THURSDAY. MAY 4,1882.
EDITORIAL VOTES
—If Senator Hill does die we verily
Miete the Atlanta Correspondent of
the Savannah News will rejoice, for the
reaeon that he has been predicting that
event for the past two years. We hope
that he may be a false prophet in this
—As we said in onr last issue, we
weald delight to see Hon. W. A. Har
ris, of Worth county, nominated for
Congress from the State at large ; and
ve mean every word we say. The
Worth Star has all of the aid and com
fort in the valiant fight it is making for
this gallant gentleman that we can
give.
—We know that our readers will
approve of the space we devote this
week to the Chattanooga, Columbus &
Florida Railroad. The articles were
takeo from the Columbus Enquirer.
Th* Democrat has been pegging away
<at this enterprise for the last ten years,
and we arc glad to see that we are
even at this late day getting able news
paper help.
—The Railroad Commission of Geor
gia needs revision by all means. We
de not desire it abolished for we are
certain that railroad monopolies should
be held within a proper check ; but to
Mt np three autocrats with unlimited
powers to control this immense property
• and to be responsible only to themselves
we think is carrying the thing too far.
Give the railroads a fair showing-
nothing else.
—Mr. ‘‘A. G. Persimmon,” alias
Bosk, the Southern correspondent for
the Buffalo (N. Y.) Courier, “took in”
the country from Bainbridge via Col
quitt to Arlington, on or about the 15 th
wnltiao, as we notice in au extended
letter written from the latter town
bearing that date. He wrote a very
readable and spicy letter, but a bigger
liar was never given access to the
eolmnns of a newspaper. His slander
on Bainbridge was doubtless occasioned
from the fact that he left without pay
off his board bill. His personalities,
toe, npon the good people of Colquitt
were only worthy of a Bohemian and a
fraud. Probably he left that village
Minos a board bill, also.
0V1 RAILROAD PROSPECTS.
We Bhall not tire our readers this
week with a long editorial on the above
•abject. We have talked considerably
about it lately, but would reiterate that
car prospects are bright
The recent survey of the S. F. & W.
R’y to Chattahoochee gives us great
hope that the work on this important
line will begin from Bainbridge at an
early day. Of course it has not yet
been definitely settled, but we know
that Maj. H. 8. Haines, the General
Manager of the road, will do all in his
power to locate the road from our town.
Maj. Haines is now, and always has
been a staunch friend of Bainbridge.
Besides the early extension of the
above road, the readers of The Demo
crat to-day will find that the Chatta
nooga, Columbus aotfSoutltern is taking
ahape. We oopy copiously from the
Columbus Enquirer, and the articles
•how that President McLendon ‘‘is not
letting the grass grow under his feet.”
He is young, able and active, and his
•mag around the circle means sorne-
4h«g. The Enquirer of the 30th con
tinues the subject at length, and has in
terviewed the leading citizens of the
plaee, and all favor the Dew enterprise.
The New Road.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun, 30/A.
Onr article on the Chattanooga,
Columbus and Florida railroad yester-
day morning was very generally discuss
ed daring the day, and the prospects of
the new road was received with much
enthusiasm. We shall continue these
articles in reference to the road from
time to time until our readers are given
the entire connection. In our local
eolumns this morning we give the opin
ions as expressed by some of our most
prominent business men in regard to
the opening up of this new enterprise.
It ohowi that the citizens of this city
appreciate the importance of this road
te Columbus, and we feel fully guaran
teed ia making the statement that the
•oterpriae will meet with the heartiest
eaeooragement from onr business men.
The manner in which the president of
the Board of Trade proposes to take
hold of it indicates that the company
will meet with a strong endorsement.
The Hew Railroad.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
In onr local columes this morning
will be found an article giving the facts
in regard to the Chattanooga, Columbus
and Florida railroad. We have been
watching this road for some time, but
until recently have not been in posses
sion of such facts as we desired to give
the public. Now we have them, and
from time to time will present such as
will most probably be of interest. The
reader can see at a glance that this
road is destined to become one of the
most important thoroughfares of which
Georgia is possessed, and which is
opened up to Florida. It is in the
hands of capable and competent gen
tleman who will see that it is carried
to rapid completion. We have assur
ances which lead us to indulge the
strongest, hope that the road will reach
this city within a year. If such ar
rangements cannot be perfected that
will insure its immediate construction,
the present owners of the road will
take the construction in hand and
build it themselves. They do not ask
aid from others, as they are prepared
to undertake the work. The conversa
tion which we give with the president
of the road this morning indicates the
benefits that this city is likely to re
ceive. The president is a gentleman o*“
high business qualification^ and is re
liable in each particular. When this
road is completed it will only require
but little effort upon the part ofCoJum-
bus to reach one of the finest trades
that this city possessed in years. This
will then be the natural market and
where Savannah now has a monopoly
will prove a bonanza for those who work
it up. Just here a suggestion to our
board of trade will not be out of place.
This road does not ask any money or
any aid from the city of Columbus, but
encouragement by our board of trade
would have the effect of stimulating the
projectors of the road, and any induce
ment offered jrould have this tendency.
It must have access to the city, and
what Columbus may do in affording
them facilities that they may require
in the usual way will be alike to the
interest of the city as well as the road.
We are in possession of such facts as
give strong confidence that the imme
diate building of the road is among the
realities and that it will be one of the
most important lines that reach this
city, none will question. It will be to
the system of Florida roads what the
Western and Atlantic is to the Georgia
system, and the more its importance is
understood the more will it be to the
advantage of Columbus, which place
will be the northern terminus for the
present. But we shall speak of this
road again. In the meantime we can
but congratulate the citizens of Colum
bus upon the early fruition promised of
au outlet which has become a public
necessity.
Hew Steamers for our River.
Columbus Enquirer- Sun.
We learn that the Central Hue has
under consideration the advisibility of
having built a new steamer to ply be
tween this city and Apalachicola. If
built, it will be somewhat larger than
the steamer G. W. Wyly, and will be
better fitted up. It will be built to run
during the low water period, so as to
give us river transportation during all
seasons of the year. The management
have not fully decided on the matter,
but it is quite probable that they will
decide to build the boat. If so, the
work will be begun in about two weeks.
STILL ANOTHER.
It is also said that the People’s line
will have built a new boat at an early
day. It will be a light draft boat,
built especially for navigating the river
during law stages of the water. From
•rhat we can learn, it will be about the
size of the G. Gunby Jordan, and will
be comfortably arranged for passengers.
The management have the subject un
der consideration, and no doubt the
work of building the steamer will be
commenced ia iu a few days.
Both steamers are to be built on the
wharf in this city.

Consumption, that scourge of huramity,
is the great dread of the humaAamily, in
all civilized countries.
I feel confident that I am in possession
of the only sure, infnllable Remedy—
now known to the profession—for the posi
tive and speedy cure of that dread disease,
and its unwelcome concomitants, viz-. Ca
tarrh, Asthma, Bronchitis, Nervous Debility
&e.,'&e. I may be called an old fogy. I
believe in medicine. Twenty-eight years
experience as a busy practitioneer, in the
best Consumptive Hospitals of the Old and
New world, has taught me the value of
proper medication, both local and constitu
tional, in the cure of this great enemy of
our race. I have found it. But I am di
gressing. I started out to say to those
suffering with Consumption or any of the
above maladies, that by addressing me, they
shall be put in possession of this great boon,
without charge, and shall Lave the benefit
of my experience in thousands of case*
successfully treated. Full particulars, d ; -
rections for preparation and use, and til
necessary advice and instructions for ac
cess ful treatment at your own home, wiljbe
received by you by retur^ftnail, free of
charge by addressing with stamp or stamped
self addressed envelope.

—We propose to enter the approach
ing political campaign- as an advocate
of unadulterated Democracy, We be
lieve that within that party the best
good of the Union lies; we know that
the only salvation of the South from
misgovernment and degradation begins
and ends in the Democratic party. Of
course, as we alwayB have been, we shall
be independent enough to cry out.
against anything like party abuse, but
for the unterrified, unshackled, and ever
glorious Democracy we shall do battle
to the bitter end if necessary. Let the
lines be strictly drawn between Demo
cracy and Radicalism, and let no
Democrat give ear. to the so-called
