A Homo Enterprise.

Several months ago we made mention Of
the fact that Sash, Blind and Door Fac
tory had been established in Anderson.
Since then the Factory has been steadily at
work. The other day We concluded to visit
the establishment and see tho machinery at
work.
The Factory buildings are located on Dc.
pot street, near the railroad track. The
gentlemen composing the firm are Messrs.
A. H. Osborne, Wn. McGukin and M. A.
snipes, under the firm name Of Osborne.
McGukin & Co. On entering the building
we met up with Mr.. McGukin, who took
charge of Us and Carried us through the
Factory, showing us the various machines
and explaining their operations .rc ct
tempt description OF oil the machinery
we saw there would consume more time
and space than we have at our command
at present. The hum and buzz of the ma
chinery made us feel and realize for the first
time that such an establishment existed in
Anderson, and it deserves more than q
passing notice.
The machinery in use was purchased in
person by member OF the firm, and con-
eequently they have the very latest i'm
provements. Their planning machine alone
cost about 81 200, and will dress about
10000 feet oflumber per day. This machine
e ..hhe largest this side of Charleston
After piece OF lumber lc.7S the planer, It
Is not many minutes before it is made into
q door, sash, blind or other desired piece Of
wood work, everything being done by ma
ehinery, except putting It together. Con.
sequently, with comparatively small
number Of hands, the Factory 10 enabled to
turn out rapidly vast amount of work.
In reply to question rs to what SUCCESS
the Factory was meeting with, we were
told that 1t was almost impossible to keep
up with their orders. They are not only
selling work In tho adjoining Counties OF
this State, but in the neighboring Counties
Of Georgia.
The Sentlemanly proprietors superintend
the work themselves, and allow nothing but
the very best OF material to bo used, conse.
quenuy wherever their work goes 1t speaks
for itself They use heart-pine timber al
together, which is, OF course. more durable
than the white-pine work commonly
brought here from foreign factories. Every
thing needed about o house, such es doors,
sash, blinds, mantles, brackets, &C., is man
ufactured here, and as their business In
creases the firm intend adding to their ma
chinery.
This is q home enterprise, and those of
cur people who are building or contemplate
building should patronize it, and thereby
encourage home Industries so as TO keep up
the development Of this country and keep
our money at home.

An Official Endorsement.

The Houston Post builded wise:
than it intended when it published
State Engineer Britton's assertion that
more passengers get of and on the
trains in twenty-four hours at Fort
Worth than at Dallas, Austin, San
Antonio, Houston and Galveston all
combined. The Post, of course, wants
to Brighten people with the idea that
in taking care Of this immense duly
! travel Fort Worth has no room lett to
care for convention, and thus secure
the convention for Houston, whose
hotels are empty all the time, unless a
convention of some kind meets
in that cemetery. This state
ment of Engineer Britton, an officer OF
the state having special opportunities
to note the tide of travel, will be an
unanswerable Endorsement Of all that
the GAZETTE has been claiming for
Fort Wort, viz: That it is the Invest,
most prosperous city in Texas, With
the assurance that the convention will
be cared for, the Post has unwittingly
done "the Fortn a favor, for will moi
the delegates prefer to meet where
they can see the llyest city in Texas;
Who Of them will want to so to q
sleepy old town on sluggish bayou,
prolific of mosquitoes, when they can

city, at which more people, according
to the assertion OF the railroad engi'
neer of the state, get off and on the
trains than at Galveston, Houston
Austin, Dallas, and Sun Antonio
combined. Everything works together

Mrs. Rnirht.


We have alluded to the fact that an
aged woman, Mrs. Haight, is under
sentence OF death at Syracuse, New
York, for the murder of her husband.
| The crime was committed in Feb
ruary, 1883, and desire to get posses
sion of $4,000 insurance the old man
! had on his life is assigned rs the mo-
tive for the unnatural deed. 1t is n
sickening story, the history of the
crime, and unfortunately there is
little ground for doubling the old
woman IS guilt. But II thrill of hor-
ror is aroused at beholding q woman
in such an attitude-a murderess, the
victim her husband, and the gallows
waiting for its victim-there will also
be aroused sentiment of hearty dis
gust at the scene that characterized
the conclusion of the trial. When
sentence was pronounced the mob of
men in the courtroom Kissed and
hooted the miserable woman as she
was led away. Whatever her crime,
this was coarse and cowardly. The
climax was capped, however, at the
little village of DeRuyter, where the
murder took place. These men and
boys ON receiving news of the SEN
tence of death built soaflold,
kindled bonfire and amid cheers
and rioting hanged Mis-. Haight in
etligy. n cannon was brought out
and loaded to add its tones to the
noise, but Saturday night giving way
to Sunday. the misunderstanding
mob RETAINED from firing the salute.
a state of society that permits such
ebullitions of hoodiumism is not
above criticism. and it is not surprising
that it develops such abnormal phases
of crime as Mrs. Haight's. We doubt
il any Western or Southern state could |
furnish such display of unseemly re-
joicing rs was witnessed in this
ancient and well-ordered New York
village.

Colonel j. II. Brtton, state engineer, re.
turned to the city tc day from q trip of bridge
Inspection. Colonel BrlIton lays that twenty
trains arrived at Dallas and sixteen at Fort
Worth, but that more passengers get on and
oil the trains at The Fort in twenty-four hours
than at Dallas. Austin, san Antonio, Hous.
ton and Galveston combined. Query; What
can Fort Worth do with tho 1903 delegates
who will attend The Democratic convention,
should 1t be located there?-Austin special to
Houston Post, March %.
This question will provoke smile
here in Fort Worth. Fifteen hundred
delegates, forsoothl In the first place,
there will not be that number of deie-
gates in the state convention. The
number of visitors, however delegates
and all, who will be attracted here by
the gathering, should be twice or three
times l500--say from 5000 to 5000 peo-
pie. That is about the size of the
crowd Fort Worth expects and desires
to see. 1t viii not be novel sight to
have several thousand visitors within
our gates; we have had them on divers
and sundry occasions in the past, and
we expect and intend 10 have them
two or three times year in
the future. We shall quar-

THE ONLY MAN.
All Hope of Presidential Success Cen.
tered in Mr.. Tilden.

For the Gazette.
Springtown, March st seems that
the Democratic party is completely at
sea in trying to set upa candidate for
president when Samuel j. Tilden is
left out OF the arena OF possible candi-
dates. And why is this so? Forsurely
we have MS many worthy and true
statesmen to select from in the Demo-
cratic party, rs in fact any other party
ever did have to choose from. TO my
mind the reason is this: Samuel j
Tilden towers so far above any other
living American statesman that they
all, though many of them are giants
within themselves, look like mere
pigmies in comparison to this noun
tain of craftsmanship, patriotism and
executive ability.
For the Democratic party TO nomi-
nate any other prominent Democrat
and leave Mr.. Tilden idle would be
about As foolish as to have put Marshal
Ber,hier in command of the French
army during the first empire, when
Napoleon was idle and willing to com
mand. With Berthier in command, the
French might have accidentally sue.
| ceeded, but would have been almost
sure to have suffered defeat. But with
NapoleoN IN command the french
would have been almost sure to have
succeeded, but might have accidental
iy been defeated. Well, now, lust so
with Samuel j. Tilden for our Demo-
cratic standard-oearer we are al
most sure TO succeed, with any other
candidate we might accidentally pre-
vail but would still be almost sure to
fail. Now, can we afford to exchange
a sure thing for an accidental chance?
Surely not Nine-tenths of the rank
and file of the Democrats are for Mr..
Iilden. But a majority Of the politi-
clans are against him, because they
know that he would not be soft mud in
their hands to daub up political cracks
with.
Well, now, the politicians have a
great deal to say and make terrible
hullabaloo about Mr.. Tiden's health.
mind and age. The Democratic party
can succeed better with Mr.. rildenis
! corpse or old clothes than with any
other presidential possibility, though
the possibility were four times as biz
as he possibly Is, and it looks like he,
the possibility, would live thousand
wears.
