--Sos,ebody has besp tickling the editor
Of the Psducah Enterprise in the car by
telliSg him that the Singer Sowing ma
chipo company had decided TO remove Its
works from Cairo because of the high WA
ter which recently afflicted her and be
cause ~ the presence If accumulated rain
aud little sipc water in the lower portions
OF The city The reasons assigned Tor the in
tended removal are sufficient proof that the
A., Enterprises information is not authoritative,
because they are not reasons which would
Sarrsn, such action and the company, be-
lug composed of sensible gentlemen, would
not remove or talk Of removing without
having good reasons for doing 80. 1t Is al.
most enough to say that Mr.. Pine who
can alone speak with any authority Of the
purpose, Of the company in this part of the
country, is not in the city and has not been
since nor for some time before, the high
water. Mr.. Pine wss chiefly Instrument
in bringing the company here. He in
formed himself thoroughly Of ali Cairo's
advantages and dissdtantsge.; he knew
that, rs . rule, Cairo WAS no more subject
to danger from high water than hundreds
Of other cities along the Ohio and Missis,
sippi rivers and much less so subject than
many cities which laid claim to greater
safety. He knew that for three or four
years in succession, Cairo had not even bocn
visited BY sipe water, which the Enterprise
claims is now driving the company away,
and that at no time since 1862
had the citizens experienced any
Inconvenience FROM water within the evecs.
Mr. Pine knew, and everybody else knows,
that, as rule, under an ordinary condition
of things, Cairo is not only entirely safe
from overflow, but suffers not the least IN
convenience from water. Cairo has not
only proven hersef 70 be less liable to
overflow by ordinary foods than IRE her
boastful northern sisters, but she has
proven that, even IN extraordinary foods,
when the mad waters submergc cities tor
hundreds Of miles around her, which claim
to he less liable to overflow than she is, and
reached point never before known in the
history Of high waters, Cairo stands firm
and pntouchol by the floods and suffers
only from little sipe water and li,,lc
more rain water. That Cairo suffers from
the latter is not due to her low situation,
but 10 an unusual season of rains and warn
weather which have not occurred before in
the history of Cairo and which have caused |
not her alone, but hundreds Of other cities
which are usually not affected by high wa
ter, to suffer These unusual seasons
IRE rarities; there has been only one such |
in the history Of Cairo, perhaps in the his.
tory Vi the country, and it is not at all prob
able that We will hssc another such. To
nllcw snch an occurrsnce TO influence one
in an important step which will have great,
permanent results-,o permit m event 80
unusual, so out Of the regular order of
things, so contrary 10 the established laws
Of nature to inCtice one to take any step
which may ncutralize the work pf a life |
time and create confusion where there was
order and prosperity is very unwise. Mr.
Pine, us well rs everyone else, knows too
well that the food just passed was the
greatest ever known ia the country, that it
is not likely to occur again, that Cairo has
suffered much less from it than many other
cities, and that, even if it should occur again
Cairo would be better prepared to meet II
than before. In view of all these facts and
the further fact that Mr.. Pine is mau of
more than ordinary common sense, it is not
at all probable that the rumor about the
removal Of the Singer works from Cairo
has any foundation in fact.
