everywhere, and her appearance the
eignal for the heartiest welcome. The
pleasant little story that comes from the
quiet seaside resort on the New England
coast will be read with more than inter
est, and the feeling is general that it
coaid and would be duplicated at any
point in the country, north, south, eaet
or west. This must be highly gratifying
to Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland, but it is also
to the infinite credit of the American
people. It shows that we can rise above
the petty jealousies and animosities of
politics and honestly and manfully ap
preciate the service and worth of those
who have acquitted themselves in high
place with ability and honor.”
COLUMBUS, GA., AUGUST 9, 1889.
Alabama is struggling with her convict
lease system.
The Georgia legislature is slowly but
so rely getting in its work. There is no
telling how long the session will last.
The proceedings of the Alabama State
Alliance at Auburn were very interest

mean business. There is no foolishness
about their work.
Four thousand dollars is the sum now
needed to secure the Chattanooga, Rome
and Columbus railroad. The citizens of
Columbus will make a mistake if they
fail to subscribe that sum to-day.
John L. Sullivan will be tried for prize
fighting by the Mississippi courts Mon
day. A fine would not be sufficient pun
ishment for John, as some of his ad
mirers would plank down the cash.
John should be sent to the penitentiary
for one year.
Four Thousand Dollars Needed.
The railroad committee still lacks
$4000 of having enough subscriptions to
insure the building of the Chattanooga,
Rome and Columbus extension.
The Enquirer-Sun has pointed out the
advantages that Columbus would derive
from the new railroad. We believe that
oar people fully understand the situation.
The money must come. That’s all there
is about it. Tt must come from the peo
ple of Columbus, and it must come with
out any further delay. Columbus cannot
afford to lose the road. She certainly
cannot afford to lose it for the lack of the
small sum of $4000. The committee will
be at work again to-day, and to-morrow
morning the Enquirer-Sun hopes to be
able to announce that every dollar of it
has been raised. Now for another strong
pull. Let everybody help who can. Do
no; stand back and wait for vour neigh
bor to take the initiative. Help the
committee to-day. If none of its mem
bers see you, make it your business to
hunt some of its members up aud tender
your subscription, however small it
may be.

A Growing Southern Industry.
Statistics show that the number of cot
ton mills in the south has doubled siuce
1830, and that the number of spindles
j and looms has more than trebled. This
shows the present tendency is to build
mills of greater capacity than formerly.
Tue number of cotton mills now in op
eration in the south is fixed at d-35, run
ning d.035,hoS spindles and 45,000 loom-.
This does not include additions being
made to old mills aud th- 3 new ones un
der construction and projected.
The Manufacturers’ Record calls atten
tion to the tendency on the part of south
ern mills toward the production of finer
grades of goods than have been hereto
fore manufactured in the south. On this
point the Enquirer-Sun calls attention to
the fact that one of Columbus’ new mills
was ereete i in accordance with this idea,
and. so far as we have learned, it is meet
ing with fine success in the manufacture
of the finer grades of ginghams, seer-

The St. Louis Republic has it that it is
practically stated that John Willock
Noble, the Missouri member of the cabi
net, will succeed the late Stanley Mat
thews on the supreme bench of the
United States. This trouble, the Repub
lic thinks, means that First Assistant
Postmaster General Clarkson will be pro-
moted to the head of the interior de
partment.
The presideut of the Savannah, Ameri-
cus and Montgomery railroad denies
the report that his road has been bought
by the Central. He says that his road
will maintain its independence, and that
it will not be sold to the Central. We
have an idea that the Louisville and
Nashville road is back of the Savannah,
Americus and Montgomery. If this be
the case, there is little likelihood of its
failing into the hands of the Central.
The South save: The farmer who raises
one product and the state which depends
on one specialty are in precisely the same
case, since the collective body can only
reflect the condition of the individuals
composing it. The farmer who buys his
meat and bread, hay, fertilizers and other
farm supplies, and attempts to pay for
them with his cotton crop, will continue
poor; and a state made up of euch farms
C annot fare otherwise. Diversified crope
on the farm and diversified industries in
the state are the secret of thrift and in
dependence.
The primary election for the nomina
tion of a democratic candidate for ordi
nary of Muscogee county passed off
quietly yesterday, and the utmost har
mony prevailed among the two candi
dates and their friends. Both of the
candidates were good men, and both
have the confidence and esteem of the
people. Judge Pou, the nominee, is a
lawyer of fine ability, and we do not feel
any hesitancy in saying that he will
m ake a good and faithful public servant.
Mr. Andrews would have done the same
thing had he been nominated.
This new departure is an important
and significant one. It means that the
south is to be the great center of the
cotton manufacturing industry, aud that
in future the south wiii lead in the pro
duction of all grades of cotton gieds.
The idea is also advanced that the
sou fit must seek foreign markets by
mean - <5f direct steamship lines to South
Americt, which, we think, wiii be done
in due time.
The Louisville Courier-Journal says:
All that is possible, and all that is aimed
at by the democratic party, is a tariff
framed exclusively for revenue and lim
ited to the needs of the government.
This is the democratic position as dis
tinguished from the republican position,
which demands protection for protec
tion’s sake, asserts protection as a funda
mental economic principle, and planting
itself upon a tariff created for war pur
poses, and refusing to carry out its own
promise that this tariff should no. outlast
those purposes, insists that those who
question it and nrge its redaction to a
peace footing are free traders, pure and
simple, with horns and hoofs, seeking to
jump on and stamp the life out of the
industries of America.
This sentiment iB expressed by the
Philadelphia Evening Telegram: “The
personal popularity of the Clevelands is
something phenomenil. The president
dropped out of the white house into his
law office with the easy rapidity and
comfort of a philosopher, but he retained
a wonderful hold upon the personal re
gard of the American people, and it is
evident that he still has a good, steady
grip upon the average citizen, regardless
of race, creed or politics. And the na
tion’s bride is still the one looked for
National Irrigation.
A letter from our staff correspondent in
the northwest describes the transforma
tion which might be wrought upon the
vast areas of unfruitful soil in Montana by
irrigation on a great scale. This is not,
we believe, the region to which the plans
of Major Powell particularly reiate, but
the requirements and the possibilities are
the same in both cases. It no longer
needs to be proved that the practical effi
cie-ncy of irrigation is not confined within
narrow limits. It has been satisfactorily
demonstrated that barren lands of huge
extent cannot be completely regenerated
by artificial supplies of moisture. Nor is
it to be supposed that there are mechan
ical difficulties of original construction
which engineering skill is not competent
to overcome. We entertain no doubt
whatever that millions of persons could
be comfortably supported beyond the
Mississippi from soil that is now agricultu
rally valueless through the storage and
distribution of water that now goes to
waste. Operations of such magnitude,
however, are not likely to be attempted
by private resources, and the redemption
of the wilderness, if it Is to be accom
plished in any other way than by the
gradual progress of successive genera
tions, most be undertaken by the govern
ment. The United States retains the
ownership of that part of Montana which
has not been taken up by settlers, and
the argument of those who urge the
creation of a vast system of irrigation by
the general government is that the in
creased value of the land thereby re
claimed would exceed the snm expended
in making it fruitful.
As the public domaia contracts and pop
ulation increases this subject acquires
immense importance. The feat of making
a desert habitable possesses an interest
kindred to and scarcely less keen than that
which would attach to the discovery of a
new continent, and there seems to be no
intrinsic reason why such splendid
dreams may not be realized. There is a
strong popular aversion—though we doubt
if it could be proved that this hostility
represents the real feeling of a majority of
the people—to national investments of
this general character, in spite of the
incalculable return which the transconti
nental railroads have brought the coun
try. The Tribune is conservative in such
matters, but not so conservative as to
wish to see the discussion of them stifled.
On t he contrary, we hope to see the sub
ject of irrigation explored and expounded
to the uttermost. But as we recently said
in allusion to Maj. Powell’s project, in
connection with the lesson which the
Johnstown disaster enforced, the obsta
cles to making vast artificial bodies of
water entirely safe are almost insur
mountable, and if the policy of expend
ing millions of dollars from the national
treasury in the reclamation of western
deserts should come to be regarded as
sound and commenable from every other
point of view, the problem would still re
main to be solved.—New York Tribune.

The hanging of Jesse Gotier has been

At one time, a week or so ago, it was

has so rapidly improved that it is thought
he will be well enough to stand his trial
week after next.
At Macon Stenographer Emmett Barnes
has finished the brief of evidence in the
Woolfolk case. Without the motions and
documentary evidence the brief is the size
of the Georgia code, and is without doubt
the largest record of auy case ever made
in the state. The motion for a new trial
will be heard by Judge Gustin on Satur
day. 3y that time the motion will have a
number of amendments added to it.
The firm of N. & A. F. Tift & Co. has

For years they have carried on a general
merchandise and supply business, as well
as run in connection therewith a ware
house business. In selling out their busi

Robert Brown, a hale colored man of
thirty-eight, if Brown would take care of
him the rest of his life. That was twenty-
two years ago. Brown is cow sixty years
old himself and shows signs of getting
old. but old Roach is still as spry as a
cricket and does not weaken in the least.
Mentally aDd physically he is in as good
condition as ordinary men at seventy. His
hair hangs in long black ringlets to his
shoulders. Roach can neither read nor
write, therefore has no need forspectaclee.
Since he was fifteen be has been a tobacco
chewer. How much older he might have

The most interesting aged_ person now
living, however,is probably Nagy Ferencz,
a soldier of the wars of Napoleon, 1-1
years old. He is a Hungarian peasant,
resident at Bares, and his birth is duly
reported and certified.
Like old Roach, Nagy Ferencz cannot
read or write, but his memory, is, there
fore, all the keener, bis tongue all the
glibber. He can tell personal anecdotes
of many distinguished people who lived
one hundred years ago. The event of
which he speaks with the deepest rever
ence was the burial of bis beloved sover
eign. the great empress queen, Maria
Theresa. He was present in person at her
fnneral. which occurred in 17S0. He has
all his wits about him, and is constantly
on his feet visiting a round of friends.
Nasty is certainly the oldest old bachelor

How much experience he has missed, to

The Oldest Persons Living.
At the present time when the question
of (what tnay be called) artificial longev
ity is exercising the minds of men and is
giving rise to hopes that seem to be
founded on the experiments of renowned
physiologists, the following brief notices
of several people who have succeeded in
passing, by a considerable term, the cen-
tarian age in this country, may be of in
terest to readers of the States. The no
tices are borrowed from the Morris
(Minn.) Tribune, and are as follows:
Is humanity really lengthening? Near
Washington C. H., in Ohio, lives Marga
ret Arnold, a woman 112 years old. She
was born near Richmond, Va., the year
after the Declaration of Independence
was signed. She smoked a pipe for sev
enty years and then gave it up, because
she could not smoke any more, for some
reason. She is a little old woman, five
feet two inches in height and weighs 110
poands. Mrs. Arnold eats whatever she
likes and never was ill in her life. She
has been a widow fifty years, which
is a good Whil j, certainly, and Mrs. Ar
nold would m jrit the sincere approbation
of St. Paul. Her last work was done three
years ago, when she knit a pair of stock
ings.. The way to keep young is to keep
working.
The old lady has three sisters and a
brother, all over 100. One sister ia 115.
Their ages are as follows:
Elizabeth Hilliard 115
Margaret Arnold 112
Susan Bailey 109
Willia** Kiser 104
Total number of years 440
Average years 110
But the oldest person now living is
probably a mulatto man in Lynn, Mass. Of
course there are no documents to back up
Disclaim, but as nearly as can be judged
by circumstances he is as old as he repre
sents himself to be—125 years. His name is
Wiiliam Roach, and he was born in Nova
Scotia. He remembers the Boston tea
party, he says. He beard the people of
Annapolis, N. S., talking of it. Roach
spent many years of his life on the sea.
He bought a little cottage in Lynn with
his earnings. This he promised to deed to
