EDITORIAL
Persons living In Wilkes who are;
indebted to us for subscription , to the
News will please either settle with Mr*
Steve Anderson, of Danburg, or remit
by registered* letter to this office.
The Knickerbocker Life Insurance
Company has failed and a receiver
has charge of assets.
We conjecture that the Railroad ,
will take in Lincolnton tome. In
a few days we will see.
It was reported on Wednesday that
the surveyors had reached the piney
woods, but this was a mistake.
It is estimated by good authority
that $40,000,000.00 will come to Geor¬
gia from (he North for investment this
year.
President Verdery writes us that
his Engineers are making fine head¬
way and that the. .grading will com¬
mence probably next week, as ehougli
of the road will by that time be defi¬
nitely located to authorize it'.
A brief little letter from Col.
Mitchell informs ns of his unabating
interest in our Railroad, and he en¬
courages ns with hopeful words. It
is a good thing to have among our
firm friends such pushing and ener¬
getic men as Col. Mitchell.
We are not prepared to say exactly
how far the Engineers have progressed
oh our Railroad. At the outset they
will encounter difficulties,
and especially in going through Co¬
lombia county will they have to delib¬
erate well in order that the heavy gra¬
ding there.may be as much as possi¬
ble circumscribed.
The Chronicle has always been one
of the leading journals in the State,
butol late it has actually surpassed
itself. An eight-page paper every day,
gotten up with great labor and skill,
with the rich charm of Mr. Ran¬
dall’s letters t> add a special
and peculiar interest to the other
editorials and the latest foreign
and domestic .news which it contains.
We are willing to have our predic¬
tion recorded that railroad building in
the South is how entering on its grand¬
est era. Some speak most fearfully
of crashes,.great crises and financial
collapse generally, but to our limited
medium of observation, from all we
can gather from the press of the whole
country, the prospect for prosperous
and rapid development is fair to view.
One bright clear morning this week
a distant whistle in the North west was
heard over our quiet village. On inqui¬
ry we ascertained that Capt. D. B.Cade
was at work on the Sale Gold mine
and that, whistle heralded the good
work. We itch with interest when the
Sale Gold mine is mentioned and the
days may come and the years may
go but one of these days we will own
a share in it.
The new year has thus far been one
of horrors. Let us briefly enumerate
a few of them. On the 2nd day of the
year 18 North Carolina convicts were
drowned, 85 persons were drowned in
Germai^y by the sinking of another
boat, 140 perished in the great floods
of Germany and Hungary. The City
of Brussels went down on the 6 th inst.
and 16 lives were lost. On the 7th
inst. 10 lives were lost in a colliery ex¬
plosion in Illinois. A day later a
British bark, burned at sea, involved
16' violent deaths. The Newhall
house was burned on the 10th, by
which about 80 lives were lost. Four
days later 268 persons were burned to
death in r a circus i.i Poland. Five
days later a gunpowder factory in Hol¬
land blew up, destroying 40 lives; and
now comes in rapid succession the dis¬
aster on the Southern Pacific road, 20
lives lost; the sinking of the Cimbria,
380 lives lost; the powder explosion
ot Point Clement, California, 30 Chi
hamen killed, and the Maryland rail
road horror in which, every person, fif¬
,
teen in number, on the ■ train, was
killed.—Atlanta Constitution.

As a natural sequence of events
transpiring in our midst, the tide of
improvement has set in with its cease
]eg8 of wb i c h are seen
Tb.p,o„*c. „i,.
road facilities at an early day has put
a new face on matters and things
here, and this hopeful change will
gradually * spread f and widen until
effects will be felt , , and . 6een in lines
radiating to the remotest corners of
the county- Citizens, with a view of
enjoying these central advantages of
railroad, school, church and daily
facilities, have located here, while oth
ers are prevented from lack of build
ing accommodations. The erection of
a few additional saw mills near us
would soon obviate this difficulty bj
supplying the large demands now
made for lumber and building mater-
ials. The first-class flour and grist
mill, soon to be erected here by some
of our most energetic citizens, will call
for the speedy inauguration of other
indispensable . .... industrial . , .
until the demands of the people and
the age will be fully met and the bene
fits accming promptly realized. 01
course the paying 0 success of all these
are predicated ,. j upon ... the building ,
the railroad. To the question, so
often asked, “Will the road be built?”
We answer, emphatically, yes! Noth
ing short of a disastrous destructive
panic can prevent it. The survey has
been commenced and will be pushed
to completion at the earliest possible
day. The locating and grading will
follow in quick succession and with
the utmost possible skill and despatch.
Our _ people ..... are displaying commenda- ,
ble zeal in offering to put upon the
road-bed, after the crops are laid by
all their available force. 500 or 1000
able-bodied men can work wonders in
one or two months and give an im
petus to the work which will be of
calculable benefit to those in charge of
construction. Work was not
menced as soon as expected. The rea¬
son is obvious, and white the delay oc
casioned by excessive and protracted
storms was unavoidable, it has been
turned to good account. Time has
* been afforded our ts-ja President and at*
gineer to make more complete and
satisfactory arrangements, and as their
well matured plans are being put in
operation, the benefits will be seen in
more thorough organization and speed
ier results. We are assured that in a
very short time the route will be per
manently located and the work of
grading commenced. The President
- *■*-?
their duties in the face of opposing
elements and have displayed abilities
commensurate with the task and a
zeal worthy of the enterprize and high
ly creditable to themselves. Let us
then, we the people, who are so much
interested in the success of the
prize, second the exertions made—by
promptly answering the calls for assess
ments, and if necessary by taking ad
ditional stock. Every additional share
taken will give additional encourage
ment and bring us nearer to final
cess. H. J. L.

Editor Lincolnton News: In the last
number of the News, you unintention
ally I know, did great injustice to the
mail carrier from Appling to
ton, Mr. Jno. Mumford. Under the
old English law. as laid down by Judge
Blackstone, a man was not responsible
for the act of God or the Kings ene
mies. I was at the Post-office on
Wednesday the 17th. inst., when Mr.
Mumford arrived from Appling, he
had very little mail, as the carrier
from Harlem had failed to make time,
and had forfeited his contract. Mr.
.ell
creek, hence having very small mail
for Lincolnton he turned back from
this office, since which time Little
River has been out of its banks, and
he has had to cross his mail, when at
all in a batteau. Mr. Mumford has
been a very faithful official, and has
risked his life to my knowledge, in the
di«h„ g , oi hi. do* . think h.,e
been more punctual, and I am sustain
ed in this statement by those interest
ed on his route. 1 ask you iu justice
te him to publish this statement . the
in
next issue of the News, as I know you
would not knowingly publish any¬
thing disparaging to the character of
a faithful official. I know it is trying
to have our mails delayed; but then
man proposes and God disposes, and
it will all be even in the end. Let us
not complain, probably it won’t rain so
much next summer, if so we might
complain at Providence for sending
drought to bum up our crops, as we
now feel sore hi Mumturd because
Providence baa seat an abundance of
rain by which be has been hindered
in his delivery of the mail.
Bespectfully,

W. G. Raoul was born in the Parish
of Livingston, July 4, 1843. He receiv
ed only a common school education.
Left school in his eighteenth year, and
engaged ardently in the service of the
Confederacy, joining the second com¬
pany of the battalion of the Washing¬
ton Artillery; participated in every en¬
gagement of his company for two
years, was detailed, on account of
his energetic administrative quali
ties, to the Quartermaster’s depart

his return home from Virginia, he set
to work to rebuild his father’s car shops
on the Jackson Railroad, which had
b«*n destroyed by the Federal troops
After these shops were rebuilt and put
O p erat i oni he became the cbeif raana
ager 0 f t h em , an( i continued in
sition until by the changeof ownership
of the Jackson Railroad, the shops lost
‘he business upon which they
ded.
Then, leaving his native State, he
em barked his fortunes in the more
promising and productive field of rail
road enterprise in the great State of
Georgia. Here his great capacity, ener¬
gy and administrative skill soon secur¬
ed him employment in several very re¬
8 n8 ible in the Geor¬
g j a Central, and, finally, on the retire
ment, on a liberal salary, of the Super
intendent of the road, in consequence
of ill-health, young Raoul was promo
ted to the vacancy. In this capacity he
>#rTed for 6everal year8i with con stant
|y increasing powers and responsibili*
ties, to the great satisfaction of directors
the stockholders and the public. From
**■ P? 8ition > I the 8olic itati “ s
of parties interested, he was induced . to
I rhe BUperintendeu cy 0 f the
| Southwestern Railroad. So marked was
the ability with which he ful filled the
duties of this position that the Geor¬
8 iae |e cte d bim ^ ice President
and General Manager of the Georgia
system of railroads. In this position
j he cont j nue d w i t h great activity and
energy to labor until the death of Col
VV. M. Wadley. the President of the
Georgia Central.
Al the of ^nuary, 1882, oi
^ directors of this company an issue was
wag mad6i and a vigorou8 baUle fought
nn the policy of Col. Wadley, in which
th; op'o itionto that polity waste 1 hy
Gen. E. P. Alexander, of the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad, whose ticket
triumphed in the election. The odmin
istration of the new directory was in
direct opposition to that advocated and
pursued by the late President Wadley
an ^ Captain Raoul. An effort was
by the new directory to encumber the
Ocean Stemship Company with
entures to the extent of five millions
dollars. This was the propositson
which had been steadily resisted by
Col. Wadley, who resigned the
dency ^ of the Ocean Steamship J f
thftn fix h , s e to 8l
obligations. On the death of Colonel
Wadley, which occured in August last,
the Board of directors elected General
Alexander to the vacancy for the un
expired term of the Presidency. Op
j p sed to the policy of a majority of the
board and of the p re8 ident, Captain
Raoul’s name was not brought forward
in opposition to General
a vigorous and determined opposition
Captain Raoul became the
and in the election held on the first
January last the result of this long and
bitter conte8t is the splendid victory
the board, led by this gallant and
young Louisianian.
Thus is exhibited the encouraging
and gratifying picture of a young Lou
isianian leaving his home, moneyless
an< * friendless, embarking in a new and
untried field of adventure and enter¬
prise, and starting in some enferiorand
humble capacity, working his way by
good conduct, fidelity and energy
through all the grades of railroad ser¬
vice and administration, and within
ten years reaching the Presidency of
the largest and richest corporation of
tbe South,the Central Railroad of Geor
gia.— N. 0. Timea-Demoerat.
Prohibition.
A great cause seems to have been
desperately w ounded bv the ill-advised
efforts of its friends. The experiment
usc KtoxS
tion has again failed. During the last
>' ear > in obedience to the demands of
the Prohibitionist, much of such legis¬
lation was adopted. To-day hardly any
of the result of their work remains.
The Pond law was speedily swept
from the statute books of Ohio, and
the Iowa amendment has just been de
clared null and void. In several States
the aggitation either failed in securing
violated. SSTpSE’’ £
openly In Kansas the cheif
prompter of prohibition met with an
overwhelming defeat in Novenyher,
and a pronouced enemy of the notwith- cause
was elected governor. But
standing those encouragements, activ is the
temperance seeking people are legislation as in Wis- ever

drunkenness and crime induced by
drink have steadily increased, and to

Everybody desires to see the evil of in¬
temperance eradicated. It does not
seem that prohibitory this legislation will

For Tea The ■d Dalian
{Atlanta Constitution.]
A singular suit was filed in the su¬
perior court yesterday. It appears
that the inmates of the' stockade have
a practical joke which they play upon
new comers. "The new comer is inida
ted. That is "to say he is treated to a
foretaste of what bad convicts get.
Charles E. Doster it appears wasinitia
ted after the usual fashion, to his com¬
plete disgust, and he accordingly
brings suit for damages. His petition,
which was filed yesterday, is as fol¬
To the superior court of said coun
ty : The petition of Charles E. Dos¬
ter shows that the city of Atlanta, a
munincipal corporation of said state,
and situated in said county, has dam¬
aged him ten thousand dollars.
For that on the night of the ISth
day of January, 1883 your petitioner
was arrested by the police of sa>d city
for being found drunk in the streets
of the same, and confined in the city
station house until the 15th day of
said month, when he was brought be¬
fore the recorder of said city, tried,
found guilty and senteuced by said re
corder to pay a fine of three
Your petitioner being unable to pay
said fine, he was removed by the offi
cers of said city to the place known as
the stockade and therein put to coer
cede labor for the term of six d iys, to
gether with other convicts under the
ordinances of said city, in crushing
stone for paving the streets of said
city, in order that your petitioner
might ‘hereby work out the fine afore¬
said according to certain of the ordi¬
nances aforesaid. Your petitioner and
the rest of said convicts being then
and there in the custody of a party of
men especially employed by said city
as guards, and it being the duty of said
guards to protect said convicts from
illegal harm and injury, and on the
day last aforesaid several of these con¬
victs who are colored men, not having
received any provocation whatever
from your peritioner, but saying they
intended to give him the initiation
commonly received by a convict upon
his first entrance into said stockade,
made an assault upon your petitioner
then and in said
overpowered him and beat him nice
barbarously and unmercifully with a
strap, commonly used by said guards
in correcting said convicts, striking
him many heavy blows, and inflicting
severe and painful wounds therewith .
Y. air petitioner shows that said guards
were then and there present whom he
implored to interfere in his behalf, but
they aided and abetti d said beatii g by
laughing at the same, failing to give
your petitioner the protection from in¬
jury to which he was entitled, at.d by
punishing said colored convicts with
said strap, and permitting its use upon
as aforesaid.
And your petitioner avers that said
corporation derives tevenue and profit
from working said convicts as afore¬
said, and that said cyrporation is lia¬
ble to your petitioner in the amount
aforesaid, upon the facts above reci¬
ted. Wherefore your petitioner brings
suits, and pray s process may issue re¬
quiring the city of Atlanta aforesaid
to be and appear at the next superior
court of <aid county, then and there U.
answer this petition.

suddenly Monday morning. Mr. J.
H. A’orman, a gentleman of the same
neighborhood died last night from an
overdose of chloral. Mr. James Bos¬

W. A. Ficklen, undermined by the re¬
cent rains, fell down on Saturday
morning white the family was ;.i
breakfast but fortunately no one was
injured. There has been shipped
from this depot since first of Septem¬
ber 12,000 bales <>f cotton, and it will
probably go to 16,000 before the sea
B on is over There are fnllv 1000
bales at Danburg locked up on ac
count () f the bad roads. Some of this,
however, is being shipped down the
Savannah river from Danburg. The
town is full of stockmen, and muter
bring from $130 to $175, aud are be

Christmas. His family here have
been quite uneasy about him since

A strong team of mules pulled out
of Augusta yesterday, and the engin¬

berton road were launched iu due
form. The equipment of the force,
while substantial and void of show, is

made, and Engineer Dwight has all
the advantage of the points gathered
in his recent ride over the route with
President Verdery a few weeks ago.
President Verdery informs the Even¬

is launched and ibe work really begun,
the friends of the road are enthusiastic
