What Judicious Invehtmeit and Energetic En
terprise Could Accomplish for the City.
The Enquirbr-Sun has long contended that
the Chattahoochee river, taken in connection
with Apolacbioola and Flint rivers, is one of the
most valuable channels of commerce that is pos
sessed by this city. This is made patent by the
fact that it flows throngh one of the finest sec
tions of country in the south, and the freights by
steamers are ao low as to be merely nominal.
That it is valuable as a trade channel, the figure*
for the year’s business ending the first of Juno,
demonstrate too clearly to need other argument.
That it can be largely increased, no shall under
take to show. But as to the
BUSINESS FOR THE PAST YEAR,
the statement is a most gratifying one. It shows
an increase over the previous year of $746,753,
and an increase over 1884 of f l ,091,72ft. Below we
give a table showing the actual business done on
the three rivers for the fiscal year ending June
1st, 1886. We include the Flint and Apalachicola
rivers, as they are so closely allied with the trade
as to give the trade a local significance. Here
are the figures:

Thi* Baptist Festival.
The festival for the benefit of the "industrial
school,” under the auspices of the I>adies’ Benev
olent and Aid Society of the First Baptist Church,
will be given in the church yard Wednesday af
ternoon and night. The cause for which this
entertainment is given is a most worthy one, and
every friend of charitable institutions should
patronize it liberally. There are about seventy-
five of the poorest children in Columbus enjoying
the benefits of this industrial school. It is merely
a labor of love that should receive hearty encour
agement .

Treasurer of Muscogee County.
Judge F. M. Brooks has revoked the order for
tin election on the 13th of July for treasurer of
Muscogee county, to fill the vacancy caused by I
the death of Mr. Tim Markham. This action is
based upon the reply to a letter to Governor
McDaniel, in which he says that it would not be |
legal to hold a special election where it would
have to occur within less than six months before
the regular election. This decision of Governor
McDaniel sustains the opinion expressed in the
Enquirer-Sun a day or two ago. Acting upon
the reply of Governor McDaniel, Judge Brooks
yesterday decided to revoke the order, and has
appointed Judge W. H. Brannon temporary
treasurer.

IN EXPLANATION.
The large increase of the river business for the
present year is mainly due to the improved con-
dition of the rivers ns a result of government ap
propriations, thus enabling the steamboats to
run the year through, by the further fact of their
railroad connections. The steamboats connect
with railroad lines below and offer
through rates for cotton and merchandise
to and from all points east and north
in competition with the local roads. This
increases very materially the amount of business
to our steamboats and enables the merchants of
Columbus to compete very favorably in freights
with other points now so favorably located.
THE RATES ON THE RIVER
are not classified as they are for the railroads.
Each article is enumerated with the rate attached.
The rates can he obtained from any of the steam- ■
boat agents, but to show how low they are vie
give some of them on leading articles. From
Columbus to Euftiula is 8ft miles, to Fort Gaines
118 miles, to Chattahoochee 223 miles and to |
Apalachicola 360 miles, but the same rate applies \
to all these and to intermediate points. With
reference to groceries the lowest rate on the river |
is live cents per barrel of Hour, meal, grits or
anything of that character. On bacon and bulk |
meat it is 4c. per 100 lbs. packed or 5c. per 100 j
lbs. loose. In the way of hardware all plows I
ami attachments, such as singletrees, rods, clevi- I
ses, etc., is 5c. per 100 lbs. Dry goods boxed
per cubic foot, fertilizers 40c. per ton, and <
thing else in that proportion.
RAIL RO A D ('O N N EOT IONS
are made at four points on these riv

to these points can be ascertained by adding river
rates.
THE GEORGIA MIDLAND AND GULF.
The D ork That Is Heine Done Alone tht Line—A
Butch of Interesting Paragraphs.
The grading on this end of the line has reached
the park. There are several grade points opened
and men at work thereon in the park and just
hack of the cemetery.
f’hief Engineer Greene has gone to Covington
to meet the engineer corps which is running the
preliminary between Locust Grove and Coving-
tine of the camps of the Chairahooehee Brick
company moved their quarters Friday to a point
beyond Shiloh. They had. finished their work on
tliis end of the line.
In spite of the rains, the grading is making
rapid progress.
Experienced judges say the best organized force
ever on a Georgia railway is the one now on the
Midland. There are about eleven hundred hands
now employe.!.
Steel rails for the first twenty miles will arrive
in August, when track laying will promptly be-
gin.
The iron bridge for Bull c:eek is being built by
ti e Phenix bridge company. That is a guarantee
that it will be a good one.
The first locomotives to reach the road will be
built by the Baldwin works, and have every mod
ern improvement.
Cross-ties will begin to be delivered July 1st.
The specifications call for an inch more in thick
ness than most of the roads demand, yet the ex
perience of some of the most successful systems
show it is best and safest.
Albrecht’s patent box-lid will be used on the
Georgia Midland. That is a solid recognition of
home talent. Columbus rejoices in the success
other inventors.
The culvert pipe used on the road bears the im
print of a southern furnace. The south is learn
ing to take care of herself 5 n many of the needed
manufactures.
The bonds of the Midland are the perfection of
the engraver’s art. The skill displayed in their
execution reflects credit on American artists.
U is gratifying to see every detail of the road,
and its equipment of the ven best quality. I;
pays in the end to have only first-class railroads,
capable of high speed and heavy hauls.
Work on the tunnel has made consideiable
progress. The formation is sand stone of a fair
quality. The approaches are being worked n\»m
both sides.
We learn the spikes and angle plates for this
road will be of southern iron and southern manu
facture. Thus benefits beget one another—home
market and home products.
Ellerslie and Waverly Hall were the last point.-
canvassed for subscriptions and the first to see
the new road. The proximity of the two event-
surprised some of our quiet country friends.
RIVER NEWS.
Arrival of the steamer Naiad.
•ing tb
Since the interview with Mr. W. L. Clark,
which appeared in the Lnquibbb*£un juut a week
ago to-day, the citizen* cf Columbus have been
exceedingly hopeful that the extension of the Co
lumbus and We*tern railroad from Goodwater
to Birmingham would prove a reality at an early
day. They recognized the fact that Mr. Clark
would make no positive statement without the
beat reason in the world for ao doing. This was
an assurance that the extension would be made,
yet the information was a source of so much grat
ification that there has been an inclination to
have this assurance doubly assured. This morn
ing the Enquirer-Sun is frilly prepared to do
this, and to give it from the highest authority
connected with the road.
A TALK WITH TUB PRESIDENT.
Learning that Captain W. G. Raoul, president
of the road, was in the city, a representative of
the Enquirer-Sun sought an interview with him
on the subject. On making known our wishes to
him and assuring him that this was a matter in
which the people of Columbus and allthis sec
tion felt a deep interest and were anxious for all
the in form .at ion that could be given them, he
! said that there was ncthing in connection with
I the extension that he desired to keep from the
j public. He then informed us that everything
j said by Mr. Clark in the interview last Sunday
; morning was true, with possibly the exception of
I the cost of the road. The statement made by Mr.
i Clark was that it would probably cost about $1,480.-
000. This. Captain Raoul said, would be about
the cost of construction, but to strengthen the
; old line and to give proper terminal equipments
it would amount to at least $17,50.000. Hence
Captain Raoul confirms all said bv Mr. Clark, ex
cept that in estimating the cost of the road his
figures were not hardly high enough.
WHEN THE WORK WILL BEGIN.
In regard to the work on the extension. Capt.
Raoul talked very frankly. He informed us that
the engineers are already at work. There are
three routes—the lower, the middle and what is
called the northern route. The middle route
passes through such a rough and mountainous
country that it has been abandoned as impracti
cable. The northern route ia shorter, but the
country is much more broken than the lower
route by way of Columbiana. It will be necessary,
therefore, to run two preliminary lines—one by
the way of Columbiana and along the Louisville
and Nashville from Siluria or Helena, and the
other by the way of Childersburg and the
j Wewaka Valley— before it is determined which
ine will be selected. As soon as the selection as
o which route will be taken israade. the location
j will be begun and hands will at once be put upon
the grading.
THE TRACK LAYING.
) The route from Goodwater to Sylacauga, a dis
tance of 14C miles, is practicable for both lines.
The grading has already bten done between
| these two points, and also a portion of the line to
Childersburg has been graded. Captain Raoul
I informed us that he is now contracting for iron
for the road, and that just as soon as he could
j ; et ready for it. will begin laying the iron be-
I tween Goodwater and Svlacauga. He does not
believe it will be practical to do this before the
first of September, but as the road was already
' graded it would be done just as soon as possible.
THE CONNECTIONS BEYOND.
! Another bit of very interesting information
| furnished us by Captain Raoul was that the en-
! t ire line from Kansas City to New York via Mem-
1 phis. Birmingham, Columbus and Savannah will
1 be under the exclusive management oi only two
re ads—the Kansas City, Springfield and Memphis
, and the Central railroad of Georgia. The road
1 between Birmingham and Memphis is called the
' Birmingham, Memphis and Atlantic, but the
! ownership is in the Kansas City. Springfield and
■ Memphis road. We have the authority of Capt.
Raoul that this is t he first time anything tangible
j has been presented to the Central so far as secur-
| ing connections north of Birmingham is con-
| ctrned.
THE SHORTEST TO NEW YORK,
i The extension of the Columbus and Western,
and the new line between Birmingham and
i Memphis, gives the shortest line that can be had
j between Kansas City and New York. Thebeau-
• ty of it is that Columbus is on the direct line, and
a rule placed on the map will show this city to be
j almost on an air line between Kansas City and
Savannah, where the line connects with the
Ocean Steamship company for New York. The
I distance is
' From Kansas City to Memphis 487 miles
1 From Memphis to Birmingham 2.1.0 miles
From Birmingham to Columbus 160 miles
! From Columbus to Savannah 300 miles
| Milking length of railroad 1197 miles
; To this add 250 miles, the prorating distance
i between Savannah and New Ycrk, and you have
! the freight and passenger distance between Kau
i sa? City and New York, which is 1447, or add 750
' miles, the actual distance from Savannah to New
York, and it gives the distance from Kansas Oily
to New York, which is It-47 miles.
THE ADVANTAGE
piecing us on the shortest
ity and New York, it gives
o all the markets of the
in direct connection with
the greatest coal and iron fields cf the south.
Tnat the load will be built is as absolutely cer
tain as anything net a reality can be. We were
never more fully convinced oi anything than we
were cf this fact, after the conversation with
Captain Raoul. While the -interview was sought
by the Enquirer-Sun, he did not hesitate to
speak candidly, and expressed a pleasure at be
ing able to give the people ol' Columbus the in
formation they were anxious to obtain.
LOCAL LACONICS.
i —Indications for twenty-four hours for North
Carolina. South Carolina. Georgia and eastern
Florida: Fair weather, followed by local rains,
stationary temperature, variable wind-,generally
southerly. Western Florida, Alabama and Mis-
! sissippi: Local rains, stationary temperature,
: winds generally southerly.
—The colored Primitive Baptist church will
have a bap tiring at rock No. ! at 1 o’clock this
afternoon.
—Mrs. G. W. Dillingham gave a party of little

i —Watermelons of the new crop, raised in this
community, are now being offered on the streets
1 for sale. A gentleman in one of our Alabama
' surburbs had watermelon for dinner as early as
i last Sunday.
—The early peach crop seems to be short, if we
are to judge by the scarcity of peaches in the
market. The same may be truthfully said in
reference to the apple crop.
—A gentleman writes from Marion county that
the crops are fine.
; —Columbus people have been in no hurry to

ANOTHER PRETTY GAME.
The Amateurs Win Another Victory Over the
Eagle anti Plienlx.
■ The Amateurs and Eagle and Phenix’s crossed
: bats at Star Park again yesterday afternoon.
I Quite a crowd was present, among which were
! several ladies. The game was very interesting,
: and was nobody’s game until the last man was
' put out in the ninth inning. Both clubs played
: well, and the score would have been closer but
! for passed balls by Bambush in the first inning,
, which gave the Amateurs a run. Those who
I witnessed the game were agreeably surprised by
the good playing of the boys. Many professional
games have been played at Star Park that did
i not equal this one. Following is the score :

certainly have built up an immense trade aud
