The day is a legal hol iday in Virginia, aud the old vets will doubtless celebrate it with an imposing and interesting programme. 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.” FURSTITURE GEO. W.
