The note of improvement is being heard all about the city. Two heads are better than one in the manufacture of barrels. The bankers and breakers are hav ing a high old time at Cumberland. The people are expecting every day to hear that Trip has bit the army. North Georgia is accumulating a lot of collateral in anticipation of the cash that is to come. It takes a mean and vindictive spir it to distort a kindness into an at tempt to injure. It was pretty hard on the ocean to have to undertake the task of giving all those Tennessee editors a real good bath at one time. The retirement of Senator Gordon from the political arena will remove one of the most prominent figures of the south from public life. Let us not be disturbed by false alarms. If we all do our duty and view things in a cool and conserva tive manner,’ all will be well. The Tribune has but one line of policy, the upbuilding of the town and Community and all public spirited people appreciate the fact and en dorse the course of the Tribune. The lecture tomorrow evening by Mr. Caldwell should be largely at tended. He is a gentleman of splen did scholarly attainments and those who attend will enjoy a rare treat. The spirit of Americanism is too strong in the hearts of the citizens of the republic to permit of any serious disaster to our institutions. There fore let the calamity howlers subside. However any one may differ from the political position of that paper the Americus Times-Recorder stands out in bold relief as one of the most fearless and scholarly edited papers in Georgia. The Milledgeville incident is still being discussed by a few belated con temporaries, but soon it will be con signed to the archives of oblivion along with the battle of Waterloo and the Waycross war. The reappointment of Capt. W. H. Steele on the board of education of Rome reflects credit on the council and the city generally. It was a de served recognition of a gentleman who would adorn any position, social or officially. The Hill City Cadets and the Rome Light Guards will represent Rome at the encampment. Each company is composed of the flower of Roman chivalry and they are exceeded by no two compadles in the state in point of appearance. The Macon News deprecates the pardoning of Glenn McCord, the At lanta perjurer on the score that the penalty was excessive. The News is just in its view of the case. The crime was equally as dastardly as if the per jurer had been accessary to the mur der. FORCIBLE FIGURES. The Manufacturers Record in or der to present to the world the re markable increase in the number of cotton mills being built in the south has issued a special cotton mill edi tion, in which the situation is treated by noted textile and other experts. Statistics are given showing the num ber of mills under construction in the principal manufacturing districts, while all the various features favora ble to the industry in the south are reviewed.- These statistics show that in 1880 all the cotton mills in the south had 667,- 000 spindles. By 1800 the number of spindles had increased to 1,700,000 and on the 31st of December, 1894, there were over 3,000,000 spindles in the south and factories in course of con struction which will add 500,000 to this number. It is thus shown that even since 1890 the capacity of the south for the manufacture of cotton has donbled. The advantages of the south, as compared with those of New England are pointed out in the following forci way: A Contrast. The South New England has Imports Cotton Its Coal, Cotton Iron, Iron, Timber, Coal, Agricultural Lumber, Capabilities and Agricultural without limit, and Products, an Unequaled and has has a se- Climate vere climate, add as nature’s founda- ing to the cost of tion on which to living. The foun build the greatest dation for its in industrial inter- dustrial interests ests of the world, is purely artificial. The conclusion reached by the Rec ord is expressed as follows: “The world has 85,000,000 cotton spindles, one-half of which are in Great Britain alone. This country has about 16,000,000 and the south has nearly one-fifth of these or 3,000,000. And yet the south raises over 60 per cent of the world’s total cotton sup ply. The field for an increase in southern cotton mills is unlimited. It would take an investment of over sl,- 000,000 to build mills enough to con sume the entire cotton crop of the south, and when manufactured this cotton would command for the south over $1,000,000 a year instead of sell ing for about $350,000,000 as it does now in its raw state. REDUCED WAGES. The Augusta Chronicle prints the following powerful appeal for high er wages: “To earn 35 cents,” says a wo man of the sweatshop, “I have to begin at five in the morning and work till midnight.” To which the judge ads, “There never was black slavery as bad as this white slavery. It'ie wicked enough to make a curse.” The country is assured by Secretary Carlisle that wages were never so high in the United States as at present. In the south men and women are work ing on the plantations for starvation wages. The planters are doing the best they can but on both sides it is a struggle for bread. “Never in the history of the coun try were wages as low as they are now in the south. Five dollars a month and rations for able bodied farm hands does not sustain the assertion that wa,ges are now ruling at high water mark. The truth is the rich know nothing of the hard times among the laboring people. We are ashamed to confess it but the truth must be told. This Government is more in the control of the plutocracy than any other gov ernment’on earth. It exists for the benefit of the classes and the poor have no rights which the rich are obliged to respect. “The income tax decision shows the influence of wealth. The county must continue to be supported by taxing the necessaries of life. We do not be lieve that the people will continue to submit to this gross robbery of the many for the benefit of the few. “With starvation for the producer and laborer and the burden of taxa tion on cotton, the country is on the road to a revolution in public senti ment that will not stop until all the wrongs from which the people suffer are righted. “Oh! that men would cease to wor ship the almighty dollar, and do jus tice for justice sake. Talk of the cheap labor of China and India, there is no labor so cheap as that at our own doors.” Up in Connecticut there has been organized a circle of Catholic young ladies who are pledged to marry only total abstainers. They are on the right line. Better to remain single for life than be cursed for life with a drunken husband. John Smith has disappeared from Atlanta. It is strange that one of such an unusual name should disap pear so completely. Rome is enjoying a season of festiv ities that is indicative of a gratifying condition of prosperity. TELE ROME TRIBUNE. WEDNESDAY. JUNE 12. 1895. MOUNTAIN RAMBLES. Work! Work, work work! No time to shun or shirk, For heavy heart and aching brain And toil-worn feet the drear refrain; Gray vistas of the cheerless years With fruitless efforts, hopeless tears Through shadows wan and murk Woik, work, work I Work, work, work! Like thrust of deadly dirk The thought of slavish monotone, The burdens one must bear alone; No matter if the blossoms bloom No time to quaff their rich perfume, Where stern task-masters lurk Work, work, work 1 Work, work, work! The fatalistic Turk, In indolence may sit and dream On some ideal future theme; For me ths real looms avast. If fancy wander, strong and fast Brought up with sudden jerk, Work, work, work! Work, work, work! The blithe and bosky birk Flings far aloft its budding leaves Where pleasure-loving spider weaves His silken web. For me the same Old labor under seme new name Where fairest fancies lurk, Work, work, work! —Montgomery M. Folsom. Some Ancient History. Mr. D. J. Hull is one of those grace ful writers whose words appeal to the sentiments of the soul. We have al ready published a portion of his grace ful letter to the Renneslaer N. Y., Cou rier. Here is the remainder of it, re ferring to the ancient history of Rome: Way back in the early history of the country, or rather when the country had no history, save an unwritten tra dition, the Cherokees numbering at one time 27.000, and constituting one of the most powerful nations of the south, were the undisputed possessors of all the territories for miles around. ■‘Round about the Indian village Spread the meadows and the cornfields; And beyond them stood vhe forest, Stood the singing groves of pine trees. ” Such was the birthright of the Chero kee nation, and the “Indian village where proud Rome now enjoys her pres tige, there was the Red man’s home. Some time during the early half of the present century the government de cided to remove this tribe to the Indian Territory. The difficult mission was in trusted to Gen. Scott; with 2000 soldiers he corralled the tribe in western cow boy fashion. The proud and independent spirit of the Indian rebelled and made a break for liberty. Some 2,500 warriors es caped to the mountains and found a camping ground in North Carolina. The descendants of this remnant have gradually become farmers and tribal re lations are nearly extinct. Gen. Scott succeeded in getting the balance west of the Mississippi, but those escaping were never reclaimed. During the loth] century a Spanish captain, explorer and adventurer, who had fought with Pizarro in the conquest of Peru, landed in Florida in pursuit of untold wealth and ‘‘the fountain of youth,,’ “which he thought could be found in this new land. With his 600 men he marched into what is now Geor gia and tradition says encamped across the Oostanaula, and that part of town was called De Soto in his honor. Failing in his search he went to Mo bile, thence west to the Mississippi, which he discovered. Here death over took him, and his remains was con signed to the Father of Waters. While there was no battle fought here during the late war, one wing of Sherman’s army passed through here and there are numerous long rifle pits still to be seen extending over the timbered hills. On “Memorial Day” I joined in the procession and marched to the ceme tery, where every soldier’s grave was decorated and an address eulogizing the southern soldiers for’their bravery and praising the mothers, wives, sisters and sweethearts for their devotion to the ’‘lost cause. ” It was to lis ten to, because there was nothing to grate upon the northern ear. Such letters as these do good. It is a pity but there was more such communications as that disseminated rather than the indescribable rok that permeates the press in these latter days. It attracts people to our beautiful land and awakens an interest; that] is for good. It is a delight to The Tribune to reproduce such sketches as that. M. M. F. To Ansunici Leadership. New York. June 11.—A special to The Herald from Panama says Pro visional President Alfaro, of Ecuador, wires from Leon, Nicaragua, that he sails at once to assume the leadership of the insurgent government set up in Guayaquil until the president, now in Quito, capitulates, which is expected soon after Alfaro s arrival. He will probably land at Guayaquil on June 16. Condition of Washington's Sick. Washington, June 11.—Representa tive Hitt was able to sit up for a short time during the day and the improve ment in his condition has continued. Miss Dodge rested comparatively well during the night and her condition is about the same. mi think** Because we are advertis ing and selling the best 110 suits in Rome that we haven’t anything cheaper.

BEFORE MILLER, Th® Commluloner of Internal Revenue Investigating Train in* Il's Case. Washington, June 11. —Commission- er of Internal Revenue Miller had be fore him for purposes of investigation Collector of Internal Revenue Tram mell, of the Atlanta, Ga., district, and Revenue Agent Chapman. These two officials are at loggerheads over two re movals made by Collector Trammell. The latter called for the resignation of Deputy Collector Hetherington, who worked up the Georgia White Cap cases, and a Miss McNutt, a olerk n the office. Chapman, who Is a Repub lican, and who has been in the serv’ce many years, protested against Tram mell's action to Commissioner Miller and forthwith both came here to be heard in person. Trammell, it is understood, claims that Chapman is embarrassing him creating friction in the office, and he asks for his removal or transfer. Austro-Hungarian squadron Arrives.
