fhe bill before congress to relieve alcohol
jtured (rendered unfit for beverage, by mixe
fwith suitable denaturing material) is at
ting considerable attention. Mr. Payne, of
committee, says: .
I“The bulk of free denatured alcohol in
many is used for the purpose of light, fuel
" heat. A lamp is now made witha Wels
h mantle mantie, which produces a very
ng, steady, and high-grade light by the use
lcohol. Experiments have been made test
this lamp with the most improved pattern
jßeae lamps with round wicks and equal
?" power; it was found that a gallon of
hol would keep the alcohol lamp buraing
je as many hours as would a gallon of kero
g burning in the most approved pattern of
psene lamp whick is in general use. In oth
jords, one gallon of alcohol is equal to two
pns of kerosene for lighting purposes.
ice, it follows if the price of alcchol methy

luse, especially on the farms and in the vil

' “During the past few months experiments

jugh there they generally mix' 25 per cent of

INTERESTING SITUATION :
OVER IN TERRELL COUNT Y~
Moultrie Daily Observer
The political opponents of Hon. Clark How- \
ell over in Terrell county insist on rubbingitio.
Terrell is the home of Congressman Griggs, a ‘
close personal friend and warm political sup
porter of Howell’s, Itis also the home of Hon.
Obe Stephens, former commissioner of agricul
ture and present member of the railroad com
mission, the leading political genius of the Ter
rell administration, sometimes referred to as
the “political ring.” It is futhermore the home
of Hon. M. J. Yeomans,a son-in-law of Commis=
sioner Stevens, chairman of the state Democrat
~ ic executive committes. It is also the home of
" Hon E. L. Rainey, editor of the Dawson News
and representative in the legislature, who is a
supporter of Mr. Howell. With this array of
prominent supporters, all in one county,
it was to be expeeted that Mr. Howell would
take off Terrell, especially as Terrellis a very
small county. ;
But somehow Hoke Smith got the bulge on
them. His friends controlled the county mass
meeting and named 2 new county executive
committee. His opponents declared it was un
fairly done and a second mass meeting was
held. This, tco, wase etormed and a solid Hoke
Smith committee was elected.
The state Democratic committee having
passed certain resolutions that put strictures
on the coming orimary, the chairman of that
committee is now pu. ‘1 the very embarrassiog
' situation of having bis home cctaty committce
hold a meeting and denounce the action of the
state committee.
From this distance it would seem that the
Hoke Smith people have the county in a swing
and will probably send delegates to the next
.+ state convention. It remains to be seen, if this
shall be the case, whether Mr. Yeomans will be
a member of the stateiconvention or not. It is
hardly likely that he will, as by the action of his
own committee, he has placed it in the power of
the candidate for governorscarrying a county to
name the representatives to the convention,
Mr. Smith would hardly name aclose friend to
Mr. Howell.
N RO 4 Bl
: The Railroad’s Big Stick,
In “The Way of a Railroad with a Towa’
in the June McClure's, Mr. Stannard Baker
shows how a common carrier holds up an entire
section of a country and says whether this in
_dustry or that shall prosper, or whether this
class or the other shall be utterly driven out of
busioess. Mr. Baker spent a long time study
ing his material for this article in Danville, Vir
ginia, which is tapped by only one railread, the
Southern, and which on this account is quite at
the mercy of the rate-makers. A comparison
is forcefully drawn betweesn the conitions here
and those in the city of Lynchburg, sixty-six
miles away, which has plenty of railroad compee
tition. Mr. Baker states facts which unless
backed by statistics might well arouse incred
ulity. For instance, fertilizer is shipped from
Chicago to Danville at $5.80 a tos, whereas if it
went sixty-six miles futher to Lynchburg, the
rate would be only $4.46. Horses shipped from
{he West can be delivered at Richmond, 141
miles futher, at so much less {reight that Dan
- ville shippers have been known to book their
" stock all the way through and then remove’it by
stealth from the cars as they stood in the Dan
-1 ville freight yard. The tragedy of all this lies,
in the fact that Danville has contributed bund
reds of thousands of dollarsto railrod compa~
nies for competition and is still paying interest
on a part of this money. Mr, Baker tells how
the tobacco-growers are fairly abie %0 strugle
along while certain favored exporters are givea
rates which are like finding money. The story
of the contest between the railrcad and the anti
railroad parties in the town is of absorbing in
terest. Everyone who wants to urderstand the
Big Stick powers of the railroad should read this
sane and forcible article, :

WATCH THIEF.
In the last issue of the Enterprise, we had
something to say about umbrella thieves.
While the paper was being printed a watch
thief swooped down on us and robbed us ofa
splendid gold watch. He lifted it from the
pocket of our vest banging in the office. Of
course, we do not advocate hamging for the
watch thief, but we weuld like t‘tfi privilege of
kicking him until he coughs up our timepiece.
It was a heavy gold watch with the representa
tion of a loccomotive in bold relief on the back
lid. The front lid is decorated with a vine, the
leaves of which are vari-colored, different shades
of gold. We will pay a liberal reward for any
information that may lead to the recovery of
the property.
