Griffin, Ga.
Griffln Is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro¬
gressive town in Georgia. This is no hyper¬
bolical description, as the record of the last
tive years will show.
During that time it has built and put into
most successful operation a 1100,000 cotton
actory and is now building another with
nearly twice the capital. It has pnt up a
aige iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac¬
tory, an immense ice and bottling works, a
sash and blind factory, a broom faotory
opened up the finest granite quarry in the
United State”, and has many other enter¬
prises in ontemplatiou. It has secured
another mi road ninety miles long, and while
ooateaon the greatest system in the South,
the Central, has secured connection with its
important rival, the East Tennsssee, Virginia
nd Georgia. It has just secured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
the Wi st, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
to its ultimate completion. With
ts te and three colored
churches, it is bow building a $10,000 new
Presbyterian ohuroh. It has increased its
population by nearly one fifth. It has at-
racted around its borders fruit growers f ro m
nearly every State in the Union, until it is
now surrounded on nearly every side by or
chards and vineyards. It is the home of the
rape and ils we making capacity has
doubled every year. It has successfully
inaugurated a system of publio schools, with
a seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the record of a half decade
aud simply shows the progress of an already
admirable city, with the natural advantages
<of having the finest climate, summer and
winter, in the world.
Griffln is the county seat of 8palding
county, situated in west Middle Georgia, with
a healthy, fertile and rolling 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
sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
weleome strangers and anxious to secure de
suable settlers, who will not be any less wel
■come if-they bring money to help huild 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 our
business, pleasure and health seeking guests.
If you see anybody that wants a good loea-
ion for a hotel in the South, just mention
Griffln.

There is much excitement over the re¬

of Edwin Hoyt was broken. Hoyt's By the ap¬
plication opening of of a battery the to and seeming corpse

Barry's Resignation May Mean a Bolt.
Philadelphia, Oct. 9.—[Special.]—T.
B. Barry’s resignation as a member of
the general executive board of the
Knights of Labor, accompanied by a bit¬

mors of a conspiracy to bolt from the In¬

The Crafty Whiskey Distiller*
Washington, D. C., Oet. 9.—The sec¬
tion of the republican tariff bill, relating
to alcohol in the industrial arts and
against which Senator Sherman craftily
put himself on record, turns out to te
one that was practically framed by Dr.
Rush, who is known as the official agent
of the western distillers in all matters af¬
fecting their interests before congress or
the treasury department.
The whisky men have maintained that
they had no interest in having commer¬
cial alcohol freed of the tax, but the ac¬
tion of their representative since the
preparation of the two tariff began be¬
lies this. As long ago as the 30th of last
June Dr. Rush, in a published interview,
admitted that the bill which he had pre¬
viously prepared, looking to free alcohol
in the arts, “practically discriminated
against (he small manufacturers, as it is
only the larger factories that would be
able to stand the additional expense of a
separate warehouse and a government
officer,”
An examination of the Kush bill and
the senate bill shows that the person
who drafted the latter had seen the for¬
mer, as tho two are almost identical.
The third section of the Rush bill is
given in full. It corresponds with the
fifth section of the senate bill. That sec¬
tion in lioth bills relates to the way in
which alcohol may te used free of tax.
The two sections are interchangablc in
the the matter of bill phraseology, is trifle except that
senate a more re¬
dundant. and shows that the former had
teen “edited” by men experienced in the
business of creating legislative enact¬
ments. The penalties arid all other mat¬
ters of any importance are the same, and
it is only too obvious that the republi¬
can members of the finance committee
have most obligingly adopted a bill
which had previously been submitted to
the whisky trust and had met its entire
satisfaction.
Dr. Rush submitted iiis bill in manu¬
script to Commissioner of Internal Rev¬
enue Miller, and asked that official's
opinion on it. Mr. Miller gave it as hia
opinion that the scheme was not feasi¬
ble, and would open the door to unlim¬
ited fraud.
