Yesterday, soon after the steamer Aid arrived,
a little boy named Tommie Baldwin, in attempt
ing to hoard the boat, slipped from a bale of cot
ton and fell into the river. Mr. Ed Shepherd,
purser of the Aid, happened to see the little fel
low when he fell. Mr. Shepherd, without say
ing a word to anyone, gallantly plunged in to
rescue the little boy. He succeeded in catching
the boy and told him to hold on to his hack.
The little hoy did so, and Mr.
Shepherd attempted to swim to the bank, but
current carried him down stream. In th *
meantime thc little boy had slippe 1 from Mr.
Shepherd’s ha :k and he had caught him be
tween hi* logs. Being compelled then to swim
entirely with his hands, he was rapidly becoming
exhausted. The crowd on the boats at the
wharf, however, had discovered Mr. Shepherd
and the little boy struggling in the water and a
boat was lowered and men went to their assist
ance and rescued them both. It is highly prob
able that they would have both gone down in a
very short time had not assistance arrived when
i did.
As soon as the excitement of being in the water
was over, the little boy, who had borne himself
nobly, broke down and began to cry. He was
soon dressed in a suit of dry clothes, however,
and was very grateful to Mr. Shepherd. He
clue to the I thanked heartily and kissed him when he went

Ills Majority Near One lluiulreii mid Fifty—The i
Vote in Mcrhieflier.
Owing to the unsatisfactory returns received
from Harris county Saturday night, many of our i
readers have since been anxious to know more [
about the result. A representative of the Ex- !
quirkh-Sun took a run up to Hamilton Sunday j
afternoon, and we are at least able to assure the
friends of Hon. Thos. W. Grimes that there is in. i
question about the county being safely in the I
! Grimes column. All of the precincts had been \
reliably heard from except two, and those two j
j are known to have given a majority for Mr.
I Grimes. The vote as far as the figures had been
f obtained was ; Grimes 36$ and Harris 261. '
I i\ majority for Grimes of lid. The •
| two districts from which the actual figure* had
! not been obtained were Davidson’s and upper
I nineteenth. Both are known to be for Grim* s !
J and will run his majority up in the neighborhood ,
i of 150. Tlu* vote is to be consolidated to-day at !
1 Hamilton. Tl*-fight made in that county against
I Mr. Grimes was rather a surprise to his friends. 1
I They believed that there would be practically nr !
] opposition to him and consequently were n< t on 1
the alert or as active as they would have been 1

was sprung just upon the eve of the election by «

friends of Mr. Grimes will no doubt profit by thi*
experience and will not allow themselves to he
, taken by surprise in any of the counties that arc
j yet to act. In this connection it may not be
I amiss to remark that the victory of Hon. Thos.
j W. Grimes in Harris county is not only very
I complimentary to him. but an evidence of his
popularity and strength with tlu* people. He
the on’y man within our recollection that has
another man, for whom I entertain great respect,
but it look* now like he will have to tarry a little
longer at Jericho. He can wait; let him take
courage and remember, in the language of Joe
Dennis, of the Hamilton Journal, “all things
come to him that waits."
The merchants, manufacturers and property
owners in Columbus ought to make up a purse
to pay for the printing of 100.000 copies of that
Sunday paper, and distribute them throughout
the length and breadth of this land; and let the
world know what Columbus is. and wbat she is
boundfto be in the near future, and what a good
paper you can get up. Such a paper as you are
now giving us is as important to the prosperity
of Columbus as the combined influence of the
glorious enterprises of which you speak. Then
let me say to my fellow commercial travelers who
represent on the road Columbus enterprises,
don't let its forget the Enquirer-Sun. but say to
hotel keepers, merchants, farmers and everybody
else we meet to take the Enquirer-Sun.
Be sure to ask all news dealers for it. and
when they see a demand for the paper, will
neyer be without it.
In this way we can help the management to
get it before the people, hare it* ads read, in
crease our trade, and help Columbus.
Meekly yours, Guano.

LEE COUNTY DEMOCRATS.
An Adilr<>'» fo flip Demiirritrjr of I.pp (ounty. Ain-
l.Hinji. iij tin 1 K\pi‘ntlTp i’ommitfpp.
To the democracy of Lee county: Under
the blessings of free government you are
called upon again to exercise the highc t
prerogative nf the citizen through the bal
lot box. Accustomed as we are to the
privileges and rights of a free country, we
should not forget that liberty is never won
by men without great struggle and never
retained except by "eternal vigilance.”
A relentless and remorseless foe is for
ever on the alert to poison the very foun
tain of free institutions and destroy the
blessings of free government among meu.
The insatiate and unholy desire for |of-
fice assumes the role of patriotism, and by
every artifice and device seeks to impose
itself upon a confiding people as a virtue.
A bold and unreasonable claim is asserted
to the offices of our free state, and public
station is demanded as private property
tor individual gain.
“Public office is a public trust,” and be
longs to no man. It is instituted in our
free country to subserve the public good,
and no man has a right to this sacred trust
for private emolument.
Government, offices and elections are all
ordered and established for the public wel
fare. The welfare of this county and state
imperiously demands that white men
should not shut their eyes to the dangers
which surround their homes and families.
For twenty years we have had to contend
against the assaults that have been made
upon the civilization established by the
white race in this country. During'most
of that time we have had the heavy hand
of the federal government against us. The
republican party has always b eu our bit
ter and merciless foe. The democratic
party time and again met defeat fighting
for the ascendancy of white men in the
political affairs of the south, until two
years ago a national triumph assured for
the south the sacred right to govern our
selves. And now, at the first election after
that great victory, we find ourselves con
fronted with a defiant toe offering battle
to the democratic party and inviting white
men to assist in its destruction; and there
by lead us back into the dismal misrule i
aud anarchy of a period that fills the !
memory with a hideous nightmare.
There is no use disguising the truth, the
large bulk of the colored voters will throw
themselves in solid columns against the
democratic party whenever they think
they can defeat it; they will not have con
fidence in the wlyte man’s government. J
There are many individual exceptions
who are in favor of peace and law, and good
government,and they are brave enough,and
patriotic enough, to casttheir votes with
their white friends. But the large majority
of them, led by colored politicians who are
bent on making moneylout of politics, vote
against the democratic party at every op-j
portunity. If they can succeed in beating
down and disorganizing the organized de
mocracy. if they can divide white men,
all men know the inevitable consequences.
It wilt not do to say the men they are vot
ing for now are good aud clever men. That
may be so. Vfe make no war ou men;
we" are discussing principle, not
men, in this address. They
mav vote for good men now, but as soon
as they feel they have thc power thev will
move forward to grasp the offices and take
charge of the state and county in future
elections. What then becomes of our
fellow-citizens who live in the country?
Those who live in town are protected.
But what of the schools, churches and
houses in the country ? When this fail-
land becomes a San Domingo, and igno
rance wakes up to power, what hand will
bridle the license that stalks through the
laud ? Strong men will protect themselves
and their families, but the weak and de
fenseless have no protection.
The colored politicians are not fools,
they hate well define^! and clearly recog
nized objects in view. Their aim, then-
purpose. their scheme is to divide white
men. Through that division they see vic
tory just on the hill. They are' too wiry
and wary to put out bad, bold men now,
for that would show thc cloven loot and
drive white men back to their allies and ;
their duty. They are approaching the
seat of power by undermining ditches and
parallels.
Fellow-citizens, we do not wish to re
fleet on your intelligence by discussing the
necessity of organization to repel a com
mon danger. As sensible men, you know
that no party can succeed without organi
zation. The democratic party in
convention at Montgomery ' has
placed a splendid ticket 'in the
field, headed by the brilliant statesman
from Hale. In all the contests of the past
he has stood unmoved on the side of the
people “
That same party, in regular convention
assembled, after an unusually heavy vote
in the various beats, by its legally accred
ited delegates, nominated a full'ticket in
Lee county. That there should have been
some disappointment and muttering after
such a spirited contest,was to be expected,
and was very natural. We recognize the
disappointment indulged by many true
democrats. We earnestly appeal to them
to lay aside all feeling and all personal
grievance and work for the battle that lies
befo'-e us. We appeal to them to present
to the enemy a solid front for the sake
of the history and principles of the
democratic party. We cordially invite
them to sink all personal differences and
rise above personal feeling in this supreme
horn- of trial for the democratic party.
We could not all get our man ; some had
to bear defeat and regret. The men who
are nominated are known to you as honor-
aide, cape hie men. If they had been de
feated they would have promptly retired
aud supported the ticket. The passions
and resentmentof the contest should die
away in the inesenct of the sober, second
thought of men who love their country.
But men count for nothing in this great
fight. Principles are involved that will
live when they are dead. The best inter
ests nf this county are at stake; our pros
perity, our families, our children, our
homes', our altars and our civilization are
wrapped up in this great issue, and true to
the trust you placed in our hands, we warn
you of the breakers ahead.
