The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1888-08-07

In the interests OF the public it some
times becomes necessary for newspaper
men to make midnight visits to the resi-
dences Of citizens and ruthlessly disturb
their slumbers. An APPEAL reporter had
an experience of that sort last night with
no less a parsonage than Zach Taylor, late
Republican candidate for sheriff.
Conflicting rumors were fife all
day yesterday as to whether Zach
Taylor would contest Mclendon's
election or not. Notwithstanding the
positive announcement in Yesterdays Ar.
PEAL that Mr.. Taylor had concluded to
abandon contest proceedings there were
still doubling ThomaSes who questioned
the accuracy Of the ArPEALs information.
The fact that Taylor was out OF the city
gave rise to the rumor that he had gone to
Brownsville TO get an injunction there. An
evening paper interviewed the attorneys in
the case and theydenied all knowledge OF the
fact that the contest would be abandoned.
This gave rise to the rumor that Mr.. Taylor
had reconsidered and would contest after
all. Last night he returned from Mason,
Tenn, where he had been visiting his
family, but the APPEAL did not learn oi
his arrival until after midnight. A re-
porter wa, At once dispatched 10

Laying a Railroad Track.

The track of railway Is never done
It Is always wearing out and always be
ing replaced Some of the early English
engineers. not appreciating this, endeav
ored to lay down solid stone walls coped
with stone cut to smooth surface, on
which they laid their rails They called
this permanent way" as distinguished
from the temporary track OF rails end
cross ties Used by contractors in building
the lines But experience soon showed
that the temporary track. If supported by
a bed of broken stone. always kept itself
drained and was always elastic, and re
manned in much better order than the
more expensive so called permanent
way When the increase in the weight
of our rolling stock began to take place
dating from about 1870 iron rails were
found to be wearing out very fast.
Some railway men declared that the
railway system had reached its full de
velopment But in this world the supply
generally equals the demand When a
thing is very much wanted. it is sure to
come. sooner or later The process Of
making steel invented by and named
after. Henry Bessemer. of England, and
perfected by A L. Holley. of this coun-
try, gave us steel rail which at the pres
ent time costs less than one of iron, and
has a life of FIVE OF six times as long
even under the heavy loads Of today
We are now approaching very near the
limit of what the rail will carry. while
the joints are becoming less able to do
their duty.-Thomas Curtis Clarke In

How to Prolong Life

We all condemn the suicide, but we fail
to see that the voluntary shortening OF
the natural term of existence is nothing
else than slow suicide Instead of fixing
our minds on the infirmities which the old
age of an i'll spent life sometimes exhibits.
and for shat reason desplsing and decry
ing old age itself. it would be far more
noble and manly course to nourish the
natural desire of life. and to strive. in all
righ,ful ways to iengthen it as much as
possible Especially is this advisable be-
cause the same course which tends to pro
long life also tends TO improve and
strengthen it.
Activity. without overwork. healthful
living. moderation. self control, the due
exercise of all the faculties, the cultiys-
tion of the reason, the judgment and the
will, the nurture of kindly feelings. and
the practice of doing good-all things. in
fact. which tends to build up noble
manhood-also prepare the way to a long
life and happy and blessed old age
