deep sigh.

Witness. in the further course of the

with the Tewkshury horror.
Senator Hoar-'rhat you know all

Witness-I have it stated officially.
"You are acquainted with Tewksbury,

"Pretty well acquainted with both,

Senator Hoar expressed the hope that

Yazoo county would show them to be as
false as those respecting Tewksbury.

The Governments Private Cred
ILOrs.

1t is the opinion Of many Of the
most experienced members of Con
gress that the present session is like
ly to reach far into the summer. In
our judgment the time has come for
Congress to either grant relief to the
thousands of private claimants who
are its honest debtors, by the estab-
1ishment of tribunals that shall have
final jurisdiction in these matters, or
to meet the immense accumulation Of
work by sessions Of at least 10 months
in the year. Under existing circum-
stances, while members of the Lower
House are elected and paid for term
of two years, they are only employed
at the Capitol for about ten months !;
and Senators who have terms of six
years are employed less than three
years in Washington. To be sure,
the fnanciers and men Of the monied
class have a holy horror Of long ses-
sions that may result in legislation
disturbing to speculative interests,
and they would, through the forum
and the press, raise a fearful clamor
If Congress should resolve upon SEES
sions covering ten months in every
year or twenty months in the two
years term for which pay is awarded,
but the result would be that the Gov
eminent would approximate to doing
its duty to the citizens of the Repub-
lie, and thousands of men and women
who hold as honest claims against it
as ever existed, would obtain their
dues.

The position of Columbus, from a
commercial standpoint,is just at pres
sent critical one. With the compile
ton of the Georgia Pacific road
through to Birmingham, the town
must either go backward or forward.
For many years past Columbus has
led an easy, careless go-as-you-please
sort of an existence, dependent upon
and confident in the power of her
natural resources to sustain her. Little
by little these natural Reconnaissance
been curtailed by the energy and
push Of what might be termed com
petitive towns, until Columbus to-
day stands almost upon the verge of
a commercial abyss, into which she
will fall unless her people awaken to
to the dangers Of the situation. The
most serious obstacle to the progress
of the place heretofore has been the
want Of cooperation among her peo-
pie. The town is divided up into too
many cliques, every one striving to
do all they can for themselves, in
many cases carrying this internecine
war to bitter extremes. As naturally
as might be expected, there is no
margin left for public spirit, and the
efforts of the town, as town, to ac-
complish any desired end are well
nigh impotent. This is more espe-
cially noticeable where there is any
opposition. With the completion Of
the Georgia Pacific road it is more
than likely that Columbus will lose
considerable cotton that has hereto
fore come to her from West Alabama
points; Atlanta and Birmingham will
compete with her in the matter of
furnishing supplies topoints that have
hitherto relied exclusively upon Co
lumbus. With the completion of the
Illinois Central road to West Point
and Aberdeen, Columbus will have
to stir herself to still hold the terri
tory west and north that has so long
sent its cotton to this market. Co.
lumbus will be hedged in by road
towns, and unless our merchants and
business men generally turn over a
new leaf and pull together in every
enterprise looking to the progress Of
the town the results will be disas.
trous. We are not disposed to take
pessimistic view Of the situation
Columbus has many of her "natural
advantages" left, and it will only re,
quire slight effort upon the part o.
her citizens to keep the place directly
in the line Of material progress. A
step in the right direction would be
united effort to secure the State Fe,
male College; another would be tc
take some defined and united actor
regarding the establishment of a cot
ton factory here. Many other things
suggest themselves, but these will dc
for the present. Let our business
men develop a little more public
spirit, and be willing to give little
more Of their time to the advance
ment of measures that will redounC
to the welfare Of the town in general
and the result will be seen in the
renewed life of the place. "Clique
ism" is the rock upon which many
more prosperous communities have
split, and unless the people of Colum
bus can rise superior to the petty
iealousies and dissensions that nov
exist here, failure is preordained.-

The Rest IVO0Iiu The world.

The Mississippi Mills, at Wesson,
in Copiah county, consumes about
100000 pounds of wool annually
about 100000 lbs of this is grade
Merino, from Texas, and the rec
mainder, 100000 lbs, is purchased
in the vicinity of the mills and in the
coast counties, Capt. Oliver, Su-
perintendent and Treasurer of these
mills, says that the finest wool in the
world is grown in South Mississippi,
and that the success Of these mills
ut tho Centennial and at Atlanta and
all other Fairs is due as much to the
superiority OF the wool used as to
excellence in handling. In corrob
Grafton of this, we remind our reads
ers that at the famous Fair in Man
chester, England, many years ago,
wool grown in Madison county Mis-
sissippi took the premium over all
other exhibits as the best wool in
the world.
These facts should make it appar
ent to all that tbs Noll growing in
