l Â¥4 Ed it time ago the public mind became aroused to the necessity of having an electric railway from Jackson to Detroit. Numerous capitatists were anxious to embark in the venture At 9.30 Tuesday morning, we found ourselves at the city of Jackson. Some Introductions made and over, the entire party soon found themselves comfortably seated in a Michigan central Pulman car. Tkis line is virtually a part of the yast 4â€"tracked system known as the New York Central. As compared with the accommodation provided by the G. . R. Canada Southern was tar in adyanrce for solid comtort. Interest in the railway was soon surpassed by the social character of the company who began to show as much gayety and happiness as any garty of picâ€" pickers released from the cares and duties of the even round of lite.

The company comprised the following wel!â€" known ladies and gentlemen : Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Scott, Listowel ; Mr. G. D. McTaggart, Clinton ; Mr. and, Mrs. Mcelaren, Stratford ; Mr. Jas. Linton, Orono ; Mr. and Mrs. Madill, Beayerton ; Mr. P. W. Stanhope and Missâ€"Stanhope, Mr. Wm. McGill, Mr. Dr. and Mrs. Jamieson, Miss Mcâ€" Kechnie and (+. McKechnic formed the quarteite and without any incident of note they arrivyed in Toronto, and after refreshing the inner manâ€"always a welcome feature to the travellerâ€" they soon found way to the head quarters of the National Portland Cement Company, and learned that adequate and generous arrangements had been made for the whole party, that a special car was engaged for them, and that they would start from the Union Station at 5 p. m., for Deâ€" troit, where they would rest for the night resuming their journey in the morning. Among these excursionists were a couple of pair of Durhamites, setting out to see the sights laid out for them in over 1000 milesâ€"of trayel to the Sunny South. The coach was fairly well filled at least to such an extent as to keep conductor Lavelle continually smiling. Off we were at last, leaving a morning somew hat bleak and dreary, with a stiff southâ€"eastern blowing, accompanied by a litle snow just enough to remind us of the old adage that when March comes in like a lamb it goes out like a lion, but though no ray of sunshine fell on the travellers. spirits in the main were light and hearts were happy either with anticiâ€" pation or reflection. Our purpose now is to follow up the Georgia travellers, koping for the others brighter skies when next they visit Durham. Monday Morning, March 31, was an active time at Durham Station. Right and left could be observed kent faces that were known to be absent for some time, students and teachers who had availed themselves of special excursion rates to visit friends and spend the jovous Easter holidays amid old friends, and surroundings, reviving _ cherished _ recollections. Cordial handshaking was observed on all sides, with a hearty manner which bespoke heart felt feelings. The Sunny South Notes OF A TRIP TO GEORGIA .

Long may this latter condition prevail as man was never made to embroil his hands in the lifeblood of his fellowman. Soon we enterthe State of Georgia, where the Lunid ramiinwine w s s 30 Hhekl iv. arrangements it had to be given up. Chattanooga has the appearance of a metal manufacturing town, and must have a lot of church goers as church spires sparkling in the bright sunshine, are numerous. 1 whiuh 4 Unnabinldicich o in Tennessee, No agricultural cnuntr;: apparently a mineral region, the soil being of a peculiar bismarck brown formation as if impregnated with iron, However we saw four ploughs at work, in each case drawn by one horse or mule. Then we plunged into a rugged region, rocks upon rocks eternal towerâ€" ing up hundreds of feet.â€". Tunnels are frequent where excavations become too expensive. _ Missionary ridge. where the Southereners â€" entrenched themâ€" selves during the Civil War became visible. It is well fartified on a rocky elevation of several hundred feet above the yvalley, By the strategy of a norâ€" thern general an attempt to cut off their retreat was nearly successful to the dismay of the Souchern army, For the first time since the party left. Toronto a ray of sunshine brightened | the face of nature, which as far as ‘ growth is concerned, is yet as back ward as BentincKk or Glenelg. _ ‘The party breakfasi«.d at Chattanooga at 10 a., m. Standard time, and would have liked to spend half an how for a ylimpse of its %ights. but as this would disarrange R. At 11.30 preparations were made for a new start on the line of the Cincinnatti and Northern R. R,. with the prospect of a straight run South of nearly 1000 miles, _ We are now passing through a more level stretch of country and one which if properly drained will respond liberally to the call of the husbandman, but if this is neglected, will bring in its trail malarial and other fevers that bad drainage is charged with. Within 100 miles of Cincinatti the Jand becomes undulating and therefore has the beneâ€" fit of natural drainage. Fall wheat and corn are bere the stapie articles on which the agriculturist relies, a better class of buildings becomes noticeable, doubtless due to the more generous nature of the soil. It will be interesting for the people of Durham to know that on the line from Detroit to Jackson there are 19 Railway bridges built entirely â€" of cement â€" concreteâ€"no metal. _ The conntry through which we passed beâ€" tween the two cities appears to be of yery mediam quality for agricultural purposes, and the buildings appeared to be of similar qualty. Ann Arbor, an important town passed, has great commercial professional atd manufacâ€" turing interests and its schools send out numerous finished scholars. Another very important place was passed which is a cregit to the state of Michigan for the large and handsome buildings they erected for the accomâ€" modation of the deserving poor. Let the County of Grey take a lesson and do likewise, _ With their party further augmented, start was made for Cement City and at 10 a. m., they arrived at the Staâ€" tion. Mr. Cowham‘s kind invitation to be shown through the works was accepted by the party, and without inconvenience they were shown the yarious departments of the great **Peninsular‘‘ works. Explanations were freely given and the party seemed to be apt pupils, for each of them owned shares either in this or in the still larger works of the National Portland Cement Co., in Durham, and this proved a stimulant to close attenâ€" tion. To do all this without a speck of dust was a feat worthy of note. but by some mears they failed to agree and as the result of a spirit of rivalry two lines were built, both of which are running parallel with the Canada Southern. Jackson has a population of about 30000, and‘ under the celebrated oaks of this place is recognized as the birthplace of the great Republican party. The State penitentiary with its 800 inmates is also located here.

The quarries and pits having been inspected, train time was near at hand and after examining the iron ore pit which when more fully developed is expected to furn out very valuable, they were driven to their car, which was continuously awaiting them. _ On the way a few of the party stopped to visit a typical negro house, and found it in the estimation of the inmates a yery conyvenient place. It is built about 4 feet above the ground and is set upon posts, but where the posts are is nut entirely enclosed, but in a crude manner is subdivided to suit the exigencies of the case. This basement has two apartments, one for the accommodaâ€" tion of the chickens, ducks and geese, the other for the hogs, with a little: primitive door in the floor of the houseâ€" just above the troughâ€"so that feeding is a very simple process, just open the I door and dump your feed. A happy family, hogs, chickens, ducks. pickanâ€" ninies, all mingling together. Nearing Lhe station a young bull was observed Portland Cemen t.,all t(Thev Ixaul-ed il-i)Ollt 1000 miles. This district like our own is in its infancy regarding the use and possibiliâ€" ties of Portland cement. The cities here can be loolkked for to supply a large consumptive demand. and the success of a Portiand $Cement Mill here is asâ€" sured for there are at least half a dozen states so siruated that the cost of carâ€" riage of northern cement will make it cheaper to buy near home especially when they have a first class article. The freight to Georgia at present | from the Lehigh Cement district is actually more than the cost of the cemâ€" ent, and we are informed on good auâ€" thority that several hundred thousand barvels of Portland Cement are annually used within a short radius of Atlanta, a district which will be tributary to the Rockmart plant when completed.

Arrived at the station 20 carriages were in waiting and the party were driven to the hotel and after dinner they were again lined up and all taken to inspect the stone and slate quarries. They are both of them immense deposâ€" its or formations of great depth and extent, and will, turn out to be very valuable when used for the purpose now being calculated upon. _ The stone is of a medium blue grey color intersâ€" persed with seams of marble and when tested yields the high figure of 94 per cent of pure carbonate of lime. The slate tests are also high and as the quantities of both are practically inexâ€" Rockmart is a village of about 500 people and like other places here the natives seem to be a docile, happy and contented people, l1ving cheaply, never exerting themsclves to any great exâ€" tent, the favoring hand of nature not requiring any great effort. Ploughing all done with one mule, the average depth of furrow being 3 inches. Cotton is the staple crop and is is usually hypothecated before it is picked. _ Laâ€" bor is cheap and a northerner without capital is not wanted here.

In this ‘‘negro problem" there is scope for the wisest statesmanship, We arrived at Rockmart at 1 p. m. having, during the forenoon, not obâ€" served one good farm on the whole trip, In fact we passed nothing but nonâ€"productive sand hills and red clay and would not consider 1000 acres of it as equal to 100 acres in (Grey, No signs of prosperity hore. the negro element in the majority, many of them as full blooded as when their forefathers left their native Africa. _ The young neâ€" groes, nicknamed "piccaninnies" seem to thoroughly enjoy life, skipping about on the sand hills. About lip. m. we passed a negro cabin where there took place a case of lynching last night, attended by 4000 people, How deplorable, what & lamâ€" and fresh, while the sun excelled himâ€" self. Until the entering of this state little difference could be observed in the advancement of vegetation to what we had left in Wellington and Grey. Fall wheat and grass looked as well there as here.. But now a change has becoms perceptible, we have just passed an orchard with the trees out in leaf. Now and agsin we pass through clumps of scrubby pine of little use for any purâ€" Eose. Hardwood trees in the bush ave little of a spring appearance, farm houses. and outbuildings _ are poor. mostly. small wooden affairs. The country is again getting hilly and streams not as sluggish. The road we are now on from Chatanooga to Rockâ€" mart (where the ftamous Cement Mill is to be) is a historical section of Uncle Sam‘s country as we are now precisely covering the same route as Sherman dili in %fis famous march to the sea, where Joe Johnston, the Southern general, kept retreating before him, and which we in northern latitudes construed as breaking the backbone of the rebellion. Just passed the 8th plough going since entering Georgia, and the invariable one mule doing the work. Fences are of the snake rail variety but the bulk of the land is not fenced.

Here they met in deadly combat and fought one of the bloodiest battles of the war, and worthy . to be remembered in history. _ The people of Atlanta should hold in wholeâ€" some dread the horrors of civil war when father is arrayed against son and son against father with all the horrors ot famine, ruin and bloodshed in its trail, and look forward with interest to the time whena swords shall be beaten into ploughshares and spears into prunâ€" ing hooks and men shall learn war no more.

It is evidently a city of wealth, culture, and refinement as far as the white portion of the citizens is concerned. Sambo has to do the drudgery work and he numbers 40000 of ‘Atlanta‘s 100000. There is strong feeling here among a portion of the whites that the negro should be deprived of the right of his elective franchise, and consider they will then have hin just where they want him,. _ Many would go farther and think it a still greater udvn.ntage if they could deprive him of educational advantages also as the educated negro is looked upon as a most dangerous citizen and the hardest to make anyâ€" thing of, Visited a large wholesale dry goods store this afternoon, and the senior member of the firm pard yery special attention to us, showing us all through from basement to top flat. On the to flat we found about 100 young ladies, afl white, employed in the manufacture of clothing. Remarking to him on the absence of colored labor he informed us he dare not do othnerwise, for should he place even one negress among them, all hands would strike in less than 10 _minutes and that portiqn of his busiâ€" ness would be destroyed, Atlanta is a busy city showing no evidence of ths indolence which we are accustomed to think is a charaeteristic of southern latitudes, but perhaps when an intensely warm wave reaches them it may somewhat deaden their energies, The city has its fair share of churches, a nuion R.
