Atlanta Constitution.
It now seems certain that H.S. Haines
will be elected commissioner of the Soufh-
em States Freight Association to suc
ceed Major E. B. Stahlman.
This is by no means a surprise to the
railroad men of the south since the pre
diction has been liberally made in the
the Constitution for some time that in
the race for the place the name of Mr.
Haines seemed to stand first, and that of
commissioner Finley, of the passenger
association next, with others on the list
It may be regarded as fixed that the
new commissioner will be Mr. Haines.
The election of commissioner will not
take place, however, until next Tuesday.
Mr. Haines is now in Europe, or is
probably on his way back from a trip to
the old country.
He is a well known railroader, haying
been prominently connected with the
railroads of the south for a number of
years.
He entered the railroad service in
1852, since which time he has been
consecutively rodman and engineei with
the corps of construction of the Wilming
ton and Manchester raslroad. He was
an apprentice in the machine shops and
locomotive engineer with the Northeast
railway of South Carolina. He was As
sistant engineer of construction of the
Charleston and Savannah railroad, and
assistant engineer of location of the
! Port Royal railroad. He was super
intendent and chief engineer of the
Charleston and Savannah railroad and af
terwards general superintendent of
the Atlantic and Gulf railroad. After
wards he held the positions of general
manager and vice president of the Sa
vannah, Florida & Western railroad.
Mr. Haines is also president oi the
American Railway Association and pre
sided at the recent meeting held at St.
Louis.
He is one of the most prominent rail
road men in the South ana is regarded
as a strong man in the management of
railroad properties, having had years of
experience in the service, both in the op
erating ana in the traffic departments of
railroading.

How Georgia Grows.
The rapid advance of the Scuth from
an industrial point of view is well illus
trated by the growth of manufactures in
Georgia, the representative southern
state. Twenty years ago the annual out
put of goods manufactured in Georgia
was worth less than $11,000,000; ter
years ago it was $40,00,000; to-day it is
nearly $75,000,000. This indicates that
the tide of prosperity that began to set
in throughout that state a score of years
ago has gone steadily on and without
the least reaction that is apt to follow a
boom. Georgia still ships annually to
•the northern states $90,000,000 worth of
raw products, which are shipped back to
her in the finished form, and for which
she continues to pay the freight both
ways, besides the manufacturer’s profits.
From this condition, however, Georgia,
like the entire southern country, is rap
idly recovering. Her people are begin
ning to utilize the opportunities at hand
for manufacture on their own soil.
Philadelphia Record.
For Solicitor General.
We find the following in the Brooks
County News, of the 23d inst:
“ We are informed that CoL W. S.
Humphries, of our town, will offer for
{Solicitor General of this district at the
next election. We saw the colonel and
asked him about the matter, and he ad
mitted that he would be a candidate.
Col. Humphries is one of the most suc
cessful criminal lawyers in this judicial
district and will fill the place with honor
to himself and credit to the district* We
trust he will succeed, of which there is
▼eiy little doubt It Is learned that CoL
Peeples will not be a candidate again.
WILL HAKE NO CONTRACT.
Snpt. Dunham’Thmks That the Rule
Book is the Only Contract Neces-
ary tor a Railroad Man.
General Superintendent Dunham, of
the Plant System, has arrived in Savan
nah from the North, where he has been
conferring with the officers of the Sys
tem. When asked whether he would re
new the contract with the engineers, he
stated that the rule book was the only
contract necessary for a railroad man.
He says that he does not want to cut the
pay of the engineers cr reduce the force,
but has his own ideas of system and dis
cipline and expects to enforce them.
The Herald Forbids Further Contro
versy.
The W ay cross Herald protests against
any farther argument between the Al
bany Herald and the Valdosta Times on
the financial question. That both Mc
Intosh and Pendleton are stanch demo
crats no one doubts. They have stood
shoulder to shoulder in many a hard
fought battle for democratic principles
and democratic supremacy, and person
ally they are lifetime lriends. That
there is an honest difference of opinion
between them in regard to some little
political family matters everybody fully
understands, and we also understand
that the present controversy is doing no
good and making no converts for either
side of the question, but eventually it
may engender hard feelings, if not be
tween the gentlemen themselves, perhaps
between some of their friends. The ar
gument has been i ble on both sides; in
fact the subject Has been virtually ex
hausted, honors are easy, it is a drawn
battle and the controversy must close.
The silver question will be settled in
side the party and inside the state and
then we shall need unity of purpose and
concert of action. The eyes of the state
are upon us and there must be no more
Wrangling in wire grass Georgia; we
positively forbid it.
A Ware'County Boy.
Editor Herring, of the Tifton Gazette,
in a write-up of Sylvester, in that excel
lent paper, pays a very neat compliment
to Dr. Jeffords, one of our Ware county
boys, who is a sell-made man. We are
proud of Dr. T. C.:
“Dr. T. C. Jeffords is a scion, trans
planted from the soil of Ware, that has
naturally acclimated itself to the section
of its choice, and is thriving and pros
pering wonderfully, already having built
up an excellent medical practice, and lo
cating a handsomely equipped dental of
See. His good looks have not mated
him ofi yet, but this is partly accounted
for by his having such . close cometition

Beautify The Towns.
In many of the small towns of the
State that possess revenues scarcely suf
ficient to pay the Town Marshalls, pub
lic sentiment expects the Aldermen not
only to meet che expenses of govern
ment, but also to make various public
improvements. In such communities
the residents themselves should go to
work. To organize a village improve
ment society is, in most cases, a very
easy tack. We produce the following
article to show what has been accom
plished in a small Ohio town:
“The Wyoming (O.) Village Improve
ment Society was formed in 1880, at a
public meeting at which several spirited
addresses were made. The Mayor was
chosen president and a directory of four
men and four women were appointed.
This directory was divided into commit
tees on trees, sidewalks, sewerage, fi
nance, entertainments, concerts and lec
tures. Though the population of the
village was only 700, the society began
work with thoroughness and enthusi
asm. Nearly every man, woman and
child joined the association. The first
improvement undertaken was the en-
enlargement and adornment of the un
sightly grounds of the railroad station.
The society collected $1,200 by sub
scription, and the railroad company ad
ded $400. The result was the most at
tractive park on that line of railroad. In
1881 the society added to the park 200
trees and a number of flower beds, all
arranged by a competent landscape gar
dener. In the following year 770 trees
were planted along the streets. Tb$
number now growing is about 5,000.
During the first three years the society
raised, through suberiptions and enter
tainments, over $3,000. The member
ship fee for adults was three, dollars for
the first year, and two dollars annually
afterward; for children, one dollar or the
planting of one tree, under the direction
of the tree committee. The society has
secured an efficient street sprinkling ser
vice, and the property-holders have laid
miles of stone pavement. Public spir
ited citizens have given to the village a
commodious and well furnished hall, in
which is a fine library and reading room.
The Village Improvement Society has
been the prime mover of and leader in
all these enterprises, which have trans
formed an unsightly village into a ‘thing
of beauty’ that attracts people m search
of pleasant homes.”
Turner the Man.
The W*retboro Nimbus gets off the
following good one on us, and we sup
pose we must plead guilty, for it is true
that we do not believe there is a man so
capable of filling every office in the
land, from constable to president, as H.
G. Turner:
“Brother Perbam, of the Waycross
Herald, is one of the most conservative
editors of the state, but he is radical on
the subject of United States senator.
Some men are candidates for every office
to be filled, but Brother Perham is not
so. Yet he has a candidate for every
one that becomes vacant. They tell a
tale on him in Brooks county, his old
home, that on one occasion there was a
vacancy in the office of constable, and
he, as editor of the county paper, was
approached as to whom was the most
logical candidate, when, without think
ing, he proposed the name of Henry G.
Turner, and added: ‘I do not believe we
have a man who can fill the office better
or is more certain of being elected. ’ ”

. A Slight Change of Base.
Hon. O. B. Stevens, of Dawson, who
has been understood to be in favor of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver, at
the ratio of 16 to 1, now states his posi
tion in about this shape:
“I favor the remonitization of silver,
and of placing it upon an equlity with
gold, coined.at the proper ratio, and the
use of both as money of final redemp
tion. The American congress is the
only power known that is capable of de
termining the ratio between the two
metals. Such power is delegated to cong
ress by the constitution, and rests with
no other body. I am willing to leave it
where the wisdom of our fateers placed
it.”
Small Canneries Pay.
An enterprising young man of Pros
perity, S. C., named S. L. Fellers, in a
recent issue of the Charleston News and
Courier relates his experiences with small
canneries. He says:
“When the Prosperity Canning Com
pany started, I worked with it for two
seasons as capper and tipper. Becom
ing familiar with the business, I could
see no reason why the canning of fruits
and vegetables should cost so much.
Last season I concluded to try an exper
iment. 1 made an outfit myself, using
galvanized iron for the boiler. The
sides, ends and partitions 1 made of 2x
19 inch poplar, making the boiler 8 feet
long, 3 feet wide and 18 inches deep, in
three compartments—one for scalding
tomatoes, one for exhausting and one fir
processing. The crates and trays I made
of wood also, because it is so much
lighter than iron. I used a simple crane
for lifting the crates from the boiler.
I made the furnace for heating the irons
from sheet iron, somewhat larger than a
tinner’s furnace. The whole outfit cost
$10. I have built three similar outfits
this season. I am doing all that I can to
encourage the industry, as I am sure that
it will pay. Better gooda can be put up,
as more care is taken in these small can
neries. I put up 2,700 three-pound
cans of tomatoes last season, and sold
every can in Newberry county, and could
not supply tqe demand. The farm, I
think, is the proper place for the can
nery. The time for canning is gener
ally a leisure one with a fanner. He
can work up his surplus fruits and veg-
atables with his own help, not only giv
ing work to his laborers at a time when
nothing can be done on his farm, but
saving the produce would otherwise be
wasted, and making a profit for himself,
besides supplying his table with fruits
and vegetables during the winter and
early spring, when he would be unable
to obtain them from his garden and or
chard.
