THE, ISTHMIAN CANAL
Perhaps the most important
measure now , before . the , T - i
States senate, is the isthmian canal
question.
The bill for the construction of a 1
water way across the isthmus, to
connect the waters of the Atlantic
with the Pacific ocean, by the Nic¬
aragua route, has already passed
the house, aud is now before the
senate.
Since its passage by the house,
however, the company now con
troling the old Panama canal pro¬
ject and railway, has offered to sell
their entire property and franchise
to the United States for $40,000,
0.0, and that offer has been favor¬
ably considered by the canal coin
mi -ion, and it lias been leported
to the president in favor of the
Panama route, and he has sent
tilth report to the senate for its
This ..ffer of the Panama com
*
par; to sell to tin? United States
for n ,000,000 has greatly eonipli
cat d the canal movement, and may
dej t the project entirely at this
se.‘ of congress.
I any rate, it is likely to delay
the senate’s action, as it will be
necessary to investigate the Pana¬
ma proposition thoroughly before
its purchase could be made. If it
was found to be all right, and that
the company could make a legal
transfer of the property to the Uni¬
ted States, then a new treaty would
have to be made with the state of
Colombia, through whose territory
the Panama canal runs, and new
concessions would have to be ask¬
ed for and granted by the Colom¬
bian government to the United
Sta'es before our government could
proceed with the work of finishing
the canal. While all these ques¬
tions might be satisfactorily ad¬
justed. there still remains the fact
that the province of Colombia is in
a state of revolution, with the reb
cls strongly posted even on the very
right of way ot the canal, and the
government unable to dislodge
them With no assurance of its
ability to maintain itself, any guar
antees or concessions it might make
to the United States would be of j

such guarantees or concessions.
Postibly no trouble of this kind
would be apt to occur, still the pos¬
sibility of it would certainly cause
delay in starting the work of con¬
structing the canal.
The Panama canal .route is some
600 or 800 miles further away from
our Atlantic seaports than the Nic
rragua route, and would make a
difference of lrotn one to two days
in the time of going from say New
Orleans to San Francisco. This is
a very material objection to the
Panama route, and one which
ought to have great weight with

Hon. Boykin Wright.
The appointment of Hon. Boykin
Wright, . , . of c Augusta, . attorney
as
general of Georgia to fill out the
term of Hon. Joseph M. Terrell,
resigned, is one that will give thor¬
ough satisfaction in every section
of the state. While Governor Can
dler would not have made a poor
selection for the office, he could
scarcely have made a better choice.
Mr. Wright is an able lawyer, a
student in the profession, and an
adept in its practice. His famil¬
iarity with the constitution and the
statutes, his erudition in political
history and his thorough under¬
standing of the policies of admin¬
istration in Georgia render him em¬
inently fitted to guide and guard
the legal interests of the people
until a new attorney general shall
be elected and qualified.
The personal popularity of Mr.
Wright is state-wide and his ser¬
vices to the people and the demo¬
cratic party in their efforts to give
peace, prosperity and honor to the
commonwealth have earnetl him
the preferment of which he is the
recipient. That he will perform
distinction goes without argument!

The Railroad to Oxford.
The spur track of the Georgia
railroad to Oxlord was completed
on Tuesday morning, and the
hands all paid off.
The track leaves the main line
nearly a mile west of Covington de¬
pot, and terminates a little to the
rear of the gymnasium, on the col¬
lege campus.
The line is a little over one mile
in length, and is jwell built. The
work of construction has been done
rapidly, under the direction of Mr.
J. E. Robinson, and was completed
just ten days before it was expect¬
ed to be finished.
Work on the new science hall
will be commenced about the first
of February, and is to cost about
$20,000. Mr. J. P. Williams, of
Savannah, president of the board
of trustees, gave $15,000 toward
this building, on condition that an
equal amount was raised by sub¬
scription by the college authorities,
and we understand that Dr. Dow
nian has nearly that amount secur¬
ed. The new spur track of
Georgia railroad, which has
been completed, will haul the
terial for the new building, and
liver it almost directly on the site.
The track was only built to Ox¬
ford for the purpose of delivering
freight at the college door, and the
rumor that the accommodation train
will be run to Oxford morning and
evening, is hardly “in sight,’’ for
the present.

Mr. W. G. Biggers has sold his stock of
goods, and I understand he is going to farm.
I am glad he is still going to make his home
in our midst, for he is an honest, worthy, and
useful citizen' as well as successful business
man and farmer.
I am pained to learn of the serious illness of
our good neighbor and friend, Mr. J. C. Boyd.
He has been in feeble health for several years,
but has not been so seriously ill until recently
I sincerely hope he will soon be able to be on
the streets again.
Miss Eula Hays left Monday for her father’s

She has never been a stranger here, and is

her much happiness, and hope she will return
here often.
Wednesday afternoon, January 22, Mr. Fe-

young merchant of this place, being a member
of the Mansfield Mercantile Company. He has
many f: ends who wish for him much success
and happiness.
The many friends of Mr. S. S. Starr will
be glad to learn of his financial success in his
new home near Vernon, Texas. Since he
moved there two months a^o, a railroad has
been run through his lands, and the depot will
be built near his home, thereby increasing the
value of his land a great deal.
We were all happily surprised last Saturday
when Mr J. T. Lezenby arrived at home from
Walker county, Alabama, where he has been
for some time. He was obliged to return on
account of ill health. We are glad to welcome
him back, although it pains us to learn of his
feeble health. John will go into the mercan¬
tile business with his brother.

The union met again Thursday evening,
Januaiy 23d. The question of "how we
should treat our neighbors to bring about
unity,” was discussed in an interesting way by
several of the members.
The many friends of Mr. J. F. Lazenby and
his sons, E. F. and J. T. Lazenby, are cor
dially inv.ted to call 1W1 them in their new
store. They have bought the attractive stock
of goods of Mr. W, G. Biggers, and occupy
the zAdams brick building, on the corner of
Railroad and Broad streets. I understand that
these enterprising gentlemen will soon add a
good line of hardware to their stock. I am
sure that the public will appreciate their kind
attention and accommodation.
Thursday, January 23d, about 12 o’clock,
the engine of Mr. Nester Smith’s ginnery, a
few miles Mow here, exploded and killed
Boykin Smith, a negro, who was firing the
engine. The negro was blown to pieces, his
body, with both legs and arms off, was found
eighty feet from where he was blown from. It
is said’ the engine was burst into a thousand
pieces. The engine room was completely de¬
molished. The cause of the explosion is
thought to have been from too much steam.
It was an old engine, and the loss to Mr.
Smith is not very heavy. Mr. J. M. Davis
had just left the tngine when the explosion
took place. He is fortunate in not being kilt*
ed or injured.
