By Wednesday next Engineer Wells, of
the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad,
will start down the line in a buggy, to in
vestigate the various localities where towns
are proposed to be built. He will make a
thorough investigation, and in all proba
bility he will christen several cities before
he returns to headquarters.
Several lively towns have already
sprung up along the line, and in places
where, one year ago, naught but the rank
and file of tall yellow pines stood, town
lota are now offered for sale at lively

The following letter and a clipping ac
companying it, were received at this office
few days ago:
Brooklyn, N. Y., December 29.—Edi
tor Telegraph: The enclosed clipping
from a New York paper:
Judge W. o. Grice, attorney for the adminis
trator of the estate of the late Harvey W. La
th rop, returned to Hawkinsvillc a lew days ago
from a trip to Charlton county, where he went
to attend the sale of the lands of said estate.
There are several thousand acres of tire land all
uncleared and having upon it such timber as is
usually found near the water eourses on the
coast of Georgia. The lands were sold at public
outcry to the highest bidder before the court
house door at Trader’s Hill, which is the county
site of Charlton. Eleven lots, containing 490
acres each, making a total of 5,390 acres,brought
only 158. Home of the lots sold for 12 each, he-
‘ t less than half a cent an acre.
Judge Grice had a talk with one of the citizens
who appeared to be In considerable trouble,us if
laboring under some great mental embarrass
ment or financial distress. The man had that
peculiar downcast look that is manifested by a
man whn iwiina ImriM trivpu hi'rtvv "Imof." iiml

About the first on the list below the
great rity of Macon, is the charming little
place lately dubbed “Wellston,”
in honor of the indefatigable en
gineer, whose umiring euutU are

office, Feagin, is located.
lice, rengin, is located.
All around the town lie fine farming
lands, equal in fertility and productive
ness, to any section of the State. Here is
■where llenry Feagin lias done liis big
farming, ami Wellston will lie one of the
liveliest villages along the line. It has
the grand old county of Houston to back
it, and sonic day in the near future, Wclls-
ton will figure largely as one of Macon's
most enterprising auxiliaries.
llolow Wellston, the next point where a
town is already located and assured is nt
the intersection of the Geofgia Southern
and the eastern extension of the
Aincricus, Preston and Lumpkin road,
and is “Cordelc,” named in honor of
President Sam Hawkins’ slaughter, and it
Is one of the liveliest places in South
Georgia. Already streets are being laid
out and houses are going np, and by the
time the irop horse comes charging down
the Georgia Southern to the environs of
Cbrdele, there will he a great deal of busi
ness going on there. This will also be one
of Macon’s best friends.
,Cordelc is located in
TIIE STATE OF DOOLY,
where good people live, and where they
le. It ia
of
live at home. It is situated in the ver;
best section of that part of the State, hot!
as to agriculture and to milling interests,
There the great !>ine forests of Georgia
may he seen in all their glory, stretching
away toward the north, cast, south and
west, and there men will
better their fortunes. Next or. the list
is Vienna, one of the old established towns
of the State, a place that was noted who
our fathers were small hoys. There is no
finer countrr in the South than that )<or.
tion of Dooly county, and the men of Vi
enna will cast many a dollar into the lap
of Macon. It is the county site of Dooly,
and among other things, has a thrifty
ucwsnaper. llolow Vienna the road strikes
out through the sparsely settled barrens,
aa they have long been termed, hut it may
he stated right here that they are only
“barrens" in laiint of imputation. The
great sheep walks of Southern Georgia be.
gin along there, and where farms have
been cleared, the land lias proven amulv
sufficient to support in poace anil plenty
the hardy yeomanry of the wiregroa

portion of the country, hut where the

Hut after traversing the solitudes of the
great “twenty mile retch,” os the hack'
woodsmen term it, the nourishing town
Tifton is reached, and there everything
assured.
IL II. Tift’s great lumber mill has l>ecn
in active o|ieratiun tilers for n good many
years, and nrouad the mill have clustered
many individual enterprises. The mer
chants of Macon will get fine patronage
from Tifton, and the town will grow ami
ilourith like a greet hay tree when it'
ever put on a line of direct communication
with onr own busv city.
llclow Tifton the fun begins.
Adel has long been a well known local!
ty, for it has turned out some of the best
citizens of Georgia, and the farmer’s
that community have always worked
the lead in the way’of energetic
“progressivcitess.’’ For some reason it was
decided to
CIIANOE THE NAME
to “Daphne,” hut the change does not
meet with the unanimous approbation of
the citizens of the euiuiuunity, and it may
lie reehristened.
No matter what they may choose to
name it, there is one town that Macon can
safely hank on, for its citizens are too pub
lic-spirited to ever let others get ahead of
them, anil with good health, good water
and productive soil, there is no reason why
the embryo city should not come to the
front with few preliminaries.
Next on the list ia ancient Hahira. This
was a famous place before the war. The
old Coffee road and the old Union road in

A Telegraph reporter sought Capt. A

laid down, I do know, however, that there
are large tracts of land lying right along
the verge of the great Okeefinokce swamps,

Charlton was then a part of Ware
county and the surveyros frequently went
as far into the swamp proper, as theyr
could go in following tliei’r
lnies. . This of course, left
many water lots, or bog lots, and others
that are of no value, and 1 guess that is
the class of lands referred to in the paper.
There are some very fine timbered lands in
the county, nnd some parts of it are very
productive. Possibly the New York paper
desired to decry the quality of Georgia
line lands in republishing tnc article. The
ands referred to were certainly not up
lands, for such a price per acre for any sort
of dry land with perfect titles wonfd be
ridiculous anywhere in the South. 1 have
heard a good story of the surveyors under
Manuel Torrence. It is said that when
they would go os far into the swamp os
they could, nnd could not find a tree for a
corner pus*. they would just mark a
of wood with the proper numbers and toss
it into the marsh. This was not exactly
casting bread upon the waters, and it is
doubtful if ever the corner post* returned
after many days.”
THE SALT TAX.
Mne.m “Merchant. Petition Congress to
Remove It.
|’In our press dispatches yesterday the
announcement was made that Hon. James
II. Blount had introduced a petition from
8. It. Jnqucii and others to place saltonthc
free list. This shows that Macon mer
chants are foremost in the matter of re
form. They snv salt duty is i.n iniquitous
and discriminating measure, and in con
versation with a number of onr most
prominent merchants yesterday the Tele-
(iRAru found llint they heartily endorsed
the movement. Said one gentleman:
“This same tiling was agitated at the
time of the revision of the tarifi' in 1883,
and strong cflbrts were made to have salt
put on the free list, hut it was not done.
Although there are only a few salt works
in the country, and all of the people con
sumers, the tax is kept on this article,
thiol Ip mod emphatically one of the sz.
rniVATE necessities •
of life, and It b done to protect a few little
concerns that nre located at different points
along the coast.
“Worse than this, the tax is discriminat
ing in its nature. An arrangement has
been made by which a packer of codfish,
away up in Massachusetts, may get his
salt duty free, but a pork packer in the
South and West must pay the duty.”
Another gentleman said: “It is not the
amount at stake, hot the principle in
volved that I look at. I am satisfied that
Mr. Illonnt fully understands the situa
tion, nnd will be on the alert to protect the
interests of his constituency.”
Macon people will be foqnd in this, a*
in everything else, always in the front
ranks ol those who are working in the in
terest of reform.
M ICON TRr.FORAPH Itl llFA
No. 3J-, Whitehall Street,
Atlanta, (1a., January lo, 1st
Ben Burton, the bigamist, is still miss,
ing, and if public opinion indicates any
thing, Burton will he missing for a long
tune to come, if, in fact, he is ever heard
from n£nin, which is a matter of con-id-
erable doubt. Colonel Boh Sibley, who
was his attorney, says that he confidently
expected Burton to return to the court
room at the hour set for the trial. Burton
spent a portion of Sundny at Colonel Sib-
ley’a house, talking over the case, and
about an hour before the time set for the
trial the next day left the court room in
seareli of a witness and never returned,
Colonel Sibley says that Burton
may still be looking for
the witness, but he has some doubts upon
that point, nnd thinks that it is more prob
able that Burton lias skipped for parts un
known, nnd will not likely be seen in At
lanta again.
Justice Tanner says: “I am now satisfied
that I put the bond too low. 1 wanted to
make it $1,000, but Chief Connolly, who
had Burton under arrest, said that a snail
bond would bo sufficient, anil at his sug
gestion I made the bond $250. Chief Joy
ner, who had Burton employed as supernu
merary on the fire department, and Sani
tary Inspector King lioth secmciL’to have
confidence in Burton’s innocence,
nnd nil of these circnmstarces,
induced me to fix the bond at $260.”
HIS BONDSMEN.
The bond is signed by Llewellyn II.
Muse, connected with the firm of Lamar,
Rankin & Lamar, and Riley Wilson, fith.
er of Delia Wilson, Burton’s last mrtri-
monial victim. Wilson lives on a place
owned by Muse, just beyond West Ind
and Muse signed the bond upon the earnest
solicitation of Wilson, who had every con
fidence in Burton. Tills bond will have
to be paid unless Wilson nnd Muse
produce their man, which looks very tm.
probable at this time.
About an hour bciore the trial was to
take place, Chief Connolly reache
Justice Tanner’s with a strong
delegation of witnesses. He also had
damaging documents to show that Burt
married Olar Burton, nee Elizabeth Curio
lin, and when these facts became known
alxiut the court-room, Burton remembered
that there was an important witness in the
citv whom he thought should bo present at
the trial, and left the court-room in search
of him, never to return again.
A notable feature in connection with
Burton’s career is that while he his five
wives, he is still under twenty-five year* of
age, showing that in the line of his profes
sion he evinced much activity.
A COMMON CLOD.
All of the developments in the case
show that Burton was illiterate and cool
not write his name; also that whenever he
hail work it was uf such a character as to
give him a hare living. When he worked
on the Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line he
was employed as a section hand; again, lie
worked on a farm at ten dollars a month,
and when he come to Atlanta his pay
the street as a sweeper was one doll
day. Recent developments show that
wliile he had two living wh
in Atlanta, ,he was courting
and making proposals
a half dozen more, and was only prevented
from marrying two unsuspecting girls on
one street, and living within a few blocks
of each other, by the interference nnd
prompt action of the parents of the girls,
one of whom rr.'i uwsy from her parents
and remained with Burton several days
under the promise of marriage.
The Gainesville wife, who was a widow
by the name of Thomas, is still here, lmv
ing come to Atlants, and she, with M
Delia Burton and Mrs. Ola Burton, make
a trio of indignant wives who have but one
husband between them, and that one tuii
ing.

was discussed in an informal way, but
nothing was done. The hoard then nd-
onrned to meet Saturday morning, when

Gov. McDaniel represents some of the

It is more than probable that the trouble
between Mr. James and the Central Bank
Block Association will go into the courts
to be adjudicated. Under the terms of the
agreement between Mr. Jattleeand the asso
ciation, the directors claim that Mr. James
now owes the association S7,800. Mr.
James and the directors have hud several
interesting tilts since the failure of his
bank and the organization of the associa
tion, which is composed of the depositors
of the hank. The trouble now pending be
tween them, however, promises to be more
serious than an v that haa sprung up during
the existence of the association, nnd the
result will be watched with much anxiety
by everyone interested in the affairs of the
association.
WOOLFOLK’S CONDITION.
People who passed the jail during Sun-
dav night and saw by the light in the
oflico were of the opinion that an unusual
vigil was kept over Tom Woolfolk. In
fart, the clanking of his chains upon the
cemented floor wns evidence that some
thing was going on. When asked yester
day what the light in the office meant, the
jailer and Ilia assistant merely said that
Tom waa somewhat nervous during the

The general impression about the court
room is that the case will not be concluded
for the next two dars. The evidence is in

in arguing <Jver the evidence and til
declarations made in connection with th_
condition of the affairs of the bank when

of the bank was $400,000, nearly all of

Atlanta, January 10.—The commission
appointed by the Governor under a legis
lative resolution to make an inventory of
the property of the State in the Western
and Atlantic railroad, held their first meet
ing to-dny. The oath was administered by
Comjitroller-General Wright. The com

The commission Kill for the present look
after mattcra at this end of the road. They
contemplate at an early date going up the
road, hut will wait until they hear from
Senator Brown, ns his assistance in making
the inventory will be essential. They ex-
>cct to hear from him in a few days. The
Senator will doubtless render them every
facility and assistance in Ills power.
Tin: LIRUAllY ASSOCIATION.
The Debt tn bn ltnfiiiiilf.il nt a Lower Rate
of Interest.
Atlanta, January 10.—For several
years the Young Men’s Library Associa
tion haa found its lsmiled indebtedness n
very heavy load to enrry, particularly
when the question of raising funds with
which to purchase new book* came up,
For some time the directors hnvo been
orking out a problem by which the bond
ed indebtedness could either lie scaled
down or arranged in n manner so as to give
less annoyance, and, if possible, get some
money with which to buy new books.
This problem hus’ nt last been
solved on it verv satisfactory basis.
The lsmiled indebtedness of the association
is $12,000. The bonds War 7 per cent, in
tercst, and the principal has to lie sealed
down nt the rate of $1,000 annually. These
bonds are held by Senator Brown. The
change contemplated, nnd in fact practi-
.-ally - 111. 11. i- that III.' -1 " 1,1 w,.rt li "f
bonds now in his hands arc to be taken up
and the same amount uf bunds again floated
nt 6 {xt cent, interest, to run ten years,
with no obligation attached requiring any
f the principal to he paid off until the
bonds arc due.
Mrs. \V. Ik Cox has agreed to take the
bonds a* soon os the association ia ready
to deliver them to her. By this transfer of
the ill,I, lit, .ill,-- of til. lath'll
Senator Brown to Mrs. Cox, the directors
will save 1 per cent, on a loan of $12,000,
and get out of the immediate necessity or
paying off $1,000 of tho principal annti'
ally. This arrangement will give the di
rectors more money to spend for hooks, aud
at the same time make them feel easier in
money matters.
Hope of Dr. Armstrong's Recovery.
Atlanta, January 10.—Dr. J. B. Baird,
chairman of the board of health, who is
one of the attending physicians upon Dr.
W. 8. Armstrong, also a member of the

the patient. Said he: “1 regard his
condition ns more favorable to-day than it
has been at any time during liis long ill
ness. He is still unconscious, and recog.
nizes no one who goes about him; lint
every indication goes to show that his
ihvsical condition is much better than it

He looks stronger, and I am now almost
confident that lie will get well.
Car ttreakers Trapped.
Atlanta,' January 10.—Last night
three negroes broke into a freight car of
the East Tennessee, Virginia nnd Georgia
railroad for the purpose of idundering it.
They made nsc of an axe to torce open the
door. While they were in the car a night
watchman detected them and closed tho
door upon the trio. Call Officer Green
was sent for, nnd while the prisoners were
l>eing taken out two of them got away.
The third, Eil Gaines, as lie is known, was
escorted to the police headquarters and
locked up on the charge of car breaking.

Southern District of Georgia, and Judge
Wm. T. Newman, of the Northern Dis

on the loan* made by foreign eompanicion
farming lands in Georgia. Judge New
man holds with the decision of theSu
preme Court of the Slate, anil makes ilu
cisions on that line every week.
To-dny in the case ol Charles L. Flint
vs. John V. Steele and William II. Dunn,
of Cobh county, judgment was rendered for
the plaintiff for $600 principal, $71.22 in.
to rest, and $67.12 attorney’s fee* and co*t*.
Charles L. Flint i« president of the New

now in the city. The main Lusincaa that
brings him here is the case of the New

In this case the company put out on tn,
Gunn landa $16,000, nnd the collection
contested on the usury question. The case
will come up to-morrow Ix’fore Judge New

I understand these foreign companies have
put out on Georgia lands nhnut $8,000,000,
and until Jndge Speer’s decision in the
Essstrce ease the farmers paid about 95
per cent a* the notes fell due.
It if claimed that the interest in the way
