UNION &RECORDER.
MlLLKDQKVIIiliK, MARUHlfi, 1887.
Travels in America by Foreigners.
We nro always pleased whenever
we see an account of n foreigner in
the United States. No matter how
much our Englishman, Herman, Aus
trian or Italian, or n subject of any
other kingly Government, may be
attached to his own country, its insti
tutions and exhibitions of royal splen
dor, he is obliged to see that Ameri
can’s are freer, and enjoy more real
and undisturbed liberty than the peo
ple he left behind him in those Euro
pean lands. While ho beheld the
stars nnd garters, the royal titles and
coronation splendors in those Europe
an countries, he saw the humiliating
spectacle of a people unprotected by
equal laws, operative, alike, upon ru
lers and people. He saw power at
home exerted to give authority to the
few and almost abjeet submission to
the many. He saw the few embla
zoned with all the gaudy trappings of
rank and wealth, and the many strug
gling with poverty, and the vast mul
titude scarcely able to secure the ne
cessaries of life. Hut above all, he
saw the blessings of liberty here, nnd
the wants, the dependence and con
comitants of tyranny there. Govern
ments, in Europe, were rapacious, in
solent and (vindictive, and the only
hope of the people consists in abject
submission to gaudy and vindictive
tyranny. France is, at this day, the
object of hatred by the arbitrary
rulers of other States because she has
adopted, in great part, the doctrines
of our revolutionary fathers, that the
people have a right to freedom and
equality, and the selection of their
rulers to enforce the principles and
enjoyment of every liberty consistent
with the maintenance of social order.
No doubt many, of these travelers
from Europe, are more or less influ
enced by what they see here and go
back imbued with the principles pre
vailing in our land. They speak of
them in their social circles, and grad
ually, spread the desire for Govern
ments in the old land like those exist
ing in the new. There is nothing, in
tlie range of political science, that
can justify the arbitrary institutions
in Europe. As to Russia it is a genu-
uine and hateful despotism, so revolt
ing that it is held to some extent in
abliorence even in other portions of
Europe. Alexander, it is true, hasen-
deavored, to some extent, to mitigate
the ftidal servitude existing in parts of
his immense possessions, but at the
same time, he is adding to his enor
mous armies; he is seeking to add tohis
commercial advantages, while at the
same time he is proscribing the arts
and means of improvement that can
be supposed in any way to create
sentiments calculated to enroach up
on tlie absolute purity of bis hallowed
despotism. In other words -while he
would obtain tlie greatest amount of
means to strengthen his government,
he would repel every sentiment of free
dom that could possibly find a lodgment
the hearts of his subjects. Such is
the case with nearly all U.e rulers of
Europe except in Fnmce. That
country is copying after the structure
and conditions of the United States.
We have penned these few thoughts
to show the vast superiority of the
doctrines of the political lathers of
our country. The United States is
the great exemplar of free institutions.
We lmve tlie civilization and intelli
gence to maintain them, and tlie men,
who would seek to overthrow them,
would deserve to be execrated by the
friends of liberty throughout the
world. It becomes us now to exercise
eternal vigilance to prevent the
spread of uunrehial principles among
our people. While the socialists are
not as dangerous as the anarchists,
the spread of their doctrines will lead
to anarchy jyul there is danger of
revolution growing out of a powerful
existence of either. Tlie friends, of
the liberty erected on this American
continent, must lock shields to guard
and protect it* us the last great hope
of freedom for tlie world.
We call the attention of our read
ers to the advertisement of the Mil-
lodgeviile Iron & Machinery Compa
ny in another place in tills paper.
Besides the manufacture of Wilson’s
Bpark Arrester, tlie demand for which
is brisk and increasing, this most use
ful institution does a variety of oth
er work which may be learned from
their advertisement and which will
prove to lie a great convenience to
the people of Baldwin and tlie sur
rounding counties.
Never in tlie history of tlie South
lias so much interest been manifested
in its development as just now. Not
onlyiare railroads being projected to
permeate every section, but foreign
capital is seeking investment in tlie
establishment of various industrial
enterprises. In view of these facts,
every wise community will neglect no
opportunity to advertise its advan
tages and encourage enterprises of
all clases.
Gov. David B. Hill, of New York,
in his great speech in New York citv
on the 22d ult., referred us follows to
our Grady and the South: “The New
South of which tlie eloquent Grady
recently spoke so grandly, is booming
witli activity nnd enterprise, nnd our
greaf metropolis is reaping thebeneftt
of an increased and increasing South
ern trade-in brief, tlie country lias
had no reason to regret the advent of
the Democratic party into power and
it cannot be denied that its administra
tion of public affairs has been highly
creditable, greatly advancing the pros
perity and -welfare of the xvliole peo
ple. - ’,'
Tlie March number of the South
ern Cultivator fully upholds the repu
tation it lias so meritoriously won,
while furnishing a large amount of use
ful nnd interesting information to its
readers. The Cultivator is tlie best
agricultural journal we ever knew of,
and while cultivating the good will
and interests of its patrons, we feel as
sured it will reap a good harvest of
well earned cash.
BUSINESS UNION MEETING.
The notice of the above meeting
which took place on Monday night of
Inst week, called out, we presume,
pretty much all the members of the
Union, besides quite a number of citi
zens who were not members of tlie
association. Mr. Adolph Joseph pre
sided with his customary ease and
tact und Mr B. T. Betliune was in his
right place as Secretary. Tlie oflicial
report of the meeting appeurs in an
other place in our columns, and gives
some idea of tlie earnest purpose of
the citizens present to proceed in
earnest to advertise tlie rare advan
tages possessed by Miliedgeville and
Baldwin county for a varied system
of manufacturing and other indus
tries, which could probably find no
place in the South better adapted
to their development and successful
prosecution. Tlie mere statement in
f irlut of the proceedings of the uieet-
ng would give but an imperfect
idea of the enthusiasm widen was
evoked by tlie addresses made by tlie
different speakers as they were called
to their feet by the successive and im
perative calls of the zealous citizens
of old Miliedgeville. Each had some
idea connected with the common weal
of the community which met with ar
dent acceptance by those to whom it
had not before occurred nnd when u
speaker would say that lie had a
practical enterprise in view, which
lie hoped soon to bring into actual ex
istence, as for example when Capt.
Ennis stated that lie had not only
thought seriously of n cotton com
press, but hoped to have one in prac
tical operation before a year should
elapse, the enthusiasm was both ar
dent and catching and rose to a pitch
that would require some pretty strong
language to describe. The inter
change of thoughts upon the one
great central object of pushing for
ward tlie interests of our old town*
brought out the fact that many were
earnestly thinking of these things
and revolving many schemes with
more or less promise of their being
carried into successful operation.
Capt. Conn suggested that concern
ing the various minor enterprises
which go to build up a community,
our citizens who mostly have tlie
greater portion of their capital al
ready invested in various ways, could
yet devote a little money to help to
start them into life, and a number of
persons each contributing a little,
would m&ke up a sufficient capital to
add to that of some one wiio under
stood the special business in question
and thus put them in successful oper
ation. The idea—an eminently wise
and practical one—was that combi
nation of purse and effort would put
u number of these industries on their
feet—so to speak—which would be
considered unworthy of serious
thought by any one who looked only
on his own individual ability in con
nection with the matter.
We cannot undertake to give even
a synopsis of the various speeches
which were made by Messrs. Lump
kin, Conn, Barrett, Ennis, McMillan,
Betliune, Win. It. Morris and A.
Joseph. Mr. Lumpkin, as usual,
seemed to be a leading spirit in
the meeting and read a paper con
taining a thoughtful and well con
sidered analysis and presentation
of wliut is practicable and best to be
done to forward the objects dear to
tlie hearts of tlie members of tlie
Union nnd of all our patriotic citizens.
Mr. Joseph, in conclusion, made some
excellent, practical remarks, suited
to the occasion and made our college
a prominent subject of comment. He
earnestly impressed upon his bearers
the necessity of providing the finan
cial means, needed for tile continued
existence and improvement of our
college. He held that it was the col
lege which had really brought the
valuable additions to our population
recently and had put some of our
enterprising citizens to work, build
ing houses to supply the demand for
residences needed by those who de
sired to avail themselves of our splen
did educational advantages. His
thoughts on this subject struck the
writer, and we presume others also, as
having much practical wisdom and
as being worthy of the most serious
consideration by all those who are
interested in the prosperity and fu
ture upbuilding of our city.
We close by giving our hearty com
mendation to the Business Union and
its progressive members, and we trust
that tlie patriotic objects they have in
view, will draw into their membership
all the useful and worthy citizens who
have as yet failed to join their ranks.

Messrs. Editors:
On Monday evening I went a few
miles into tlie country for tlie purpose
of repairing tin* steam plant of one of
Baldwin county’s real existing, live
manufactories. Of course it is but
miniature concern, compared with
those gigantic establishments, the
whir and clatter and buzz of whose
busy machines, nightly soothe to re
pose tiie weary brains of the commit
teemen on whom is imposed the task
of putting them in operation. But
being a real establishment of the
earth, earthy, and not an ideal or im
aginary one, repairs are occasionally
necessary, consequently a half day’s
hard work and a ride in tiie rain in
disposed me for attending tiie meet
ing of the Business Union, last Mon
day night; and having just read the
report of that meeting, as given by
the Chronicle, I wish to “reflect a lit
tle upon the situation.”
As Mr. Lumpkin remarked at that
meeting, “I am full and must be de
livered, full of enthusiasm, for the
prosperity of Miliedgeville, and of
Baldwin county, and wish to let off a
little of it, but, without any ‘gush.
And if I do not seem to take the same
Interest in the meetings of the Busi
ness Union, that others do, it is not
that I doubt tlie earnestness of its
members, but that I cannot be en
thused with its methods; they are too
slow, too much talkee, talkee, and
too little to show for it. I have little
sympathy with any organization
which puts creeds above deeds, faith
above works. For some two years
the Business Union lias been showing
its “faith,” in the future greatness of
Miliedgeville by frequent meetings,
when the expounding of its “creeds,”
by our best speakers, has entertained
apd instructed large audiences. But,
what of its works? The street corners
lettered and houses numbered, and I
believe three charters granted, for
something.
I do not mean to say this is ridicu
lous or child’s play, but it is certainly
humiliating. Would it not look more
like business, like work, to organize a
company, get the money subscribed
and paid in, and then apply for char
ter. To undertake enterprises like
these, make a big noise over them,
and ttien let them die, or rather never
bring them into existence at all, in
jures the town. Everybody is fully
settled in regard to one point, th%t is,
if Miliedgeville is to keep up in the
South’s grand march t* prosperity,
she must depend alone upon manu
facturing. Her mercantile interests
are only auxiliary aid, and will grow
only as her manufacturing expunds.
A few citizens of Miliedgeville, have
surplus capital. They say “well, con
vince us these investments will pay
and we will put in our money.” If
tlie same class of manufactures are
paying elsewhere, and we have tlie
facilities and tlie market, what
other evidence is necessary, or pos
sible? Nothing more can be done,
but to make the venture. One suc
cessful enterprise begets and fosters
others and I feel that every manufac
turing establishment, lie it ever so
modest, started here, would aid the
one 1 am now connected with, con
sequently I feel doubly interested in
our making a start in tlie direction of
building tip such manufactures as tlie
section is eminently suited for. But
they cannot be started oil wind. Eve
ry step in their development demands
money. As money-making is their
oulyobject,investments must be made
to build them and we must brush a-
way our visionary dreams and deal
with stubborn facts.
It is all very well in tlie Business
Union meetings to indulge in a little
flowery oratory to enthuse the more
sluggish or cautious, still in the main,
as business men we should deal only
with facts as they exist. Now it is a
mistake that Miliedgeville offers the
advantages of a Birmingham, an An-
nistan, or a Chattanooga. If it did
the present efforts of the Business
Union were superfluous, for capital
turns to such opportunities as the
needle to the pole. While it is a fact
that “Northern capital is seeking in
vestment in Southern cities,” as tilings
now exist, it will not turn to Miliedge
ville, nor other towns like her, until
all other fields are overworked. Let
Baldwin county open tlie canal, if
only by digging a ten foot ditch and
no doubt but some of this capital
Spoken of would drop into her lap,
but, Miliedgeville money must start
it, or all the talk in the world will
never attract a dollar from outside.
To get Miliedgeville fairly on a man
ufacturing boom, one half the neces
sary capital should lie, must be, rais
ed at home, then little effort would
be necessary to secure the balance
from outside. The plan proposed by
Mr. Solomon of Macon, ! think tiie
best I have ever heard of, and pecu
liarly adapted to our condition or
rather a modified plan, on the same
line. My efforts during the past few
niontli8, whether successful or not, I
think sufficient proof that I am not a
“croaker.” On the contrary I believe
every enterprise spoken of in Miliedge
ville could be accomplished if the
pocket book was not so closely sealed;
in other words, more money and less
talk, or as much talk as you please,
providing dollars come also. The
ones who shoulder these enterprises
without a good paid up bank account
to draw upon, and depend upon the
people to furnish tlie money when
the bills come due, will meet with
many disappointments. Unfortunate
ly men change their minds very sud
denly sometimes, and one who will
under a high state of enthusiasm at
tlie Union meeting, open a “pot” with
500 shares, when tlie enterprize is un
der weigli and assessments called to
pay maturing bills, will probably re
duce his subscription to a much more
modest amount. Then, other sub
scribers for this stock must he found,
and sleepless nights is the result.
it is true us remarked at that meet
ing that the Iron and Machinery Go’s,
stock is all taken, but how? By one
man standing to the rack with nerve,
and money to casli the shares of those
subscribers who dropped out entirely,
or lowered the amounts of their sub
scriptions. But for him it would have
been a failure and so it will be with
every enterprise that starts without a
good assessment living paid in on eve
ry share, before a blow is struca, or
it is fortunate enough to have one
like him among its stockholders to
push it through. But tlie present
outlook is very promising that the
*toek he was forced to take will re
turn handsome profits in a very few
months.
Not a word of this is written in a
fault-finding spirit, but that the peo
ple may realize the difficulties in the
way and then surmount them and get
the" Boom in motion ; and when once
fairly started there will be no trouble
in steadily advancing it. It is n great
pity that all tlie citizens of Miliedge
ville who have means to help build
her up and the willingness to invest,
could not read for three consecutive
months some of the papers devoted
to the growing industries of the
South.
They would then realize how much
we are losing by our procrastination.
If we start with other towns, it will be
easy to keep up in the race. But if
we start ten years behind we will
soon be fifty, or a little dried up one-
horse town living on regrets of “what
might have been.”
Now I will give a plan to start the
Boom in Miliedgeville, which I have
been thinking over for several weeks.
It is easier for most men to pay an
amount of money in installments than
to pay all at one time; therefore I
suggest the organization of a compa
ny or society or association to be call
ed the Miliedgeville Improvement
Co., or tiie M-ville Manufacturers’ As
sociation or the Baldwin Co., “Boom
ers” (be sure there is no typographi
cal error in tlie last word) comprising
everybody in this vicinity who can
spare from one to ten dollars per
month, or from fifty cents a month
up, but iet them pay regularly every
month the amounts subscribed, or
forfeit previous payments. Say 250
subscribers could be secured at an
average of $2 each per month, that
would bring in $500 per month, or
$D,000 at the end of six months. At
the expiration of the six months ad
vertise in the proper paper that the
Association would furnish one-half
the capital in cash to start a hub,
spoke; and handle factory, or any
other kind of a’ manufactory that
might be deemed best; there would be
50 replies to furnish the plant against
the capital to operate it within a
week. Then, on Mr. Soloman’s plan,
if the parties operating it wished to
buy out tlie shares held by the Asso
ciation, let them do so, and with the
proceeds start another.
If 250 subscribers, or $500 per mftntli
could be raised for five years, Mil
iedgeville would have a score of suc
cessful manufactories, 2-5,000 popula
tion, and the subscribers to the Asso
ciation stock, which had accomplished
it all, would not only have saved these
small amounts, which otherwise would
probably have been Rpent, but they
would receive a good dividend on tlie
investment.
The fact is there are no Astors nor
Pullmans to build up tlie town.Jthere-
foro we must combine, unite our dimes
and utilize the strength of our num

And in fact, everything kept by a First-Class Grocer. My trade
