look.
I left Macon in the midst of the excite
ment of the Woolfolk trial, on a dismal day
of rain and storm and bitter cold, eu route
for Blakely. At Siuithville I dined at the
McAfee Houses and thence took the train
for Albany. At the moment of leaving I
■witnessed the narrow escape from death of
an elderly gentleman. It seems he was
talking with a lady on the Macon train
when the Eufaula cars star ted off. Mistak
ing them for those bound for Albany, he
rushed out and managed to clamber on
board. Then, discovering his error when
the speed was fully la miles an hour, ho
leaped from the train and, wonderful to re
late, alighting squarely upon his feet, save
a severe shock, sustained no injury. The
old fellow, we doubt not, went on his way a
"sadder but a wiser man.” The moral of
the incident is this: Where so many trains
leave at almost the same moment, as is the
case in Smithvilie, conspicuous placards
should announce the destination of each.
BLAKELY.
After a detention of only a few minutes
at the Albany depot, the same train took its
departure for Blakely at about 3 p. m. This
branch of the “Central" is a combination
road, with only one train per day having
passenger coaches attached, and distributing
and receiving freight all along the route.
The rails on the track are old, necessitating
a slow rate of speed, and this, with the fre
quent and prolonged stops, makes the trip
anything but pleasant.
A RICH REGION.
The country traversed abounds in lime
and is one of the most productive portions
of the State. Leary and Arlington are im
portant cotton centres and do a large busi
ness. The only drawback to them ,re the
traditional chills, which will occasionally
shake up the unacclimated. But quinine
and blue pills are masters of the situation
and the people seem contented and happy.
It was long after dark when we reached
Blakely and were most hospitably received
and entertained at the
LIVINGSTON HODSE.
The proprietress, Mrs. Livingston, de
servedly enjoys the lion’s share of public
patronage. Her table is well kept, and the
beds clean and comfortable. This fact the
army of drummers fully recognize and
utilize.
The next morning was ushered in with
leaden skies and a cold and driving rain,
but your correspondent was forced to con
tinue his journey. Fortunately he was able
to procure a line turnout and spirited horse
from Mr. E. L. Fryer, whose livery estab
lishment is one of the best in Southwest
Georgia, and, under the guidance of an ex
pert "whip,” in two hours and ten minutes
he was safely deposited on the banks of the
Chattahoochee river, just opposite to Co
lumbia.
Our ride was through a magnificently
timbered section, with the clay cropping out
at the surface and the-soil productive and
easily cultivated. The railroad will do
wonders for it.
The crossing at the river is both difficult
and dangerous. After descending a precipi
tous bluff with a gentle team you may be
able to enter the "flat,” a frail and unsatis
factory structure, which is filled up stream
several hundred yards and then guided di
agonally to the other shore. There you are
bounced out and climb as best you can the
steep ascent to the road above. With such
wretched approaches no wonder that the
people on both sides of the river are clam
oring for early railway communication.
There was no back or other vehicle in
sight, and we were indebted to the courtesy
of Dr. J. F. Min ter, a prominent physician,
for a friendly lift in his buggy through the
mud and water to the
CRAWFORD HOUSE,
whose hospitable portals were thrown wide
open to welcome this disconsolate wayfarer.
The hostle of mine host has been enlarged
and much improved since our last visit, and
his pretty daughters and gentle wife know
full well bow to “welcome the coming and
spedd the parting guest.” Thanks for their
many kina attentions.
Columbia's railroad.
The long desired horn of railway commu
nication with the outer world is about to be
granted. That much talked of extension of
the Georgia Central from Blakely is very
nearly nn fait accompli. The writer in
spected a large portion of the line, crossing
it four times, and found everything in nn
advanced state of preparation.” About two
miles of the track have already Iwn cora
pleted and the work of laying the steel rails
is progressing steadily. The crosstios have
also been duly distributed, and the trestles
and culverts will soon be finished. In less
than three months probably the iron will be
down to the hanks of the” Chattahoochee.
Here no further progress can be made until
the erection of the bridge across the river.
The citizens assert that an agreement was
entered into with the authorities of the Cen
tral railroad which provided that if the
former would secure the right of way by
purchase or otherwise from Blakely to the
river, that organization would proceed to
build and equip the road at once They now
await with much anxiety the fulfillment of
this compact. That the Central will do so
as soon as the wilder freshets nro over and
the river subsides into its normal channel
cannot be doubted. Indeed, with the
RAPID CHATTAHOOCHEE
rolling between, and its frowning and pre
cipitous banks to be surmounted, the whole
enterprise would be a practical fa.lure with
out the bridge. It is safe to assert thatuntii
its completion the entire investment by all
the parties concerned will he an absolute
nullity. The swift-gliding steamers will
continue to monopolize the carrying trade
of the river. Let us hope, then, that tho
bridge may be speedily built and quick
transportation and healthy competition
vouchsafed to the enterprising people of
Columbia.
PROGRESS OF THE TOWN.
The building boom in Columbia has ex
ceeded that of any year in its previous his
tory. Many valuable and bona fide citi
zens have also moved in. The place is fast
beginning to assume the pro[xirtionß and
appearance of a thriving young city.
We notice among the recent improvements
the advent of J. S. Ramsey & Cos., exten
sive furniture dealers; the handsome gen
eral store of John T. Davis. Jr., aud the
establishment of W. P. MeGriff, who. by
purchase, has acquired the sole control of
the business and stocks of the two firms of
Oakley & Cos. and W. P. MeGriff & Cos.,
aud is running one of the largest concerns
in East Alabama. A great convenience to
fhe citizens, too, is the nice oyster saloon of
Frank Sangaree, where the juicy bivalves
aro served in evory style. Travelers will
l-oglad to learn, also, that Mr. J. M. Knowles
has nearly completed a commodious livery
and sale stable, and Is ready to accommodate
passenger to and from the boat-, and all
who may havo business in the country.
Mr. R. It. Adams, the popular Sheriff, is
again a Candidate for that office, and his
friends affirm cannot be beaten.
Among tho now industries of Columbia the
ALABAMA IRON WORKS
should not be forgotten. The proprietors,
Messrs. Brantley & Thompson, are flrst
elass machinists, aud the repairs of the
K team engines, gins and mill machinery of
"wide extent of country are done by them.
*aey are skilled experts in this line of busi
uewk.
COTTON RECEIPTS AND GRAND SALES.
Despite the fact that the cotton crop w § I
cut off fully one-fourtli in this whole region !
l>y drought, the receipts of Columbia will !
exceed by nt, least 1.000 bales those of the
last season, ami it is very generally conceded
that it will not he long after the completion
of the railroad before they will reach the
figure of “ft,ooo.

total sales footed up over 3.000 tons.
PERSONAL.
W. C. Koonce, the popular and worthy
postmaster, has been in office about 18 years
and will doubtless hold the position as long
as he desires it.
Prof. M. -S. Smith, who had charge of the
High School last year, has been a imitted to
the bar and is a young man of much prom
ise. Messrs. Walker & Espy are also prom
inent lawyers.
Mine host of the Crawford House is an
old pressman and was connected with tho
Macon Journal and Messenger under the
veteran Bimri Rose from 1849 to 1353. He
had previously, in 1843, been employed on
the Atlanta Lnininaru, then conducted by
Rev. Joseph Baker, of Liberty co., Georgia,
and afterward was also the business man
ager of the old Intelligencer. He has ever
a warm place at the iugleside for the repre
sentatives of his old craft.
Time is up and we must close these Co
lumbia notes. This is one of the best and
most certain farming sections in the South.
There is never anything like a total failure
in the crops.
A large wagon trade is concentrated here,
which brings in the numerous productions
of a wide extent of fertile territory. To its
population we know of no town that does a
larger business or has brighter prospects in
the future. H. 11. J.
THE SPHERE OF WOMAN.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox Asks Whether It
Is “at Home” or in Public.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox in Philadelphia Press.
According to my creed a woman's place is
wherever circumstances beyond her control
have placed her.
If she feels a constant and never-ceasiag
rebellion against her environments, and
craves a change of conditions, the change
will come. We may whine and complain
at Fate all our lives without ever accom
plishing anything. But the soul that looks
steadily in the face of its desire, making no
complaint, reeogniz s no ill-fortune, but de
mands from life the thing it craves, and
believes it will be given—that soul will ob
tain its wish so sure as the sun shines.
There are no circumstances which can
overthrow or circumvent the passionate re
solve of a noble, earnest soul.
I believe we are only denied the things we
crave in order to test” the strength of our
desire. There are. no accidents of birth or
fortune. A mighty intelligence directs it
all, and grants to each soul its wish, if that
soul never swerves from the intensity of
desire.
The reason so few of us obtain what we
want is because so few of us are persistent
and patient.
If any woman is placed in a situation
where she is deprived of the comforts and
the appreciation so necessary to our happi
ness, and she longs ardently enough to bet
ter her condition, the way will be opened
for her.
I cannot understand how a woman who
has been accorded that greatest of all gifts
from heaven, a happy home life, can desire
any career which interferes with it. The
result of my observation does not lead me
to believe that women who are sheltered
with love aud protection and appreciation,
do long for the plaudits of the world.
A great deal is said mid written of the
young girl or worshiped wife who neglects
kind parents or a devoted husband to pur
sue a careen. If you will take pains to in
vestigate the unwritten history of such cases
yon will find In almost every instance a
skeleton whose rattling bones drove trat
daughter or wife from her home into public
life.
MISERABLE HOME LIVES.
If every man who takes upon himself the
voluntary obligations of matrimony, per
formed his whole duty as husband an<l fath
er there would be fewer women before the
public to-day. The girl or wife who has to
tease, beg or pout in order to obtain a few
dollars for her own use, naturally lies awake
nights planning some method of earning
money.
I knew the daughter of a man whose
riches were counted among the hundreds of
thousands, and yet she was obliged to resort
to petty ruses and humiliating schemes to
get a dollar of pin money. She was allowed
to run large bills, which her father scanned
and anathematized item by item each
month, but he (lid not consider the female
members of his household competent to
carry a purse. tV hen the daughter mu
away and went on the stage as a third-rate
actress, tho world was shocked that she
should leave her elegant home and devoted
parents for the glare of the footlights.
I overheard a well-dressed and fine look
ing mail recent.}’ in a railroad car scolding
liis wife for an extravagant purchase. She
showed him the sample of anew dress she
had pureha ed. and asked with a timid look
if he thought it was pretty.
“How much dil you pay for it?” he asked,
and her answer, given with a deprecating
glance, brought forth such a growl ana
sneer that the poor wife's pleasure in her
?urchase must have been instantly ruined.
am quite sure I should have put the dress
up at auction and presented Sir Growler
with the proceeds of the sale, and then I
would have joined a circus or a minstrel
troupe, if I could find no better method of
earning a dress for myself.
Two women, who were working outside
cf homes for a livelihood, told me recently,
with teal's in their eyes, that they would
consider themselves the most blast of mor
tals to be shut within the walls of some
bumble cottage, where only faint echoes
from the world could reach them. Both
women were did veil from their homes by
the skeleton of poverty. And yet I have
heard one of these women commented on
severely as “a bold seeker after notoriety.”
She is simply doing what she is compelled
to do to keep the wolf from the door.
EXCEPTIONAL CAREERS.
There is occasionally bom into the world
a woman who e whole nature rushes like
the tide of a mighty ocean toward the shore
of some especial career. Rosa Bonheur was
one of these, the first Mi's. Siddons was
another, Anna Dick nsoit was another. In
each of these women the force of her pecu
liar genius was so great that no perfection
of home life, no opulence of wealth could
have kept her from fulfilling her destiny.
They did not choose a career, a coreor-chose
them. Many other names could lie added
to the list, yet such richly and reraai ka
blv dowered women are the exception.
The rule is that women who puisne the
hard path of a public career, which deprive*
them of a quiet domestic life, are women
who have lwen driven iuto it by stern ne
cessity.
To lie queen of a happy home, loved and
appreciated by a kind hushand and little
children, to live only for their approbation
and respect, surely this is the grandest ami
truest, sphere for woman. It is the only gen
uin j happiness which earth affords, all else
is a mere imitation, in no reform can
women do a work so beneficial to mankind
as Increasing the number of happy homes
in the land.
But this work is not given every woman
to do. Good husbands, who will love,
respect, appreciate and supiiort their wives
and daug lei's do not tana on every thres
hold ready to lead all women into this
earthly paradise. And, therefore, it is
every woman's duty to be prepared to meet
the world single-handed.
If I were blessed with a daughter I
should teach her some method of self-sup
port as religiously a* I should teach her to
love God. But my daily prayer would lie
that she might never go forth from the
shelter of the parental roof, save as tlip
queen of a good husband’s home.
