His Contract.
NEW DIRK. April II Thousands of per
sons kept their eyes on the big chimney of
the Clark thread works, Mt Kcarney, Thurs
day morning. At 7:l9 O'Clock Philips placed
the last ladder, an iron one, in position, and
climbed over the great bell and collar to the
top of the chimney. On reaching the top he
waved one hand and wild cheer arose from
the assembled watchers. While he was
raising the iron ladder, seven or eight devout
old women stood against the fence of the
Mile-end mill, adjoining, and prayed loudly
for his safety and that of his family, some
of them telling their beads with nervous
fingers as they watched him.

There are but few subjects to which
we warm more kindly than hog and
hominy. It once had its habitat in
this section; in fact it is almost cosmo-
politan. it can exist in every cline,
but the true home of hog and hominy
is in this delightful region. Before
the war, in those good old days when
peace and plenty cheered the laboring
swain in this God favored cline, the
hog received distinguished attention.
The glorious reports of the maturing
large corn crop of this section con-
jures up pictures that are colored by
the recollection of the past. There
was time when southwest Georgia
was noted for being the greatest pro-
vision country Of the south. It was
the Egypt of the south during the
dark days Of the war between the
states.
Its granaries were as full as the
cemented wheat bins of Egypt in Jo-
seph's time, and meat and corn were
hauled from here in long trains that
daily went to supply the needs Of tho
army of the Potomac and the west
ern army. Notwithstanding the drain
upon our resources, they were not ex-
hausted, but the cessation of hostilities
found us with corn and porken in
great abundance. Plantations not
comprising more than 800 acres killed.
after the war, as many as 400 hogs.
Under the altered condition of things
our planters did not believe it possible
to raise their own meat, and wholly
neglected one of the best industries we
had, and the consequence has been
that wo have had our smoke house liz
the west ever since and we make q
large annual contribution to the pros
perity of the west. Fully 200 cars of
western meat are annually received in
Albany and consumed within the
limits of its territory. That amounts
to the enormous tax Of $500, O00.-Al-

INTERESTING CULLINGS.
A Century Of Progress.

a C0ntuxy OF Progress.
Only . century ago charcoal iron
was produced to the extent of about
SO, 600 tons yearly; twenty years later
the product was but So, 900 tons. Even
Great Britain in 1888 produced only
IS, 800 tons-not so much as some fur
naces in the United States now turn
out yearly. The manufacture Of steel
was just beginning in the States;
twenty years later only 917 tons were
produced in the country. The coarsest
pig iron then cost about as much as
steel rails do now. Last year the
American product of pig iron was
$3.50, 739 tons, and the highest price of
best foundry pig was $2l a ton. The
numbers 1850, 600, and the best price
$31. A single American railway
now buys more iron than both Great
Britain and the United States made a
century ago. There were neither rail-
ways, iron bridges nor buildings; no
petroleum pipes, for there was no
petroleum; no gas pipes, Cor there was
no gas lighting even in E.rcPe until
later.
Washington lived in an age of dark
ness; instead of the electric light the
people had candles costing about two
cents apiece. In all the departments
and applications of chemistry the CEN
fury has simply created a new world.
American pressed glass, which has
completely revolutionized the supply
of table and house ware, is an inven-
ton Of the last sixty years. Farming
in Washington's day knew nothing OF
machinery; even the first iron pillow,
patented in 1897, was a failure, for
New Jerusalem farmers thought it
poisoned the soil. Mowers, reapers
and harvesters began to be invented
about the same time, and even the Or
binary implements were such as it
would not now be thought possible to
use. The steamboat was practically
unknown, and the railway entirely
