m: BFFBCT OF WU*(H*l-
Tlii'*i iLikmtk uiik'>) \mUcui thun
tliut contained in the assertion, “com
j.ctltlon is the Itfe of trade." The
press and the people should oppose
and ci'uidt naroquolies of every kind.
The "name' spirit which hue robbed
the general Government of immense
territories to enrich speculators is
rife in the cities Of each common
wealth. Wo city has suffered more, or
more tmpfftrly submitted to this un
just arrangement, whereby tho ave
nues built by'bii r city princi pul Iy, ure
shut out from us, than has Columbus.
We say “shut out,” because tho pres
ent monopolies tend to drive capital
away from us, and- to' weaken the
profits of our merchants owing to
high freight tariffs. Tho same thing
forces the consumer to pay that much
more for articles of prime necessity.
Now, it is necessary for our mer
chants to put a stop to this by con
certed action, when tho people gen
erally, we are convinced, will uid
them. If something is not done, the
depreciation of real estate will ulti
mately cost more than an immediate
contribution to check this threaten
ed evil before our city becomes a mere
way station.
Reflect upon the prosperous cities
in Georgia. Augusta did not suffer
by the war, while we lost many mil
lions by Wilson’s raid. Rut Atlanta
was practically obliterated. Roth are
more prosperous than ever before.
Ho is Macon. The whole secret of
the matter is, that they are on the
trunk lines of railroads, while Colum
bus and ltomo are not. Yet this fact
did not have tho sumo effect before
the war as since the war. There is
no getting around tho issue, and
there is but one way to confront and
defeat it, and that is to further every
scheme for furnishing new outlets.
Columbus appropriated ft 50,000 to
wards the Muscogee Railroad; $350,-
0 >0 towards building tho Mobile &
Girard Railroad; SIOO,OOO towards
building the Memphis & Huvannuli
Railroad; and these large sums benefit
other places more than they do Colum
bus. The city was located at the head
of navigation of tho Chattahoochee
liefore the days of railroads, and rap
idly grow in population mid riches
until railroads wore built. It is a
narrow-minded prejudice to say that
railroads are injurious in themselves.
Brunswick is a better harbor than
New York, but New York is not mov
ed to Brunswick. If the people of
Norfolk had possessed tho same en
ergy us did those of New lork, Nor
folk would have been the American
metropolis. If the people of Colum
bus lmd determined to make every
new center think that our town was
bound to be a big city, and Atlanta
a way stntion, Atlanta would have
bail much more competition. The
Atlanta cotton factory has been built
in great part by contributions of
small sums from poor men. The city
could not afford to be without a cot
ton factory. A city lms either to ret
rograde or advance, and people will
not uome to a place that is retrograd
ing. Population is capital. Now we
have allowed the Central Railroad to
grasp our railway facilities and hold
us down by high freight tariffs. Wo
have allowed one corporation to seize
our river transportation, that Nature
gave us as a cheap bullet, uml to tax
us in tho same way there.
The establishment of a college here
seemed as itnpraetieable ns that of a
(Kitton factory in Atlanta. It is estab
lished. Before tho iirst of January,
1873, at which time the Southern and
Atlantic Line was established here,
the telegraphic rates wore ns follows
for ten words from Columbus to tho
points named below;

The new National Telegraph Com
pany propose extending their lines
throughout tho United States and
Canada, and inteud to have a lino to
New York. e<vnph>ted and workiug by
next spring. 'Their rates for commer
cial business will l*e ns follows; Ten
words, New York to Philadelphia, 10
cents; New York to Chicago, 50 cents.
General rates will be us follows:
Vrithlh are miles, 10 words, 25 cents;
250 to 501' lpUes„ 50 cents; 500 to 1,000
miles, 75 cents; over 1,000 miles sl.
They will also have a tariff of second
class rates as follows: Within 250
miles, 10 cents; within 500 miles, 15
cents; all over 1,000 miles, 40 cents.
At present tho several lines ohorge
relatively ns follows: Prom New
York to Philadelphia, for ten words,
*ieit. The new line will only
charge 10 cents for ten words be
tween those two cities, and t lie rate
between all other points will be cor
respondingly reduced. This will
prove what competition in telegraphy
lias done for the people.
Round trip tickets to Now York
from Columbus by the KonneSaw
Route cost S7O; by the Atlantic and
Const-Line, ssl; which explains what
competition has effected for render
ing chcai>cr passenger traffic on rail
roads.
Now, we want the same thing effect
ed In the matter of freight transpor
tation; and if our people will toko
hold Of the matter as a unit, wo will
have it.
In this connection, It is pardonable
for us to allude to the Times, in order
to Illustrate how competition has re
duced the price of subscription and
advertising rates. We claim that
general advertisements have been
reduced from 30 to 50 per cent, by the
establishment of the Daily and
Weekly Times, and local advertise
merits have boon reduoed one-half.
Column advertisements, by the year,
In Doceuibor lust were priced at SOOO.
Since the Ist Januury, 1875, when the
Xmii:* was started,- this rate lms been
reduced to S4OO. Subscriptions to
the nail,/ Empdrer, furnishing seven
copies per week, were to bo priced at
sl2 per annum. By our oomjictition
the old rate of $s has been main
tained; and wo think we can fairly
say tl)at. tho people have two good
pajiers, instead of one only. We
promise them, however, to make tho
Times twice us good us it now is, if
the public patronage will allow ns to
do so; hut we will have to he gov
erned entirely by that.
“A productive water meadow Is
probably the true mark of perfection
in the management of a farm.”—Afid
<l laser Report.
Wo give below a contribution to the
Enquirer of this city, witli our com
ments thereon. We thunk our friend
“J. T. G.” for his kind allusion to us,
and will only add that we are loth to
adviso our poor furmers to undertake
any now experiments without fully
warning them of the cost beforehand.
Wo prefer, in estimating this pre
liminary cost,, to err on the Btife side.
In this connection we would suggest
thut a water meadow like that of "J.
T. G.” sowed down immediately in
orchard grass, red top, and red clover
would yield him a hay crop uext
year, if his cheap dam don'l break next
winter, doublo in value to tho corn
crop raised this year.
An Experiment In Irriicutlon.
Muscooek Cos., Ga., Aug. 20, 1875.
Editor Enquirer-Sun: Home eight or
nine weeks since, I read an article io
the Times of your city, on the subject
of Irrigation, which I thought at the
time wuh calculated to work injuri
ously to the farming interests, by the
excessive cost of preparing land be
fore applying water. Mr. Fontaine,
tin; editor of the Times, I know to be
a well-known contributor to the agri
cultural literature of the day, and a
gentleman that would not make a
wrong impression upon any subject
if lie knew it. He stated in his ar
ticle, thut before Irrigating land, it
must lie well under-drained and thor
oughly sub-soiled; to do this it will
cost, “thirty dollars per acre,” a sum
too great for our depleted purses ut
this time.
I believe, and have for several
years, that on a small scale irrigation
was not only practicable on the water
courses of our county, but could lie
successfully applied at a cheap rate.
About the time that Mr. Fontaine’s
article appeared in the Timm we were
in the midst of along and destructive
drought; no rain sufficient to wet our
lands hud fallen since the 18tli day of
April; our corn was dying rapidly;
something must be done quickly, if
we would have bread for anoth
er year. I had twenty acres
of corn lying alongside of Ran
dle’s creek nil bottom land;
it was neither ditched, under-drain
ed, nor stibsolled; there was water,
bearing food for llsli; 1 wanted food
for my corn. Common sense said dam
that crock and throw the water out
among the corn. I went to work and
constructed a dam across Randle’s
creek, and in three days 1 had tho
satisfaction of seeing the water run
ning through every corn row. Tu a
few days thereafter that, field of corn
was strutting with life and vigor. 1
met with complete success in every
respect. My two neighbors, Jack
and Dan Odom, seeing my success,
went to work and irrigated with like
results. From my experiment 1 draw
the following conclusions:
That any land can he successfully
irrigated where there Is natural sur
i'uec drainage, at very little expense;
that subsol hug is nut essential; that
corn may stand in the water thirty
six hours, and cotton sixty hours,
without injury.
DID tIIRKUTION rxv?
Tho result stands about thus: The
field of corn without water would not
have made live bushels per acre, and
no fodder; with water at tho time I
applied it, it will make twenty; if
water could have been put on three
weeks earlier it. would have made
thirty und a large amount of fodder
--a gain of three hundred bushels
certain-and might have been live
hundred. lam out about ten days
labor with three hands. Water will
pay when properly handled. I think
tilts experiment, lias put some people
to thinking. Squibs were shot at me
by young and old. One old potato
raiser said no good would become of
it as "1 was Jlyin in the face of natnr."
Well, I have got square grains of
corn, while thelr's are round ; there
is the difference.
Yours, J. T. G.
“Tho expense of irrigation varies
according to tho nature of the work.
Whore tho catch-work system is
practicable, in favorable situations,
tli© forming may be done as low as
ten shillings per acre for about $2 50
per aero).
“ The expeusoof bed-work is consid
erable. In this system, it the ground
to bo flooded be smooth on its sur
face, or in regular ridges, ami if the
water can easily be brought to the
meadow with a temporary wear, sup
posing the extent to be almost twen
ty acres, it may be done at from 61.
to ltd. per acre tor from $25 to SSO per
aore); but if the land be of largo ex
tent, with an irregular surface; if a
largo conductor and a proper wear
shall be required, with hatches both
in it and also in tho feeders; and if
tho aid of a professional person, to
lay out and oversee the work be nec
essary ( which is generally required),
the expense will vary from 101. to 201.
per acre (or from SSO to sioo per
acre),(General Report,vol. 11, p. 538).“
“Nay, In Wiltshire, where they are
anxious to have their meadows form
ed in the most perfect manner possi
ble, with that regularity which the
nice adjustment of water demands,
tho expense per acre has amounted
to 401. (or S2OO per aero).” - Smith's
Observations on Irrigation.
The above ure the views of expe
rienced irrigators in England as to
tho cost of irrigation when it is done
upon the most approved principles.
Where land is so cheap as it is in this
country, it will not pay to bo so elab
orate or perfect; lienco we put it at
S3O per acre, taking into consideration
tho cost of a permanent dam and
large drains to carry off the water.
We wrote tor the whole State —not for
a porous, sandy soil which will absorb
the moisture of a moderate supply of
water. The pores of the earth, like
tlie pores of the skin, must be kept
open if healthful growth is desired.
Now, any one at all familiar with
stiff limestone soils, or adhcslvo eluy
soils, knows that if water in large
| quantities bo turned on land in the
morning and not turned off until
noon, and then left to the rays of a
hot July sun, tho land will “bake”
and “crack.” To prevent this, ade
quate drainage must bo provided by
artificial means. To do till* perfectly
will cost S3O per acre. Loudon, one
of the most experienced writers tq>on
agriculture in Groat Britain, says:
"There ure also some strong, ad
hesive, sour, wet lands—such as are
common in tho vicinity of large
rivers—which are also capable of
improvement by watering; but the
farmer must first undergo very great
expense by previous draining. It
must be kept constantly in mind that
the more tenacious tho soil Is, the
greater should lie the command of
water for effecting the purpose; as a
stream, capable of watering fifteen or
twenty aercas of light land, would be
found to be beneficial in .but a small
degree when applied to watering half
the same quantity of cold cluyey
ground, such as in its natural state
abounds with coarse plants.” In
Duvis’ Survey of Wiltshire, (where
irrigation is very perfectly practiced,
entailing considerable preliminary
cost,.! it is calculated that 2,000 acres
of water meadow will, on a moderate
estimate, produce in fouroriive years
10,000 tons of manure, and will keep
in permanent fertility 400 acres per
annum of arable land. The profit is
proportional with the expense.
Whether you consider Luplund or
the Equatorial climates one thing is
Universally necessary, which is that
land must be drained either naturally
or by art before irrigation will be
profitable. We are glad to loam that
Mr. John Abercrombie's exi?riment
on corn, und Mr. Charles Abercrom
bie’s on cotton, proves equally with
that of our friend J. T. G. the efficacy
and economy of irrigation.

Editors Columbus (Ga.) Times:
As I have seen nothing in your
columns of the crop prospects in tills
county, I have concluded to write to
you, that you might have tho pleas
ure of publishing it in your paper.
The prospects of the corn crop ure
better than they have been since the
war. It is thought by tho oldest far
mers in the county that corn will not
be worth over 25c. per bushel at gath
ering time.
Tho wlient crop was splendid.
There is a third more grain planted
in this county than there was last
your, and the people generally have
cultivated their crops well.
There was very little cotton planted
in the county, but what there is of it,
Is fine.
The clover ami grass crops are
larger und finer than I ever saw them
before in this county. One of my
neighbors mowed five thousand
pounds of clover off of one acre, this
spring. Yours,
The United States Marines consist
of 1,500 enlisted men. For this num
ber there are tl3 commissioned offi
cers, who receive pay to the amount
of nearly $200,000 annually, which a
cotemporary says is almost us large
a.; is disbursed to the entire corps of
enlisted men. There are 40,000,000
Americans who would like to know
the utility of this marine corps, or
the necessity of so many paid sine
cures.

The Chicago Courier recommends
that the tailor shop of Andrew John
son, which is still standing iu Green
ville, Tenn., with its original sign
board hanging out, bearing the
words: “A. Johnson, Tailor,” be re
moved to the Centennial ground in
this city for exhibition next year.
"Let it stand,” says that journal,
“on the most prominent spot on the
grounds, and there let it tell to the
eouutless visitors from all nations on
the globe its wonderful story iu be

rather like this suggestion, and hope
the people of Greenville and the
Centennial managers will agree to
the bringing of this historical tailor

; Jefferson Davis has notified the of

I give Mr. Davis credit for acting

who extended tho invitation. If the
people of Illinois were to act wisely,
they would never attend the agricul

Ha* AUtomo, Texas, Aug. 11, 1875. ■
“Hail thou ancient oity of the West,
thou far famed uml sadly mourned
city of the Alamo I” Such were the
exclamations that startled us from a
hall sleepily, half listless und alto-.
gether dreamy attitude, as tho stage,
by a short turn and quick descent
brings us In view of tho beautiful city
of Hun Antonio. After a pleasant ride
over the Galveston, Honßton and Ban
Antonio railroad in a comfortable
sleeping ear, after which a coach ride
of forty-two miles by compass and
chain, but much more by stage, with
thermometer 111) in the shade. Many
of your readers have doubtless Aisit
ed this portion of the country, ami
probubly to them these pencilings
will seem lame as it is quite beyond
our power to do justice to the subject
here brought before us; others, how
ever, may read with interest, and the
fact that wo are here enjoying the
beauties, comforts, yes wo will say
luxuries of this garden in a wilder
ness. This oasis in a desert fills us
with a strong desire to extend to our
friends the pleasure of enjoying the
occasion with us.
First, among the attractions, and
one which all must appreciate, is the
crystal and cold streams which course
through the city in many different
channels und as many different direc
tions. Tile Han Antonio river, gush
ing forth ns it does in one massive
fountain, but three and a half miles
above the city it winds gracefully
back und forth through a beautiful
valley, its hank bordered with a lux
uriant growth of a varied assortment
of tree* and shrubbery over pebbles
and rocks and with a very swift cur
rent, it seems to be free from all ap
proach to tilth and dirt which is gen
erally accumulated by a stream tra
versing a city.
The fall in this three and a half
miles is some sixty feet, giving a
magnificent water power which is of
inestimable value to the place. And
now we speak of the luxury of such a
river. All along its hanks are situa
ted bath houses, many belonging to
private parties, others fitted up for
tlie convenience of the public. Just
think of it, sir, after a hot dusty day’s
work ns you are “going home" to
stop for a few minutes and take a
plunge. Can you think of anything
more pleasant? We think not; anu
we imagine you mutually pronounce
it a luxury ; at ail the streets the river
is spanned by a tine bridge, many of
iron, others of stone and wood, so
that no inconvenience is felt und
there is no interruption in business
or trade.
The streets are generally paved
with rock and gravel, sidewalks of
stone, and thus the inconvenience of
mud is avoided. Cannot a few of
your readers appreciate this? The j
buildings are principally, in fact,most
universally of stone and cement,
which makes a permanent, though
not a finished or elegant building,
but one which will stand for ages.
The concrete and cement is used also,
but does not we opine, make nearly
so good a structure and is generally
devoid of uny approach to beauty.
We wore much surprised to see the
amount, of business which is done
here. We see some stocks quite as
large probably as would be found in
tho State. The Mexican and West
ern trade having centered itself there
years ago is carefully retained and
annually increased. Immense wag
on trains from West, North and South
come pouring into the city, and with
the present prospects for a railroad
communication with the. markets,
there can lie no question ot the future
importance of Ban Antonio.
