Please pay up your subscriptions.
Thk work of transferring the sh'ck
subscribed to the A. E. and C. R. It.
to the final account goes on rapidly
and satisfactorily.
President Vebderv will be up next
week, and let us have a showing to
present to him which wilt authorize
his going immediately to work.
TRb canvass of Augusta by the
Committee for the A. E. & C. R. R. is
necessarily slow, owing to the busy
season and the great number of people
to be re-visited. Many could not be
seen on the first round, and so in these
cases their visits will have to be re-
1 >eated. They will probably conclude

a moment
' ’ jfet-shly escape the Col
e«s you live it is utterly im
After the Col. has closed
1g!|t» canvass, if any^man along the line
of our Road will come and tell us he
bis not responded to the call, we will
first demand satisfactory proof, and
thia having been given we will first
thrash the fellow, if at the risk of our
.
life, and then give him twenty-five
4 4 ’
dollars.
Thk question of comparison of
freights is one with which the farmers
are but slightly acquainted. Lincoln
ton is shout half as far as Washing¬
ton from Augusta. The cotton buy¬
ers oi Washington deduct this seventy
six miles of freight in buying. Is it
hard to see what our Railroad will do
foistbU section 7 Is it not plain that
the cotton market here will be better
than at Washington T Indeed will it
not pay Wilkes eouuty to ship her cot¬
ton on the A. E. and C. R. R.? Now
who is the farmer in this Savannah
belt of country who cannot contribute
something to so great a blessing ?
None can or will hesitate when ap¬
proached by Col. R. M. Mitchell.
Duriko the summer and fall before
the election it was thought by a good
many people, we will not say with
what degree of reasou, that the interest
taken by Augusta iu the A. E. and C.
R. It. was simply for the purpose of
making political capital. Now how¬
ever, surely all doubt must have been
removed. Tbe elections are all over
with, and still the interest, so far from
abating, increases in every direction
and especially in the city of Augusta
A thousand dollars has been advanced
by the citizens there to secure a thor¬
ough canvass of the counties outside,
and if the country comes up with lib¬
eral enough subscriptions, President
Verdery speaking for the company
and for Augusta promises to begin
work at once. We personally have
not hesitated to tell the President and
Directors that this entire country will
do even more than is expected of it.
Augusta has subscribed over thirty
thousand dollars and will certainly go
to fifty thousand.
11 ox. j. c. c. BLACK.
Mr, Black was sacraficcd. Alas, it
was a pity that so pure a man,
charming a theorist should fail of his
object. The model of his principles
is undoubtedly high and noble, but in
his charge of corruption on Joe.
Brown aud Colquitt the people do
not seem to sustain him. Messrs.
Colquitt and Brown are good able
honest men. It is true they seem to
be running the Georgia machine just
now, they seem to hold the helm to
the exclusion of others who might do
it as well, but then they arc there by
luatter of right, and they do their
work well. We can sasilv conceive
of their ways, means and methods for
obtaining offiec as being thoroughly
practical, respectable and to the poiut.
What suits the tastes, feelings and in¬
clinations of some good men might
not find au echo in the dispositions
others equally as good. Amt so goes
the world.
BUSIXESS STRICTLY .
We capitally doubt if there is au in
habitant of this section so obtuse as
not to recognize necessity, the importance—nay. securing
the absolute ot
proper rail facilities through Lincoln
county. It is a proposition too plain
for argument. The poor laborer in
the field agrees with the rich land
owner that a railroad is the prime
need now. How to secure at the
earliest period the modern means of
transportation, which have made
other regions rich and powerful is
the problem. And fortunately it is
easily solved. But wc affirm that the
only solution is for our people to hb
crally subscribe to the stock ot the
road now contemplated. This is not

HnTbavc only to pre
BIRrcPocd and the rest will
to without cost. So there is no
such word as fail if our people will
come forward with -their subscrip¬
tions as they should in this crisis. It
is a crisis for Lincoln county. It is
emphatically now or never so far as
having a railroad is concerned.
she lets this chance escape years may
elapse before she is given another
portunity. And if the people mean
to have the benefit of rail
there is no better time to make a suc¬
cessful effort than now. Suppose
each landowner should subscribe the
present valuation of his property is it
not fair to presume that if a railroad
were operated in from one, two or ten
miles of it that its value would in¬
crease from two to four fold ? But,
as we stated in the beginning dfthis
article, argument is not needed to
show the value of a railroad to the
county. Therefore, wc say, when
Mr. Mitchell, whom wc all know as a
sincere man, who lias the best inter¬
est of the at calls on
you, give him your whole subscrip¬
tion at onec. You cannot subscribe
too much. Augusta subscribed $17,
000 in one day aud the committee is
still working. The little town of
Danburg lias put down $12,000 and
will subscribe more. Elbert county,
though she lias already built one
road at a cost of $53,000, proposes to
have the grading done to Broad river,
22 miles. One family in Columbia
county lias subscribed $7,000. Wc
merely mention these facts to show
that Lincoln, which is much more in¬
terested than all the other counties
combined in securing rail facilities be¬
cause she has none in her limits and
they have, must bear a proportionate
burden and bear it willingly. The
only question for each of our inhabi¬
tants to debate is how much can he
subscribe and then unhesitatingly
take that much in the stock of the
road. Augusta tneaus to see that the
road is constructed, provided $100,000
in good subscriptions comes from the
counties. Lincoln once subscribed
$60,000 to the stock of a road that was
to run through the county. She can
and should do it again. By- one de¬
termined effort she can assure the ad¬
vent of tbe iron horse and the flashing
passenger coach and rumbling freight
and W1 then .. wiH not cost two dol¬
lars to carry *«i bale of cotton to Au¬
gusta. Let there be no slip backward.
The Evening News reports the fol¬
lowing : “We learn from the Covington
Star that a terrible trag< dy occured at
the residence of an old man named
Reed, who lives in Jasper county, near
the line of Morgan aud Newton, on last
Friday night. It seems, from what we
can learn, that a man by the name of
Linton Womack went to Mr. Reed s
house while in a drunken state, and
beat tbe old man with a stick in a
most shocking and brutal manner. A
short time after this a son of Mr. Reed,
a lad of 15 or 16 years’ came home
and found the family in great con¬
fusion and distress. Upon learning the
cause, he found Air. WomaOk and iu
qnired why he bad beaten his father.
Womack then drew his knife and
started to advance upou young Reeo
when the latter ran behind his horse
and fired under the horse’s belly r stri¬
king Womack in the thigh. Womack
still advanced, and young Reed tired
three more shots, each one taking effect
in Womack’s mouth. This seems to
have turned him,when a fifth shot took
efTect in his back. This last shot is
thought to be fatal, as he. was reported
to be dying at last accounts. The pis¬
tol used by Reed was a very smalt one.
Tne difficulty occurred near Broubton
ville, in Morgan county, and two miles
f roni Newborn. The shooting appears
to have been justifiable, aub the sym
pathies of the community are entirely

The General Assembly of Georgia
elected yesterday Hou. Pope Barrow, of
Clarke county,to till the unexpired term
of the late Senator Hill. Mr. Barrow
is a native of Oglethorpe eouuty aud in
■>» 44th y«r. He is a University grad
Couslitutiona , Convention of 1877 he
g reat jy distinguished himself. In 1S80
be was elected to the Legislature and
at once took a prominent positiou
lleadiness in debate and vigorous ora¬
tory characterize him, in the forum and
at the bar, as well as before popular as¬
semblages. His stay in the Senate will
be brief, but we are satisfied that it
will lack . tithing in patriotic service.
The conferring of Senatorship for a
few months on Mr. Barrow was not an
-empty compliment” but a great hon¬
or .—Augusta Chronicle.
