Kind and Appreciated WorilK from Enquircr-Su:i
Exchanges.
Our state exchanges, and those from other
states, have spoken very kindly of the last Sun
day’s edition of the Enquirer-Sun. In order

manufacturing city.—Early County News.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun of Sunday, was

new pin typographically, and is a creditable
oheetin every way.—Hamilton Journal.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun steps to the front
with an elegantly printed and splendidly ar
ranged trade issue, full of facts aud figures bear
ing upon the past, present and future, of the
state and city of Columbus. Columbus is a rep
resentative Georgia city, full of pluck, enterprise \
And life. She has a great future before her aud
lies in the track of great railroad lines that will
hasten her prosperity.—Macon Telegraph.
It gave a full history of the present condition

HANDSOMEST IN GEORGIA.
Last Sunday’s issue of the Columbus En-
quireu-Sun is by all odds the handsomest paper
ever issued in Georgia. There are twenty-eight
pages, all filled with evidences of Columbus’ en
terprise and prosperity. The papers seem to
have been carefully prepared and are all interest
ing, giving the reader a fair idea of the magni
tude and variety of the city’s trade. The citi
zens of Columbus should feel proud of this issue
of the Enquirer, as it is a finer monument than
any that could be made of biass or marble. —
Americus Recorder.
IT WAS A DAISY.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun’s trade edition
of last Sunday of twenty-eight pages is a daisy.
It is beautifrilly printed, and is a complete epi
tome of the history of the business interests and
enterprises of Columbus. It makes a magnificent j
showing for the Lowell of the South, and proves
conclusively that no city in this section has made i
greater snides in commercial and manufacturing |
progress than she has. The number before us is j
a credit to the city as well as the olhce from j
which it emanated.—Gainesville Eagle.
AHEAD OF ITS TOWN.
Yes, it was the biggest thing ever gotten up in j
this section. It took time, money, intelligence j
and labor to get that up. This trinity of human j
elements is all represented there, and it is a !
credit to every man who contributed to its J
creation; it is a credit to Columbus, too. In !
fact, the Enquirer-Sun is in advance of Colum- ,
bus, and it is because her people do not keep ]
step to the music it makes, that Columbus is i
still behind.
There are a great many “fossilized reminiscen
ces” in Columbus, and the Enquirer is all the
time pricking them with its progressive spear
but has a hard job to wake them up. But it wul
succeed.; Under its influence the queen city will
put on her robes of state and in the not distant
future will be all the Enquirer is striving for.
Go ahead, gentlemen, the brain and muscle work
you are doing now is broad cast upon the waters,
and will return to you in the not distant fiiture.
A prophet is not without honor save in his own
country, but to you this honor will come at last,
when, shaking the fetters from her limbs, your
city shall march abreast in the column of pro
gress and prosperity. We doff our beaver to you
in respectful recognition of all you have done and
are doing for Columbus.—Russell County Reg.

HEWITT AND HIS WORKMEN.
Thousands Ilf Thrifty Families Supported by Ills
Industries.
Trenton, October 17.—'The traveler
from Philadelphia to New York on the
Pennsylvania railroad invariably bus bis
attention attracted as the train passes over
the Delaware bridge into Trenton by a
cluster of curling columns of smoke along
the river bank on the Jersey side. A
nearer view shows the extensive New Jer
sey steel and iron works in full
operation. So long as the hum of
industry is heard there South Tren
ton’s thousands of thrifty families
are happy. Half a mile back from the
river is another busy hive—the Trenton
Iron works—of smaller proportions, but
yet an important factor in the city’s pros
perity. With both these concerns Abram
S. Hewitt, of New ‘York city, has been
identified from the start. Their history is
the history of Trenton’s progress. The
New Jersey Steel and Iron Works were
established in 184.5 by Peter Cooper, but
little was accomplished until 1847, when
Abram S. Hewitt, Edward Cooper and
James Hall were added to the firm. At
that time Trenton was a mere village with
no industries worth mentioning. South of
the spot where Cooper & Hewitt’s mill was
located only farm land was visible. The
establishment of the “rolling mill,” as it
was called, was a great event, and the
demand for three score employes startled
the quiet community. A five-acre tract of
land and a single building sufficed for tbe
business of the new company. Sirce then
trade has grown, and the live-acre tract
has developed till the works at present
cover twenty-four acres. Instead of one
little building there are a dozen large ones,
and instead of a few score of employes, ■
t here are often as many as 1200. This, too,
does not include the Trenton iron works, j
an outgrowth of the old New Jersey anduu- j
der the same management, which employs |
abdut 000 hand- and whose buildings cover j
eleven acres. The latter works eomprise
a roiling and a wire mill, with ail annual
capacity in the rolling mill of 15,000 tons
aud in the wire department of 20,000 tons.
The plant of the New Jersey works con-:
sists of twenty-seven engines with a
capacity of about 1000 horse power,
thirteen puddling furuances, thirteen
heating furnaces, seven trains of rolls and
five steam hammers. The annual capacity |
of the works is 22,000 tons. Independent
of the Trenton iron works Abram 3. |
Hewitt and his colleagues pay in wages
annually in this city an average of $3118,-
000.
It is generally conceded here that noth
ing has contributed as much to Trenton’s
growth and prosperity as the industry '
which Cooper & Hewitt established here, j
It built up south Trenton into a thriving, j
thickly-settled section. During the busi- ;
ness depression following the great !
money panic of 1873, the new Jersey !
steel and iron works struggled on, endeav- j
oring to keep a force of men at ,
work, although at a constant loss to !
the firm, Their example lias also j
rought many other valuable manu
facturers to Trenton. The iron trade alone j
gives employment to nearly 1000 persons !
and represents an investment of several
million dollars. A feature at both the' !
New Jersey and Trenton works is the i
pleasant relations that has always existed
between employer and employed. There ;
has never been any serious trouble over
wages. The company have not pretended
to pay extravagant wages in any case, bm
they have paid whatever trade justified, 1
anti the employes, knowing this, have been
contented and happy. One of the best j
proofs of the friendly relations referred !
to is the long service given to the company ]
by its employes. Some of the men who ;
were in the mill in 1845, are still there.
“I don’t know an instance,” said Super- I
intendent Stokes in reply to an inquiry, j
“where a man has been discharged owing i
to old age.”
Superintendent Stok&s himself lias been
with the .company a quarter of a century. ;
Old Bobbie Lambert has been in the com
pany’s employ forty years. He began when
an active young man as a millwright. He
is now deaf and gray-haired and makes his
way around supported by a cane. He is
about the mill every day, and his wages ,
come regularly every Saturday night. Of
course, the service he renders nowadays is ;
not heavy, but the company remember ;
that the vigor of his youth was spent in
their interest. While Bobbie is the oldest
employe, there are numbers of others who
have grown gray in the works, and who
to-day draw their pay more as pensioners 1
than workmen. The men have only the
kindliest things to say of their employers.
“It’s too bad,” said one veteran iron ,
worker this afternoon, “that there are not
more Hewitts and more Coopers in charge
of the mills of this country. If there were
we wouldn’t hear so much ol strikes and
lockouts. I’ve been in the company’s em
ploy twenty-eight years, and never had a
oross word said to me. Many s the hun
dred dollars I’ve drawn from them. I have
a nice property in my old age, and there i
are lots of others like me. My sons are
now working in the same mill.”

INTRODUCING THE PARIS “SALON.”
How Mm. Ihdilirrcn is IloiiiK to Fliruro In Wait*
innii.it Six-lot) 'tills Winter.
Washington, October 17.-Mrs. Ad
miral Dahlgfcii, tne novelist mm social
queen, who lias lived in retirement tne
past two years, will take her place in
\Vushingtoii society once more this win
ter. It is understood, too, that silo pro
poses to carry into effect some ideas of
ners which are likely to revolutionize the
mode of entertaining here. During her
last winter at the capital it will be remem
bered that she was the centre of
a literary society composed ol'
the most talented men and wo
men in Washington, which met in her
parlors frequently and which had for its
object the cultivation ol conversation as a
line art. So*different was aer mode of en
tertaining from me usual gossipping, tire
some receptions Unit, she soon attracted
wide attention, and was an object of envy
very generally. Now she intends to enter
tain in her magnificent mansion, niter the
style of the quondam Paris “salon” and
realize fully the ideas which were just
crystallizing when she was here before.
She is a woman of broad, oullured mind
devoted to literature and art, and heartily
tired of the so culled amusements widen
now take up the time of society.
She intends to make her par
lors something more than a place
lor exchanging light commonplaces and
dealing out scandal. She wants to intro
duce intellectual enjoyments! to draw
around her the best minus in public and
private life; to elevate society oouveraat'on,
m a word, (o accomplish wiiat was accom
plished by Mine. De Stael and other intel
lectual French women in their salons.
She is tlie woman to succeed in suon an
undertaking, too. In the first place, she is
very wealthy. Besides her fine residence
here and a considerable amount ol' valu
able unimproved real estate, she owns a
castle home at South Mountain, Mil., over
looking the battlefield, and a tuousand
or more acres of the finest land
in Maryland. Siie lias a good
income from government bonds
and stock investments. So she has the
prestige of wealth to begin with. Next,
she has beauty, and youth, too—at least so
far as appearance goes. She is a hand
some, weli-preservea woman under tort/
and apparently not yet thirty. She lias
the queenly iorm and movement, winch
go so far to give a woman tne lead in
social circles. Her manners are graceful,
her tact perfect and her conversation bril
liant. Having been muon of a student all
her life, she has a highly cultivated minu
stored with curious knowledge. Dis
tinguished public men who have heard
her talk declare that she is the niost re
markable woman liiey ever met. While
possessing the usual feminine talent for
miking nonesense when occasion requires,
she can converse well on politics, political
economy, science and literature, so that
she can meet her guests oi every descrip
tion on their owu ground. She has also
the prestige of authorship, and successful
authorship. Her first book—a life of her
stepson, Col. Ulrich Dahlgren—was widely
praised. “Legends of South Mountain,”
published four years ago, added much to
her literary reputation, and her caricature
of Washington society winter before last
made her name familiar to readers all over
the country. A now novel which she has
in press and which will be out in time for
the opening of the winter season will
doubtless add to her fame,
Mrs. Dahlgren is a deeply religious
woman. When in Washington she can be
seen at St. Matthew’s Catholic church
nearly every morning at mass, and whe -
at her South Mountain country house she
is a regular attendant at her private
chapel, which she built and maintains at
her own expense. It is said that in her
forthcoming novel tlie leading character
will be a young minister who is troubled
with religions, and who filially reaches
the haven of truth in the Catholic church.
Mrs. Dahigren’s re-entrance into Wash
ington society is sure to cause a flurry
among tlie leaders. Sonic of tlie cabinet
ladies will have to look to their laurels.
They must successfully imitate Mrs.
Dahlgren or fall behind her. Very few
of them eun get up a successful imitation,
for it is hard to find any who have all
her qualifications. Some have wealh,
some have beauty, and others again have
talent, but it takes all these to entertain
in tne manner Mrs. Dahlgren proposes.

Augusta Chronicle.
About aix weeks ago the question as to
who would have the Central railroad sys
tem was the all-absorbing theme for dis
cussion in Georgia. The question is again
mooted, aud the question as to who will
be president is still u matter of considera
ble doubt. The friends of General E. P.
Alexander are not without hope, whilst
the friends ot Major Raoul, the present in
cumbent, pose in an apparently self-satis
fied position.
“What means the difference of four
points for stock with voting privilege and
that without it?” Asked the Chronicle’s
stock man of a prominent broker.
“Why,” said he, “you know that no
stock of the Central railroad that is trans
ferred after October 1 can lie voted in the
January election, and consequently stock
with voting privilege will easily bring
four points more than the ordinary stock
without voting privilege.”
“What is the occasion of the difference,
and who is buying the stock?”
“The question as to who is buying the
stock is one that is clothed in great doubt,
but the fact that over u thou and shares
have gone to New York in the past few
days means something. Every system of
railroad from the east or west would like
to obtain the Central, and the great sys
tems of the east are looking to the south
for business, and any one who thinks that
the control of the Central system is not
going to be fought for at the c. oiling elec
tion will be badly mistaken.”
“There is a great deal going on,” con
tinued the banker, “in railroad circles,
and it is safe to assert that a lively time
may be looked forward to.”
“Arc any of the Augusta brokers mixed
up in the deal ?” asked the reporter.
“Yes,” replied he. “Major Branch has
been north, and is mysterious about his
connection with the deal. Mr. John Jay
Cohen is now in New York and has been
one of the largest purchasers of the stock
during the last deal, and Mr. James U.
Jackson sold over five hundred shares ol
the stock in the last few days.”
There are rumora of t,hc consolidation
of the Louisville and Nash ilie, the Wes
tern and Atlantic and the Central system,
under one nianagemc >:. Such a stupen
dous combination would cause consider
able excitement i' or- railroad world.

Philadelphia. October 1(1.—As might
be expected in this republican stronghold,
there was n groat outpouring of the faith
ful to hear the addresses of Mr. Blaine. He
spoke a-s lie was advertised to do. and
more. First lie addressed a jammed house
at the academy and followed by a stirring
little speech at horticultural hull adjoin
ing, in which there was held an overflow
meeting. This over, he was taken to t.lio
Union League club house, and was not al
lowed to puss its portals till be said some
thing mure to the thousands who hud fol
lowed him thither. Once in the club
house, ho liel a reception for the mem
bers and braced them with a few more
opinions.
SCENE OF ENTHUSIASM.
Never was there so much enthusiasm
over him or any other public man as thole
was here to-night. Bauds and corps of re
publicans wlio could not got into either of
the halls paraded the streets making night
hideous with their playing and yells.
While the speech was being delivered
overflow meetings wore held all along
Broad street, near the scene of Blaine’s
triumph. The crowd at the academy
was so great or the management of it ho
bad that even the reporters of papers de
tailed to report tho speeches could not get
in until an hour after Mr. Blaine begun
speaking. Mr. Blaine was applauded ul-
uio:.t alter every paragraph, the en
thusiasm being so gieat. Mr. Blaine in
his speeches touched upon every subject
of Interest in tlie local campaigns and
some of national importance.
THE WAGE QUESTION.
Time and time again he arraigned the
democrats, and at the academy closed
with the following hot shot: “I repeat
here that while you pay fl.75 to men who
are making pig iron in Pennsylvania and
Ohio, they are making pig iron in Alabama
and paying seventy-five cents a day, and
yet those two products must meet in the
same market. The democratic party is
answerable for it. They wish on the ono
side to break down the tariff and throw
th<? northern laboring man into competi
tion with foreign, ill paid labor, and at
the same time, by maintaining' the domi
nance of the southern democracy, to bring
up the 1,SOU,000 and soon to be 2,01)0,000
workers upon not more than half the
wages that northern men get, in
many cases not one-third of it. I
: wi's' talking with a distinguished soutli-
[ erner from North Carolina not long ago,
and speaking of the condition of the South-
! era laborer, he asked me what I thought
was the average cost of the house, if .you
, can dignify it with t at name, in which
the great majority of the field la orersol'
the south were sheltered, and he gave me
! tlie assurance that it was not more than $9
j —[laughter]—that the house that covers
these laborers who, by this nefarious po-
| litieul proceeding, are thrown into direct
1 conflict and direct competition with north
ern laborers, are sheltered in houses that
do not cost for their construction more
i than $10—not more than the average prieu
| ot a decent pig pen of a Pennsylvania
, farmer. [Great merriment.]
“Well,we are met finally in the columns of
such papers as the New York Times, the

j ‘what are you going to do about it?’

He Lost the Combination.
“Did you see the butchers’ parade?”
asked the snake editor of a casual caller
the other afternoon.
“Yes.”
“See that man throwing sausages at the
crowd?”
“Yes.”
“Well, I never sausage a thing before.”
“Ha! ha! Pretty good. Pll surprise my
wife with that when l get home.”
When the etutual caller arrived at homo
he said to his wife:
“My dear, in the 'butchers’ parade to-day
there was a man throwing sausages to the
spectators.”
“Was there?”
“Yes; and I never saw anything like that
done before.”
“Neither did I.”
He waited five minutes for his wife to
laugh, and then went out to wonder how
he lost the combination.—Pittsburgh
Chronicle.
Poison Oak.
Last Sunday, while at Mr. T. F. Hud
son’s, tho great hay and carp man, who is
perhaps better known than any farmer in
the state, we noticed that Ins son, DeWitt,
seemed to bo skinning oil* at the hands.
Mr. fl. called the little fellow to him and
showed us how the skin,even on the palms
of his hands, was coming off in flakes and
anew skin appearing underneath. He
explained that several years ago the child
was badl> poisoned with poison oak, and
every spring he broke out and suffered
greatly. lie had applied every known
remedy to relieve the sufferer, and em
ployed physicians to attend him, but with
no avail. “In fact,” Mr. Hudson con
tinued, “it seemed like to go in sight of a
poison oak .vine would cause t he eruption
to break out afresh. After trying every
thing else, I read in the Banner-Watch
man so much about the 8. 8. 8. blood med
icine that l determine to try that also, but
must confess that 1 had but little hope in
it. But, as you see, its success has been
wonderful. It has driven every particle
ol’the poison from my child’s Hystem,and is
now' putt ing a now skin on him. lie is
thoroughly cured, and the 8. 8. 8. did t he
good work, i believe that it will drive
out any kind ol’ poison from the blood,
and its effect on DeWitt proves it. There
area great many sufferers from poison oak
in the country, and to such 1 can know
ingly recommend t his great medicine. ft
not only effects a certain cure, but scorns
to put fresh life into one.”
This is only one of the numerous in
dorsements of 8. 8. 8. that ims reached us,
and we publish it as information to those
who are suffering wit h poison in t heir sys
tem, it matters not from what source it
comes. This discovery in regard to curing
the effects of poison oak L of great, import-
I ance, as it gives a certain remedy for a
most common and aggravating affliction,
for which no permanent relief had ever
been known. The 8. 8. 8. is certainly the
king of blood medicine, and is as harmless
as it is solvent for t he eradication of impure
blood from the system.—Athens Banner-
