BUSINESS ENTERPRIsE I'm GRoRGI,,

The following article, taken from the
New York B.dlstiab is published for the
special consideration of the people OF Aus
tin, and it will even do for others to con-
template:
The enterprising spirit which character
ICES the people of Georgia, even under the
most unpropitious and discouraging cir
cumstances, has fresh exempli6caiion in
two documents which lie before Us. One
relates TO the favorable progress Of arrange
ments for making Atlanta the seat of an
important cotton manufacture; the other
sets forth the capacity and advantages Of
the Augusta canal as Q means of the en-
couragement of manufacture especially of
cotton and weollen fabrics in all that sec
ton of the State. - -
First, as to the cotton factory IN Atlanta
the citizens, impressed with It's importance,
subscribed the necessary capital, directors
and officers were elected, q location selected
and the business of building factory Was
formally inaugurated on the fourth of July,
1875. Since that time the plans for build
ings have been decided upon, and the work
OF construction has since moved steadily.
The directors agree to erect buildings sufi-
cient for twenty thousand spindles at first
and put in machinery As fAst - the business
would warrant. The committee having the
enterprise in charge, We are told, gave very
careful attention 70 the estimates OF cost
and production, and compared them with
The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1876-03-30


detailed statements of the best mills in the
South, also with some of the Lest mills in
the North.
The plans for the arrangement of ma
chinery is such that il can be put in three
sections. The first section will have nine
hundred and seventy-two spindles and aux
iliary machinery. The second section
will he sufficient TO make up the number
To twelve thousand nine hundred aud six
" spindles, and the third will make a total
of twenty thousand seven hundred and
thirty-six spindles, five hundred looms and
auxiliary pickers, cards, 81 esders, etc,
which will produce twenty-four thousand
yards per day. The directors have decided
TO produce finer class of goods than are
now made in the South, and have adopted
rs q standard number eighteen yarn to four
yards of cloth to the pound. The machine
~ is arranged to produce eighteen to TWEEN
ty-four yarn, from which several grades of
goods can be made, probably not less than
ten different styles. The committee con-
clude their report by an appeal to capital
lists to come forward with their subscrip
tons necessary to make the enterprise a
great business success.
Next, as to the Augusta canal, which was
projected by few puDlIc-spi1ted citizens
and for the securing of an abundant sup
| ply of water for the city. The work was
commenced in lS45, and completed in the
early part of 1S47. In 1872 1t was resolved
TO enlarge its capacity, and that work was
practically completed in July last. The
length of the main canal or first level is
seven miles; including second and third
level, nine miles; depth of water, eleven
feet. The canal Is owned by the city OF
Augusta, and is at present under the con-
troll of the following board of managers {:
Hon. Charles Estes, president; John U.
Meyer, Thomas G. Barrette, Alexander
Philip and NJ. E. Hill. The location Of the
canal is in the heart of the embarrassing
region, and at one of the most important
inland markets for the staple in the country,
| together with the even temperature of the
climate, the moderate cost of living and the
abundance of labor, renders it peculiarly
adapted to the profitable manufacture of
cotton goods, as is evidenced In the success
of the Augusta, Graniteville and other fac
tories in that vicinity.
At time like this, when public atten-
ton everywhere is so largely directed 10 the
development of Southern industries, it is
certainly worth while watching the pro-
gress of enterprises of this character. as
they seem to offer not only desirable outlets
for capital, but also tempting opportunities
| for business men, which are not over plenti-
full in the more thoroughly worked States Of
the North and East.

Veterans, Take Notice.

AUSTIN, March 70, 1876.
At meeting of the executive committee
of the Texas Veteran Association, held on
the tenth of March, 1876, at Austin, it was
resolved that VIM. ]. Russell, Esq, vice
president of the association, be requested
to open correspondence with the several
railroads of Texas and request them to fur
nish tickets to the members of the associa.
ton to come to Austin to attend the annual
meeting on the twenty-first of April next
and to return home, upon the payment of
one fare only. VIM. ]. RUSSELL,
T.. NJ PEAsE, Chairman.
Secretary.

Ia connection with the above, I think it
we'll to state that at the annual meeting of
the association held at Houston in May last
it was determined not to name the place or
fix the time for holding the annual meeting
for 1876, but to impose that duty upon the
executive committee of the association !;
and, hence, in compliance with that duty,
the committee was called together 10y the
proper officer at Austin on the twenty-third
of February last, when it was determined
that the annual meeting for 1875 should be
held at the city of Austin on the twenty
first of April, 1876, and it was so published
l may be permitted to add, very respect
fully, the hope that the various railroads
will not be less liberal than heretofore, but
will grant the request embodied in the
above resolution. l trust the "Old Texas
Veterans" will, as far as they possibly Can,
respond to the call, and on that day, which,
IN peculiar sense, is the veterans day,
commemorate the glorious, the unmistaka-
BILE manifestations of Divine goodness in
favor of our oppressed people; that few,
| that band of brothers struggling for human
| liberty. The newspapers of the State
friendly to the Veterans land where is there
one that is notO will confer a favor by pub
fishing the above. Respectfully,
WIN. J. RUSSELL, V. P. T. V. A. q.
P. S.-Slnce writing the above, informa-
ton has reached me from the Houston and
Texas Central granting our request, and l
am encouraged to believe the same result
from the International and Great Northern.

KILLED IN LEE CoUNTY.-We learn from
a gentleman who resides at McDade that
two men, named Turk Turner and James
II. Crow, were killed in Lee county, few
miles from McDade, ON Wednesday of last
week. The circumstances are these: Two
beeves had been killed and skinned, and in
the absence of the parties who did it, the
carcasses were discovered, and watch kept
to see who would return to carry away the
beef and the hides. Finally the above par
ties returned with a wagon, and after hav-
ing loaded up and started away, they were
fred upon by unknown parties and both
killed. The bodies were found by son
of old man Crow, who had been sent
out to look for his father after he had re-
turned from school in the evening. The
remains were found several hundred yards
apart and the'team tied to a tree near which
the beeves had been killed. The marks and
brands ON the hides showed that the ami
mails were not the property of the men who
were hauling away the beef and the hides.
Turner had long been regarded as lawless,
dishonest character and desperate, but old
man Crow, though he had a son in the pen
itentiary, was not so regarded. The gen
tleman who furnishes US this information
says that in the last three or four months,
twelve persons, NIL thieves and desperadoss,
have been killed IN that country within a
radius of about twenty-five miles, and that
the gang has not yet been entirely wiped
out. - e. ~ ~ ssas ~ p

Tue lNTERNArtoNAL. = We cannot be-
lieve, as report says, that the International
proposes to extend the road from Rockdale
TO within twenty or thirty miles of this
city aud there make the terminus for year
or more. II it is the interest Of the com
pany to extend their road half way TO this
city, 1t is certainly also their interest to ex-
tend it at once to Austin. If the extension
is being made to secure trade which the
International has not heretofore enjoyed,
and which the Central has naturally at
tracted, then we argue that twenty-five OF
thirty miles extension Of that road will not
secure TO the International the object aimed
at, or at least but very meagre amount of
business more than it now gets with its
terminus at Rockdale, fifty-hve miles dis
tant from this city. We contend that the
trade and travel of this city and surround
ing country, as also that of the counties of
Blanco, Gillespie and portion Of Hays
which lies west and southwest of Austin,
aud the frontier posts still farther west,
can never go to the international till it is
completed to this point and that this trade
is more than double what the counties of
LampAsas,a Burnett aud Llano, with their
sparse population, can possibly afford, no
thinking person can assume to deny. The
trade of this city alone, with its fifteen
thousand consumers, is certsinly much
greater than that OF the several counties
named all put together, and hence the In
ternational Company cannot overlook that
fact or ignore the capital of Texas. The
very day the International ears begin run
ming TO a point few miles distant
from this city tina, day viii the Central nat
urally cut down its freight rates and offer
special Inducements TO local and distant
points. We believe q will pay the Inter
national Company 20 extend is road to Aus
tin, but that an extension OF half the dis
tanoe would prove poor investment. So
soon as their trains run to this city the mails
from the East, North aud West, and all the
express freight and passengers, will pass
over this, the shortest and most direot route,
as Win all the goods bought 10 St. Louis
and Chicago, and those purchased EAs,
as WE'LL II shipped by rail. Ii the In
ternationai can Afford to keep its sermi-
nus in wilderness for year or more, the
people Of this city and section can Afford

STABBED WHILE IN BED.-A most hor-
rible and bloody assault was committed on
the person of painter named Montgomery,
by man named McCleavy, Tuesday night,
in a house occupied by the two men and
their wives, near the court house. Nc
Cleavy had been arrested by the police, tried
and fined, AID in default of paying the
fine had been sent to the calaboose. Mont
gomery had been q witness against him, and,
on Tuesday night, McCleavy broke out of
the calaboose, and, thirsting for revenge,
prepared himself for the bloody work. He
armed himself with a long carving knife,
and, after taking his shoes off outside the
house, he turned the button that fastened
the door with the blade of the knife, and
stealing cautiously up to the bed where
Montgomery and his wife lay asleep, he
plunged the knife deep into the back OF
his victim, the point reaching even into one
lung and making wound terrible and
CHASTITY to behold. Mr.. and Mrs. Mont
gomery instantly made such resistance and
defense as lay in their power, and by some
means the lady got hold of the knife and
wrenched 1t from the demon, while hel
husband, though suffering from a wound
which will probably cost him his life,
fought with his fist, knocking Nc
Cleavy down several times. The cries
of murder and the confusion gener.
ally soon brought Deputy Sheriff Henry
Stokes to the spot, when the assassin was
arrested and taken to the dungeon, where
he awaits the punishment due such hide
Gus crime. The bed and floor was one mass
of blood, and such a spectacle was pre-
sented as seldom occurs to shock the sensi
biliues of sympathizing humanity. Mr..
Montgomery was able to sit up yesterday,
and he will most probably recover. Mrs.
Montgomery is almost overcome with grief,
and she and her husband have the sympa
thies of the entire community. Crime al
this time seems to be on the increase, and
the people will have to rise up in theil
might to put a stop to such frequent deed.
of blood and lawlessness. Let every mar
resolve in his own heart to use his mora
weight to bring such things to an end, and
if put upon jury, to give law-breaker'
and blood-spillers the full extent of thu
law. Austin, especially, cannot afford tt
let criminals go unpunlshed, as they have
| done in many instances before.

Extra L,abilllI co Malarial injection.

Extra Liability 10 Malarial Infection.
Persons whose blood is thin, digestion
weak and liver sluggish, are extra-liable to
the attacks of malarial disease. The most
triling exposure may, under such condi-
tons, infect a system which, if healthy,
would resist the miasmatic faint. The only
way to secure immunity from malaria IN
localities where it Is prevalent, Is to tone
and regulate the system by improving
weakened digestion, enriching the blood
and giving wholesome impetus to hillary
secretion. These results are accomplished
by nothing SO effectively as Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which long experience has
proved TO be the most reliable safeguard
against fever and ague and kindred dis
orders, as well as the best remedy for them.
The Bitters are, moreover, an excellent in
vigorant of the organs of urination, and an
active depurent, eliminating from the blood
those acrid impurities which originate rheu-
matte ailments.
