were hardly worked up to the point
of considering favorably the new system,
and that further consideration would be
necessary to bring about the great change
in the manner of keeping and recording

ed to be the general belief that the twenty-
four hour method wou Id eventually be in
augurated.
The great Russian astronomer, Baron
Struve, has suggested that it be adopted
at the beginning of the next century, but
it is difficult to see why, if the change is
desirable, its benefits should be postponed

it looked as if the Eagle and Phenixs would
suffer a shut out, but in the
eighth inning a very careless play
gave them one run. Both clubs played well
throughout, but the Amateur® not only played in
better luck, but out-fielded the Engle and Phe
nixs. Whitehurst pitched in splendid shape,
striking out eighteen men. Smith also pitched
well. The prettiest play of the game was a catch
of a hot line ball by Nick Fogarty, who put it to
second for a double play. Following is the offi

TALK I P YOt U TOWN.
What a UepreMUitatiTPGentleman Has to Say Upon
the Subject—-HIk Remark* About an Editorial.
Editor Enquirer-Sun : We heard a gentle
man repent yesterday the remark of one of our
intelligent citizens which forms the caption of
this article. The author of the remark is so inti
mately connected with the business interests of
this city and vith those of the Enquirer that it
is a matter of surprise to see the leading editorial
in your yesterday’s issue. We do not remember
to have ever seen figures made so subservient to
the interests of Atlanta and Montgomery. If
talking up the through route from the north to
New Orleans via Atlanta and Montgomery to thfe
detriment of a railroad which was con
structed by Columbus money is
“talking up our town.” we fail to see it. You are,
Mr. Editor, bad at figures. 1
in the beginner’s arithmetic is addition,
add together 50. 150 and 175 and make it 370. This
is bad good mathematics. Again, when one
writes for the papers they should be accurate in
detail. The distance from Lula to Athens is 39
miles, not 50. The maps all show the distance
from Columbus to Pollard via Troy as 165 miles.
If. then, we add together the figures correctly we
have route via Atlanta and Montgomery to Pol
lard as 354 miles: route via Athens and Columbus
to Pollard 39x150x16-1—353, or one mile shorter
than by Atlanta. But let the maps be wrong as
to the distance from Troy to Pollard, aud assume
you are correct in your figures as to the distance
from Columbus to Pollard—viz : 175: it is then
shown that tne route via Columbus is ten miles
longer say twenty minutes in time , but remem
ber it would be by Columbus and “our town.'’
It will make of some value a quarter of a mil
lion investment the city has, which hangs like a
millstone around us now. It will make active
omposition | capital of vast sums of money our private citizens

Don’t we work the livelong day in the

Now, then, why shouldn’t we farmers
strike against our boss. King Cotton, who
don’t treat us right? We work for him
and slave for him, and he pays us only
eight cents a pound for all our work that
we have to do for him, aud he knows and
everybody knows that we can’t live at that
rate. He’s an old tyrant; he’s mean. He
don’t pay us euougli to buy the babies

treats us worse than old Pharoah did the
Jews, who had to gather their own straw
to put in their brick.
And I say let’s don’t stand it, fellow-
farmers, but let’s strike and then see what
the old tyrant will do about it. I see by

Gentlemen who live out in the neighb

night a party of drunken men or boys committed
considerable depredations upon private property.
Several gates were taken from their hinges and
thrown into the street, and posts were pulled up
and turned bottom upwards. The gentlemen
whose p.c.uises were visited are investigating
the matter, and they think they know who the
parties are. There may be fun in that kind of
business for a man who is drunk, but sober and
sensible people can set nothing in it at which to
laugh.

lets’s trv a new dodge on him ; let’s com
bine agin him ; let’s see if he can do any
thing if we get stubborn-like and let’s say
to him, “Now, old boss, we are on a stride

work cotton on poor land at eight cents a
pound and buy guano; we are going to
nave our rights and be free men, and be
fore we’ll work any more of your blasted

the grass grow and let the cows eat
the grass and we’ll drink the milk and eat
the rostii.’ ears, and we’ll tell the nigger
go a fiishing or to some other kountry. If
we farmers will just strike on king*cotton
we’ll stop more wheels than the railroad
fellers did up north, and they can't starve
us out while we are at it, neither, for haint
we been workiu’ for nothin’ and payin’
for our own rations to boot, that’s just j
the 3ize of it. My old woman—that’s Betsy, I
you know, says as long as the hens lays
eggs, and the cows give milk, and the grass
grows, we can live and snap our lingers^,
m their faces if we’ll just stop feedin’ the'i

the niggers wede think every rock had
turned to a fryin’ sized chicken, and every |
stump to a fat skoat, and every bush to a j
heifer yearlin* and the hul land would
flow with milk and honey, and she says
we can send all the niggers to heaven, for
that’s whar they are gwine any how when
they die, judging by the amount of
religion they’ve got since the war.
Now, then, let’s all hands let ’em knew
that next year cotten is goin’ to be cotten,
for we’ve declared our freedom, and we
are goin’ to have milk, and honey, and
beeves, and shoats, and chickens, and
ducks, and turkeys, and hoecake, and
every good thing under the sun except the
nigger and cotten. Everybody has been
growin’ fat but the farmer; everybody has
been gettin’ benefit from the nigger and
cotton but the farmer. The warehouses,
and the stores, and the railroads, and the
steamboats, and the banks, and the facto
ries, and the shops, have been kept agoin’
by the nigger and the cotten, and the
farmer has been payin’ for the music.
Now, let’s make a big strike on King Cot
ton. and see who’ll then furnish the
music ; and when they talk about cotton
at eight cents a pound, on poor land, we’ll
just eat fried chicken and johnnycake and
whistle Yankee Doodle. Rusticub.

Notes From \anro\.
Enquirer-.* un : We are having too much rain.
It is impossible for the farmers to clean their
crops with the quantity of rain we arc having.
Old farmers say it is tlu» most difficult year to
cultivate a crop they ever saw. Corn and cotton, |
where there is not too much grass, is growing I
finely. The peach crop will be a failure in this
part of the country. They are rotting on the i
trees before they are near grown. Many j
of the trees have shed the last j
peach off. We think the blackberry crop should
be gathered and dried to supply the place of tlu*
peach crop. There is an abundant crop of black- j
berries. They can also be used to make jam, and
be used in the place of preserves.
There is a great demand for sweet potato vines.
Many that were bedded rotted afterward, leaving
a k ood many farmers without plants. The potato
crop will be a short crop th is year.

M ill the Law Compel Them.
“No n\an can serve two masters,” and
even railway companies find it hard some
times to obey directly antagonistic laws,
state and national. For example the Iowa
statute make it a penal offense for any
common carrier to take into that state any
intoxicating liquors except accompanied
by a certificate from the auditor of the
county into which the liquor is to go
showing that it is to be sold tor “mechani
cal. medicinal, culinary or sacramental
purposes. - ’ In obedience thereto the
Chicago and Northwestern railway com-
•any refused to cairy 5000 barrels of beer
from Chicago to Marshalltown, Iowa,
at the request of a certain firm
of brewers. Now the brew
ers have sued the railway com pany for re
fusing to do its duty as a common carrier.
The suit sets up that the Iowa statute is
unconstitutional and void, because it con
flicts with the constitution of the United
States, but as the Chicago and Northwest
ern railway company did not make the
Iowa statute, but is only complying with
' its requirements, it would seem to be the
wrong party to sue. Nevertheless the
suit raises a very interesting and impor
tant question, and the decision of the fed
eral courts will be awaited with much in-
1 terest. The case suggests one of the com
plications in regard to inter-state com
merce which the Cullom bill proposes to
remedy.

! Toledo Blade.
I “If I ever get married in a church again
you can call me a goat,” said a bashful man
the other day.
*• What’s the matter now?”
“Matter enough,” he retorted, and he
seemed to get mad as he thought of it. “I
, was married not long ago, and as my wife’s
parents were oillars of the church it had
to come off there, so they thought. Well,
some repairs were being made in the
church, so the marriage took place in the
Sunday school. There’s where the whole
trouble came in. We stood on the plat-
1 form where the superintendent’s desk
i stood, and before the minister got started
I noticed a great many people smiling in
the audience. I didn’t know what to
make of it. They all seemed to be looking
over iny head. 1 never said anything un
til the tiring was done, then I turned round
and looked up. What do you think I saw?
One of those confounded mottoes hang
ing right over our heads, aud it said:
*m ffer little children to come unto Me.’
Isn’t that enough to make a man mad?”
