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. Messrs Jno. and .Will McKay were up from the Falls visiting their folks Sunday. Orilaarfs Cifetumi. 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.
