WAYS OF TALKING TARIFF.
The Story that Col. Lester Told up IL
Scriven County.

The Story that Col. Lester Told up in
Scriven County.
Hon. Rufus E Lester spoke at Sylvania
a few days ago, After talking for a while
ON the general principles of government he
of necessity discussed the tariff question,
prefacing his remarks by telling OF certain
man who had friend at dinner with him,
who was very uncomplimentary and insult
ing in hisremarks concerning his hosts wife
and various other things. But, restrained
by the sacred laws Of hospitality, the host
bore it all patiently until at last his guest
asked his opinion ON the tariff question.
That was too much for the good-natured
host and he went for his guest and beat him
severely. The case was brought before the
courts and when the defendant told the
cause of the attack he was acquitted on the
grounds of justification.
Col. Lester said that he would not ask his
hearers their opinions, but if they would
promise to come no nearer, he would tel
them his. For over an hour, the Watch
man says, he discussed III a clear manner
the present system of taxation and the
reform proposed by the Democratic party
showing now false is the cry of the repub-
licap manufacturers when they declare that
they want protection for the benefit of
American workngmen. The tariff, he
said, is a question of practical legislation,
and it will require the highest kind of
courage and the highest kind of statesman
ship, to 50 discriminate and distribute the
TAX so that no interests will suffer. Col.
Lester is a convincing speaker, and the
Waterman adds that he will be one of the
strongest pillars Of the democracy in the
Fiji first congress.

ON RAIL AND OROssTIH.
Local an1 General Gossip in Railway
Circlea

f. t. Charlton, travelling passenger agent
of the Central railroad, is in Cincinnati.
Supt. Hege of the Central railroad re-
turned from Macon yesterday.
G. i. Marvin, roadmaster of the Central
railroad, returned yesterday from trip to
Atlanta.
A recent gathering of railroad officials in
Columbia-not the meeting of the directors
Of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
railroad day before yesterday-the Augusta
Chronicle says, is said to have no other OBJ
ject in view but a consolidation of lines in
opposition to the Terminal system, in which
proposed consolidation Augusta is one of
the points with which connection is tn be
provided The gathering was principally
of officials of the Charleston, Cincinnati
aud Chicago railroad and OF the Rob
inson Seaboard Air Line, known as
the Georgia, Carolina and Northern.
The former, from Ashland, KY, to Charles
ton, with the Augusta division from Blacks,
s. c., to this city, has 200 miles of road
completed the larger portion of which is in
operation. The Robinson property is pro
jected and being constructed from Monroe,
N. c., to Atlanta, Ga. and is now in opera
ton from Monroe to Chester, 3. c., almost
paralleling the Richmond and Danville
through North Carolina and South Caro-
lima. Nothing definite is known Of the con-
ference, but it is reported that the officials
are to confer with the cities interested in
order to secure the financial aid TO hurry
the completion of the competing line.

THE WAY THEY DO IN DooLY.
Cordele, the Birmingham of the Pines,
on a Boom


Col. s. II. Hawkins of Americas, was in
the city yesterday he said that Americas
with her present railroad and river facili-
ties is going to outstrip all other Southwest
Georgia cities She has more railroads to
build yet, and it will not be a great while
before they will be built, giving her advan-
tages over many of her larger sisters.
Americas is the cotton center OF Southwest
Georgia, and this season the receipts will be
very large. In fact Americas has her hands
full of business.
Col Hawkins is just from Cordele, Dooly
county, on the Americas, Preston and
Lumpkin railroad thirty-ive miles from
Americas, and about the same distance
from Abeville. The Georgia, Florida and
Southern railroad crosses the Americas,
Preston and Lumpkin railroad at Cordele,
and an application for a charter
will be made at the next session
Of the legislature for the building
of a road from Cordele to Brunswick, dis
lance of 1875 miles, the line to be known as
the Cordele, Waynesville and South Bruins
wick railroad. Col. Hawkins said that
there is also talk of short line from
HawkinsYille to Cordele. The little town,
he said, is enjoying a boom. Within the
past few months the population has in
creased from not over 100 to between 600
anu iUO. L eOple are WOTAluS llho DcuNcfSs
and are erecting large and handsome brick
buildings. An Americas firm Is putting up
large brick building there and will shortly
start a bank in Cordele with a capital of
$50 900. A newspaper will be started soon.
and the quiet country home of Joe Brown
will have taken on city airs,
"Cordele is the Birmingham of the pines,n
said Col. Hawkins. "Of course, the little
town has enough recommendation when it
is known that it is in Dooly county. The
northern and western portion Of Cordele's
territory is fine farming country. and the
southern and eastern portions is the finest
timbered country in the world You see
there has been no timber cut off the lands
since the settlement of the country. There
were no railroads running through that
portion of the state prior to the building of
the lines which have recently given
such an impetus to the business of
that part of the country. Large
saw mills are being put up in and around
Cordele. Two or three manufacturing
establishments have also been started
Planning mills, molding mills and workshops
are being quilt, and have given employ
ment to numbers of people,"
Col Hawkins said that Cordele is called
the country home of Joe Brown because dur
the war when the governor evacuated
Milledgville ne hied himself to Dooly
county and lived several years
where Cordele is now situated. The resi-
dence which he occupied still remains
and is a rather historic structure. Up TO
few months ago it was the only house in the
settlement Col. Hawkins calls COrdele the
daughter of Americas and Americusians are
proud of the booming little city.

From the AtLanta (Gn.l Journal.

One thing is very noticeable in Atlanta's
population, especially that part of it which
is the city's life, present and future-the
young men.
They are Atlanta men now, heart, body
and soul But few years, perhaps a few
months ago. they were citizens of Augusta
Savannah, Macon. Charleston, or other
cities around this commercial Mecca.
A gentleman recently from the southern
coast, and well acquainted with the lower
southern cities, remarked to q Journal re-
porter this morning that he was aston,shed
to find SO many familiar faces among the
young business men OF Atlanta. These
faces were familiar to him, not from seeing
them in Atlanta. but from seeing them in
these other cities but a short while ago.
The same observation was made by gen
tleman from Charleston, and one from
Augusta, who had met in the rotunda.of the
Kimball
There are more Of these young men here
than one would think
Charleston has contributed more than q
dozen, some of them already more promi-
nent and prosperous in business than the old
city gave promise of permitting.
Augusta has given perhaps more. Savan-
nah is well represented, and Macon, too.
These men come here and stay. They
come because of two things, wider fields OF
enterprise and better showing for young
men. The same two things keep them
here.
Atlanta is no longer, strictly speaking, a
Gate City" She receives but she doe
not send away. The tide of the best life
which flows hither remains here. 1t doe.

fered with by the Terminal Deal
General Manager Belknap, of the Central
railroad. left last night for Louisville. KY,
where he goes to join his family, who
have been visiting there, and he will return
with them next Tuesday.
Before leaving the city Maj. Belknap was
asked if. since the Terminal Company has
obtained control, there has been any sus-
pension Of the work inaugurated prior to
the deal He said that there has been no
change in policy. The work is being pushed
forward, he said, on the Columbus and
Buena Vista extension, and it is
expected that it will be completed
by Jan. l. 1889, and ready to be operated
about that time or in a very few days there
after. Maj. Belknap said that beyond the
contract OF the grading of five miles
of the Eden aud Americas extension
near Eastman, and the section west
ward from Eden, there has been no
letting of that road. The surveys have
not been completed, but they are still being
pushed forward. There has been no change
In the policy OF the company since it has
company said he.
"How are freights nowr' Maj. Belknap
was asked.
They are picking up some. The floods
and quarantine have tended to shorten cot
ton receipts, and we are considerably be-
hind last year. but | think we will catch
up, but probably not until the latter part Of
the season. Our steamships are going out
with good cargces, and the prospects are
most favorable for an increased business ON

FOR TARIFF REFORM.
An nlinoisan Writes to a Savannah

An Illinoisan Writes to a Savannah
Friend About the Groundwork.
Hello! you newspaper man, if you are
looking for an item, here's a good one"
said a merchant on the Bay yesterday to a
MORNING News reporter. The merchant
handed the reporter letter from friend
in Illinois, who writes that at the close of
the war, when the writer returned home
from the army, at the first general election
thereafter, there were but three demo-
cratic votes in his township, and the county
was Overwhelmingly republican, but that
this year, in his township, there is uni
formed Cleveland club of 235 members, and
he says that the county will give Cleveland
and Thurman majority between 600 and
700.
The gentleman says that there
seems to be no doubt of the
election Of Palmer, the democratic
candidate for governor, bu the state will be
close between Cleveland and Harrison. He
says there are great many Republicans
hocking to the democracy who say that
they are much more interested in reduc-
tion Of the tariff on their farm Implements
and the necessities Of life, and free trade
for their butter and farm products than
they are in free whisky. He thinks that
Illinois will surprise the people, as tariff
reform is very popular throughout state
which principally depends on agriculture.
He thinks the democrats have a better
chance Of carrying Wisconsin than Michi-

Going After His Vessel.

w. Gems left for Charleston last night,
where he goes to recover the sloop-rigged
vessel "Nellie," stolen from this port a
month ago to-day by the one-armed
mulatto Singleton, who Is in Jail at Charles
ton. He also took with him a warrant for
Singleton. whom he will bring back with
him if Singleton will come without a
requisition. Mr.. Gems will sail his vessel
back himself. He says that the thieves
changed the name Of his boat to the Laura
c., change not expensive to them, as
they found plenty Of paint and brushes in
the boats locker The boat cost Geus $780,
and he says he makes from $3.50 TO $500
month with her. He has hunted for her in all
the neighboring waters. A white man is
suspected OF instigating the theft of
the boat. Singleton admits that the
principal is white man, who left him in
the lurch. Singleton is said to be half
witted negro.
