"Did yon know that Tom Grimes will he til
•uext congressman from the fourth district?"
Of course we knew it, but didn’t core to give I
41 way, so we asked:
"Any new developments?”
“Nothing particularly, but it is a fact, all th
■same. Every county south of the mountain wl>
give him a delegation, anil it wouldn't surprint
tue for him to get additional strength above tin
mountain on the lirst ballot."
".Mr. Grimes is quite popular with the people
then, you think?"
“There is no kind of doubt about that. He it
popular with the people and combines the iiuali
lications necessary to represent an intelligen
people in the halls of the national legislature.
Not only this, but the people above the mountain
appreciate the manner in which iris candidacy
has been received, and tliey will not antagonize
him in the convention to any very great extent
But that is not the secret of his success, i'll teli
you, but you must promise not to breathe it."
We promised.
“His sweetheart wears a rabbit foot as a neck
lace charm!”
Speaking of the congressional race, Hon.
Henry It. Harris is now at home on a ten days’
furlough. A gentleman just down from La-
Grange tells uh that he met Col. Harris there on
Thursday and asked him if he was a candidate.
Col. Harris replied that he did not know, bat
added that he was in the hands of his friends.
In other words, Col. Harris wants the nomina-

DAILY ENQUIRER-SUN : COLL MBITS GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 4, 1886.
It sounds rather funny to hear men talk about
'“killing engines.” The ^average ‘newspaper
reader has read a great deal about this kind of a
proceeding within the last few weeks, though
very few know how it is done. An engineer was
explaining the modus oporaudi to a crowd out at
the depot the other day. Said he :
“The quickest and surest way is to take this
••away,” the runner replied, laying hin hand on
the t hrottle lever. “Shut the throttle by pushing
in the lever pin, disconnect the fulcrum connec
tions with the boiler head, stick the lever under
your coat and march off with it, and the engine
is useless. Even if she is near the machine shop
if will require a couple of days to replace the
lever, at a cost ot $14, as it must be forged and
turned, and the brake throttle rochet must be
cast, tiled and polished. That is much better
than to carry off connecting rods, as I saw repre
sented recently in an illustrated paper. It would
take two men at least to cart away one connect
ing rod, which, yon know, connects the crank
pin of the forward driver with the cross-head,
though that disables a locomotive, of course.”
*‘I saw by the newspaper dispatches that several
engines were killed by the water gauges being
knocked off,” remarked a listener.
“If that is all the dispatches said, they didn’t
^cover all the ground, because the water glasses
would be left, and an engineer can run without
Hbf one if he has the other. If the gauges are
leuocked out, the holes can be readily plugged
up, and new gauges only cost 75 cents each. But
if guages and the water glass w ith its fillings are
btirsted the engine is no good.”
“ You won’t have to go to school to-morrow.
Buddy; it’s going to rain.”
This was the remark of an invalid little girl,
•about four or five years of age, to her little
brother who was pouting about having to go to
.school. And her prediction came true.
This little girl has been an invalid from her in
fancy, and is an accurate barometer. Her pa
rents tell us that she often predicts the weather
twenty-four hours in advance and seldom ever
fails in her prognostications. She determines the
weight or pressure of the atmosphere by the feel
ings and sensations in her limbs, and hence the
actual and probable changes of the weather are
accurately foretold.
The weather is quite a fruitful subject just now,
which reminds us to say that contrary to all ex
pectations— particularly of sum raer resort propri
etors—the spring season did not die its usual
death this year, but has been prolonged into early
summer. Not for many years 1ms Columbus,
ilie first week in July, been as full of society peo
ple and others who usually go to the springs and
lo the mountains.
The reason for this present state of things is
uot difficult to discover. The delayed flight of
society and the can-get-away club is due primari
ly to the weather, which after all has the great
est control of social affairs. Columbus is a good
place in which to stay any w ay, but the cool and
pleasant days, with their delightful showers,
brilliant sunshine and lovely air, which have suc
ceeded each other for the past few weeks, have
given to the city and suburbs th at glory of early
summer in its full perfection, to be enjoyed with
out its usual accompaniment of intense heat.
With the recurrence of summer has come the
recurrence of summer concerts—not with a stated
programme, at a given place and under fiixed
circumstances, but in every househ old and night
ly all over the city. Time was when
the posessiou of a piano-forte was
a luxury confined almost exclu
sively to the rich and well-to-do ; but now, when
prices range so low. and the installment plan has
been inaugurated, every family with a predispo
sition to music is able to own one. A girl’s edit- j
cation is not considered complete unless she is
more or less acquainted with music, and nowa
days half the little boys one meets are being in
structed in the divine art. So much for the
study and love of music. But to the indifferent
looker-on or passer-by, the nightly concerts above
Ml to
to be something less thai
Then the .summer time, with its fewer duties,
is the time when the maestro or professional
musician limbers up his or her “pructice,” aud
with an indefatigable purpose pegs away, pound
ing noise out of the piano for hours at a time,
playing some knotty passage until one’s nerves
quiver. Occasionally one hears more pretentious
duets, wherein a manly voice is commingled with
a sweet, soft soprano, and the romance that is
weaving about two lives is as clear as noonday,
though the performers are unseen.
The little street gamin of ebony hue adds his i
mite in the way of marvelous performance on the j
French harp.
Summer-time is serenading time, too, and by
the time the home concert is finished aud the
lights are out, the young man, whose thoughts
have lightly turned to love, essays to warble be
neath the window of his lady-love to an out-of
tune guitar accompaniment.
Whon at last the weary sleeper drops to rest he
is soon disturbed by what he supposes to he the
“Chimes of Normandy,” but is in reality the
milkman’s bell.
Most of the colleges, high schools aud
schools not quite so high, have closed their
doors for the summer, and the excitement and
interest of graduating days are over. Not only
the young men and young maidens who have re
tired upon their laurels, but whol; communities
were interested in these exercises.
One thing that is noticed by the close observer
reading reports from these various comment:
ent exercises is that the girls show more pr<
riency than the boys, The time is fast a)
.•caching when the young women of schools an
•lieges will bear off all of the honors if youn
icn do not look to their laurels and become mot
udious and persevering.
At one of these institutions a few days sine
/e young women and three young men receive
teirJdiplonmH, and the opinion w.-b express®

jars has solved the “Labor Problem” and tel

Hurthboro, Ala., July 8.—-The rainbow part;
iven at the residence of Mr. Brown last Monda;
veuing was quite a pleasant affair. The artistic
lanipulation of the needle by some of the youn$
ten was quite astonishing. Mr. H. L. Davis, al
lough rather slow in threading his needle,
ulled the thread with a kind of “get-there-Eli’
;>eed and came out ahead for the quickest time
titches positively declared not to be over quai
or of an inch apart. Several visiting young ladle-
ml young men added greatly to the pleasure o
be occasion by their presence.
The little folks had their soap-bubble partj

They voted the kind host and hostess many

Last Tuesday Mrs. Wallace, of Birmingham.
Ala., who is here on a visit to her parents, had
lie misfortune to loose her three-months-old

was hoped the change would benefit the little
sufferer, but the angels came for her and she fell
asleep. The afflicted parents have our sympa

The ladies of the Baptist church have formed
a missionary society, and have elected Mrs. Dr.
’.V. B. Arrington their president. They propose
in the near future to give a festival to help raise
funds for this noble cause. We bespeak for them
much success.
While Miss Nona Banks, who has just returned
from Tuskegee College, was out horseback rid
ing a few evenings ago, a negro riding recklessly
dashed suddenly by .which caused her horse,
which was spirited, to shy and throw her to the
ground. Fortunately she had presence of mind to
disengage her foot from the stirrup, which in all
probability saved her life. We are glad to say
she was unhurt and has fully recovered from the
nervous shock.
Mr. Thomas Borom and lady were here visiting
relatives this week. Mr. Borom lives in Macon
county, and says many of the sore-heads in his

Columbus, Ga., July 3.—Now, Mr. Editor, I’ve
been a doin’ a mighty power of thinkin’ here of
late, but I haiu’t-been* talkin’ nor a writ hi’
much, for I’ve been a leavin’ that to the politi-
tioners and the lawyers and the newspapers.
Some of ’em talks about one thing, and some
talks about another, and they all keep np a
mighty talkin’ and writin’ and they don’t agree
on but one point, and that is, that somethin’ is
wrong, some whar, and no body won’t believe
that the other feller has found out whar the
wrong is. Everybody knows that hiB own pocket
is mighty lonesome and that his neighbor is
poor, and that money is mighty scace and the
kountry’s not improvin’and that things have
been goin’ steady downhill for a long time.
Some are hopin’on, and a stvuglin’ on and a
watchin’ still and a boldin’ their breath, and
some are "goin' under out of sight and light
don’t break in nowhere and thar don’t seem
to be no let up on old hard times.
Now, Mr. Editor, I’ve waited long enough, for
these lawyers and politicioners and loud talkers
to find out whar the difficulty is, and I am just
ugoiu’ to hunt for it myself. That is, me and
Betsy are going to hunt together, and if we don’t |
get on track of the varmint and run him to his
dodgin’ place, then we’ll know the reason why.
Me and Betsy has been a watchin’ one of our
naiburs that’s got some money in the bank, and
then we’ve been a watchin’a heap of ’em that
hain’t got none thar, nor nowhere’s else, but
owes a heap, and we see how the thing runs. The
neighbor with the money don’t work much land,
and dou’t seem like lie’se tryin’ to get rich all at
once by spreadin’ out wide, but
he just kinder takes care of things
end lets ’em grow up around him, and he don’t
have but mighty few niggers sloshin around him,
and he never trusts to the law and to Providence
to keep the nigger from stealing what he’s got,
but he just takes care of his own truck. He says
that a man can’t spread out in this country with
out spreadin’ out on poor land, for the good land
is mighty scarce and the poor land plentiful, and
that if a man plows poor land himself he’s wastin’
his time, and if he hires a nigger to plow it lie’s
wastin’his time aud money too, and if lie buys
guano to put on it then he’s wastin' his money
twice. And he don’t plant but mighty littie
cotton and somehow the grass don’t seem
to want to grow in his cotton
patch, but every cotton stalk looks like it had
its home close to a manure pile, and his corn and
his potatoes and his sugar-cane and his millet all
look like they growed in a cow pen. He’s got a
fine breed of cows and Iiuh shelters for all ofthem,
and I don’t believe they ever get hungry, anil me
and Betsy have just concluded that when a man
plows poor land he stays poor, and if he gets a
nigger to plow it then he’s just hired that nigger
to help him get to the end of his poverty right
quick, and that’s what’s the matter with this
country
We plant cotton on poor land and it don’t
fetch enough at eight cents a pound to pay for
the bread and the meat, and the salt the lazy
niggers eat up. Now, ray fellow farmers, if your
hogs and your rows, and your colts, and your
geese, and your chickens dou’t manure any more
land than you and your boys can plow, then
don’t work beyond that limit, and just let things
grow up around you, for when you are asleep the
well-fed calf and shout, and chicken, and lamb
are all a makin’ interest on the money you’ve
got in ’era, providing you keep the night-prowlin’
nigger at a safe distance.

The friends of Girard consider its prospects

Montgomery via Tuskegee, which will draw up
the distance considerably and traverse a much

THE ROTS ON BICYCLES.
Frrpnrations forth* Great Three Days* Race* at
Star Fark—One Hundred Visiting Wheelmen to
Attend—The Full Programme.
The members ofthe Columbna Bicycle club are
enthusiastic over their approaching three days
tournament. They say that the people of Colum
bus will enjoy such sport as has not been seen in
ipany a day. The races will be free from any
gambling, jockeying. <&c. No money will be of
fered as prizes and the best rider will win. The
railroads have given one fare for the round trip,
and doubtless large crowds will take this oppor
tunity of visiting Columbus. The club has been
under heavy expense to insure the success of the
meeting, and they certainly deserve it. The peo
ple have not been called on for pecuniary
help, but they should encourage th
sport by turning out in large crowds. Special
provision will be made for ladies and children,
one of the grand stands being reserved solely for
them.
The attendance of wheelmen will be immense,
over 100 being already promised, including some
ofthe fastest men in the country. St. Louis,
Memphis, Little Rock, New Orleans, Mobile,
Vicksburg, Atlanta and other cities too numer
ous to mention, will send their very best riders,
and close and exciting races will be run. Mr.
Riddle will take instantaneous photographs of
the finish of each race, and will also take all the
wheelmen in a group.
The prizes will all be on exhibition in Mr. G. E.
Thomas’window next week. Some ofthem are
very handsome and a hard light will he made to
keep them at home.

The Second Baptist ( lunch.
At u meeting of this church a short time since
the members granted Rev. J. W. Howard, their
pastor, a recess until October uext. This was
done on account of his ill health, caused from a
disease ofthe throat and chest,and in accordance
with the views of his physician. Now, this publi
cation should settle the minds of those who are
interested in the welfare of Mr. Howard. It has
been falsely stated that he had been silenced
from preaching, which we regard as malicious,
hoping he may soon recover. It is better to say
nothing than to speak evil of a good man.
Rev. B. W. Bussey has promised to fill his
place in the church until he recruits his health.
