Under this title, an editorial APP
|5eared in the Macon NerS, which is
published at Macon, Ga, giving an
account Of some of the great works
Pnga 5ed in by Col. Machen in that
State. The article makes mention
bf him as being at one time propri-
Btor of that paper and builder of
TWO railroads in that State, the
Middle Georgia and Atlantic and
he Macon & Northern. Here is
portion Of the editorial:
"Who but Machen would have
Undertaken the task of building Il
during such a period of
depression, and who but Machen
you'd have succeeded. The Ma
on & Northern and Middle GeOrg-
! & Atlantic are two of the most |
Dnspicuous monuments that he
as erected in Georgia to his fame
nd to to the prosperity and well
IRE of Georgia, and now in the old
Iomiuion he has reared another.

Railroad Notes.

We get the following railroad

changes:
Mr.. J. W. Rinehart, president of
tae e. & W. railroad, and Mr.. T. II.
Blackwell. leading director in the
same, arrived III Harrisonburg from
New York on Tuesday.
One of the most formidable piec-
es Of work on the line of the Ghes-
a reaAe & Western Railroad in
Rockingham county is a. trestle on
the Layman farm, about three miles
east Of Harrisonburg, nowin course
Of construction. This trestle will
be IN the neighborhood of one
thousand feet in length and it will
span a hollow about fifty-eight feet
below the level of the roadbed. Al
small detail of Ferguson's force is
levelling up the roadbed on the
eastern end. which is now ready for
the pile-driver A large quantity
OF brldg &c timber is already on the
and it is being mortised
and made ready for use as rapidly |
as it can be delivered. The trestle
will require about 100000 feet of
choice timber-the very best the
county affords-and by the time it
5 completed the road from that
POINT to Elkton will be practically
eady for track-laying. A large
'orce Of hands will be at work
here from BOW on, and it is
bought that with no unlooked-for
elay, The trestle can be completed
4 sixty days time.
Information has been received at

Good Roads Convention.

1t is predicted that the State
Good Roads Convention, which re-
Gently met at Richmond, will re-
suit in much general good. Great
Interest was manifested by most of
the counties in the State, many OF
them being represented by persons
having the good Of the country at
heart and the desire to see the Old
Dominion keep pace with her sister
States in this great movement
hon. b. B. Munford, of Rich
mond, made a most instructive and
entertaining address on Road I'M
provtment in Virginia" before the
association. He advocated couu-
tv tax, the minimum and maxi
mum to be fixed by the Legislature.
There should be, he thinks, a State
tax Of 5 cents on the 500, which,
under the new assessment, would
yield 1921 900, $4,000 of which
would come from cities, railroads
and banks, which fund should be
lpportioned among the counties
according to their mileage Of pub
lie roads. Hon. E. G. Harrison, of
New Jersey, made an address on
he improvement of the roads in
lis State. He was interrupted
With many questions by gentlemen
Who were deeply interested in the
ubject, and the answers he gave
we're always full of information.

Kirehart in Highland.

w. \. Rinehart, Esq, democrat
&c candidate for the House Of Del
,egates from this district, made a
flying trip through Highland and
Bath counties this week. He Ell
tered highland at William sville,
from thence to Mcdowell and Mon
terey, leaving the county by way
of the Back Creek Valley. Mr..
Rinehart seemed to regret very
much that he did not have more
time to spend with the good peo-
pie" of Highland; but he expressed
himself as being assured Of the
fact. from the hearty hand shakes
of the Highland Democrats 1t was
his pleasure to meet, that the Dem
,oerats of this county would not be
slow in discharging their obliga.
tons to him on the 9Th Of Novem-
Der. As far as we are able to as
certain, his trip through the coun-
ty did much good in arousing the
Democrats to action. After talk
ing with their candidate they rec
Ognized that he was a man in ev-
cry way worthy Of the trust impOs-
ed in him by his party. From his
talk and general appearance he I'M
presses one with the fact that he is
a man of real worth, a solid, prac-
tical business man. In taking care
of his private business affairs he
has shown great ability, and now
since he has made arrangements TO
lay aside all work Of private char
acter, he will devote his energy,
with his valuable experience, to-
ward doing good for the people he :
seeks to represent,
In the struggle of thirty years ,
lgo, Mr.. Rinehart took an active
part on the side of the Confeder- !
ties. He received a wound which 9
endered him unfit for farm work, o
md instead Of returning to his f
ather.s farm i'll Botetourt county, o
lie located in Allegheny county
where he has since lived, having y
ucceSsfully carried on the railroad =,
ontracting business. During his =.
Ihole life Mr.. Rinehart has been E,
launch Democrat. As a private r.
itizen he has done a great work in q,
he aid of Democracy fighting for T.
he principles he has always con- of
dered right, with the energy and j.
bility that has at all times been W
Of the man.

The Harrisonburg Free Press of
he 10th inst. contains the follow

The Harrison6urg Free Press of
the 10th inst. contains the follow
ling in its editorial columns:
1T is very evident that the time
is close at hand when we will know
where the Chesapeake & Western
railroad will cross the mountains
going westward out of Rocking
ham county. The fact that three
corps Of engineers are in the Shen-
andOah mountain hunting the best
line, is like bringing a fight to close
quarters. The &. & W. people are
retcent upon the subject, claiming,
as they have a right to, that they
will not know where the location
will be made until after cOmpari-
son of engineers reports. With
The vast accumulation Of material
ut this point, they would hardly
let it lay idle any length Of time.
Therefore in any issue of the Free
Press we may be able to tell our
leaders, that the contractors, with /
heir army Of men and teams, We're
moving into any Of the Shcnando-
III mountain passes to begin their
mountain winter work.
