The progress of Columbus Industrie
I grown proverbial. Our people don’t make uny
luss about it, hut Columbus has the proud dis-
I tinciion of being the scene of the very lust battle
| fought in the war between the states. On April
! lAtli, 188-5. the battle took place just across the
! river. The federal* won and obtained Adi posses-
I sion of the city, the next day burned 60,000 bales
j of cotton, valued ill New York nt $1.22 per pound,
and every industry of the second manufacturing
i city in the south was destroyed except two flour
ing mills. This was twenty odd years ago and
the Enquirer-Sun does not propose to kick up
o'lfflcieut to drive 800.000
cutnpnnying machinery.
This water power, with other material advan
tages, renders Columbus an inviting field for in
vestment in cotton and other manufacturing.

In February last Mr. Curley Post, n fireman on
the Mobile nnd Girard railroad, drew his month's
pay and lost it sometime during the dav. He
thought the money had been stolen by someone 1
and shortly afterward went to Texas without re
covering it. Friday while Mr. Charles Redtield
was overhauling engine No. 5, on which Mr. Post
ran as fireman, he found the money behind the j
cushion box where Post used to sit. It had I
doubtless fallen Aom his pocket while on duty.
The money will he forwarded to him.

Yesterday, while n horse belonging to Mr. Oli
ver Holmes, of Russell county, was standing near
the auction house, he became frightened and
ran away. He ran into a wagon in front of Jef
ferson’s store and smashed Mr. Holmes'buggy
up considerably, hut the wagon was only slightly 1
damaged. While this horse was running away j
there were a number of other horses standing !
unhitched in the street. People should he care- •
ful to fasten their horses securely when leaving
them in the streets.

ice until our city is now
ve in all the south. The
city of Columbus is a true type of southern pro
gression. It puts to flight the usual statement
that northern capital is necessary to tin.'perfect
development ofthe south and her resources.
Let w* see for a moment what we have. Starl
ing with nothing in 1865, our textile manufacto
ries alone make products to the amount of
$2,130,685 annually. They pay to the operatives
million dollars—in exact figures
year in wapes. They give employ-
• than 3000 people, and have an in
vestment of$3,890,338 capital stock.
There was a small concern some people called
iron works at t lie close of the war,hut now we refer
to the fact with much pride that Columbus has
the largest iron works south of Richmond. What
has the figures to say upon this subject? There
is an investment of$452,000in iron manufacturing
and the annual value ofthe products is <576,920.
These institutions distribute yearly $112,821 in
wages to the employees.
In flouring and grist mills there is an invest-j
ment of $195,000 with a product of about half a ;
million dollars, and various other industries 1

The south pier of Bull creek bridge has been
completed. The other pier is being rapidly built.
They are of handsome granite, and present an
imposing appearance, and are splendidly built.
Woodruff's, Ivey's and McCue’s forces have all
been moved, having completed their first work.
This puts camps over the entire road Aom Co
lumbus to the tunnel, with two additional camps
in Pike county.

The hi 'cut on Mr. Miller’s land, on Clayton’s
contract, will tie completed b\ Saturday, 14th.
O’Neal A: Putteyson have so nearly completed
their contract of four miles that they are sus
pending some of their hands. Those of our
renders who have noticed the work near and in
thecity have observed that no grass has grown
under these live contractors.
! There has sprung up near the tunnel a small,
village with quite a lively air to it. It is situated
on the clem, cold waters of Pigeon creek, where
the air is pure and bracing.
Lumlev & Foley performed no small feat in
bringing their tunnel ears on their wheels over a
new mountain road a distance of about ten mile-.
Two saw mills have been reccntty started at
Woodbury, and the wideawake citizens of that
place are going to build many modern and sub
stantia i houses there.
Lands are rapidly appreciating all along the
line of the railroad. Every property owner has
gotten back his subscription already in enhanced
value of his property.

We look for the population of Columbus to be
doubled in the next five years. Nature has done
.so much for the place tl at it needed only a little
effort ofthe people to put us on the upward move.
The people acted and in no stinted way.
The first depot mtside the city is just in front
of the splendid mansion in which Miss Augusta
Evans, the authoress, first saw the light. A part
ofthe beautiful grove in front of this handsome
suburban residence is the right of way of the
road. The company will doubtless make a small
park there. This station wiil be known as Rose
Hill.

We have said that Columbus is a prosperous
and flourishing city, let’s see if the figures bear
out the assertion. To recapitulate: We annually
use raw material to the amount of $2,445,709*
From that we have products valued at $1,151,639,
or an excess of $1,030,359. After paying out $949,-
808 in the cost of production, there is st’ll an ex
cess of $670,551 in the treasury of our paying in
stitutions.
That sounds something like prosperity, nnd yet
this is only a part of our progress.
Mis Uliiiiices are Good.
We have it from wlmt we consider good author
ity that Governor McDaniel will very likely ap
point A. A. Carson, Esq., of Butler, solicitor-gen- ( Col unit,
era! of the Chattahoochee circuit, to fill the va- 1 cupv ii
ciincy caused by the resignation of Hon. T. SV. 1 grande:
Grimes. If this is true, we have no doubt that it
will give very general satisfaction throughout the
circuit. He is a most estimable gentleman, a
good lawyer, and well qualified for the place.
There are several other applicants, either of
whom would make an excellent otficiul, and the
governor can hardly nuke an appointment that
will not be satisnpjtoiy to the bur and the people.

business men will know exactly what to depend
upon now and can transact their business ac

light was suicidal and our merchants were all the

that it is all settled we hope to see progress in
the business and all parties materially benefited.

It occurs to us that this is rather a line show-

Columbus, and there are many new faces to be
seen upon our streets. The population is rapidly
I increasing. At the close of the war there was a
| population of a little over seven thousand in the

are not apprised that the mountain range oft
ern Notrh America terminates here. Such
the facts. This range northwurc
to the Arctic seas, and is known
ities as Blue Ridge, Alleghany, White, Catskill,
etc. The last southern rock in that vast range
is in the Chattahoochee river, just south of the
Eagle nnd Phenix dam. ll is this terminating, |
and the results of the mountain streams seeking j
the lowlands that gives to Columbus her magnifi
cent water power.
The current from here to the gulf of Mexico i
scarcely exceeds four miles an hour, while above I
it is from en to thirty miles an hour. Within I
two and a half miles of Columbus, the fall in the j
Chattahoochee is 125 feet. The volume of water !
at the lowest stage equals 300 horse power to the
foot-fall, or a total of 37,500 horse power for two |
and a half miles. During nine months of the ■
lioochee at Columbus. Then the Mulberry at
Marshall & Leonard’s mills. Then the great
falls of Flint river at Flat shoals, and beyond
this the splendid power at Snapping shoals
aud Cedar Shoals. Some of these days the whirr
of the spindle aiul the blast of the furnace will
mingle with the echoes of nature at all these
points. The tax digests of Georgia will be greater,
taxation will be less, there will be more people in
the state, and the Midland will do an immense
business for manufactories.
