THE NEWS, LINCOLN! ON, GA., Nov. 24, 18S2. SrnscmPTto.v, $2.00. r.nirouiAi. 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 15. ric»l [<:■]■«■] E 552 HiEI ( »}* SEE / SEE SQi S3I S3 EL S2 £ S jEE 72HE EZLE iii*j SHE 3 E SEE H51 r IE ansa I 3E 1357 3i i* 1 <"■ - ■ - 333 * JHBMUg Htii i. ... ..'L: -A K 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 til, A| |no f nl , back 715 or other E □ Rot the time / Jions. Even¬ ES I . i ingly put into (f dollar he can I W, nor according £ h ^another may sub E IRRteach accord I itlic time s a certain / i nor | with the fc in the r the peo j great cf ____The .......j old tiaxim—“God helps Semselves.” tr v „ , Elber ilway hss been ob | has been orgau Lemeu have been ; and the Sclicit ^ the road and / kding must be riefly in can be v com : rated, it that, [which Ls aud ft'aek. ithe ■nil 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 .viih Sir. Reed ” Hon. Pope Harrow. The General Assembly of Georgia elected yesterday Hou.
