Parrott, BROWN & PARROTT, EUITOIW ANII PUHMHIIERS. HAll.no AD NOW ASSURED. A meeting of the subscribers to the Htock of the Western of Georgia rail way—the new railroad projected from Franklin via Newnan to Aberdeen, on the A., R. & A. road- was held in the court-house last night. Reports were made by the various committees that have been working to secure this rail road for Newnan, and the gratifying announcement was made that the amount required of Newnan and Cow eta county had been raised. The an nouncement was greeted by applause, and everybody seemed happy over the successful culmination of a movement which means so much to Newnan and Coweta county. On motion, it was decided to call in the subscriptions to the capital stock, and 1. N. Orr, sr., T. G. Farmer and II. C. Arnall, jr., the committee named in the contract to receive the subscrip tions, were directed to collect the money and turn it over to another com mittee composed of H. T. Thompson, W. C. Wright and N. E. I’owel. The last-named committee was likewise empowered to investigate and pass upon the solvency of the securities tendered by McCord & Co., the con tractors, the latter having agreed to put up bonds and other solvent securi ties in an amount equal to the total money subscriptions of Coweta and Heard counties, as a pledge for the faithful performance of their contract. Roth committees are at work to-day. The cull for money last night was immediately responded to by Col. W. C. Wright and Mr. E. C. Goodwyn, who came near falling over each other in their eagerness to be the first to pay the amount of their subscriptions. Col. Wright was the quicker, though, and hastily scribbled his check for $500. Mr. Goodwyn followed with a check for $100. And thus the superstitious objection to beginning the work of col lecting the subscriptions on Friday was happily obviated. lion. I. N. Orr was elected perma nent chairman of the stockholders’ as sociation, and Mr. N. E. Rowel was chosen secretary. Future meetings will be held as the chairman may order. Mr. 1. L. McCord, of the contracting linn of McCord & Co., being in the city, was brought before the meeting and asked to make a talk. He said he had nothing to add to statements made by him at previous meetings, except that he had completed all arrangements in New York to secure the money with which to build and equip the road, and was anxious to begin work. If the subscriptions should be paid this week, he said, he would put a corps of engi neers in the field next week to make a permanent survey and locate the route. In another week, he added, he would have teams and laborers engaged in the work of construction. He conclud ed by saying that he expected to have trains running between Newnan and Franklin in time to move the next cot ton crop. He hoped there would be no delay in converting the subscriptions into cash, and that all necessary details would be closed up at once, in order that his company might get to work. Short talks were made also by Col. W. C. Wright, Hon. 1. N. Orr, Mr. R. T. Thompson, Mr. E. C. Goodwyn, Capt. .1. J. Goodruni, and others. Mr. Goodwyn remarked that the agitation for another railroad had had one good result already i. e., the rate on do mestic coal to Newnan had been re duced 55c. per ton, and he anticipated other substantial benefits from the building of the road. Subscriptions are being paid rapidly to-day, the committee having about all they can do to handle the money. Let everybody pay up promptly. The soon er it is done, the sooner the work of construction will begin. Hon. L. M. Farmer presided at last night’s meeting. Kills Would-Be Slayer.

LONE OAK. The “tacky party” given by Misses Artie and Lillie Ponder in entertain ment of the Social Club was pro nounced a complete success. The in genuity displayed in the “getting up” of the various costumes was wonder ful. In several instances relics of the past indulgently lent themselves to the adornment of youth. Mr. Raymond Sims wore the coat in which his grand father was married, while Mr. Edwin Latimer sported a vest that owned up to one hundred and forty-five years, woven of cotton that was picked from the seed by hand. The decorations, games, refreshments and favors all har monized with the character and spirit of the occasion, and furnished fun to the participants and spectators suffi cient to ward off the “blues” for a month to come. Services at Prospect were conducted by the pastor, Rev. A. H. S. Rugg, Saturday, and on Sunday forenoon and evening. News of improvement in the health of Mrs. Rugg was gladly re ceived by their many friends in this community. Following the prelimina ry service on Sunday morning, the large and appreciative congregation was favored with a most forcible and eloquent address from Hon. S. E. Leigh, of Grantville, on the subject of missions, Mr. Leigh having been ap pointed at the last district conference as head of the laymen’s missionary movement in LaGrange district. The cause could not have beerr entrusted to an abler or more zealous advocate. Among the visitors at this service were Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Sewell, Miss Lillian Sewell and Miss Callie Mae Latimer, of Grantville; Mr. and Mrs. .1. ('. Harman, of Odessadale; Mr. and Mrs. Oiven Ponder, of Rocky Mount; Prof. Barnes and Mr. Clements, of Stinson; also, Miss Mae Prickett, who is teaching at Hickory Grove, Troup county, and who spent Saturday and Sunday with homefolks.

Herring and family came up from Greenville Sunday morning for a day’s visit to Lone Oak relatives. News of the critical illness of Mrs. S. F. Culpepper at her home in Green ville brings regret and anxiety to our community. Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Cul pepper and Prof. IL L.

Weakness of the Convict Law. Meriwether Vindicator. The new convict law is bound to be come an unpopular measure. Its weak nesses are becoming more apparent every day. It is the most imperfect, incomplete, chaotic measure passed by the General Assembly in a score of years. The small counties will be the princi pal sufferers from its provisions, and the rich city counties be benefited try its passage. Taxes are bound to soar skyward, un til the Constitutional prohibition will have to be repealed so that a greater tax-rate can be levied to meet the cur rent expenses of the State. It was necessary to license the sale of the so-called near-beer to maintain the new system, and the money raised by this iniquitous sanction Py law of hundreds of “blind tigers” will not provide sufficient revenue to maintain the convicts. It lias practically been decided that the white convicts are not to be put on the roads, which will necessitate an ad ditional appropriation to provide for this aggregation of felons. The Representatives of the State were hectored by a certain Atlanta newspaper and driven into the passage of the present taw, which the whole State will ultimately condemn. It is hoped the next Legislature will not listen to the vaporings of yellow journals. We were not in favor of continuing f ir an indefinite period the lease sys tem, but we believed that the State should lease them until 1911 and make preparations within that time for the final abolishment of the lease system. As it is, we have got the cart before the horse. The old system was abol ished before preparations wove made for the change. Donors Are Thanked.
