PARKS, BRANNON & CO.
• • HELLO, NED BRADFORD !”
That Was the Call From the Tribune to
Cedartown,
The circuit is completed and last
night Mr. Folsom, in the Tribune
office, pulled down the lever and
yelled:
“Hello, Ned Bradford!”
“Hello, yourself,” came in a deep
baritone voice.
“What’s that on your breath ?”
“Sorghum juice.”
“How the deuce are yon, anyhow ?”
“Fair, fat and forty,” came the
reply with the accompaniment of one
of those guileless chuckles for which
Ned is famous. Itj brought back
memories of last thanksgiving, out at
Mr. Ake’s when the turKey was
brought to the table. That chuckle
is a mingled expression of triumph
and gratitude.
The connection was made last night
and Houston Hardwick caused the
receiver to get hoarse.and cracked the
diaphragm, yelling a message of un
dying fidelity to his girl in Columbus,
Ga. ;
It is a complete success. The head
quarters are in Bradford’s drug store
and the Cedartown folks can hear the
democratic roosters crowing in Rome
without any trouble.
Mr. Bawsell is entitled to the con
gratulations and thanks of the com
munity for the celerity and dispatch
with which he has pushed the work
through.
’Gene Russell ordered “a long quart

CANNON CRACKER FIRED.
Bat the Bold Gambollerg Fled in Con
fation.
Last evening about 7:30 o’clock a sound
like a pistol shot’ was heard in rooms over
Beysiegel’s beer saloon on Broad street.
Quite a crowd of people gathered, and
the police made an investigation, but
those who had been in the room had
disappeared.
A lamp was found burning on a table
and a pile of poker chips and some cards
and small change were found scattered
around.
It was supp >sed to have been a row
among sport o , who fled after the firing
of the pistol, following the example of the
red men of the forest and carrying off
their dead with them.)
But it was found afterwards that a
who had been barred out of the game
had fired a cannon cracker against the
window, carrying the glass, curtain and
all into the room and flightening the oc
cupants of the room out of their wits. No
harm was done.
THE ROME TBIBUNE. THUBBDAY, OCTOBER 15. 1896
MAY OPEN MONDAY
Colored School Childieu May Use
the Churches
OF THE ROME COLORED PEOPLE
Until the Building For Thein, Destroyed by
Fire, is Roplaced-Effort In That
Direction.
The negro public school may be opened
next Monday.
In fact it looks very much as if that
will be the case, though the board has
not acted as yet. '
At the meeting day before yesterday,
on motion of Judge Max Meyerhardt, a
committee was appointed to see if some
place could not be securee where the
schools could be opened, and Judge
Meyerhanit and Oapt. N, H. Bass were
appointed on the committee.
Yesterday this committee met and con
ferred with the pastors of the'churchs
for colored people in the city. The mat
ter was laid before them that unless some
thing was done the schools would hav?
to close down for several months; that if
the churches were secured the grade
could be divided out among the various
churche buildings, blackboards put up
and the board might see its away to
wards keeping the schools open, begin
ning again next Monday.
The pastors were all pleased with the
idea, and there is no doubt, practically,
about securing the churches. Both
members of the committee favor the
opening of the schools in this manner
next Monday. Tomorrow the board wilj
hear the committee’s report, and doubt
less adopt the idea. If so, Sunday’s
Tribune will tell at what churches the
different grades will be located.

A Rome Manufacturer Talks Very Inter
estingly.
The surest index to the prosperity of a
community is the condition of the manu
facturing interests,
“Why,” said Mr, Starke Burney yes
terday.” We are making and selling
more trousers than any other house in
the city. We are just kept busy all the
time.
“Just take a look thorough our'stock.
There are stacks and piles of the latest
styles and weaves of cloth and our manu
facturing department is so well equipped
that we can take a man’s measure and
make him a pair of trousers while he
waits.

may be suffering for , lack of business.
Everything is rushing with us. Z But then
you know we set the pace in styles, prices
and jam up workmanship. We are the

VIEWS OF SAMUEL J. TILDEN
n Hie Letter of Acceptauce, 1876, on Un
sound Finance,
Resulting in the increased purchas
ing power of the gold standard dollars
and the fall of prices as measured by
isuch.
Uncertainty Is the prolific parent of
mischief in all business. Men do noth
ing, because they are unable towaie
any calculations on which they may
safely rely for profit. They under
take nothing, because they fear a loss
in everything they would, on a fall
ing market.
They hope and wait for stable prices
for their goods. The merchant dares
not buy for the future consumption of
his customer knowing full well his in
ability to consume. The manufac
turer dares not make fabrics which
car not refund his outlay for want of
consumers. He shuts his factory and
discharges his workmen. Capitalists
cannot lend on security they consider
unsafe under a constant fall in values,
and their funds lie almost without in
terest. Men of enterprise who have
credit or securities to pledge will not
borrow because he cannot invest in
any productive enterprise without
loss. The people need to know that
the government is moving in the direc
tion of ultimate safety and prosperity,
and that it is doing so through prud
eat, sate and conservative methods
which will be sure to inflict no new
sacrifice on the business of tbecoun
try. Then the inspiration of new life
and confidence in the ability to earn
profit will hasten the restoring
processes of nature and prosperity will
raturn to all engaged in productive
pursuits with absolute certainty.
