The special article concerning “The
Women of the Land,” which appears in
today’s Exquihek-Sun, will be perused
with considerable interest. It is spicily
written, original in thought, and de
cidedly readable, although it rasps the
unhappy maseniine fraternity for the
egotism and selfishness of the sex.
As an evidence of the expensiveneas
of conducting newspapers, we may men
tion that the New York Herald, ou
Thursday, contained a cablegram from
Zanzibar to New York, giving Stanley’s
own story, which cost two dollars a word,
the total amount paid for this one dis
patch being §3500.
The Enquirer-Sun refers with pride
this morning to its two bright and enter
taining special New York letters, which
appear elsewhere. In fact, the special
features of the Enquirer-Sun today can
not be excelled. They are prepared by
able and talented writers, and are as
fresh and sparkling as the early summer
dews.
PHENIX CITY AND GIRARD
Should Clergymen Smoke? This is
the title of an interesting article in to
day’s issue, furnished specially to the
Enquirer-Sun. It gives the opinion of
twenty or thirty well known ministers
of the various denominations, and the
diversity of opinion among them is re
markable. This symposium will be an
interesting feature to the Enquirer-Sun’s
readers today.
It would have been a graceful and
magnanimous act, as also one of simple
justice, had the present Congress, which
convened last M mday, promptly pas ed
a measure removing the disabilities of
the late Hon. Jefferson Davis. It was
well known that Mr. Davis was critically
ill, and that even ehould he have reeov-
ered from this attack, that his remaining
years on earth were limited. The sug
gestion was made that such action should
be taken, but it received little attention.
This is to be regretted. It is now too
late to make amends. The honored
Chieftain of the South has passed to an
other and better world, leaving behind
him a name and career which should be
revered by every true American and lover
of Constitutional liberty. We have an
abiding faith that in the future the full
measure of justice will be meted out to
his memory, and his great, exalted char
acter will be fully appreciated throughout
the entire country as it is in the Sjuth
It is interesting in this connection to
read the following extract from an able
editorial in the Baltimore Sun entitled
“Mr. Davis and His Disabilities,” which
aDpeared on Wednesday, two days be
fore his death, and when there was a
slight hope that the life of the grand old
soldier and statesman would be prolong
ed for a few mouths. The Sun says:
* * The average Northern Congress
man is is stiil too much afraid of the sec
tional fanatic to permit him to do what
both his heart and his judgment may
approve. And yet, if regarded from the
standpoint of either logic or justice, there
is no reason why Mr. Davis should be any
longer branded as a rebel or an outlaw, or
why he should die a man without a coun
try. From the relentless political malice
that has followed him like a bloodhound
for over a quarter of a century, it might
be imagined that he alone had commit
ted the unpardonable sin in the secession
of the Southern States. But he was do
more guilty than the humblest Drivate
who enlisted under the Confederate gov
ernment. He was actuated by precisely
the same motives and the same principles,
and was not one whit more earnest or
determined than the people who called
upon him to act as their President. Yet
he alone of all the men engaged in the war
on the Southern side Was marked out for
long-continued proscription and persecu
tion, and made the target for sectional
spite and malice. Is it not time that this
should stop, and that a great nation should
cease to wage war on a feable old man
who stands on the very brink of the grave?
He is too true an American to bow a sup-
plaint knee and beg for rights that have
been freely accorded to thousands of
others no less concerned in the civil war
than himself, and if he should do so the
North would despise him as lieartily as
the South. Mr. Davis will soon be a citi
zen of another country, where he will
neither be an outlaw nor a rebel, and
neither earthly smiles nor frowns can
affect him much longer. But the United
States cannot afford to let him pass be
yond its jurisdiction without extending
the hand of friendship and fraternal love
to one whose character and career have
been studded with the Roman-like virtue—
an integrity like adamant, a devotion to
principle as pure as snow and as eternal
as the hills—which gave to this republic all
its glory, and which alone can preserve
and protect it amid the danger of the
nresent and the future.
A REVIEW OF THE WEEK FROM THE

License—The;Maaquerade B»ll—Death’s
Record- Social A ff-tirs—Personals
—Marriages-Court, Etc.
With the majority of people, especially
at this season of the year, there is but lit
tle retrospection, everything being based
upon the future—sno particularly upon
the fast approaching holidays. Soon the
stores will be gay with those things that
tempt the purse, the appetite and the eye.
The New Depot.
It will soon assume proportions. Mr.
Caldwell, who has just completed an ele
gant depot at Sylacauga, has arrived,
bringing with him a force of fifteen expert
workmen. They have been delayed for
several days on account of the non-arrival
of their tools. They are expected to ar
rive by Monday, and the force will com
mence work in earnest and push the build
ing to a rapid completion. Mr: Caldwell
states that he has instruction to erect a
model depot building, with first class pas
senger accommodations. In his hands, no
fears need be entertained,as he wilt give us
an excellent building.

THE DAVIS FUND.
The movement to raise a fund ;for
the erection of a monument to the late
Hon. Jefferson Davis, and for the relief
of Mrs. Davis and family will be general
throughout the South. Every city, town
aad village will feel it a privilege to con
tribute to the cause, and what is done
must be done quickly. Columbus will
do her full share in the noble work, but
it is requisite that some plan of
action should be agreed upon, an associa
tion formed and arrangements made for
receiving contributions and depositing
them in bank until such time as it is nec
essary to turn the fund over to the
proper parties. In this work the Board
of Trade, representing the business com
munity, the Confederate Veterans’ Asso
ciation and the Ladies’ Memorial Asso
ciation can very well co-operate
But the first move requisite will be the
organization ofa “Davis’ Memorial Fund
Association,” and this can be accom
plished by calling a meeting of
the citizens. The Enquirer-Sun would
suggest that this can properly be done
by the Board of Trade or the Confeder
ate Veterans’ Association. But it should
be done promptly. Other cities in the
State are moving actively in the matter,
and Columbus should not be dilatory. If
the suggestion of the Enquirer-Sun meets
with approval, we would urge that the
meeting be called Monday night and the
movement inaugurated.
Death’s Record.
For _ the week, we are called upon to
chronicle the death of two of our citizens.
The sad news of the untimely death of
Mr. Benjamin Fields, at Birmingham, by
an accident, has already been announced.
He was in the employ of the Birmingham
and Mobile road at the time, and had only
been married one month. He was twenty-
three years old. His remains were brought
to this city and interred.
Mrs. Lizzie Edwards died after a few
days illness on Tuesday. Mrs. Edwards
was in her eighteenth year. She leaves a
bereft husband to mourn her loss. Her
remains were interred in the Girard ceme
tery.
The City Council.
On Friday night they held their regular
meeting. A full board was present. Many
subjects were brought up for discussion,
but little was accomplished.
An ordinance was passed imposing a tax
of §20 upon street peddlers, payable quar
terly in advance.
A leave of absence was granted to Mar
shal Wilkins for three days.
The liquor license was fixed for next
year the same as at present, §250. The
license on pool tables was raised from §25
to §50.
A fine of §5 will be imposed upon police
men for entering bar-rooms, unless "called
in to quell a row or make an arrest.
The Fast and the Coining Boll.
On last Friday night a grand masquerade
bail was given at Summergill Hall, under
the auspices of the “Pnenix City Social
Club.” It was a highly enjoyable affair,
and quite a success from a financial stand
point. The sum of §58 65 was received,
admission being 50. 25 and 15 cents. The
managers were Messrs John Kinnett, Chas.
Hancock and Jesse M. Payne. The music
was furnished by Louis Osborne’s band.
Long will the event be remembered.
On next Thursday night. the Pocahontas
Degree Council of the Red Men will place
upon the boards at Summergill Hall the
drama, entitled “Pocahontas S >.ving the
Life of Captain John Smith.” This play,
which is said to be very thrilling, will be
interspersed with the great “Scalp and
War Dancer.” On the completion of the
play, an excellent band will furnish the
music and the balance of the evening will
be devoted to dancing. An admission fee
wiil be charged to defray expenses. Ad
mission—gentlemen 25 cents, ladies 15
cents, children 10 cents. The managers
will be Messrs. J. D. Godwin and William
McSwain. The committee of arrangement
is composed of Messrs. D. L. Jones and
John Bishop.
The funeral of tne late ex-President
Davis will take place on Wednesday at
noon. Business generally will be sus
pended in Columbus between the hours
of 12 and 2 o’clock, the bells tolled and
memorial services will be held at the
Presbyterian church. There should be
universal observance of the sad event,
that the demonstration may be worthy
the patriotism of Columbus and her love
and veneration for the distinguished and
honored Chieftain of the South.
The Americus Recorder is pleased to
express the following complimentary
and deserved remarks about our Wash
ington correspondent: “The Columbus
Enquirer-Sun has secured the services
of Mr. Eugene Speer as its correspondent
in Washington during the session of Con
gress. This insures the Enquirer-Sun
a series of reliable and spicy letters, for
Mr. Speer is not only a pleasant writer,
but has, by his large acquaintance qrith
public men, an unusual opportunity for
securing information. The Enquirer-
Sun is moving up into the front rank
under the able administration of Col,
Richardson.”

Atlanta, Dec. 7. — [Special.] — The
movement in Atlanta to raise a fund for
Mrs. Davis and daughter is rapidly taking
active shape. A meeting was hbld in the
executive office this morning, Governor
Gordon and a number of prominent vet
erans taking counsel as to the best plan to
pursue.
It was finally determined that a com-
mittee be appointed trom the State Vet

each Senatorial district, who shall be au
thorized to receive all contributions to
the fund.
Governor G irdon telegraphed this ac

same plan.
Subscriptions are already being made in
a general way throughout the city in ad
vance of next Wednesday, the day sug
gested as the most appropriate for raising
the fund. If the plan is generally adopted
there is no doubt that when night comes
next Wednesday, a liberal fund will have
been raised.
The following is the committee appoint
ed by ohe Governor as commander of the
State veterans to receive subscriptions to j
the Davis fund from senatorial districts in
their order: A. R. Law«.on, S. D. Brad-

estate in Arkansas.
This was the plan proposed to Mr. Davis
before his death and accepted by him.

this plan carried out, and for
this §100,000will be raised. It is proposed to
raise this sum by Wednesday night by vol
untary contributions from the people of
