Newnan’s Boom.
We have repeatedly called attention
to the spirit of enterprise which has
been manifested in Newnan within the
past two years, and have neglected no
opportunity to impress upon our people
the importance of keeping up with the
march of progress which these bustling
conditions have inspired. That they
realize this responsibility and sympa
thize-with the spirit of improvement
which is upon us has been clearly and
most pleasingly demonstrated by the
numerous enterprises which have been
inaugurated here within the pei iod
mentioned. Not the least important
erf these is the Newnan Land Company,
the successful sale of whose lots on
Tuesday last—the evident anxiety of
purchasers to get an interest in the
property, the spirited bidding, and the
A careful recapitulation of the au
thentic returns, as far as received, from
the Congressiona 1 elections throughout
the country, gives the Democrats 161
districts, the Republicans 158, and leaves
six doubtful, namely: First district of
California, Thompson, (Democrat), De-
Haven, (Republican;) Fourth Connecti
cut district, Miles, (Republican,) Sey
mour (Democrat;) Second Louisiana
district, Elliott, (Democrat,) Coleman,
(Republican;) Tenth Michigan district,
Fisher, (Democrat,) Wheeler, (Repub
lican;) Ninth North Carolina district,
Johnston, (Democrat,) Ewart, (Repub
lican;) First Virginia district Browne,
(Republican,) Kendall, (Democrat.)
If the Republicans carry five out ot
these six districts they will have 163
votes, which is a bare majority. It the
Democrats carry two of the six, they
will have 163 votes and the majority, it

to create a fictitious demand for proper

Vs is frequently attempted in other com
munities, It is not necessary to resort
to such tactics in Newnan, and never
will be. Those who bought lots on Tues
day last did so either for the purpose
of securing homes, or because they re
garded the property as desirable for
investment. The prices paid represent
ed actual valuation, and that valuation
is based upon the industrial and com-
est, thriftiest towns in Georgia.

inhabitants that can, within the space
of one year, and without assistance

The State Road.
One of the first bills introduced in
the Legislature last week was a meas
ure proposed by Mr. Harrell,of Webster,
authorizing the sale of the State Road,
and it has already become a leading sub
ject of discussion throughout the State,
it is undoubtedly the most vexatious
question that will come before the pres
ent Legislature, and the wide diversity
of opinion which appears to exist as to
the best method of disposing of that
valuable, property leaves the public in a
state of harrassing uncertainty as to
what that body will finally do in the mat
ter. In view of the interest which nat
urally attaches to so important a sub
ject of legislation it may be well to re
produce the reasons advanced by Mr.
Harrell for the introduction of his bill,
and as some statistics are given
that will assist to a better understand
ing of the question, we publish them
in full below.
Mr^ITarrell says:
“As a matter of principle the State
should own no property except that,
which is necessary to carry on the State
government. It has the same right to
carry on any mercantile or manufactur
ing or farming interest that it has to en
gage in transportation by owning rail-
roach or steamboats.
“While the building of the road at
the time when railways were in their
infancy may have been defensible, now,
when transportation by railroads is a
regular business, engaged in hv private
persons, as they do in manufacturing
or farming, or in other callings, the
State ought not to engage in competi
tion with them no more than in tlieir
other callings.
“As a matter of policy the State
ought not to retain a property that does
not pay. The present rental of the
road onlv pays about 3| per cent, on its
value. The State pays an average of
about 5 per cent, on its bonded debt,
thus losing annually from 14 per cent,
to 2 per cent, or over $8,000,000. This
means $130,000 to $100,000 annually.
“There are only three objections
urged against the sale of the road, viz:
First, that a fair sale, without jobbery,
could not be made, and thus it would
not briqu its value; second, that the
money arising from its sale would be
paid into the treasury and squandered
before it could be applied to the public
debt; third, that it would deprive the
common schools of the half rental,
$150,000.
“The first two objections are clearly
met by t he bill int roduced by me for its
sale. The minimum price is fixed; it
cannot best’d for less and may bring
more, and that minimum price is the
amount of t lie bonded debt of the State.
The proceeds are devoted to the pay
ment of tiie bonded debt as it falls due,
and there can he no misappropriation
of it.
“The other objection, that is, that it
would deprive t lie common schools of
$150,000 annually, ismet by the tact that
by the sale ot the road as provided for
in the hid introduced by me,from $130,-
000 t ' $100,000 is annually saved by the
difference in interest paid and rental
received, and by the further fact that
its sale would cut off the entire interest
■ on the public debt, which now amounts
to over $400,000. This amount, with the
7 per cent, u-u d for collection, amounts
to a. savinu anmiuliy of about $500,000.
Suppose ) u devote even half this sum
to the common schools, then you in
crease it- propnation nearly 100 per
cent.: sup,-esc yon <j •' ot ■ a i of it to
schools, ti . n the peop’u w.add pay no
more taxe • than now, and t he schools
receive three times .the amount now ap
propriated; to them. And add to this
the fact that State ownership is not
elastic enough to preserve the value
of the property.
“In the present combinations of. rail
roads its value is seriously threatened,
and in a short time it may he dead prop
erty on the hands of the State
