THE NEWS, LINCOLNTON, GA., D.c 22.1882. StTBSCKlPTtO-V, $2.00. EDlTORIAI*. Please pay your subscription to Mr T. B. Hollenshead. UO LI DA Y. Next week being Christmas there will be no paper issued from this office. Printers have only two holiday sea tons a year—Christmas and the Fourth of July—and we are quite sure that our friends and patrons will not ob¬ ject to them taking rest and recreation at these times. II OX. M. P. REESE. The position taken by Hon. M. P. Reese, member of the Legislature from Wilkes, on the Brown donation bill which was before-the Legislature, was wise and patriotic, and should within itself entitle him to the lasting confi deuce and respeeAof his constituents and the people of Georgia. If Senator Brown wanted to do a patriotic deed he ought to have given the money without hanging around it so many conditions. Mr. Reese is one of Geor¬ gia’s brainest young men, aud we glory in bis opposition to this bill. i ’f -li A ^ [ Communicated .] i. 2T, & C. RAILROAD. Number Six. The Chronicle & Constitutionalist in a late issue publishes the fact that good bona fide subscriptions, amount¬ ing to $11)0,000—$60,009 $40,000 from city had the country, and from the been obtained, and that the building of the road was secured. This am >uni does not include recent subscriptions eecured by the Soliciting Agent during tbe past week. Daily we hear of new parties, wbo, convinced by the energy displayed* are eagerly seeking for the Agent, tq render in their amounts to swell the rapidly growing lists. At iainvited to the article alluded to, which it published in another col wnn. Since the last issue, the write) baa beard of another ohj-ction that baa been mooted in certain quarters Allusion is made to it, simply to ex poee its futility. Tbe objection is to tbe effect, that tbe first assessment wilt be consumed in surveying, the sec ond for something else, aud so with Vibe others,and thus the expended, whole sub scribed amount will be and at last, the road will be gobbled up add rnn by some powerful syndicate Grant for argument sake that this will so. The very fact that it assume it would fall into the hands of capi taliats, who are sAlc to make it a grand success, should, instead of being an objection, be a great cause for con gratulation. Wbat we want is a R til road. When we get it, why should we care, wbo controls it, or who runs it, so that we know that the controllers are good men, honest citizens, capable able, and trust worthy. If we desire t. sail across the ocean, what does it con¬ cern us whether Mr. A. or Mr. B. is the captain. Our concern should 1 e only to know that the captain was » skillful sea ifficer—that he had tin ability as well as prudence to see thai everything had been prepared for * successful trip, that he had provided and experienced pilot, employed com petent sailors, that his ship was *e.i worthy and safe, and that the lardei and pantry were perfect in their ap¬ pointments. 80 tbe objection vau ishes, for if good for anything, it furn¬ ishes a strong argument for the road is there reason for the utter¬ ance oi any such objection ? I an swer, none whatever. When the road is graded, ample means will be Lund to lay the track and furnish the equip¬ ments. This will be done in the same way that has been pursued by every known road. The city directors are men of known business habits and ex perience, and tbe country subscriber are willing to give them all the aid in their power, backed by an abiding faith and confidence in their practical ability, prudence, foresight and untir¬ ing 1 nergy. The great commendable feature in the business character ol our President is his great caution aud prudenoe. Like Davy Crockett, his motto is, “Be sure you are right, then go ahead.” His attention is now sole¬ ly directed to well-laying the founda¬ tion. The building of a Builroad is n. small matter. Every gap must be put up behind us, then we can go ahead in safety. This will be done, and thi sequel in tbe near future will clearly demonstrate that our predictions in this respect will be fulfilled to the let¬ ter. The days of doubts and object lions have passed away—and we begin now to realize that nothing short of a disastrous panic can intervene to pre¬ vent the building ol the road, in which our fondest hopes have been centered, and for which we have labored and will continue to labor, even unto it* final consummation and success. H?J. L. [Comm u ideated.] There is a prevailing opinion in the minds of many that the Georgia Rail roi.d Company will array itsslf in op position tt> any movement made to open up a competing line from Au¬ gusta to the West and hence that it looks with a jealous and disapproving eye upon tbe projected road fiom that city to Eiberton. Whatever may have been the former position assumed by the directors and stick-holders of the Georgia ltrilroad to this new line,there are now certainly many reus ms why they should not oppose it. It is doubt¬ ful whether this new liue would ever have injured the Georgia R tod ; but now since the lease of that road by the Central for a stipulated sum, it is cer¬ tain that the stock-holders of the Geor¬ gia lload will not be effi cted by ant new line to Augusta, and hence it is not natural that the directors should oppose it. This is shown tq be true since some of the said director have sub-ciibed liberally to the A. E. «£■ C. R. R. A few days ago the writer bad a conversation with some of the prom¬ inent officials of the Georgia Railroad, and among them was a leading direc¬ tor and one of the largest stock-holders in the road. “No,” said be, “youi road can iu no way injure ours—cer¬ tainly not the stock-holders, bee i use they are secured by the terms of the lease, ai d the business of the road it¬ self will not be damaged, because the new avenues of trade and travel open¬ ed up by your new road will create a corresponding demand for freight and passenger ‘ravel, which will be shared in a large measure by our road, and which will more than compensate us for any losses by your competition.” And this is true. The country through which this new road will run is rich in agriculturd, mineral and manufacturing resources and it will yield handsome returns not only to the road which penetrates it, but also to all the the roads that share its bu.-i ness. It is a matter of great surprise that this road has not been built be¬ fore this time. Two years ago we saw an engineer corps locating the line of a railroad from Mount Airy up through the most ruggtd portion of North-east Georgia by Tallulah Falls though a country whose scrawny inhabitants advertised ou a board, “Sidei” and Ktikes" for sale to the passing tourist, and we could not then immagine how a railroad could be built much less pay in such a country as that; but to¬ day the Iron Horse glides proudly by the “Kake and Aider” stands, and over the stones.which a few months ago rattled at the wheels of our lumbering stage coach. The people along the line of the A. E. & C. R. R. have not been very for¬ tunate in their farming operations for the past few years, many of them have old obligations to meet, and hence have not subscribed as liberally as they otherwise would have done; but they have done nobly themselves, and they ask .Augusta to help them. They feel towards that city vtry much a did the old darkey whose paddle broke in the swift current of a rising river just above the dam. He could not swim so he saw nothing hut inevitable death. So falling upon hit knees he cm d oil', “O Lord, ef you ever is gwine to help A'am now’s de time ! ’ And indeed Augusta can well afford to sub scribe largely to this road ; for the in¬ creased tide of trade poured iuto her markets through this line will more than repay her for any investment made in the new road. In the matter of wood alone Augusta will be greatly benefited. for the wooded regions through which the road will pass will furnish to her population cheap fuel and besides give employment to num¬ bers of persons in cutting and hauling Everything is now favorable for an early completion of the road—the pe<> pie are anxious and ready for it, the required amount of money has been subscribed, the surveyors are now haps locating the line, and it will not be long before we shall hear, aboard for Augusta.” Junius. A. E. AC. Augusta Paving the Way Witl» Solid Subscriptions to the Sew Koml—The I.lsls Swelling. The canvassing committee from the directory of the Augusta, Eiberton aud Chicago Railroad have been quietly ai work for several days. They have han¬ dled tbe subscription papers of this great enterprise with considerable tael and energy. They are now rewarded by noting how ‘he figures of their lisi are swelling up into handsome sums. The amount subscribed in the country has already reached $60 000. The city has so far contributed $40,000, ano these amounts are being rounded off and enlarged every day. The officers .if the road now feel confident of the success of tlieirenterprise, and nothing shortof a money panic or an earthquake dong the Savannah valley can prevent a satisfactory completion of this pr. j»ci The President and directors have a right to be encouraged They are talk i ig ftb.mt surveys, and in less than six Weeks will be negotiating for tbe right of way.— Augusta Chronicle A. E. & C. It. It. We have heard many of the most substantial citizens of the county ex press their sentiments concerning tin enterprise, and we have not a doub but that, when the proper time come* ■ Elbert will furnish all the funds nece* sary to grade the road from Broad rivi-i to Elbert m.
