■ * v' 1 ■ 1 DAILY ENQUIRER - SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 19, 1886. RUSTICUS RACKET. fi«o<l (armInx thi‘ lla«l« of Pfonperlly —Some Val ualiln SiiKKt“'l Ions. OomisjHimlcncc Enquirer-Bun. Agriculture is the leading industry of this country. It Is the source from which •11 other trades, professions and industries •Ither directly or indirectly draw their life current. When agriculture languishes, then every other business feels the dopres- rion. It is conceded that the occupation of farming within the trading radius of Columbus in every direction for the post several years has not been a paying but ratbor a loosing business. Asa result from this, stagnation in a degree has set tled upon all occupations. In Bpite of this fret, however, there has been a steady though not rapid growth in the popula tion of our city, due in part to to the fact that some new industries nave been started ’Within our limits, and partly to the dispo sition of the country peoplo to run away from a business whose outlook was not encouraging, and partly to the fact that in OOntrast with the rural districts our city afforded most excellent educational ad vantages. Now, if by an v means the tide in farm ing affairs coulu turn; if this incubus could be lifted from the shoulders of the farmers; if this business could begin to pay; if once more they could visit, the city with their pockets well Oiled with the ducats as .the proceeds of prosperous farming, how quickly would the city feel the new life— now much more rapidly aud strongly Woul 1 throb tho pulse of her prosperity. Never, never can we hope for long ami rapi'i strides in our country’s growth, ex cept, perhaps, in a few localities highly favored by accidental circumstances, until our farmers luarn the secret, if secret it be, of how to make the farm pay, Whoever, therefore, will devise a plan, or plans, to accomplsli this, and will teach men so, will be indeed his country’s friend; Will deserve plaudits of his countrymen now, and have his name written high up in the niche of future fame. • On this line let me venture the sugges tion, that one of the troubles with the agriculture of this country now, is that it once knew a bewildering prosperity. Many of our methods now are such as came into vogue when that prosperity was at its zenith. The habits of business then formed havo adhered to us like so many leeches, sucking all the blood out of our present system. It is n great misfortune to acquire in prosperity such culture and tastes, such modes of thought and of action as comport only with a condition of prosperity, and then to have our riches “take wings and fly away,” leaving us with the habits of the rich, but without the means to support the habit. Like the pains of an old wound healed only on tho surface, these habits remain and add to our woes, discomforts and regrets, and serve to paralyze our efforts. If the habits of an effete system could pass away with ttie system, then great and sudden changes would not be so mischievous. If the present gener ation of farmers who have been set back in property ami possessions by revolution to where their fathers began life could bring themselves to adopt the habits of economy and self-reliance, which in the beginning prevailed with them, we might hope that soon again this once fair laud would speedily bloom and blossom with the fruits of n renewed prosperity. Will we do it, can we make the sacrifice, are We equal to the taHk? If not, then must We coutent ourHelves, then must we suc cumb to the lethargy of despair and con tinue to be tho seedy gentry of a manly and robust ancestry? Another trouble" has been that many formers, forgetting the maxims of pru dence, have struggled to make a splendid bound and by om leap vault upon the chariot of riches. Some have been even so Wild in their bastard efforts to get rich speedily as to go outsido of their legiti mate business, and invest in cotton futures Or other equally foolish speculations. But most of them have run their farms since the war on a speculative plan, and have banked their alt upon one east, of the die. It is true that now and then a man who is surrounded with all the circumstances fovorable for success, and is endowed with fine executive abilities may adopt a splen did and expensive line of operations in forming and may meet with great and even phenomenal success. Just so, a man may stake his money against faro bunk, or buy u ticket in a lottery ami may come out winner, hut the success of the one ought, not an 1 need not ho the allurement to lend others into tho venture. Some fish can swim in more difficult waters than others. Only such vessels as are fully prepared to ride the stormy sea ought ever to go far out from tho shore. Make haste slowly. Let us first .make a clean estimate of our present worth and then get right square down upon our own bottom and there build a sure foundation, and then olimb up ns we add one stone upon another or one dollar upon another. When OHee a man is sure of Ills footing he stands with confidence, and may calmly look Stemt him. When our fathers went into the forests they built, their cabins and then accommo dated their wants and their expenditures to the scantiness of their surrounding, and upon this rock did they afterwards erect those mansions in which were born the people of the present generation. The mansions remained but the habits of econ omy and industry passed away with the log cabin era. Now I don’t wish to lie understood ns discouraging enterprise, by no means, but enterprise upon a sure and steady basis is no more the same as speculative farming than fire which burns is the same as the “will o’ the whisp.” Our fnthors cultivated the virgin Boll. Our soil is old and worn. The natural in crease iu the slave population and the g rowth of their flocks and herds added in per cent, to values anyhow, whether or not they cleared anything on their active operations. Rusticus. RULES FOR TWO. S.uce fur the IlilAithlHtcil I’SHsenger ami wine the Conductor. New York Times. A dilapidated-looking gentleman boarded a Broadway car at Chambers street yester day afternoon aud stood on the rear plat form with a much worn and evidently abused cigar stump between his lips. The dapper-looking little conductor glanced somewhat contemptuously nt the dilapi dated looking gentleman’s frayed olive green coat, his trousers, which had seen the light of better days, and the huge imi tation ruby which, if real, might have scintillated in Victoria’s crown. The con ductor said nothing until the dilapidated gentleman took a vigorous puff from the cigar stump, and opening his mouth blew forth a volley of smoke, the stale fumes of which penetrated into the car and caused a meek little lady to cough and look indignant. “No smoking,” said tho conductor gruff ly. “No smoking, I say.”, The dilapidated-looking gentleman gazed with imbecile wrath at the conduc tor. But he pulled the cigar stump from his Ups, held it between his weather beaten, wart-covered fingers, and sat on the rail of the car, smiling at his thoughts. Onward went the car. It picked up two passengers only on its journey to Bleeeker street, and at that point accelerated its pace. The dilapidated gentleman mus ingly put the cigar stump between bis lips and allowed it to remain there. It was there for five minutes. “No smoking. I said,” angrily remarked the conductor at last. “Who’s smoking?” asked the dilapidated man. "You are.” “I’m not.” Tho dilapidated gentleman took the stump from his lips and showed it to the conductor. It was unlighted. “I don’t care,” quoth the conductor, sav agely. “Don’t look ns though you were smoking. Throw it away.” The dilapidated gentleman complied with the request. He jerked the cigar stump into the middle of the street, and east one last long lingering look alter It. By tills time every passenger save one had left the oar. The conductor was warm. He wiped his brow. Then he leaned hack upon the railing, pulled a crumpled newspaper from his pocket, and surrepti tiously read it. “Don’t read,” said the dilapidated gen tleman viciously. “It’s against the rules. You can’t attend to your duty when you are reading. Put that paper away.,’ If a look could have withered the dilap idated gentleman, he hod been instantly thus affected. The conductor grew crim- som with indignation. But he put away tho newspaper, and said ne’or a word. There was still only one passenger in the oar. The vehicle jolted onward until it reached Thirty-third street. Not a word was uttered by any one. The silence be came so monotonous that the dilapidated gentleman looked about him for amuse ment. Presently the conductor again pulled the newspaper from his pocket and laid it before his face, evidently to keep a scorching ray of sunlight from burning his flesh. “Conductor,” said the dilapidated gen tleman, "I said no reading.” “I’m not reading,” retorted the conduc tor with a menacing look. “You are.” “I’m not!”—furiously. The conductor pointed to the paper, which was turned upside down. "I don’t care,” said the dilapidated gen tleman, wrathfully; “don’t look ns though you were reading. Give it to me.” The dilapidated gentleman leaned for ward, tore the sheet from the conductor’s bund, and before that injured being could recover from his surprise was a quarter of a mile down Thirty-seventh street. GOOD FOR BASHFUL MEN. Ktl(|iletl<■ iin If lV'rts Practiced in lln- llimiilhin Country. By the established Hawaiian custom and etiquette it was formerly the female who was the suitor when a marriageable mate of the opposite sex was sought. This was a good plan for the bnshful men, but some times would render members of the mas culine sex liable to the charge of ungal lant conduct. It is told that .1 convert to the Christian religion, who was much in terested in tlie welfare of his . juI, was sought in marriage by a good-lodging fe- mnFqwho was in the ranks of the ungodly, and the man replied to her suit that he must think of the salvation of his soul, aud then he might he ready to think of her. In many instances the "beauty of the women has been too much for the men to withstand, and they have asserted their rights ns lords and masters, and asked the girls. One poor fellow was once asked why lip was not married, and lie answered sadly that none of the girls hud asked him. The story is told that once several couples came to the missionary to be married. When they were directed to join hands with their partners one man was found without any intended wife, and was asked where the damsel was. “Oh,” replied the bridegroom, “she is at the door putting on her frock;” and, as she delayed appear ing, he went niter her, and sooii returned, after helping to arrange the bridal dress, and the bonds were duly forged. The Sandwich Islands is' the only place where squeaking shoes are fully appre ciated. The natives regard it as an im portant part of the footwear, and cheer fully pay according to the amount of squeak furnished. Once when a shoe maker was applied to for shoes with the squeak in them, he asked his customer how much he would have put in—a penny’s worth, twenty-five or fifty cents’ worth, and tho native finally concluded he would take a whole dollur’s worth. Tim Sphinx slid Sew Discoveries, Tlie Academy. Tho Sphinx occupies a position where the encroachment of the desert is most conspicuous. At the present.day nothing is to be seen of the animal except its head mid its neck: but the old Egyptian monuments on which it is figured show not only tlie entire body down to the paws, but also a large square plinth be- iioatli, covered with ornaments. Since tlm time of the Greeks, perhaps even since tile reign of Thothmes IV., this plinth bos disappeared beneath the sand, and its very existence had been forgotten. It is geneiilly supposed that the Sphinx is hewn out ol a large isolated rock, which overlooked the plain. But M. Maspero’s researches suggest that it is a work yet more stupendous. He has proved that tlie Sphinx occupies the centre of an am phitheatre, forming a kind of rocky basin, the upper rim of which is about on a level with the head of the animal. The walls of this amphitheater, whenever visible, are cut by the hand of man. It seems proba ble. therefore, Unit In the beginning there was a uniform surface of rock, in which an artificial valley has been excavated, so i as to leave in the middle a block out of ! which the Sphinx was finely hewn. The I excavations now being carried on, will doubtless verify the existence of the plinth shown on the old paintings, and also furn ish evidence, by the ornamentation of the plinth, of the true age of the monument. M Mnspero is inclined to assign to it a very great antiquity—possibly higher than the early dynasties, i. e., than the first pe riod of Egyptian history. As the result of lust winter’s work the sand around the Sphinx has already been lowered by about <S0 meters. EX-GOVERNOR A,H,STEPHENS'COUSIN I am first coital n of the late Ex-Governor Alex- under H. Stephens, and have been postal clerk on different railroads since !8tw. For ten years I have been a sufferer from a cancer on my face, which arrow worse until the discharge of matter became profuse and very offensive. I became thorouarhly disgusted with blood purifiers and pronounced them humbugs, as 1 had tiled many without relief. Finally I was induced to uae B. B. B., which was about the 1st of February, and continued its use until the latter part of April. The offensive discharge decreased at once and the hardness around the cancer disappeared. It improved my general health aud I rapidly gained fleBh and strength. The discharge gradually decreased and the cancer became less and less in size until nothing Remains except a scar to tell the tale of a once dangerous cancer. All who have seen me rince I have commenced the use of B. B. B. bear testimony of my'great improvement, and the scar on ray face shows that it cured the cancer. I And that B. B. B. comes squarely up to what it is recommended, and I cannot say too much in praise of this wonderful medicine. I have tried them all, but B. B. B. stands at the top os a blood purifier. The above is copied from the Athens (Ga.) Ban ner-Watchman, being the voluntary language of Mr. James A. Greer, which Editor Gantt in dorses : “Mr. Greer is an honest, upright citizen of Athens, who had bad cancer, and his numerous friends thought that he could not live very long, as the cancer was gradually sapping the founda tion of his constitution, but now looks well and hearty.” 2 AGAINST 18. Several physicians have pronounced my dis ease blood poifton, caused by paint or lead in the paint, but they could not cure me. Last summer I used eighteen bottles of a largely ad vertised blood medicine, which did me no more good than so much water. I have used only two bottles of 13. B. B. and am proud to say that I have received greater benefit from them than from the eighteen, and am how rupidly recovering. There is no question about the superiority of B. 13.11. overall blood reme dies. W. H. Woody. 215 Reynolds street, Augusta, Ga., April 21, 1886. FLESH SLOUGHING OFF IN PIECES. For two years I have been confined to bed with a loathsome form of Blood Poison, which had about eaten me up, and I and others had no hope of a recovery. For a while I could neither walk, sit down, nor lie down, only in misery, as my flesh seemed to be falling off my bones in pieces as big as a lien egg. My appetite was lost, my bones ached and pained me, and friends even shunned me. I used various blood-purifiers with out benefit, and several physicians treated me until large sums of money had been expended, but not one particle of good did any one give me. On the 19th of February. 18HG, Mr. F. R. Jackson celled to see if I was not dead, as it was thought 1 could not endure my suffering much longer. He concluded to try 13. 13. 13. on me and got a bot tle from Mr. Brockinglium. at Beaufort, S. c., and before one bottle had been used I com menced gaining strength, my appetite improved, sores commenced healing, and when two bottles had been used 1 was on my feet and walking around, to the astonishment of everybody.

At a certain residency, one of the finest in northern India, there is a foun tain constantly playing, and iu the early morning the parrots gather together in vast numbers to drink and bathe in its running waters and basin. To see their graceful curves and upward flights before dashing through and just skimming the surface of the water, with their unbounded joy and delight in so doing, was a picture of ecstatic, ideal, living happiness difficult to surpass. The parrots of this residency are almost‘tame, for every morning iour or live caged ones are let loose to be fed, and down come nil the wild ones to share their feast. The early morning is the time to see these birds at their brightest and best. At tlie first glimpse of the rising sun they forsake - their night's rest ing place s and fly shrieking forth in search of food, and on many a tree jhey may be seen pulling off the precious berries and fruits. Alas! the mahil’s (gardener’s) heart does not warm to parrots, for their nature is to work destruction wherever they go, and they pick off and destroy far more than they eat, as the unripe man goes lying at the foot of a mango tree will testify. Seeing my admiration of and my enjoy ment in these green parrots, my friends with whom I was stopping decided it would be nice for me to have two to take back to England with me. In vain I rep resented to them that it was the beauty and life of the wild ones I admired, and that I thought caged ones would be sorry representatives of their kiud. But, no, the fates would have it otherwise. THE- CLINGMAN TOBACCO OINTMENT iHli: .HOST liFFMCTIVE 1MCEIMK4. T ION on tho market for Pilas.

M erected in the most substantial and convenient manner. It is simple in construction, and so well illustrated by the cut, that scarcely a word is needed by way of explanation. Being simply an Iron Screw and Xnt substituted for wood, the wood work of its construction, and the manner of operating it, are subslar stantially the same as in the old style of wooden plantation screw, but the timbers required are not so heavy or long. Most planters of experience prefer the wooden screw to any of the more modem Cotton Presses in use, but tlie difficulty and uncertainty of controlling labor and mechanical skill in the season of the year most convenient to the planter for their erec tion, usually renders it a matter of economy, as well as necessity, with him, to buy some kind of Press that requires but little mechanical skill to put it in operation. ••CJoltlen’a Screw,” Is a sort of compromise between the old style of wooden screw and the modern Cotton Press, combining the. principal advantages of the former with the convenience and economy of the latter. It can be operated with greater facility than the wooden screw, and the rapidity of its performance, like that of the wooden screw, or any other press, depends upon its management—as on the old style screws some planters would pack ten bales, and others thirty or thirty-five bales per day. Any ordinary mechanic who can make a good plantation gate, or common plow stock, can do the wood work. Within the last eleven years we have made and sold b great many of these screws, and have yet to hear of the first one that has not given entire satisfaction. We furnish all the Iron Work for these Screws, of which we make two sizes, and frilly warranted. ie20 wed ,se*w6m Gin Houses Insured, Alfto Cotton and Machinery Therein, by JOHN BLACKMAR, General Insurance Agent.
