After Three Years’ Absence.
Mr. Editor:—We desire to present
your readers with a short account of
our recent visit to Xewnan. Having
been absent from the city for three
years, the changes that had taken place
in the meantime were very perceptible.
The improvements that have been
brought about are many and durable.
We noticed that several wooden build
ings on the public square, that had been
eyesores for years to observers, have
been supplanted by substantial brick
structures, the most noticeable of which
is the magnificent building owned by
R. D. Cole, Sr. It it neatly constructed
and an ornament to the city. Hard by
is another owned by Col. J. B. Willeox-
on, which also presents a commanding
appearance. We also noticed that the
wooden building which formerly stood
at Burpee’s corner has been replaced by
one of brick. Besides the above men
tioned business houses, we observed a
number of new residences, some of
which have been erected, and some re
modeled and made very attractive.
Every street gives evidence of new life
and energy. Xewnan is steadily and
surely assuming the proportions of a
city. Her citizens being alive to the im
portance of the fact that varied indus
tries contribute to her growth and pros
perity, are investing their means in
manufacturing interests.
The enterprise of the R. D. Cole
Manufacturing Company is too well
known to require a notice in this com
munication. The indefatigable head
of this firm, R. D. Cole, Sr., has accom
plished wonders for Xewnan. From a
small beginning he has, by push and
energy, established one of the largest
manufacturing enterprises and best
paying businesses in the whole State.
He has left his impress upon everything \
that has tended to build up and beauti
fy the city.
The cotton seed oil mill and the gu- j
ano factory are of comparatively recent j
establishments. They have resulted in
vast benefit to the community and are
profitable investment. The most re
cent enterprise is the huge cotton fac
tory, to be erected and equipped at a
cost of nearly one hundred thousand
d'. liars by the citizens of Xewnan and
vicinity. The building is about ready
for the machinery. It is a commodious
brick building, two stories high, with a
capacity of five thousand spindles and
one hundred and forty looms. It is 225
feet long und 50 feet wide. The ma
chinery will be moved by a 200-horse
power engine. The contractors have
used great skill in its construction, for
it is a model of strength. The best bus
iness men of the city are its directors
and its success is already assured.
The building up of manufactories is.
certainly a move in the light direction.
We would greatly rejoice if there were
more in our Southern land. We have
the raw material and a wholesome cli
mate, and can certainly manufacture
as cheaply as any other section of the
Union. The government has fostered
manufacturing interests by a high pro
tective tariff until the Middle and Xew
England States have grown immensely
rich. If there is any profit in protection
let the South avail herself of it. There
is no reason why Georgia should not, in
a few years, be as rich or richer than
any other State. And there is another
advantage to be considered. The con-
tributers to these manufacturing enter
prises are bound together by a common
tie: they will work together for the
success of the undertaking, and by their
united efforts will demonstrate that in
union there is strength.
But Xewnan’s crowning glory is her
public schools. They have been in oj>-
eration one year and are working ad
mirably. Xot having suitable buildings,
the board of education rented College
Temple buildings until a suitable one
could be procured. The city has assess
ed a tax to erect such as are needed.
There is now in progress of erection a
commodious brick structure, which is
eminently fitted for the purposes of the
school, and will be ready for occupancy
early next year. The board will exer
cise care in procuring suitable appli
ances, etc., in order that the best inter
ests of both teacher and pupil may be
subserved. We had the pleasure of vis
iting the ppblic school while in Xew
nan, and are indebted to l’rof. Ford,
superintendent, for courtesies shown.
We found him a scholarly and affable
gentleman, whom we believe to be fully
competent for the important office com
mitted to him. We also return thanks
to Prof. Pendergrast, the principal
teacher, and our former associate in
the school-room, for the interest he
took in making our visit pleasant. We
visited each department and were forci
bly impressed with "the skill of tin-
teachers. The school is well conducted,
each teacher taking great interest in
promoting the best interest of tin 1 pu
pils. Besides the two male teachers,
there are six lady teachers, who are un
tiring in their energies and efforts, and
seem to have the entire confidence of
their pupils—which is the great secret
of success in teaching. To say that we
were well pleased with the manner in
which the various departments were
conducted is to express it very tame
ly.
Xewnan should be proud of her ac
tion in this matter. Let her rally with
redoubled energy to the support of this
noble enterprise and hold up the hands
of these self-sacrificing teachers. Let
all opposition to and all prejudice
against the system cease and a new era
will dawn upon her. In a few years af
ter it will cease to be an experiment,
and she will lookback upon it with hon
or and not regret. W. T. Freeman.

A Red Fox Hunt.
Tt was a beautiful day in Xovember,
1888—such a day as makes the lover of
the chase, “love his neighbor as him
self’—neither too cold nor too hot,
neither too wet nor too dry. After
breakfast, the sun being up, horn ans
wers horn, the dogs-expressing delight
in howling, knowing this meant their
picnic. Anon the hunters met and
rode leisurely to the hunting grounds,
discussing the prospect of a “jump,”
the dogs following close behind until
the fields were reached. Then they
scattered everywhere. Hush !—there’s
“Aleck,” “Toombs,” “Burns,”
“Queen,” the two “Vicks,” “Vee,”
“Flight” and Fleet,” and off they go
like the wind, a “run over,” for the dogs
are as wild as autumn hares. “Toombs”
gives tongue, true and earnest, and in a
moment she is joined by the rest. This
is a mere prelude, or “tuning up”
process It is a good trail, and into the
swamp they go. The music is grand. Men
and horses are eagerly expecting a mad
dash round and through the swamp a
time or two. There is great commo
tion in the swamp. Out rushes the fox
in plain view, the dogs right on his
heels. Through swamp and field for a
half mile or more. Over the fence the
dogs leap in on» straight line, hunters
spurring every jump. For five miles,
tnrough an open, level country, there
was the fastest and smoothest running
ever done by any dogs since creation’s
dawn. Xeck and neck they flew as if
racing for the moon. To make the
scene more charming, a“gang of crows,”
some twenty or more, joined in the
chase, drowning the music ‘ l the dogs;
but they were “distanced,” and gave
up pursuit in disgust—hunters far be
hind, but northward still they spurred.
They soon heard the dogs as if coming
towards them. But, no; they were
“tacking” in a large, dense swamp-
round and through for a dozen times or
more. This gives the hunters time to
“catch up,” who are joined by fifteen
men, boys and negroes—all afoot, hats
off and just “sweating” with excite
ment. The fox was taking a “breath
ing spell.” Such music by dogs was
never heard before. The fox makes a
break for the fields. The dogs press on
like a storm. There is a short turn and
“run over,” and the dogs ore scurrying
everywhere with the speed of a cy
clone. “Vick” tells where reynard
went, and is off like day breaking o’er
the hills. The other dogs swing into
line as a gate on hinges. With eager
haste they scale the fence, making mu
sic sweet and grftrul. Neck and neck
they rush, each striving for the lead,
the fox some fifty yards ahead. The
boys go wild with delight. Fences, gul
lies, briars, etc., are mere straws iu their
path. Another short turn and “run
over;” dogs wild and eager for pursuit.
“Aleck” strikes the trail some hundred
yards away. The other dogs catch the
sound and soon “close up.” Shoulder
to shoulder they pass. Reynard is put
to his writs’ end, for speed will not avail.
Into the swamp he springs, the dogs al
most on his heels. Round and round
they go—back and forth Cross over
and back again, they sweep round once
more. The scene is thrilling, the music
charming. limiters go wild with excite
ment; yell follows yell. The hills echo
back the yells. Still round and round
they go, the fox still harder pressed.
The men and boys are past all control,
ami are i umiingand yelling every where.
The fox leaves the swamp and makes
one (icsM-rate run for life. Over the
railroad he goes just in front of a long,
slow-ni'-ving freight train. The dogs
are confused and afraid to venture.
Slowly tin* old freight moved, puffing
and blowing. The dogs are scared
nearly to death. Odo of the boys re
marks, “the race is busted.” Xo, there’s,
“Toombs,” bless her true heart. “Yrick”
farther on; “Aleck” still farther.
“Burns” swept around the circle and
his deep haying is close up to the fox.
The other dogs, with the speed of the
wind, are soon in line. The fox makes
off io parts unknown. The dogs tty over
field and forest ’till they are scarcely
heard. “He is coming back, boys; be
still, every one of you,” was the com
mand. Anon here conies the fox,
tongue out, tail dragging; the dogs pass
in grand style. tStill neck and neck,
into the swamp they spring, the dogs
some ten feet behind. The foot bri
gade lias come to the front again—coat
less, hats off, tongues out. Back and
forth, up and down, for some five min
utes or more, the fox and dogs are all
mixed up together. All gone wild
again—yell follows yell. Pandemoni
um reigns. Speed and cunning will not
avail. The dogs press on with all the
fury of the storm. The dogs are “clos
ing closer up.” Out of the swamp they
come. A short run and poor reynard
gives up the ghost, for blood will tell.
We send up one mighty shout that
rends the very hills, for this very fox
was the mightiest that roamed the
fields. For two hours lie led the fleet
est pack that ever gave chase. These
dogs are the “bluest blood” in Ameri
ca, having been bred with strictest
care until they are perfection.
