FAYETEE COUEET SUBSCRIPTION
WHY IT FAILED.

We learn by a private letter from
Somerville that the subscription pro-
posed to the various railroads in Fay
cite county was defeated. This result
was not unexpected. The weather
has been inclement and the people
did net hear the question discussed.
Wherever they heard speeches nearly
all voted for the subscription. The
policy Of the opponents Of the sub
scription wss to prevent popular dis
cussi0n. Had the weather been good
the result would have been very diff
ferent. Another proposition will
doubtless be submitted, either at the
April or July term Of the county
court, which will be carried by FIVE
ID one. We cannot believe, when the
people who live on the Memphis and
Charleston and Memphis and Ohio
roads understand this question, that
they will vote against the PROPOSE
tons submitted. 1t would be
too ungenerous for people who
live on railroads built by State and
county subscriptions to vote against
awarding to other parts Of the county
advantages they themselves have re-
csived. There may be some modif-
cations in the proposition hereafter
submitted which will insure success.
It is impossible that a county having
the wealth and intelligence Of Fayette
will be content to be behind every
other county in West Tennessee. Let
the friends Of other roads persist in
efforts TO make the scheme compre-
hended and they will carry Fayette
by a majority as large as that given
in jackson. All that is needed is for
the whole people to understand the
question in all It's aspects. Old fogy-
ism cannot stand before light and
knowledge. This election only delays
the building Of the roads but does not
defeat them.

RAILROADS.

The Jackson (Tennessee) Plaindeal-
er says: The following Is well worth
q place In u columns. 1t merits the
| attentive consideration Of every man ;
because it shows that Colonel Sykes
knew what he was talking about In
1919; and 1t is reasonable to suppose
he knows what he is talking about
now. Extract from an article pub.
lished by William J. Sykes In 1S49, In
the Maury (Tennessee) Intelligeneer,
in reference 10 the proper termination
Of the Pacific railroad:
"It is exceedingly important that a
route should be selected not liable to
the objections stated by Mr.. Benton.
A more southern route would, in a,
great degree, avoid these obstacles,
and would, in all respects, be equally
as advantageous to all sections OF the
| Union. Memphis Is perhaps as eligi-
BILE q place as can be selected. BY
means of the Mississippi and its tribu-
taries, it Is connected with all the
great cities Of the West. It Is in the
heart of the great Mississippi valley,
and occupies q commanding position,
which clearly marks il as the most
suitable point for the termination of
the Pacific railroad. 1t is also proba-
bic that q road commencing there
would avoid the deep SHOWS spoken
| of by Mr.. Benton.
"In a few years there will be acontin-
| nous line OF railroads from Memphis
to the Atlantic. The railroad from
Charleston, s. O., to Nashville, Tenn,
will soon be finished. All that will

with the Atlantic will be a railroad
from Memphis to some point on the
Nashville and Charleston road. There
is every a to believe that this
will soon be built. To question this
would be to doubt the energy and en-
terprising spirit of those most inter-
ested. A road will either be built
from Nashville to Memphis or the
/ present Tuscumbia and Decatur road
will be extended west to Memphis,
and east to some Toint on the Nash.
vile and Charleston road. II either
of these two roads should be built,
another route equally as advantageous
might be selected.
"a road from Memphis, running
through the cOuntiesSof Wayne, Law

now become reality, and even now a
project is sgitated Of building this

reasonably expect it will be built.

THE COMING REVOLUTION IN VIE.


The Lynchburg Republican and
Richmond Wig have changed their
line Of argument. Not long ago they
asserted that the Southern Railway
Security Company was the ''baseless
fabric of a vision"-"a stupend0us
fraud"-iIIegaI, unsubstantial. Now
the story is changed. They confess
the conquest Of the South. The
disguise Is thrown of. Tom Scott's
combinations and speculadons are de-
signed for the subjugation of the
South" This is fearful; but the terror
inspired is somewhat ameliorated by
the reflection that the whole railroad
system of the Union as it exists to-day,
cOnverges and c~entralizes commercial
power in New York. Tom Scott, on
the contrary, makes Philadelphia his
lire Of argument. But there is a
modest suggestion we have to make.
II the Wing and the Republican will
assent, all evils, real and imaginary,
growing out of this consolidation Of
Southern railway lines may be obvi-
ated. We would have Tom Scott
achieve for Virginia and the South
ends which Malone should have ac-
complished more than a year ago.
Then the APPEAL urged the necessity
for the consolidation of the Norfolk
and Bristol, Bristol and Chattanooga,
and Chattanooga and Memphis roads.
The combined wealth of these roads
would have given Malone resources
enough. He might have played
the part of Tom Scott in the
South, and made Norfolk a
magnificent emporium Of Southern
foreign and domestic trade. Malone
failed and the sceptre of railroad I'M
pire in the South was seized by Tom
Scott. Now that Malone is imp0tent
and we must have a Southern trans
Continental line--let its eastern termi-
nus be Norfolk, Philadelphia, or New
YOrk-the APPEAL would have all
obstacles, even Malone, removed.
Say what Virginians may about local
independence, as effected by railway
Consolidation, the necessity for the
absorption of MshOne's road by the
Southern Railroad Security company
is too patent to be denied and too
overwhelming to be resisted. Ma
hone lost everything when he lost
East Tennessee. and Virginia gains
everything by making the Bristol
and Norfolk roads part and parcel
o. Tom ScOtt's unbrOken route TO the
Pacific. II the Wing and the Republican
would not have southern wealth and
power centralized in New York, let
MahOne stand aside and Norfolk be-
comes the commercial emporium OF
the South. Political Capitalization is
surely to be %deplOred, but States and
nations are made an unit by resistless
commercial forces and it is useless for
Malone and his potent organs in Viz
ginis, like the bsrbarous. British king, |
to issue unsvailing mandates against
the Cceau-tide Of progress that must
overWhelm even the old Dominion.
The war-worn mother OF States and
statesmen will come Up from the bap-
tism which Tom Scott will admins
ter Refrigerated, reluvenated and re-
invested with a large share of that
political, financial and intellectual
authority which once made the name
Of "Virginia" significant OF pre-em-
among States, and "Virginian"
a patent Of true nobility.

rnr PLANTATION ooMPREsa

Many letters Of inquiry in relation
TO the "Plantation Compress have
been referred to Messrs. Register d
~I,rezevant, to whom they should be
addressed. In answer to inquiries 1t
can only be stated that a model Of the
simple machine tells best itssOwn
story. One mule supplies all the
power required to reduce a cotton
bale weighing 500 pounds, in three
minutes, to the dimensions and shape
required for foreign shipment. Be
sides the saving of the charge made
In cities of the cost Of COMPRISING
bales sent in from plantations, a vast
deal of handling and drayage back
and forth is saved, and while cotton
bales are undergoing these processes
the s'sampling," waste and stealageis
sometimes fearful. AL these evils and
losses are spared the planter that
congresses ready for European or
or eastern shipment his own crop, ct
his own gin, with his own mule and
his own compress. The patent also
provides for the use of sheet iron in
stead OF bsgging. Rates Of insurance
will thus be lessened, and the same
sheet-iron, costing originally hardly
more than bagging, may be returned
in packages as ballast, and used again.
Ties, of course, are needless. By the
devices of the simplest mechanism the
mules power as applied to the Plant
alton Compress is multiplied fourteen
hundred times, and so plain, direct
and simple is the continuance that a
glance at the model will satisfy any
one that no more is claimed
for the Plantation Compress than it
deserves. 1t is made wholly of iron,
will last a lifetime and cost $500. The
annual cost to the South of wooden
and other cotton presses such as are
usedon farms, is estimated at $7,OO0,-
900. This leak will be finally closed
when the iron Plantation Compress,
as 1t viii be, is universally adopted.
We have written Of this invention
because it is invaluable to the South
and to the farmers Of the South, in
promotion Of whose interest the AP-
PEAL is published, and because the
inventor himself is one of u own
citizens and a lifelong planter, who
has ever amused his leisure hours by
INDUCING a taste for the mechanic
arts. This Plantation Compress is the
best result Of his labors and most
marvellous product Of his inventive
genius.
