We arc glad to note that the old fogy
class of citizens who have been so hurtful
.. io the interests of Crawford county is
growing beautifully less. The class we
refer to opposed everything of a public
nature that promised good to the commu¬
nity. It seems that everything .which
aimed at improvement or reform was
. strongly denounced, and bitterly opposed
by them. The men we refer to evinced
good judgment and common sense in all
.
private affairs and got to be influential
on the.strength of it, hut in matters
of a public nature they were what is now
called old soreheads. When it was deter¬
mined to build a railroad from Macou to
Columbus, years ago. men in this county
fought the project so earnestly that the
projectors had to give up the idea ot pass¬
ing through this county, and so the road
was built from Fort Valley to Columbus.
Those citizens really believed that the rail¬
road would be a detriment to tha county,
uid we do not condemn them for their
views—for they were honest—but we cite
this instance to show how an element that
opposes progress may harm themselves
and their neighbors. That railroad, if it
had boon built through Knoxville, would
have built up a market here equally as
good as Macou has been, and every acre ot
land in the county would have been worth
twice as much as it will bring at this time.
We must learn by experience what things
are best for us. Wo could show many
instances where our people have
abused their opportunities, and while other
have taken advantage of their priv¬
we have been sleeping over our
The times and customs are con¬
stantly changing, and our business and
ublic methods must change with them or
we will remain in obscurity. The watch¬
word must now be “Progress and Reform.”
The Butler Herald, in a lengthy edito¬
rial, advocates tho plan for using the state
convicts which we proposed some time ago.
Instead of leasing them or working them
In a penitentiary the hotter plan would
bs to have the public roads worked
by them.
It is stated that Col. Fry has mortgaged
the Atlanta, Atlantic and Great Western
railroad for three millions of dollars.
When this statement was first publicly
made not a lick of work had been struck
on that road—even a preliminary survey
had not been made. The question is how
Col. Fry mortgage nothing?
Governor Foraker says he wants heavy
luties V/nd in imports for protection,
and for no other purpose. Tariff reform
want duties levied that money
may be raised to pay expenses of govern¬
ment. The one wants the tax for the
benefit of a few pet industries, at the
expense of those engaged in other occupa¬
tions. The other wants the tax arranged
so as to make tho burden equal on all and
enough to pay governmental expenses.
This js the issue plainly put, and on this
.platform Cleveland and Thurman will
jrblo ii^o office.
Montezuma Record;; Talk about fishing
frolicks, a gentleman sasdon the streets
•the .other day thatJie had a ,-story which
beats anything he ever beard of before,
Job Leary, who lives out in the country
about three mites from Montezuma,-went
fishing one day, and every once in.>a while
he would pull out one of those bad smell¬
ing little coolers. He got so mad that - he
said to a friend: “If I catch.another one,
I’m going to bite off his.bead/’ The words
were hardly out.of his mouth before he
pulled out another one. He deliberately
bit off the head.
A mad dog created considerable excite¬
ment on Z. P. Clgxton’s plantation, near
few days-ago. -It also visited
other places in The community. Miss
Mattie Ciaxton was in the field assisting
the hands iff doiug some hoeing. Tho dog
attacked a negro girl, who gave him the
dodge. Miss Mattie was not noticing, and
before-she-was conscious of her da nger the
rabid canine had bounced upon her -hack
and was snapping at her neck. Before he
could accomplish his deadly purpose,
though, her sister, Miss Helen, ran to her
rescue, and with a boe knocked the vicious
brute from his baleful perch. While the
dog was in a fit the girls lied. He was
killed the next morning, but not until he
had bitten .nearly all-the dogs in the com¬
munity. •
