THE NEWS, LUfCOLNTON, GA„ Jan. 5, 1883. BcnacRirrtON, $2.00. UAL. Fusiobkt Verdery will be en route in a few days with his engineers. Hon. Seaborn Reese, our able Bapfcaentative in Congress, is giving ua food work on the new mail routes proposed in this section. Georgia has been suffering recently from many fires, Washington, Augus¬ ta, Albany, Macon and other cities and towns have felt the strokes of this casualty.

We were not there mod saw it, but we will bet fifty cents to * ehincapin that Judge Wm. M. Reese was the first man in Georgia who saw entirely through Joe Brown's intended “Big Donation.” About thirty people have during ths last month gone from Elbert coun¬ ty to Texas. Mark our words, they will eertainly regret their move, and you will regret it too if you go. have been there, ve know whereof apt* Monet is not everything at last.

But the summer time will come again and with it Joe Brown’s ample smile, and the Legislature, that Legislature who-* constituency and their remotest gener¬ ations to come will heap eternal impre¬ cations on their heads and memories, where will it be ? What wo solemnly ask will be its attitude to ample, smile perchance his most wintry frown and when the summer days are come ? The occasion gives us pause. There are catastrophes so stupendous with impending woe as scarcely to be imagined and so will this be if per¬ chance he frowns. Imagine yourself if you can burning beneath the intense heat of a tropical sun, when suddenly, as quick as light, a temperature as bit ter as the farthest regions of the North is turned on your seething body. Such a situation cannot be imagined for death would inevitably ensue to the most robust constitution. Such we fear will be the lamentable fate of the Legislature if perchance Joe Brown frowns. We would not raise a false alarm, but we would not be a Georgia Legislator this summer for the world with all its empty honors—emp¬ ty honors. ON WITH TflE ROAD. • For many years a Railroad has been t j, e acknowledged chief want of Lin coin county. But having been at least once disappointed in securing rail facilities when they were deemed assured, Lincoln, last August, in pub¬ lic meeting assembled, resolved that the sum of $100,000 must be bona fide subscribed to the stock of the Augusta, Elberton <k Chicago Railway before any subscription would be binding on her people. It was generally admit¬ ted that the economical expenditure of that amount would assure the ulti mate construction of the road through the county. With more pleasure than express we announce now that over that sum was regularly eubscrib ed by Augusta and the counties of Lin¬ coln, Columbia, Wilkes and Elbert by the 16th of December last. An assess¬ ment of ten dollars a share has been called in, payable before or by ry 15 th and the Chief Engineer left Augusta on the 4th instant for a pre¬ liminary ride over the proposed route On his return a survey will be imme¬ diately made and so soon as the first mile is located the grading will begin in earnest. All of this work, it is use¬ less to say, will cost money. So the success of the enterprise rests at last with the subscribers for the stock. Hence we cannot too earnestly uige upon our people the vital importance of the prompt payment ot the install ments as they are called in. Every default in payment will delay the im¬ provement to the extent of the amount defaulted. Every payment should be made as early as practicable after no tice of its being wanted is given. Let there be no procrastination about this. Anticipate the payments by arranging for them before hand, and those who have ready fuuds sufficient to pay their stock in cash should deem it a privilege to do’so, as they will thus aid the enterprise beside securing for themselves a proper discount. Cash means power and enough financial power builds railways quickly and cheaply. Another subject, however, of first importance is this: No man ever supposed the grading >4 a road sixty five miles long could be done with $190,000. That was a preposterous idea indeed. Having secured a be¬ ginning of the enterprise, it is now the part of wisdom to foster it in every way. More money will be needed to protect the amounts already put in. The estimated cost of the grading from the connection with the Knox¬ ville road to Elberton is from $200,000 to $250,000; and, as we have beard many persons say they would take more stock if assured the railroad would come, they now have that as¬ surance and will be given the oppor¬ tunity to re-subscribe. The General Soliciting Agent left Augusta on Jan¬ uary 1st, and will soon be amongst us agaiu. He should be met with an open handed liberality. Lincoln county will have half of this railway in her borders. It will extend for thirty miles through the centre of the county. It will ex¬ tend double the distance in Lincoln as in any other of the counties. It will cost almost a quarter of a million dol lars to do the grading. Yet a close scanning of the names of subscribers shows that Lincoln has subscribed on¬ ly about $38,000 in good subscrip¬ wish tions. Does Lincoln county burden her sister counties with pense for her own benefit? We not believe she wishes to do any thing -i . e » ri. 1 Iff |**i. • <5 SIN t ... ! reputation of Lincoln e^umy p« > pie. Then, we assert that the advan¬ tages which will he derived by Un¬ building <.f thirty miles one half t"e road, in tTjis county i* wonh certain!. one fourtn the Cost of the gradii g By this rule, which is unexceptional, this county should increase her sub sciiption to fifty , if uot sixty thousand dollars. This is no time to mince matters. Prospects are bright for the road. A beginning has been made,. Let us push it to a successful ending. Therefore, when approached by the So¬ licitor, Mr. Mitchell, h.uies-ly put down on the subscription papers the amount he asks even if you have to sacrifice something to < b’ain the money. If the sacrifice does not over¬ weigh your prospective gam in the in¬ creased value of laud, etc., you stand just where you did before subscribing, plus rail lacilities as a clear profit Hence we say, let there be no step backward. We are in for a railway now and let us have it regardless ot the cost. This spirit wins always. Notice to Stockholders. Office of the Augusta, Elberton <fr CbieagoR. R.
