arguments thus presented are irrefutable for the ! that everybody attends to his own business, and
reason they are based on plain and substantial
facts, without the slightest attempt at a perver

misleading the public mind. So far as the ‘Mark”
and the "bright” are concerned, they have given
both sides of tin* question fairly and it develops
impartially the full force of the statements that
have been made. If there be, however, one thing
more than another that is particularly noticeable
in these views of the situation, it is the very en

"How did she do it ?"the reporter ventured to
ask, and if we remember correctly she replid :

There has been some talk about the falling of
of our cotton receipts during the past year oi
two. This falling off'at first blush, appears to In
a cause for some invidious comment at the er
pen sc of Columbus. There are, however, man;,
classes of trade in this city that have flouri.-.hei
and grown larger and larger from year to year
showing that, “in this day and generation, cot
ion only occupies a small part of the th'one "
Admitting for the sake of argument that cotton,
and cotton in the largest possible quantities, is
the most essential and most potential factor in
the progress cf Columbus, and admitting that it
has not come here, how will the "croakers" ac
count for the actual, undeniable progress all '
along the line that Columbus has made since
1SS0? It will not be denied that the population
ofColumbus has increased by many thousands in
five years. Growth of population means growt h .
<>f business, growth of opportunity. Will #*
be contended that the Increase cf population ;
has come to Columbus from regions ;

with the means of individual or collective sub- j
distance ? Will it be said that the thousands of I
dollars which have been expended in the erection [
of new private residences, and the additional
thousands that have been devoted to regenerating j
the old places have been expended merely for the i
love of "building palaces in deserts" or “abiding j
forever in a forsaken country ? ’’
People stay in Columbus because it is the best \
place to stay, and they come here to seek what j
they cannot find elsewhere.
The simple truth is that Columbus is moving 1
and has been moving in the right direction. One j
of the most pleusa\it reflections is that all the J
causes which have co-operated to keep down and j
repress the natural tendencies of the city to in
definite expansion are entirely foreign. All save i

Captain Jerry Slade Telit the Enquirer- |
Sun Much About the Queen.
\n InHdent that Illustrates the Intelligence of
the Bee—The Old #:<m! Not the Voting Him
that Leave tin Gum—linn Queen* are .Made,
and How They Rule Their Household — Many
Points of Interest Revur limr the Bee.
Everybody in Columbus, and a great many peo
ple outside ofColumbus know that Captain Jerry
J. Slade is one of the best educators for boys in
the land. He is about us well posted on the ma
jority of subjects as almost any man that can be
started. The Enquirbr-Sun long ago recognized
this fact, but not until yesterday morning did w«
have any idea that he knew so much about bees,
nor, in foot, did we know there was so much to
be known about them.
THRQUERN HUE
furnishes an interesting study. Speaking about
the queen bee yesterday, Captain Slade said :
“I wish you could have been out to my house
this morning; I would have shown you some
thing that would have been enjoyed."
"What was that ?’’ we asked.
"You are aware, perhaps, that the bee-hives
are so arranged that the queen’s movements can
be easily watched. Well, just before I started into
tl e tv thi lorning I saw a hive of bees prepar
ing to swarm. I went to the hive and securing
the queen, clipped her wings sj that she could
not fly. The swarm came out and settled near
by,the queen being the last to leave the old home.
She then came out on the starting board, but
could net leave. For several minutes messenger
bees were dispatched to and from the queen to
tlie swarm, and at last the enflre swarm returned
to the hive."
"Did the other bees understand ?’’
"I am confident they did. 1 am quite certain
the queen bee sent a message that she could not
come and ordered the return of the other bees."
"How can you tell which is the queen?”
“She is easily distinguished by the length of
her body, shortness of wing, together with a cer
tain smoothness and sleek look of her body*. She
is about one-third longer than the working bee
und has a fierce and ugly sting, but will not use
it upon any one who handles her; she is as safe to
handle as a June bug.’’
TO CHECK SWARMING.
" It would be a good idea then to clip the
queen’s wings to prevent the bees from swarm
ing ?’’ suggested the reporter.
“ Certainly so. The swarm will, when they get
ready to leave, go out and cluster, but as soon as
they discover that the queen is detained, mes
sengers and carriers go to and from the cluster to
he queen and instantly all hands come flocking
back and go into the hive perfectly contented.
Only the queen has an ugly piece ofworktodo
on going back. She instantly sets to work to
having the young queen cells opened and she
stings the young queen to death. This is the
only use she ever makes of her sting.”
HIVING THE BEES.
“This introduces a new way to hive the bees,
does it not, captain?”
It does. A bee keeper can take advantage of
this swarm ng and by putting the Clifford queen I
in « new ‘hive on the old stand can give a swarm !
a new home, a thing they were looking for, and i
it the same time he can remove the old hive I
with its contents of young bees with gum cells to I
mother stand and so swarming is done, and that
with no trouble. There need lie no more alarm I
about bees swarming if the movable from hives
aro used. A little smoke quiets the bee ami sets
him to eati*>g honey at once. At that pleasant ■
business he is peaceable and will not be roused
to resent fulness unless the handling is done
nervously and too hurriedly.”
"That is decidedly preferable to the old way?”
"Oh, yes. Tin pans and kettles, plows, water,
dust, and the old appliances to bring the fleeing
swarm to a cluster may be relegated to the past.
Only clip the queen’s wing, but be sure she is
laying before her wing is clipped, or she will al
ways remain infertile, for she must always meet
the drone on the wing.
HOW THEY MAKE QUEENS.
“How do the regular working bees get their
queens?”
If the queen is lost by any accident, she may
be replaced in a few days, by placing in the
queenless hive a frame of comb with eggs
that would hatch out workers in the cells,
and the workers will take one of these eggs and
cut about five cells into one, round this egg, and,
as soon as the egg on the third day hatches into a
grub, they nurse this grub with extra focal of a
peculiar kind, causing the grub to take on extra
growth. In about nine days they seal up this
large, half-grown bee. They, to make sure of no
failure, mu^ce often as many as a dozen of these
queen cells. The first one of these that hatches
out with the aid of I ho workers goes round to the
other queen cells and pulls out the occupant and
and destroy her, as but one can be queen."
TWO THOUSAND YEA1W OLD.
“Is this clipping of the queen’s wing a new in-
\ention ? ’’
•I thought so until this morning. Supposing
it to be an invention of the modern bee keeper,
and evidence of the progress of the age, 1 prac
ticed it with a sort ol pride of my country. But
what was my mortification in picking up, out of
curiosity, one of those difficult books of Virgil,
his Georgies, so difficult fe«* schools even read
them, to find that the old Latin poet knew all
about it two thousand years ago. And lest any
one may be incredulous about the fact I refer him
to -Lli Georg'c 103 to 108 lines, a close translation
of which is as follow s:
"But when the roving swarms fly about and
*port in the air, disdain their hives and leave
their habitations cold, you will restrain their un
seal- a minds from their vain play. Nor is there
great difficulty in restraining them: do you but
clip the wings of their kings--‘tu regibus alas
eripe’— not one will dare while they (the king)
stay behind to fly aloft, or pluck up the standard
iron* the camp.”
"i only feel a liirle compensated for my discom
fiture.” said Captain .Slade, “in finding out that 1
know they are queen bees and the old poet
thought they were kings. Let no one console
himself that he knows it all.”
THE MOTHER OR SISTER OF ALL.
“Coming back to the queen bee, is she not
clofcely related to the other bees?”
“Bhe is the mother or sister of all the working
lice* aud the workers are all females but are in
tertill*. At maturity the queen weds once, and
then her business is to lay eggs—her sisters’ to
work. Each pursues her avocation to her death
-the queen living from two to three years and
the working bees hardly us many months.* They
wear out their wings with work and then crawl
away from the hive and die alone. When their
wings are worn out they refuse to eat and'thus
perish.”
They Know ills Worth.
The people of Harris county are good friends of
Hon. T. \V. Grimes, ami the Hamilton Journal
voices the sentiment of the people in the follow
ing: “Hon. T. W. Grimes, of Muscogee, who is a
candidate for congress, was in our town last
night. Should he secure the nomination he will
do credit to the state in the halls of congress,
and he has many friends here who wish him j
success."
He is none the less popular in Marion county, |
and the Patriot thus speaks right out: “Colonel ]
Grimes lias entered the race ‘ squarely, aud we |
hope that Marion county will send delegates in

district had a showing in the congressional ‘
honors." I
