Twenty years ago Samuel Watkins
gave to Uie city of Nashville a tract of
land containing ten acres, and known as
Watkins’s park, on condition that it he
-used ns aplace of public resort. The city
has never complied with the require-
aiiei'.ts, and 115 heirs of Watkins have
:sued lor the recovery of the land, which
]- valued at $90,000.
li seeius that there is great danger of a
spread of yellow fever in Florida. A
"Tamos refugee died yesterday at Inter-
Incliin, a small town about eighteen miles
from Faintka. The United States govorn-
.ment lias been called on to help in sup
pressing the plague and everything will
he done that can be for the uccotnplish-
ineiit of that end.
Nashville lias a political record which
few cities—perhaps none of equal size-
can rival. She lias furnished the nation
two presidents, live cabinet officers, nine
senators, two speakers of the house of
reiiresontativos and one judge of the su
preme court. Boston claims to he the
hub of the universe, hut we believe that
in education and refinement she will
liave to take a place behind the compara
tively small capital city of Tennessee.
Speaking of tlie political situation in
Virginia, Mr.Snowden, editor of the Al
exandria Gazette (democrat), said in a
•conversation: ‘‘I don’t think there is
"really any doubt now of democratic suc-
<vss in the state. A few weeks ago I did
not believe we could win, hut there has
t»oen a marked change for the better in
the temper and feeling of the democrats.
The disaffection has, to a great extent,
lieen overcome, and we will elect a dem
ocratic legislature. But If Mahoue were
not in the fight, or even if he were to die
now, the republicans would carry the
estate. Hostility to Maltone and his
methods will give the democrats the
state, as ninny republicans will vote with
Ms rather Ilian make Mahoue senator
*gain.”
THE PRESIDENT IS GKOIU1A.
The president’s tour is nearly at an
end. A few more days and it will lie a
pleasant memory: He is now the guest
of the people of the empire state of the
south, and will doubtless meet with a re
ception which will indicate the apprecia
tion in which he is held in our state.
This trip has been a pleasant one from
the beginning. Only oue sad memory
will he carried hack to Wash ioglon—the
death of Judge Eliot in Memphis. The
people everywhere have shown an appre
ciation for the man and the position
which demonstrates tlio fact thut parti
san hatred is only on the surface. 1 >eep
down in the popular heart is u love for
the whole country and u respect for its
representative which ignores the politics
of the distinguished visitor and unites
republicans and democrats in according
him a hearty and enthusiastic welcome-
We are glad that throughout the whole
trip the president lias been treated as the
representative of the whole people and
not as the representative of a party, and
ve very much deprecate the expression
of any sentiments which would narrow
his representative capacity. We think that
the banners displayed in Nashville re
ferring to a second term of office were in
bad taste, and we hope tiiey will not he
repeated. The president is making a so
cial, not a political, visit, and we ought to
not Bimply relegate politics to the back
ground, but banish political allusions al
together. We wish President Cleveland
to be his own successor, and at the prop
er time and in the proper place wo will
say so, and we have no doubt the people
will say so; but we think the proper
time and place are yet to come. We
have no doubt that such allusions are un
pleasant to him and they should be
avoided.
President Cleveland, in Georgia, is
am6ng his friends. The empire state of
the Bouth—the banner democratic state
of the union—extends to him her heart
iest welcome. Georgia is the only south
ern state which has never cast a vote for
a republican candidate for president.
Seymour carried it for the democrats in
18(18, and each successive democratic
candidate has received its electoral vote
since then. While other states have re
cently given larger majorities for the
democratic candidate, it was only because
the republicans had no hope here and
gave up the fight; and the democrats,
when they found there was to be no
battle, stayed at home. They were not
dress parade soldiers. Our state has a
record which she is proud of, and which
she proposes to keep up in the future.
We are glad to have Atlunta represent
the state in receiving the president’s
visit, nnd giving him a welcome. At.an-
ta never half does anything. Sho does
her very host always, and succeeds al
ways. While Atlanta is the smallest
place, except Madison, in which the
president has stopped, except merely to
change cars, we feel sure that no city lie
has visited lias extended him a heartier
welcome than hers will be. The south
ern people are glad to sec the president
of the whole country—a president elect
ed by their votes; and the vast throng
that meets him to-day will he as one in
their respect for the position which
would honor any man, lint which is
honored by the man who fills it now,
THE UOVEUNNKM' AND ITIE Kill ROADS.
Mr. Ihqiew, of New York, is in favor of
a government supervision of railroads.
The railroad problem, he thinks, is one-
bt tween tariff and transportation—be
tween the business to lie carried and the
instrumentalities that carry it. Both are
inclined to he selfish and unreasonab’e;
one to ask too much pay for its work,
the other to exact too much work for the
pav; and there om/nt > - i>.- a disinterest
ed agency 1” tin ut government su
pervision se.iuiaig between the two to
enforce equity and harmony. Mr. De
pew thinks tlio government should go
further than a supervision of relations
between traffic and transportation; it
ought to decide wlmt proposed railroads
shall be built, and what ones shull not.
A rond that will not pay when built, or
shortly afterwards, ought to lie prohibit
ed; so, also, ought a road that is an agent
of blackmail—built to divide the traffic
of an existing line, and force the exist
ing line to purchase it.
It seeius to us that Mr. Depew lias
plunged into a subject which requires a
master mind to solve it. It is a question
of government interference with the
rights of its citizens. AVe believe the
government has already gone far enough
in establishing a commission to regulate
railroad traffic. If the government is to
take charge of all the important business
enterprises of the country, what is to Vie
left to employ the capital and brain of its
citizens? The Enqi-irer-Scn believes in
the infallibility of the law of supply and
demand. Whenever one is in excess the
other must suffer. If the demand ex
ceeds tlie supply those who create the
demand must pay for it. If the supply
exceeds the demand, those who create
the supply must suffer. Again,we believe
in competition. There can he no compe
tition where the government steps in and
says there shall he none. Further, we
believe that citizens should have the
right to build a railroad whenever they
have the capital to pay for it. In fact, we
think Mr. Depew’s doctrine ■ is a very
dangerous one.
If the clorcy, as n class, would be as

It is safe to say thstthe publio will never
agree to any national ssystem that does
not include a government guarantee of
everything circulating as money.—New

The democrats of Massachusetts made
no concessions to the “reigning families”
in selecting their ticket. Henry B. Lever

There is no question of Cleveland’s re
nomination and re-olection. Whether
Ohio casts her vote for Cleveland in 1888 is
a question for the people to decide in due
nine. Forthe present tho votersofthis
i.latnare to say whether they will give a
vote of confidence to thu national adininis

aker, its most bitter opponent.—Cleveland

But telegraphing is a public function,
like the operation of railroads, and the
companies engaged in it have been ad
judged to be common carriers. The great
built of tho business iu a part of the inter
state commerce of the country. It is a
question worth studying whether it can
not advantageous!, be put under the regu
lotion of national laws through the power
of congress to regulate commerce between
tho states.—New York Times, rep.

Buffalo Bill offers to tho hoard of trade

Phcebe Couzins, who is now United
States marshal at St. Louis, said to Prosi
dent Hayes just after bis inauguration, that
it was a pitv that same woman lawyer like
herself was'not the chief justice who ad
ministered the oath to the president. “In
that case,” gallantly replied Mr. Hayes, “1
should have kissed, not the book, but the
chief justice.”
An American sailing vessel that left Yo
kohama, in May last, shipped twelve Jap
anese spilors as a part ol her crew. Near
Hawaii, the master, in a fit. o( rage, shot
one of these men—Hidaka Kikuniatan—
and afterwards beat the poor fellow with
a stick until be died. The body was then
flung into the sea. and now the tragedy
has Been disclosed by the return to Yoko
hama, of four of the Japanese sailors, who
witnessed the murder.
The Indies of Terre Haute, feeling indig
nant over the condition of the village cem
etery, assembled the other day. and arm-
lug themselves with axes, sickles, and
similar weapons, repaired thither, and
commenced cutting out the thistles and
weeds that had been left to ripen there.
The sexton felt so scandalized, that he
agreed to finish the job if they would leave.
Roscoe Conkling has taken up bis resi
dence at the Hoffman House, and now di
vides the attention of strangers with the
“Nymphs and the Satyr” and Billy Ed
wards, ex-ehampion pugilist and “bouncer”
of the palatial bar-room. Mr. Conkling no
longer appears in the faultless garb for
which be has so long been famous. He
now wears a short and heavy double-
breasted pea-jacket of tho kind affected by
sailing masters, and a black slouch hat
with a brim that a cowboy might envy.
A black snake six feet long, with girth
in proportion, was killed in Moruingside
park, New York city, the other day, by
superintendent Parsons and Chief Engi
neer Kellogg. He is supposed to have
been the last survivor of a numerous fam
ily that thirty years ago lived in the rooks
ot that region; and probably he has lived
lately on the squatters’ goats, and some
times has been scared away from a meal,
leaving the crushed carcasses where they
have been found and marveled at. The
skin is to be stuffed and kept in the arsenal
on Central park.

Oct 24, Q5 and q6, 1887,
THREE DAYS FOLLOWING the PIEDMONT EXPOSITION.
TALI.APOOSA, GA , the city of the “Holden Kiver,” is situated in Haralson county, on the
Georgia Pacific Railroad, midway between the enterprising manufacturing ci-ies of Atlanta and An
niston. Its elevation Is twelve hundred feet above sea level, and its climate is the most perfect o
any section of the Un ed States. It is the winter climate of RomO and the summer climate of Je
rusalem. The purest of water abounds in Inexhaustible quantity, many mineral springs have been
discovered, with valuable medicinal pioperties, and remarkable cures are chronicled dally. Rich
mi .es of Iron, Manganese, Gold, Silver and other minerals surround the city, and the finest Marble
quarry in -he Sou h. The iron ore is of the Bessemer class used extensively for steel making by the
dire t process, and is pronounced by all experts as the largest vein of this class of valuable ore in
the Southern States.
THE Cl rY PLAT, comprising 2,000 acres, has been largely surveyed and beautifully laid
out in boulevard, avenues, streets, parks, lakes, etc., the landscape work to be finished by Professor
Joseph Forsythe Johnson, the talented landscape engineer of New York, the engineer of the grounds
of the Piedmont exposition in Atlan a, and many public parks.
THE GEO HOI A PACIFIC RAILROAD already crosses the city giving a frontage for
(hctoiy sites rf nearly three miles, and the survey of the Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus, now
bui ding under contract, to be completed in eleven months; and the Carrollton and Decatur exten
sion of the Central Railroad ot Georgia system run directly through theclty. These roads completed
the coming year give Tallapoosa direct communication with the great rivers, the gulf and the At
lantic for water transportation and superior railroad connections with all the leading mannfhcturing
cities of the South, the lakes and great central points of the West, North and East.
TALL A POOS A HAN every advantage for* large manufacturing and residence city. Its
elevation, 1,200 feet above sea level, insures a healthy climate and a perfect system of drainage is se.
cured by a natural tail of from 50 to 100 feet to the mile in all directions.
It Is in the heart of the richest mineral region of the South, and will naturally be the central
manufacturing and shipping point for mineral, agrlcultuial and timber products within a radios of
twenty-five miles.
Located sixty-three miles from Atlanta, 100 miles from Birmingham, and forty miles from An
niston, with no large manufac.uring city intervening, it must, as a natural consequence, rapidly
grow in ifoperta ice.
LENN THAN FOUR TEARN ago its population was fifty-nine. To-day, withnostimu
1-is but its agricultural and timber interests (minerals not until reeently thought of,) it has lncreas*
ed to 1000 population, and supports three hotels, three churches, a male and female seminary, and
thirty-five business houses. New residences and business blocks are rapidly being ereoted, and con
tracts given for msny more, wbl e new arrivals add to its population daily,
NEUOTIATIONN A RE already in progress and some of them completed for the location
in Tallapoosa of a (100,000 Blast Furnace, a commodious summer hotel; a large planing, lath and
shingle mi l, a tannery; a furniture factory; a cotton mill, and many minor industries, in addition to
eight sawmills, two brick manufactories, one wood-turning shop, one shingle and lath mill, and
several grist mills and cotton gins already in operation.
A RICH SYNDICATE has reeently purchased the famous “ Holland Mines,” comprising
9800 acres, two miles from town, and have many men at work erecting a plant that will employ from
100 to ISO men in gold mining.
The Mobile Syndicate, the Cincinnati Syndicate, the Birmingham Syndicate, the Chioago Syn
dicate snd the East Alabama Gold Mining and Dredging Company have also made extensive pnr.
causes in mineral lands adjacent to the city.

covered in the public gin of t homas H. Lowe, ia
the western part of Dublin. Heroic efforts were
made bv tho citizens, who reap an ed after the fire
alarm was given, but to no purpose. The build-
ing. gin and about nine bales of cotton were
totally consumed by the devouring element The

work of an incendiary.

What the Press of Georgia say About Tallapoosa !
From Atlanta Evening Capitol :
Tallapoosa is destined to be the “Denver” or
“Deadwood” of the eastern part of the union.
Many a mushroom town of the wes eru plains
has sprung up, and developed into a metropolis,
wi bout even a small fraction of the mauy
natural advantages of this superb town, situated
as it is, right here ou the Atlantic slope, within
the immediate neighborhood, and under the in
fluences of some of the most progressive cities of
the United States.
From Atlanta CoiiNttintton : Talla
poosa is a magic city, where it stands to-day with
over 1000 inhabitants with substantial and ele
gant tructures, with a big, growing trade, with
orilliant prospects for the future. Where this
young town stnuds, four years ago tne primeval
forest had not been disturbed, uor one of the
giant pines or oaks had been felled to build a
house for man. Standing in the busy Tallapoosa
of to-day it is almost impossible to realize this.
All around Tallapoosa have been discovered
such mineral deposits and such rare facilities for
their development as to make it a certainty that
Tallapoosa must become a great manufacturing
center iu the near future
From Atlanta Evening Journal:
Since the discovery of iron ore at Tallapoosa,
peoole have brought samples into the agricultu
ral departmeni at the capitol her*' in such quan
tity aud variety that Prof. McCutohen is amazed
at the mineral wealth of that region. With the
i great variety and abundance of minerals around
1 ll * its commanding geographical positiou, its tine
climate and charming scenes, rallapooRi's future
I will not disapp jint those who go there for invest
ment or residence.
From AnKUHtn Chronicle: They have
a climate unsurpassed. Springs of pure water
gush out from eveiy hillside, more than 1 00 feet
al ^ 0 - v £ f* le sea * eve l; good railroad facilities,
which, in the near fhture, will greatly increase;
fertile valleys and hills on every side, and be-
ntath their feet exhaustless stores of mineral
wealth. We see in these thiugs the foundation
; ofu great city, aud we believe at no distant day
Ta llapoosa will be one of the most Important
points ou the map of Georgia.
From Macon Telegraph: The basis
upou which the future of Tallapoosa rests is its
vast mineral we<u by which it is surrounded.
it is directly in the great mineral range extend
ing in this state, al >ng the counties of Faniu,
Gilmer, Pickens, Lumpkin, Haralson, Carroll,
and ending in the rich gold fields of Arbacoo-
; chee in Alabama.
: The iron ores, on further development and an
alysis, still prove to be Bessemer, then this com*
pany is one of the richest mining companies in
the world, tftliey do not they are still poasens-
ors ol a mining property, rightly developed,
worth millions.
