tM.Q-Qj—
Judge Cicero C.Hammock, of Atlan
ta, is dead. He was one ot the best
known and most universally esteemed
citizens of the capital city. He was a
gallant soldier in the Mexican and
Confederate wars, twice Mayor of At
lanta and at the time of his death was
chairman of the board of water com
missioners.
The Democratic Senators continue
making speeches against the force
bill, and the republicans say but little,
but hold caucuses, and try to briDg
their forces up to itn support. The
fate of the bill is doubtful yet, with
the prospects favorable to its defeat.
Harrison and lii3 followers think
■t their only chance for success in the
next election is by having their own
tools to do the counting, and arc very
pressing for the passage of the bill,
but we trust that the voice of the
people will prove stronger than that
of this partisan president.
Our Branch Colleges. •
We regret to see that' the house
of representatives has decided to grant
no more aid to the branch colleges.
The people of Thoraasvillc were in
duced, by the promise of State aid,
to invest eleven thousand dollars in
land and buildings, and make a deed
therefor to the State. The college
has been under the control of the
State University, and has sent many
scholars there, besides sending out
quite a number of excellent teachers
for the public schools. Our legisla
ture seem anxious to build up a pub
lic school system, which is all right,
but they seem to overlook the pressing
need of good teachers for- those
schools. The public schools cau only
give a elementary education, aud
much more is necessary to make good
teachers. If it is important to have
teachers fitted for their work, we
must have schools of higher grade,
and the amounts asked for by these
higher schools where teae.hers are
prepared for their work is so very
small that it would he very poor
economy to cut them off from the
noble work they are doing. Evident
ly the prejudice of members has
been stirred up agaiust these colleges,
and reason has not had full sway.
A Bustof Commodore Maury.
Richmond, Va., Dec. 14.—Valen
tine, the Virginia sculptor, has just
completed what is pronounced to be
an excellent bust of Commodore*Mat-
thew Fontaine Maury, the dismguish-
ed mariner who is known everywhere
as “the pathfinder of the sea," and it
will be shipped to New York to be
placed in the hall of the Southern So-
* clety. The bust Is a copy of a model
made many years ago 10 be presented
to the society by Mr. James R. Worth,
one of the members, now a resident of
th: city, who married a daughter of
General Maury.
The New Cotton Harvesting
chine.
The Boston Journal of Commerce
pays its respects to the. cotton har
vester. It is claimed that the new
machine will pick front the plant
1500 pounds of cotton in two hours.
Fifteen men would have to work ten
hours to do what the machine did in
two hours. Consequently, the ma
chine would do in ten hours the labor
of seventy-five hands ’I lie cotton
picked by this machine on one of the
plantations in Mississippi was exhib
ited not long since at the Memphis
Cotton Exchange, and was pro
nounced by a number of cotton lac
tors and brokers as worth half n cent
a pound more than the hand-picked
cotton from the same plantation
This was accounted for by the fact
that the picking spindles of the ma
chine can only gather the open bolls
of cotton, in which the cotton is fully
levclopad, whereas the hands gather
cracked and partially’ opened bolls,
containing more or less immature
fibers, because they arc paid by the
hundred pounds,aud all cotton weighs,
whether mature or immature, clear or
stained.
The mntter of labor in gathering
the cotton crop lias been this season a
momentous one in some sections of
the South, not only in its cost, hut in
the scarcity of hands at any price.
For the simple harvesting of this
year’s crop it will cost in labor nlone
not far from eighty to ninety millions
of dollars. If this machine will save
the South fifty to sixty million dol
lars in labor at a critical moment in
cotton husbandry it will ho one oFthc
greatest inventions of the age. It
means a saving of one and a half
cents for every pound of lint cotton
gathered.—Augusta Chronicle.
Gould on Southern Government.
Jay Gould, in a long interview in
the New York Sun, declares himself
as opposed to the McKinley bill,
favor of a mild protective tariff sys
tem, a freer coinage and circulation
of silver, inter national bimetalism,
and against the inter state commerce
law.
On the question of (Jovcnimcnt in
the South he ie more emphatic in his
utterances, if possible, than was Gov.
Tillman of South Carolina in his in
augural address. Mr. Gould says he
has no confidence in the Africans as a
race in governmental matters, and
that this must be a white man’s gov
ernment in every managerial feat
ure.
In speaking of his travels and ob
servations in tho South he declared
that he had rarely ever met a respect
able or responsible white man there
who was a republican in politics.
On the present force hill Lcfore
Congrest lie said : "I am opposed to
this election bill which has been con
sidered in Congress for the Southern
State. I have some times noticed in
the Southern States where a white
woman will be siting iu a car, and
there were other seats to occupy tlmu
that one, that a colored man would go
and sit in one half of that. Nobody,
North or South, if it earne to a mat
ter of hid own family would look
with indifference upon such behavior
at that.”

Washington, Dec. 17.—Major
General Scofield has received u dis
patch from Geu. Miles, dated Long

and these with the other Indians at
Pine Ridge and Rosebud are all that
can he drawn out of the disaffected
camp; that the others are defiant and
