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."

ject of a number of communications in
this paper, and we honestly believe
tbat if the agitation of the matter is
continued that good fruits will be the
result, 'ihe discussion should be kept
up, and not allowed to lag until the
object shall have been accomplished.
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

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

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.

A TRIP TO LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN*.

amongst t c mountains ami is so

with its geographical meanderiDgs
you would neror iinagii_e that it
could finalJy flow out northward into

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

the valley below, 6eems * 3ry high,

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

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

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

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

MORE ABOUT THE > ASII v'JLLE TKIP. |
Mr. Editor: I deem it due the good j
people of Nashville, Term., to say that |
they showed great kindness and bos- j
pitalily to old Confederate veterans, j
On almost every street of the city and
on both sides of the streets were to be j
seen flags and bunting on which were
printed in large letters ihe words:
''Welcome TJ. C. V." As it wa> in j
Richmond, so it was in Xaihviile, j
bountiful supplies of good, substantial j
food and hot coffee were provided for j
all veterans who cho=e to avail them-'
' ' i f* 1.7 ~ i
selves, tree 01 cnarge, ana xrcc
ings were also provided f;r lar^e i
numbers, and those who preferred to i
pay their own wav could get good >
meals at twenty-live cents, nicely !
cooked, and served in clean dishes and j
in decent rooms. 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

helpless, and was suffering intense
pain, almost amounting to agony.
I was directed to this place, and rny
p*in greatly relieved by the ki.id physician
injecting morphine and dresiing
externally. I remained tbere several
hours, till about dark, when I went
back to my room in the city much improved.
I remained in Nashville until Monday
3 a. m., when, being unable to
make any arrangement' with the rail
road officials by -which i couia stop
over on ray ticket, and being set in my
purpose to see Lookout Mountain and
the battlefield of Chickamau?a before
returning home, I purchased a round
trip ticket to Chattanooga and return.
Chattanooga is one hundred and liftyone
miles from Nashville by tfce Nashville,
Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway,
and there are many places of
interest along the way. l can oniy
mention a few: Murfreesboro is
aboui; thirty or thirty-live miles from
Nashville, llere a battle was fought
in 1SG3 between the Confederate forces
under Bragg and the Federals under
Rn-ecranz, in which the Confederates
wen a decidcd victory, but like all
eihei Confederate victories proved
Inii le=s, because thev had not men
ai.il mews to follow up their success.
I Siw several ot the old earthenworks j
ami forts, which were thrown up for j
the o.ca-ion; also saw the Federal i

wiili small marble slabs and the
grounds are neatlv kept. The Confederate
dead have been taken up and
intcrredj.ia the city cemetery. Murfreesboro*
contains a population of
abcut four thousand. Oa this line of
railroad is also situated the Noell
flouring mill, said to be the largest
single "mill in the world. Sometime

It is running again, but in different
hands.
At Cowan, some fifty or sixty miles
from Chattsnooga, a road branches off
and runs up the mountains to Scwanee
and Mont Eagle. Two points on the
mountain were pointed out to me as
the places last mentioned.
