A Strife Stirrer.

For The CITIZEN.
In the American of the 23rd /
read the purport of speech by Mr.
Bailey, one OF the executive com
mlttee OF the X. of L. Mr.. Bailey
deplores the ignorance of the south
ern lahorer and tells him he ought
not to be contented with the pres
ent state of things and advises him
to strike and bring the capitalists
to terms.
Who Is this Bailey? Nothing but
we'll paid travelling loafer going
about stirring up strife. He is com
munist, anarchist and loafer COM
olned. He is an Ohioan and is pos
sessed with all the deviltry of that
devilish, meddlesome class. The
mechanics and laborers of the south
do not want strikes but employ
ment. The Nashville mechanics
did themselves honor in staying
away from the hall when this bla-
tsnt blatherskite delivered himself
of that hot nonsensical harrangue
Tennessee is no place to breed and
propagate anarchy. If our laborine
people are ignorant they are honest
and too well posted to be led by
such a humbug as w. H. Bailey
from Ohio. MECHANIC.

work. The ground has been staked

work. The ground has been staked
off and the work begun.
The Louisville u Nashville com
pany are pushing their works rap
idly. These two enterprises alone
need 10000 men to operate them,
directly or Indirectly, and they
alone make a city of $4,000 popu-
lation. =
Another huge plant of this char
acter is about to be located there
which we are not at liberty to spec
ify. The three together make the
largest aggregation of car works IN
the south and insure a population
of 25, 900.
Add the people brought there to
operate the other manufacturing
concerns and it easily appears that
city is inevitable, even leaving out
of consideration all the other inf1u-
ences and efforts that brought mat
tiers to where they are.
All that is needed is time to
bridge over the mud with Giles
county limestone and build houses
out of Giles county lumber. Oui
people are furnishing these things
in large quantities, as well as men
to work them up. You would be
surprised to see how many familiar
faces you would see there. The
day is not far distant when Deca-
tur's mouth will be turned towards
Giles, like a young bird, begging to
be fed. The times are ripening FOL
us as we'll as them and we will be
wise to see it in advance and profit
by it. You not only meet Giles
county men down there at work, but
you stumble up on them here and
there looking at lots and iDquirine
the price of stocks. Men are lit
tie modest about such things and dc
not like to be caught specializing
and we will not give them away
They slip down there and invest
and slip out easily. And we have
known several of them to slip away
with big profits. Men go down
there to see whether the Munchau-
sen tales told of Decatur have any
foundation in fact, and they come
back and go to work preparing
Giles county to reap her share oil
the fruits of the unprecedented up
heaval.
The farmers warehouse now in
cubating is the product of this state
of affairs. If The CITIZEN shall by
Its persistency work Giles county
into line and by helping to built
cities south Of US create communi
ties of consumers to eat our TRUCK
at good prices, it will have done a:
great a work for its people as s
newspaper can do. That is our OBJ
ject.
In the meantime 60 to Decatur
and see for yourselves.
