TIMING YOUR TRAIN.
Ways In which to learn How Fast
You Are Travelling.

Ways In which to Learn How Fast
You Arc Travelling.
"There has been some picturesque
fiction written about the ease with
which railroad men aud drumners are
supposed to tick off the miles as the
train speeds uloag from things they
can see from the car windows" said
railroad conductor TO II reporter.
There Is only one strictly accurate
way, and that Is to seat yourself on the
side of the train from which may be
observed the white mile posts that line
the road and hold your watch on them.
II you have split second watch. 1t
will prove interesting to note that
while you made one mile In GO seconds
the next was covered In 80 and the
third In 10 seconds. and so on, as the
speed of the train increases or slack
ems. You may also follow around the
little second hand on an ordinary
watch 1t kills time.
Some pretend to say that they can
tell the speed of the train by counting
the telegraph poles. If there were an
exact number Of telegraph poles to ev-
cry mile, thls might be done by little
figuring, but there is a difference. The
number Of telegraph poles TO mile
vary from 30 TO 40, depending upon the
! straight stretches and the curves In the
track, the latter having more poles
than the former. SO. you see. 1t is not
3 ftny+ 70
the other passengers believe.
I "lf the poles are planted SO to the
mile they are 100 feet apart. and every
! II passed represents third OF mile.
, If placed 10 10 mile, they are 1872 feet
/ apart, aud every 20 represents half a
mile
"Thesc arc. easy figures TO remember
and by applying them on journey d
passenger may obtain an Idea more oE
! less accurate OF the speed of the trnin
Another way is to attempt to count
/ the clicks of the wheels of the truck OF
| your car rs they pass over the rails
| where joined. The rails OF the roads as
! placed today are too evenly Joined to
| arrive at an exact determination by
this method. because If you miss two or
! three joints your calculations are
/ thrown out as 10 accuracy.
! However. there are railroad men
/ who cannot tell you the number of rails
to The mile of their own roads, and
/ rails vary in length, the average being
! 80 feet some 33 feet and some 60 feet
At so feet there are 17G rails to the
/ mile. aud If you can count 40 consecu
| tive clinks as your train flies along you
may determine its speed and not other.

THE QUESTION OF STATEHOOD.

newspaper whose enterprise and
! intelligence we have frequently
commended, and which was never
more worthy of commendatlon
than under its present editorial
direction, says that information
of the most reliable character
warrants it in saying that State
hood for Arizona is obtainable it
the people of the Territory will
only make the proper effort"
We have no doubt that our es-
teemed Phoenix contemporary is
entirely within the bounds of
truth in this declaration. There
is no inherent prejudice against
Arizona among the representatives
of the people and the States at
Washington. Arizona is son of
the great Republic and is now of
age. 1t is sufficiently educated, is
amply endowed with the worlds
goods, and is of good repute among
the older members of the family.
The Rtpu blican brushes aside
the silly and i. i.norant pretext that
had been erected by the grafters
and moss backs, that because AriZ-
ona was Democratic in its political
inclinations, the Republican Ex-
ecutive and Congress would not
countenance its promotion to
Statehood. This argument has
almost invariably been put forth
by Republicans of the office hold
ing variety, Notwithstanding the
fact that the last Republican Ma :
tional convention pledged the
party to admit Oklahoma, Arizona
and New Mexico to Statehood.
Others have insisted that the cor
porations p doing business in Ariz-
ona are not in favor of Statehood
and that in consequences the hopes
and desires OF the people must be
crushed.
We cannot accept this view of
the situation. The great corpora
tions doing business in Arizona
are controlled by men of foresight
and prudence. They will think
long and very seriously before an
tagonizing the people. Even in
their condition of Territorial vas
salage the people Of Arizona can
exercise the taxing power, and it
is good principle for State or
Territory as we'll as for an army to
forage on the enemy. But We will
not believe that Mr.. w. A. Clark
of Montana and New York and
Messrs. Phelps Dodge d Co. of
New York, and Mr.. E. II. Harri-
man of New York, will consider it
wise to stand in the way of the full
enfranchisement of the people of
Arizona.
We believe with the PhoeniX
Republican that President Roose-
velt will favor Statehood for the
three remaining mainland Terri
tories. Although an Eastern man.
Roosevelt is Western in his tastes
and tendencies. He knows that
the people of Arizona are educa-
ted, progressive, patriotic. He
knows that the voice and vote Of
Arizona in the Senate OF the Uni
ted States would ever DO for IA
tional honor. progress and whole
some conservatism. He knows that
the spirit of anarchy, OF destruc-
ton. of foreign. isms does not lurk
here. He knows that Arizona IL
American to the core.

CUSTOM HOUSE TYRANNY.

ways held that the protective tariff
system is but relic of the past,
wholly out of tune with onr pres
ent enlightened civilization. A
system whereby a great nation is
inclosed within an artificial trade
wall is but little more civilized
than the late attitude of China in
refusing to have commercial COM
munication with any other coun-
try. The principle involved is the
same-the method merely differ
ent.
Within the last few months the
custom house officials, represent
ing this semi-sayage principle,
have been making Democratic con-
verts every day. Not long ago
Gen. Fred Grant, upon being sub
jected to the most provoking hui
initiation and being compelled to
pay $34 duty upon $63 worth of
goods, Indignantly declared that
such a policy would do the Repub-
lican party no good. That it has
done actual harm has just been
shown by the action of DR.. W. L.
Moore, dean of the Missouri bible
college at Columbia, who has sew
cred connection with the Repu bli-
can party.
DR.. Moore is one of the most
distinguished ministers in the
Christian church. For some time
he edited the Christian Common
wealth of London. Upon his re-
turn from Europe the other day
he made the following statement
for publication:
Hereafter, until this custom
house business is changed, | an
nounce publicly that | will vote
tho Democratic cket. / am in
favor of free trade and sailors
rights.
1t seems that DR.. Moore was ac-
corded the usual treatment. He
was made to swear to a statement
concerning the contents of his
baggage, and upon the assumption
that he had sworn to lie, hc had
his belongings dumped out by an
insolent official for investigation.
In the bottom of trnnk the Ar
gus eye of the agent of protection
detected an old English camera,
which had previously made the
trip, and the reverend gentleman
was forced to pay $2.40 for the
protection of American industry.
Mrs. Stokes of New York, who
came over on the same steamer
paid $4,0OO-for the protection of
American industry. After the
payment of the sum the insolent
official, who knew his duty, by the
way, noticed that Mrs Stokes wore
a very valuable neeklace-a gift
from her deceased husband. With
the impudence which is native to
the system, he conGscated the neck
lace pending investigation as to
the original place of its purchase.
AS the lady was unable TO give the
information demanded, the official
kept the necklace, presumably for
the purpose of prying into the af-
fair.
OF course the public must agree
with DR.. Moore that the system is
"infamous and unworthy of this
country" 1t is wholly inconsist-
ent with our position among ma
tions. But DR.. Moore must not
forget that it is all for the protec-
ton of American industry and
the propagation of the trusts.

A DELEGATION FROM AMERICUs
Leaves Monday For Memphis Via
Central.

Americus and Sumter's delegation of
veterans to the Memphis reunion, as
well as those from other nearby coun.
ties, will leave Americus at 80 p. M,
Monday forthe great reunion of Con-
federate veterans. At Fort Valley the
veterans will find the magnificent
special train prepared for them by the
Central of Georgia Railway and aboard
which they will go through to Mem
phis without change of cars The
Veterans Special will be made up of
nine elegant coaches and sleeping cars,
and those desiring to occupy the sleep
er can go through to Memphis for only
$1,50-less than half the usual sleeping
car rate. This train leaves Fort Valley
at o'clock tomorrow afternoon on fast
schedule, and going by way of Colum-
bus and Birmingham reaches Memphis
at 1880 next morning, four hours quick
er than by any other route out of Geor-
gia. The Central was selected by Camp
Sumter as the off cial route to Mem
phls, and the railroad company has
arranged this special train and fast
schedule wholly for the convenience
of the veterans going from Georgia.
There is no change of cars between
Fort Valley and Memphis-a straight
shoot through.

We have good family driving horse

He is not oyer-particular as to feed.
In fact, he prefers our neignbors hay
stacks and corncribs to our own.
We feed him whenever we can catch
him, which is seldom.
He is partly gentle. The other parts
are not, and you must govern your
self accordingly.
We will throw in the derrick and
telegraph pole combination which we
use to hitch him up with.
If you are fond of driving we advise
you to engage cowboy that owns a

and get on top of the barn before he
begins to drive the horse.
For price and coroner's address APP

A SPIRITED RACE IS PROMISED,
For ANY Vacancy In the Aldermanic
Board Here.

AS the Times Recorder stated on
Thursday, Mr.. J. E. Cameron, master
Car builder at the Seaboard Railway
shops in Americas, will be transferred
to the company's shops at Portsmouth
very shortly, probably within q few
days.
Mr., Oameron's departure hence will
be greatly regretted.
Aside from losing good citizen MIR.
Cameron's departure will necessitate a
city election, he being a member of
the present aldermanic board.
Mr.. Cameron was elected a member
of council in December last for term
of two years, andEhis successor will
have to serve the unexpired term of
eighteen or nineteen months. Who
his successor will be is a matter of IN
terest now
The position will not go begging
no public Office in Americus ever did
that or ever will hereafter.
Already, tits said, several aspirants
are putting themselves in line to be
prevailed ~ upon by their friends to
offer for the coveted honor
It has been suggested that, mas
much as three aldermen are to be
chosen again in November next, that
the present board work along with
FIVE members, as a jury sometimes
does with eleven when one is taken
suddenly i'll,
But the ''outs' who want to get in
might object to this plan.
Alderman Cameron has not yet even
rendered his resignation to council
but there are several here who will
know it the moment he does.

OF MISS BUCHANAN
Young Lady Who Once Resided In
Americas.

Relatives of the bride in Americus
have been appraised of the marriage at
Merkel, Texas, of Miss Elizabeth Bar
low Buchanan to Mr.. Lewis E. Martin,
of that city, few days since. The
bride is the eldest daughter of the late
W. B. Buchanan, a former merchant of
Americas, but left here when quite a
child, with her mother, then Mrs. j.
d. Boring, and has since resided in
Texas. The news of her marriage is of
much interest to many friends and rela
tives here.
