THE RACE PROBLEM The race problem is a veritable myth and is no problem at all. It is only in the south that we hear the question discussed, and nothing has ever been said on the subject that contained a single pointed thought that could be remembered one hour after it was read………………. The gubernatorial race promises to be full of life next year…………… President J. C. Clark and Supt. D. McClary of the Mobile and Ohio R. R. and Capt. Leigh of the Tombigbee road passed through Vernon last Sunday looking over the survey of the Tombigbee road to Decatur. The M. & O. people are contemplating purchasing the Tombigbee franchise and building on that line into the coal field. They have abandoned the idea of going to Birmingham from Corinth and will build this road with intention of extending the road to both Decatur and Birmingham. The M. & O. has long had an eye on this section and are somewhat unhurried up by the people of the Alabama Midland and Chesapeake Decatur & New Orleans roads which are both heading this way. The rich mineral and timber interest of this county together with the fine crops the general air of prosperity was freely commented on by President Clark who seemed surprised that a road had not been built through such a favored section before this. Something definite will be known in a short time and the Courier is promised a full statement of the results of the negotiations at the earliest moment that the results can be given to the public. Columbus, a rich and lovely city founded early on the East bank of the Bigbee, had for fifty years sat as the Queen of trade and commerce over a territory of more than sixty miles square in the state of Alabama, until the section was penetrated with a track of iron and then her star did not set but according to the inevitable law retribution began in a small way to buy of us as we once bought of her. Other roads have and will follow and the day is not far in the future when she will for each factory and industry founded in her limits come and buy of us iron lumber, and coal for the same. In short, she must repay to us the many hundreds of thousands that we have laid in her lap in the fleecy staple and other products of the soil with compound interest. This will surely follow. Columbus is no longer the idle typical “cotton town” of the past’; but by force of circumstances will give more attention to the mechanical arts in the future than in the past, and it is not difficult to foresee the track of commerce in the future. The Fayette Sentinel calls us generous when we offer to go in with Fayette County and make a fair and square showing of inducements to the Alabama Midland. Of course we should be generous to even a neighbor but when it comes to our “old mother Fayette” of course Lamar couldn’t think of doing anything little or ungenerous, and we find that this always pays and particularly in this instance, for we are just in receipt of information from Fayette that the hopes of getting the road through that county are completely dead, and that it is altogether conceded, that the natural route for the road is from Tuskaloosa to Kennedy or Millport and on here. If we are generous, the old lady is nothing if not magnanimous. PARADISE VALLEY’S BELLE – [Virginia City Enterprise] Miss Johannah Kemler, a belle of Paradise Valley, Nev. has set out Paris. She rides any animal that wears hair and hoofs, “wild Indian”. She is as much at home on the side of a galloping steed as on his back. With her horse at full speed she can pass under his neck and come up on the other side, a feat that few Commanches care to undertake. The following meritorious article is from the Birmingham Evening News: A GOOD STORY WITH A “MORAL” We wrote of a good man in a Southern city doing a prosperous business and yet having competitors who are steadily invading his exclusive domains…………… Concerning the local papers and the support it should received in the town in which it is published, the Atlanta Constitution gives the expression to the following sensible words ……………. [Bellefontaine (O) Examiner] -Frank Hutton is going in tooth and nail in his fight on civil service law………… A DOUBLE LYNCHING Montevallo, Sept. 1 – Excitement over the murder of Mr. John Lawrence is this morning at an end. The forms of two --- hang stiff and stark from a limb not 50 yards from where Lawrence lost his life……………… “HOLD YOUR COTTN” “Hold your cotton” says the farmer’s alliance, “and sell not a bale unless absolutely necessary during the month of September.” The cotton planter is master of the situation. He holds the fort, and can dictate terms instead of continuing the hewers of wood and packers of water for manipulators who feast and fatten while he labors and toils. The buyers are bound to have it; they cannot do without it. Stand firm and united, and dictate terms and force the speculators to forego his ill-gotten gains instead of surrendering your bright and offering up on his unholy alter the profits of your labors. All hail the alliance, and long live the farmer. SAM JONES ON FAITH CURE The Rev. Sam Jones says, “I’ll tell you where this faith cure comes in. There’s an old brother and sister who have been taking all the nasty, quack patent medicines on the market for the last ten years. Somebody comes and prays over ‘em, and they quit using the patent medicines and they are well again. They say it was faith that cured. It was faith. It was the faith which caused them to quit taking old patent nostrums which cured them.” MUST BE HUNGRY – A Man Fasts 149 Days But Wants “Beaked Beans” – New York, Aug. 30 – Citizen George Francis Train announced that his fast of 140 days is about to close………………… OVER NIAGARA FALLS – Niagara, N. Y., Sept. 1 – Last Sunday Carlisle D. Graham made a successful trip through Whirlpool Rapids, Maelstrom and Foster flats before the assembled multitude of 15,000 people,…………… STONEWALL JACKSON AND HIS DAUGHTER LIE SIDE BY SIDE Lexington, Va., Sept. - The funeral services over the remains of Mr. Julia Jackson Christian took place this morning at the Presbyterian Church. The services were conducted by rev. Thomas L. Preston, D. D. the pastor, assisted by rev. Ebenezer Junkin, D. D. of Houston, Tex. The church was fair and warm. T Eh body was interred beside that of her father, Gen. Thomas J. (Stonewall) Jackson. The scene at the church and grave was unusually pathetic, and many battle-scarred veterans of the Confederacy, with heads bowed and in tears, watched the remains laid to rest. Choice floral offerings came from many places. The funeral party from Charlotte, N. C. left here tonight for home. Notices are out announcing a reunion of Gen. N. B. Forrest’s staff and escort, and all commences who served under him during the late war at Tulhoma, Tenn., September 5, 1889.
