The Carnesvillc Railroad, The Enter I’m hi: greets the peo¬ ple of Franklin county to-day and rejoices that it can say to them the , Carnesvillc railroad is assured. Since our last issue the citizens of the conn. ty have boon doing some good work, TltP Sub-Alliances that we have heard from have subscribed a 100 per cent more than we expected. This liber¬ ality speaks well for them, and it is an indpx to what may be expected of the order when j(s interest is understood- Thero are many sub-Alliances in the county that have not met yet, but the example has been net, and will be followed. Our Schools and Teachers. Tin: ExTEP.rnrsK of last week had (something to say about our school • am| teachers, for which we have re¬ ceived the commendation of several of the best teachers in the country. We said some tilings, however, that juay have appeared somewhat ex- Uavr.gant and need further expl.uia- tion. Vi e suggested that there should be houses built large, enough, to accommodate from two hundred to three hundred pupils, and that we should secure teachers that could n< t be had for less than two thousand or twenty-five hundred dollars per an- liUll!, \Ve did got mean for one man to teach that large number of pupils, licit Ii or diil we mean for one man to have that amount of money for his individual services, lmt that he should be paid that much to instruct as prin¬ cipal anil to employ teachers as as¬ sistants. The progressive citizens liyc in good houses, have good out¬ buildings, spend considerable money on their farms, gardens, orchards, etc, At least their progress so far as it goes shows in this way, and if it reached as far as ii should the school houses would bo good and Constructed for that pur¬ pose, instead of being occupied one year by a family of negroes and the ne.\t by a scrub teacher, A Female Convict Camp. A convict broom factory will bo es¬ tablished at Bolton, llorotoffuc, tho few female coii- \iets in the penitentiary havy been lodged in neparato buildings at the camps and have been employed in washing, mending the convicts’ clothes and such other work as was #uitubh) for them to do, In spite of considerable pants taken to keep the female convicts or good behavior, there has always been more trouble with them than with the men, amt a good many scandalous things have happened, in spite of all precau¬ tions, The Chattahoochee Brick Com¬ pany have, about thirty of tho fifty female convicts, and they propose to establish a separate camp for them, at Bolton, where they will not be in sight of a male convict, It. i s pro¬ posed to build a broom factory and employ these women exclusively in the manufacture. Colonel Towers will try to make such arrangements with the other lessees that all the fifty women in the penitentiavy can bo put to work in Rio broom factory. It will be light work, and the fifty women \\ ill make bryoiny enough to sweep the State of Georgia. Besides being employed under the most favorable for morality, they will bo taught a valuable trade, by which, when they serve their sentences, they will be able, to earn a comfortable living. This will be true, w hether they are subsequently employed hi factories or not, for there are blind men in Geor¬ gia making brooms for a living at their o\vn b.o.weJL—Constitution. — — » » ------- The shipment of ,\050 tons of- pfe ' iron from Sheffield, Ala,, ty Pitts¬ burg is to by followed very scyay by a similar shipment of 10,000 tons. This fact gives point to these words of the Philadelphir News; “To.pennxyl- vB, dry*aiding on coni, coke and iron ore, so largely as she does, the outlook for the future is ominous, but U eau- not be disguised. It is foolish to hide your head in the sand like ay ostrich, Go fight can be won if you reuse to t >4 your enemy. iv.a.cc n 1 ciegrapli. Hired Labor v», Tenants, We are of the opinion that there is too much land renting in this conn- try, We believe Loth the land own¬ er apd the tenant would do better If there was more hired labor; that is, we think the tenant ought to work i'or wages. Tho land'owner who has ,,5m cultivated by hired labor realizes more profit than the man who rents Ills lands. And the man who does not own land and works for wages gets along better and is nearer free from debt than those who work as tenants. 'J'he reasons for our position are jdain, and wo think incontrovertible. 'J ilt* most of the land-owners rent their l "" h 1V,,m year to year and ffn.mhie that there is no money n. .' rh « u ‘ I,ant w,,,1;s about six months in the year and says there is no money in renting. '1 here must he something woefully wrong if neither the land-owner nor the tenant makes anything. The lack of success is certainly to some extent due to the bad system of la¬ bor, and not to poor lauds and high pi ices paid for goods, as many claim, The most successful farmers are not bothered by cither of 'these two sup¬ posed poverty breeders. We want to ask, is a man successful in any bus¬ iness that does net command his clone attention, or that i; not intelli¬ gently superintended by one paid for that business? Of course not. IIow then can a man make a success of tanning who rents his lands, stands ccurity for supplies for tenants, and waits .for the seasons to bring him bountiful returns? And then on the oilier hand, how can the tenant make a success and work only half of his time, while his expenses are eating on him and his landlord all the time? The reason that manufacturing and other pursuits pay better than farm¬ ing is because they are can led on bv hired labor and are better superin¬ tended. Hands work more and are belter paid. It U a great mistake the tenant makes in thinking that renting gives him more independanco, as the way it is carried on always keeps him dependant. The tenant is idle more than any poor man ought to be. lie cannot overcome his pov¬ erty honestly unless he is furnished work; and as idleness breeds evil it would he much better for him from a moral standpoint if he was furnished work. We do not claim to know much about farming, and what we write is from limited observation and reflection. But this observation and reflection convince us that if a man owns land he must give it sound bus¬ iness attention, or it will sink him money, and that the man without land or money cannot hope to suc¬ ceed renting and only working half of his time. We would be glad to have the views of tlie most success- ful farmers in the county on the sub- jeet, and the columns of Tim Ex- tkiummsi: arc open for such views, believing that, an intelligent discus¬ sion of the matter will be of much benefit. It: U announced lhat Mr. Hoke Smith, a prominent Atlanta lawyer and pe.'iderit of the Journal Publish¬ ing Company, will take au active part in the gubernatorial campaign, not as a candidate or as the advocate of any candidate, but for tbc purpose of ag¬ itating the question of railroad influ¬ ence in state politics. Sir. Smith will begin his campaigh at Decatur to¬ morrow, and he proposes to speak in all parts of the state.—-Macon Tele¬ graph, Kentucky maintains her pre-emi¬ nence as the home of the race-horse, Of the 8.6*} stake races i nn in this country last year Kentucky bred horses won 1S:>.

ROYSTON AND ELBERTON Taken in By an Enterprise Repre¬ sentative. Tuesday morning, February LStli, aeeompuiiied by Mr. .1, A. Manley, I left for the above named towns.

They know nothing but attention and kind words for the commercial touris and their friends. Mr. Manley, being bound for the Gate City, lefr on an early train, and left me in the hands of the kind people of Royston. It is only justice to them to say we have never had tho pleasure of meeting a more genial, warm-hearted people than they. Tho first man we fell in with was the popular furniture man, W. F. Cunningham, who carries a full line of all grades of furniture, coffins of all sizes and prices, ranging from $n,00 to voO.OO. One visiting his place of business will not only find a good line of furniture, but will find a pleasant gentleman. .1. .r. BOND.

Rev. J. J. is.pastor of the Baptist church, Rev. Ford McCrary has care of .Methodist church. Both are and devoted instructors. ROYSTON IHUII SCHOOL. The school is in care of l’rof. ,T. Neese. The academy has been enlarged to accommodate already largo attendance, Neese, while yet a young man, lias gained quite a inence as an educator. He is ably assisted by Miss Julia Wilder, is thoroughly competent to fulfil position with satisfaction to the pa¬ trons of the school and honor to her¬ self. FRANK M,COOK, While iu Royston wo had the pleasure of mooting Frank M. Cook, the highly appreciated correspondent of The Enterprise, While only a youth, he has manly ways, and we predict for him a bright future. B. Cl RltV, Bedford carries a full line of con- fcction.erios, consisting of can goods, tobaccos, etc., and is doing an honor to his race. He says the. white peo¬ ple of Royston has been the best friends be ever had, and have made pp-,, w p,,t ] w p On to the Oranito City. My mission having been fulfilled in Royston, on Wednesday morning we boarded the accommodation train and by noon we were in the Granite City, whore we were met by a repre¬ sentative of the Campbell House, and was soon served with an elegant re. past, and made to feel at homo by the kindest shown us by the hostess, We can heartily recommend the Campbell House for lirst-elnss ac¬ commodations. Owing to my short stay I did not have the pleasure of meeting many of the business men of Elbert on. Among those whom 1 met were Mike Herndon, of the firm of Tabor & Herndon; T. M. Swift, of the firm of Swift, Wilcox it Braswell; .Mack Arnold; 1’. J. Puckett, toomb,stone dealer, etc.; W. C. Pressley, harness and saddles; Dr. Carr, the popular druggist, and J. P.

Auld & Son manufacture buggies, wagons, and do a first-class business, and are widely known for their fair and honest dealing. Last, but by no means least, we had the pleasure of meeting our ge¬ nial friend, Mr. W. P. Clark, junior member of the firm cf Clark & Ad¬ ams. The firm is one that Elbcrton is proud of, and well it might he, for in our opinion Mr. Clark is a natural genius, and an honorable and high- toned gentleman, lie has recently invented a plow that is bound to be a success. It took the blue ribbon at the Atlanta exposition. He has also invented, a cotton chopper, and we predict for it a wide reputation in the near future, lie has three more patent; in the office yet to hear We returned to the Camnbell House, and after a pleasant sleep un¬ til I a. m., when we boarded the to return heme. At Bowersville joined Mr. Manley, and after a hours ride we landed safely in villc, and felt that our trip had been in vain, and that fate had kindly with us. J. 31. C. Smile Producers.
