Very little noise Iiiih ho fur been made over the building of a ruilroail soutli of Columbus. Hut this is no reason that those at the hoail of this enterprise have not been getting in solid good work. And they lmve. Mr. <i. Uunbv Jordan left for New York yesterday morning in the interest of this road. Ilis object is to secure tint means for the early construction of the road to some point south whereby a Florida connection will be made. Whether the road will run to Albany, to Cuthbort nr to some other point will de pend upon the action of the communi ties interested. Columbus will meet all the requirements at her hands, and if the other end of the line docs as well, the road is an assuied fact We say this knowing that if a sufficient interest is taken in the road to authorize it, that there will be no difficulty in securing the money in New York to build it. We violate no confidence in saying that Mr. Jordan has every redson to believe that he will meet with battering success. The almost phenomenal success of the Geor- i gia Midland lias not only been another • evidence to the home people that he is the right man in I he right place, but it j has ingratiated him into the confidence j of the Now York capitalists, who are anxiously seeking opportunities for good investments of their money. It is prob-1 able that no man in the state could have j taken the Georgia Midland enterprise j under similar circumstances and attained 1 the success Mr. Jordan has in so short a I time. Tliis fact is not unknown to the monied men of New York, and with this | prestige it is not at till likely he will fail in Ids present undertaking. Then again there arc other reasons which combine to make railroad build- ; ing in the south an inviting field for the investment of capital. There can be no question that railroad building in the ; south is now of such a character as to \ justify the utmost confidence concerning j the future growth and prosperity of this i section of the country. The greater part of it is due to the local extensions which open new Helds for commerce that bring new sections into connection with the! greater markets, and they are construct- : ed principally for the purpose of develop- j ing the local as well as the through traffic. As an illustration of this we cite | the extension of the Columbus and Western road from < iood-1 water to Birmingham. Contracts | have already been made for the exten-1 sion of this road,anil it is as absolutely cer- I tain that it will be extended as anything can bo that is yet in the future. This wi'.l not only develop a large local traflie for the Central railroad, but will give that road a connecting link to the great northwest and thus give the shortest line from Kansas City to the great metropolis of America. This grand trunk line takes in Columbus, and even the croakers must now admit that the outlook for this city, As iinuft possible by railroads, is bright, solid and hopeful. DKVKIjOI’INU LOCAL III SINKSS. We have always bad faith in the south and in Columbus. The industrial pro gress of the south furnishes a theme for newspaper writers throughout America, ami it need not take a seer to understand that it is well founded. But the south is just beginning to make the progress of which there are possibilities, and as strange as some may think it this must come through the development of local business. Kven some of our well-in formed business men cannot appreciate the great strides that have been made in the progress of tlie south. Nevertheless, there are still better things in store for us. In the south we are just entering upon the era of low rates for local business. This change will not come at once, norin accordance with any legislative regulation, it must come from a regular order of tilings produced by competition. Wo hear in the south now littlo complaint of freight rates on through business. It is low enough. But complaints are directed against local rates, or alleged discriminations, and self-interest will, compel attention to both. Even if these complaints are well- j grounded they cannot be remedied by j disconnected lines. It is absolutely cer- ’ tain that a road having no through | freight must make the local business pay its operating expenses and its fixed charges. Tlie indications now point to through j lines, and in this no city in ail the coun- ! try will have advantage over Columbus, if all her railroad projects are carried out as we believe they will be. Through i lines can do a great ileal for the local j trade, and the outlook is that they will | do it. These lines are beginning to see that the enduring prosperity of these ex tended systems depends oil the prosperity of the cities and the section of the coun try tributary to them. It. is very proba ble that to the recognition of these facts the activity of railroad building in the south is due. In this connection a word to the mer chants and other businessmen of Colum bus will not be out of place. It is hardly necessary to remind them that new railroads built into the counties south of Columbus have taken much local trade from the city. Tito construction of a road south of the city would not only give them an opportunity of regaining it, tail opens up a much larger Held of com merce. It is with them whether or not they take advantage of the opportunity offered. There is not a more auspicious opening for the wholesale trade any where in the south than right here in Columbus. It will no doubt be exceedingly grati fying to a large number of people that Atlanta has settled her differences on the* municipal election question. The capi tal of Georgia cannot ttlford to have the progress of the city and the peace of her citizens destroyed by anything when harmony should be so easily reached. Kvtenv democrat in the fourth congres sional district should go to the polls next Tuesday and cast a ballot for the demo cratic nominee, APOPLEXY. For the Enquirer-Sun. A story is told of a well-known club man in New York who, with two faithful com panions, had feasted freely. The one, of whom our story is, had partaken more liberally than the rest of the club, and was the llrst to succumb. His companions car ried him home incapable of motion; but, not liking to present him and themselves to his wife in that predicament, they placed him with his back against the door, rang the bell, and retreated in order. As soon as the servant opened the door, of course the Mumm-paralytio tumbled senseless to the floor. Dr. Flint being called, felt the patient’s pulse, then, whiff ing his breath, said to his wife, who was plunged in grief and distress, crying “Paralyzed, paralyzed!: “Madam, I ven ture to express to you my ’holies’ that your husband is drunk.” She was indig nant, but Flint’s diagosis was correct, for the patient is well and vigorous this day. There is a striking similarity in the be havior of the arteries of the lungs, nose and brain. And disease, too, seems to at- tack them, thinning their walls identically. When the small arteries in the brain be come thin from a deposit of chalk and the blood pressure is groat, then a minute rupture takes place through which blood oozes into the brain substance. This same process occurs in the lungs. The little arteries in the brain do not begin to break down ns a rule before the age of forty is passed. From tliis time on the liability to wear out increases up to seventy. This is the natural way to die, it would seem. The blood vessell like water pipes tire put in to last so loner, and they do it. ’Pile influ ence of the so-called apoplectic habit was formerly considered of significance; latter ly it is absolutely disregarded. This ple thoric habit was said to be broad chest and shoulders, short, neck, large abdomen, powerful muscular system and florid com plexion. Hospital statistics show that poorly nourished, thin persons are oftener attacked with hemorrhage than the opposite type. A disease of the arteries is the cause after all. This Habit described as apoplectic is actu ally absent in most .cases of hemorrhage. I am sure, beleiving with the best author ities, that the popular fear of apoplexy when the full habit is present, is bused rather on the confounding of apoplexy with congestion of the brain, and its at tendant symptoms. Congestion of the brain produces symptoms strikingly the same ns many produced by a hemoarhage into tlie brain. In fact, a simple uncom plicated rush of blood to the head .simu lates apoplexy frequently. Dizziness, head ache, vertigo, vomiting, restlessness, par tial or entire loss of consciousness are symp toms belonging to both congestion and hemorrhage. A free bleeding from the arm with lancet relieves the congestion in most instances, and should be not forgot ten. Women are attacked with apoplexy in the proportion of one to ten men. Hemorrhage occurs more frequently in cold weather. An apoplectic stroke—that is a rupture of a blood vessel and the tricking of blood into the brain substance —may take place and yet there is scarcely any loss of consciousness, although the side opposite the side of the head in which the blood flowed soon becomes paralyzed. A distinguished general officer of the United States array, aftera fatiguing day of ceremony in New York, entered his carriage to be driven to His hotel. As be passed along Fifth avenue he pulled out a note book and noticed that he could only see the half of objects. He was not un conscious for a moment, yet when he at tempted to get out of the carriage, to his consternation, tic was paralyzed on the right side, and his speech was so much im paired that lie could not be understood. A stroke may follow during sleep, when one is perfectly well to nil appearance, having enjoyed uninterrupted good health for years. A congestion of the brain is far more common than apoplexy. If a stroke oc- I curs on the left side of the brain the right j side of the body, arm, leg, face, tongue,are | paralyzed. This comes from the fact that ' The brain tissue crosses like an X, and oue ! part is called chiasma, after the Greek let ter x, chi. Sometimes there may occur a , paralysis of the facial nerve due to cold, j an inflammation of the nerve. This trou- ! ble is transitory and in no way related to j paralysis from the breaking of a blood ves sel in the brain. Neither immediate or in stantaneous death ever does follow apo plexy. This form of death is always the resultof heart disease. Disease of no other organ produces death instantly. Persons who have a stroke are certain to bear off a lasting symptom or sign, and this mark is generally a paralysis of one side. In other cases the speech is more or less impaired, headaches are almost cer tain to come often, memory flags, the whole mental calibre is lessened. This is natural, for the dot in the brain actually destroys brain substance. Nature throws a wall of fibres around the clot whatever size it may be, and the liquid part is ab sorbed just us we see in the case of a bruise under the eye for instance, but the lost part of the brain itself cannot be regener ated, Some day, doubtless, tliis clot will he removed by advance science, and the nrery tied up. and then theoretically the patient will recover entirely for a time at least, for the disease lies solely in the arte ry. When a typical stroke of apoplexy oc curs the person I103 perfectly insensible, the heart beats and breathing goes on. There is only one condition that can be mistaken for profound apoplexy, and that is a dead drunk. Here again the breath reveals the living spirit. I. \ ItOIt I Mill THE LAW. Tin 1 ItlKlits «f l.iiborlmf Men I'mler till' t.iiivs of fleorglu—Its Strong Protecting Arm is Thrown Around lllm. NUMBER II Kiiitor Enquirer-Sun : “In tlie sweat, of thy face shall thou eat thy bread” was the sentence imposed upon man for violating the law of God. Nor lias this sentence been in any manner re voked or modified. The cost oi bread is to-day as truly the “sweat of the face” as in tlie dnys of Adam. True many of us manage to avoid the penalty, and do live without work, but in doing so we eat the bread which some other man has earned by liis sweat. A man by superior skill or industry, or by some spiecies ol good fortune or manage ment may iill ilia barns and storehouses and then sit down to take his ease, or he may inherit from his father the result of ilis tlirift. hi all such cases there is nothing morally wrong for one to live in idleness. Following tlie spirit of tliis law, it in tlie policy of the State of Georgia that every man should work who is able to work and who lias no prop erty to support himself. Idleness, therefore, is not a crime unless it amounts to vagrancy. Here then is a distinction made in the law. Those who have property may work or not at tlieir pleasure, but those who have nothing must work if they are able. There are two reasons why this distinction is made: 1st. In order to increase the amount of production. 2d. To ensure tlie public against loss. Every idle man corallines the product of another’s labor without adding anything to the general store. He ought injustice to earn hisoivn bread. Then as even a vagrant must eat experience lias demonstrated that he will steal before he will starve. It is evident, therefore, that the law oi vagran cy is not based upon a preference or distinction in favor of the rieli and against the poor, hut tliut it is founded upon public policy and sanctioned by the laws of Clod. Nor do laboring men desire that the law should be altered so that men may live in idleness. They are willing and even anx ious to work. What they demand is that the law shall protect them in their work and in the fruits of their work. Olio of the strongest incentives to labor is the certainty of reward. When a man goes to his daily toil lie wants to feel sure of his wages. “The laborer is worthy of his hire,” is the declaration of God, and to withhold it is not only injustice but sin. Eel us see what has been done in this state to secure tlie wages of the laborer : First, he is given a special lien upon the pro duct of iiis own labor. Whatever he produces, whether iu the field or in the mill, whether he aids in building a railroad or a wheelbarrow, whether lie is a mechanic or a common laborer without skill, whatever he makes with his own hand3 is bound to him foi his wages. Then he lias, besides this special lien, a general lien upon all the properly of his employer liable to levy and sale. The employer may he indebted ever so much to others, and there may be executions against him, but if he owes a man for labor it must first be paid. And lie is given a speedy remedy to collect his wages. An affidavit must be made, selling forth all tlie necessary facts showing that he is entitled to be paid and the amount due. and at once an execution is issued and can be enforced. It might be interesting to go into an explanation ofall the laws on this sub ject. showing in what cases the lien is allowed and how to enlorce it, hut this would be a digres sion. My only object is to show generally what has been done for ihe laboring man as sucli But in order to claim these liens it is absolutely necessary to siiow that the person has labored with his hands. A clerk or bookkeeper in a store is not such a laborer, though the porter employed to sweep out and carry parcels would be. A boss in a factory is not entitled to the lien, but the weaver or spinner is. The foreman in a machine shop, who directs blit does not work, is not en titled, but the machinist and laborer is. The law has been construed by our supreme court to in clude only those who do manual labor. Of course all domestic servants, such as cooks, house servants and the like, are included, as well as all who work on farms. But the benefits are not restricted to those who have no property. It is given to all who are in cluded in the classes of manual laborers whether they be rich or poor. As, however, the rieli man does not need sueli a lien, either because lie does not work, or is not dependent upon his wages for support, these laws are for the benefit of the laborer alone. They are intended to give him confidence in being paid, and to force the unwilling or dis honest employer to render unto the laborer the amount of his hire. In thus protecting him the law does him only justice, but it must be admitted that justice has been done. Y. SPRINGER OPERA HOUSE. ONE NIGHT ONLY, Monday. - - - November 1st.
