From Athens.

Mr.. EDITOR: Just now the citizens of
Athens are earnestly discussing the question
of new incorporation. Both sides have
some very warm advocates. Your cores
pendent being plain countryman is simply
a looker-on
Having a chartered school and no incor-
poration the four-mile law is in full force.
Under this statute no intoxicating liquors
can lawfully be sold within four miles of
the Wesleyan University, located here, ex-
cept upon the prescription of regular ply
stefan, and that must be in due course of
his practice. If the town is re-incOrpOrated
then it is believed the four-mile law would
become imperative, and any number of re-
| tail groceries would again spring into life,
so that vote for the new corporation is a
vote for new grocery as we'll And while
| there are some good and clever citizens
hero who believe are for the corporation in
| good faith. yet it is plain to any impartial
| observer that the real question involved is
not corporation or no incorporation, but is
! grocery or no grocery, free whisky or four
mile law.
For every violation of the four-mile
statute the dram-seller lays himself liable, if
indicted, to pay fine of not less than one
hundred dollars and to be imprisoned IN the
county jail not less than one nor more than
three months. Under this statute the grand
Jury has inqnisitorial power. If the fine IL
such cases is not paid or secured the party
can be required to work it out on the public
roads of the county.
The dram-seller, for every violation o.
evasion of this law, lays himself liable t
pay one hundred dollars and costs and 1t
very announcement, to say the least, for thu
dram drinker to feign sickness and to get
prescription every time he wants to tax
something, and hence their modest reques
of the good, order-loving, law-abidlng
Christian people of Athens is to organize
: new corporation and tax themselves to pa
the expenses therefor, the principal effee
, of which would be to restore the good oil
times when whisky was free and sold 6
, only five cents a glass. However, the pros
l pect at present is not at all promising tc
: free whisky in Athens. UMBRA.

ioyed an intellectual feast last night in the
way of a lecture from J. W. Caldwell, ESQ,

to us the noble and generous life of the

HAYNES & Henson's for Summer Hats.
Our Railroad Advantages.
Nashville American.


. Tennessee is an extraordinarily favored
State. Scarcely railway combination can
be formed east of the Mississippi, with the
South Atlantic or the Gulf ports for object
i've points, that Tennessee does not become
a point in the combination. We are only at
the beginning of the advantages to be de-
rived from this fact. Our position secures
for Tennessee, beyond all question, the
finest railway transportation III the South,
with access direct with more markets than
any other State can possibly obtain. 1t Is
strange, with this advantage, that there
should still be crOakers in Tennessee. The
future of the State is secured beyond all
question: and if the people will but take on
the livery of hope for that of fossilism and
despair five years will see Tennessee ahead
of any one of the surrounding States.
The American predicted the beginning of
the railway combination which is to bring
this about, and which began even sooner
than we expected. 1t is justified in predict
ing further results which will make those of
the past two years small by comparison.
Not that anything very startling will occur.
Perhaps no great scoops" Will be made.
Of course such movements are not impossi-
BILE; but it is the working out of the prob
lem, the perfecting old lines, their connec-
ton by supplemental lines, the building OF
new lines, the endeavors of other systems to
| gain access to Tennessee centers of trade, to
| tap her coal and iron mines and to share IL
her commerce that We look for further re-
! suits.
| The man is blind who can look at the
| field and fail to see the continued and whole
some development which is to go on in Ten
nessee from this point When we predicted
the movement of capital in the South and
the consolidation of lines from local tc
great through lines, we were expecting
cautious and not bold movements
rather contemplating gradual prr
chase and combination of Southern
roads, and Tennessee, perhaps, to bt
among the last to be added. While we
were looking for slow, cautious movement
capital was meditating bold descent upo1
the short lines, and struck at Tennessee al
the KEY to the whole field. This was wise
but not what one is justified in expecting O
capital We may be in error again as to thu
precise form in which the movement will pro
coed we cannot be mistaken as to thu
broad general fact. We think it entlrel.
safe to say that the movement on the par
of various interests seeking share in thu
growing prosperity of Tennessee, and tn
commerce which they must cross Tennes
see, or tap her existing systems, 10 OBTAIN
will be of more careful and less startling
| character than the great scoop" A piec'
of road will be built here, another bough
there, such centers as Nashville, Memphis
jackson, Knoxville, Chattanooga, tapped
by extending lines, and thus the movemen
will 60 on to work out its tremendous re
suits. which will be, generally stated, per
feet connection by direct lines of all parts O
Tennessee with all markets, North, South
East and West and of all parts of the Stat
with each other.
