morning.
A Reward Offered.
The governor of Alabama has offerred a reward
of $200 for an unknown person who burned Mr.
lUges’ginnery in Russell county. Mr. Illgos and
his neighbors also offer $200 more, making $400
in all.
The Public Library.
The librarian requests us to say that he will
begin to-day to issue books to the members of
the public library again. The Indies’ committees
will meet this aflernoon at 4 o’clock to report the
result of tbeir labors.
The Cotton Crop.
From reports received dally at this city there
seems to bo no doubt that the cotton crop will be
Short. The fermers all agree that tlioy will not
make much more than half a crop. The top crop
has been almost entirely lost by the recent dry
weather. There is a general demand for rain.
A SoriouN Accident.
Robert, the fourteen-year-old son of Mr. Henry
Bonner, of Stinson, happoued to a serious acci
dent yesterday. He was bearing off lumber at a
•aw mill, when he was caught by a piece and
thrown against the saw. One of his hips was
badly out, and while the wound is not considered
dangerous, it is nevertheless ugly and painful.
Judge Chilton.
Judge Chilton, of the third circuit court, has rev
Signed. He went home sick, but so far as any
body knows has no intention of laying down his
office till his time expires.—Montgomery Adver
tiser.
The Advertiser, no doubt, inteuded to say that
Judge Chilton had not resigned, but simply went
homo sick.
Columbus Unptist Association.
The Columbus Baptist Association will meet
with the Baptist church at Talbotton to-day.
Rev. R. H. Harris, Mr. H. S. Estes and Prof. II.
W. Battle, and probably others, will be present
as delegates from the First Baptist church. Rev.
J. W. Howard and Mr. J. C. Reedy will be pres
ent to represent the Second Bnptist church. The
Bession will no doubt be largely attended
Ksilway Earnings in 1KS6.
Each month's report of railway earnings now
continues to show a very encouraging increaso
in the aggregate, compared with the previous
year, testifying unmistakably to the general im
provement in business throughout the country.
From the table for August it, appears that seven
ty-three roads with mileage of 63,287 miles, or
over forty per cent of the total mileage of the
country, show gross earnings aggregating $24,-
939,906.
The County Registration.
The county registration books will close to
day. Tho registrars will keep open until 6 o’clock
and those who fail to register will be effectually
disfYauchised, so far as all the fall and winter
elections are concerned. Up to yesterday ovening
only 400 in the up-town and 501 iu the lower-
town district had registered. There ought to be
a thousand in each district. No white man
should fUil to register, as no one can tell what
questions^may arise during the next few months
upon which it may be necessary to vote.
The Fate of Sinners.
On Sunday morning next Rev. Walker Lewis,
pastor of Bt. Paul church, will begiu a series of
sermons on “The Fate of the Finally Impeni
tent.” Mr. Lewis has devoted considerable
research to the preparation of these sermons,
and they will doubtless instruct as well as edify.
He has never been accused of heterodoxy; but he
does his own thinking, keeps out of the well
worn grooves, and in matters of opinion, calls
no man master. “The Fate of the Finally Im
penitent” ought to be an interesting subject to
a great many people, aud those who attend the
services on Sunday morning will tiud that Mr.
Lewis’ views arc unstereotyped and novel, and
that the preacher will be abundantly able to
give a reason for the faith that is in him.

THE KNIGIITH OF LABOR.
They Nominate Can ill dates for County and City
Office*.
“Did you know that the Knights of Labor had
nominated a ticket?” asked a prominent citizen
of an Enqdirer-8un reporter last night.
“No; tell me about it.”
“Well, they tell mo that at their meeting last
night they nominated John Woolfolk for tax
collector, Woolfolk Walker <br tax receiver, Dan
Duncan for marshal, Abe Odom for city sexton
and H. C. Hargett for the legislature.”
“Do you know that to be a feet?” asked the re
porter.
“I see no reason to doubt it. I have hoard it
several times during the day, and suppose it
must be true.”
Later in the night an Enquirer-Sum reporter
saw a prominent Knight of Labor, showed him
the ticket and asked him If It was correct.
He merely nodded assent, and asked us to pub
lish tho feet that the male members of the order
will hold a mass meeting to-morrow night by
order of the chairman of the executive com
mittee.
PROMINENT SOUTHERN UYCLI8TS.
A Brief Biographical Sketch of a Young Colum
bus Wheolmaa.
“The Bicycle 8onth” publishes the following
sketch of a Columbus bicyclist, headed by an ex
cellent cut of the handsome young subject:
“We have decided upon devoting a portion
of our space each month to the presentation
of the likeness and a sketch of some prominent
southern wheelman. Had a vote been taken
among our readers as to who should first be
introduced to them in this series, we feel posi
tive that Mr. Ingram would have been almost
unanimously selected. Ho is one of the finest
riders in the south, has labored earnestly for
the promotion of wheeling interests in this sec
tion and his pppularity extends far beyond the
limits of his personal acquaintanceship. No
wheelman has ever approached Columbus, Ga.,
without having received a warm welcome from
General Tom Ingram. His hospitality is pro
verbial, and all those who have come in contact
with him number him among their most valued
friends. Southern nmatcurdom is proud of his
membership and h#pes to retain him long in the
ranks.
“Mr. Ingram was born on March 13, 1864
and is therefore in his twenty-third year. He is
five feet ten inches in height and weighs 140
pounds. Mr. Ingram was attracted to the bicycle
in 1883, and commenced wheeling in March of
that year. He rode until July and was compelled
to stop. In May, 1881, he returned to his favorite
pastime. His first race was for the^Georgia
championship on July 4, and he won il credita
bly. He has won every state championship since
then, except the ten mile race on July 17, 1886.
On the 6th of last July, at Macon, Ga., he feiled
to get a position in the three-mile handicap, and
was seconel in two races. With these three ex
ceptions lie has taken first place in every race in
which he entered.
“Mr. Ingram is a tireless and enthusiastic rider.
In 1885 he wheeled 3284 miles, including a trip
from Baltimore, Md., to Springfield, Mass. He
was on his bicycle every day this year up to July
16, and had covered 3210 miles. iWith the ex
ception of one full, which he sustained while
riding with the New Orleans to Boston tourists,
he wheeled fr om July 16, 1881, to July 16,1886,
without fell or injury of any kind—a record, con
sidering tho roads, probably unbeaten. His
twenty-four hours record of 102 miles was
straightaway and can be appreciated when one
has been over the roads in the vicinity of Colum
bus, Ga.
“Mr. Ingrain joined the L. A. W. In 1885 and
has always taken a lively interest in Its affairs.
While remaining an ardent devotee of the wheel
ho declares that he has retired from the track
and will not race again. He is a graceful rider,
coasts sand hills as if they were level roads, is
fell of grit, and was a leading spirit of the south
ern race track while he adhered to it. Although
lie will race uo more, he can be depended upon
to develop now riders and continue to zealously
frirther the interests of cycling.”
FIrdoss Locomotive*.
At the Baldwin Locomotive Works there are
in course of construction four locomotives which
are designed to be run on the Honigman princi
ple, by the use of soda, which takes the place of
file in the boiler. The engines are now nearly
finished and are to be shipped shbrtly to Minne
apolis, Miun., to be run on the streets of that
city, where steam engines are forbidden. In de
scribing them the Philadelphia Record says:
“The engine has much tije same appearance as a
passenger car. It is about sixteen feet long, en
tirely boxed in, with no visible smoke
stacks or pipes, as there is no
exhaust or refrise. The boiler is of copper,
Hiy.j inches in diameter, and 15 feet long,
having tubes running tnrough it, as in steam
boilers. Inside the boiler will be placed five tons
of soda, which upon being dampened by a jet of
steam, produces an intense heat. When the
soda is thoroughly sat united, which will occur in
about six hours, the action ceases, and then it is
necessary to restore it to its original state by
forcing through the boiler a stream of super
heated steam from a stationary boiler, which
drives the moisture entirely from the soda, when
it is again ready for use. The exhaust steam
from the cylinders is used to saturate the soda,
and by this means all refuse is used. These engines
are the first of their kind that have been built
in this country, and are being constructed under
the supervision of George Kuchler, a German
engineer. The engines will have about the same
power as those on the New York elevated roads,
and will readily draw four light cars. Soda en
gines are now used iu Berlin and other European
cities very successfully, and they also traverse
the St. Gothard tunnel, under the Alps, where
steam engines cannot be used, because the
length of the tunnel renders it impossible to
devise a system of ventilation which will carry
off the foul gases generated by a locomotive.
So overpowering would those gases become that
suffocation would ensue.”—Baltimore Journal of
Commerce.
You ('aii Tuko Out Rook*.
Owing to the late increase in membership, the
directors of the library agree that the books be
again put in circulation. The people are enthused
with a proper pride. This result is in the largest
measure due to the ready and cheerftil work
done by the lady friends of the library. To them
be accorded a fell meed of praise, for their zeal
ous and prompt canvass for new members. It is
a shame to any city taxpayer that he has to be
approached to become a member of the library.
The library is a moral, social and intellectual
help. Make tho library rooms your headquarters.
The latest English, American, German, Russian
and French novels adorn it shelves.
If one does not wish to read a good, stirring
novel, he can there find disquisitions for tho
most concentrated mental effort— even to Ketten-
8chluss; or better still, study the works of the
world’s historians.

The Minstrel* Last Night.
Wilson A Rankin’s minstrels gave their one
performance in the opera house last evening.
The traditional weakness of the American public
for burnt cork artists was folly exemplified by the
house that greeted the minstrels last night. The
opera house was crowded with the best people of
Columbus, and the minstrels had no cause to
complain at the reception that was given them.
The jokes were all new with one etoeption—a
rare record for any minstrel troupe. And perhaps
such an avelanche of puns never overwhelmed
any audience before their troupe took the road.
While belles-lettre aurhorities have denominated
punning as the lowest order
of wit, English speaking people
are partial to it, inasmuch as- the pun illustrates
more than anything else the wonderfol elasticity
of the English tongue. The droll way in which
the end men delivered themselves last night was
of itself convulsing, and this drollery was sup
ported by some of the latest gags and puns.
George Wilson, though, became the pet of the
audience from the start. He simply captured
the house—took it by storm. His recitations,
jokes, puns and- songs were all received with
vociferous applause. He has few if any equals
in his line on the stage.
Taken in its entirety the performance was
above the average, and the audience were felly
satisfied that they had got their money’s worth.
A Terrible Tragedy Reported.
The Early County News has the following:
“ A report reached our town on Sunday even
ing that a man named Hightower was drowned
in the Chattahoochee river in the fore part of the
day. The report stated that Mr. Hightower had
been addressing a Miss Wingate, of Henry coun
ty, Ala., and that on her refusal to marry him he
pulled out his pistol and shot her dead. He made
his way towards the river with a view to cross,
but was so closely followed by the sheriff, that
when he got to the river he left his horse and
plunged in to swim across. The
sheriff being unable to follow him,
commenced shooting at him. Whether
he hit him or not seems to be uncertain, but he
was seen to sink and never rose again. When
this report first reached us, it was stated to have
occurred at Howard’s landing, but it was after
wards stated to be at Columbia. This has also
been contradicted, and wo are not right certain
now that there is any truth in it. This,we know,
however, that a man came to Blakely on Sunday
evening who claimed to have witnessed the af-
feir.”
Miss Wingate, we learn, was a si9ter of Mr. C.
B. Wiugate, pilot of the steamer Naiad, who is at
present coming around on the steamer Pactolus
from Jeffersonville, Ind. Nothing iB known here
of the rumored tragedy.

are never too busy to give information or show
our goods, whether you buy or not. In the last
few days we have received a lot of the prettiest
and best made Tooth Brushes to be obtained,
specially imported for our trade. So much
trouble is experienced from the bristles coming
out of brushes. In the one we are offering this
objection is obviated.
We are now headquarters for the Oakley Soap

magnificent line of their goods we are selling at
living prices. Our stock of Hair, Toctli, Nail and
Scrubbing Brushes, Ivory, Celluloid, Rubber and

Recent heavy additions to our Toilet Goods
line now gives us the largest, most meritorious

“Not a Question of Bruins.”
Wichita, Kan., August 22,1886.
To the Agent of the Mutual Life—Dear Sir:
Success in this world is not a question of brains.
Last winter I made the acquaintance of a gen
tleman who used to be worth $250,000. During
these years he took out $11,000 15 year en
dowment in the Mutual Life. When it had run
11 years he broke up in busiuess and lost all but
his policy, for which the company paid him
$8,000. This gave him a second start. He said:
“If I had not taken an endowment policy I
would now have to work by the day, as the
money paid for the insurance would have gone
into the business.” Respectfully,
. D. C McKinnon.
Need we say anything relative to the advisa
bility of preparing a financial umbrella for the
proverbial “rainy day” by taking a policy in the
Mutual Life. D. F. Willcox,
