THE TRIBUNE. DEVOTED TO THE INTEREST OF RABUN COUNTY AND NORTH EAST GEORGIA. VOL. II, CLAYTON, RABUN CO., GA* THURSDAY. JULY 27. 1899. NO. 27. A NEW RAILROAD To Ron From Knoxville To Port Royal. The North Georgia Railroad Company, which was incorporated in 1890,is about, to taxe a new lease ot lite, change its name and organ ize a system of lines connecting Knoxville, Tenn.. with- Port Roy al , S.C. An] anicndmcnt. for the charter was filed in the office of the secretary of state yesterday morn ing. and yesterday afternoon the certified copies of the amendments were prepared and ready to bo forwarded to the directors. TI16 new company will be known as the Ohio, Knoxville and Port Royal Railway Company and one of the objects ot the organization will be to connect Columbus, -O. , with Porr. Royal and the south At lantic seaboard. Another of the amendments to the charter is that the company be allowed to build and operate steamboats. In all probability u line will be organized to connect AugustH. Savannah and other important towns accessible with Port Royal. It is understood that there is con sideruble money behind the pro posed establishment of this trunk line from Columbus to Port Royal, and U is. thought .that, English cap- iitist arc largely interested in the deal. Tliis has not been given out on uutlioritv, but Ihe fact that duplicates of the certificates of u- lnendments will be forwarded to England lend color to this infer ence. It is thought that the new line, which will doubtless cross several of the counties in the northern part of the state, will be a large factor in the development of the natural resources fn that section. Th» petitioners nsk that no lim itation be placed on the capital stock, and that the directors of the coinpi riy be permitted to issue such stock as they deem advisable. It is also asked that the charter continue for a term of eighty years from December 22. 1800, the date of thoorignnl incorporation. I.T.. Trioblc, secretary of the board of directors of the North Georgia Railway Company, culled at the department of the secretary ot state yesterday morning to file the petition for the amendments, but declined to give out any fur ther information regurding the plans and purposes of the new road other than that contained in the petition for amendments. It is thought that tho proposed consolidation of several important lines has been under consideration for some time past, and that at present plans are almost in definent shape for the deal. At a meeting of the stockholders of the North Georgian Railway Company, held on the 18th it was unanimously de cided to change the name of the company for the purpose of allow ing a larger scope for the opera tions. , s Foraunmber of years past ef forts have been made to make Port Royal one of tbc most important coast towns, from a commercial standpoint, in the south. The har bor is one of the deepest apd finest in the country and'is well adapted for shipping of all kinds. ✓ The unusual depth of the harbor permits vessels of largo draught to enter, and this is one the points in its favor. With the construction of- railway piers into the harbor the vessels could be unloaded with out difficulty and at small expqnsc. The fuct that the new company intends centering its interests mainly about Port Royal would seem to indicate that great ihiprov- ments are contemplated in that vi cinity in-tlie neur future. It may be that a line of steamers will be established between Port Royal and Liverpool or some other im portant foreign port. The news ot this venture will doubtless conic us a surprise to many who have not been uwnre that any such deul was contemplat ed. It is not known when active op erations will begin, but it is highly probable that preparations will be made Ht an early date, The president of tho North Gcor gia Railway Company is P. K. Me Cully and the following were named as incorporators at the time charter was granted in 1890: C.D. Smith William Scruggs, John McI‘V.1, Marx A. Hardin, W. C. Candler, W.J, Kirx. William R, McCon nell. E, B. Murray. W. F. Parker, A. Truiuerman, J. E. Brazenly, P, K,.McCuHy and A.

You hadn’t ought to blame a man for tilings he hasn’t done, For books he hasn’t written or for fights lie hasn’t won. The waters may look placid on the surface all aroun’,^ An’ yet there niaY be und/ertow a- keepin’ of him down. Since the days of and Eve Adam. when tbc fight of life began. It ain’t bocn safe, my brethen, for to lightly judge a man. He inuy be try in* faithful for to make bis life a go, And yet his legs got tangled in the trench’runs undertow. He may not lack in learnin’ and he may not want for brains, He mav be always workm’ with the patientist of pains, And|yetgo unrewarded; un’, my friends, how can we know What heights he'might a-climbed to, but for the undertow. Yon'va heard the Yankee stoiy of the hen’s nest with a hole, An how she hen kep’ lay in’ eggs with all her might an’ soul Yet never got a settin’, nor a sin gle egg? I trow 1 hat hen was simply kickin’ *gin a hidden undertow. There’s holes in Jots of hen’s nests, an* you’ve got to peep below To see the eggs a-rollin* where they hadn’t ought to go. Don’t blame a man for failin’ to achieve a laurel crown Until you’re sure" the undertow ain’t draggiu’of him down,— Iu Pawwy Maoasihb.

About two years ago a iff whose income from his office is many thousands of dollars a year, but we apprehend the people ex- poet something besides pliant ac- quiscence in the demands of a small mob. They will expect linn to do something to show for his salary and the guardianship of his very important trust, which involves the lives of men who are yet con victed of no crime. You mav say you would have done the same thing if you had been the sheriff’s place. But unless you intend to do more more you should not wisli to be sheriff, A sheriff should re gard for something more than the safety of his own person. What is he there for? What is ho to do in return for his coveted salary? A soldier’s business is to be shot, and that is whut he should calculate on wnan.he enlists. Those who first reached the jail after the tragedy found the sheriff lently and sweating- profusely. And to huve a man turned over to him, and assume the responsi bility of imprisoning him, without knowing whether the law demand ed his imprisonment—without a commitment, or a warrant, or any thing—without Knowing his pre tended guards—seems to ua very strange proceedings indeed. It seems to us to have written all ov er it and all through it the marks of most culpable and most flag rant carelessness. Another thing -which the sheriff should have done and which he did Hot do was to immediately notify Bud Smith, chief of police, who has a pack of bloodhounds who is a lightning calculator in catching criminals, The chief of police was allowed to sleep until next morning, unconscious of the awful situation. Had he been immedi ately notified we believe that more than one of the slayers of Smith would before now have been land ed in the steel cage at the jail. From the ease, smoothness and facility with which the work was done, it is almost certain that ever ything worked out just us the mob had planned it. It was part of the plana that Smith was in be shot through the bars of the cell. They did not intend to enter the cell. They did not want the cell keys, for they could not have unlocked the doors in less time than ten min utes, if at all, and they did not wish to stay at the jail that long. No* they didn’t want the cell Keys. And they probably knew that Hu bert Mnndy, the jailer, and his brother wore up town . drinking beer with a number of kindred spir its and the jailor doubtless had tbe cell keys in hia pockets. traveling salesman kindly gave me a email bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem cdy. Much to my surprise and delight its effects were immediate. Whenever I felt symptoms of the disease I would fortify myself a* gainst the attack with a few doses of this valuable remedy. The re sult has been very satisfactory and almost complete relief from the af fliction.” For sale by J. L. Ham by. facd today is that they can go injo tliefjail and kill a prisoner. Not with the same old ruse, of course, but to ttie ingenuity and nerve ot such men there is end to ruses. . Giff Honde, ‘ > W'WWM Tallulah Falls, Ga. Dear sir: There will be fully 200 del egates to the meeting of this soci ety at Tallulah, Aug. 2nd and 3rd, possibly the number will go to 225, a number of ladies in the delega tion, A large proportion of the members wish to remain a few days at the Falls after the conven tion adjourns. I want to huve some mountain trout fishing, and understand some cati be taken not very far from the Falls, will you kindlv advise me a* to this? For years past 1 have fished in western N.C., but have never tried the mountain of Oa. If you can put 111c in the way of some good fishing or refer me to anyone who is posted on the subject I will be very gratcfhj. ,/ For sessions of the society we will need a hall or room with a seating capacity of 200 to 260 and will need seats or chairs for that number of people, will also need two tables or desks, as there will be night, sessions will want lights, also need a room of vacant stare in which the fruit, vegetables and otiici things cuii be displayed. It being a poof fruit year there will be not more than 5OO plates of frnit exhibited, For displaying these will need tables, inch plank mounted on saw horses will be the most convenient thing we could use. Can we hire such at the Falls? I The society will send up a rep resentative, Mr, Jas. Summers, July 3lst. who will make all ar rangements as to halls for the meetings and exhibits.
