The most beautiful spot in Muskegon is in.
separately associated with the name of Hack
ley, and in all Western Michigan there is not
. name better known, and among the studious
and those interested in deeds of philanthropy,
this name il known and admired. Chas. H.
Hackley has been in the lumber business con-
tinuously since 1856, and in that time has
amassed fortune, which gives him q rating
among the wealthy men of the nation. But
with wealth there did not come that tightening
Of the purse-strings which is generally
marked characteristic Of wealthy men.
There is no prettier spot in the State than
Hackley Park in q square surrounded and
pierced by stone walls, emphasizing with their
whiteness the green of faultlessly kept lawns,
its crowning pride towering soldiers monu-
ment on the top of which stands bronze figure
pointing ever in remembrance of the heroes
whe died that the nation might live. Sur
rounding this park are the magnificent Hack
ley Public Library-a poem in granite-with
its 10000 volumes, and the equally stately
Hackley school, like beehive with its 600
children. other elegant buildings testify like
wise to the liberality and munifcence of this
man who has pulled wealth out of the forests
Of Michigan.
1t is no wonder then that the name ofiChas.
Il. Eackley is known at home and abroad

THINKS THE DEMOCRAT RIGHT.
The South the Great Field

/ Correspondence to The DEMOCRAT
CHICAGO, Ill, Feb. y, 90
Ny dear Democrat:
You are hustler Keep up the good
work, and when the time arrives for
you to lay aside your newspaper work
and assume the presidency Of some one
OF the many manufacturing establish
ments which will, ere long, dot the
landscape OF our sunny South. then
you will be able to say, MY labors have
not been In vain"
There Is no reason why the many
millions OF dollars annually expended
in the manufacturing of cotton goods
should not go to help develop our erst-
while rich and powerful country. You
have cheap labor and unlimited natural
advantages, and why not use them to
advantage and for the edifcation of our
glorious. South With us there are
constant labor upheavals (Which you
Gus nature. We know not at what
moment the wheels of our factories
will cease to turn and thereby throw
thousands out OF employment, most OF
whom are on the very verge of starva-
ton, for they never save cent. Then
what is the result? A strike. And
what follows? The destruction of prop
erty, murder, thuggeTy, robbery and all
the unprovoked wickedness in the Grim
lnal category.
With you the conditions are the re-
verse and much more favorable, and If
your contemporaries will join hands
with you and convince the public OF
the necessity of development, it will not
be very long before the hum of machin-
cry will displace four cent cotton, and
money will flow plentifully into the
Golfers OF those who will make an effort
and peace and plenty will reign supreme.
In conclusion 1 will say that you of
North Carolina may congratulate your
selves that you escape the rigorous
winter. we have in Chicago. For days
and days the weather man has COM
PEELED us to go to and from our respec-
tive businesses with the thermometer
ranging from II to Is degrees below
zero. Business has been almost par
alyzed by the same weather, and State
Street, our principal thoroughfare, was
practically deserted during that period,
having the appearance of Sunday in
a small town. Now, am most happy
to relate, the weather man has fallen
off his "high horse" and we are once
more having respectable weather, the
thermometer standing this morning at
6 degrees above zero. So much for
Chicago weather.
Respectfully,
J. E. HANCOCK.

THE CEEATHAMW OODARD
CONTEST.
A Tedious Work.

Ex-Congressman II P. Chea:ham
in 33-page pamphlet, gave notice 10
| Congressman Woodland IN Decent Der
| that he would contest his election TO
Congress tor the ensuing term.
The notice claims that in every
county in the district there were irreg-
ularities BY which Cheatham was de
frauded and Woodland declared elected
townships are named in the several
counties at which Cheatham Gains
there was fraud. In Halifax county
every township is named except But
terwood In Warren only two town
ship are questioned and in Lenoir
fraud is alleged at only one polling
place, and that was Klnston. In the
other counties it is alleged that fraud
was committed at almost every pre-
cinct
For Halifax, Northampton and some
other counties it is alleged tina. the
ballot boxes were put so high the vo-
tiers could not see where their ballots
were deposited, and that when the
votes were counted everybody was ex-
cluded except few whom the Demo
cratic poll-holders allowed to come in.
The notice claims that whereas
Woodlands plurality was returned over
5000 votes, with fair election and a
fair count Cheatham would have been
elected by over 5000 plurality.

in rebuttal. The time allowed is forty
days on either side.
