The Augusta Chronicle in advoca¬
cy of Judge William M. Reese as the
man to fill the vacancy in the Supreme
Court made by the death of Judge
Crawford, says:
Judge llecse has never been a seeker
after public oflicc. His qualities are
those of the modest man, and in many
crises of party as well as iu many
of State his advice has
been sound and his influence no less
effective because, privately exerted and
quietly sustained. Although Georgia, a power
with his people in middle
Judge Reese's strength in the present
race seems to be confined to no section
of the State. His name has proven
clearlv a tower of strength, and the
gratification of the Chronicle would

should the Legislature elevate to the
Supreme Bench of his native State

FresUeat.
Augusta Chronicle:
The following card has been receiv¬
ed from the president of the Augusta
Elberton aud Chicago Railroad, and
is an important part of the record of
the progress of that enterprise as it is
an emphatic bit of the literature of the
broad and narrow gauge discussion.
Editors Chronicle :
I am informed that Mr. 11. M. Mitch¬
ell recently represented to certain citi¬
zens of Wilkes and Lincoln counties
that I had about come over in favor
of a narrow gauge road to Elberton, or
words to that offeet. With the view
of correcting this report I beg leave to
state, through the colums of your pa¬
per, that Mr. Mitchell is mistaken. I
have at no time ever so expressed my¬
self, but on the contrary have steadily
maintained the importance of making
the road a broad gauge.
Were 1 endeavoring to shut Augus¬
ta off from the most direct route to
the markets of Cincinnati and Chica¬
go, or to retard the growth and dcvel
.opement at the counties of Lincoln,
Wilkes, Columbia and Elbert, I could
then advocate a narrow gauge road to
Elbeoton, but not otherwise.
Yours most truly, J. P. Verdery.

A. E.A C.R. It., Notes.
—Col. R. M. Mitchell lias enlisted
his services in the building of a nar¬
row gauge road from Augusta to
Sanders villc. We wish the Col. suc
cesss.
—In the interest excited by the
Stock Law, the Railroad in Lincoln
has been overshadowed. Next week,
however, the whole county will unite,
with renewed life, on its first love.
—The Richmond & Danville system
has been purchased by once of the
wealthiest syndicates in the country
What effect this will have on the A.
E. & C. remains to be seen, we clip
the following from the Augusta
Chronicle:
The most important railroad trans¬
action that has ever taken place in the
South, is reported to have consum¬
mated Friday. It is the purchase
the Richmond and Danville system
or rather a controlling interest in the
same, from General T. M. Logan and
his associates, by whom it has hereto¬
fore been held. The purchasing syn¬
dicate consists of George I. Seney,
George F. Baker, E. D. Fahnestock,
Calvin S. Brice, William P. Clyde and
General E. T. Thomas.
This is the same syndicate that is
behind the East Railroad, Tennessee, and Virginia
and Georgia organization that is the most
powerful hold of Southern has roads. ever
yet taken
Seney, Brice and Thomas represent
the old combination and the
Metropolitan National Bank. Scott is
of the firm of George S. Scott & Co.
Baker aud Fahnestock represent the
First National Bank of New York,
while Clyde is of the great shipping
house of William P. Clyde & Co.
The Ssprewc Coart Vacancy.
The campaign for judge seems to
narrow down to two candidates rather
than to increase in number. To-day
the race is between Maj »r W. S. Bas
singer, of Savannah, and Colonel Mark
H. Blanford, with two or three proba¬
ble candidates in the field. Judge
Reese and Judge Hillyer, both strong
men, have declined and the friends of
the two candidates are very active and
confident. There is no one that doubts
the fact that the race is between the
men above mentioned as it now stands.
The election will be held on next
Thursday, the 2d inat., and will ’.there¬
fore soon be settled. —Atlanta Constitu¬

A FLAK HAWED WHEREBY
THE ROAD CAM BE
Bt’ii/r,
Paid For and Controlled By the
Original Mo-V holders—An
Interesting Interview with
Cmpt. Eve, n IMreetor and
the I.argent Shnrehold
er.
A Chronicle man met in Augusta,
yesterday, Capt. Edgeworth Eve, one
of the largest landowners and perhaps
the most extensive and successful plan¬
ter of the county of Columbia—a law¬
yer who has turned bis attention for a
time from musty briefs and legal cob¬
webs to the more congenial pursuits of
the agriculturist; a country gentleman
now in every sense of the word, who,
fresh from his fields of cotton and corn,
is preparing to recuperate for a time at
that Southern seaside resort, Morehead
City. On the alert always for items of
interest for that numerous brotherhood
known as the “Can’t-get-awayClub,”
a. d knowing that Capt. Eve is a di¬
rector and the heaviest stockholder in
the proposed railway from Augusta to
Elberton, the Chronicle inserted its
gimlet thus:
“Capt. Eve, what is your opinion
concerning the gauge that should be
the Elberton line?”
“The narrow gauge by all means. It
useless to talk about making it any¬
else. We are not able to do so.
Besides, we can build a narrow gauge
and pay for, own and control it. And
then if after awhile, we find a broad
gauge is needed we will be in a better
condition to make it that than we are
now. I think we had better crawl to
Elberton before we attempt to jump—
clean to Chicago!”
“But, Captain, it is said that bonds
cannot be negotiated as readily on a
narrow as a broad gauge collateral?”
“Excuse me. But that is the merest
nonsense. Capitalists, as every sens!
ble man knows, look .first for an in¬
vestment that is safe and then for one
that will pay, and when they find
these two qualities combined in th
same eecurity they put tbeir capital
in it without hesitation, and witloui
regard to gauge. My e> p rience with
moneyed men is, that tuey would in¬
finitely prefer investing their funds in
a trainway that will earn dividends t<
investing in a gold plate six feet gauge
that will not pay. Is not this reason¬
able? But the proof that narrow gauge
bonds are easily negotiable is near at
hand. I am informed that a block of
the bonds of the Chester and Cheraa
narrow gauge was sold right here in
this city at 95 cents and at par. How
is that? But let me tell you you some
thing more. I have heard a “sugges¬
tion made to back the bonds of the
Augusta and Elberton Railway with a
landed collateral, and I think well of
it.”
“That is a good idea, you think?”
“Well, I think so You know the
great cantinental routes were built and
equipped with landed security, and the
land there is in no way comparable
with that which stretches between Au¬
gusta and Elberton.”
“How is it suggested to do this?”
“By giving land owners along
line double the present valuation
their lands in stock of the road for
sixth of the number of acres they
and putting the deeds in as
for the payment of the bonds. It
said by the gentlemaR who
this plan that the lands can be
cated, the road built and paid for
yet the land can be saved to the
owner.”
“That is a good plan, but will
“It appears to me that it will. But
let me give you the whole idea, and
then you can judge for yourself. The
lands bet wet n Augusta and Elberton
are valued tu-day perhaps at from $4
to $G an acre or 40,000 acres scattered
over the four counties might now be
sold in farm lots for $160,000. When
the railroad is operated, these lands will
be enhanced two-fold, that is they will
then be worth from $320,000 to $480,-
1 00. It is proposed to obtain deeds at
mce in payment for stock, allowing
each land-subscribers $8 to $11 an acre,
according to locatiou, only requiring
that tie lots shall be cut from the
tracts in one piece or body. This is
an advantageous offer to the landown¬
er, as he will exchange one-sixth of
his land for donble its present value
and know, too, that by operating of the
road his remaing five-sixths will be en¬
hanced doubly also, thus assuring him
a six fold return on the investment
and the control of the railway by the
original stockholders.
“How does it assure the control?”
“Wait a moment and I will txplain.
Backed by these deeds as collateral, it
is proposed to issue a sufficient num¬
ber of twenty-year bonds to realize
$300,000 or $320,000, to which amount
add the $125,000 already subscribed
aud $50,000 more which will, it is
thought, be invested by Augusta, and
it will thus be seen that it is prob&b'e
the authorities ot the Elberton road
would have inside of ten months $375,
000 or $525,000.”
“What is it proposed to do then?”
“With the ready money thus secur¬
ed, it is proposed to build and equip a
narrow gauge railway through to El
bertou quickly at a cost of $450,000 or $500,
000 as as one thousand hands
can do it. We all want the road as
expeditiously as we can get it, and
that is one great reason why so many
persons in the country favor the nar¬
row gauge.”
“Ilow is it proposed to save the
land to the original owner?”
“Well I will tell you. By the addi¬
tion of the Elberton and Toccoa narrow
gauge, fifty-three miles long,, to eighty
or eighty-three miles of the same gauge
from here to Elberton there will be
one hundred and thirty-three or a hun¬
dred and thirty-six miles of three feet
gauge road between Augusta and Toe
coa, and shorter lines than that pay
handsomely. Begin operating the
road as soon as a locomotive can ran
over the track, and the earnings of the
railway should pay the interest on the
bond*, while the sele of the lands at
the enhanaed will, pric* of five ten or fifteen
years hence perhaps, wipe out the
principal, In the meantime the land-'
can be kepi and cultivated by the pres-!
a .t owrers at a light rental, t a
amount to be agreed upon when the
deeds are given and the stock transfe. *
red, with this further agreement how
ever, that the lease can be annulled ».•
t-r three or five years have elapsed at
twelve months notice. Dispc.se of the
lands as rapidly as the original owners
shall wish to repurchase, whioh they
should be enabled to do by the sale of
of the stock when it reaches par; or it
they shall not wish to buy, then sell
the lands in farm lots to
thus populating the country by bring¬
ing into it new families, who, by their
labor, would augment the products
and of course the traffic of the line.
The influx of population will enhance
the value of farming lands equally as
much as the railroad will enhauce
them ; hence land owners may prefer
retaining their stock or selling it and
reinvesting in other property. Retire
the bonds by providing a sinking fund
from the amounts obtained for the
lands, and it is predicted that in less
that ten years with the enhancement
of reality, aud no land owner having
been hurt, that the road will be ready
to its bonded debt.”
“That is certainly a plan that de¬
mands serious consideration, and what
would result if it were carried out sue
cessfullyt”
“If successfully carried out,
every dollar put into the stock by the
original stockholders will be returned
them, the only question as to that be¬
ing will the road pay, and there is irre¬
futable evidence, in uiy opinion, that
narrow gauge lines will earn greater
dividends the broader gauges. Aud
how much better it is to be able to say
the road is there and paid for than to
point it and remark that it belongs to
• dhers than the original stockholders
The original stockholders of some
Georgia roads can appreciate the full
force of this. ”
“But if this plan for a
narrow gauge why is it not also fessa
ble for a broad gauge?”
“The reply is obvious. It is thought
that eighty thousand acres cannot be.
secured, while -forty thousand might
be gotten. A sixth of all the land ly¬
ing in six miles of the survey would
not perhaps amount to eighty thou¬
sand acres.”
“You think the plan should be tried ’
Captain?” think majority
“I do, and I a large
of the stockholders will be in favor ul
it too. If we can make it woik, we
shall certainly save the bonus usually
given to the bondholder and pay him
besides.”— A ugusta Chronicle.

Editor Lincolnton News:
Friend John.—T hinking perhaps
that the readers of the News would
like to hear from this part of the “mor¬
al vineyard,” suppose we pen them a
few lines to show them that we are still
living, and solid in these quarters for
the “no fence” which is coining soon,
in the sweet bye and bye.
We had visited upon us a splendid
rain last evening, and it filled us with
new life. It was sadly needed,though
we were not suffering as badly as some
of the surrounding country, for I was
over in Carolina two or three weeks
ago, about 15 or 16 miles from this
place, I saw a field of cott.n “as they
called it.” You brother farmers have
often heard of the old saying, “a bee
standing on the ground and sucking
the top blossom of the c tton.” But
in this field of about 40 or 50 acres the
Bee carries along a doodle to dig a hole,
so as to let him be on such an eleva¬
tion that be may get a chance at the
top blossom ; but I am afraid they are
digging too deep and there will be gu¬
ano in that honey.
My friend John W.and myself made
a flying trip to Augusta a few days
and had a jolly time, but “Holy
Moses” bow warm! We had a splen¬
did view of Broad stree from the rooms
that were assigned us, and casting our
our eyes far up and then down the
beautiful hot streets we saw men with
hose throwing water on the street car
track to prevent it from melting, thus
saving the company’s property. We
took our usual nap after dinner but
s- on awoke to find the bed and bureau
afloat in perspiration. After that we
kept ourselves in a refrigerator until
we left the city.
I was out a few evening since, bateau
riding, and was admiring some beauti¬
ful white cranes and I thought how
nice it would be to kill one and rob it
of its plumage. I made fast the boot
to a tree, and walked out on the hill to
the house of one loan of my hands his (tenants)
and asked the of He
went into the house and soon appear¬
ed with something on his shoulder that
resembled a large piece of piping like
I’ve seen at the Sale gold Mine. One
glance more and I was satisfied that it
was an old army musket, having the
iron ramrod, straps, etc. with the let¬
ters U. S. cut on the stock showed
i hat if it was mortal it “cculd a tale
unfold.” As he handed it over to me
he said; “Boss I ’spects you better hold
dat gun close for shea got a load in her
to kill some mans cow dat is opposing
de Stock Law; and she kicks like the
d—l sometimes.” I shouldered the gun
and was soon near the river bank where
I had left the “ white birds.” I peeped
through the cane, got myself in a good
position, backed one leg, took gc od
aim, shut both eyes, and pulled the
trigger. The g-r-e-a-t-Gehova where
was I? It took about half an hour for
me to find out where I was. When I
came to myself I was bent around a
pole that had been used for st icking
fodder about 40 yards from where I
took my position. I guess I did not
“hold her close;” she had kicked. When
! endeavered to uncoil myself tl e
breeoh which I thought was all that
stayed with me, sprang up and kicked
me again, and kicked me three or four
times after I was down, and I do b -
liere it would have killed me, had the
darkey not eotne to my rescue. Seram
b ing to my feet I found that "inf tool
iron ramrod" fastened about my waist
making a regular bow. It had not
made a fashionable knot like the ladies
of the present day use, for it was m t
long enough for that kind; but I guess
it was like they used iu ante-bellum
days. He soon untied the knot and I
was looking for the barrel or piece of
it when he told me that the barrel had
been home at least twenty minutes,
and that was the reason he was there
looking for the breech. Yon may ask
what became of the bird ? I was walk¬
ing along next, day over on the Point
and casting my eyes upward. I raw
part i f that bird hanging on the most
Heavenly prong of that revolving
swing. Now the swing bears a flag of
truce, and its epitaph shall be,
Peace to the Swing
Until next Spring.
Yours to onnt on,

Editor Lincolnton Netvs :
I thought that I would say no more
on the Stock Law. But there are two
things that strike me with force, and
1 think that it will do no harm to
mention
feeling that exists in the hearts of some
of our people. Now I don’t know how
it is with all of the no fence men, for 1
have not argued with them, as for my¬
self I know that I have nothing bin
the kindest feeling for every man in
this county, but it is not so with our
fence brethren. You argue with them,
and you will see their eyes begin 6 to
flash, and their voice to tremble, you
had better stop for they are getting
mad. A friend told me that there
was in bis neighborhood an old darkey
that was very sick in an old out house
by himself, and none of his color
would notice him because be was for
the Stock Law, so you see this feeling
is the too. Now this
is very wrong, we should discuss this
question just as we would any other,
and be willing to allow every man the
same privilege that we want ourselves,
for the no fence party is just as honest
in their convictions as the fence party
Then we should think well before wi
say evil things of our neghbors, for
one word or act might lay down a gap
that eternity alone can put up. Again
I was talking to a negro the other dav
that was a fence man, I ask him how
many cows he had,he said he had none
well how many hogs have you got, hi
said he had three, but he had them in ,
pen. I s'arted to ask him what he want
ed a fence for, but he got the start of
me and said, lie wanted no fence, and
if any body in the world < light to voti
for no feuce it was him and mars Ben
f >r I tell you the cows “have dom
ruined us now.” It was not long be
f ,re another one walked up. I asked
him how did lie stand on the fenc*
question, well boss I am for de fence
I asked him the same question how
many cows he had, he said none, well
how many hogs, he said that he had
none. I ask him what in the name of
common sense did he want with a fence
then, he seas I tell you boss they tell
me that there is something bad about
this Now Mr. Editor this i.
next thing that strikes me with force,
it is the way that some of our friend
are talking to these negroes. Surely
they know not what they do. I ask
them to stop and think before they
carry it too far. There has been more
devilment put in the negroes head in
the last few weeks than can be worked
out in the next two years to come, and
it is done by telling them some of the
grandest falsehoods that the human
mind can imagine, and there are a few
people in this connty county that is
responsible for the whole of it. Mind
how you talk to this people, lest you
do them more harm than the stock law
would every county in this State com¬
bined. If you care nothing for your¬
selves, I ask you for the good of tl e
farming interest of this county, and
your own wives and children and your
friends and their families to mind how’
you talk to these negroes. Cast not
your fuels before' swine less they turn
and rend you. Now please dont smile
behind your ears, and say that we are
getting uneasy for tell you we are no*,
and as our friend McDaniel would say,
if you can stand it. I tell you plainly
that the Stock Law is comiDg, and all
that think that they will have to leave
old Lincoln on this account bad as
well begin to catch their chickens, for
I tell you boys she is coming, and she
is coming from around the mountain
when she comes. I asked Tal Ross to
watch and see if he cannot see her
when she starts. Now Mr. Editor as
the most of the people admit this fact,
I move that all turn out to the election
aud make it unanimous. I am still
