After capturing several purses In the
race at Eatonton last week, Ur. E. L.
Dennard sold two horses, Uonna Belle
and Sehlitx, for SJOO each. Both of
these trotters were raised In Houston,
and the latter is leu than two years old.
This does not sound like horses can't be
raised profitably In Houston —Houston
Home Journal.
WHO ARE THE "MOSSBACKS r
Elsewhere appears a communication
from Uajor Speer, In which The Times.
Becobdeh Is taken to task for certain
allusions made to "moesback” citizens,
that appeared in these columns yester
day in connection with the street rail
way enterprise.
In justice to all concerned, It Is only
fair to say that The Times-Recobder
does not take so narrow a view of the
question as to oharge anybody with
“mossbackism” because they do not see
fit to adopt this special plan that lta*
been offered. Wbat The Times-RecoH-
deb wants above all considerations of
method, Is to see the cars in motion, on
almost any sort of basis; and the people
bare been urged before, and are now
urged again, to see that this Is done, and
done at once.
If the plan lately presented to our peo
pie is not the best, then let some better
one be brought forward, and the heart,
lest support of this paper la pledged.
The Times-Kecobpeb does not advo
cate the scheme now pending as being
the best; but it docs emphatically urge
that something be done on this line, un
less some better ono is proposed.
The tallest stalk of cotton we hare
seen this season was brought to this of
fice Isst Saturday by Ur. J . O. Taylor.
It miasurcd eight feat in length, and
shout as much In breadth. The bolls on
It were not In proportion to the else of
the stalk. It same from the farm of
Bob Freeman, ool.,—land belonging to
Ur. E. L. Dennard.—Houston Home
Journal.
Jeffrey Hill, whose effort! to enlist In
the United States army were commented
on a day or two ago, wlabes a little addi
tion made to the article. He wants the
public to know that when asked by the
officer If be could etand fire be promptly
replied, “Yes sir, boss. Tse been blowed
out of a well wid dynamite, and foil

BEflLL & OAKLEY,

While rumaging around in tho garrett
of the old Toomcr house, a workman
chanced upon > one curious relics with
the musty/>dor of ago hanging around
them. An old sword of tho revolutionary
pattern, corroded with rust and stain'd
dark brown in several places, supposely
by blood, and an assortment of dilapi
dated books completed tie outfit. Theso
old relics of a by-goae age will be treas
ured by Mr. Tooraer, who prizes them
It was Intended to call those men of, very highly.—Athens Ledger,
means “mossbacks" who will not help
Americus on any sort of basis whateror
In the street railway matter; but a man
ii not necessarily a mossbsck because
he does not favor this particular pro
gramme; for he may have another and a
better method to propoee, and a check to
back up bis judgment.
The great desideratum Is to operate
the railroad; and The Tiues-Recordeb
has orged the acceptance of tbe pending
proposition, not because It la tbe only
feasible one; but because enough has al
ready been done on it to virtually guar
antee Its success, and because a majority
of our people seem to favor it.
The Times-Recobder repeats that by
'“moss backs” were meant and are
nneant only those who are able, bat will
do nothing towards helping forward
this or any other enterprise, on any
baala where money has to be paid out
The question of method Is wholly Imma
terial with them; they oppoae progress,
unless other people pay for it
It la therefore a mlaapprehenilon on
the part of Uajor Speer to regard the
utterances of The Timer-Recorder as
'meaning that those citizens* are “moss
backs” who do not accept the proposi
tion now pending. Any man who will
suggest a better plan and show his faith
in It by potting up his cash Is no
“moss back.”
A HEALTHY INDUSTRIAL GROWTH,
The Manufacturers' Record of October
10 says:
The steady improvement previously
reported lb the South beoorao* more
pronounced every week, and while there
are some complaint* of inaetlvt.ty at
special points, due to local causes, the
general advancement of the whole South
shows that this section Is fast recovering
from the troubles brought on by tbe late
financial stringency. New enterprises
•ol great magnitude and of far-r*aching
importance, as well as many smaller
ones, are reported. Of vital Interest to
Iron and steelmakers everywhere Is the
signing of a contract by Hr. C. P. Hunt
ington to build a railroad to the great
- Bessemer ore district of Llano, Texas,
wblcb will open np a district that Is pro
nounced byexpertetobefar ahead of the
Lake Superior region In abundance of
ore and in ebeapnesa of mining. At Jef
ferson, in the same state, ‘the owners of
a tarn once now In operation will build
steef works; at Ashland, Ky., Urge Bes
semer steel works have just been com
pleted; at Princlpio Furnace, Md., an old
furnace property, ineluding 8,000 acres believing that each of these gentlemen
of mineral land, baa been purchased by .desires to promote this end, The Times-
a 81,000,000 company, which will build
a rolling mill, pipe works, Ac.; bricks
are being made for the steel and tinplate
works to berirallt at Savernake, Va; and
which are to cover about 15 acres of
ground; ah offer baa been received to re
move an entire tinplate plant from Wales
to Savernake, and is now under consid
eration; a 81,000,000 ore and coal mining
company has been organised to operate |
In East Tenni
“This cover* some of the more Import-1
ant enterprises, showing bow general Is
tbe Improvement extending from Mary
land to Texae, and bow widely divetsi-
' fled la tbe development that Is now go
ing on, Including almost every line of
manufacturing and tbe utilization of
southern timber* for woodworking en
terprise* of all kinds, and of southern
Iron ores for Uon and steel making and
ol southern tin ores for tlnpUte manu
facture. There is no speculation la spy
of tills growth, but simply a steady,
substantial development based on nat
ural rcsourvu." ,
The Carrollton'Time* is aoliiority for
the statement that a Ur. Tomlin set a
ben with twelve eggs, and fonr kittens
was the result of the batching.
A case that lias been standing on the
superior court docket for four years wa s
settled ye*tor day morning and suit was

Messrs. W. R. Leakln of Savannah and-
D. H. Pope of this city represented the
defendants. The attorneys for the de
fense have beeif unremitting in their ef-.

Judge Oaerry fined Capt. Stuckey five

This gave the Captain offense and be

THK STREET RAILROAD AGAIN
As the street railroad question it jnst
now one o{ paramount Interest, a good
deal of space la given np this morning to
several communications on that subject
from Major Speer, Mayor Felder and
Mr. Kenny.
Without taklnz tide* on tho issue*
raised between these gentlemen, The
TlUEs-RECoBDEn regrets that there
should .be oeeasion for any oontro-
versy whatever; and tracts that the out-
oome of the whole matter may be so
thorough a reconcilement of view* and
plans that the street railway may be pnt
Into operation at onoe.
The more thoroughly the matter Is dis
cussed, pro and con, the better the peo
ple will appreciate tbe benefits to be
derived from the speedy operation; and
Recorder hopes that upon tbe ques
tions of detail that now seem to divide
them a basis of harmony may be speedily
reached that will redound to tbe com
mon good.

Dr. B. A. Could, president of tbe
American Metrologtca^ Society, writes

HEADQUARTERS
TEXAS RLUE GRASS.
In an article contributed to a Western
paper, Mr. Geo. H. Hogan of Lamar Co.,
Texas, says of this grass:
It was Hist discovered by Dr. Jnha Torry,
la 1888. wbo went with Gen. Mercy up Red
River ae United States Botanist. He found
It on the headwater, of Trinity River lo our
Ktate and named It “Poa Ariohnlfera.''
Then was nothing more beard oflt until It
was sgsln discovered by my father, who
found It near this place in 1ST*. I sent It up
to tbe department la 1878, and they gave me
the above history, and wrote m* that “It was
each a close relative to tbe -poa pratensls,” -
I nustt to call it “wooly or web flowered
b'uegreis," so I Just wrote them that I
Should claim the right to put tbe name
Texas to It. and accordingly callsd It “Texas
blue gras,** lu contradistinction to the Ken
tucky bin* grass.
Mr. Hogan also gives following direc
tions for planting seed:
In early turnip planting some sow In
drills as sha-low as possible? Role tbs seed
In old osbee or damp sand to aaparata them

Tbe following wo condense from
several articles published by those ex
perlenccd with tbe grass and whose
opinions hare the right to be respected
as authority. The grass Is Kentucky

bluo grass. The favorito method of
propagation is to dfvldo and plant tbe
sets, insuring a quicker growth and more
vigorous plants. The roots ran deep and
stand cold and beat splendidly. It
makes a tough, solid turf. Can be grazed
from October to June. Fall Is tbe best
tl mo to sow seed and pnt out sets, Feb-
ruary and Maroh also very good time to
put out sets. It Is claimed the grass
will produce from three to fonr times as
much grazing as Kentucky blue grass.
The capabilities of this grass are n
yet generally proven bat the grass la a
tracting wide spread interest among en
terprising farmers and stockmen in the
south and the demand for both seed and
seta Is always good- This gnu promises
mnoh, and the Indications are that It
will eventually stand among our most
reliable and desirable winter grasses for
this section of oountry.
Mr, Geo. H. Hogan of Ennle, Texas,
deserves the credit of first Introducing
