Circular No. 1.
Mr.. W. n. Marshall having resigned, the office
OF superintendent is hereby abolished. Heads

port TO the second vice president.
S. H. HAWKINS.
President.
The Athens Bonner saws: DR.. Ed. New
ton is interesting himself in a new road.
which if built will be of great benefit to
Athens. The proposed railroad is to run
from Mount Carmel, S. c., to Tampa, Fla,
and is intended to give O more direct and
convenient connection with the gulf to
points in South Carolina and Georgia. w.
A. Gaines Of Mount Carmel is the chairman
OF the organization that is booming the new
road, and he reports favorable comments
upon it all along the proposed
route. 1t is exciting interest as far up as
Asheville. n. c. A gentleman Of promi-
nelcs in that city writes: 1T is a great
scheme. The railroad that can first go from
Asheville over into South Carolina, Georgia
and to Tampa will have millions in it.n
Abbeville. S. c., is in 1t and uuites heartily
In the enterprise. Different Georgia cities
are interesting themselves in the movement
aud everything promises well for the new
road.
A special sent out from TROY, Ala. Sat
over an order of the Central railroad. The
road has been pushing rapidly forward for
several months, and tho grading has about
reached Andalusia, fifty-two miles south of
Troy. The track has been laid sixteen
miles south Of Troy, and everything seemed
to be sailing along smoothly until Con-
tractor Strother received instructions to
ship all iron not put down to Savannah at
once. An EnQUirer-Sun reporter saw
President Banks of the Mobile
aud Girard in Columbus and asked
for further information. He thinks that
there is some temporary trouble between
the contractors and the railroad that will
soon be adjusted, after which the work
will again be pushed ahead. The Mobile
and Girard really has nothing to do with
the construction, but under the lease the
Central is to extend the line at an expense
not to increase the bonded debt or the road,
of Sl2, 800 per mile. One of the directors
saw Mr.. Strother recently, but the real
cause Of the trouble is not known.
One very important theory is that Col.
W. }. Van Kirk, of Pensacola, Fla, who
is furnishing the money has had some
trouble with Contractor Strother and he
has held back the pay. And it is also
rumored that Col DeBardlelade, the
Birmingham capitalist who was furnishing

the Mississippi and the Pacific began to
show Itself in congress. Between 1850 and
1850 giant strides were made by the incipi
enJ commonwealths of this part of the
country, and before Sumter was fired on
Minnesota, Oregon and Kansas had been
admitted. Under the census of 1860 the
ratio of 1888 was adopted. by which the
house was restored to its 1880 membership
of 240, with one added for good measure;
but none of the eastern states regained
their former number Of representatives.
New York indeed dropped back to 81, Penn
sylvania to "a, and Virginia to IL, while
Ohio came toward the front with 10, and
even Illinois with IA passed both Massa-
chusetts and Virginia.
About 1862 the house OF representa- yes
took possession of its new hall, the one
now occupied, and the ratio OF repre-
sentation was kept at such low
figure that the number of members
jumped to 1913. But one new state, West
Virginia, was about that time admitted,
and Illinois had moved up 50 that it was
only one member behind Ohio, and Mis-
souri, had taken fifth place, while several
other western states had passed Virginia
and Massachusetts,,
The census Of 1870 brought great changes.
West Virginia, Nevada and Nebraska
had been admitted, and the population
had increased 100000 so congress re
tanned the number of representatives very
nearly, and consequently increased the
ratio.
Under the census Of 1880 the ratio Of
representation was advanced from 1856, 200
to l52, 600, and the number of representa-
tives was increased to 325 During the last
decade the two Dakotas, Montana, Wash
ington, Idaho and Wyoming have been ad-
mitted to the Union, and now the ratio is
advanced to 10000, and the number Of
representatives to 1853. In 100 years the
ratio of representation has been multiplied
more than five times, so that a congress
man now has five times the number Of con
stituents his great-grandfather had, il his
eat-grandfather was in one of the early

federal congresses, and yet the total num-
Der Of representatives is three and one-half
times greater
When the present hall of the house of
representatives was constructed the wise
men said it would answer all requirements
made upon it for two centuries. Yet it is
now much crowded Two views are held
as to the best future policy. One is that
constituencies are becoming too large, and
the ratio of representation must not be in
creased, so that the number Of congress-
men may increase as the country gains
population. Should this course be adopted
the house twenty or thirty years hence
will consist OF 800 or more members, and
will be so large and unwieldy a body that
its methods will have to be changed radi-
caly. Those who advocate enlargement
of the house say the number Of constit-
uents is already so great that the member
who attends carefully to their wants is
nothing but an agent or department at
tOrney for his people, and that our house
Of representatives is the smallest in the
world in proportion 10 the number of in
habitants represented.
Among those who take the other view
and hold that the house is already un
wieldy, is the veteran Judge Holman, of In
diana. Mr. Holman is one Of three or foul
men now in congress who can remember
when the members of the house sat OF
benches, and no desks were used in tht
hall. That was in 1859 or 1860, when the
present ball was first used. In the rear OF
the benches large tables were placed for
the accommodation Of members who de.
sired 10 write letters, and the business of
those who occupied the benches was to
speak or listen.
Judge Holman's opinion is that the
house will very soon find it necessary to
return to the old benches, and abolish the
desks at which members now attend to
their correspondence address books aud
maps, and add TO the hubbub in a thousand
ways, so that even in its calmest moments
the hall is filed with a roar in which weak
voiced men are at a terrible DISADVANTAGE.
With the desks abolished the members
could be seated much nearer the speaker
than they now are, and with the i'm proved
order business could be transacted much
more speedily.
Judge Holman says every member has
a committee room with a table and drawer
in which TO keep his papers, and that the
desks now used are an abOmiuation and a
harm to the public business. He recalls
that in the old days the little drawers un-
der the benches were largely used as re-
ceptacles for pistols and other weapons,
and says more than one member, among
them Gen. Singleton, Of Mississippi, came
into the hOpse every morning and depos-
tied his revolver in the drawer before him.
