ing the price at an early day.

The Crrx Money.—Here and elsewhere, since
the business-like and straightforward letter of
Mayor Huff, in regard to tho city finances, ap
peared, there has been an effort on the part of
a few to depreciate the city money, and make
a big fuss over the city’s liabilities. It is all
bosh. The money is as good as any, and better
secured than greenbacks. Just wait awhile, ye
weak-kneed and frightened, until a fair assess
ment of tho taxable property of Macon is made,
and you will then see what the money is worth.
Think of it. What is $200,000 to a city like
Macon? Why, sirs, before one dollar of her
currency should go by tho board or be repudi
ated, tho_whole amount could be raised in thirty
days. The city is in debt, it is true, just like all
other cities, but wo deny emphatically that it is
hopelessly so, or that tho wholo debt conld not
bo paid easily within three years. But why, we
ask, should our property holders bo subjected
to a heavy and special tax in order to remove
immediately the city’s indebtedness? Who is
suffering for the money ? and what is tho neces
sity of all this hullabaloo about the city’s finan
cial affairs. Let us go along patiently—pay the
interest on the debt as it falls due; give the city
government a cordial and liberal support, and
not seek to embarrass it by croaking and crowd
ing ; and let each real estate owner in the city
pay taxes according to a fair estimate of its value,
and our word for it, there will soon be no csueo
or grumbling about tho city money from any
quarter. _
Railroad Accident.—The night freight and
accommodation train from Colombns for this
city, was thrown from tho track and down an
embankment at Bear Greek, twenty miles this
side of Colnmbns, on Tuesday night last. Six
teen freight cars were thrown off and some of
them got badly smashed. No person wan seri
ously injured. The accident was caused by the
breaking of an axle of the tender.

Brown House Telegraph Office.—A tele
graphic wire was being ran between the Brown
House and the magnetio telegraph office yester
day, for the convenience of tho numerous guests
of that large and popular hotel, who frequently
canndt lose the time to walk up town to send
off a dispatch, before the departure of a train
on which they desire to leave.

TON SCREW PRESS is the only
Cotton Press that has stood the
test, being used ever since the
close of the war. and is in greater
and more increasing demand than
any other.

It can also be ran from the band wheel shaft

Oar HAND PRESS (mdeea, as all of them are,) is
too well known, and has established itself as the
PLANTER’S FAVORITE. As there is no comparison
between a cast and a WROUGHT IRON SCREW, we
do not recommend CAST IRON SCREWS, though we
make them for those wanting a CHEAP PresB.

He Great Eeliasa Screw Colin Press I
Patented February 27tb, 1871, by FINDLAY & CRAIG. An ANTI-FBICTION SCREW—A MECHAN
ICAL WONDER. This wonderful mechanical achievement- in point of RAPIDITY and LIGHTNES8
of DRAUGHT, STANDS WITHOUT A RIVAL, and is destined at an early day to supersede ALL OTH
ER Cotton Screws, be they fabricated of Wrought or Cast Iron. We append certificates of several well-
known planters, using the “ECLIPSE PRESS”: •
Coiapaucuee, Ga-. December 21,1870.
B. FINDLAY’S SONS, Findlay’s Iron Works, Macon, Ga.:
Dear Shss : Late this fall I purchased from you one of your Findlay & Craig Eclipse Patent Screw
Cotthn Presses, and, after a full and fair trial, do not hesitate to pronounce it the most rapid, of light
est draught, most powerful—in fact, the best (without an exception) Cotton PreES I ever saw. Between
this and all other Iron Screw Presses I have ever seen or used, there is just simply no comparison.
Evoiy planter should use your PreES. JOHN L. GILBERT.
P. S.—You may consider my order in for two more of tho above Presses for Eext season, and may
look for many orders fiom this section; my neighbors are determined to have them, as they can pack
by hand twice as fast as any of the other Iron Screw Presses can by horse power. J. L. G.
Bmn County, Ga., November 25.1870.
R. FINDLAY’S SONS:
Gentlehen : I bought one of your Eclipse Screw Cotton Presses early the present season, and have
pressed nearly the whole of my cotton crop with it, and so far it has given entiio satisfaction. I am well
pleased with it and think it a good Press, and an improvement upon any and all other Presses now in uso.
JOHN J. RILEY.
Wooten, Ga., January 4,187L
Messrs. R. FINDLAY’S SONS:
Dear Sins: In reply to yours of vesterdsy, I have to say that Iho Eclipse Cotton Screw, purchased of
you, haB performed admirably; I like it better than any screw I have ever used.
Yours, veiy trulv, G. M. STOKES.
Since last fall, and before accepting Patent, we added improvemen’s and labor-saving conveniences—
rendering it PERFECT in every particular. This screw, or pin, has a pitch, or fall, of 6% inches ; that
is, at every turn of the screw, follower block descends (or aeoends, as tbe case may be) 6% inches.
The device of the lube or nut in which the scrow woiks, is such as to materially reduce the friction, so
great in the common ecrew; thereby rendering it an easy task for three hands to pack a bale of cotton
in HALF THE TIME of ANY OTHER Iron Screw Press by horse-power. [See J. L. Gilbert's cert iff
cate). When desirable, an ordinary mule can be substituted for three men without change of fixtures.
(ScrewPresses also arranged for water and steam power). We claim for the “ECLIPSE” SIMPLICITY,
STRENGTH, DURABILITY, RAPIDITY. LIGHT DRAUGHT, and 8TANDING BOOM at top of box,
eto., etc.; in abort, tr« pronounce it the BEST Screw Press IN THE WORLD, and respectfully invite a
public test wit any and all other Screw Presses. To purchasers, we GUARANTEE SATISFACTION or
REFUND PRICE MONEY. Orders daily received fiom different States attest its popularity even m in
fancy. To parties who may not desire such rapidity in packing, wo can supply them with the COMMON
WROUGHT IKON SCREW of fine (elow) pitch, and warrant them equal to any other Wrcught Screw
manufactured- Bat above all others wo recommend the strong, rapid, light draught ‘ECLIPSE.
