A telegram announces the safe
KrrTval of Hon. T. C, Dickinson,
financial agent of the Black Dia
mond Railway System, in New
York last Saturday,as stated in the
News he would. Mr. Dickinson
comes prepared to arrange every
detail of the financing of the road
on this side of the water, ju3t as the
capitalists want the papers fixed.
Nothing unreasonable is asked and
no trouble will be encountered in
arranging matters satisfactorily.
During the absence of Mr. Dicx-
inson from London and while he is
in this country waiting for the sur
veys in the South to be finished,
Sir Thomas Tancreed in in Alaska
on another inspection trip. It will
be remembered that Sir Thomas in
spected the line of railroad recent
ly built in AlasKa. It is a short
extension of this same line he is
now inspecting.—Dover News.
. Apples And Oftbtages.
To the editor of The Journal:
Among the many gratifying evi
dences of' present and prospective
prosperity in the south, it is suc
cessful agitation of the cultivation
of diversified crops, a condition
which suggests the placing of the
following reminiscences before your
readers i
Away bock in the 80s, when the
writer was a clerk in Athens, there
used to come from Habersham and
Rabun counties m Georgia, and
Buncombee county in North Caro
lina, the old time road wagons of
60 bushels capacity, drawn by four
mules, loaded with apples, cab
bages or potatoes, or with some ot
each, which found ready sale at
good prices, Their return freight
was plantation supplies (largely
of iron and salt), und general mer
chandise.
The apples were generally of
lare size and excellent quolitY, not
surpassed by any product in the
country, the potatoes equal in ever-
respect to any on the market
notvadavs, while the large, green-
leaved, solid head cabbages, really
famous in their day, made the
mouths of consumers water on
sight, und would do so today.
But long hauls by wagons over
the rough mountain roads caused
the products, especially the apples,
to get so bruised by the jolting as
to permuturely decay. The build
ing of railways enabled northern
growers of these bulky products to
ship them, particularly apples, »e-
All exeept eleven of the rights of
way for the Black Diamond have
been secured in this county and the
agents are now working in Scott
The rights have been secured in
that county nearly to Sadieville
and farmers a r e falling rapidlv in
line, It is Understood .that the
money is ready and the bouds will
be floated as soon as a good per
centage of the rights have been se
cured. All of that work has been
finished south of the Tennessee line
and a considerable part has also
been done m Kentucky. Tbe ter
ritory yet to be worked is between
Sharpsburg, Ky. f and the Tennes
she line and part of the counties on
the northern end of the lines, in
cluding portions of Ohio and Indi
ana.—Cynthaniana Log Cabin.
We have never seen a more fa
vored section in anycotintry than
here. To-day. there stands corn all
over the mountain sideB, where it
is in cultivation, over your head
and as thicK as it usually grows in
the bottom lands. There is the
best inducement to offer the emi
grant we ever saw in any section
or country. Cheap lands, so high
ly productive a9 the lands here, are
not found in any other section
where we have been, and we
doubt if there are better opportu
* Pities for the man of moderate
means in the United States. Many
intall tracts of land have not onlY
the most productive soil, but it has
the Sliest water that the earth can
product It has a natural range
fomattlfr, IHiep and .bogs, and has
a natural Uhonqy product—the
chhatmft, *
Therto is s#tfb6]y a lot of land
in' Rabun county that does not
contain a beautiful natural park,
W%.«ag emphatically we never saw
a Muffed sq favored naturally and
we Shall soon see an ingress of peo-
pfo'kere to help ut enjoy this high
ly favored sectiek.
UPPER TllER.
We have had plenty of-rain in this see*
tlon and crops are looking fine.
There wad' a large attendance at
preaching at Bethel Sunday. The church
was badly crowded.
Mr. Jesse W. Green and family of
TumerviUe. accompanied by his daugh
ter, Mn. Carrie Ayers,of Atlanta,
passed by Monday on return to their
homes.
We are glad to leant that D.P La-
count's children»are getting better,
Mr, Albert Lovell is having some nice
work done on his dwelling house by the
noted carpenter, Mr. George Donald
son.
Benton Cannon made atrip to Turner*
ville Monday.
Mr. Kimsey Pitts and wife visited
the Polly house last Saturday and Sun
day.
We are informed that Mr. Franklin,
from Habersham, who taught a singing
convention at Liberty last summer, is
contemplating teaching a singing school
Bethel in a week or two. Some good
singers are much needed here.
We wonder What young man has gone
to see his best girl, who lives two and
one half miles from Clayton, every Sun
day this summer and last Sunday she
failed to tain to him because she was not
there. He says he has a crop of every
thing planted but goobers and he ex
pects to plant a crop of them this fall.

lected and barreled, so that they
reached the consumer iri better con
dition at not far from the same
cost. ThUs'our southern grown
products were crowded from the
market.
But now the dorjdftiolis
changed; railways' 'penetrate and
ramify the Bine Ridjge and Pied
mont portions ofGeorgia', Tennes
see. the Carolina* and tlife Virgin
ias, and there is no good reason
why the farmers of that mountain
and valley region-should not only
regain and'retain 1 , their lost ground
and market for thejprodnctions rn-
ferred to, but defy competition in
wool-growing, dairying and cattle
raising.
The times are propitious und
auspicious. Why don’t they
start ?
Of potatoes, three counties in
Maine, (Avoostook, Penobscot and
Oxford) produced, according
the census of 1890, over 8,480,000
bushels, which M 60 per cent of
Ihe entire product of Georgia: three,
fourths of that of Kentucky, and
largely more than the product of
either West Virginia, Tennessee or
ths Carolinas,
Of upples Georgia produced
2, 118,000 bushels, while North
Carolina produced 7,591,000 bush
els; Virginia 8,891,000 bushels
Kentucky 10.6000,000; Michigan
18,154,000 bushels { and Ohio 18,
790,000 bushels. Georgia can and
should equal Ohio or Michigan in
quantity and quality and supply
and control her home markets
Large orchards of judiciously se-
lected varieties (particularly win.
ter keeping) could be marketed
and bring money to the farmer ev.
ery month in the year.
