WHAT A CONTR ST.
Georgia Railroad and Bale of Cot
ton Fifty-f1ve Years Ago.

~ 0OOA y ~ AetSAA1 OdQ anu u d Ale Cot
ton Fifty-f1ve Years Ago.
From the FIotoery Brunch (Ga) Journal.
Sone t1fty-fve or six years ago a charter
was granted to a company in Georgia called
the Monroe Railroad and Banking Com
panv.
They started to build a railroad from
Macon. iathe direction of Atlanta. They
ucceeded In grading the road where
Griffin Is now there was not much there
them, and laying the track and running the
train to Barnesville.
Under the financial pressure of the
crash" OF 1887 the bank broke and opera
tons on the road building was suspended,
The reason why l remember it so distinctly,
about all the money in circulation in that
section was on that bank, and about all the
money "the boy" had was also on that
bank, 80 You may imagine l felt 1t very
keenly, and have not forgotten it vet.
Griffin being little trading point and
anxious for railroad facilities prevailed on
the company to lay down wooden stringers
and run train to Griffin for their accom-
mediation, the motive power to drive or pull
this train being five stout mules. 1t was a
novel sight, in those days, to see that train
leave, loaded with round cotton bales.
Some or you never saw a round bale Of
cotton. Let me tell you how they we're
packed. There is a hole cut through the
Clubhouse floor, the bagging is sewed to-
gether at the edges and two yards long.
One end Is sewed up and a hoop sewed
to the other end, then dropped through
the hole In the floor, the hoop Just
catching on the floor, the sack sus-
pended under the Clubhouse. The darky
would fill the sack with lint and with crow.
bar in hand would jump in and pack it
down with the crowbar, repeating the
operation until filed, keeping the bagging
wet on the outside so as to pack it tight, I
forgot to say that handful of cotton seed
is tied up In each corner to make Tugs to lift
it by. When filed It was cut down. sewed
up and was ready for market The usual
weight was about 800 pounds A good
hand would pack two bales a day.
The mule train was run for several years
and was an important factor in the frat
building up Of Griffin. At length the Mons
roe railroad was sold by the sheriff. at
Aeoulon and bought by a company who
| changed the name to the Macon and West-
ern, and completed the road to Atlanta as
quick as money and labor could do it.

GEORGIA POLITICS.

The GAINESVILLE Gazette suggests that
Monroe's congressional candidates, Coils.
Berner and Cabaniss, and Whitfield of
Baldwin. aud Bartlett of Bib, be invited
to address their prospective constitutions at
an early day, at Barnesville discussing the
issues before the people.
IL wasrumored that J. c. Brinklev. a
colored school teacher of Greensboro, would
offer for congress in that distant. Brinklev
says that such an intention never entered
his mind, that he is not politician at all
either democrat republican, or third party
and could never be induced to run for
any office.
The third party, about 300 strong, met at
the court house ut Lawrenceville met Satur-
day. Maj. r. D. VIM, father of Congress
man Thomas E, VIM, presided over the
meeting. j. L. Chupp of DeKalb, made a
speech OF two hours, which was followed
by Maj W. r. Simmons, who was called
on by the democratic element present. He
made good democratic speech over the
protest of the third party people. Thomas
E. Winn ID undoubtedly the choice of the
third party of this county which was
witnessed by a unanimous vote on his in
dorsement. Tan Nash or DeKalb also
made speech. Delegates were elected for
the several conventions. 1t is the inten-
ton OF the party to draw the line in county.
state aud national politics.

The schooner Hardee left Titu svile for
Biscayne several days ago with passengers
| and freight. 1t was detained at Jupiter on
| account OF low water on the bar. On the
last trip up it made the fastest time ever
made between Titusville and Biscayne Bay
having made the run in 2356 hours from
dock 60 dock.
Mrs. r. Wilson of Gainesville happened
to painful accident the other day. running
machine needle into her finger while
sewing The machine had to be taken
apart before the needle could be removed,
Mrs. Wilson being placed under the influ-
ence Of chloroform during the operation OF
removing it.
Judge Broome has granted a permanent
injunction against the city council OF De-
Lard aud II. II. and ]. b. Clough in the
shell road matter. In this case the council
had awarded to the Cloughs the contract to
shell one and quarter miles OF New York
avenue at a cost to the city Of IS, 1872. This
ends municipal fight that has been on for
over a month.
Barlow NetCS: Many small fortunes have
been made in raising vegetables in this
county during the past season, and in cons
sequence there has been a great rush for
choice lands in the lake region. J. H.
Tatum 81 Co., have during the past
week made ten or twelve sales, aggregating
Eloise and Winterset. They have also, in
connection with other gentlemen, purchased
500 or 600 acres OF the choicest lake fronts
to be found In this famous section.
OrlsndaI Record: W. H. Howell
returned from Clermont Friday after
noon and reports everything active in
that section. He says that from
1000 to 4 900 crates of vegetables are ship
ped daily by the month and that oa Satur-
day a week ago, twelve carloads were taken
out by one train. The shipments are mostly
tomatoes, beans and squashes and many of
the growers are becoming wealthy, one
man netting IS 90 per crate on 800 crates
with many more TO hear from.
Sanford Chronicle: We have been shown
by Capt. William Friend of this city
woven satin badge of Queen Victoria as
she appeared at the time OF her coronation
in 1887. 1T was worn on hat notable occa-
sion by member of parliament and re-
tains its original color and fresh-
ness of appearance, as if but the
work OF yesterday. 1t Is said to be
an accurate likeness, and shows the queen
to have been at that time a very handsome
young woman, It has been in possession of
Capt. Friend fully twenty years, and was
obtained by him from q lady, in whose own
ership it had been for an equal period Of
time It's authenticity is undoubted. The
size OF this badge is about SKA inches, and
its excellent state of preservation is due to
the extreme care with which it was woven,
and the excellence of the material used
Capt, Friend has refused $500 for it. la
this counsction, 1t may be stated, it will be
taken to the I'D anniversary celebration OF
the birth OF Queen Victoria to be held at
Orlando on Monday, May %, where it will
form one of the ''exhlbits.n 1t is indeed a
rare memento OF the past.

ination of the state. But here is q meas
ure proposed, which, while giving the peo-
pie an opportunity to elect their own Off
GERS and have their own government,
responsible to them for it's conduct, it
leaves the general government in posi-
ton to supervise its legislation as now and
on the manifestation of a DISPOSE
ton to return to the practice of
polygamy or of the church to
dominate the state, to resume the absolute
control of the territory and enact such
laws as might be necessary to keep the ter
ritory in harmony with the country at
large on these subjects.
Now, if the general government and the
enemies Of the Mormon people have been
and are sincere in saying that the only OBJ
lection against the admission of Utah as
state-the only reason why the manage
ment of their own affairs has been denied,
has been the fear that they would recon-
mence the practice of poIygamy, here is
measure which while it gives home rule to
the people of Utah leaves the federal
authorities as much in control of the terri
tory as they are to-day; and it they have
been sincere in this question they can prove
1t by the passage of this measure.

SENATOR DUBOl3.

Some of the disgruntled ones are express
ing surprise that Senator DUBOIS, of Idaho,
has declared in favor of the Home Rule
bill for Utah. The gentlemen, if thew
would reflect moment would understand
that their establishment is the severest re-
lection they could cast upon Mr.. DUBOIS
conveying as II does the idea that his dis
like of the Mormons has deprived him Of
all sense and reason and all re-
gard for principle. DUBOIS has
said in effect thousand times
that when the Mormons should obey the
laws, and when the hand of the church
should not appear in politics, ne would 10
longer have cause to fight them or the
church as individuals or a religious oreani-
cation. The practice of polygamy having
ceased, and the Mormons having gone out
OF politics except as citizens without re-
gard to their church utilization, sincerity
in both respects having been dem
onstrated by actual practice, SEN
ator DUBOIS could not well con-
tinue his opposition without stultifying
himself and confessing that all his past
professions were matters of deceit and
fraud. His present course is at least con-
sisJent with his past utterances and con-
duct, and those who have applauded what
he has said and done during all these years
should not now upbraid him for his refusal
to assume an attitude contrary TO that
which he has SO long maintained and which
gave him all his prominence.

JACKsoN's DAY.

Ibis is JACKsoN's Day, and it will be ap-
proprlately, which means ioyously, cele-
orated by the Democracy of the nation; but
nowhere with deeper reverence or with a
higher degree of respect for Old Hickory
and his grand principles and glorious
achievements, than right here in Salt Lake.
Inc people here are young in the practice
OF party politics, but they are not new in
their admiration for the highpriest of
democracy, whose name will for all time
be honored by those who love the princi-
pies OF liberty and who believe in self-gov-
eminent.
The public celebration of the anniversary
will be held in the federal court room this
evening, when patriotic and instructive
addresses will be delivered by Hon. i. r.
RHODES, of Ogden, and Judges H. P. REx-
DERsoN and j. w. JUDD, of this city, gen.
tlemen whose Democracy is part of their
natures. The affair will be conducted
under the auspices of the Democratic
society OF Salt Lake city, but all Demo
Gratis, whether residents or temporary So
lourners, are cordially invited to attend
the meeting, and while doing honor to the
memory of one of the grandest characters
in history, be entertained in their own be-
nall. There will be accommodations for
all, and every Democrat will be welcome.

SINCERITY CAN BE- PROVEN

Those who have given voice to these
sentiments in respect to the new measure
for home rule for Utah-the foremost local
question of the hour-say almost invaria bly
that it will give the Mormons an opportu-
nifty to prove their sincerity in respect to
several movements and declarations made
by their church during the last eighteen
months, all of which is true
no doubt; but those who stop
at that are surely satisfied with
half the truth and are content to look
at one side of the effect of this measure
only. The Home Rule bill for Utah will
not only give the Mormons an opportunity
to prove their sincerity in the new position
their church has assumed of late on tina
question of polygamy, but il will give the
government an opportunity to demonstrate
its sincerity in the action 1t has taken in the
enactment Of laws against this institution
of Mormonism. The one great thing that
has been put forth as an excuse for deny
of American citizenship, the excuse that
has supposedly justified the Withholding
from them the management of their own
affairs has been the fear that they would
legalize polygamy, and that the church
would dominate the state. The church. in
the most solemn and formal manner. abro-
gated the practice of polygamy and that
without making a bargain with anybody,
without even attempting to do so; and the
local political party which was supposed to
be the church party was disbanded
and the members of that party sought other
political affiliations, connecting themselves
with one or the other of the great national
parties. After doing this, from certain
quarters comes a question as to their sin
certify, and they must still be denied the
full measure of their rights because it is
feared if Congress loses the control of the
territory through its becoming a state. it is
apprehended, or SO it is pretended, that
polygamy would again be practiced, and
the church would resume its al eyed DOM

LIKE DUMB, DRIVEN CATTLE"

We are in the habit in this territory of

Did ever political master dictate more

another boss who issued more emphatic
orders to his followerss Of all the at
tempted dictation or direction on the part of
political bosses in this neck of the woods,
indecency of this. Other so-callei bosses
have, at least, conceded, on the surface
the right of others to be consulted; but
the Liberal master tells his sheep to herd
at headquarters long enough to beat ave
to his propositions and to be recorded in
favor Of his suggestions. He proclaims
the Home Rule bill 'ruinous legislation
and commands unanimous second; he an
nounces his purpose 10 attempt the bills
defeat, and orders all to assist him, as IL he
alone were authorized to think, plan aud
command, the sole duty Of the others being
to obey.
We wonder how the gentlemen who are
addressed as igureheads will like the boss
call! Some Of them we are certain will
not take kindly to it, and it will sit well
with none who retains any shadow of man
hood or who hiss the courage to think for
himself. There are Liberals, and we be-
lieve there are good many OF them, who
like this bill. who believe in it aud who
will rejoice over its passage as being the
shortest way In which TO adjust the trouble
which is holding Utah back in the progress
sive march. These Liberals will not obsv
when the boss orders them to denounce the
measure as ''ruinous legislation" Rather
viii they, unless they are towards who
dare not maintain their honest convic-
tons, lend their influence and SUPPORT
to the bill. TIE HERALD confidently ex
poets that every citizen, regardless of his
past political affiliations, who is interested
in the welfare Of the territory, and who is
not deriving direct financial beneht from
the governmental rule now prevailing, will
soon be found advocating the Home Rule

boss will be vigorously repudiated for his
assumption of the riahG to command men
