When through the persistent efforts of
Hon C. B. Farwell, of Chicago, congress
was induced to appropriate a small sum
of money for an experiment in rain
making in the arid regions of this coun
try, the wits and paragraphers of the
press made all manner of fun of the Il
linois senator. Now the laugh is with
that statesman and those who had faith
In his projects. Tills was to employ
dynamite or somo other powerful ex

laden with moisture, while others arc

What is the matter witli the Knqulrer-
Sun that it is not acquainted with its
own state, and more especially with the
people of the metropolis of Southwest
ern Georgia, which distinction Americus
proudly claims and sustains.
The Hotel Windsor is a native born
Georgia name. It is a name that has
done much for Americus, and especially
has it been connected with the erection
of our magnificent new hotel.
The “Hotel Windsor” is named in
honor of Mr. John Windsor, cashier of
the People's National Hank of Americus,
secrotary and treasurer of the Americus
Improvement Company, which has built
the hotel, and In many other ways con
nectcd with the growth and prosperity
of the city. In honoring this distin
guished citizen the hotel company had
no thougnt of the old English Windsor
Castio, hut desired only to pay a just
tribute to one who has bent his best
energies in building up Americus.
The now hotel, which is tbo pride of
all Americus, is named in honor of Mr.
John Windsor, of Americus, Ga.
Last week Mr. Irving W. Soott, prcsl
-dent of the Union Iron Works of .San
Francisco, which built the United Stntes
Cruiser Charleston, and Mr. C. If.
Cramp, the Philadelphia ship-builder,
returned from a tour of inspection of all
the great ship-yards in Europe. In an
Interview published in the New York
Press, Mr. Scott said: “I visited the
great ship-yards of Hamburg, Barrow,
Belfast and Glasgow—that is to say, the
Dutch, English, IriBh and Scotch yards.
They aro not much ahead of the United
States, oxcept In a few modern Inven
tions, No one of the yards I visited Is
as largo, complete and perfect as the
sblp-ysrd at Newport News, Va., which
is principally owned by C. P. Hunting-
ton.” Newport News, Va., and the
whole South oan afford to do some
boasting over having the world's finest
ship-yard.
CnARi.EV Foster, the secretary of
the treasury, who Is trying to braco up
the falling fortunes of McKinley In
Ohio, made a statement to the effect
that the Republican party Is a party that
does things. That Is exactly wbat is
the matter. The Republican party does
and has done things which has caused
the people to array themselves against
it with a firm determination to wipe up
the face of the earth with It next No*
vember. Among the things that It has
done which are still fresh In - the public
mind was the looting of the Treasury,
the passage of the inlquitious McKinley
bill, tbo voting of subsidies, and kindred
measures, and the voters of the country
will remember these things wheu they
go to tho polls.
It is with pardonable pride that Tiie
Tiues-Uecoruer points to the enthusi
astic responso of the Young Democracy
of Sumtor county to the call in these
columns, in Saturday’s issue. It shows
plainly that there are no milk-and-cidcr
Democrats within the county's coniines.
On tho other hand, those who
aro Democrats here are simon-
pure Bourbon Democrats. There
Is no doubt bat that the meet

tbusioatie ns could be wished, and The

young and old Democrats to attend.
Lieut. Gov. Joxes of New York, after
discovering that it was impossible for
him to get the Democratic nomination
for Governor of that state, has decided
to run os an Independent. Tbqro will,
however, be a very small following be-
hind the Jones banner, and when tho
votes are counted the chilling winds of
defoat will whistle through his waving
whiskers. The Republicans may imag.
ins that Jones' candidacy as an Inde-
pendrut will divide the Democrats, but
they will discover their error.
rain-making. Within a fortnight prac
tical tests have been made In Texas and
New Mexico, and the truth of the hypo
thesis established.
The experiments ordered by Congress
wore intrusted to the Department of
Agriculture, which gave them in charge
to (ien. R G. Dykrenfiirth. That gen
tleman selected Midland, Texas, for the
first experiments, and there ho arrived
week before last witli a party consisting
of I'rofessor Edward Rowers, of Dela-
van, Wis., civil engineer; Dr. C. A O.
Roseil, chemist; Professor George E.
Curtis, Smithsonian Institute, meteoro
logist; John T. Ellis, secretary; Paul A.
Draper, electrician; two balloonists, and
a large number of assistants.
The ranch of Nelson Morris, compris
ing 300,000 acres, on which no rain had
fallen for six weeks, was chosen for the
trial. This is a vast prairie, over which
the winds aro continually swooping.
There a shed was built, in which the
oxybydrogen gas was rnado and the bal
loon inflated. Three classes of experi
ments were made. One was tho explo
sion on the earth of giant powder and
rend-rock bombs; the second,of sending
to a lofty height large cloth kites, heavi
ly loaded with dynamite cartridges.
These were exploded by an electric cur
rent sent to them through the wire used
Instead of a kite string. The third tvas
by balloons charged .with oxybydrogen
gas, exploded at a height of 5,000 feet.
A copious rain followed close after the
first explosion; It continued several
hours over a large area. Four other ex
periments were made, and wore attended
by similar results.—Manufacturers Rec

One country editor has been forced to
acknowledge the truth, and frankly ad-

fact that the financial depression has af

Purse wonts to take the Kansas City to
Washington and invite the Congressmen
and Senators, and President Harrison
end bis Cabinet, to Savannah and get a
practical idea of what is needed to make
this port one of the leading ports of the
