TUPui„i» 'i Daily News. v VOLUME 17 Griffin, Ga. Griffin is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro¬ gressive town in Georgia. This is no hyper¬ bolical description, as the record of the last five years will show. During that time it has built and pnt into most successful operation a $100,000 cotton actory and is now building another with nearly twice the capital. It has pnt up a u ge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac¬ tory, an immense ice and bottling works, a sash and blind factory, a broom factory, opened np the finest granite quarry in tjie U cited States, and has many other enter¬ prises in contemplation. It has secured another railroad ninety miles long, and while located on the greatest system in the South, the Central, has secured connection with Its important rival, the East Tennsssee, Virginia and Georgia. It has just secured direct inde¬ pendent connection with Chattanooga and the W< st, and has the President of a fourth railroad .residing here and working to secure its completion. With its five white and three colored cbnrches, it is now building a $10,000 new Presbyterian Ohuroh, It has increase its population by nearly one-fifth. It has at¬ tract ’ around its borders fruit growers from nearly every State in the Union, until it is now surrounded on nearly every side by or-' oliards.an' vineyards. It is the home of the grape ai J ita wine making capacity has doubled every year. It has successfully naugurated a system of public schools, with a seven years cnrricnlnm, second to none. This is part of the record of a half decade and simply shows the progress of an already admirable city, with the natural advantages of having the finest climate, summer and winter, in the world. Gridin is the county seat of Spalding county, situated in west Middle Qeorgla, with a healthy, fertile and r i' ! .ng country, 1150 feet above sea level. By the census of 1890, it will have at a low estimate between 6.000 and 7,000 people, and they are all of the right sovt—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to welcome strangers and anxious to .secure de¬ sirable'settlers, whowill not be any less wel¬ come if they bring money to help build up the town. There Is about only one thing we need badly just now, and that is a big hotel. We have several small ones, but their accom¬ modations are entirely too limited for onr business, pleasure and health seeking guests. If you see anybody that wants a good loca¬ tion for a hotel in the South, just mention Griffin. fc.

A GREAT NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPER. ’ The Stab is the only New York newspaper possessing the fullest confidence of the Na¬ tional Administration and the United Dem¬ ocracy of New York, the political battle ground of the Republic. Jeffersonian Democracy, pure and simple, is good enough for the Star. Single hand¬ ed among the metropolitan press, it has stood by the men called by the great Democ¬ racy to redeem the government from twenty-five years of Republican wastefulness and corruption and despotism to the South. For these four years past it has been unswerv ing in its fidelity the administration of Grov¬ er Cleveland. It is for him now —for Cleve^ land and Thurman—for four years more 15f Democratic honesty in onr national affairs, and of continued national tranqnility and prosperity. For people who like that sort of Democracy the Star is the paper to read. The Stab stands squarely on the National Democratic platform* It believes that any tribute exacted from the people in excess of the demands of a government economically administered is essentially oppressive and dishonest. The scheme fostered and cham¬ pioned by the Republican part-of making the government a miser, wringing millions an nually from the people and lockin % them np in vaults to serve no purpose but invite waste fulness and dishonesty, it regards as a mon¬ strous crime against the right of American citizenship. Republican political jugglers ma/call it ‘’protective taxation;” the Stab’s name for it is robbery. Through and through the Star is a great newspaper. Its tone is i ure and wholesome, its news serviee unexceptionable. Each issue presents an epitome of what is best worth knowing of the world’s history of yesterday. Its stories are told in good, quick, piotur- eque Edglish, and mighty interesting read¬ ing they are. The Sunday Star is as good as the best class magazine, and prints about the same amount of matter. Besides the day’s news it is rich in spesial desoriptivc articles, sto ries, snntches of current literature, reviews, art criticism, etc. Burdette’s inimatible hu¬ mor sparkles in its columns; Will Oarieton’s delightful letters arc of its choice offerings. Many of the best known men and women in literature and art are represented in its col umns, The Weekly Star is a large paper giving the cream of the news tbewirld over, with special features which make it the most complete family newspaper published. The farmer, the mechanic, the business man too much occupied to read a daily paper, will get more for .his dollar invested in The Weekly Stab than from any other paper It will be especially alert daring the cam paign, and will print the freshest and most reliable political news.

SWiU; «*E K S:iit Well—A “Salt Block"—Th* Various Processes. fn making a salt well It is necessary to keep out the surface water. To obtain this r'v.uli a live or six inch hole is made down to solid rock, on which a “shoulder" is made, upon which rests the iron tubing or “casting.” Below that the hole is narrowed to two or three Indies, and carries that size down to brine or salt. Where cock salt is the ma¬ terial at liotiom fresh water is forced down from the surface. It dissolves the salt, loads itself with all it can take np, about 94 per cent., and by tho same downward pressure of surface water flows into the “cisterns” through an in¬ side pipe, as clear as distilled water. A good well will yield from 400 tb 600 bar¬ rels of brine per day. But constant pumping will dog.up the pores of the salt rock, produce constipation of the well, ah bo to speak, and the yield fails to such extent that it becomes necessary tp remove the pump and administer a cathartic in the form of a oitro-glycerine torpedo. The water w ns U comes to the surface empties into huge cisterns built on trestles high enough to admit of draining them into the “settlers” inside of the “salt block." The brine is clear as pumped, but as the air acts upon it the Iron it contains in solution takes on a rust color. To get rid of this the brine is “limed” in the cisterns. A wash of lime is stirred into it, which precipates the iron, and in a week the water stands perfectly and permanently clear. Then it is drawn into other huge easterns in the block that are called settlers. These are fitted with four-inch galvanized iron pipes, through which a current of steam flows, heating the water to 175 dega. Fahrenheit. This heating does two things. It throws down the gypsum which exists in the brin$ as a sulphide, and it evapor¬ ates the water, 75 per cent of which must be thrown off in vapor before crystallization takes place. But the reader will understand me better if I first show him a salt block. One having a capacity of 225 barrels per day may be described as follows: The “block” is 208 feet by 90, 40 feet high under the center, which includes the ventilator running the entire length of the grainers, and 16 feet high in the posts. It contains two “settlers,” 4 each 140 feet long; 9 feet wide and feet deep. As the cisterns outside are high enough to drain into the settlers, so the latter are high enough to drain into the “grainers,” of which there are four, each 150 feet long, 10 feet wide and 18 inches deep. Through these also ran galva nized 4 inch steam pipes. To heat set¬ tlers and grainers there are 8,744 feet of such pipe, and other pipes connected with the works make a total of 9,000 feet. The grainers stand about 6 or 8 feet from the ground, and over their center “lifted” runs a platform upon which the salt as is left to drain before being there dumped into the “bins,” of which are about twenty. Connected with the bins are the “packing rooms,” and adjoining the block is the “shed," 280x150 feet, with a capacity of 25,000 barrels of salt. Now let us go into the block again. The settlers are fulL It is, say 8 o’clock a. m. The block is so fall of steam that you will have to strain your vision to see the floor on which you walk and guard against missteps. The grainers are nearly empty of brine, but their bottoms are covered with the salt that has been quietly falling there for twenty-four hours under a heat of 185 degs. Along each side of a grainer the gang of eight men is strung out each with his “stent.” These men are naked to the waist, over the lower limbs are drawn old woolen drawers, red being a fancy color, and on the feet old shoe* or boots with the legs cut away. Each man has a hoe and a shovel. With the one he polls the salt from the center to the side of the grainer and with the other he “lifts” it npon the aforesaid platform. On every man per¬ spiration stands in great beads or trickles down his skin in tiny streams. No need of Turkish baths for these fellows! They are as clean, solid and hardy as well trained athletes. The salt lifted, the grainers are tdinper- refilled with Brine from the Bettlers, its ature raised to 185 degrees, and in a short time you will see a film forming over the surface of the saturated brine. That is salt Watch it a few moments and you will see this film break into pieces and take a “header” down below. So the process goes on for twenty-four hours, when the lifting operation is re¬ peated, and so from day to day through the season. By 11 o’clock the men have wheeled the salt to bins and there settles over the graining room a silence as pro¬ found as that which must have brooded over th<* abyss of nothingness ere it was said there should be light Yet in that silence goes on unceasingly from hour to hour a mystery as wonderful, as beau¬ tiful, as divine, as is seen in the evolution or dissipation of a world. The heat un¬ folds the wings, as it were, of the mole- coles of water and they rise through the air, but the sodium is too heavy, too earthy, and cannot It soar.

THE MILLS BILL WILL PASS* MEMBERS SAY A VOTE WILL BE REACHED IN TWO WEEKS. Adjournment of Congress Proba¬ ble August 1—The Senate Sub¬ stitute Nearly Ready- Washington, July 10.—Re presto McKinley, of tbe Ways and Committee says that the pas¬ of the Tariff hill in the House is toregone conclusion, “There haB no agreement on the part of Republicans to stop the debate,” e adds, “but I am of the opinion that tho bill will pass within two Of course, one speech is to provoke another, and the may last longer, but I hardly it will. The Republicans will no dilatory tactics to impede passage of the measure, but will it to be seat to the Senate.” “I believe we shall have a final on the bill inside of two weeks,” Representative Breckinridge. wool clause is likely to excite debate, and so is that relating to pottery, but 1 believe the fare tacitly agreed that the bill shall go io the Senate.” Representative Bayne, of Pittburg another Republican leader who pre an early passage of the Tariff bill. The Senate substitute will be •ady to report in three weeks. The of the Senate Finance Senators AIHsod, His and Aldrich, has been listening dally to representatives of various interests, and the Republicans claim that when the Senate Tariff bill reported “it wiii be the most por feet piece of legislation ever offered to or enacted by Congress.” Sena tor Aldrich, who has given the tariff question a close study, has been giv¬ ing his entire attention to framing the measure. It will bo offered in the Senate as a substitute foi the Mills bill. A member of the Senate Commit tee on Appropriations, in speculating upon the final adjournment, remark ed to-day that there is about four weeks’ work on general appropria tion bills yet to be transacted. Said he: “The Agricultural bill is in con ference, and there is a hitoh over the item providing foi expejiments in sugar manufacturing. The Army bill is before the House Committee with the Senate amendments. The District of Columbia bill is rlso in conference, and the House conferees are disposed to sund out againsst certain provisions for street improve ments. “The Fortification bill has not yet been reported from the House com mittee and there seems to be no dispo sition to hasten action upon it. The Indian bill has become a law; so have tbe Military Academy and Pen sion bills. Tbe Legislative, Executive and Judicial bill was sent to tbe President today. The Naval bill is still before the Senate Committee and will be ready for consideration by the Sena’e in a few days. Tbe Hirer and Harbor bill baa been sent back to the House with Senate amend ments, “The P..st Office Appropriation bill is still in the hands of a confer¬ ence committee, tho Sundry Civil Service bill is upon the tabla of the Senate committee, aud the General Deficiency bill has* not yet come up before tbe House committee.” It isof course possible to rush all these measures through Congress within a week or ten days, but those who believe in giving all money bills careful consideration estimate that at least four or six weeks can be profi tably spent in passing upon these measures. REPLYING TO BILL «RP. Subscriber Who Does Net Believe in Cringing to the Rich Classes- Editor Griffin Nkwb:— Our friend in bis reply to some editors, they have had their say and now he had his say and for all to be ae and it seems that the editors have taken him at bis word and that may be best. But ho appears to occupy two op extremes at tbe same time— that those accused of using rebel lions language at the Sooth, and the Northern Republicans, who repeat them in trying to break down the Democratic party, the first tally bus tamed in what they said, and tbe second claimed to be of tbe choicest people on earth, But the Northern Democracy who, we all believ*, is helping us to up hold what is rignt and for the best are besmirched, the Republicans in wrong doing are placed far above Democrats who are doing right, Why did Toombs, Stephens and Others leave tbe party of the wise, great and rich to join one ignorant, small and poor ? Well, we do not believe there was one particle of re t illion in Jackson or his speech—or in any one else iu Macon at that ti.mc—or in Georgia, or in other Southern State. Bat it seems those over nice Northern Republicans tried to use it immediately afterwards in an Ohio election, and was not oar own Gordon attacked by them when over there to make a speech— asked if he sustained Jackson’s speech—if not, would he condemn Jackson’s speech ? Showing clearly that they they jumped at the first op portunity to use it against the party. Bat who was it that stood op for Gordon and others, that were true men but this “lower and ignorant class”of Northern Democrats as they aro wrongfully denominated f Was it not recently reported that -a very noted sou of a very noted General, at the Chicago convention expressed himself as very decidedly ef tho opinion that the Sooth was still rebellious ? Well, it may be just us bard to make some people believe there was no wish with a certain party President with a view of his becoming emperor and woold it be astonishing if some have thought, at one time, that a great and oonstant cry of rebellion against tbe South would tend to make this a stronger government. Yet we do not know that there is a great many good peo pie that honestly believe that the Southern people are more opposed to eh.. :ging tho government of tbe Ui; ed States than the Northern peo pit , especially the Republicans, and that if it were not for tbe much abused Democrats of the North fo help the South the government would be in much more danger of coustaut change. Ouce yon establish a strong gov¬ ern meat it would bo an easy matter to get np some pretence to oppress t-ic weak. This might suit some young bloods at the North with their training. But we would far prefer to be bumble Democrats, wishing evi ry one on earth to hare his josi rigl.ts, but every one on earth puw r less io do another wrong in uttj ■hap--, lither in person «r property, Now r.3 to class —as between Northern Democrats and Northern Republicans— a rather nntumal snb ject in the way it ia handled. If there ia a difference, we suppose that it does not run as claimed by NUMBER 148 jhe write-, Bill Arp,bat that it is tha middle class that tbe composed of, and and all tin world over, think, that they, the ai tbe backbone and sinew of that is good and stable in govern ments, as well as in everything else that is of valae and to tbe best inter of man in keeping everything in m order and oat ef chaos. & And of coarse the good men of the class and the beat of both the other classes will nse their beat endeavor to prevent the rich anil do signing, if they do constitute the Bo publican party North, from carrying ell who might be too readily iafloeoe ed to go wrong by scheming men of so great weight and power.
