uuliiv Outlook 1 .>r the Future,
“Good morning, Mr. Brown.”
I “How are you ,young man; what are you up to
down here?”
“After the news and want to tell the twenty
thousand readers of the Enquirbb-Bun what is
i going on at the largest iron works south of Rich-
' inond.”
j “Go in the office and see George: he does the
talking for this institution, and will take pleasure
in giving you all the information you want.”
So with the Invitation from Mr. Riley Brown,
the president of the Columbus Iron Works com
pany, the newspaper scribe went in search of
Capt. George B. Whiteside, the efficient and
affable secretary and treasurer of the institution.
The Enquirbr-Sun found him with a stack of
letters piled before him, but be Is never too busy
to give Information, and after “passing the com
pliments ofthe season,” remarked:
“Captain, the Enquirer-Sun wants to let the
people know what you are doing at the iron
works ?”
“For my part of it,” said ho, “I’m answering
letters. Take n peep at that pile and you’ll find
correspondence in regard to various things, from
building a steamboat down to a plow stock.”
“Do you build steam Ik iats
“Ob. yes. We build steamboats and manufac
ture steam engines, saw mills, mill and gin gear
ing. syrup kettles, cane mills, pumps, pulleys,
hollow ware, shafting hangers, iron screw cotton
presses, calender rolls, plows, plow stocks, and
almost any variety of agricultural implements.”
“There must be several departments ?”
“We have ten ora dozen diiferentdepartments.
Let’s see,’’ counting on his fingers, “there is the
machine shop, blacksmith shop, boiler shop, pat
tern shop, foundry shop. Southern plow company
si op.”
“Any more ‘■hops?”
“No; but we have a lumber yard and a planing
mill. In addition to the things mentioned, we
deal in circular saw s, water, gas and steam pipe
fittings, cotton gins, inspirators, corn mills, sa.-h, !
doors, blinds, lime, and many other things.”
“What is the amount of raw material eoiisum-
other alderman who said that he saw no reason
in the world why the cows should run at large in
the streets, while there were many reasons why
they should not do so.
Crossing the street on the way to the office we
met another alderman and asked him if he had
I heurd anything about introducing a cow ordi
nance.
“Yes." said he. “and it ought to be done and
passed. I am in favor of it, and from what I car.
j learn there are enough of theu Idermen inclined
! to the same way of thinking to pass the or
dinance. 1 shall certainly vote for it and use my
influence in that direction.*’
There is no doubt that a resolution to that
effect wili be introduced, and from conversations
held with different aldermen, we have no doubt
ofthe result. We have for some time thought
that the cows should be taken from the streets.
The damage done by prowling cows amounts to
more than enough to keep them up and feed
them, to say nothing of the danger and difficul
ties to which ladies and children are subjected.
THK COST OF THE COURT.
Row Mach Money it Takes to Carry on the Superior
Court One Meek—If hat the (omit) in the
I Way of the Mount of the Prisoner*.
i The term of Muscogee superior court is vir-
j tually at an end. Only the grand jury was in
| session yesterday, and it took a recess until to-
I morrow morning, when the general presentments
| will lx- read and an adjournment taken. Judge
i Branham, of Rome, who presided during the
week, left for home yesterday morning. The
I members ofthe bar ami the jurors express them-
i selves as highly pleased with Judge Branham.
He presides with becoming dignity and ability.
| and dispatches business with the tact of a skilled
1 jurist.
I While on the subject of the court, it will in
doul t be of interest to our readers to know what
one week ofthe superior court costs the county.
During the past week, considerable business was
I transacted, and besides several important civil
cases that were disposed of, the jail was relieved
: of nineteen of its twenty-two prisoners who were
awaiting trial. Of these nine were sent to tin-
penitentiary, six u> the chaingang, one fined, one
nol prossed, and two released under bond. There
were eight pleas of guilty, and eight trials by
jury. The grand jury returned indictments.
The expenses of the court for the week were as
follows:
Grand jurors
Traverse and tales jurors..
Five bailiffs
Sheriff
Clerk
Incidental
..$19“ 00 ;
.. 273 00 :

Total $592 50
The sheriff gets §6 a day for his attendance
upon court and $15 for summoning the juries.
The clerk gets $3 a day for attending court, and
some additional fees that amounted during the
week to $7. Of course, these figures do not in
clude the costs received bv these officers. The
salary ofthe judge is paid by the state, while the
solicit* u-ireneral gets his compensation fro in

i shots. A search was made in the back yard for
the negro, but he was net to be found. Several
' articles of clothing, however, were picked up
which the thief dropped in his flight. The negro
was undoubtedly in the room for the purpose of
stealing clothing, but was surprised by the en-
: trance of Mr. Hewell.

Of course everybody believed the genial show
man, and as the agent of the Mutual Life, of
New York, has a touch of the same disease, he
expects to have due credit for his statement to
the same effect, and also for his assertion which
in view of recent facts seems now needful, viz:
The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New
York is the oldest, largest, strongest, safest,
cheapest, best company in the country.
It has paid to policy holders:
In dividends over $ 71,000,000
In surrendered values “ 6-5,000,000
In payment of death claims “ 93,500,000
d Sji
U.
Total amount returned “ $230,000,000
And it now holds for the security of its policy
holders over $108,875,000. It has no stockholders
to claim a part ofthe profits. As compared with
all other companies its ratio of expense is smaller,
its percentage of dividends is greater, its average
of surplus is greater, its amount of assets is great
er, its income is greater, its policy is the most
simple and liberal, it has no restrictions upon
travel, residence or occupation. Where else in
the world is a company with such a record?
There is nothing like it in England or America.
It has paid its many thousands here in Colum
bus, and will continue to do so, thus providing a
legacy and not a law suit. During the past 20
years the undersigned has had not a day’s delay
in payment of claims, and still receives proposals
and issues policies on every desirable plan.

It was a considerable undertaking when the St.
Paul congregation determined to make the radi
cal changes in their church building which they
recently did. It lias now one ofthe handsomest
and cosiest interiors in the city. The ladies have
undertaken to pay for these improvements which
please the eye, give comfort to the congregation
and reflect credit upon the pastor and his people.
Perhaps no more enjoyable and efficacious way
could have been suggested than the beautiful
operetta which will be given next Thursday night
at the opera house. Careful preparations have
been made to produce the “ Fairy Grotto” on this
occasion. It is a four act operetta by t>trat-
ton and abounds in striking tableaux,
catching music and graceful movements of happy
children. The* dear little ones to the number of
thirty or more will fill the role of enchanting
fairies, and with the scenery being specially pre
pared for it will make a scene of loveliness rarely
equalled in any spectikculur entertainment.
Added to these will In? many of the best adult
voices in the city. In truth, the affair will bristle
with good music, huauty and mirth. Prof. Chase’s
full orchestra will render the entire music, they
having kindly consented and tendered their ser

painted for the occasion, ami those that have
seen it say it is bcwitchingly beautiful. Columbus
delights to patronize such an entertainment.

have them for some time ahead. Mj opinir. i« that
we have passe<l what has come to be a chronic
expression that is the days of depression in
business. There is a hopeful outlook and one of
the gratifying features of it is that the people of
Columbus are appreciating the fact. It does not
take a close observer to see that the people are
m better spirits and are more closely identified
with anything that enhances the interest and
prosperity of the city than they have been in a
long time.”
“Are people generally feeling in a better humor
altout business?”
“The only means I have of knowing is what
you newspaper folks say. and my order book. In
j watching the order book closely it gives a very
j fair idea of the condition of the public pulse.
Taking this as authority i would answer your
question in the affirmative. Orders are received
j liberally now. while some months back the pages
I in the book did not fill up near so fast. We send
I our Roods into a dozen states, some of them very
t far west and I find there is a better feeling
I among the people. This is also indi
cated in the correspondence with the
| business men with whom we deal. It is very
often the case that after letting their wants be
I made known they indulge in remarks about the
! general business situation and prospects. The
I t(\no of all these letters is of a brighter character
and I feel warranted in saying that business is
I l>etter elsewhere as well its here.”
“You have no objection to the Enouirkr-Si'n
using these facts?”
| “None in the world.” said Captain Whiteside,
■ “so you do not use my name, as there is hardly
j any need of doing that.”
“Good-bye, captain.”

TO TACKLE TIIK COWS AGAIN.
All Vhlcrman Kays a Cow Ordinance Will be Intro
duced The Prospects of Its Passing.
An Enquiukr-Scn re{x»rter saw two ofthe al
dermen ofthe city engaged in earnest conversa
tion yesterday. On approaching near them, one
remarked:
“You are the very man we want to see. It is
a little ahead of time, but you may state it as a
fact that an ordinance will be introduced at the
next meeting of the city council which will pro
hibit cows from running at large in the streets.”
“Do you think it will Ik* poshed this time?”
“lam confident of it,” replied the alderman.
“It was only for the want of proper attention that
it failed when such a resolution was introduced
last winter. I know of seven aldermen who have
expressed themselves as favorable to such an
ordinance and I am confident that it will receive
at least a two-thirds vote of council.”
“What is the argument for keeping up the
cows?”
“There is hardly any argument needed to
show that the cows should be taken from the
streets. Only one day during the jmst week a
little child came very near being killed by a
cuw. If such a serious consequence had re
sulted from the cow’s nttaok upon the child,
uitv council would have felt that they had too
long delayed an important matter. It is fre
quently that children are hurt and ladies and
children badly frightened by these cows and 1 for

had the* desired effect and he replied:
“I know that, I have seen Bussey’s corn and

corn that I’m talking ab*.ut is in the field, down
here in Russell county and was raised by Col.

of silks. Whether you know any better or not.
the 1th of June is early, very early foi roasting

“ He must have used Home Mixture, too,” we
ventured to remark.

RAINING SILK.
>Yhiit Mr*. Dr. Ware is ir.s.inplishing -some
Facts About Silk Cultur* .
l>r. It. A. Ware brought into this office yester
day u small sprig taken froni a young pine bush. !
On it were about a dozen silk cocoons securely |
fastened to the pine straws, and is the work of !
silk worms raised by Mrs. Ware on their place t
near this city. She has now about twenty
thousand cocoons, and ha3 been raising the silk
worm on a small scale for a numlier of years, j
They haw* ul>out one thousand mulberry trees .
upon which the silk worm is fed until it begins i
the construction of the cocoon. It requires care j
and great pains to successfully conduct silk cul- •
ture, but there is no reason why .t should no: be j
made a profitable industry.
Probably but few people of the present gene ra
tion know that silk culture was one of the prin
cipal industries in the early settlement of Geor
gia. In 1735. Owen Caroline, of England, upon j
the king’s birthday, appeared in a full robe of 1
j Georgia-made silk, and it was declared to be os !
' fine as any Italian silk. The Saitz- ;
| burgers, who settled old Ebenezer. were j
I the principal cultivators and in 1766 the produc
tion of silk reached its acme in Georgia, when i
1 nearly twenty thousand pounds of cocoons were
! delivered at Savannah. After the inception of
| the revolution the industry begun to decline, and i
) has never since been revived to any notable de
gree.
