experience who have for many years
been successfully engaged i'll teaching.
Their school enjoys the confidence and
patronage of the public to gratifying
extent, and the students who have at
tended its sessions have given evidence
of careful and thorough training. In
addition to the educational facilities
afforded, the young ladies have the ad-
vantage of Christian home and their
surroundings are all that could be de-
sired. We trust that at the session
beginning on September 18th, there will
be large enrolment, and that under
its efficient management Vance Semi

Theatrical.
The principals of Henderson College
will give a theatrical entertainment at
Burwell Hall the last week in August.
They will be assisted byssome OF our
best local talent and an interesting
programme will be presented. The
object of the entertainment will be the
purchasing of desks for the college. The
principals have the money of course to
buy all the furniture needed without
this but knowing the people of the town
would gladly contribute to such an end,
and for the further purpose of becoming
better acquainted with our citizens this
course is adopted. The object is GER
tainly worthy one, and we think the
idea good one. We are quite sure
the people of Henderson will take adj
vantage of this means of showing their
appreciation of the undertaking these
ladies are about to engage in here, and
by their presence and encouragement
manifest cordial sympathy for the
future success of Henderson College.

excessive rates charged by the rail-
roads on all the commerce of our city
and county, both on imports and ex-
ports. Conservative men estimate
that we are fieeeed out of more than
q quarter of a million of dollars
annually, by reason of these ex-
cessive rates.
Nor does the damage stop there.
By reason of Columbia's geographical
location, we ought to-day to be doing
large wholesale business in every
line of commerce, but the high rates
of the railroads as effectualIy shut us
out of the business as if we had a
Chinese wall around us.
Opeleka, Ala, is nice little city Of
five or six thousand inhabitants, and
situated % miles from Columbus,
Ga, "a city of about $4,000 people.
Columbus is situated on a navigable
river, and for this reason was favored
and fostefed by the railroads-and to
the injury of Opeleka. just as Nash
vile North of us, and Birmingham
South of us, is favored by the rail-
roads to the injury of Columbia. The
business men of Opeleka got together,
appointed committee and laid their
grievances before the United States
Interstate Commerce Commission,
and in so days they we're enjoying
same rates as Columbus.
The law is plain aud the remedy is
speedy. 1t only requires united &C.
ton, prompt and vigorous, to inaugu-
rate new era in the progress and
prosperity of our people.

frequently occurred that Mugwumps
would be found representing Demo-
cratic districts, and both IN the county
aud State elections, because of some
personal dislike for some particular
candidate, would not only not take
the slightest interes in the ticket,
but in some instances have gone 80
far as to actually knife one or more of

This our plan proposes to prevent
by making up the committee just
after the nominees have been named,
so that no man unfriendly to a single
one of the nominees will find place
on the committee.

Facts and Figures.

Continuing the subject of railroad
Columbia, and the people of Maury,
we wish in this issue to present some
facts and figures to our readers that
we trust will arouse them to action.
Maury County produces annually
about three quarters of million OF
surplus wheat and corn, and for years
the wheat and corn of Maury has been
marketed at from to 10c per bushel
less than the wheat and corn raised
in Davidson County. To-day the
Davidson County farmer can sell his
corn at ASS per bushel, while the
Maury County farmer gets only 35 to
81 cents per bushel for his corn.
They are compelled to sell their
wheat, corn, oats, cotton, hogs, cattle,
mules and horses, for much less than
his neighbor and competitor who
lives in Davidson County. Most Of
the surplus OF both Davidson and
Maury counties find a market in the
states South of US. Columbia is near
ly fifty miles nearer the Southern
markets than Nashville, and under
the Interstate Commerce law Co
Iumbia should at least have equal
rates to all points South. b 1T such
is not the case. Under the tariff of
the Nashville and Chattanooga rail-
road the Columbia mills and shippers
are practically shut out of the market
of the CarOlinas aud north and GEN.
trail Georgia, while Nashville mills
and shippers readily reach every por-
ton of that territory with reasonable
rates.
But let us itemize a little. Rates
on domestic coal from the Darlington
coal mines to Nashville is 4c per
busheI. Rates from same mines to
Columbia is s 2-5c per bushel, and
vet Nashville CLAIMS that the l. q n
Railroad is giving Louisville aud
Memphis still lower rates than they
give Nashville. Take -four. The l.
& n. Railroad hauls from any Ohio
river city a barrel of -four to Nash
Vile for 1Oc per 100ibs; to Huntsville,
Ala, for I9c per 100 lbs; to Mobile for
zoe; while charging from same cities
to Columbia 2Sc per l00lbs. Nash
vile can ship barrel of potatoes to
Savannah, Ga, or Jacksonville,
Florida, for BE per 100lbs, while it
cost the Columbia shipper Ale per
lOOlbs. Sugar from New Orleans to
Nashville is zoe per I0Olbs (and goes

New Orleans to Columbia is SIC per
IOOlbs. Wheat and corn bought by
Maury county millers from Ohio
River points to be ground aud con-
sumed in Maury county, cost the
Maury county miller 1-5c per bushel

miller.

Mr.. Speaker Crisp.

On the Both ballot of the Demo-
cratic Congressional caucus Mr.. Crisp,
of Georgia, was nominated for
Speaker of the 50 Congress. With
the overwhelming Democratic ma
jor1ty in the Lower House of Con-
gress, this was, of course, equivalent
to an election to the honored and
much coveted position, and he now
Yields the gavel but lately relin-
pushed by the unlamented Reed.
Long live Mr.. Speaker Crisp! He
was not the HERALD's first choice,
but the interests of Democracy and of
the country are safe in his hands.
We preferred Mr.. Mills; because his
candidacy embodied in it's most Wig
orous and undated form the princi-
pie of tariff reform, which must in
evitab'y be the paramount issue in
the next Presidential race.
Mr.. Mills was the author of the
tariff reduction bill which bore his
name, and was recognized as its most
prominent exponent. To have nomi-
mated him would have emphasized
the attitude of Democracy on the
great issue; but the fact that he was
not nominated does not mean that
the party is making any retrograde
movement on the question, for, while
not so prominent as Mr.. Mills in the
LATHE for tariff reduction, Mr.. CRISP
was no less pronounced in his views
on the subject, and did valiant SER
vice for the right. To quote from his
own lips, his Election does not mean
any step backward in the movement
against protection"
Mr.. Crisp possesses in an eminent
degree those powers and personal
qualities for which the position of
Speaker call. He is a man of
splendid ability, long parliamentary
experience, and that calm tempera-
ment and suare manner so necessary
to presiding officer. He fills the
place in the government second only
in power to the President, and we
doubt not that he will fill it well.
Following the despotic and detested
Reed, he has rare opportunity to do
himself and his party honor by way
of contrast.
If it were possible to conceive Crisp
as brutality tyrannical "a Reed, t. the
minority, he could not have the re-
hottest temptation to exercise his de-
spOtism on them. The Democratic
OoQ 70 tho PannbJioon 90 in tho HOuGa
makes the latter crowd more a sub
ject for mingled feelings of pity or
contempt, than hostility. The
Speaker will have to protect them
more than to repress them.
They can pass nothing, they can
prevent nothing. If every one of
them, with their Alliance allies,
should become alarmed at the re-
bellious utterances of some "rebel
and all leave their seats at
once, they could not even clog the
wheels of that Democratic House by
breaking quorum. They will be
more seen than felt. They simply
serve to fill space. Reed, with his
three hundred and sixty pounds of
fat and his eighty-twO inch belly
band, takes up room; but further
than this, TOmmie, with his tattered
band, are not Gin it." They can eat
and drink and draw their salaries,
and after all, what higher
is there or can there be for
despised Republican?

A Pure Baking Powder.

A baking powder that can be de-
pended upon to be free from lime and
alum is desideratum in these days OF
adulterated food. So far as can be
Judged from the official reports, the
Royal" seems to be the only one yet
found by chemical analysis to be en-
tirely without one or the other of these
substances, and absolutely pure. This,
il is shown, results from the exclusive
use by its manufacturers of cream OF
tartar specially refined and prepared
by patent processes which totally re-
purities. The cost of this chemically
pure cream of tartar is much greater
than any other, and 1t is used in no
baking powder except the "Royal," the
manufacturers of which control the
patents under which 1t is refined.
DIR. Edward G. Love, formerly analy-
tical chemist for the u. s. Government,
who made the analysis for the New
York State Board of Health in their in
vestigation of baking powders, and
whose intimate knowledge of the in
gradients of all those sold in this
market enables him to speak authorita-
lively, says of the purity, wholesome
ness, and superior quality OF the
"Royal:"
al find the Royal Baking Powder
composed of pure and wholesome in
gradients. It is a cream of tartar
powder, and does not contain either
alum or phosphaLes, or other Injurious
substance"
Prof. Loves tests, and the recent Off
cial tests by both the United States and
Canadian Governments, show the
Royal Baking Powder to be superior to
all others in strength and leavening
power. 1t is not only the most eco
finest favored and most wholesome
food.
