LITTLE INTEREST TAKEN.

Acting upon the suggestion of a
leading citizen Of Columbus, that a
delegation should be sent to New Or.
leans 10 invite the rivers and harbors
committee to make a trip of investi-
CATION and inspection up the Bigbee,
in last Sundays edition, we offered
this for the consideration of the bus
mess interests of the community.
Little attention was given the sug-
gestion, the people evidently believ-
ing that as we had just suffered de-
feat in one rivers and harbors bill
tate this subject.
But this is the time. This is the
long-sought for opportunity. If we
could but get the members of this
committee to see this river, to take
a trip over the section which is ask
ing improvement, on a Columbus
boat, we believe they would have a
better estimate of the feasibility and
merit of this project than they could
get from volume of reports from
engineers.
Capt w c. Mcclure, with a char
acteristic public spirit, comes forward
with the offer that the steamer Amer
lean will make any date that the COM
mittee may desire She will cancel
any trips, or all trips, for this pur-
pose, and will be fitted UP in royal
style to entertain so distinguished
company.
Now, the question is up TO the peo-
pie The committee will be in New
Orleans on the 25th, to remain there
for several days. A committee could
cheapIy and easily visit the city and
lay the matter before the committee.
If they refused to accept the invita-
ton no harm would be done: on the
contrary, great deal of good would
result. for the members of the COM
mittee would realize that the people
of this section and this project are
not to be summarily dismissed from
its further consideration by the mere
word of the engineers in Mobile.
It's up to the people.

THE COTTON PLANT.

What a royal plant it is! The
world waits in attendance on its
growth. The shower that falls whis-
pering on its leaves is heard around
it is tempered by the prayers of all
people. The frost that chills it and
the dew that descends from the stars
are noted, and the trespass of a lit
tie worm on its green leaf is more to
England than the advance of the Rus
sian army on her Asian outposts. 1t
is gold from the instant it puts forth
its tiny shoot. Its fiber is current in
every bank; and when loosing its
fleeces to the sun it floats a sunny
banner that glorifies the field of the
humble farmer. That man is mar
shalled under a flag that will compel
the allegiance of the world and wiring
a subsidy from every nation on earth.
1t is the heritage that God gave to
this people forever as their own,
when he arched our skies, established
our mountains, girt about us the
ocean, loosed the breeZes, tempered
the sunshine, and measured the rain.
Ours and our children's forever, as
princely a talent as ever came from
His hand to mortal Stewardship

From the current issue of the Co.
lum bus Dispatch we learn that Hon.
Malcolm A Franklin has consented
/ to stand for reelection TO the State
senate from Lowndes count. Mr.
Franklin is one of the most popular
men in the senate, and his re-elec-
ton will give great pleasure to his
/ friends throughout the State. The
| Dispatch. in alluding TO Mr.. Frank
| lin, says:
In our announcement column will
| be found the announcement of Hon.
NJ. A Franklin for reelection to the
! position of State senator from Lown-
des county. Mr.. Franklin, having
served the people of this county with
brilliant ability both in the lower
seek a return TO the senate save upon
the solicitation of his friends and to
serve especially the interest of the
great institution located in this city
of which he has been an especial ad-
vocate in the past. Mr. Franklin s
experience as Il legislator well eQulpS
him for the service of his people bet
ter than ever, and the fact that he
has consented TO run again will, it
is believed, insure for him a return
to his present position without any
opposition
Now, if the Hon. P. w Maer will
just fall in line for one of the seats
in the house of representatives and
let the people re-elect him with a
couple more of his capacity, Lowndes
will stand in the next legislature as
in the present-one of the best rep
resented counties in the State THE
GreenviIle Democrat.
The writer is very grateful to the
editor of the Democrat for his kindly
reference to his record as a legislator,
but he has announced, and is resolute
in this conclusion, that he will not
be candidate for reelection. His
service in the last legislature was
made at a great sacrifice of his per-
sonal interests, and it is a sacrifice
that he cannot again incur.

though a native of the Caledonia
neighborhood, has been citizen of
Columbus for several years past, and
is we'll and favorably known in this
city and throughout the county. He
has during his residence here taken
keen interest in local politics, and
has always advocated an honest and
conservative administration of public
affairs. He is a high-toned Christian

BARROW MEMORIAL SCHOOL.

BARROW MEMORIAL SCHOOL.
Il is pleasing to know that the
high esteem in which the late J. NJ.
Barrow was held by the citizens of
/ this community is finding its express
sions not only in words, but in deeds.
Public spirited citizens of Columbus,
who revere and honor the memory
! of the man who laid strong and deep
! the foundation for the educational
systems of this city, men who are
actuated by the very highest of mo-
tives, realizing the injustice done his
memory by the Council in naming the
new school after him and then public
| ~ changing the name without cause,
have taken the matter in hand, and
will ask the Council for reconsider
alton, or some action, if that course
is barred by the city statutes, which
will give to the school the name it
deserves and the name thousands Of
people in this city want it to have,
the name of the Barrow Memorial
School.
A leading citizen of the community
devoted Thursday and Friday, or
rather a part of these two days, to-
ward securing signatures to a petition
asking the Council to rescind it's ac-
tion. In a long experience in this
kind of work he encountered less op-
position than he has ever encountered
in asking an expression of public SEN
timent. Over four hundred of the
leading and representative citizens of
this community were approached and
only eleven refused to sign their
names, assigning various reasons for
so doing. In nearly every case the
expressions were outspoken, conf
dent, appreciatiye of the work which
the petition bearer was doing, and
the suggestion that the school be
named after Prof. Barrow was enthu-
siastically endorsed. Although only
at this work short time, enough sig
natures were secured, the expressions
from the people were such that there
is no qustiOn as to the wish of the
people, and if the Council will heed
this wish they will grant the petition.
The Council members are but rep
resentatives of the people They are
elected to do their bidding. The peo-
pie are the ones who pay the taxes,
who will pay for the new school. 1t
is theirs, and they will pay the cost
of its construction and it's mainten-
ance Surely this should allay all
school if the members of the board
have individual wishes in the mat
ter. AS the people pay for it, own
it, run it, provide for it, they should
be allowed the opportunity to name
it. And if their wishes are to be re-
spected, if the wishes of an over
whelming majority of the people of
this city are to count for anything,
the Council will reconsider their ac-
ton and give the new school a name
befttng its high purpose, a name
which will attest the gratitude of our
people, the present and past genera |
tions, the name of the Barrow Mem |
orial School.
The petition will be presented for
mally at the next meeting of the |
Council by a strong committee of the
leading men of the community. at !
which time favorable action, it is
hoped, will be taken.
