DAILY ENQUIRER ■ SHU: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 16, 1888. IT IS REAL COOL HERE. (n thn RlMk Nortkwmt It I* M Hot That th« Brook* (Mmm—'CoaporotlTol; Cklllj u tk* Mootk WkM tko North !« Coatldorcd. Cincinnati Timeo-Stor. “Oh, yeo; it is not what you might really ill chilly, but this is not bad weather," call said the calm and undisturbed weather — - — 111 uu ms morning round, and after wringing a quart or perspiration out of his hair, drink ing seven glasses of ice water and fanning himself lor ten minutes had ventured the remark: “It’s hot!” “You mustn’t complain of these salu brious zephyrs,” continued the relentless tormentor; “why, they are as wintry blasts compared to the ton-id weather they are having elsewhere. Do you recollect how intensely cold it used to be up around Fort Assinaboine, Montana, last winter?” “Something like 200 degrees below zero, wasn’t it?” ’ "More or less; yes. Well, do you know that that was the hottest place on the con tinent of North America last evening ?” “Great Heavens I” "Fact. The thermometer was drawing around in the neighborhood of 103 up there while down in New Orleans at the same moment it was 80. How does that strike you? Now, why don’t you bawl about hot weather? Have you got nerve enough to say it is even slightly warm around here ?” The miserable scribe groaned and gasped out: “And that’s where they go to get •cool, too, ain’t it ?” “That’s the place,” said the weather man. “Why, it was not as hot in Pensa cola, Fla., the southernmost signal station in the country. There it was only 86 de grees. Oh, you want to go to the north west to get cool. Qo up to Das Moines, for instance, where it was 94, of up to Ft. Custer, or Ft. Buford, Montona, where the mercury was making love to the 99 point on the thermometer. And then they had a red hot night of it, too. At Ft. Buford and Ft. Custer, where they usually have a temperature of 40 or 60 degrees below zero during the winter, it was 92 at 10 o’clock and the Mormons out in Salt Lake City were per- .spiring at a 90 degree stage at 10 o’clock. In Cincinnati it was only 74. This, you see, makes Cincinnati a choice place as a sum mer resort. The northwest is played out. “Well, what are the signs to-day ?” asked the newsman. “It is generally cooler all over the coun try to-day. This morning it was 68 de grees above, with indications for a con tinuation of a warmer and fair weather. No signs of rain.” RAILROAD MATTERS IN DOOLY. Tlii' Proposed Kxtriitlon of the AmerleuK, Preston and bumpkin Itnilroad. Vienna, Ga., July 13.—Railroad matters in this section within the last few days have assumed a highly interesting phase. Last Saturday a large and enthusiastic meeting was held at this place in the inter est of the proposed extension of the Ameri- ■cus, Preston and Lumpkin road, via Dray- and the quota of subscription required of that county was pledged on the spot. Col. Hawkins, president of the Americits Pres ton and Lumpkin rood, addressed the meeting, and explained in detail the manner in, and terms on, which the road is to be extended through the territory already mentioned. A committee of nine was appointed to can vass this county for Dooly’s share of the required subscription, composed of some of the wealthiest and ablest citizens of the •county. Thirty thousand dollars is the amount to be raised, and it will be done at •once. The committee comprises D. B. Leonard, S. W. Coney, T. J. Ray, J. P. Heard, J. H. Woodward, J. D. Pate, J. T. Collier and R. S. McDaniel. We are ii^ earnest about this road and mean to have it. To-day a representative of the Covington and Macon rond was in Vienna soliciting right of way for the Florida extension of that road, which will come by Snow and Vienna. He asked for no subscriptions, and the right of way will be freely given by our people, as we want that road also. The line of the Americus division of the S. D. and W. railroad has not been definitely located yet, but it is presumed it also will come by Vienna. So, between them all, Dooly seems reasonably sure of one or more” railroads through her rich but unde veloped territory. We are mostly pinning our faith at present, however, on tne A. P. and L. road, as we are putting our money in it. WORK OR BE WALLOPED. MoKKlmeks ill ill-Miurl Astonisht-il by a Sen Sort of Vigilance Committee. Buffalo, Mo., July 8.—The Bald Knob- bers of Taney county have a counterpart here in an organization not named as yet, but having for its object the promotion of Industry. Many of the older settlers of the country enjoy hunting and fishing more than they do work, ana to put a stop to the shiftless methods of these worthies the more active citizens have organized a mys terious band which deals summarily with all offenders. Owing to the operations of this society of late something like a panic prevails among the fishermen and hunters, and many of them are thinking seriously of emigrating or going to work. Tom Cook, living a few miles south of here, has a farm of about eighty acres with not more than ten acres under any sort of cultivation. Where an attempt has been made to put in a crop there are more weeds than grain, but this has not worried Toni any. He has an old house that looks as though it might fall to pieces almost any night, with an alleged barn which is gradu ally disappearing by way of the kitchen stove. When there is no wood handy the cooks knock a board otf the barn, and the result is that not much besides the frame and roof of that structure remains. The roof would probably have gone first if it- had not been difficult to reach it. On the whole farm there are no fences and the few domestic animals, not counting tile dog's, look desolate and oppressed. Tom has three sons and a daughter, the boys being lank and lazy like their father, and the girl being fat and lazy like licr mother. They never work if they can help it. Tom and the boys go fishing, and the girl and her mother sit around and wonder when they arc coining home. The other nignt the vigilance committee called and notified Tom that if he and the boys didn’t get to work they would have j trouble. This hurt the old man’s feelings. [ He always had worked, and so hail his j whole family, and, besides all that, he’d j been here since ’48, and lie “allowed that j he had never been jacketed yet, and he ( didn’t intend to be now.” 11 is visitors in formed him that a new era had dawned and that there had got to lie more work ' and less fishing for the good of the whole country. Ii lie j went to work, all right: but if lie did not, bf would lie sorry. The. next day [ Toni went fishing as usual, and the second | night aider that, as he was returning home • from another fishing excursion, he was | seized by a mob and unmercifully whipped. That paralyzed the whole community, j Old settlers who are wearing the same clothes now that they wore thirty years ago, and who have yawned and stretched so much that they are loose in the joints, spruced up a little and came to town to talk the matter over. All day long they sat on the dry goods boxes and salt barrels whittling and chewing tobacco, and at thsy returned home no wieer than when they came. That night another old barnacle wae whipped, and a dozen other* i-roeived-warnings. Several who were not anxious to have a row actually went to work. One man brought a load of hay to . ought a lot town and sold it, the flrst jime ' ) do such 4 .v, ...O 111 wu no n»a ever been known to do such a thing, and another appeared with a few quarts of trult, which he was particular to explain it was mighty hard work to pick. But Mie whippings and warnings wont on, until ‘V'MJy “shooting ooourred, and now the snerifT has organized a posse to hunt down the too enterprising night righters, who, it Is suspected, are some of the lead ing citizens or the county. Every old fish erman is awaiting the next turn of affairs with breathless anxiety, and in the mean time work is being done on some places that have been strangers to it for forty years. Still the Good Work Goes On! MAIMED CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS. Review of the 1,1st Pnhllshed hj the Kxeentlv* Department. Atlanta Constitution. Captain W. H. Harrison, clerk of the ex ecutive department, has completed and had published a list of all maimed confed erate soldiers who have been paid allow ances by the state since November 10th, 1883. - ’ Among other valuable information pub lished with the list, it is announced that the third payment will be due after the 2bth of September next. Only those that have lost an arm or a log are entitled to allowances. If a man has lost only a part j of his hand, he is not entitled to the allow ance for the loss of an “ arm below the el bow.” If only a part of a foot has been amputated, the applicant is not entitled to the sum allowed for a “ log amputated lie- low the knee.” The law at present makes no provision for any kind of a disability, except for an arm or leg. Payments are made to ex-con federates who enlisted from other states, provided they were living in Georgia in September, 1879, and have since resided therein. All Georgia soldiers now living in this state are entitled to these allowances, although they may have resided elsewhere at the date of the passage of the original 879). If they are now orgia, they are ben- ot < ~ act (September, 1: bona fide citizens of efleiaries. Under the act of 1884, any ex confederate who has had an arm or leg amputated since the war, on account of old wounds received during the war, is entitled to an allowance once in every three yenre, from December 24, 1884, the date of the passage of the act. Under the act of October 15, 1886, ‘ disabled confederate soldiers who have lost a limb or limbs, and who failed to draw for any year or years the amounts of money to which they have been entitfed under the several acts passed in their favor may make application now.” and upon filing with the governor proper proof will be paid the allowances not heretofore drawn. The total number on the list is 853. Ev ery letter in the alphabet is represented. There are but nineteen Smiths, only four of whom are John Smiths.
