THE NEWS, LINCOLNTON, GA., Jan. 12, 1883. Subscription, $2.00. EDITORIAL. Persons living in Wilkes who are indebted to us for subscription to the News will please either settle with Mr. 8teve Anderson, of Danburg, or remit by registered letter to this office. We thank the Chronicle & Consti¬ tutionalist for its beautiful almanac. We note with pleasure the election of J. Boyce Ficklen ag Tax Receiver and George L. Albea as Sheriff of Wilkes county. Such a beautiful place for the depot, grounds. We wonder how many times that remark will be made to Chief Engineer Dwight during the next month. Mr. J. S. Bussey, of the firm of Bussey 4 Carswell, i f Augusta, lias been visiting his father Mr. Nathan Bussey. He came up to see his rela¬ tives and take a weeks hunting. Wilkes county has been subjected to severe loss from fires recently. The last was the burning of the Gin house of Moses Darden, $1200 loss, supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. There are some bodies of original forest in our county all pine—a re markable thing for this section of Georgia. It is magnificent timber and will furnish sufficient crossties for the ' entire length of our Road. Youso Wiley DuBose, step-son of Mr. W. W. SimpsoD, cf Washington, mi seriously utnd perhaps mortally hurt in Troy, N. Y. last week while coasting. His mother and Dr. Jas. A Lane have gone on to attend him. It becomes our duty to threaten the mail carriers on our daily route with our intention to report them at head¬ quarters if their irregularity is not corrected. Not only has our mail of late been outrageously irregular aud delayed but some important matter has been lost altogether. -- Ws would not have minded the ir¬ regularity of our mails so much if we had not been set back so terribly in one particular. We had been doing our level best to keep up with the number of Gov. Stephens pardons, but now, four whole days behind, we can¬ not see how we can possibly catch up. Eyebything is quiet now, but it is simply the calm before the storm. Af¬ ter a week or two when our Railroad will be definitely located you may look for a move and a rush aud indeed it will be high time. Land will go whizzing way up yonder, and sharp sighted business will be keen to find the best business points. It is plain enough that great things are in store lor us. ' Judge B. F. Tatom is now receiv¬ ing and receipting for the first install¬ ment. Mr. Geo. W. Terry at Wash¬ ington and Mr. Jno. A. Sutton at Dan¬ burg are:doing likewise. Let the re¬ sponse be unanimously prompt. To de¬ lay in this most important matter will at once be seen to be embarrassing if not dangerous. We all want above all things the work to go on fast. S ■ come right along and let us have the Road at the earliest practicable mo¬ ment. President Verdery and Chief En¬ gineer Capt. Dwight arc taking a fly¬ ing trip over the route of our Road. They passed through Lincolnton Wed¬ nesday morning and hurried on to El¬ berton whence they will return and reach Augusta possibly to-morrow evening. Capt. Dwight wiil then take the field with his men and push the final survey right straight through. Mr. Verdery is the right sort of a Pres¬ ident. He does his duty and is moi e than equal to any impediment or emergency. Riding in the warm sun¬ shine, facing the biting wind and cold raiD, or braving the floods is all one to him when it comes to the A. E. & C. Railway. Among the material interests of this section which our R. R, will serve most rapidly to develop none perhaps will be more remarkable than that in the direction of opening up our gold, silver and lead mines. We have no¬ ticed with much pleasure the attention which the Magruder mine is attracting •broad and we hasten to indorse all that has been said of its immense wealth. But we firmly believe that the Sale mine will turn out to contain the richest beds and veins of gold of any mine perhaps in the State. This is no idle saying. As much as $1500 has been extracted in one day from thiamine and one piece of quariz weighing not over six pounds was tak¬ en out which contained $494 of pure gold. Through bad limi agemeht it j caved in not long ago and ho the work j ! wan discontinued. It will soon how ever be , resumed , under , tne direction o« , ; Capt. D. B. Cade, and the time is not distant when he will certainly reap the richest profits. A UGUSTA, ELBEBTOX d CUT C AGO BAIL WA YCOMPAXY. Officers. Jas. P. Verdery, President. II. *1. Lang, Vice-President.

I GEBSOBY “■ 4 ’ B ^ YIE IP (f - i ~' IS ' "' v- 1 - Old men tell ns tiiat in the whole course of their lives they have never experienced a more propitious crop year than 1882, wtth seasons favorable for tvery variety of products grown in this country. It so happened that in ^ f a q 0 f yggy an unprecedented! v large crop of small grain was planttd and the tremendous harvest of wheat aud oats which was reaped last saved the country as has been so often remarked. But the heavens smiled and the fall ot Its- ,, the largest , on in crops of b*3th corn and cotton ever made before have been gathered. It has been said bv some that the beads •»! agfain return to the old destructive and completely disastrous regime of planting T all cotton to the exclusion 0 f raising bread , and , meat . for , man and . beast. We have not participated iu this fear. The farmers have had such Immense crops to gather that titeir fall planting has been to some extent inter¬ fered with, but it is a fact that a large area of small grain has again been sown and they are still busy all around sowing more. It will be continued throughout the Spring and then ail will turn their attention to planting the rich bottom lands in corn. The truth is, the rich satisfaction which crops out of having full corn cribs, stacks of wheat arid oats and smoke houses filied with meat and lard has struck the fancies of our farmers, who for such a long and dreary time have been groveling slaves to the old system aud to the creSit system. AT WOBK AGAJX. Col. R- M. Mitchell, Soliciting Agent for the A. E. & C. Railway, has returned to his work and is now finishing up the country in most band eonie style. He has been in Lincoln for nearly two weeks and though the weather has at times been exceedingly inclement liia progress ‘ 0 has not mater; ally been interfered with. He works all the same. We cannot forbear again to emphasize what we have so often repeated, and that is the grcai importance and absolute necessity for all to do something towards building our Road. This is no enterprise fur the outside world to engage in, for the cspitali.it speculator to grasp at, but it is for the present a local’ affair, it is our affair. When we, all of us and each one of us have gone ahead and contributed our utmost according to our means to the accomplishment of the object, then there will be mouei forthcoming to assist us to its c imple tion. Let no man stand back at this critical time. Do something and d * not hesitate. Meet Col. Mitchell with a hearty grasp of welcome and with a subscription and help him to get more from your neighbors and friends. D * not forget for a moment that we the people are to run this machine. And when you have subscribed Come up to the call of President Verdery for in¬ stallments manfully and promptly All must have been long since con¬ vinced that business and business of the most earnest kind is meant by tin President and Directors and also b_v Augusta. They are going right ahead with the work, honestly meeting their obligations iu the matter and expect¬ ing us to stand squarely to purs. This we firmly believe all in this section are fully prepared to do, indeed as a gentleman remarked the other day, nothing will please us so well as to see our money expended on this Road. It is the richest investment we have ever partaken of, it will bear the richest profits, it will bring to us, our families and our children, comforts never en¬ joyed before, along with good spirits, renewed life and energy, wealth and prosperity. With thiaprospect before us it would indeed be a shocking thing if any stockholder in this county when called on by President Verdery should be found defaulting. Police to Stockholders.
