announcements made for county

Will the Central Build from
Greeneville to Newnan?
It is again rumored that the Central
means to build a line from Greeneville
to Newnan, or some point conveniently
located, and connect therewith its main
lines to Atlanta and Chattanooga. For
years the people of this section have
been trying to induce the Central to
take such action, but owing to some
cause the movement has been postpon
; ed. From Savannah comes the rumor
i tills time that the road means to extend
1 and broaden its line between the points
named, and it has all the earmarks ot
truth According to the authority who
brought the news it is the intention of
Central to suggest to the people along
the line that they raise all the money
they cau toward defraying (he expense
of building the new road, mid then the
Central authorities will do the rest
Whether anything will result from this
report is not yet known, but it is con
sidered as a certainty that there is
something in it.
The Nswnau Herald says: ‘Tt is
greatly to be hoped that the rumor is
true. Newnan would extend liberal
aid to such a movement, as would the
people all along the proposed route, and
we would like to have some tangible
evidence of the sincerity of the Cen
tral’s intentions. A road to Greene
ville would help Newnan, and a line to
Franklin would be worth even more.
Perhaps we may have both one or these
days. Newnan has her tail up now,
and tnere’s no telling where she 11
stop.”

Chief Ppelps is Stabbed.
Professor Snider may be right,
from his standpoint, in saymg .hat
it will be a backward spring; but the
last two days have been warm ones,
the eap has mounted upward and
spring fights have opened up in full
bloom.
Thursday eDernoon Chief Phelps
warned Andrew Williams, ot W hite
Plains, a settlement out near Wil
liamson, to keep est the streets, as
he was getting too full of Pine I
Mountain spring water. Williams, !
it is said, became insulted at this
and made threats against the chief I
to several parties ;so when Phelps
met Williamson the street again,
about half an hour later, he was
prepared for him. He put his hand
on him to arrest him, but Williams
broke away, and when they got to
gether and were again separated, I
Williams was badly beaten over the
head with a club, while Phelps,
with his face all bloody from a
knife stab in the right side of the
nose, was facing him with a drawn
pistol. Williams begged for his life
and was carried off by the police,
afterwards giving bond, getting
his wounds dressed and going home.
There was great excitement on
the streets for a while, many think
ing that the chief was seriously in
jured, but while he went home
pretty sick Dr Carson, who dressed
his wound, said it was a slight gash
and would soon be healed.
Tobe Delegate to National
Convention.
Judge R. T. Daniel, the popular
jurist and eminent member of the
Red Men and Odd Fellows of the
United States, is also taking an in
terest in national politics and will
in all probability bo one of the two
delegates from the Sixth congres
sional district to the Democratic
national convention at St. Louis on
the 6th of July. He is receiving
the strongest kind of support from
all over the district and wb’le there
are known to be a number of other
aspirants for the position, they will
have to beat the other fellow in order
to win out.
His intimate knowledge of the
proceedings of the national conven
tions of secret orders in which he
has often participated, all such
meetings being much alike in their
methods of procedure—as well as
his acquaintance with prominent
people from all over the United
States, many of whom will be there,
will make him a valuable member
of the convention. He will go un
pledged to the personal fortune of
any candidate, unless the conven
tion should instruct, but will act
for what he regards as the best in
terests of the party.
