OUR lighting facilities in Column
bia, though better than they have
been, are not the best. The electric
lights are not altogether reliable,
and the gas is inferior In quality and
high In price; costing now, we are
told, one dollar per hundred or $40
per thousand feet. A gentleman who
has a new plan for manufacturing
gas, wants to erect plant in Column
bia, provided he can get some stock
taken here, and proposes to furnish
better light than the electric lights
at about half the price paid for the
gas. And for fuel gas he proposes to
put that at a figure less than wood or
coal. Competition Is the life of
trade. Competition builds towns
Every town ought to have two of
everything. That Is every good
thing. Such as newspapers, and
banks, and railroads, and light and
water companies. The people ought
to have competition In all those
things, and now that Columbia has
"a chance to have competition Ia the
light business, the opportunity
should not be allowed to pass.

SOME CONGRESSIONAL FIGURES

In 1896 Col. N. N. Cox, Democratic
nominee, defeated Col. A. M
Hughes. Republican nominee, in
this Congressional district, 1880
votes, and there was as much or
more dissatisfaction then than now.
Friends of the defeated candidates
charged that the nomination was
bought, and the Prohibitionists were
arrayed against Col. Cox Is favor of
Mr.. Blackburn, the Populist candI-
date and a good man; who polled,
by-the-way, 1894 votes. And Mr..
Hughes got the benefit of the Nc
Kinley democrats, as we'll as
the stay-at-home anti-Bryan dem.
ocrats. In short, the demo-
cratic nominee had about as heavy
a load to carry as the nomI-
nee could have, aud yet he defeated
his opponent 1890 votes. That
would not seem to give much en-
enlargement to the movement on
foot to bring out independent can
didate against Mr.. PAdgett.

You may talk as much as you
please about the cold charity of a
heartless world, under ordinary cir
cumstances when every man is sup
posed to take care of himself-and
ought to; but when real cry of dis
tress is heard, then cold charity
melts beneath the benignant infiu-
ence of warm humanity, and a
heartless world is stirred to the
depths of brotherly love. Not an al
together cold and heartless world is
this when more than two million
dollars have been voluntarily sub
scribed and sent to the Gal
weston sufferers. 1t must be
some consolation to the living, wien
they look out over the waste of wa
tiers, to be recalled by these mani
festations that sympathy yet
abounds; and yet how empty still it
leaves the cradle, or ones arms, or
the dear old corner chair, from which
a dearly loved form has gone, never
to come back again.

gard of christian public sentiment,

THE labored effort of the Column
bia Journal TO place the HERALD In
hole. we will pass for the present.
II the Journal thinks 1t has proven
It's case, ana that nobody can see its
palpable dodge, why the Journal is
simply deceiving itself; that's all.
Wat the HERALD admitted Is one
thing; what the Journal charged In
its issue of the 18th, IL another. The
HERALD IL willing always to admit
the truth; but there is a vast diff
ference between the charge that the
friends of one candidate scandalized
the primary and debauched the bal
lot box, by an open and notorious
use of whiskey and money, and that
one man, naming him, spent eight
or ten thousand dollars to corrupt
the voters There Is vast differ
ence, we say, between this whole.
sale charge of fraud and corruption,
and the simple admission that the
friends of all the candidates spent
some money improperly for their
respective candidates. The Journal
may be satisfied with its case.
But In our opinion the Journal
instead Of producing the proof,
has simply begged the question.
Naturally the crow of this pri-
mary Is a little meaner tast-
ing to the Journal than to any of US.
And we must give them time to get
their digestion settled. After Mr..
Boyd had made his little complaint
OF six alleged republican votes being
pOlled in Hickman county, and after
Major Whitthorne had appeared be-
fore the committee without any
complaint at all and after the COM
mittee had unanimously declared
Mr.. Padgett to be the nominee-the
Whitthorne men on the committee,
and the Bovd men all voting for the
neutrality-suspicious. one word of pro
test or objection, then we naturally
expected all the Democratic news
papers to cease circulating these
campaign exaggerations and to
place the name of the nominee
at their masthead. And, so far
as we can learn, all the Demo
cratic papers in the district, ex.
cept the Journal, have done so
or will do 80 this week. Why the
Journal has not done so, is easy to
understand. 1t is waiting Major
Whitthorne's decision as to whether
it will support an independent, or a
bolter, or the regular nominee.
Pending that decision the HERALD
prefers not to say Or do anything to
rile our Aesitating contemporary
but to leave it to wrestle with its
awkward situation the best 1t can.

OUR good friend Mr.. Leland Hume
speaks of the Citizens Telephone
Co.. of Columbia as "a conspicuous
failure" If we would we could
build a railroad from here to the
Tennessee river, connecting with
the Illinois Central Railroad at or
near Milan, that would be the same
sort of conspicuous failure to the
L. & n. that the Citizens is to the
Cumberland people, and then Co.

THE only danger to Democracy in
Tennessee next November, is in
arousing the people from their
latbargy. Mr.. McMillin's admins
tration makes good business show
ing, and his election is foregone
conclusion unless the Democrats go
to sleep and the Republicans catch
them mapping. There is not to say
any real danger from this, and yet
there is always more or less danger
in overconfidence, and for that
reason work should be begun in
earnest. Wouldn't we all feel like
going off and hanging ourselves If
Bryan should be defeated by Tehnes
see happening, unexpectedly, to drop
into the Republican column? Other
towns and counties are organizing
Democratic clubs. Why not this

should be organized and in working
order by the time the Legislative
ticket is made up, so that they can
give their help to all the Democratic
nominees. from President down.

COLUMBIA, we knew, would do its
part by the Texas sufferers. We had

liberal to respond. So we do not

nights meeting, shall nave COM

have given as much as any other
town of its size. Maury county
will also do its part il the appeal Is
made by the committee for a car

visions, is properly presented. The
railroads will carry the car free aud
the people in the country can and
will give more literally this way

few of them have any money to

beef, who would not give half the

Quite good many householders
on Frierson street, and on High,
north of Third are still in the hog
business. Instead of disposing of
their swine whom the hog law went
into effect, they builded pens, and
now these pens smell loud unto
high heaven. They are not only
offensive to the olfactory nerves,
bat breeders of disease and menace
to the public health, and should be
abated by the city authorities as
nuisances. The HERALD has been
asked to call attention to them and
to request the authorities to act at
once.

The Blankets.

A hundred pairs OF blanket that we
made famous here last season by selling
all we could get before the season was
half over. They are made of soft fieecy
wool filling and fine cotton warp. Any
body who has used this kind of blanket
will tell you that they are much better
than an all wool blanket at the same
price. These blankets come in three
sizes, 10x4, 11x4 and 12x 4, and in
variety of colored borders We will place
this hundred pairs on sale next Satur-
day and Monday at these prices:
10G4, $500 IN place Of $500.
11r4 1890 IN place of 5000.
12x4, $500 IN place of $3.50.
These prices ought to make lively
blanket business.
