The ruilroads of the south are now in the midst
of a great revolution.
One of the greatest railroad movements ever
known will be achieved when the work aus
piciously begun of changing the gauge of some
thirteen thousand miles of railroad in the south
is completed.
A meeting of the representatives of the several
southern roads interested in the change of gauge
pepper, the bn’ance of cheap wheat dour colored

The higher grades, which aren't often retailed,
contain as much as one-half of real mustard. But
cream of tartar is the biggest swindle. A flftem
pound can of the low grade contains one pound
of tartaric acid and fourteen of terra alba. The
terra alba is a mild alkali and neutralizes the
effects of the acid. Higher grade ? of^Phe mixture
contain a trifle more tartaric acid.
“You probably think you've eaten some cinna

you haven’t. I don’t suppose there’s ten pounds
of cinnamon baik in the J.’nited States. What
parses for cinnamon is the bark of the cassia
tree. The article is also mixed with peas and
roast bran. I need not tell you about roast cof
fee; everybody knows about that. It's just the
same way through spices. If you could smuggle
yourself into the basement of Home spice mill you
would find bins of bran, peas; terra alba, etc.’’

on the line from Augusta to Milieu. The change

branches were changed, and by June first the
Central and its entire system will be narrowed

The people of Columbus are in the habit of
keeping cool. The fact that fifty thousand
pounds of ice is daily manufactured in the city is
a good incentive*toward keeping cool.
There are two ice manufactories in the city-
one with a capacity of five tons, the other of
twenty tons per day. .Messrs. E. M. Walsh Co.
inaugurated their ice establishment in order to
make tlieir own ice as an auxiliary to other de
partments of their establishment,but the demand
has constantly grown until they find it profitable
to manufacture for the public. The Columbus
ice and refrigerating company has probably one
of the most complete institutions of the kind in
the country. They have u capacity of twenty
tons a day and run up to full time. These two
institutions furnish the fifty or sixty retail deal
ers with all the ice they can sell.
Talking about ice leads to the consoling reflec
tion that Columbus is in the enjoyment of pecu
liar and refreshing privileges in the way of pur
chasing ice. Many remember, and only a few
years ago, when the usual price of ice was three
cents a pound, and when the crystal luxury was
a little scarce it ran up to five cents a pound.
During the last few years it has been sold at re
tail at half a cent a pound or ten pounds for a
nickel, delivered at your back door. If larger
quantities are wanted it retails for forty cents a
block of 100 pounds, and there are no indications
that it will he any higher than this. Before ice
was manufactured here, the lump of ice offered
to a customer for ten cents could be conveniently
carried in the palm of the hand, while a five cent
block was scarcely larger than a Bland dollur, ho
to speak, but that is changed now. A ten cent
piece of ice will last a family of six or seven all
day and night, while the nickle block is of re
spectable dimensions. It is easy to see how those
who buy their ice in small quantities are bene
fited by this great reduction in the price.
The Enquirkr-Sun had a long talk with Dr.
Banks, the president of the Columbus Ice and

It was a sad company of passengers who

day morning. The steamer left the wharf'at 7:30
o'clock carrying the remains of Mr. William But
ler. who will be interred in the Greenwood ceme
tery. Jackson county, Fla., to-morrow morning.
It is there that his wife and two sons are await
ing the resurrection morn. The remains were
accompanied by his three daughters, Mrs. T. 1L
Moore, Mrs. Dr. Tennille and Miss Annie Butler.
They were under the charge of Captain Moore,
his son-in-law, who has been very kind to this
good man in his declining years. Dr. Tennille
met the boat at Eufaula yesterday and will also
accompany tlie remains to their last resting place

a space of not less than five inches from the rail
that is to be moved in, so that when the change
is made the bearing of the track will not be (le
st royed.
A BIG UNDERTAKING.
It would strike one as a tremendous undertak
ing to attempt to change in two or three days the
gauge on a railroad from Columbus to Pekin,
Chinn, supposing that the rails were built on an
embankment across the Atlantic. But that is
about how far the total lines would reach if
stretched out end to end in one continuous line.
The change of gauge will, of coure, necessitate
the expenditure of a \ast amount of money, but
this will be compensated for many times over by
the immense advantages which will accrue from
the adoption of a uniform gauge throughout the
country.
The past week has been a busy one with the
the contractors on the Georgia Midland. The
grading is being pushed rapidly, and the foice
has been increased to do this work. Nothing is
being left undom to push the work as rapidly as
possible.

many people are under the impression that a
severe winter, such as we had last year, makes
plenty of ice. So it does; hut the effect on the
cost is very little. You see, ice is made in abun
dant quantities, no matter whether the winter is
hard or mild. It is not so much the quantity
of ice made that enters into the price as it is the
cost of storing it and the quantity that is stored.
There is not as much margin in ice as some peo
ple peem to think, although the raw material, so
to speak, costs nothing. The ice houses can a!-
ways get all they want. It is the cost of labor and
t lie freight -ates that regulate the price of ice. 1 j

these this season, and I don’t think there will be i
