ROME RAILROAD
THE SOUTHERN.
Rai! Road Figuring After Thou
sands of Miles.
AND ENTIRE SYSTEMS.
May be Swallowed up in the
Folds of the Greatestßail
RoMroad Combina
tion the Earth has
Ever Known
The Southern railroad is to be,
one of tiie most gigantic railroad
systems iu the world if cuneut
stories are i rue.
The eyes of all the world are
upon the officials of that road, and
no deal that they might consum
mate would surprise tne public.
The breadth of the undertaking
when the Southern was made out
of ad< Z 'li lines ot roads amazed
the railroad world as nothing had
done i;i a <.ecade but what is to
come is perhaps o‘ greater magni
tude than what his been aoue al
ready.
The latest in railroad circles is
that about two thousand miles of
railw iy are yet to be added to the
4.333 miles t lready in the system.
The public counts on the Central
being included in the Southren
altbrough Mr. Comer the receiver
says that it will be in here jdi u : ,
The Central's mileage at the time
it was placed in a receivership was
about 2,500.
The most important rumor now
current is that the Queen and
Ciescent, witn its 1,192 miles of
road, long identified with the Easi
Tennessee is to be taken into the
fold of the Southern With it will
come the Alabama Great South
ern. It can be stated on pretty
good authority that these Hues
will become part of the consolida
tion.
But not half has yet been told.
The New Orleans and Northeastern
with 196 miles of road:lhe Alaba
ma and Vicksburg with 4 10 miles
and (he Vicksburgs Shreveport
and Pacific with 176 are said to be
slated for the Southern.
The Alabama Southern is
said to sure to fall into the hands
of the Southern under the fore
clssure sale of August 22ud,
Such are the stories that are go
ing about among the railroad men
and they are not without a basis
in truth. The brainy effective rail
road men do not advertise their
movements until they consumate
what they have in hand but it fre
quently happens that despite their
vigilance their plans leak out.
Tiie men at the head ot the Soutl •
era are ambitious to make it a great
system of railway hues, a system
which will control the traffic arrange
ments of the South and it is not be
lieved they will stop until they have
acquired enough mileage so located
as to accomplish this purpose. The
scheme is a great one, and has be
hind it men competnat to push it to
success.
Time will develope the nature of
the plans of the promoters of the
Southern, It is stated that along the
line of the contemplated acquisition
of the Cincinnati Southern, President
Samuel Felton has been ofiered the
position as first vice president of the
Southern. It is a significant fact
that this position has not been filled.
The rumor that Sol Haas would get
it is without foundation, it seems,
The public may confidently await
interesting developments concerning
the further development of the
Southern.

PINEING FOR A GLIMPSE.
Os one Good old Georgia Gul
ly. Having an Enjoyable
Trip on the Continent.
Will be Home in
September.
Muuicb, July 20 1894.
Mr. John C. Foster : B Rome, Ga.
Dear Sii: I sigh for the sight of a
gully, since 1 left New York I have
uot seen a single one, I have gone
through a part of England, then to
Belgium by Antwerp and Brussels,
into Germany to Cologne, Wieeba
detr, Berlin, thence to Prague and
Vienna and from Vienna today to
this city, and yet I have not been
able to find a gully,
This ci u.ily is cultiv «ted like a
garden only more so, the valleys
and mountain slopes which stretch
out, often for a great distance be
fore the eye, are covered with
patch work, and in m mature would
look like an old fashioned bed
quilt, with squares and triangles
and all sorts of shaped nieces fit
ted accurately together,some green
(grape) some yellow (ripe rye)
some between a green and a yel
low (wheat just turning) etc, oth> r
patches, strips and oduly shaped
beds made up of clover, lucurn
beets and vegetables of different
kinds with potatoes and beets pre
dominating.
The ground is covered like a
carpet over a floor, and in the sun
shine it is beautiful.
The crops are superb, all grain
is called here corn, havejonly seen
some of our corn growing except
a few small patches in Austria.
I have enjoyed my trip this far
very much, i.e. since the 9th. inst.
for prior to that time I was 30 days
on my back in London. I think I
will get entirely well again. We
sail for N. Y. on the 31st. of Au*
gust from South Hampton on the
Columbia and will be at home
about the middle of September.
We are both well. Mr Denny
desires to be rem -mbered to you.
Remember me to your wife and
your neice who lives with you and
who I advised to spend your mon
ey for you freely find tell her I ad
here to that advice.
If I live and my litile grand-son
lives to manhood, be shall make
the trip, when he is about 18, that
I am now making.
If you have any trouble in read
ing the enclosed slips, get Will
Beysiegle to translate them for
you. Yours truly,
J. Branham
DAEAD AND DYING.
Fatalities in a Deep Well at
Plainville.
Yesterday forenoon George
Payne, of Plainville, went down
into Will Gunn’s well.
He was overcome by gas, Mr.
Gunn was hastily summonsed and
quickly descended to rescue Mr.
Payne.
He tied the rope around the
prostrate form and ordered those
above to haul it up,
Before the rope could be sent
down again Mr. Gunn was insensi
ble and Mr. Tom Jennings tied the
rope around the unconscious man
and then swung on and came out
of the treacherous pit.
L>r, Huffaker was summonsed
and pronounced Payne dead and
said there was no hope for Gunn,
Mr, Gunn is a carpenter and is
well known in Rome,

ROME SCHOOLS
The Best System in any city in
the South.
ARE STEADIEY GROWING
An Eighth Grade Added and
the old CourtJHouse Leased
for Three Years. A Pro
gressive Board of
Trustees.
The world moves and so do the
affairs of the Rome Public Schools
whose board is now organized as fol
lowing—M. M,Pepper, Presdt; W, H,
Steel, Secretary ; -T, L. (’amp, Satnu
el T Lowry. J, K. Williamson.
These gentlemen Lave shown them
selves no less conservative than pro
gressive—Conservative in that they
have retained our already trained
superintendant and teachers and ad
dedto the corps two excellent teachers
in Nliss Bettie Ledbetter md Mi c s
Laura Hume ; proggressive iu that
they have adopted regulations and
made new places of far reaching ben
efit to the children of our people.
Witness as following:—
First: The first section of the new
rules adopted is that there shall be
eight grades, ’o no longer is itueces
sary for our public school pupils to
be sent elsewhere to prepare them
for college or for business.
No longer can our public schools
be said to graduate its pupils to°
young aim too ignorant, fur the
Board of Trustees have ordered that
at the white schools the standard
sabll be raise 1,
These upper grades will be under
the care cf Prof, Robert J. Gwaltney,
who will preside over the bovs while
Miss Kate Roberson will be in charge
of the girls, which in effect gives to
us at onca a high school for beys and
a high school for girl s.
This has been a great med to
our schools and we have no doubt
our boys and girls who graduate
hereafter will be able to enter any
college in the United States.
Indeed Superintendent Harris
who made out the cn irse cf study
says that i; reaches the Freshman
class of the best colleges and to a
young man or young lady unable
financially to attend co lege it
furnishes education sufficient to en
able them to enter the study of anv
profession or to learn any busim s
whatever.
Second: Tiie growth of the
system has reached its enrollment
during the year reaching thirteeu
hundred pupils. This has mad of
Course a co.responding need for
enlarged facilities for the enroll
ments shows the attendants ot
three hundred pupils 4 more thi n
two years ago.
Third: The Board has leased
for a term of three years the old
court house which they are now
converting into school rooms and
which will give with but little
additional cost ample accomma
datrous for all pupils.
Plans are already made and in a
very few days visitors to the old
Court house will see it changed into
a model school building with every
appointment of desks, boards ai d
closets.
Superintendent Harris says he is
specially delighted at the action of
the Board in thus sucuring another
large well built biick building, so
easily adapted to school purposes, so
centrally located and affording all the
room the system needs-
These new school rooms iu the
Court house will be well lighted ven
tilated and nicely furnished, and now
with the main school building,the two
wooden buildings and the former
Court house, old Tower Hill presents
an array of school buildings propor
tionate to the needs of our schools.
Fourth: The Board has now
in press a hand-book giving all
the facts, the reports, the regula
tions, the course of study—and
this will prove in the hands of
Reachers and patrons, of great use.
The following is the teaching
service for the next year, from
which it is clear that our children
from those learning to read, to
those ready, to enter college or
business, are under the care of ex
perienced faithful teachers.
