WE are pleased to learn that the Repub-
lcans are deserting the N. Y. Times in
droves. That's the way to do it. That
will bring Mr., Jones TO his milk quicker
than anything else. THE CRITIC never re-
joices at tho misfortune of people-but in
this case it cannot help rejoicing that the
Timea is meeting with due reward for its
treacheIy 10 the Republican party-the
party that made it, and has sustained it for
10 these many years. After the election
the Times will come back with an alacrity
that will be both amusing and amazing.
But it must do the saclScloth aud ashes
business before it can be received into full
communion again. Yes, indeed The
Times will know moro than it ever did, but
1t won't make as much money.

Editor Morning Nel0s: On the occasion
of a recent picnic at Montgomery TOOK
my sail boat and invited number OF
ladies to meet me at the wharf and take
a sail. When the ladies came TO the
wharf there were a number Of young lads
swimming around the wharf and making
improper exhibitions Of theirpersons, and
it was only with great difficulty that l
could get them to go back into the bath
house and give the ladies chance 70 get
into the boat without being compelled 10
pass through the spaces occupied by the
swimmers.
When we returned from our sail there
were several grown men, entirely naked,
climbing up onto the wharf and diving
from the tops of the posts, a species OF
amusement which they kept up when
they saw this and other boat loads. OF
ladies returning from sailing and nearing
the wharf. In our own case these young
men practiced this feat when my boattul
Of ladies had come within 100 feet OF the
wharf.
1t seems to me that some authority,
whether that of the railroad company or
the proprietor of the hotel who has
charge of the bath house, should find
some means OF protecting visitors from
these indecent exhibitions, especially
when large excursions visit this delight
full resOrts
At present, no lady can go and sit on the
wharf and enjoy the sea breeze without
shock to her sense of mOdesty. That the
parties in authority may know the truth
fulness of the above statements, | sign
my name. LOUIS A. FALLIGANT.

Venus will be the lOYeliest star in the
heavens through the month of May, as
after elOngation she turns her step west
ward, moving rapidly towards us and has
tening on to her period of greatest bril-
liancy. She will form delightful plane
tary study for the naked eye and also for
telescope observation. The planet is
specially interesting on account of the
striking resemblance she bears to the
earth. In size, in density, in position in
the system, in the length of her revOlu-
ton, in the time of her rotation, in the
possession of an atmosphere, in the form
of her orbit. and in the amount. of light
and heat she receives from the sun, she is
more like the earth than any other men,
Der of the solar system. She is our near
est planetary neighbor, and, if a moon
were following in her track to complete
the analogy, Venus and the earth would
be the twin sisters of the solar family.
Indeed, the planets seem to be in pairs,
Jupiter and Saturn are the giants of the
family, Neptune and Uranus follow next
to the giants, and Mars and Mercury
complete the list.

RAILROADS N TIE INTERIOR.

The Central Directors in Conference with
Delegation from Preston and Ameri-
Gus with Reference to New Branches In
Southwest Georgia.
Hon. d. B. Harrell. of Preston, Ca, and
Messrs. Uriah B. Harold, Samuel H.
Hawkins and W. Fl. Davidson, of Ameri-
Gus, appeared before the Directors of the
Central Railroad yesterday to urge the
Importance of the construction of
branch railroad from the South
western road to extend into that
territory between Eufaula, Ala, and
Columbus, Ga. The matter has been agi-
tated among the people of that portion OF
southwest Georgia for some time and TWO
branch lines have been proposed. One OF
Of these is from Lumpkin, in Stewart
county, to tap the Southwestern at Ameri-
Gus, a distance of about forty miles,
and the other is from Preston,
in Webster county, to tap
the Southwestern at Smithville,
in Lee county, a distance Of twenty
miles. Col. ID. B. Harren appeared TO
urge the PreStOn-Smithville route, and
the other gentlemen came in favor of the
Lump6in-Americus branch. The claims
of both these routes were presented by this
delegation to the Central Directors with
q view " bbtutuluE dnSiSldHtt llOiu lustt
corporation, but with what success it is
now impossible to say, as both the Cen
trail people and the delegation were reti-
cent as to the matter.
Col. Harrell said to a MORNING News
reporter: You needn't ask me anything
about this business. 1t was an under
standing among us before we left home to
keep as much Of our mission and its re-
suits from the public as possible, not that
we do not appreciate the power Of the
newspapers. but so many railroads have
been built on paper that we wantt0 get
things in some certain and tangible shape
before we proclaim even what we propose
to do. Preston and Smithville are ready
to grade and tie a track and ask the Cen
trail folks to equip it, which they have
understood was to be done. The road
viii bring into communication with the
world a rich section of Georgia heretofore
neglected whichever route may be de-
cided upon. We have been before the
Central people and made our little
speeches, and it remains to be seen what
will he DONE"
The Americas delegation were equally
as reticent, and the directors of tn Cen
trail who were sounded by the reporter
were not disposed to give any information
as to the conference or its results, OF what
would probably be done.

some Good Advice.

Don't believe all that you read. Be-
cause you 'saw it in the paper" is no
evidence Of veracity. Truth pays better
than falsehood, and is just as cheap. If
you ever find out that L have ever mis-
represented one iOta, L will give you the
best in my store as a gift. When | state
that my stock of Gents, Youths and
Boys Clothing is unique and special, 1
speak solid facts. When | say that my
goods are made to order from materials
selected By myself, L MEAN IT. When 1
say that will guarantee as neat a fit as
you can get in any tailor shop, PLL DO
IT. Furthermore, if suit does not fit
you exactly, Tll make it fit you at my er-
peRSe. When l tell you that my assOrt-
ment of styles and patterns is very large
and superb, 1 am willing to leave it to
YOU. When l emphatically protest
against your paying as much or more for
inferior or poorly made up goods than will
charge YOU for mine, l do it in the interest
of my patrons. 159 BroughtOn street,

HOW Reporter Got an Item.

There came near being another Yama-
craw conflagration yesterday. An insur-
ance agent and newspaper reporter were
in that portion of the city in search of
business and happened into the place of
Mr.. James Duggan, who is preparing to
open a boarding house and grocery store
on River street. The reporter lit a cigar
with a match and casually threw the
blazing end into what he thought was a
cuspidOr. 1t happened to be a bucket of
fresh paint, and in a second big blaze
flashed up. In the effort to throw the
bucket out doors the burning oil was
spilled over the floor. A binding smoke
arose and the flames quickly spread over
the furniture. The insurance agent had
a risk on the building and worked like a
beaver the proprietor worked and swOre,
and the reporter tried to stamp out the
flames with his feet. Just as the case be-
came hopeless a YamacraW small boy
threw bucket of water over the floor and
the fire was out. A handsome counter
was ruined, a big hole burned in the floor
and the reporters shoes and trousers
were scorched. HO got his item, but by
very questionable means.

A BIG TASK.
Moving an Electric Light Tower, and
How it is Done.

Moving an Electric Light Tower, and
How it is Done.
The widening of River street has ne
cessitated the removal of the electric light
tower, which stood on the northern side Of
the Electric Light Works, to another lOca-
ton on the eastern side. The tower will
have to be moved so yards, and upon an
elevation that will make it 20 feet higher
than at present. 1t is one of the tallest
towers IN the city, is 1S5 feet in height.
and weighs seven tons, at low esti-
mate. The work of moving this
tower has been given to Gay Il Morris,
contractors, and the work was COM
menced yesterday morning. Eight enor-
nous guy ropes were stretched from the
tower To the ground to hold the immense
frame work upright, and track was laid
beneath the three feet of the structure.
Innumerable pieces of piping sandwiched
between two immense planks makes the
track. The top plank, upon
which is fastened the feet of
the tower, will slide upon the rollers
while the plank underneath will remain
stationary. As soon as the tower is clear
of its present foundations they will be re-
moved to the new place. The lift of 20
feet upon the embankment of the street
will be accomplished by jack screws. 1t
Will also be necessary to turn the tower
around so that the feet now resting north
Will be east. The contractors hope to
have the work finished by Saturday night.

number of outsiders in attendance.
The names of the officers were
given in the MORNING NEWS
Sunday morning. They received the
oaths ofoffice from Mr.. II. r. BOOz, Lodge
Deputy, and at the conclusion Of the in
stallatiOn pleasant episode occurred in
the presentation by the lodge of hand
some ring to Miss Rebecca BOOz, the re-
firing Vice Templar, and gold pen to
the valuable Secretary, Mr.. II. COakley.
Mr.. Thomas ii. Laird made the presenta-
ton speeches in happy language, and the
recipients responded feelingly. A choir
led by Mr.. j. n. McDOn0ugh
rendered stirring anthems. Mrs. A. L.

morOus recitatiOns, and Miss Annie
