THE NEWS, LINCOLN rOX, GA., Dec 8, 1882. uiguafr- . - ^----- Subscription, $2.00. c.. febrroRiAi.. Please pay your subscription to Mr. T. B. Hollenshead. President Phinir.y of the Ga. R. R Las subscribed $300 to the A. E. A*C. It. R. What does the half dozen doubting Thomases think of that ? The day is not far distant when m expect to see' at least 10,000 bales of cotton sold in L'ncolnton. This re¬ mit will naturally follow the building of the A. E. and C. R. K. Gov. Stephens is greatly disap¬ pointing his friends in not dismissing from public service those subordinates upon whom so much suspicion rested concerning the corruption which the Legislature unearthed a little more than two years ago. He said : “He had concluded to make no changes.”— Washington Gazttc. Gov. Stephens like Collin’s ram has a' head of his own. It is a certain fact, that the building of the A. E. & C. R. R. is regarded by our people as a matter of prime neces¬ sity. They are anxious to sec the work begun, and are eager for its early eompletion. Every energy is now centered upon the enterprise and the company have an active and thorough going agent, Col. Mitchell, in the field making the last call for help before commencing the work of grading the Road. The argument as to the im¬ portance of the Road to Lincoln coun¬ ty, as as the other counties inler eated is exhausted, and we are now near the inauguration of this great work. It is a pleasure amounting al xaost to realization to believe that we me ao near the day of our redemption froth’a life of tribute-paying to the out ' side world, with but meagre compen¬ sating returns. For the last quarter of A century we have been growing poorer and poorer, while our more favored neighbors have advanced in wealth, importance and power. And this will continue to the bitter end as long aa we lag behind in commercial facilities. Our people see this and fast it with a severe experience. The of wealth is to increase, but tho tendency of poverty is.to still lower distress. Now when we are about to reverse the wheels of tips jugun^nt that threatens to crush us and about J to hitch on to the steam car of pro¬ gress, let every one who can, put his shoulder to the wheel and give a long - «"»* r- - need is an opportunity for develop ment. Give the young men and the young woniia of these counties a chance in life for they have not yet had it as they deserve, and as some have enjoyed in ante-bellum times. Open up to their view the outside world. Let them feel their individu¬ ality, any give them a stimulant for the exertion o! their strength and a new era will Boon dawn upon us, and its music will gladden the hearts and homes of generations yet unborn. .

'■ .* Pursuing the line of argument at the close of my last article, I refer now to the vast water power, which may he found on Savannah river, within the limits of Lincoln county. The first grand objective point is met at the Wallace mills. Strange to say, the proprietors have not had a scien¬ tific survey made of this valuable power. If this notice will induce ' them to do so, my sole object in direct¬ ing their attention to it will have been gained. This property years ago at¬ tracted the earnest consideration of General Toombs, who offered a large prica for it to the owners, but they re¬ fused to sell. The building of tho contemplated Road will certainly bring this property into market, and the idle waste of waters will he ar¬ rested in their ceaseless roll to the ocean, aud be successfully brought in¬ to requisition to answer the wants and demands of the age. There are many other points along the river the proper and successful utilization of which is only a question of short time. These will all be developed as soon as the Hoad is constructed, as to its construc¬ tion all doubts are removed. The country made the initiative step, the city has responded, the subscription list authorizes a commencement, and , aoou our energetic President will have the Engineer with compass and eltain at work. In the meantime Col. Mitchell, Soliciting Agent, is making the final canvass, and in a few weeks will return the result of his valuable labors, showing an amount sufficient for the grading of the entire route from Mayvillc to Eibcrton. This done the track-laving and equipment. with building necessary depots and stations will l>c duly attended to in their proper order and in due time. Then will the waste places be con¬ verted into garden gjtots, and the hearts of our people be made to re¬ joice. it. J. J.. Tirmai'ii Ta log. As the harvest is over and the end of the year approaches it is well to be¬ gin at once to lay plans for next year. He would indeed be something more than human who iias made no mis takes and a Fortunatus if he has en¬ tirely escaped every accident, mishsp or other eomce of loss. A wise man is ready to acknowledge error and profit by the failures as well as the success of the past. In truth, a failure, early in the pursuit of some new departure or even of a beaten path, is often as instructive and in the end as profitable as a fair measure of success, since such failure may involve but small im¬ mediate loss, but while at the same time effectually discouraging and for¬ bidding any further following of a Just now the reading farmers of the country are exercised about the ‘-Fur¬ man system" of farming as it is called, and doubtless thousands have deter mined to follow in bis footsteps next year. The gentleman is illustrating the theories and teachings of the bes: agricultural writers of the country who have been for years past attempting to induce farmers to adopt a system of nigh farming. In a natural quickness of perception and extraordinary ener gy of mind and body, Mr. Furman has advantages of a liberal education, hab its of study and investigation, and plenty of what merchants call nerve. He does not rely on his farm for a support, as he is also a lawyer as well as a farmer and is in the enjoyment of a good income from his practice. This undisputed success, thus fat, as a f irm¬ er under the intensive system, is doing more to encourage the extensive adop¬ tion of such system than all the tbeo ries and arguments that have been committed to paper in the last ten years. “Nothing succeeds like success” —“the proof of the pudding is in the eating,” are quaint and homely phrazes that express the idea. Mr. Furman has envolved no hew theory. He has read a good deal, talked with intelli¬ gent agriculturists, investigated the theories of plant and soil fertilization, until finally he was convinced in his mind, that high farming would pay , and with all the energy of an active mind and healthy body he has modi¬ fied theories to suit his own circum¬ stances and boldly put theory to the test of practice. His tuccess, so far, is phenomenal indeed, and even some advocates of intensive farming are in credulous. We hope be will be able to satisfy all doubters and lead the way to a general adoption of the substan¬ tial features of his methods.— Chris tian Index. GEORGIA SEWS.

The Atlanta Constitution has receiv¬ ed information that Bullock and other parties intererested are soon to take steps to bring the Georgia bond ques¬ tion up before the courts, in the hopes that they may recover some money on the bogus bonds. If Bullock ever ex pects this Commonwealth to honor their illegal peices of paper, illegally is¬ sued by him when he was “Governor,” and called “Georgia State Bonds,” he is most egregiously mistaken. The only way BuHockean get any money for his friends on those bonds will be for him to pay them himself. He is the only person in the n mo test degree re¬ sponsible. —Savannah News. A CR AMII ON THE RAI1A Two Collision* Near Union Point. Union Point, Ga., Nov. 30.—At 1 o’clock this morning, four miles below here, an tip freight train from Augusta, while backing down for a cub car which it had left atCrawfordville, came into collision with an up passenger train. A minute afterwards another up train ran into the sleeper of the passenger train. The collision oecured in a deep cut and on a curve of the road. Two engine* and several freight cars were wrecked. One of the engines exploded. All the passengers escaped injury. Jack Shop pard, a fireman, was painfully but not seriously hurt. Considering the circum¬ stances and the damage to the rolling stock, the escape from loss of life is re markable. The wreck will be removed to-day and trains will then run regu¬ larly .—Savannah News.
