THE TENEhSsEB AND PACIFIC

RAIL VA
1t is stated ina pressdispatch from
Nashville, of the 31st, that ex-Gov
James d. Porter, President of the
Nashville and Chattanooga railroad,
was in New York, making financial
arrangements for the completion of
the Lebanon branchto Bristol, there
to connect with the Virginia line,
thus giving Nashville direct .connec-
ton with Norfolk and the seaboard.
This will be one of the most import
ant railroad events that has happen
ed in Tennessee for years, and the
early commencement of the work is
promised. Gov. Porter left New York
last Thursday, but was expected tore
turn in the course of week, when
il is believed his mission will be
crowned with success. The AnterjcdlI
is enthused over the prospect and
in an editorial reference to Governor
Porter's efforts to secure the imme-
diate completion of the important
line, destined when completed to be
the best paying road in the State,
gives this interesting bird's-eye view
of the country it will penetrate and
link together:
The country through which it
runs is. between Nashville and Leb-
anon, beyond Lebanon to the Cum
berland mountains, for the most part
exceedingly fertile and well adapted
to stock raising, wheat, tobacco and
grass. With limited connections
with market this is already very
productive region. Between Cum
berland mountains and Bristol sew
eral poor ridges are encountered, but
some of the most fertile of the lands
of East Tennessee are found in the
wide valleys and plains which lie
along the line it would take to Bris-
toll Besides productive lands to
provide heavy trade, it runs thro'
fifty miles of the best coal in the
State, through large deposits of iron
ore, through the coal oil regions Of
Tennessee, through large deposits of
zinc ore, which for want Of trans
portation have never been worked.
Taken as a great commercial link i'll
a transGontinental system, as a con
Meeting line between an Eastern sea
port and a great Western center, as
a local carrying road, as a coal and
iron road, no line ever projected in
the South possesses half its promise
in the future. Besides its cOnnec-
tons at Nashville it will connect
with tina Cincinnati Southern on the
Cumberland table land, with the
Louisville and Knoxville road east
of the mountains, at or near Clinton,
with the Morristown and Cumber-
land Gap, with the Rogersville
branch at or north of Rogersville,
all important feeding lines. x
In all the reconstructing, reorganiz-
alton and building of lines In the
South, no superior road has been
to the capital of the coun-
Try. The more closely and critical
y it is examined the more clearly its
value as an Investment will appear,
when backed as it is by
he great system which is ready to
stand behind it. If Gov Porter shall |
succeed he will accomplish for Ten
lessee and the middle South a work |
which will make him immortal, and |
We cannot doubt his success. He
las never failed in anything he I'M
lertoOk.

DENOCRA TIC HARNONY-1 CON-
SERTATTTE LETTER.
The following letter from Col. W
J. Sykes to A. NJ. Burney, Esq, cd
iror of the McMinnville Standard,
is couched in a spirit of Cancellation
and respect for the opinions of 9th
ers that can. only result in a reunion
OF the Democratic party if the mat
ter is viewed with the sagacious wis
dom it should be by the Democratic
party and if the same spirit and de-
sire to ignore past differences, that
animates the writer, is caught up
and made the general key note of pre-
paratiOns for the next State canvass.
The only hope of uniting the Dem
ocracy of Tennessee is by accepting
the finality of the 1908 settlement,
and such we believe is now the dis
position of many of the former sup.
porters of Savage and Wilson. In
fact, it is either to do this or have a
Republican legislature that will sus-
tain the settlement. The low tax
Democrats will make nothing by di-
viding the party, even on their IA
vorite hobby of low taxes. AT worst,
they can never make but one more
canvass. They will then be SO com
pletely destroyed they will never
try it again. The Democracy of the
State will unite upon the 1908 set
Element as a fnaIity and the Repub-
fcans, as Il party, will support it.
Does any sane man doubt this ? But
we are keeping the reader from Col.
SYkess earnest, excellent and time
ly letter:
COLUMBIA, April p, 1881
A. NJ. BURNEY, ESQ. Dear Sir
As YOU well know, | have been try
ing for years to bring about settle
ment of our State debt upon the very
best terms that could be obtained
for our people. / have at all times
been willing for any debt settlement
that might be agreed upon to be sub
mitted to the people in the only !
proper and constitutional method
But the question is now settled by !
Legislative enactment, and although |
not in the manner and upon the
terms | desire, yet it is a final set
Element, and any attempt to disturb |
it can only result in expense and in
jury to the people.
There are other measures of leg
islation to which weshouid now turn
our attention that viii save us more
than the whole of our State and coun-
~ taxes We can also devise ways
and means. 10 day this detb, which
will in reality be beneficial to our
people. Let us unite upon practical,
live issues, and not cling to the dead
past. Lam glad to say that even
under this settlement the taxation in
Tennessee, including State, county
and municipal, is less than in any
State in the Union, either North or
South. Let us forget and forgive
the past. elimination and recrim-
nation can now do no coed. This
is the only way to make the country
prosper as it should So far as am
concerned / will never again discuss
this State debt question, for there is
no use in discussing a settled ques-
ion.
Yousr truly, WIN. J. SYKES.

mail has been received on the Atehison and Ne

thought that both roads will be able to regular
trains but it may be longer before the Atehison and
Nebraska is in running order.
We managed to get last weeks Chief over the
County by sending the packages to different ponts,
and having them scattered from there. J. A. Ken

Offices in the upper part of the County. We may
have to do the same way, this week.
We have been getting our Eastern and Southern
mails by airline routes. From St. Joseph, the Eas
tern mails to the interior Of Iowa. thence to
Omaha thence by the Union Pacific to Grand Island,
and from Grand Island to Offices on the st. Joseph
and Western. From the South, the mails come from
St. Louis to Topeka, from there to Atchissn, from
Atehson out the Central Branch to Centrslia, from
Centralia by hack to Seneca, the st. Joseph and
Western. Occasionally mails are sent to and re-
ecved from Atehson ty persons going there on bus

mails for few days. and appreciate the difficult
ties of those having the business in charge

~ number of persons worked for several
nights, last week, getting people out OF Burr-oak
Bottom in boats. They blazed their way by hang
ing lanterns trees Mt certain distances on the
route to their landing place; and after getting
boat-load they would steer from one light to anoth-
or, until they reached the bluff. There was not
much fun in it, at tho time but still there was
something weird and romantic, to one who could ap
prcciats it, in being out on the raging waters, sever
al miles from land in the dead of night, and being
guided by these lights that to a stranger would
have seemed jack-o' lanterns.
