Col. William Wi. Wadley.
The lateness of the hour at which we
received the announcement of the sud
den death of Col. William M. Wadley
Thursday night, prevented the prepara
tion of anything more than the brief and
hurriedly written tribute to his sterling
worth, which appeared in these columns
yesterday morning. Wc therefore pre
sent to-riay an extended sketch of his
life and successful career, more in ac
cordance with his well 'e erved fame
and acknowledged merit.
Col. Wadley was, we believe, born
in New Hampshire, and came to
Georgia with the force brought out by
the General Government to assist in
the construction of Fort Pulaski. It is
TcTalVroTfiTrTrniat wTtffe engaged upon
this work lie found a small blacksmith
shop in his way. Without waiting for
permission, he immediately demol
ished the building in order that lie
might have room in which to complete
tlie work entrusted to him in a proper
manner, after which lie set to and soon
completed another shop upon the site
of the old one. It was thought at the !
tune that he would receive a rebuke
from the engineer In charge of the work
for his temerity. To tlie surprise of
all, however, Mr. Wadley received
commendation for what he had done,
because of the energy and appreciation
of the situation which lie displayed.
This is a trifling incident, but it serves
to strikingly illustrate the nerve, will
power and sagacity of the man—three
qualities which elevated him to his
high position in after life.
After finishing his work at Fort Pu
laski, Mr. Wadley opened a small
blacksmith shop on tlie canal, in this
city, where he carried on for some
time his trade. But tlie native qualities
of such a man were too strong for him
to be Tong kept in t he obscurity <d such
a life. The opportunity for entering
the service of the Central Railroad as
contractor soon presented itself, and
he was prompt to avail himself of it.
In this line of business lie, among
other work, built the first bridge over
the Oconee river. It was while carrying
out his contract for this work that the
financial troubles of ”37 occurred, and
the Board of Directors passed a resolu
tion to pay off their contracts in the
bills of the Central Bank of Georgia,
then at a heavy discount, the result of
which was that Mr. Wadley sustained
a serious loss. lie completed his
contract, however, but it took him
several years to recover from the losses
he thus sustained.
In these early days of railroads it
was customary to let out contracts for
keeping the tracks and roadways in
good condition, and Mr. Wadley
secured one of these contracts.
Defective superstructures and the old
flat rails then in vogue wore the < auscs
of many accidents, trains sometimes
becoming detained, and days would
elapse before traffic could be resumed.
Young Wadley’s energy soon made
itself felt all along the line, and when
ever mishaps occurred, whether within
his jurisdiction or not, lie was sent for.
and his promptness, energy and
mechanical skill were mainly relied on
to set matters aright. This gave him
a reputation that he never lost, and he
rapidly rose in the estimation and
regard of his employers. He was the
first to call attention to the loose wav
of attending to such an important item
iu railroad management, and he was
soon offered the post as first supervisor
of the line. From this lie speedily ad
vanced from one post to another until
he became Superintendent of the road.
It was also through his influence
that the first steam saw mill was
erected on the line of the road, by which
it could be supplied with necessary
lumber at a less cost than by the old
plan of hewing it out or sawing it by
hand. This innovation raised a great
hue and cry against him—as many
other of liis greater and far-seeing
projects have done in later days—as it
was claimed that he would ruin all the
woodcutters. llis ideasyereadopted,
however, and while the wood cutters
were not ruined, the road was im
mensely benefited. By this time Mr.
Wadley’s fame as a manager had
spread over the State, and he was
invited by Governor Howell Cobb to
take the Superintendency of tlie
Western and Atlantic (State) Railroad.
Here his practical sense suggested
many improvouirnts.and ie introduced
a radical change in its management
innovations which occasioned an out
cry from a!! sides, and which led to his
resignation. The wisdom of his policy
in taking the road out of the control
of politicians ha% however, been fullv
proven by the success it has achieved
in the hands of the present lessees,
since, freed from everything like the
dictation of office hunters and their
friends, it has made money both for
the Slate and for its managers.
After a brief respite from his labors.
Colonel Wadley was. like Cincinnalus,
■called from his retirement to active
service in the work he loved, and a3
Superintendent of the Central, which
position he was tendered and accepted,
he pushed that then young enterprise
to a partial fulfillment of its great
destiny. Under his supcrintcndenc}*
the influence of the Central was given
to tire completion of other connecting
roads, a-.id before he left it again he
had the satisfaction of seeing the whole
system of Georgia railroad working
together, not always in perfect
harmony, it is true, but still sufficiently
s<j to demonstrate what could be done.
Tt was under his management that the
ejfttensive machine shops and ware
houses of the company were built,
which are so perfect in all their appoint
ments that only a yoar since a great
railroad man expressed astonishment
to’know that they had been constructed
nearly a quarter of a century ago, they
being even now far in advance, in
•convenience and general arrangement
to Similar buildings owned by The most
important railroads in 1 his country.
In 1859 Colonel Wadley resigned
liis Bnpcrintendency of the Central to
accept the Presidency of the Vicksburg
and Shreveport Railroad. Into this
great enterprise he embarked all liis
capital and that of many of his friends.
Numbers of young men left the rail
roads of Georgia to follow him, and
in his new quarters lie was surrounded
by the best railroad ability of this
State—then, as now, the Umpire State
of the South. This railroad was rapidly
developing, when the war between the
States began, and it soon, by reason
of the capture of New Orleans, and
the operations along the Mississippi
river, came to a standstill, and with
the disastrous ending of the war, was
almost bankrupted. Of late years,
however, this important enterprise, as
part of the through route to the West,
has been rehabilitated, and its original
proprietors have, we believe, recovered
a portion of their losses.
During the war Mr. Wadley was ap
po i a ted Superintendent of the Hail road
Service of the Confederate States, with
the rank of Colonel, lie at once brought
to bear upon this highly responsible
work the same practical sense that lie
always exhibited. In his attempt to
raise the service to the highest, possible
degree of excellence he came iu contact
with the speculators in the necessities
of the people, who, it will be remem
bered, abounded during that period of
our history, and who, through position
and influence, enjoyed control of touch
of the meagre facilities of the Southern
railway lines, lie made a brave fight
against all such, but finding that he
was powerless to arrest the existing
evils, resigned, and the close of the
war found him in Louisiana looking
after the debris of liis fortune. In his
far-away Georgia home, however, he
was not forgotten. Trouble had come
upon the Central Railroad, on the line
between Macon, Augusta and Sa
vannah, for its bridges had been
burned, its rails had been bent by the
enemy in a thousand shapes, its depots
were destroyed, and its ruin was
general. The noble Cinder had died
almost of a broken heart, and the
directory, in looking about for the man
to bring order out of chaos, cast their
eyes upon Mr. Wadley. A special
messenger was sent after him, request
ing liis return to Savannah to take
charge of tlie line. He came, and
was elected President. His great
administsative power soon had the
right men in the right places, and
capitalists hastened to tender him all
the means necessary to at once rebuild
the road. In consequence the people
of Georgia soon had the satisfaction
of seeing this great artery rehabili
tated, and, with its construction,
doing its work towards the restoration
t)f good order and business prosperity
in the State. What has been accom
plished since then wc all know, liis
great foresight peered into the future,
and as far back as ten years ago he
expressed the opinion that the then
system of railroads was only a make
shift, and that the time had come when
a railroad, to pay, must have through
connections, and should naturally be
all under one management; that lines
of one hundred to two hundred miles
would not pay, for the day for local
interests and local prejudices had
passed. Nor was his tiDi 1 ity confined
exclusively to railroad management.
His broad mind conceived the idea of
establishing a line of ocean steamers
which would place Savannah and the
Central Raßroad in direct and easy
communication with tlie great trade
centres of both East and West. Con
vinced of the feasibility of this scheme
he, as usual, acted upon it w ith resolu
tion, and time has fully vindicated his
wisdom.
Besides his public enterprises he
managed to find time to devote to
home and domestic pleasures, and it
was his greatest delight to spend a day
or two each week, when his arduous
duties would permit, at his fine farm
at Bolingbroke. He also found leisure
to attend to the claims of charity, and
was, for many years, the able head of
the Bethesda Orphan House near this
city.
Mr. Wadley always disclaimed
being what is known as a financier,
but he was, nevertheless, eminently
entitled to that often misunderstood
title, for he in fact possessed, to a
greater degree than most men, financial
abilities of high order. It was true
that liis great truthfulness and honesty
both in word and deed were mistaken
for lack of such ability by those who
consider cunning and deceit as
necessary to the successful financier.
To him these hitter attributes wore
unknown, blit his unswerving integrity
gave to those who entrusted their
means to his management at all times
unbounded confidence in him. The
great interest., he controlled were not
regarded by him as speculative
ventures, but as sacred trusts, to tlie
proper guardianship of which lie had
staked liis reputation and his hoiw.
His grand combination of the railroad
system of the .State not only redounded
to tlie benefit of the Central Railroad
andTtnrStJite tif-Gcorgia. hnrtt stands
to day a monument, both to liis sa
gacity and his unswerving honesty.
It would take column after column
of type to give the history of what he
has done within the last few years
towards the development of those great
public benefactors, the railroads of the
South, the labor and responsibility
entailed by which was doubtless one
of tlie causes of his sudden and com
paratively early demise. Truly, in
his death a great man has fallen. He
was made in no ordinary mould. By
nature he ranked with men of the type
of Washington, Jackson and Lee, for
he was as truthful and unflinching in
duty as the first; firm and brave in his
convictions as old Hickory; kind,
pure and lovable to those who knew
him as the dead chieftain of the lost
cause. In other fields but that of the
head of a railroad which for many
years was but a local line, he would
have been a leader among men, and
would long since have been known by
and commanded the respect of all.
Georgia has in him lost one of her
greatest sons, who, despite tlie shafts
which envy, malice and uneharitablc
ness always hurl at the man who rises
by hisown exertions above the ordinary
level of life, was loved by all fortunate
enough to know him well and enjoy
the benefits of his friendship and
society. He imiy, and doubtless will,
have a competent successor, but his
place will not easily l c filled. —Savon

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.
It will be apparent to any one who will
examine a Solid < Joi and Watch, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, a large proportion of the
precious metal used is needed only to
stiffen and hold the engraved portions in
place, and supply the necessary solidity
and strength. The surplus gold is actu
ally needless so far as utility and beau
ty are concerned. In JAMES BOSS’
PATENT GOLD WATUII CASES, this
waste of precious metal is overcome, and
the SAME SOLI Dll Y AND STRENGTH pro
duced at from one-third to one-half of the
usual cost of solid cases. This process is
of the most simple nature, as follows : a
plate of nicklc composition metal especi
ally adapted to the purpose, lias two plates
of solid gold soldered one on each side.
The three are then passed between polish
ed steel rollers, and the result is a strip o
heavy plated composition, from which the
cases, backs, centres, bezels, Ac., are cut
and shaped by suitable dies and formers.
The gold in these cases is sufficiently thick
to admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving
and enamelling; the engraved cases have
been carried until worn perfectly smooth
by time and use without removing the
gold.
; THIS is THE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD
I AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL
CERTIFICATE.

The Salvation Army began its work
under the leadership of the Rev.
William Booth in London in 18G5.
Since then it has been avert" active
religious organization, working among
the people who think themselves ex

and costly sittings of the Established
Church in the large cities. It has now
planned an American campaign.
Like John Wesley, who originated
a movement in some respects similar
in method, William Bootli is a product
of the Church of England. After
becoming a Wesleyan and then a
rniuistcr in the Methodist new con
nection, he gave up regular pulpit
work and started out as an evangelist.
He conceived the plan of carrying the
Gospel to the humblest people, and of
compelling their attention, by the use
of banners and devices, by singing
popular tunes, by marching a uni
formed band through the streets to
vocal music, and by holding daily
meetings out of doors, at places whore
a throng could be quickly gathered.
Military titles were given to men and
women who joined the army, and they
were decorated with silver badges and
helmets and presented with banners.
From a small beginning, the Army
has incrcssed until it numbers in Eng
land 533 officers, or evangelists, and
has 251 stations, where, in the course
of the year, 208,000 services are held.
It is claimed that in the next year
nearly 3,000,000 persons were reached
by the services. Converts are not
sought for any particular church. They
are at liberty to unite witli any
denomination, but they are encouraged
to help to carry on the work of the
Array. It is part of the teaching that
converts should devote themselves
without reserve to the service of God,
and should make every sacrifice to
save other souls. Salvation from sin
is the essence of the creed preached.
The evangelists hold to the early
Methodist doctrine that man has been
ruined utterly by the fall of Adam,
and that to save himself from an
eternal hell he must seek salvation
through the atonement of Christ and
the power of tlie Spirit, his reward
being eternal life in heaven with the
righteous.
The aim of the Salvationists is to
operate upon the emotions, to arouse
excitement, and sustain it, in ever}'
possible way, and to deal with the
hopes and fears of the multitude by
picturing the bliss awaiting those who
repent and the everlasting misery in
reserve for the impenitent wicked.

Rais on Ships.
Rats greatly infest ships, and are by
them conveyed to every part of the
world. So industriously do they make
I tomes for themselves in the numerous
crannies and corners in the hull of a
ship, that it is impossible to get rid of
them. Ships take out rats as well as
passengers and cargo, every voyage ;
whether tlie former remain in the ship
at port is best known to themselves.
When tlie East India Company had
ships of their own they employed a rat
catcher, who sometimes captured 500
rats in one ship just returned from Cal
cutta. The ship rat is often the black
species. Sometimes black and brown j
inhabit the same vessel, and unless they
carry on perpetual hostilities, one j
party will keep in the head of the
vessel and the other to the stern. The
ship rat is very anxious that his supply
of fresh water shall not fail; lie will
come on deck whey it, rains, and climb
up to the wet sails to suck them.
Sometimes he mistakes a spirit cask
for a water cask, and he gets drunk.
A captain on an American ship is
credited (or discredited) with- a in
genious hit of sharp practice as
means of clearing his ship from rats.
Having discharged a cargo at a port
in Holland, lie found his ship in juxta
position to another which had just
taken in a cargo of Dutch cheese. He
laid a plank at night from one vessel
to the other ; the rats, tempted by the
odor, trooped along the plank and be
gan tiic feast. lie took care that the
plank should not be there to serve them
as a pathway back again, and so the
cheese laden iffiip had a cruel addition
to its outward cargo.— N. T. Scientific

Killed the Wrong Hens.
An irascible sca-Captain settled
down to Portland life by the side of a
well-tempered man, and the two got i
along very well until the lien question
came up. Said the Captain:
“ I like you as a neighbor, but I
don't like your liens, and if they trou
ble me any more I'll shoot them.”
The mild mannered neighbor studi
ed over the matter some, but knowing
the Captain’s reputation well by re
port, ho replied :
“Well, if we can't get along any;
other way, shoot the hens, but I'll take
it as a favor if you will throw them
when dead over into out yard and yell
to my wife.”
“ All right,” said the Captain.
The next day the Captain's gun was
heard, and a dead hem fell in the quiet
man’s yard. The next day another
hen was thrown over, the next two, and
the next after three.
“ Say,” said the quiet man,
“ couldn’t you scatter them along a
| little ? Wc really can’t dispose of the
I number you are killing.”
“ Give ’em to your poor relations,”
replied the Captain, gruffly.
And the quiet man did. lie kept
his neighbors well supplied with chick
ens for sonic weeks.
One day the Captain said to the
man :
“ I have half a dozen nice hens I'm
i going to give you if you'll keep quiet
; about this affair.”
“ How is that,” said the quiet man.
| ” Are \ on sorry because you killed my
liens
“Your heus!” said the Captain.
“ Why, sir, those liens belonged to my
witc ! I didn’t know she had any un
til I fed you and your neighbors all
summer out of her flock.” —Portland

Orr & Hunter.
In a recent article on the commer
cial growth of Athens, in the Atlanta
Constitution , tlie following mention is
made of the firm of Orr & Hunter.
We rej roduce it because our readers
will be glad to know of the prosperity
of this firm, as it is comprised of Jack
son County boys:
This is comparatively anew house,
having only been in existence about
four years. Mr. Orr came here from
Newnan, Mr. Hunter heing a native
Athenian. Said Mr. Orr, in response
to my inquiry about the prosperity of
Athens: *• Yes, we are now on the
high road towards becoming an im
portant commercial and railroad cen
ter. and we, with the others, aic will
ing to join in anything that will help
push us ahead.”
“ Do you think you will have suf
ficient railroad facilities?”
“ Without doubt. The continuation
of the Northeastern to Knoxville, the
building of the Jug Tavern Branch
and the completion of the Georgia
Midland via Madison and Monticello
to Griffin will give us all wc will need
for awhile, at any rate.”
Continuing, he said, “ Athens has
never known such a boom as she now
enjoys. Two years ago we only re
ceived about 18.000 bales of cotton.
Last year we got 45,000 bales, and
this > ear we must necessarily go over
50,000 bales. The present crop pros
pects have put everybody in a glow
of interest over what we arc to have.
Our general business has improved
wonderfully, and our cotton has in
creased over 100 percent. These arc
significant straws, and show how plea
santly the winds of fortune arc blow
ing in our favor. Athens will have
$’200,000 worth of improvements this
year, which adds no small item to our
material development.”
Before I met Orr & Hunter, Mr.
Reaves, of Reaves, Nicholson & Cos.,
had told me they were one of the most
wide awake firms in this section, and
after hearing them talk, I am not pre
; pared to doubt the statement. When
anything tends to help Athens, they
realize that it helps them, and conse
quently they are always among tho
nost progressive. From a small be
ginning they have built up an enorm
ous brokerage business.
“ What do you sell, principally ?” I
asked.
“ Almost everything in merchan
dise.”
*• What are your figures for a j'car ?”
“ Wc sell about $500,000 worth of
merohandhe alone, but this does not
include all our business.”
“ What else ?”
“ We frequently get as many as fifty
car loads of goods a day. We sell GOO
tons of guano, worth SIB,OOO, and buy
17,000 bales of cotton, worth $850,000.
This brings our total business up to
$1,308,000 annually.”
] had heard of so many other houses
in Athens bouncing up to these big
figures, and I confess that those pre
sented by Mr. Orr somewhat surprised
me. Still, they do this business, all
the same, and do it on a thoroughly
business principle.
“ Do you handle anything else but
cottnn ?”
“ Yes. aside from groceries and oth
er merchandise, we do a good business
in all kinds of machinery. We sell
gins of the best make, including the
steel brush gin and the Lummus gin.
Then, too, we handle steam engines.
We are special general agents for Alt
man & Taylor’s celebrated engines.
We sell, also, a popular engine made
by Wood, Tabor & Morse. All the
last and best, inventions in separators
and threshing machines we keep.
Clark’s cotton cleaner is another of
our specialties. I find that farmers of
late years are buying labor-saving
machinery far more rapidly than for
merly. 'l'his augurs well, l think, for
wc can never succeed at the south un
| til we get out. of the old rots, in which
muscle is given supremacy over steam
. and machinery.”
The career of Messrs. Orr & Hunter
goes to prove that they arc well worthy
of the confidence and esteem in which
they are held alike by their customers
and dealers. They arc connected with
the well known firm, Inman, .Swan A
Cos., of New York, and buy a ccusid
■ crablc quantity of cotton for JJicm.
They represent none but the very
strongest houses in the west, north
j and east, ami by a course strictly
honest and energetic, have gathered
around them a really wonderful fol
lowing, including the confi lence of the
strongest moneyed men of Athens and
j northeast (Georgia. They have made
money, and deservedly. I have heard
many pleasant things said of them
since my stay here.
Just before leaving their office Mr.
Orr said to me while speaking of
Athens: “This building boom we
arc now going through would appear
ali the more marked were it known
that wc cannot get one half the build
ing done that we want. It is impos
sible to get hands, in the first place,
and contracting is going on at such a
brisk rate in other places that, with
our own contractors full to overflow
ing with work, much that would bi
done is postponed for an absolute lack
of labor.”
