TO MAKE A BULROAD SYSTEM
FROM KNOXVILLE TO

Hard tinea and railroad receiverships
do not atop the work of* railroad devel
opment in Georgia.
Railroad men wlU get together and
mark oat their plans for extension and
enlargement of their various railway
systems, and just sdch is now on In
Georgia.
The Seaboard Air-Line system has
never hesitated to spend money wher-
erer tt was oonvinoed a good bargain
seated, and it Is said that the authori
ties of that system are now at work on
plans looking to the combination of a
number of roadn Into a system extend
ing from Kncaraille to the southern ter
minus.. of the Gwrgta, Southern A
Florida. * '
The Seaboard Air-Line officials hare
always been reticent upon the subjects,
and hare generally said little tor publi
cation until the work was done, but
hare gone along and done the work and
then talked about it.
But enough has leaked out to let the
people know that such a plan is being
devised, and that it may soon be put
into operation.
The Georgia, Southern A Florida la
a splendiclroad and fornishea a fine
oouthern outlet, just such as would bo
desired by this combination.
It is reported that the Seaboard Air-
Line la authorizing its agents to buy in
M. A N. securities, and also that a
proposition haa been made for the pur
chase of the Blue Ridge A Atlantic. If
Bush is consummated, then the Blue
R dge A Atlantic would be at once «x
tended to Knoxville, and thst would
make a complete line with the excep
tion of the gap between Cornelia and
Athena. Tnsr, of course, would have
to be filled.
The advantages < f tuoh a road would
be very great. They appear at onoe to
the observer. It would open up a new
country in some respects. It would
make a abort line connection with the
Jjjnrould give the Ssaboard Air-
Line a southern outlet And in all the
benefits that might arise, Athens would
derive e large share, because she would
be the crossing point of the two sys
tems.
While nothing of an authoritative na
ture can be obtained still everything
points that way, and the indications
are that the Seaboard Air-Line is at
work on theee plane and that they will
be speedily effected.

Wttl Convene in Atlanta Next Week.
The judges of the state will hold a
convention in Atlanta some time hext
month. A movement is on foot and is
sufficiently advanced to' warrant the
statement that a large number of su
perior and oity court judges will as
semble in the senate chamber during
August and disouss some grave ques
tions.
Among other business that will he
transacted will be the revising of the
rules of prao*ics in the superior and
dtyoourtaof the state wherever such
revision is found to be necessary.
One thing which concerns them all is
the sots of lawlessness committed by
mobsof lynohensand white caps. If
courts are tffblame, the judges want
to find out in what manner, so that a
remedy can be applied. Another sub
ject which will occupy the attention of
the judges will be the penal laws. Some
of the penalties are-too severe. For
instanoe, a ten-year-old hoy was con
victed of forging a note for 75 eents
and had to be sentenced to four yean
In the penitentiary. Another boy got
fifteen yean for stealing a pitcher of
buttermilk.
Mr. Van Pelt, Editor of the Craig

In speaking of the fair, Mr. Swann
was very entboaiastir, and said it was
a pity that more people in the sooth
were not availing themselves of the
privileges which the fair aflorcled. Few
Georgians are to be seen on the streets
of Chiesgo, or,on the fair grounds. 1;
is tbe greatest ever held, and has the
oompletest exhibits from all nations.
Not only is tbe handiwork of all coun
tries exhibited, hot living representa
tives of most of the nations, showing
manner of life of almost all tbe varied
tribes of earth. —
In the machinery department one
thing particularly interesting to the
visitor are the railroad engines, from
the first one in use to the magnificent
locomotive of the present day. Tbe
first engine ever pot upon tbe track is
there, with a barrel for water, as it was
carried to supply the boiler with water
on the first trip it ever made. Tbe
great improvements made ainoO that day
are shown in the various machines now
on^xbibitton, but the same principle
whioh governed tbe ornde engine of the
long ago, is thst whioh now mskf a the
beautiful engine* that now ran on
the reads the thing* of beanty and
power that they are. The exhibits in
the mao'iinery department are Illustra
tive of all the other departments.
Mr. Swann spent about two week* in
taking in the sights of the fair, but that
is not a sufficient time to gather in all
the wonderful things this exhibition
has in store for visitors.
After leaving the fair, Mr. Swann
spent some weeks travelling in the
northwest. The lands are the- best be
ever saw, and the people are happy and
oontanted. In the states he visited, the
stringency of the times had not affected
the people to any great extent. Iowa
is a great oorn and stock raising state,
and the people are making money by
raising hogs and oattle. Hard times
has made little impression on the peo
ple, as all seemed prosperous and
happy'.
Mr. Swann is glad to get back to
Georgia again, but is well repaid for
the time and expense of bis trip, and
would urge upon all who can do ao, to
visit tibls fair, Which is unquestionably
the finest one ever held.
Tbe trouble with most of our people
in these stringent times is the lack of
the necessary means, and besides, the
railroad fare in tbe north and west is
much lower than on aonthern lines. If
tbe southern roads would reduce their
rates in tbe same proportion as the
northern roads, many more people from
Georgia and other aonthern states would
visit the fair.
Georgians who attend the fair ex
press regret that tbe Empire State of
the south has no exhibit, while nearly
every part of the earth is represented
in the great show.
Word to Say
About the Georgia Norma'. School.
The State Normal School is attracting
a great deal of attention all oyer tbe
State, and people in every section of
Georgia are making inquiries ooaoern-
ingit.
lathe Atlanta Constitution of yea
teidsy appeared a leegtbly article on
tbe Normal School, in which tbe fol
lowing interacting interview with
President Lawton B. Evans occurred:
"What attitude, professor, do you
think the general aaaembly will awume
towards the school ?”
"We take it for granted that tbe
members of the legislature are our
friends in this matter. They readily
accepted tbe $46,000 worth of property
forth* State with the understanding
that it was to form a nucleus for a Nor
mal college. The college was estab
lished, and, through tbe untiring ef
fort* of Gov. Noithen, State School
Commissioner BradweU and the gen
erosity of the oitiaens of Clarke, has
been enabled to operate for the put
two years, and to serve, ss It ware, a
kind of objret lesson to the people,
showing the great need and utility of
such an institution. After the soonest
of the past two years, the legislature
surely will not oontinne in the anoma
lous position cf establishing an insti
tution without voting the necessary
funds to sustain it."
"But what of the publie schools; will
there net be a clash of interests there t”
wu suggested.
"By no means. In no way could the
common rcbools be benefited so much
at by furnishing them with competent
trained teachers "
"But, will not increased appropria
tions to the common schools secure
trained teacher* 7"
"Moat assuredly, but if the State oou-
not furnish them, they most be brought
from other States. Infant, this is be
ing done now for the higher positions,
or, if Georgians sometimes fi'l them, i-t
most casee they were compelled to pre
pare themselves at Normal colleges
outside of tbe State.”
" What appropriation in your cpinioa
would be necessary to make the oollrg 1
permanent.”
"Dr J L. M. Curry,financial agent of
the Ptaboly Fund, a native of Georgia
and an alumnus of the University of
Georgia, is very anxious for _the estab-
rnent of a Normal college in hia native
8tete, and b«a offered, time and again
to duplicate whatever appropriation
that the legislature would make.
Twelve thousand dollars per year
would, in my opinion, be neceaaaay for
the college. Six thousand of this the
Peabcdy trustees would, in all probe-
' "bility, give, leaving $6,000 to be appro
priated by tbe State. Tnese trustees,
however, will not moye before Georgia
does, their rule of action being to help
no one who does not heip himself.”
Ia addition to this yearly appropria
tion, as much aa $10,000 would be nec
essary for remodeling and furnishing
the building. There is now a strong
sentiment among tbe people of the
8teie forthe college; a large percentage
of the teachers and schools of the coun
try favor It, and will petition the leg
islature for ita establishment.

- HEALTH IN OLD AGE.
Edward Collinson, Queens, N. Y n
says:
"I commenced using BbandRkth’s
Pills over fifty-five years ago. I first
bought them in London, and have con
tinued using them since I came to this
country in 1830 I am now over seven
ty-five years old, hale and hearty, and
attribute my wonderful he-lvh to the
persistent use of Brandrbth's Pills.
Occasionally 1 have a bad cold or sev
ere attack of rheumatism, indigestion
or biliousness, but four or five doses of
Brandbkth’s Fill* always cure me.
Whenever my children have been sick
with scarlet fever, measles, acid stom-
aob, disordered digestion or costiva-
ness, a few doses of Brandrkth's Pill$
restored their health at onoe.”
