THE CIIACES ISRIGKT. It is with pleasure that we add another correspondent on the subject of road. improvement. The interest " ' ?1x ? Vk/v mauiicstea snows wuai, , by persistently discussing a good thing, and the subject should not be allowed to rest until something substantial is done towards improving the roads. It is all very well to talk and write as a preliminary step, but we must go further. The work, the actual work on the roads must be acTho wrifpr has talked V AUV - wuh a great many people from diflercnt sections of tbe county, and no one has been found who opposes road improvement. Public sentiment is urquestionably in favor of duiug something, and if something- is not done in road improvement very soon, it wili I simply be, because.Jeadersbip is wanting and the people are not properly organized for the work. What is needed now is to briDg the people tonn f'nis vnrtr irsnrsrfant snbiect. and get them started on some sensible | and practicable plan for accomplish-1 ing the desired end. "* "5'-' makes some ver> valuable suggestions. Be approves of the plan of holdiug a road convention in August, acd suggests that the call should be made by* responsible citi/^ns, and to give it some official weight the intcndant of the town should have a hand la it. "We hope that the intendant will take notice of this. In this connection, we shall state that as some one must take the initiative we shall see to it that this call is made. The Neavs and Hek.\ld will thoroughly advertise the date, &c.f of the convention, both in its columns and through posters to be distributed throughout the county, and no charge will be made for the work. If this work shall in any way contribute to < ^ of fl-ift C/'-VlOTYiO thpn ffP I UC Vt liiv i.iv j vw?xs>-? ~ , shall be moie than paid. "S" makes some further suggestions as to how the roads should be worked. This is not premature, and we trust that it will put others to thinking about it. In "many places," he thinks, "new road beds should be laid out." You do not ha~e to travel very far in FaiilieUl County before this !act becomes very evident to you. In some places, it seems that our anc??tors preferred to go straight up a hill, when with less experditure of energy and less time they could have gone around it. Dirt roads like railroad; should be "laid out" with regard to the topography of the country. S thinks that this .mistake in running our Ko /V>rr??r?f Pfl fhf> [MVilV V?U Uv v?.^v,v? -j cxercise cf a let of common sense, and we arc inclined to agree with him, but if there is any doubt about it, the work should be done by a good civil engineer, who has a great deal of common sense in addition to bis professional knowledge. Again ha reminds us of the utter waste of time in piling up red clay. Exoerience confirms that such work is just that much labor practically thrown away. Then S warns as that politics should have nothing to do with the road question. We do not see how or why there should be any politics in it. The matter of improving oui roads is a plain business proposition; and as politics, as ihe word is now generally used, dees not deal with business, it would be wholly out ot pte^.e in a businesslike meeting. Let it be understood no~ that if politics plays auy part in the- road convention, it tHI be done without invitation. We have not, however, noted any disposition to ii'ject politics Into it, and as already said we can not conceive how it could be done. We shall undertake to sccure the signature of the intendant to the call, and publish it next week, if possible. In the meantime, we shall be glad to lif.ve cur corrcspo: dents sound their respective communities, and let us know the result cf their investigation. Toe changes for better roads are bright, we think. It is rot likely that large audiences will be present at the senatorial campaign meetiugs- Somehow, they do ili-on- o tj-ni- /-. ?!/?<* Dill' prople, both Reformers and those cuce called Conservatives, have got over their mad intoxication. The candidates may come to blows and tight like tigers, but we don't think members of the same family, the voters, will now fight and strike each o.li.r as they didv a few year- ago. The people, after seven \ears, have sob-jvc:1, ami they refu-e to receive any more intoxicant? irom ilie politician?. It is figniiicant that in former years the tirst campaign meeting was tame. auu the meetings became more and more excising a? the campaign progressed. This year, it looks as if things nave been reversed. i WILL EVANS OK ISiliV WITHDKAW. The senatorial race pre:^tit> <?ome peculiar features that ate m.-t easily understood. Evans. Irby and Mayfield all seem to be pretty much on the same platform s:> far as na.i.nalj issues are concerned. Irby charges that McLaurin has formed a cou;yisphacy with the Conservatives to defeat the Reform movement or Senator Tillman, the two being one anci the same thing in the cor.caption of Irby. He explains that ii2 <iid j ot run in 1-SOI because In did not want the Re form movement broken to pieces. Although be and Evan.? did not pull together at the time of the constitutional convention they seem to be in together now, and yet ihev are ostensibly opposing candidates for the same office. Maytleld, Irby and Evans are all attacking McLauriu's tariff views. While Irbv in one moment seeks to draw factional line3, in 'li" ,,,vt * <? st-rivoz fnr Conservative IUC 1IC-VV. liV 0C4*:wv .v,. _ - votes. The question has naturally arisen iu our mind, what will be the outcome of this rac?, a*ul what will be the attitude of the candidates towards each other. Certainly Evans, Irby and May field know that if they all stay in the race, it diminishes the ehances of cach in the election. Ic is all speculation, bat it would not surprise us if either Evaus or Irby, after they have canvassed the State and marshalled their corces, should withdraw. For instance, just before the primary Evans, after he Las wrought up some enthusiasm in his support, and creating some feeling sgain^t McLaurin, may withdraw, and in a card will say that he ai;d Irby stand on the same platform, which he will inter! pre. to mean the preservation of the ! Reform movement. He wi;l call at1 tention to the useless division of vo e* between himself aad Irby, and will ! pose as willing to make th; sacrifice by withdrawing in favor of "the trueblue" Reformer John L M. Irby. Or it may be thafc'Evans will stay in, j and Irby will retire. We may be ail wrong in our prognostication, but unless something of the kind is done, we must presume that Evans and ! Irby are engaged in a hopeless, use| less aud aimless struggle. We con fess that an office-hunter often see3 hope where the voter does not. It sometimes happens that 'when a man feels "a call from the people," nothing but a defeat will oonvince him that he is not going to be elected. His reason is blind. We all nave seen such cases, but whatever may be said of Senator Irby, he is a man of considerable power of organization, a powerful factor in political battles, aud we can hardly think he is "just trusting to luck." 1>??.5 Vinr-a Kaon CI1 h.

Every one admits the .necessity 01 better roads, and the people are beginning to see the benefits to be derived fr->ra good roads. They hare learned hosr Mecklenburg County in North Carolina has been greatly helped by road improvement. Land in that county has advanced in value since the roads were improved The same thing will happen i:i Fairtield County. The people, we believe, arc ripe for action. They reahz; tnat they can better afford (o pay a t?x to improve the public road* ihan to build railroads. "We endorse the suggestion /J Ka /tollori and I lliau Ik lUiiU VCIJU^li v/v VWJ4V/V* ? %. that representativas from every section of the county be sent to it. This convention could do a great deal towards crystaliziog public sentiment. The senatorial campaign began lively, full of personalities, invectives, onrl nhnsp nrtri rm a rerv low blmc. U?UV? ? ' . * Mr. Irby seemed to think *hat ihe people were as much iuteres ed as he n his' personal feelings towards different men in the State. In this he is very much mistaken. The people cf this State have had quite enough of this kind of thiug. They want to hear the issues, if there are any, discussed, and they want it done decently and in order. All the candidates; should strive to pitch the campaign ou a high plane, and the one who best succeeds in this will have the highest respect and confidence of the people. The day has passed, for the present at least, when mere clap-trap will elect a tnan to the United States Sena'e. PUSHING TO THE FRONT. The State, Julj, J.

Mr Kdlior: Cii iiutiooga, Teimestcc, is & city ot s -:nc- firry or sixty thousand inhabit ur nestling amorg the mountains on a oeautinu pmin ou ujc Tenuessce River, >vhicli winds about amongst t c mountains ami is so crooked ihat utiles? yon are&cqa&iu:ed with its geographical meanderiDgs you would neror iinagii_e that it could finalJy flow out northward into the Ohio. It is a fine, large navigat if:.. ble stream, ^juattanooga nab missionary Ridge on the east extending for many miles from north to south, and the name indicates its appearance, for it is literally a huge ridge, and seen from the city and plain below presents a grand view standing like a-j insurmountable bulwark between the city and danger from that side, bat it did not prove to be such against the modern appliances of war in tae days of the Southern Confederacy. Lookout Mountain stands south of the city, and rises up majestically from the edge of the river, which flows at its northern base, to the dizzy height of about sixteen hundred feet, and extends southward like the backbone of some prehi'toric monster, about eighty miles in lenghth. After my arrival in Chattanooga on Monday afternoon, the 28ch of June, as described in my last letter, I took a street electric car for this mountaia three miles distant, to see the sightfi. There are two trolley car railroads u]3 the steep sides of this enormons hill, designated as No. 1 and No. 2, both awfully steep, indeed to a nerrous, timid person toe ascent seeius ?iw gether frightfnl. I don't think I am specially "scarey;" bat when I arrived at the foot and looked up the trolley way, it appeared so steep, sd fearfully steep, that involuntarily the thought arose in my mind, what if the wire would break! Bat I saw at once it would not do to hesitate Ion* if I ?a3 to see what was at the top, so mustering courage I seated myself in the peculiarly constructed car, the seats of which are arranged at an onm-Trt onnf.-irminffni snrrjft mfiaSnrS at CilW^JV WUlWIUJlWp, - - . least.to the incline -of the mountain side, with my back Hp the hill and facing toward the foot. So you see the ascent is made backward, and you get a good view of the city and plain and the river below as you ascend. I went up on track &o. 1, whose engine that draws the cars is at the foot of the mountain, and this track is near the northern end of the mountain. All ?hnarr?! and wr heoriil to SO UDOn the distance to tlie .hotel at the top most be nearly a mile. The ascending and descending cars meet and pass exactly at the half-way point on a turnout track mide for the purpose. Unless something breaks, there is no danger of a collision; indeed the construction of the track is such that the mere possibility is precluded, and I was informed" that as an additional safeguard the cars are provided with electric clamps, that in case of accident would hold the wheels to the rails so as to be immoveable, thus absolute safety is as nearly attained^ as human ingenuity can command. This road leads up to "Point Hotel." J Here you may star.d on the veranda of the hotel and look down on the Tennessee River as iit runs its eerpent: like course, turning and winding un- j til it is lost to view- behind the moun-1 tains around whoss bares it flows. At the foot of Lookout Mountain it runs almost around a tract of land and forme a peninsular, which as viewed from the tx>int iust mentioned re sembles in shape ttie Indian moccasin or shoe, and lor this reason is called Moccasin Bend. I had imagined until I saw this that the name wa$ given because of the snake-liko winding of the river, but I soon saw my mistake. VVegarc now about sixteen hundred feet above the city, and the view is grand iodeed. From this elevation Missionary Ridge winch viewed from the valley below, 6eems * 3ry high, % - 1 -?A. i-A* dwindles airaysc j uiu niei^uiu^aui.u. Just immediately in rear of this hotel towers Point Lookout, a solid rock bluff, the highest point of the mountain, from which I was told you can see seven states, to wit, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina, and it is the only point in America from which so many states can be seen. It was occupied prior to November 25, 1863, by the Confederates as a signal station, but on that memorable day, the 8th Kentucky Regiment of the Union forces scaled the bluff and planted the Union flag on this rock. I verily believe that Lee and Jackson and Longstreet could have held Lookout Mountain against .a million men. They might possibly howa Koan ftnfl HfcarVftG ua* \> UWUU 4VU?VWU\*wv% out, but I never shall believe that held by them the place could have been "taken by assault. A narrow guage railway starts right at the south eod of the hotel, where we took a train and ran about three xiiles to the southern terminus at Natural- Bridge. This is a sand stone foundation about seventy-five feet long and four feet wide, under which there is a fine mountain spring of pure cold water.. Tbe bridge rests on .natural pieces of rock p.t each end and is perhaps seven feet high; at any rate a man of my height can walk erect under it. Just near this sprirg, perhaps fifty yards from the path, is to be seen a rosk j witb well defined forehead, eyes, nose, j month and chin, looking at that distant very much like a man's face. It reminded me of the* pictures I have seen of the Sphynx of Egypt, and it is called ''the old man of the mountains." On the western side of this narrow guage railway, (which is literally cutout in the side of the! mountain)] and si>out half a mila from its terminus, ana reacaea uy a ragged mountain path, is "Sunset Rock." A house has been built with its east side resting on th^ solid rock, j while its "west side or end rests on wooden pillars braced Jagainst the perpendicular face of the rock, the porch or piazza pulting out over it, where you can stand and look down for four hundred feet perpendicular, thonce the mountain side slants off to the valley far, fsr below. I stood there and locked and admired and wondered. It is said that on a clear evening it i* a scene never to be forgotten, to stand here and see the sun go down, I and I am prepared to believe it. From the station where we left the I train to walk down to Sunset Rock, [ three of us hired a carriage to take us around.tbrough the settlement on the ' mountain top. There are several I beautiful residences, and ja large hotel at the eastern summit called "Lookout I tnn," which is 305 feet long, lout stories hish and contains 350 rooms. I Just in front of this hotel No. 2 trolleyway reaches the summit of the moun' tain after an ascent of 4,750 feet, at an average grade of -S3 feet to the hundred; the steepest grade is 67 feet to the hundred, and its course is -almost a "irect line from bottom to top; indeed it seems to be as straight as an ar.-ow, and cm be seen for miles away. The engine which runs the cars on this incline is at the top of the mountain. I should have said that No 1 goes up at a curve, and is eaid to be the first cable incline ever built with ourves. No 1 was cDcstracted in 1887; No. 2 was built later at a cost of one hundred thousand dollars. Th? top of lookout Mountain is a fiae table land, and there are some lino onnlo nrr>Viarrta f"ViPcfnnt frcpo LI U Vy up^iv W* VilMk ViiVwlliUK UA. VVO abound, and they were in fall bloom. It was an exceedingly hot day that I went on the mountain, bat up there the breeze was so strong and cool till it was almost unpleasant. I saw a lady at the lookout Inn wrapped in a shawl. What a delightful place it must be to sleep 1 d)u't suppose a mosqnito ev. r heard of the place. But I must descend from these delectable Leighis and prepare for a trip to Chickamauga battlefield to-morrow morning. So returning to Point Hotel od the nairow guage, ;ve take our flight down the hill and I reach the city bef01 edark, get an early tapper anp go to bed, feeling well satisfied with~my afternoon trip.

A LETTER FROM GOV. NORTHEKN. Describes Service of Railroads, ami Deprecates the AVar on Them. Mr. Editor. You would oblige me by republishing t!.e letter of Governor Noil hern which expresses my sentiment now and ever. Respectfully, G. II. McMaster. To Editor of Atlanta Constitution: As a citizen o1 the state, l very greatly deprecate the undue, ceaseless and sensele->3 warfare constautly being made npon railr jads by some of our people. I cannot but believe that much of it is brought in a spirit of vindicfiveness; qoite as much more from an uuhuiy desire to obtain reduced transportation, regardlees of cost to :he railroads, as possibly the bulk of it ui.l be used for political purposes, betore the less thoughtful classes of our people. I am a most hearty advocate for the railroad commission. I believe in it just like L believe in the courts of the country, and for the same reasons* I strongly advocate the. control of railroads. I believe jast as firmiv in the vigorous control of the people. The state cannot afford to allow ruthless hands to tear down the strong structures built lor the bes: interests of the common good. The truth is, the people have already been allowed too much liberty to destroy, and while we are constantly harangued 8bout the wrongs committed by tbe railways, we ought occasionally to hear something of the evils attempted by the people. li nas ueeu cuusuimj j? uimu wonder to me that the railroads have not more aggressively asserted themselves," 2.and declined to render any service to anybody, except sncb as may be exclusively in rheir individual | interests. In spite of all the wars made upon jthem, they are doing more for tbe j good of he state than any other corpo' ration or cliss of our people. I ?na in [position to know, further, that they are doing: more ior me state man iue state, through its general assembly, has done lor itself. Outside of the individual efforts made by separate lines, the leading railways of this stale have put into my hands, for development of our resources, $1,000 for every $100 put into the hands of the commissioner of agriculture by the state, for our advertisement abroad. The railroads, theretore, are entitled to whatever good has come to the state through my efforts, in the location of people and the establishment of industries, largely increasing our tax values ~ 3 # oil anil llUlLI^ UUl'UL'UB iium an iuc Nothing has ever approached these results, from any other source or effort, in the state or by the state ijself. Yet, these corporations are vigorously and constantly fought by the people, whom they have so generously served in this and many other ways. The railroads have never declined or hesited to encourage, most liberally, every industry, institution or organization, that promises good to the common people. Recently, as heretofore, the friends of every literary and educational institution in the state have been transported by the railroads, at nominal cost, to college commencements and other pa blic entertainments. In this way the roads have, for many years, helped forward tne education 01 the people by lar;2[e contributions of their means aod money. For a quarter of a century and more the farmers of this state have been taken by the roads to their annual conventions absolutely without charge, ai (1 the amounts contributed is tnis way for the betterment of our farms and the improvement of our agriculture will go far into thousands of dollars. Yet, the farmers themselves do not hefitate, upon the slightest suptrt 4rrav thosp tlipir yvo^u bV Mi AM J kMvvv ?MV?* lideral benefactors, before the public for redres? and satisfaction. Without distinction as to denominations, the Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptist?, Episcopalians, Catholics and all other religious organizations in this state have only to name to the commissioner the date of their church assemblies to have granted to them most liberal rates of transportation to their conventions and conferences. In this way many thousands of dollars have been contributed by the roads to the elevation of the morals and the advancement of the civilization of our people, and yet, when did we ever hear a good word spoken for the rail roads by the good people who s'.aDd for right doing and for the troth ? It is absolutely impossible to cs;imate the vast amount of general go^d that has been accomplished by ihe railroads fnr f.hfi best, interests of Ihti stale along many other lines, hampered, \s they have been, by a continnal u: gging cn the part of the [ o> p!e whom they have most g -neronsly sought to serve. In my candid judgment the titne hascome in the history of our instiia:ions and the advancement of on? people wVion oVinnlrl r>all a hftlf. to nnnrh < > ? the unwarranted war that is being made upon these necessary facors foi strengthening the state.

It may be proper for me to say that the views herein exprcs-ed are in full accord with the very first public utterances 11 had tbe hon r and the pleasure to promulgate, upon my firs: installation into office fat the capita! of the state.

Cut the hospitality j of the good people is not wholly con- j fined to Confederate veterans. On the | centennial exposition grounds they' have erected and equipped an excellent, j well arranged "Emergency Ilospii.il," j to which any person accidentally hurt j or suddenly taken ill may go and be treated, nursed and cared for during the day, or until sufficiently restored or relieved to be taken home or sent to a regular hospital for treatment, free of charge. They do not keep any one overnight, unless it be a case that cannot be moved.
