cwnesville Railroad.
We wish to assure our readers that
when they hear men speaking in a
doubting manner as regards the com¬
pletion of the Carncsville railroad
ibal such men arc either enemies to
the road or they are not Informed on
the matter. The only question that
is bothering (hose who are thoroughly
acquainted with the situation is. how
long until we get it? We do not
know how long, but we give it as our
opinion that the. road will 1/c finished
hi less than fifteen months. There
is only a small amount of money to
be raised. This amount will be got¬
ten up soon. Then contracts will be
let and work will begin, and the day
we get the grading and eross-tieiug
done the Richmond and Danville
Company will equip it with iron anil
rolling stock. Then the iron horse
with panting sides and walling r.os-
trils will rush into ('arnesville at
lightning speed and giganticly sur¬
vey the wonderful improvements that
are to he made in honor oi In’s com¬
ing. If our head and heart are not
deceived there i.- an atispieimw day
in store for (V.vnr-i ille and Franklin
in the near future.
Our Two Leading Industries,
The Southern monopoly of cotton
production speaks for itself.
Concerning our manufacture of the
staple, a eontewpoiar.v remarks that
the old mills were flourishing, and
last year eight new ones were started
in Smith Carolina, while mills costing
from ft;>00,0tt0 down to (1200,000 will
l*e started in a few weeks at- Mobile,
Denison, Texas, and Aberdeen, Mis¬
sissippi.
The production and manufacture
of iron show a wonderful record.
The South muv yields about, one-
fourtli of the total product oi the pig
iron of the country.
With these two great industries
marching on in the South, we arc en¬
tering tile evil el town and city build¬
ing. Manufacturing builds up large
cities, mid multiplies markets for
fanners. Thus, directly and indi¬
rectly, (he two great * lasses of opr
people, the artisans and the farmers,
earu>t fad to reap a profit out of tho
factory, furnace and field, X«coun¬
try ever had a brighter outlook. —
Constitution.
John D. Rockafetlcr's wealth is es¬
timated ai itlfib,000,(MIO.

ing tube Gowvvor of Georgia before.
The man will be lucky who gets

If you want any near cuts in par¬
liamentary laws von should juggle
with Hon. Tom Reed.
There are ..u\y a few men as yet
who have announced that they “were
in the hands of their friends,”
1 here are many honest people h 1
Georgia that would like to steal
political stale for a short white.
If 31r, Wanamakcr wants to soil
his white bargains in the South he
had better wash his black hands.
Gen, Phil Cook has been appointed
to the office of Secretary of State.
Secretary Barnett approved the ap¬
pointment before bis death.
The address fo tile Democrats sent
out from Gong- ass by
Carfisfo in regard to the partisan nil-
ings of the presotit speaker is
impartial and unanswerable,
“Buck” we think is a very appro¬
priate name for the Republican leader
in Georgia politics, and predict that
his long ears will hang beautifully
law homre the “lio«ncL‘’ are done
with him.
Dick Ilawes has made a confession
ami says John Wyly killed his wife
and two children, and that he paid
Y>' vly two hundred dollars to do the
deed. The truthfulness of the eon-
fessiup is doubted.
Orifort o( f>»orgI& tkt- Coming
Orator,
Georgia should Is* promt of the or.
ators she has produced. Only a few
days ago the sad news was soul
abroad over the Fulled States that
the young orator, on whom the eyes
of the world were turned, was dead.
The unexpected news sent a thrill of
sorrow through the hearts of every
true Southerner, yea, not only there,
hut from Boston to Maine his death
was regretted, by leading statesmen,
equally as much as by us. Never
has a Southern man U-eu applauded,
by both North and South, as has Mr,
Grady, Ilis short career has placed
him at the head of the list of Ameri¬
can orators. It is said that there are
only about eight in the whole history
of the world who are agreed upon by
scholars as being entitled to the de¬
gree of an orator —perfect orator.
Among this small number Georgia is
represented by the lion. 15. II. Hill,
Of Mr. Hill Georgia is and should be
proud. In him alone did Mr. Blaine
find an equal ami a champion. lie
was compelled to meet face to face
this sarcastic Georgian and cower be¬
neath the lush of bis oratorical
tongue. Had it not been for Hill,
Blaine would have had a walk-over
in the Senate, and m> doubt to-day
would ha ve Insert considered the great¬
est orator of America. So we find
Benjamin 11. Hill loading the list of
America's natural orators. Mr. Grady
is believed by many who knew them
both to be equal m every respect to
*
Mr. Hill ns an orator.
Again "of V,e have Bob Toombs, the
lion the South, whose voice
more to arouse the people of the ( 'on-1
federaey to immediate and determ¬
ined action than any other cause that
can be mentioned. To him in part
is charged the bloody war. 'Ilis
was so great that the orators
of the day were afraid to meet him
o,« the stump. Even when in college
at the Fniversify of Georgia he spoke
impromptu and held his audience
sp-ell-bomid for hours.
There is another, with not so much
fame, but by no means to be forgot¬
ten. We refer to A. II, Stephens,
(he statesman of tho South. There
are others of less note, yet famous,
whom we have not space to mention,
Mr. Grady is dead, hut our supply
of orators is not entirely g" m ‘- We
yet have the coining orator of the
South in the person of John Temple
Graves. The mantle of Grady has
fallen on this noble Georgian. Any
one who had heard the silver-tongued
orator was not surprised when they
read of the wonderful power he ex¬
erted over his audience in bis memo¬
rial ‘| address at Rome not many days
since. If is said that, the audience
wept as if Grady had been a dead
mother, and that the people rose from
their seats and leaned forward, with
tears trickling down their cheeks,
eager to catch every word that fell
from his lips. To this noble Geor¬
gian the eyes of the South are turned
with full confidence that Georgia will
ladd f another name to the small list of
orators, and that the South will have
, another leader to strike swords with
Ingalls and other Northern dema¬
gogues. Though there was very little
said about the speech of Mr. Grieves
at last commencement at the Fni-
vvrf.ity of Georgia, it was acknowl¬
edged to be thc finest oration deliv¬
ered there since the days of Hill and
Toombs.
The time has come for a Gladstone
to rise in the South and solve the no-
j gro problem, and one who is able to
j stand in the Congressional hails and
meet the unprincipled charges made
against the > s outh with lire and force,
1 with honor to himself and credit to
the South, limy long, oh! how long
will Georgia be represented bv old,
yet honorable men, wholly unable to
cope with tho keen and cutting in-
j Collect of Northern Senators ?

A table that belongs to the late
William Shakespeare has just been
discovered at Stratford-on-Avon. It
seems that John \Y heeler, aged -SO,
late an inmate of the Warwick Union,
w ho at one time irreverently cut his
initials on the “sacred relic,” h»s de-
posed on oath before a justice of the
peace that it was long the property
i of his family and known among them,
i at least, as “Shakespeare’s table,”and
that he remembered hearing his grand
mother say that she pueliased it at a
