Sonict^ng About 1h<* Blockade it This City.
ChargPH of DiNcriminstiou A gal lint Coluni-
bun.
For several weeks there has been a blockade
of cotton at the Central railroad yards at this
city. The cotton men have been complaining cc n"
siderably, but the railroad officials say it cannot
be avoided.
By comparing the receipts and shipments of
cotton from Columbus Inst year with this we
make the following statement:
Columbus had on 31st October, 1885, 34,257 boles
of cotton to be moved. Of this amount 18,195
bales were chipped over the Southwestern rail
road.
This year we had 31,916 bales to be moved, and
19,010 have been shipped over the Southwestern
railroad. In addition to the Columbus cotton
there was received of through cotton to October
41, 1885, and shipped over Southwestern railroad
12.857 hales, whilst to 3lst October, 1886, there has
been received 39,911 bales.
With 2341 bales less to be shipped this year.
Columbus has actually shipped 015 bales more
over the Southwestern railroad this year t' an
last; and In addition to this the through cotton
has increased 27,084 bales, so that the South
western hfts received at Columbus 28,899 bales of
cotton more than at this time last year. This in
crease has naturally caused quite a blockade at
Columbus, the receipts being greater than the
capacity of the compress to handle. Of course,
the Central moved cotton as rapidly as possible
Inst season, as there was competition via the
river. This year thero is no competition and
more cotton has been taken from Columbus than
last year.
CHARGES OF DISCRIMINATION.
A few days ago an Enquirer-Sun reporter
asked a prominent warehouseman for news.
The warehouseman replied that he had no news,
but there was one thing that he would like to
mention. He said that it was a noticeable fact
that more cotton was passing through Columbus
this year than ever before, especially over the
Columbus ami Rome railroad. He stated that
this coin puny would ship through cotton from
Chipley at 7 cents per hundred, when it charged I
22 cents per hundred for cotton shipped from 1
that point to Columbus. This, he said, was a
palpable discrimination against Columns.
Yesterday afternoon an Enquirer-SDn report
er saw Mr. W. L. Clark, general manager of the
Columbus and Rom t railroad, and stated to him
the complaint of the cotton merchant. Mr.
Clark replied that the complaint was unfounded.
He stated that the Columbus and Rome received
the same rate for cotton shipped direct to Savan.
nah or New York that it received for cotton
shipped to Columbus. He said that the company
could not refuse to give the people along the line
of the road a through bill of lading ifthey desired
it. If the company refused to do it, all the peo
ple hod to do was to appeal to the railroad com
mission.
The cotton merchant was seen again late yes
terday evening, aud his attention was called to
the statement of Mr Clark. He said that he did
not doubt tile truth of it so far as it related to
the Columbus and Rome railroad. He had no
doubt that the Columbus and Rome railroad re
ceived its local rate on all cotton, but he said it.
could not bo denied that the Central was giving
preference to through cotton. ITc claimed that
the rate from Chipley to Savannah was not.
the rate from Columbus to Savannah
with the Columbus and Rome h cal rate added,
but about twelve cents per hundred lees. He says
that a prominent Columbus shipper buys cotton
up the Columbus and Rome railroad because he
can get an immediate through bill of lading,
when if he buys it here lie is compelled to wait
about t^*o weeks to get a bill of lading. This, lie
claims, is not only the casj with the Columbus
and Koine, but with the !!?bile and Girard and
the Columbus and Western.
“What are you going to do about it ?” asked
the reporter.
“Submit, I guess, as we have always done.” j
“I thought I understood you to say you intend
ed to make a case before the commission?”
“We vill doit if we can. We are only waiting
for cx-Governor Smith to return to the city. We
will consult him, and if he thinks we can suc
cessfully make a caso before the commission ve
will do it.”

Run* »“!! at Bonus
The congressional election in the fourth dis
trict yosterduv was the quietest, iu many a year.
In this ci y, however, a fair vote was polled, con
sidering the fact that the people considered the
independent candidate a lame horse iu the race.
At the city box 577 votes were polled, < f which
569 were for Hon. Phos. W. Grimes, the demo
cratic nominee, and 8 for J. Y. Carmichael, the
independent. Thifty-five votes were Dolled at
Shingle Hill, all of which were for Grimes. No
other county precincts were heard from last
night. Specials to the Enquirer-Sun from a
large majority of the counties in the district show
a small vote, but the almost ununimous eleciion
of Hon. Thomas W. Grimes.

Death of an Aged Couple. r V"
Mr. John N. Barnett, treasurer of this tity, re
ceived the sad intelligence yesterday of the death
of his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Bar
nett, at Hickory, Miss. Mrs. Barnett died on last
Friday and Mr. Barnett on Sunday. Mrs. Bar
nett was 93 years of age and Mr. BarnettHvus 94
years and 9 month* old. In life they lived and
loved together and in death they were not di
vided. Such an incident under crrd'nary
circumstances would be sal indeed,
but this aged couple had long ''’passed
the allotted years of man, and quietly andpeace-
ftilly awaited the Munitions to a better and
brighter land. While they had been living in
Mississippi more than twenty years, they were
fora longtime residents of Russell county, and
had many friends in this city who will rend this
announcement with feelings of sorrow. '
Th
McIntyre & Heath’s minstrels gave a veVy en
tertaining performance at the opera house last
night. The music was perhaps the bes? that our
people have enjoyed this season, and the singing,
while not ex ra fine, was by no means poor.
Some of the specialties were very good. A pieas-
aut feature in the performance is the fconest
work the players do. All of them put energy and
zeal into their work and it goes a long way to see
them in earnest. There was no drag or waiting.
Taking it all in all; it is about as good as any
minstrel company that is now on tnc road. The
audience showed their appreciation in enthusias
tic applause, and several times the performers
were recalled.

Pel I from a Car.
Yesterday morning about 3 o’clock some one
reported to the police headquarters that a man
was lying in the road under the oulveit, at the
end of Eleventh street. Two policemen went
out with a cart and brought the unfortunate
man to the city. He said that his name was f.
E. Hill and tluvt he and another man had
boarded the 8:53 freight train Monday night to
steal a ride to Macon. They were both
under the influence of whisky. They
took their seats on the bumpers between two
freight cars, and while the train was passing over
the culvert, he fell to the ground, a distance of
about fifteen feet. When the policemen picked
him up he screamed manfully, and every time
the cart jolted he gave evidence of great suffer
ing. He was sent to the city hospital and Dr.
Cameron attended him. He found that Hill’s
back was badly bruised near the spinal column,
but does not think he is permanently injured.
Hill ia a northern man and had been in this city
three or four days. He was trying to beat his
way to Macon.

There is a great difference in the liability of
the t eth of different’ individuals to decay.
Even iu the same mouth, some teet.: are . more
susceptible to decay than the re t, owing to con
stitutional conditions at the time of their forma
tion. Beyond question, however, the chief cause
of caries is the fermentation and decomposition
of food about and between the t. eth. To prevent
this fermentation and decomposition uso Delec-

TOWN LOTS
For Male at Waverly Hall, Georgia.
We will offer for sale on December 1st, 188f, at
the above mentioned place, immediately on the
line of the Georgia Midland and Gulf railroad (a
new road that is being built from Columbus to
Athens, Ga., connecting with the Cential, East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, Richmond and
Danville railroads). Lots suitable for building,
residences, stores, etc. Waverly Hall is situated in
the “garden spot” of Georgia, forming lands
yielding above an overage. The best school and
church advantage* already established. Society
is as good as any city in Georgia or elsewhere.
People are alive to anything progressive, and
willing to lend a helping hand to any who may
locate in our midst , it is one of the best trade
point* in Harris county, being thickly populated
already, and only needs the new railroad now
being built to make it the nicest town in the state.
HealthfalneRs of the place is unexcelled. Water
the best. Between 2500 and 5000 bales of cotton
will be shipped from this point coming season.
This alone will be worth tlv consideration of
thoughtful business men who wish to do a good
business without having any heavy expense. To
those who wish to give their children the very
best educational advantages, our people especial
ly ask them to come and locate among us. All
parents are well aware of the- advantage of edu
cating their children in tire country than in the
cities in a moral point of view. Lots will be
s>*ld without reserve or limit to the highest bid
der. Any further information or inquiries will
be cheerfully answered by applying 1o
