In these times of -business depres
sion and Industrial paralysis; when fac
tories are closing their doors and capi
tal hoarding Its wealth. It is an en
couraging and hopeful sign of the
times to see here and -there some busi
ness enterprise which has flourished la
spite of depression and financial stag
nation. Suoh an Insututkm, helpful in
«a prosperity and beneficial in the dls-
intiutton of Its product throughout tho
entire South. Is the Acme Brewing
Company, .the subject of this article
and of the illustration which is Intend
ed to give the reader some Idea of the
magnitude of thia plant and the scope
of its operations.
Situated In tne southwestern portion
... 8 cl<y ' centre of a network of
railway tracks, the clatter and bustle
or its gigantic machines keep up an
accompaniment to the rattle of tho
rail and the hurry of the switch en-
blnes, delivering and handling cars in
tended for Ms use for export to distant
Points. Everywhere shout the yards
■ . in the brewery, from the lowest
and coldest vault to the great line of
condensing coifs, four stories above,
activity and approved business meth
ods are noUceahle, and order and sys
tem are busy working out the great
problem of industrial success. Each
??» r "»w and approved machinery Is
added to that already In' position, and
month by month additional ibaor finds
emp.oyment, umll 'the Acme Brewery

trlbitiahle largely to the quality and
general excellence of Its productions,

THE BACHELOR VINDICATED.
By Kit Warren.
This Is more particularly truo of brew
eries, for no methods of manufacture
have been more rapidly improved.
Again, among the old-established
breweries -there has been and now ex
ists a furious rivalry as to which shall
exceed, the other in their annual pro
duction, and this Is true to such an
extent that to Increase or hold busi
ness the older breweries are constantly
reaching out Mvio new territory, re
gardless of -the fact that in so doing
they are forced at times -to put out a
beer which Is not' sufficiently aged or
"ripened,’’ and which Is centalnly In
jurious to the consumer. The success
which 'the Acme Company hasmade
wherever their products have sold is
evidence that such a state of things
are no longer to be tolerated and that
the public is beginning to appreciate
and value that beer -which Is purest
and best.
The value of the Acme Brewing
Company’s establishment to this Im
mediate section la almost Impossible to
estimate, as the number of Its em
ployes runs well up Into the ■ hundreds,
and tho monthly and weel^ly - payroll
to employes amounts to thousands of
dollars, all of which Is distributed each
day nd’week amongst other business
establishments. In rents -to the owners
of real estate, and In fact, through
each of the groan arteries of business.
Not only does this "home Institution”
through Its disbursements act directly
upon the city’s commerce, but It Is
reaching out 1n distant territory which
broadens constantly, and Is drawing
from each branch some • portion of
wealth from the outside, which Is put
Into general home circulation in this
section and state.
This fact alone should obtain for the
Acme Company a cordial recognition
and substantial patronsuge from our
am people, but they do. not rest their
csuie here, but welcome compsrtam
and crtlloism with any breads • of
dratsghr. or export beer .wherever pro
duced, and confidently assert that their
beers cannot be surpassed by those
ininrufsoiured elsewhere, and In their
high grade products they yield the
honors to none. In the Acme Brewing
Company Macon has an industry of
which she is Justly proud.

COON SKINS AND HAnD CIDER.
Tho Greet Whig Meeting In the Year ot
ISP) In Keeton, Md. -
From the Easton (Md.) Gazette.
The great Whig meetlni of 18», during
the campaign at log cabins, coon skins
ond hard cider, was an epoch hi tho His
tory of Easton. It was held on the
grounds of which. Spring Hill cemetery
now foims a part, this, with adjoining
land, comprising quite a Held. Large
shade trees rivere taken from the woods
and planted out over the griunds in
great numbers, invitations were extended
to moot of the leading Wnlg orutora and
statesmen of the day. Clay Had a special
committee to watt on him in Washington
and Insist upon his attendance,- The old
chieftain told tho committee that his
public dutl« might prevent his attend
ance In person, hut if he dkl hot come
he would send In tils place "a man who
could beat Uiu world upon the stump"—
Old Crtt of Kentucky, and him he did
send. Our people were charmed with tho
homely-looklng and plainly dressed old
Kcmuckkin, and roused to the highest
enthusiasm by-his burning words of elo
quence and power. One of the most
sumptuous dinners ever seen on such an
occasion was prepared, to which tho old
Kentuckian was invited; but after his
speech he went up and surveyed tho din
ner table, spread with all the Eastern
Shore luxuries. He looked nt it some
time In alienee, nnd then sold: ”f hove
never seen anything like this, even in
old Kentuek-lhe land of barbecues and
slump-speaker*. Th* people, too, look
like my people. I must dine right nercl”
Graves of Kentucky was present and
spoke at the meeting; Reverdy Johnson
and Georao It. Richardson, and many
others. '1 tic enthusiaom was kept up un
til late ut night. Nine steamboats from
tla.tlmore and elsewhere aided In bring
ing the multitude. Tne fine cool spring
in the meadow adjoining supplied water
tor the thousands. In the evenjng the
speakers’ stand broke down while Mr.
Graves was speaking. The numbers pres
ent were variously estimated at between
Ikon and 20.0W. The Whig evil an Che
over the country that year Is well known,
nail resulted In the election of Gen. Har
rison as president.
Everybody feels
better from
Brown’s Iron
Bitters.
Tho following: [humorous poem was
written -by Mr. Kit Warren several
years ibefore ihi$ death. Tho mami
script was sent to tho Telegraph, but
was lost, and long ago forgotten, until
yesterday, when, at was discovered
among some old papers which had
been filed for safe-keeping:. Mr. War
ren has been dead several years, but
there are many readers of the Tele
graph who will recall -with pleasure
his contributions to 'the press of the
state.
As an old bachelor, perhaps tho tol
lowing linos may truly depict somo
period In his. own eccentric career:
I've seen a t;ood many scenes
Since 1 was a wee-bit brat,
For now I'm a bachelor In my teens^
And a good many teens at that.
Tho back grown over with iribss,
In place of the cheek's lost down,
Is the bearer of many a heavy crosat
The wearer of ne'er a crown.
A sinner without a sin;
A culprit without a crime,
On creation's face he’s a standing grin
Throughout tils allotted time.
No" lawyer to plead his case,
No poet to sing his woes,
He catches the devil in life's brief race
And is caught by him at Sts close.
It Is thus at the pnsent time;
It was thus In ages past.
And If 'tls'nt allay-*d by Uhls lay of mlno
It will so id the last.
Then O, ye Sicilian Muse!—
Not stop! That never will do;
The nine are “all girls,*’ and all girls refuse
To help out the bachelor crew •
Then I the poem wil* make;,
And I’ll be myself my muse;
And JusUce I'll shake Ull she’s wide awake
‘From her Rip Van Winkle snooze.
Why may not I bo a muse
And chant with u muse's vim,
Since even tho very clergymen choose
xo call a poem a “him"?
A muso hod ought to amuse;
Ami why can't a man do this?
Especially slncd tho Fates refuse
To have ft done by a miss.
Up from a sleep to a kiss,
A note of hand to a writ—
I'm stire that anything dodo by a miss
Wero better done by a hit.
So I will the tale unfold
Of the bach’lor'e misery;
And I'll tell it best when i have it told
In what has happened to me.
I have mooed the widow and mi«s,
And everything else but man.
And recoived Instead of connubial bliss
The unoonnublal ban.
My first was rosy and fair.
And she had on eye of glee;
In fact, she’d two-hod a twinkling pair,
£ut she would not fair with me.
My love, so tender and dear.
Flowed forth like a runic rhyme
As I told her I’d do ss much for her
If she’d marry me this Urns.
She spoke but a single word.
And single It made me stay.
And the word she spoke and the word
I heard /
Was a “nay.” I «Udn't say “nrfgb.”
I begged with a deep-drawn sigh:
“Please marry me. Just this once,”
To which the made the laconic reply
You're an everlasting dunce.”
Did I ssll out on a swell
And get myself ”ln a fix,”
And deafen the sir with many a yell?
Nix. nix; an emphatic nix.
I drtnk no drink of the grog;
I took no spell of the mop?#.
Nor rang * the song of the howling dog
That mourns o’er his bone-lost Hopes.
To ne’er love a second lovo
le u. theme the poets dwell on; 1
But why not bo fond of a second dove
As well uu a second melon?
Suppose a euppoeement thus,
A friend says: “Cut you a slice;
There Is more than'enough for all of U*
And the melon’s ever so nice."
Would you elt there like a dunce,
And answer with deep lieart-paln:
“Oh, no; i have Joved a dear melon onc«v
And ain never lo\f<i one again"?
Well, I didn't grieve at my loss,
But I hunted another maid,
Just like I'd have hunted another “host/*
When I failed ut one "hoss” trade.
My next wan a dainty dot, „
A homeopathia grace; .
A bright and beautiful little spot /*
On society’s fair race.
But she mado up well In tongue
All that wan lacking In size.
And nho flattered tho unsuspecting young
With a thousand) perfumed—libs.
Yea, she was a bora coquette; u .
'Twa» her native, cradle ntyle,
For e'en In her Infant dreams, the pet' ■
Was uccustomod to kick and smile.
. A
Ah! didn’t she lead me % dance,
While I'd tho fiddler to pay?
And didn't slio play at the game of chute*
In her own sweet, beautiful way;*
<*dlKi
After I'd wasted iny sp-nls.
After I’d squandered »«y time.
After I had worn out my Sunday duds; j
Which cost rne many a dlm/>— I
Yes, after all thin and more.
Too much and too sad to tell— ' ,
From the Raman's height I had held before
With an Adam’s fall 1 fell.
My genius of woes and harms,
My'goddcas of misery,
Tho angel she’d played with her glided
charms,
And the dovll she'd played with me.
My next was buxom and bright,
Fat, corpulent, plump and round.
And she had assets In her own sweet right
Worth about six thousand pound.
Of course I courted apace.
And, Ideas you! she courted back.
Then I stormed the muzZle of her vweet
With a loud, cork-popping smack. 4
*I
How I dazzled my big, squint eyes;
How I squoze her saucy hand!
How I "told her tfho fav’rd the sunlit sk'esl
How I thought’ of her “skads" and landl
Oh, that was my honey-moon;
But moons aro Obliged to wane.
And mine, which went down so sad uf
bo soon.
Must never come op again.
Guardian forbade—O, the rack!
Then she broke It off with tears,
Ami I felt like the chop In the almanac
That’s goaded with keen-edged spears.
My next-No, I’d be a dolt
Were I further to itemlz*
Por the rest are scraps from the sams
old bolt
And about the same old size. m ,J
Condemn the Iamb that It lies \
Encaged in the llon’s lolr;
Condemn the rose that U withers and dug
In the cold autumnal air;
For the rose has hod Its bloom.
And the lamb has hud Its play,
But the bachelor's doom Is only gloom
That never can clear away— |
Condemn the lamb and the rose, \
They’re victims of but one death;
But spare, O spare, the old fellow whose
woe#
Keep step tn th* tap of each breath.
