NEW RAILROAD CERTAIN.
Line Reaching Bethel Granite Quar-
ries TO Be Built at Once.

All uncertainty is removed-the railroad
to the Bethel granite quarries viii be
built, and that soon.
The COURIER is assured by parties who
know that plans have been perfected, a
decision reached, and the money is ready
to do the work.
Ground will be broken in about a fort
night, and the task pushed with very
| large force of laborers, so that the job may
be completed the latter part OF October.
The railroad will be built IN most
| thorough manner and so laid cut that no
grade will exceed three feet to the 100.
/ The largest locomotives of the Central
can easily make the ascent or the
descent, with heavy load behind. No
special engines adapted to grades will be
required. This means somewhat longer
line and a much heavier initial expense,
but the cost of maintenance and of hand
| ling traffic VIII be the minimum.
The exact route has not been fully de-
termined upon, but in general way is as
follows:-The railroad will branch off the
main line south OF the wood yard at Bethel
depot station, bearing toward the east.
II viii "slabn the west slope of the billy
range bounding the valley on that side,
creeping up constantly until, having run
down distance OF about two miles into
the town of Royalton, II reaches the crest
on the Roundy place. The granite quar-
ries are located little over three miles to
the northward near the crest of the same
ridge, and by following back along this
crest are reached by an easy ascent. A
switehbaek will be put in at the southern
most point where the height is attained.
The track will enter the quarry section on
the East Bethel side. The task of con-
struction presents no extraordinary diff |
culties. No bridges will be necessary,
only culverts.
The cost OF this branch railroad will be |
about 100000. The Central Vermont /
Railway company will build it, but other /
parties are interested in 1t.
The completion OF this road viii mark |
an epoch in the rapid development Of /
Bethel granite. 1t Will mean quick and I
cheap transportation of the
uncut stone from the quarries, where the
blocks can be swung from the derricks
right onto the cars, down TO the main
railroad line. At present, by team con-
veyance, it costs Il ton to land granite
in Bethel. BY rail it will cost not over zoe.
or 25c. ton. Much heavier stones can be
handled, too.
That there is confidence enough in
Bethel granite and its future to warrant
this heavy outlay means that nothing will
be left undone to increase its market or
make its merits better known. There are
push and capital enough behind Bethel
granite now to promise the fullest deyel-
)pment. The industry, favored by this
economical rail transportation, VIII un-
ioubtedly increase by leaps and bounds.

N eM Check List.

The selectmen have posted the names OF
/ those entitled to vote at the state election
/ next month. The board OF authority will
meet August Goth and Sept. Sd at the town
clerks office from to p. m. to revise the
list and add the names of those entitled to
be added and to administer the freeman's
oath to those entitled to and DESTROYS of
receiving the same.
As there has always been more or less
misunderstanding in regard TO the check
list and complaints OF names being left
off, perhaps word about the regulations
governing the same may not be amiss.
In the first place It is the duty of every
voter to see that his name is on the list as
through accident, mistake or misinforma-
tion names are undoubtedly left off that
should appear. No one can vote at the
September election whose name does not
appear on the list, and the list cannot be
corrected after midnight the Saturday be-
fore election, which occurs September 9Th.
The name Of any voter who has not
taken the freemans oath cannot be put on
the list; this fact should be needed partic-
uiarly by those coming of age since the
last election and to those who have m owed
into the state. Nor can any foreign born
citizen who has not been naturalized have
his name on the list
rbere has been a large shifting OF popu-
lation in the past two years and there are
undoubtedly many citizens now residing
in town who are qualified to have their
names entered upon the check list when
they have taken the freeman's oath.
Citizens OF other states coming to Yer
mont cannot vote in Vermont until they
have resided here year prior TO the cleo
tion and have taken the freeman's oath,
and it is further provided that If citizen
OF Vermont, duly qualified to vote in Yer
mont. removes out OF the state and resides
elsewhere and then returns to Vermont, he
is not entitled 10 vote until he has resided
in Vermont one year prior to the election
and taken the freeman's oath again,

OIL PAINTING OF LEE
COMES DOWN TODAY
For Thirty Years Picture Has Adorned Long
Room in City Exchange

The life size portrait of Gen. Robert
E. Lee, which has adorned the Long
Room at the City Exchange since 1871.
the year after Gen. Lees death, will
be moved to-day During the time
that the new City Hall is being con-
structed, the picture will be cared
for by the Georgia Historical Society.
The picture is one of the best oil
paintings of Lee in existence. Be-
sides the interest attached to it be-
cause of the reverence in which the
memory of Lee is held in the South.
the position it has so long occupied
in the old Exchange also makes it an
object of interest. 1t has looked down
on the sessions of Council for over
thirty years, and many of the notable
gatherings of the city have taken place
under it. Distinguished visitors from
all over the country have stood be-
meath it and admired the noble fig
ure.
The purchase of the picture by the
city was the result of a mass meeting
of citizens held shortly after Gen
Lees death. The death was formally
announced at a meeting of the Board
of Aldermen on Oct IL, 1870. Appro-
pirate resolutions were adopted, the
Council room was draped in black and
the bells of the city were all tolled
during the entire day on which the
interment took place. Mayor Screven
called public meeting to do honor
to the memory of the great soldier.
This meeting was subsequently held
in Johnson Square and a committee,
with Robert N. Gourdin as chairman
