Newnan, Ga., Friday, November 16,5838. ^ , i* new deal of the Richmond Terminal Ihr Jerald ant&drorfot| to cut it off at Marietta, thus making it onlv a local road from Chattanooga to Marietta. This would reduce its value at least one-fourth, and the first thing we know we will have on our hands an unsaleable road, and one that we can not rent for more than $10,000 per month. . . * “These considerations convince me that we ought to sell as soon as possi ble.” WEEKLY CIRCULATION, 1,760. JAS. E. BROWN, Editor. 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 the closest Congress that vj ) _„_i i is therefore uk , .. excellent prices obtained—was a ret el- has been - seen for some time, and the ationto all save those who liave kept ■ - .... pace with t he city’s recent growth and development. This was not an attempt to create a fictitious demand for proper ty with a view to “booming” the town, 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. A town of less than four thousand inhabitants that can, within the space of one year, and without assistance from the outside world, build a $100,000 cotton factory, a $25,000 carriage facto ry, a $5,000 wagon factory, and inaugu rate a system of public schools, will al ways be able to get along. This is what we liave done, and yet the season of our greatest prosperity is now just dawning.

Announcements under this head Five Dollars, invariably in advance. 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 FOR COUNCILMEN.
