".Mr. Grimes is quite popular with the people then, you think?" “There is no kind of doubt about that.

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."

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- ■I ion but feels a delica ly in saying so. 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® lat the essays of the young women excelle »ose of the young men, showing deeper thougl id greater research. When a young girl of ] jars has solved the “Labor Problem” and tel intelligently to a thousand people, as did Mb lla Grove, the prejudiced man can not denounc le whole sex as weak and silly, but must giv lem some credit for genius and intelligence. HAPPENINGS AT III ItTSKOKO. « n Interesting Hutch of News From hii Alnhnin Neighbor. orrespondence Enquirer-Sun. 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 uesday; evening at the residence of Col. N. W U Long. Master Julian Long, of Eufaula, tool Irst prize and Miss Kate Brown the second. They voted the kind host and hostess many i hanks for the very pleasant and enjoyable even ing. The occasion will be one long remembered. 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 nabe. She had only been here a few days aud it 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 thies. 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 beat have declared their intention to support the independent Hurt for probate judge ; but, he de clares the unterrified democracy will not be frightened, and that they will fight “era” until the last ballot is counted. ’Rah for Borom and democracy! Madam rumor says that one of our popular clerks will lead to the .hymeneal altar soon one of Hurtsboro’s fair daughters. S. IlFSTICITS’ BACKET. ill* Has Solved the Problem of the Country’s Poverty—llow Tilings are Bun and Ills Idea of llow thoj Ought to be. 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. seal Happenings in Browneville am Girard. rmvnvvillc Enjoying a Summer Nap-Death < Prof. Allen—The Lively Hotel—A Flatteriii Outlook In Girard—lee Cream Supper by tl.

Dr. Frank Holley, who has been in Montgom cry for two months past, is on a visit to relatives. Council will hold its semi-monthly meeting Tuesday night. Some very good work has been done on the streets during the week, which had been render ed necessary on account of recent freshets. A temperance address was delivered at Carder’s Hall last night by Prof. Ivey, of Tuskegee. The effort was fine, and the attendance would have been much better but for threatened rain. Mr. Geo. Lide is turning out some nice work at his carriage shop iu Summergil] row. An infant ot Mr. Wesley Sewell died on Friday, and its mother was considered in an extremely critical condition on yesterday. Mri. Mary Reynolds and Miss Dolly Rundell are also on the sick list.

Ton ii enk of The Flattering Prospects Lightning—The Good Templars Ire Cream Slipper—Literary Club Officials. The friends of Girard consider its prospects very flattering. Some of its public spirited citi zens have full faith in securing a new railroad to Montgomery via Tuskegee, which will draw up the distance considerably and traverse a much better route than either of the other roads. More will be said of this connection when the enterprise Lias assumed a tangible shape, which we trust will be at an early day.

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.

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.
