A BIG CREAMERY.
Enterprising Citizens VIII Establish One
in Columbia.

Enterprising Citizens VIII Establish One
in Columbia.
For many years there has been
talk of starting creamery in Co
lumbia, and now the hopes of our
citizens are about to be realized.
We are really going to have one and
the day is not far distant when it
will be IN running order and the far
mers of Maury County will have an
available means of disposing oftheir
surplus milk.
John Trewett, of Franklin, repre-
senting a Chicago firm, has been
here for several weeks past working
up interest in the matter, and has,
succeeded in raising "a 200 in stock,
$500 of which will be required for
the building, machinery, etc, leav-
ing working capital of 500,
Several other parties have signified
their intention of subscribing, and
the capital will no doubt be increas-
ed considerably. The creamery
will be on the Elgin plan, as are
those of Lewisburg and Franklin,
and will have capacity of $4,000
pounds of milk per day, while the
lowest quantity per day that it will
pay to run with is $500 pounds. The
butter made by this process is the
finest on the market, as Is also the
buttermilk, while all the skimm ed
milk not sold will be fed to hogs
owned by the company. Only one
man is generally required to do all
the work.
At a meeting of the stockholders
in the courthouse, last Saturday,
Mr.. l.. P. Padgett was made tenn
porary secretary. The following
gentlemen were selected as q locat-
ing committee: Messrs. Dyer,
Spellman, Maroney. Hendley, Gal
lOway, Gibson and DR.. j. T. Akin.
The gentlemen who constitute the
executive committee are: Messrs.
r. G.. Ewing and L. p. Padge tt,
Another meeting of the direct ors
will be held in the courthouse to-
morrow.
The Lewisburg creamery has only
been running one year, and at its
first annual meeting declared a
dividend of 10 per cent. AS is well
known, Maury County is the peer of
any stock-raisIng county on earth
while our class Of cows cannot be
surpassed for rich milk in large
quantities.

SANCTUM SENTIMENTS.

Since it has been demonstrated
that the blind can see by means of
x rays, it is possible that the bolto-
Gratis may be able to perceive that
they are not the democratic party
and never will be.-Chattanooga
News.
1t is estimated that the Republican
campaign committee spent one mill
lion aud half dollars to win. Can
they get that much out of our legis-
latiOn that is prOposed?-Knoxville

*Majorities.

The above vote was announced
officially yesterday by Secretary of
State w. S. Morgan. Gov. p. Tur-
ney promptly signed the certificates
of election and they were mailed to
the successful candidates. This
overwhelming victory for Democ-
racy in Tennessee places eight Dem
ocrats and two Republicans in the
next Congress, unless some of the
Democrats are thrown out on con-
test.
1t will be seen from the above
figures that the largest Democratic
majority was received in the Ninth
District by Hon. Rice A. Pierce over
John H. Mcdowell, the latter being
buried by 8,424 votes. In 1894, j. G.
McDearmon's majority over Atwood
PiersOn, Popullst, was 2,65l. The
| increased Democratic majority in
this district in 1896 is, therefore, 5,772
votes.
The smallest Democratic plurali-
ty was received in the Tenth Dis
trict by r. w. Carmack, who made
a stubborn fight against Josiah Pat
terson, Gold Democrat, and worsted
him by 1853 votes. Mr.. Carmack re-
ceived his certificate of election
from Gov. Turney, but Patterson
will contest his seat in Congress
alleging various and sundry frauds
John Wesley Gains comes out OF
the fight with flying colors, having
put ]. G. McReynolds under the sod
by 5,5ll votes.
Judge John A. Moon, in the Third
District, substituted a Democratic
plurality of 1882 for a Republican
plurality of 4,072 in 1894.
Hon. Benton McMillin's majority
over j. A. Denton, Independent can.
didate in 1894, was 1853. In 1896 he
increases his majority by 3,949 votes
Hon James d. Richardson, of The
Fifth District, increased his plu
rality in 1894 by 5,l92 votes.
In the Eighth District, Hon. t
w. Sims reversed the order of things
which prevailed in 1891, and sur
planted a Republican victory with {
plurality of 2,947 votes over his com
petitor, John E. Mccall.

XNTith better understanding Of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that IL Is the
one remedy which promotes INTERNAL
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pRr-
chase, that you have the genuine aTti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
II in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives OF
other remedies are then not needed If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but If in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

THE suggestion of the Chatta-
nooga News is a good one, that the
Legislature, which meets in Janu-
ary, pass another act submitting the
question of a constitutional conven-
tion to the people, and fix the time
for August instead of April as pro-
vided in the aot passed at the last
special session. This will do away
with all quibbles about the legality
of the latter act, and changing the
election from April to August, will
give more time to present the great
and important questions to the peo-
pie.

A BILL has been introduced into
the Alabama General Assembly
making it unlawful for any female
to wear any article of mems cloth

the passions of men. The bill
specifically prohibits the wearing of
bloomers, tights, divided skirts and
shirtwaists. The correspondent
confidently states that the bald
heads in the assembly will kill the
bill; they should go further and kill

look upon shirtwaist without ex-

beauty through divided skirt with

houses employing such methods. The
object lesson is proving a boomerang.
But is the 'Iesson" a fair one? 1t is
true that a Mexican dollar in the
United States is worth bat So cents,
measured in gold, but at home, in the
country in which il was meant to circu-
late, it passes for and is worth just
what it purports to be-1O0 cents. The
United States silver dollar, being
placed in the same position of having
its bullion value as the basis of its
worth, would be worth less than even
the dollar of Mexico. The white metal
has been degraded by legislation and it
is poor taste for the corporations of

of a crime of which they stand con-

AT Mansfield, No, the other day,
an incident occurred which caused the
farmers to scratch their heads and
study as they have never done before.
A foreign loan company with local Of
fieers at Springfield, held a mortgage
on farm near there. The mortgage
fell due recently and an agent de-
manded payment in gold AS the
mortgage read payable in gOld," the
mortgage was made to believe that
nothing but gold would suffice. AS
not enough gold could be found in
town to satisfy the indebtedness the
farmer was advised to made a tender
in silver dollars and such other legal
tender money as could be had at the
banks. This was done but the offer
was refused. The only alternative
left was to find the gold, which was
done by making a trip to Springfield
of over fifty miles. This is the first
incident which has occurred there
showing the practical workings Of a
gold standard system as now in force
in the United States.

BOTF0MLEss pr.

The historian, John Clark Ridpath,
in an article in the January Arena,
makes the following startling state
ment. He says:
"By the close of the year 1896 the
people will have paid upon the public
debt in interest alone S2,635, 100000,
and upon the principal s1,7OO,OOO,
making the enormous aggregate of
1885, 100000. This will leave US still
owing about s1,237, 100000 including
premium on bonds. We will have
paid at the end of 1896 more than
thres-fifths of the entire debt besides
the fabulous sum in INTEREST,", and
yet the less than twO-ffths remaining
will be worth more to the holders than
the entire debt was on March 1, 1866"
Mr.. Ridpath adds further:
"For thirty years the American peo-
pie have been pouring into that horrid
mseistrom the volume of their re-
sources. They have paid on their debt,
or at least they have paid at this long
period such a prodigious sum that
arithmetic can hardly express it. And
yet it is the truth Of the living God
that at the close of the year 1896 the
national debt Of the United States in
It's bonded and unbonded form, will
purchase at its equivalent in value, as
much of the average Of the twenty five
Of the leading commodities Of the
American market, including real estate
and labor, as the same debt would
have purchased as its maximum on
March /, 1896. In short, the people
have paid and paid for thirty years,
and at the end have paid just this
nothing at all"

EVERY big corporation in the United
States is enlisted on the side of Nc
Kinley and gold and are threatening
the people, their customers in parti-
calar, with sll possible ills should they
elect Bryan president. The very fact
that these monopolies and grinding
corporations are backing Mckinley is a
good and sufficient reason why the
oommoa people should vote against
llim and the threats they are making,
make the reason doubly strong. The
American people are not to be bull
dozed, they are the government, and
ire capable Of settling the present
question without the advice of corpora
sioas who have no representation in
the coming election. The corporation
lsa menace to the people, and while it
has been tolerated in the past. its pres
ens action may make it so obnoxious
that demand may be made for its ex.
tinetion.
