Editorial Correspondence Enquire^-8un.
' Titov, Ala., July 20.—'We shall now be as good
as our word and undertake to give the readers of
I the Enquirer-Sun » few appropriate remarks
; about crops, politics and things generally in Pike
• county. The more we mix and mingle with the
i people here, the better we like them. They ap
pear to a very fine advantage on first acqunint-
! ance, but ns we come to know them better there
| is a marked improvement, which makes one feel
at home. In fact, many of the citizens of Troy
are native Georgians, and they know so many
| people that we know a natural affinity springs
1 up. Your correspondent has just been engaged
i in a long conversation with Dr. G. W. Andrews,
| whom we found to be a most estimable gentle
man, a fine business man and one of the leading
citizens of the place. He moved from Georgia
and the memory of his first love causes a fond
ness for the people of his native state. We
dropped in to see the doctor for a moment only
but prolonged the stay to an hour. He is a regu
lar reader of the Enquirer-Sun and keeps up
with the times. He likes the paper, the princi
ple it advocates, the high plane upon which it is
run and does net hestitate to say that the En-
quirer-Sun is one of the very best dailies in the
country.
ANOTHER NATIVE GEORGIAN
is Mr. M. Connor, who is one of the largest mer
chants here, and was several years ago a citizen
of Columbus. If we are not mistaken he moved
from Talbotton, Ga., to Columbus, and subse
quently to Troy. His up-the-country friends will
be glad to know that he is doing well here. He
is engaged in merchandising and does a heavy
business in advancing to the farmers. He in
forms us that business, as a rule, is very fair, and
he sees no reason why any should indulge in
complaints about hard times and dull business.
Mr. Connor is one of the oldest subscribers of the
Enquirer-Sun and demonstrated bis affection
for it by renewing his subscription yesterday for
a year in advance. Another live firm here who
KNOWS A GOOD THING
when they see it is that of Messrs. Coleman &
Corral, who can’t afford to do without the En
quirer-Sun. Said Mr. Coleman to us when we
dropped in yesterday, that he was taking several
dailies, and felt like he ought to support Alaba
ma enterprises, consequently he had thought of
discontinuing the EnqArer-Sun, but when it
came to the pinch, he handed us seven dollars
which pays for a year in advance. This firm does
a large business and are making a success of
merchandising. Thu name of this firm is a
household word in the homes of many farmers,
and the integrity and honesty of this house has
given them a fine trade. Among other
ENTERPRISING A NO PROSPEROUS
merchants are McLeod & Liter, who also do a
large and prosperous merchantile business. Both
these gentlemen were out when we called to pay
our respects, but their storehouse gave every in
dication of enterprise and thrift. They are live
merchants and may be put down among the
number of those who have done so much toward
making Troy the leading city in this section of
the state, and bringing it from a cross-roads
trading place to a town that does three millions
nf business annually.
ONE OK THE MVKST MEN
in the city is Dr. A. St. Clair Tennille, who is a
merchant, manufacturer and planter. He has
one of the largest drug stores in the city and de
spite the fact that Troy and the community is re
markably healthy, does a splendid business and
is making money. He is a large stockholder and
president of the Troy Fertilizer Company- an in
stitution that makes 300 tons of guano—which
finds a demand for all he can make. He is fore
most in nil enterprises that go to build up his
town, and believes that the only way to do tHU
is to invest in enterprises which will bring more-
people and, consequently, more consumers. It
bus been our good fortune to spend a day in his
home with his family, and if they are a specimen
of Troy's home life, then indeed is this one of the
happiest places in the world.
THERE ARE MANY OTHERS,
but we cannot particularize at this time, though
we would not do Troy justice to omit mentioning
the fact that Mr. L. M. Bushinsky, the head of a
live aiul solid bank, keeps the machinery well
oiled. If it were not for his bank and his accom
modating disposion, many of the merchants ami
other business men might spend sleepless nights
where they now lie down to peaceful slumber
and sweet dreams of the ducats. But we must
now turn those remarks to other things.
TAI.K ABOUT THE CR01*S
and the prospects in Pike for a few minutes. It
is often the case that newspaper men who are
closely confined in rose scented sanctums grow
tired of looking upon their luxurious surround
ings and weary of treading upon Brussells, such
as adorn the sanctum floor of the Enquuier-Sux
editorial rooms. They long to betake themselves
out upon the sward of God’s green earth; breathe
the atmosphere as pure as heaven and roam
around the verdant fields. To get out and be
fr ee and footloose on such occasions makes them
enthusiastic. They are then in tine trim for
praising everything that looks inviting and for
lauding to the skies all|vegetution in the way of
farm products or gardeu truck. Your correspond
ent has taken all these things into consid-
sldc.ationl has weighed his enthusiastic nature
with the general surroundings, and now says
without fear ofcourtadiction, that
THE BEST CROPS ARE NOW GROWING
that have grown in Pike couutvfor the past six or
eight years. We have not been in all parts of
the county, but we have talked with those who
have. Most of the crops of which we write we
have seen and know of a truth that the pros
pects here are most encouraging to the fanner,
the merchant, the business man and to all the
people, for all are dependent upou the success of
agriculture. So far as the corn patches in and
around the city are concerned, ami some of them
embrace several acres, they are just as good as
the land will make, for the people here tell us
that it has not been better in ten years. In
twenty feet of me is a corn patch of two acres
and Dr. Tennille would not give a man thank
you to insure him 120 bushels of corn from it.
Upon his plantation a few miles from the city he
nas much corn that will compare favorably with
this brag patch. His cotton he tells us is the best
he has had for years, aud the universal testimo
ny is that the crops in that community are of the
same character. In speaking of these crops we
have not selected brag patches to
MAKE A GOOD SHOWING,
but there are some crops in the county that are
almost wonderfril. For instance, Mr. Johnson
and Mr. Knox, two farmers a few miles south of
here, made aud ginned eighteen bales to the j
mule last year. They both tell us that their crop
of cotton is from fifteeu to twenty per cent, bet
ter than it was last year, and that their corn is
from twenty-five to fifty per cent, better. Let
not the reader imagine that they plant all cotton
in order to make so much per plow ; such is not
the case. They are the men who bring hams
aud breakfast bacon, the products of their farm,
to town and sell it at this season of the year.
Shelled corn would frighten their sleek and fat
mules from the feed trough. But these are ex
ceptional cases. The average will fall far below
this.
THE FINEST FARM LANDS
in the county is in the southern, southeast and
eastern part of the county, and more particularly
out about Brundidge. Here the crops are mag
nificent—the best that many of the people in that
section have ever seen growing there. The man
in the neighborhood of BrundUlge who has a
poor crop would be ashamed to admit it, as it
would be a reflection upon his capacity as a far
mer. The Hpringhill neighborhood also has very
fine crops and is a good farming pom in unity. At
Henderson and Goshen Hill, in the southwest
ern part of the county, the crops are reported all
that could be desired and better than in
THE NORTHERN SECTION
around Orion or even in the neighborhood of
China Grove and Linwood. On a par with these
are the crops about Briar Hill, but the only rea
son that these crops are not as good as those in
the southern part is that the farming lands are
not ns good. The crops have been well worked
and heavily fertilized and the seasons, while wet
weather interfered with work in a measure, have
been sue has to suit the condition of things.
The consequence is n poor crop is the exception
and not the rule. In every part of the county
the people are much encouraged and with no 1
misfortune will be in a good fix for future opera- j
tions. One need hardly be told that the crops j
are good, as the people are cheerful generally.
They believe that they will be able to “pay up”
this year and this causes a broad smile upon the
faces of the merchants.
ONE OF THE SECRETS
of the large yield that is now promised this com
munity and county is the fact that the lands
have been well fertilized. They encourage home
industry by patronizing the fertilizer company
here, and the company turns out an article that
will make the land produce. Then again the
beauty of co-operation is exemplified in the fact
that most of the representative men of the city,
and several prominent farmers in connection
with them, are stockholders in the guano factory
and they all talk its merits. They constitute
themselves ugents for its sale, and the effect of
this influence is large sales and the result good
crops. Some people may wish to know how we
found out
SO MUCH ABOUT THE CROPS
without going all over the county and into the
fields. It was this way: When we met a man on
the street who looked like he might be a farmer,
we would walk up, shake hands and speak to
him, though we did not know his name from
Adam’s house cat. The man would think that
he had met an old acquaintance, but the gimblet
would be applied industriously und almost before
he was aware we would know where he lived
and as much about the crops in his neighborhood
as he knew himself. In Troy we met four differ
ent farmers at different times and the report of
each coincided with the other, in several in
stances furnishing names, but none of these
gentlemen to this day knew that they were
talking for the Enquirer-Sun. At other times
we would ride through the country in a buggy,
and often tying tMe halted to a convenient fence
or bush, would perambulftVe through the fields.
If a notion came into min A we would go to a
farm house and interview the owner on the -ub-
ject of crops. Anyhow, the crops are good.
POLITICS IN PIKE
is the warmest thing that we have struck since
we left Cofuuibus, the weather not excepted
even though the thermometer has been dancing
up in the nineties. The state election will be
held Monday, but it is local politics that makes
things lively. The county officers are to be
selected on that day and the race is a free for all,
or in common parlance, a scrub, no nominations
having been made The county is entitled to
two representatives in the general assembly and
there ore six candidates. T. J. Carlisle, one of
the piesent encumbents, is a candidate for re-
election. The others are J. M. Carter, B. W.
Starke, W. J. McBride, Frank Bennington and
McLeod. It is thought that Mr. McLeod will be
one of the two chosen, though it is a matter of
guesswork. Pennington is making an issue by
agitating the stock law, and it is thought that
this will defeat him, though he will likely carry
the vote in Troy. Some of the other officials will
have
EASY SAILING,
as there is no opposition to them. Judge J. P.
Hubbard will be elected judge of the circuit court
as the nominee of the democratic party. It is
rumored here to-night that a republican candi
date is in the field and that the republicans are
trying to keep it quiet and spring him out on
Monday. The present clerk of the opurt, Ogle
thorpe Worthy, will be re-elected without oppo
sition. There are four candidates for county
school superintendent, but we have no intima
tion of who will probably win the prize.
THE HOTTEST OF ALL
is the race for probate judge, and the contest is
still heating. There are nine candidates and
every one of them is making an active canvass.
There is public speaking at two different points
in the county every day, and every candidate be
lieves his chances to be the best. W. J. Hilliard
is the present encumbent, and the fact of his be
ing in, he hopes, will make it hard to get him
out. Frank Baltzell is a stirring fellow, popular
with the farmers, and being the editor of the En
quirer, makes him well known. It is thought by
some that the aian who gets it will have to beat
Baltzell. L. H. Bowles is a Baptist, and
hopes that element will stand by Him,
while T. H. Jones swings around among the
Methodist. Rev. Mr. Henderson is a Hardshell,
and as there are many Primitive Baptists in the
county this may be an influence to help him out.
Lucius Reeves used to be clerk of the court, and
this is his lever. W. C. Wood, Jas. P. Nall and
A. C. Worthy are all candidates. Worthy ran in
the last election and was three from head in a
batch of twelve or fifteen candidates. He has no
particular hobby, but stands a good showing to
come in. The matter will be decided Monday,
aud until then uo man can tell who wtll be the
next probate judge of Pike. G.

Dentil of Mrs. Bella Coflehl.
Mrs. S. Bella Cofield died at her home in the
Northern Liberties at 4:30 o’clock yesterday after
noon. She was about forty-seven years of age
aud was born in Lee county. Ala., but had re
sided in this city a number of years. She was a
sister of Mrs. T. M. Bryant, of this city, and Mrs.
George Hughes, of Montgomery, who have the
sympathy of many friends in their sad bereave
ment. Mrs. Cofield was a consistent member
of the Methodist church and a devout Chris
tian. It may be truthfully said of her that a
good woman has gone to reap the reward which
awaits those '* ho are faithful into the end. The
good that she did will live after her in its
benign influence on those with whom she came
in daily contact.
The funeral will take from the residence this
afternoon at 3:30 o'clock.

, Dear Sir—A few years ago you induced me to
! take out an Accident Policy in the Travelers, and
I upon your persuasion I have kept it up year by
! year, not at all anticipating the possible benefit
I to accrue. But I have now to thank you for it r
| ns well as for the Company’s check of $358.57 in
payment of my claim for many weeks of disabil
ity, the result of a very painfhl accident, threat
ening the loss of my right hand. After this ex
perience of how it is “the unexpected which al
ways happens,” I shall certainly keep up my
Accident Policy, and I shall not forget the
promptness of the Comflllny in paying my claim
as soon as the amount could be ascertained.
