SPECIAL NOTICE.
The grading has commenced, the
forces are in the fLld. Meet the call
for the second installment promptly.
No more pressing obligation rests upon
you than this.
Florida has 809 miles of railways
in operation and about 650 under con¬
struction. The completion of the nu¬
merous roads built and projected will
effect wonderful change in the condi¬
tion and prospects of that state which
hitherto has shown few signs of enter¬
prise .—Railway Age.
Pig iron has been reduced in New
York to $20 a ton for number one,and
$19 for number two, a decline of $4
mid $3 respectively in about six weeks.
Steel rails arc quoted in New York at
$38, and a sale at $37 is reported al¬
though not confirmed. The cost of
railway construction is now less than
lias been for years .—Railway Age
The Mexican Central railroad com¬
pany has 710 miles of road completed,
leaving 550 miles to build, which it is
expected will be done within a year.
It is stated that no less than 45,000
men arc at work on the four divisions
of the line. This one company has al¬
ready been a vast beuefit to Mexico
by furnishing employment for labor¬
ers and by opening up its territory to
the commercial world .—Railway Age.
—
The death of Mr. William Mason,
the veteran locomotivo builder, at the
age of 75 rears suggests a reflection
on the wonderful growth of the rail¬
ways .covered by a part only of a sin¬
gle lifetime. The first locomotive in
the United Staetes. began to turn its
wheels when Mr. Mason was hardly
twenty years old. He lived not only
to build hundreds oflocomotives him¬
self, but to see the day wljen no less
than 20,000 were in operation in the
United States, our first mile of rail¬
way having increased to well nigh
115,000 Elites. — Railway Age.
The horny handed agriculturists of
Wall gtrect, who have as usual been
indulging in the most gloomy predic¬
tions about the coming crops, arc lia¬
ble to be disappointed as usual. While
the season is remarkably backward
and the winter wheat crop in some
localities lias suffered, the prospect is
still good for a large production of
wheat, corn and other grain in most
section of the country. Meantime the
acreage, especially in the great west
and northwest has very largely in¬
creased, so that even with a considera¬
bly smaller production per acre this
year than last, the total yield will still
he very large. It is altogether too
early to begin to groan about poor
crops .—Railway Age.
M. de Lessep’s scheme to create au
inland sea in the desert of Sahara, to
he fed by a canal from the Mediter¬
ranean, is not such an immense pro¬
ject as' has been generally supposed.
Iustead of flooding the desert, making
a vast inland sea, de Lessep’s plan is
to dig a canal from the sea to some
part of the dosert, using the water for
irrigating the soil and thus making it
productive, and to dig a basin for an
inland lake with an area of about
2,500 square miles, which reduced to a
more comprehensive statement, equals
an extent of country 50 miles square.
He proposes to make the canal and
lake navigable for the largest vessels,
at an estimated costof$39,000,001 The
absorption of the amount of money
by the sands of an African desert will
have a much greater effect financially
upon the people directly interested in
the scheme, than any climatic distur¬
bance, caused by evaporation from the
lake, will have upon the Bedouins of
the desert .—Railway Age.
THE Alta s I'A AND ELDER
'TOY ROAD.
As to the Gauge-The Proper
Ronte-Ciood Advice to I,in*
colnton, Shoals and Danburg.
Editors Chronicle:
I have a few thoughts which I
would like to offer on the subject of
the contemplated railroad from Augus¬
ta to Elberton. I am not a stockhold¬
er but a well wisher to the enterprise,
and well acquainted with the country
through which the road will pass.
There seems to be some difference
of opinion about the gaugeof the track.
The narrow gauge costs less but does
not suit all purposes quite so well. It
would amount to partial blockade as
to barrier through freights, and would be a
to tbe road’s ever becoming
that connecting link in a “big thing,"
as its location seems to forebode it ought
to be. The question of possibility alone
should induce the stockholders to
»dopt the narrow gauge for their track.
If they can not possibly build a wide
gauge ‘hen take the narrow gauge. “A
rai'rcad of some sort” should be their
motto; but never take the second
choice nniil they are clearly convive td
it will be impossible to get ibe first
<W“b
The location of the road seems to be
a difficult problem to solve, There are
many things to be considerod in the
location of a railroad, but they seem to
resolve themselves into about three
classes; the difficulty and cost of build¬
ing, the amount of freight and travel
to be secured, a»d the chance of com¬
peting successfully wi‘h other lines af¬
ter completion. The first of these is
generally considered in connection
with the other two. For instance, il a
certain change of route increases the
cost of building twenty per cent., and
adds fifty per cent to the freight and
travel, it becomes the more economic¬
al route. These principles will be easi¬
ly understood with a little reflection.
Let us examine the application of these
principles a little further. Sometimes
a railroad is intended to develop the
general resources of a country, some
times certain places or circumstances
determine the location of a road: some
times the road determines tte location
of places. Augusta determined the lo
cation of the railroads terminating
there, because she was a place of impor
tance before a railroad was ever
thought of. Atlanta furnishes an ex
ample of the opposite kind. There nev
er would have been a city there if the
place had not been first marked out
by railroads.
Let us see how these natural laws
apply to the Augusta, Etberton and
Chicago Railroad. Are there any places
along the line or near it where the
road will authorize the building of a
town where none exists already? Yes,
at Anthony’s Shoals. The water pow
er will run thirty factories of a thou¬
sand horse power each, and employ
about five thousand hands. Of cours
that number of people, and the trade
which they Would probably draw to
the place, would naturally create a
town of ten thousand inhabitants be¬
fore many years. Then it seems to be
about demonstrated that the railroad
ought to go near enough the shoals
to furnish good transportation for this
prospective town. Are there any other
places on the route where the railroad
would probably develop a new town?
Observation answers no. Then let us
turn to the opposite point. Are there
any places along or near the route, of
sufficient importance, to determine the
location of the road? Yes, Lincolnton
and Danburg. Lincolnton is an old
town, contains a court house, and can
not be located as well as anywhere else
As there is no dispute as to the title of
that place to the location of the road
I shall not discuss that point any furth¬
er. It is admitted by every one, that
she deserves the road near enough to
furnish convenient transportation- As
to the claims of Danburg to a similar
advantage there seems to be as little
doubt aa to those of Lincolnton, when
both are properly understood. One has
a court house; the other has not. But
I think a court house and the sitting*
the Superior Court in a town would
add so little to the profits of a railroad
that the question is scarcely worth dis¬
cussing. It is the commerce of a place
which should attract a railroad to it.
A railroad must have daily support
and employment to make it profitable.
Commerce alone affords this.
Let us now examine the location
and prospects of Danburg as a com
mercial place. The location is health
ly and convenient. Two roads cross
in the place, making four approaches
to it, nearly at right angles. And the
four quadrants are so sub-divided that
it may be more properly said that eight
roads approach the place, instead of
four? There is no place anywhere
near to it, that could be made to com¬
pare with it in the number and con¬
venience of roads. One seldom sits down
in Danburg for half an hour without
seeing somebody come, go, or pass
through the place.. It has always been
the greatest place for business, to its
size, in the county. It has always
done more business than Lincolnton
whose right to the railroad is undisput¬
ed. It has already shipped more than
three thousand bales of cotton since
October. At that rate now, it would
control five times that amount with
railroad facilities. With a railroad,
Danburg would control one-third of
the produce of Wilkes county. For
those who know the place to predict
what the future of Danburg would be
with a railroad might appear incredi¬
ble to those who do not know the ex¬
tent of its business. With the amount
of export business Danburg now brings
in about three car loads of goods per
week; and it would be ten car loads
per week with a railroad. Thus it can
be seen how she would feed the road
from its infacy, and continue to in¬
crease its support year by year.
Somebody may ask: r, Co.uld not a
town be built somewhere between Dan¬
burg and the Savannah ri ver, and ig¬
nore Danburg?” Geography and to¬
pography answer, No. There is no
concentration of roada anywhere else;
neither is it possible there could be.
Danburg is a fixed place, a business
place, the only one possible, and cer
tauly entitled to control the location
of the railroad. A depot anywhere else
would be only a depot; it could not
become a market, or much of a busi¬
ness place. My readers can call to
mind many such places on railroads.
Some people think Danburg goes too
far in urging her claims to a depot
This seems to me to be a great error.
A depot there would be a greater ac¬
commodation to the people from there
to Savannah river than it would be in
two or three miles of the river. A de¬
pot there would be a market as well as
a shipping point. Not so anywhere
else. With a depot near the river, a
man would have to take his wagon and
haul his produce to the depot, then
take the train and go with it to Au¬
gusta, or somewhere else, to get what
he wants; and after it arrives take his
wagon and go after it. But if be had
a depot at Danburg, by taking one
hour longer with his wagon first ready
he could do the whole job at once.
With these views, it appears to me to
be the wisest policy for Lincolnton.
Shoals and Danburg to join hands and
co-operate together ; not oppose each
otter many way. I am not interest
ed in any of these places named; but
I believe it to be the true interest of
the company to respect all of them
equally. It s > occurs to me, at least
as an v Outsider.
OBITUARY.
Departed this life April 7,1883 little
Willie, youngest son of Mr.' Newton
and Mrs. Hattie Stevenson. Also on
the 23.-d of May, at the residence of
Mrs. Peyton Norman near Goshen, Lin¬
coln county, Ga., B tssie Stevenson in
the tenth year of her age. Seldom has
it been our lot to chronicle so sad a be¬
reavement. Twice in a few short
weeks, the “Angel of Djath” has enter¬
ed the happy family circle of our friends
and snatched from their loving embrace
two darling children. God pity the
strickened mourners. Wuat a dark
; 8 baduw is cast upon the hearth around
which their hopes and affections cen¬
' er • VVith loved ones still around
them, they will miss evermore those
two bright and sunny faces, think of
^he little graves on which their tears
have fallen, and the sun shines, and
where the storm beats, and the flowers
blossom and fade. May abundant
springs of consolation well forth from
the sacred oracles of God! May every
murmuring thought be quieted in the
blest assurance that the L ird has done
it.
It is wall with the children. All that
was most precious still lives. They
have fallen asleep in Jesus. Angels
have borne them upward to the pres¬
ence of Him who blessed little children
and said, “of such is the kingdom of
heaven.” They are beyond the reach
of sin, and sorrow, and death.
Was not that love indeed, which
took them so young, and folded them
to the Savior’s bosom, and sheltered
them evermore from the rude storms of
life. Blessed be G id for the light that
shines upon little graves. In the sweet
promises of the Gospel, the shadows
flee away, and the clouds that bung
gloomily and heavily over our path
are all tinged wih glory.
“They are not dead, but gone unto
that school
Where they no longer need our pocr
protection,
And Christ himself doth rule.
Safe from temptation, safe from sin’s
pollution,
They live whom we call dead.”
A Friend.
