JANUARY 1, 1886.
An Entertainment that Proved sue
 cessful h Every Detail.

The benefit rendered Professor Chris | tol on New Years night at the Bird Cage
 was attended en masse by the lovers of
 the manly arts of this city. To say that
 the expectations of the large crowd pre-
 sent were fully realized, is but stating a selfevident truth. For several days our people looked forward to New Years
 night, with anxious expectation, and
 from the well-known reputation of those
 who so kindly consented to assist on the occasion, the pubic were assured of an enjoyable time. The glove contest be- tween Walker and Edwards proved a conspicuous feature of the entertainment. MT. w., however, succeeded in getting away with his antagonist without much difficulty. Contrary to the expectations of majority of those in attendance the dusky damsel of the Apache persuasion failed to show up in propra person. The Messrs Parker brothers also added no little toward making the occasion success. The greatest interest, how ever, was centered in the heavy lifting of Schumacher, the winner of the late match over Professor Marc Christol. A ponderous bar of iron, weighing fully I5o pounds, was raised aloft in Mir. Schumacher's hands, and in addition to this was the entire weight of three aver age sized men, who held on to the pro jecting ends, and the whole carried about the stage with. apparent ease by the young hercules. His strength is cer- tainly marvellous, and we predict that at no distant day he will rank with the heavy filters of the world, as we'll as carry the palm of victory as the best Graceo- Roman wrestler.

National aid to education is COM
ing sooner or later in some form.
Bob Taylor favors selling land and
using the money. Others favor u.s.
ing the money already there. One
money is as good as another. All
democrats are now united on ma
tional aid in one way or another.
1t is nonsense to oppose it now that
our platform, our Bob and our peo-
pie all favor it. 1t is nonsense also
to object to appropriating money to
our schools on the ground that the
national debt ought to be paid first.
We cannot pay the debt before ii
is due. We cannot force bond
holders to surrender their bonds
for the money unless they desire it,
There will be only $144, 100000 in
bonds due between now and 1891.
After that there will be but $780,
100000 due until 1907. This is all
we can pay in these twenty years,
and yet our surplus goes on piling
up at the rate of hundred millions
year. What are we going to do
with it? Reduce the tariff? Yes,
we ought to if we could agree to-
gether upon a plan. But we cannot
agree and in the meantime the sur
plus will accumulate. We cannot
pay the debt because it is not due.
Let's give it to the ignorant chill
dren of the south.

GILES COUNTY CALL.

To the Democratic Voters Of Giles County:
FELLOW DEMOCRATS Acting under
the call of ROb't M. Mckay, Chairman,
published herewith, call upon you to
assemble at the voting places of your
respective districts at p. m, Saturday,
Sept. 18th, 1886, and to open and hold
primary election until p. m. of that
day, to choose delegates to represent
you in the Congressional convention
called to SIT in Columbia, at II M, We'd
nesday, Sept. 18th, 1856. Inasmuch as
the Giles County legislative primaries
will be held on the same day, Saturday,
Sept. 18th, 1856, between 1 and p, M,
you should hold the two elections sepa-
rately; that is, your votes in the two
elections should be received in two sep
arate ballot boxes, one box for the leg
islative delegates, the other for the con-
gressional delegates, and the latter

Mr.. McKay's call.
You should vote in this election both
for Congressman and for delegates.

Greece and Italy; that there had
been two eruptions of Vesuvius, and
that the volcano was still very &C
tive. These eruptions gave vent to
internal commotion which had pro-
duced the quaking of earth in that
vicinity, but the shocks, being com
municated to the earth, have trav-
eled in various directions, in some
with more violence than in others,
as they were felt on the same day
throughout Egypt, but doing little
damage.
"The shocks seem to have ex-
tended westward with more rapid
ty and volume than in any other di-
rection, the vibrations of particu
lars on the earth's surface being
transmitted under the sea at the
rate of about 100 miles an hour, oc-
cupying about seventy-two hours
in travelling Il distance of $500
miles before reaching the western
shores of the Atlantic. Travelling
as it did, almost due west, one of
the first points on the shore line
which it could reach was the coast
of South Carolina, but we see it
was felt along the entire coast as
far north as Boston and spread
across the continent with diminish
ing force as more solid and rocky
portions of surface crust retarded
the vibrations, until it seems to
have been almost entirely stopped
by friction in the extreme north
western states.
"The reason why the shocks were
more violent in the vicinity of
Charleston and Summervi1le is be-
cause there is more of a soft,
yielding nature in the superficial
upper strata, which conducted the
vibrations and forward movements
of the earth. The waves, meeting
with less resistance than from hard
substances farther in the interior,
were more rapid and jerky and
shook the surface with more VIC
lence. The presence of innumera-
BILE assures observable in the city
and country, as far as Summerviile
and beyond, is accounted for by
this same soft material yielding
rapidly TO the pressure of the earth s
waves, which pushed up the thin
crust and squeezed out, as it were,
the water and sand subject to pres.
sure. The blue sand and yellow
sand thus elected are found in
upper strata, and that it came from
near the surface is proven by the
fact that no mari is found in it, and
it begins from slxty-five TO ninety
feet below the surface and extends
nearly LOO feet deep.
"To show still more conclusively
that the wave motions were confin-
ed to very limited depth beneath
the surface, it is only necessary to
state that none Of the shallow OF
400-feet artesian wells are at all af
fected; nor is there any change no
ticeable in the flow or quality of
water from the two deep artesian
wells, as would have been the case
il the cause of the earthquake had
been local or deep seated. This
statement OF communication of land
waves to enormous distances is
fully verified by observations of pre-
yious earthquakes since and even
before the christian era. The alb
sence of tidal waves proves conclu-
sively that the cause of the distur-
bance was confined to land, and
the jerky motion communicated to
vessels, as reported by their officers,
was caused By vertical vibrations,
intermediate between the rapid for
ward transmission and slower back
ward Jerks"

Machine Organization.

We doubt very much the proprl-
ETY. of permanent democratic clubs.
The tendency is to develop machine
politics. A campaign club is kept
alive by enthusiasm and the whole
community is interested. If the
club is continued, only a few re-
main and they are developed into
bosses and machine leaders. The
masses will not retain membership
and the management inevitably
falls into the hands of the politi-
clans or smart fellows who have de-
signs on the offices, and the result
is ring rule. To foster machine pol
itics and to throw the management
of the party into the hands of the
bosses is to invite criticism and op-
position and bring the party into
disrepute and ultimate defeat. If
all the people would keep up sheir
membe rship and help run the clubs,
it would be good thing; but we all
know the masses will retain interest
only temporarily and let he man
agement lapse into the hands of the
politicians or the loafers. In the
proportion that such a club assumes
control of.party affairs and impinges
upon the duties of our regular com
mittees, just so far will its power
for harm and damage extend.
Tammany is kept together by the
cohesive power of public plumber.
There are millions of money being
continually sifted out to its mem
bers when in power. So with the
county democracy. The bosses
have supreme control. No instance
can be cited where organization
was maintained between canvasses
except it fell into the hands of the
bosses. There is not enough pa
tronage in the country to keep the
staid, solid old country democrats
sitting up nights organizing" with
the boys. These criticisms do not
apply to anything in particular in
Tennessee just yet, but we know
of designs" and we know of men
who are fine "machinists" and as
pire to boss. The people had bet
ter watch such organizations and
give them no power to act for the
party or control its calls or cenven-
lions or shape its policies or pur-
poses. Campaign clubs, to expire
when the election is over, meets ev-
cry necessity. Let's make our Bob
Taylor clubs powerful for good but
for this trip only.
