AN UNWARRANTED AND UNOALLED
FOR INSULT.

The Odessa Herald, so far, is alone in
its advocacy OF Hon. John l.. Peak, OF
Jackson county, for congressman from
this district. Is Mr.. Peak not accepta-
BILE to the other democratic papers i'll
the ounty?-[Register.
They will speak as soon as they hear
the whistle from their bosses Odessa
Herald.
The Herald displays very little judg-
ment, it seems to us, in permitting a
republican jibe to lead it into offering a
direct insult to its democratic contem-
poraries. The other newspapers can
defend themselves we know, and for
the I%ntelligencer we have this to say,
that humble and inefficient as we may
be in our work no man in Lafayette
county, be he congressional aspirant OF
what not, has ever yet felt himself big
enough to assume to dictate to us what
we should say or do. This is a mild
reply. The offensive language would
justify a harsh one. We like Mr.. Peak
very much,a and when we get ready may
say so, but an attempt to bulldoze us into
doing so won't help the matter any.
Our contemporary at H~igginsville the
Post, has not responded to our PROPOSE
ton to take a thousand of its silver
dollars at its own quotation. Is this
because it has concluded that its silver
dollars are really worth more than II
cents, or can 1t be because it can't scare
up the dollars? If it has been endeav-
oring of late to make its financial opin-
ions good by its acts, we should not be
surprised to learn that it was about
ready to go to the poorhouse. How
ever, we are agin' any such consum-
nation as that, out of pride for the
craft.

RETURN OF DELEGATES,
GeOrgia's Representatives in tin
National Convention II a II 9

GeOrgias Representatives in the
National Convention Il. A. b. s.
Messrs. NJ. J. Dooner and T. B. Gather
wood, the Georgia delegates to the Ma
tional Convention of Catholic Total Alb
stinence Societies, returned home yester-
day. They report most harmonious ses-
sions. Delegates were present from all
sections OF the country, Archbishop
Elder of Cincinnati, and Bishop Ireland
of St. Paul, being OF the num-
Der. The Savannah delegates were given
liberal share of honOrs, Mr.. Gather
wood being on Committee on Credentials
and Committee on Resolutions, and Mr..
DOoner on the Committee on ConstItu-
tiOnal Amendments, besides being elected
Provincial Vice President. At public
meeting held on Wednesday night botn
gentlemen were among the speakers.
Mr. DOoner delivered neat and
appropriate address, and Mr.. Gather
wood gave the present results of the
temperance movement In Georgia, aud
closed with strong appeal to the union
TO hold its next convention in Savannah,
and thus inspire Catholic temperance
workers 10 greater activity. An invita-.
ton was formally extended the union at
its regular session to come to Savannah
in 1887, but Philadelphia was chosen.
The chances are very strong that
this city will be honored in 1888, a large
number ct the delegates being favorably
impressed by the arguments OF the Savan-
nah representatives. The ONO delega-
lions, with large numbers OF those from
Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan, were
especially favorable to visiting the South.
aud an energetic delegation from Sayan-
nah next year can settle the matter iu the
right way.

IN THE RAILWAY WORLD.
Items Gathered Along tho Track
and Crossties.

Eleven railroads were Incorporated IN
the the United States last week.
During 1885 about 8, 900 miles of railroad
were constructed in the United States.
The total mileage OF railways in the
United States may now be taken at about
800 miles.
The construction of the Cascade tunnel,
on the line OF the Northern Pacific rail-
way, has been commenced. 1t VIII De
1850 feet in length, and next to the HooSac
the longest railroad tunnel In America.
The building of inland canals has on
this continent nearly ceased, as railroad
transportation, although more expensive,
insures greater regularity and dispatch,
and is not subject TO stoppage during
winter, as are our northern canals. Canal
work is now almost entirely confined to
deepening and widening the existing
lines.
The Midland Railway Company, which
within the last few years have absorbed
more than one parish in North London in
the construction of their metropolitan ter
minal stations and other works, are now
engaged IN the construction of a gigantic
merchandise depot at ST. Pancras, which,
it is stated, will be the largest and the
most costly railway goods station in the
world.
Projects are on foot for several new AL
pine tunnels; among them, for tunnel
under Mont Blanc, which is to he twelve
miles in length, and under the Simplon,
which is TO be twelve and a half miles
long. But a prediction has been based on
the experience gained on other Alpine
tunnels, that the heat in the central por-
ton OF the Simplon tunnel would prove
80 great as to make human life impos-
sible.
The greatest activity in any branch of
civil engineering during the past year
seems TO have prevailed in bridge con-
struction. Quite number of important
bridges have been completed, among them
the bridges across the Susquehanna, on
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, 6,315 feet
ia length, and having four spans OF 4S0
feet and one of 500 feet; the Henderson
bridge, across the Ohio river, 1920 feet in
length, with one span of 525 feet; and the
st. Johns river cautiever, 447 feet be-
tween piers, and the bridge across the
Big Black river.

A Terrible Cutting Afrav

Kentucky has earned for herself a reputa-
ton for bloody deeds that has been unsur-
passed, but Savannah can now plume herself
as no mean rival of the Bourbon State.
cutting affair took place near the market this
week that for deliberate coolnees is beyond
comparison with any past experience 1t ls
true there was some provocatiOn and several
reasons for the onslaught, but opponents of
the parties who did the cutting are greatly
excited over 1t. When dull times and a desire
for room for an approaching season cont Ine
the fearful cutting Of Messrs. b. II. Lew q
Bro, the Palace Clothers 1911 Congress
streets opposite the market, is hailed with
delight y public always open to bargains
and the manuer in which these gentlemen
have cut and h"cSed up prices of summer
clothing, underwear, hosiery nd straw hats
is CORY beyond description. Their summer
stock must co. however, and as long as they
condue themselves to simply cutting prices
no harm can be done. The moral OF this
"saturnIne reyel' l. that low prices and good
clothing rule this roost at

Mapy MeIons Ihis Year.

Mr.. George w. Haines, the Assistant
superinte ndent of the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway Company, is known
as the watermelon authority Of that road.
The crop this year has been very good, he
says, and prices were fair. In South
Georgia and Florida the acreage was
about the same as 10 1885. No attempt
has been made yet TO estimate how many
melons have been handled this season
The crop is still coming in, but will soon
peter out. A great many Carolina grow
ers shipped to Savannah this year be-
cause they could not get Boston steamer
at Charleston.

ELECTRIC TRAMWAYS.
Advantages of the Storage Batteries
for Operating.

Advantages of the Storage Batteries
for Operating.
Cable tramways were first used in San
Francisco in the year 1878; in New Zea-
land. 1880; Chicago, 1882! London, Eng,
1884; Melbourne, Philadelphia and Kan
sas City in 1885; and during the present
year in New York and st. Louis. For
snort lines this system has many advan-
tages, but for long lines the use Of some
other motor Will probably be found more
economical.
Electricity, for several years, has been
in use for operating city and suburban
tramways. There are different methods
of carrying the electric current from the
central station to the cars. In almost
every case separate conductor is used,
either overground, as at Berlin, Baltimore
aud Giants CausewaY, or in slotted con-
dults similar to those used On cable tram
ways, but of smaller dimensions, as at
Cleveland and on the Blackpool line.
Electric tramways have been tested dur
Ing the year or are now in
progress of construction at Toronto,
New Orleans, Minneapolis, Detroit, Mont
gomery, Ala, Denver, Col, Appleton, Wis.
Different from these systems is that OF
keckenzaun, who carries the electricity
for operating the motor along with the car
in strong battery. This system is now
being tried at Battersea, Eng. If storage
batteries can be constructed, which, be-
sides being light and durable, will re-
turn fair percentage of the amount of
the power used in charging them, this sys-
TEN would give promise Of great economy
and convenience.

THE GROWING COTTON.
General Improvement Noted in tn
Atlantic States.


Bradstreeps telegraphic reports of the
growing cotton for last week indicate that
the weather in the eastern half OF the cot
ton belt was generally favorable to the
growth of the plant, and an improvement
is reported from nearly all the states IN
this section. Shedding, rust and worms
are reported in Alabama, but the damage
so far does not appear to be serious. In
Texas the weather is dry and hot, and
where not helped by local rains some
shedding Is reported. General conditions
as yet, however, appear good. louisiana
and Arkansas report the crop progressing
we'll.
Below are some OF the dispatches pub
lished:
Eatonton, Ga.-Weather good since last
report, and suitable for the growing plant;
seasonable showers continue and plant
developing fruit rapidly; no complaint OF
worms or shedding.
La Grange, Ga.-Cotton two or three
weeks late; gaining rapidly on red lands,
but on sandy lands not doing so well; rust
has made its appearance.
Perry, Ga.-Have had rains, and cot
ton, where not too old and hard, growing
and fruiting well; with late fall we can
hope for three-fourths of an average crop,
but it will have to be late.
Rome, Ga.-CrOp late and plant small;
prospect improves, and fair crop possible.
Rain was wanted badly at Charlotte, n.
c., and planters were discouraged. At
GOldsbOro and Raleigh the general con-
dition of the crop improved during the
week. At WadesbOro the plant was doing
fairly well, although rain was needed. At
Bennettsville, S. O., the weather was IA
YOraDle, and the cotton was blooming and
truitlng well, but on light land it is a iail
ure.
Montgomery, Ala, reported gradual
Improvement in the crop prospects. AT
Selma the crop was progressing well, al
though caLerplllars were becoming nu-
merous and threatening. Around Troy
there was some shedding, ana worms
were reported in several places. The crop
was doing we'll.
At COrinth, Miss, rains had increased
the prospects and an average crop is eX-
pected. At Grenada the cotton is develop
ing nicely. Too much rain was reported
from Greenville. Vicksburg planters do
not expect as good yield as they had
last year. AT West Point the outlook was
fair.
Shreveport, La, reported river lands
not truiting well. Hill cotton was doing
well. Worms we're general. The season
was favorable at Alexandria.
COrsicana, Marshall, Palestine and
Paris, Texas, made favorable reports.
Around Galveston and San Antonio the
crop was not doing so well.
