THE DAILY TIMES. ColumbiiM. (u., TUESDAY AUGUST 24, 1H75. humih roMTAivi:, i B<ll4 > - • Kdllors. t. n. i LAJBOEBT DAILY OIROELATION 'Wm 7 j*Uy wd Wuhurlm. 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; W. V. UN® 8. AA. l.iui- Now York ..$2 35 11 SO San FrftnoUoo 3 (*o i w lluntoll 2 Wi 2(H) Union‘ltering* 4" Atlanta of> 40 N*w Orleans 1 25 75 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. • • From Uar-liall Count). Ala. 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. Red Ci.odd, the Indian Chieftain of the Black Hills, is attempting to get heavy damages against tho United States Government for permitting people to mine there. We hope lie may be successful. Ho is the most civilized Indian wo have yet heard of. “His ease,” says tho Now York Tri bune, “is not one that we con equita bly throw aside.” • * Mu. Wman declines to be a candi date for Mr. Delano’s place. We would rather see him at the head of the In dian Bureau than any man in Amer ica. If he will not take it, we would like to see Prof. O. C. Marsli appoint ed. The Indian Bureau needs a thor ough cleansing. We have received a phamphlet from Professor Marsh, entitled “A Statement of Affairs at Ited Cloud Agency made to the President of the United States.” It fully substanti ates the charges made by the Profes sor against Delano and his infamous associates. Assertion without argument. Tho Washington < 'lironicle. Du. H. T. Hem bold is in an insane asylum. 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 half of the equality of man.” We rather like this suggestion, and hope the people of Greenville and the Centennial managers will agree to the bringing of this historical tailor shop to the great exhibition. That humble sigu, painted in yellow let ters, would be read With Interest and wonder by thousands, and, the Cour ier suggests, would convey a useful and instructive lesson. I‘hUadelpbia Times. Contemptible. The Washington Chronicle, has the following: ; Jefferson Davis has notified the of ; iicers of the Winnebago Agricultural Society that, owing to the feeling on i tho subject, he declines delivering the I address at Rockford. For once we I give Mr. Davis credit for acting ; properly—much more so than those who extended tho invitation. If the people of Illinois were to act wisely, they would never attend the agricul tural fairs of the Winnebago county society, until every one of the present board had been dismissed—at least those who were consenting to invite Davis—and branded as senseless idiots. X*l AVTIIMII I.KTTI*. 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. The French Court of Appeals has confirmed the judgment declaring M. Courbet, the painter, liable for the expenses of re constructing the col umn in the Place Vendome. Communism is expensive.
