Newspaper Page TextThe Democrat. PUBLISHED EVERY BY CLEM. C. MOORE. VI!A WFOR1 ) VILLE, GEORGIA. Entered «t the post-office at Crawfordvilie, Georgia, a» second-class mail nutter. According to the estimate of Edward Atkinson that the average production of each man, woman and child in the United States is the equivalent of $200 per annum on an average, it requires the labor of nearly 400,000 to pay our an¬ nual pensions. No other country in the world begins to do anything like this for its soldiers It takes nearly $80,000,000 to pay the pensions this year, which is more than the total expenditures of the gen¬ eral government before the war. It seems that the idea of attempting to defeat nature by going without food is in no sense a novelty. London Notes and Queries cites an instance which oc¬ curred in 1357, during the reign of Ed¬ ward HI, of a woman who was consigned to Nottingham prison for life for the murder of her husband, who held her¬ self without food or drink forty days. Her experiment served a practical pur¬ pose, for it moved his majesty’s heart to pity, and he ordered her liberation. According to the New Orleans Times Democrat, the money spent by Congress on the Mississippi river levees amounts to $1,600,112, and $4,240,000 more is needed to complete the system, making a total of about $6,000,006. The Timos Dcmocratic says that even if all this money is granted it will be less than one tenth of the sum already spent by the levee states, viz.: Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Tennessee. TI 10 alluvial land defended by these dikes includes some 28,762,000 acres, with a population of 1,925,728 and an average annual agri¬ cultural production of $78,755,000. Cincinnati will be, as nearly as its age can bo reckoned, one hundred years old in 1888. A beautiful city on a plain and surrounded hv hills, it lias had a rapidity of growth which is astonishing. At the beginning of the century there were seven hundred and fifty people Oil its site. In this year of our Lori 1887 the native modesty of its inhabitants forbids them to say that it is the pivotal centre on which the solar system swings. It will celebrate its centennial with all the ceremonies that local pride can sug¬ gest- *__ 1 The fact that several rcsidentsof Troy wero recently killed by odorless gas has aroused some inquiry ns to the use of this dangerous agent. It seems that this fuel gas, which is manufactured and used for various domestic purposes, can readily bo made safe, or at least practi¬ cally so, by giving it an odor which will enable customers to detect its presence, and many patents have been taken out to accomplish this result. It may not bo generally known that common gas can easily be made odorless, but that the odor is retained ns a protection. A had boy came before a judge in a Cleveland court recently, charged with assaulting his mother. Ho was an old offender, and in committing the lad the judge remarked: “The boy is not re¬ sponsible for what ho does. There is something wrong in his blood, lie’ll kill you some day—you or somebody else— and then, when he’s charged with mur¬ der, they'll introduce a plea of insanity. It will be sustained, too. The boy ought to bo locked up. He’s been before this court for almost every offence from sus¬ picion up and down. Costs and six months.” Such a case ns this brings up interesting questions of how far crime is a disease. A woman has just died at the reforma¬ tory at Indianapolis who was 89 years of age and has been in prison since 1850, when she was sentmeed to imprison¬ ment for life for complicity in a horrible murder of a whole family—a man, his wife and four children. She was a motherly old woman, and to look at her wrinkled face one would never suppose that she was guilty of such an awful crime. She had charge of the milk de partment while at Jefferson ville, and was passionately fond of the children of the guards, who wero sent there fot milk. Frequently she would give them presents to kiss her, and not one of them seemed afraid of her. IRON BRIDGE WORKS. Another Industry t.oVn* to l.ocute ■“ Decatur, %!abntna.

A correspondent of the Point Coupee Banner advocates the establishment of a cotton seed oil mill at New Orleans in opposition to American Oil Trust. Such a mill, lie says, could purchase seed in Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee. Alabama and Mississippi, which furnish about 500,000 tuns of seed annually. The independent mill would only want about 30,000 tons, but it is believed that its competition with the Oil Trust would run up the price of the whole product about $4 per ton. Oil Trust lias to pay dividends on $40,000,000 of capital, and could not afford the correspondent thinks, to light the new company to the extent it has heretofore done. The capital stock would be $250,000, a portion of which would bo held by the planters, and a profit of $4 per ton on the product, would result in a dividend of 40 per cent.

Five cars fell through the bridge instantly killing thirty-three persons and horribly wounding many others. The train was crowded with I working people principally. The engi j neer, when his engine broke from the train, kept right on to Forest Hill to give the alarm instead of stopping and to ascertain the extent of the damage, on tlu.t account it was impossible to get any assistance at once. Three cars went ; over safely with the engine, but the five others ieli to the road beneath a distance of thirty feet.
