Republicans Attention.

In Bccordane? with a call of the Republican Stnto Central Committee, the republicans of the^several townships of Jasper county ami all w|io wish to co-operate with them will meet at the usual place of township meetings in their respective townships, on Saturday, January nth, ls:>0 , at 2 o’clock F. M, for the transactionof the following business: First. Elect from each voting precinct a member of the county central committee. The committeemen so chosen will meet in the office of M. F. Chilcote, in Rensselaer, pp Saturday, Jan. 18, 1890, at 2 o’clock p. in., and elect the usual officers and an executive committee of three or five members. Second. Elect delegates and alternate delegates to attend a district convention of the 10th congressional district to be held at Hammond on Thursday, Jan. 23, 1890. The different townships will be entitled to delegates as follows: 8ark1ey....... 1 Marion...... 3 Carpenter..... 2 Milroy 1 Gi11am........1 Newton..... .1 Hanging Grove 1 Union 1 J0rdan........! Walker I Kankakee 1 Wheatfield.. 1 Keener 1 Total; ~ .16 The business of the convention at Hammond will be to elect a member of the State Central Committee for the Tenth Congressional District J M. F. Chilcote, Chairman of Jasper Co. Rep. C. C. G. E. Marshall, Secy. -.-~

The death of Henry W. Grady, the brilliant orator and editor of the Atlanta Constitution, oecured laet Monday morning. In his death the nation has lost one of its ablest and broadest minded leaders of the southern states. He died at the comparatively early age of forty years, and was thus cut off at the very beginning of a career of great honor and usefulness. . The year 1889 has not been a bad one for Rensselaer, as the summary of improvements, published elsewhere, will amply prove. The installation of the electric light plant is the great feature of the year, and itself marks a long step in advance in the way of improvement. The building of what is, by far, the finest church iu the county, is also a very notable item, and one calling for special gratulations, especially as the town has, heretofore, been more deficient in the respect of church architecture than in any other particular. In the matter of new residences built, a subject for gratification is found in the fact that many of them are not - only comfortable and roomy structures, but are so attractive from an architectural point of view. As an ocular proof of the excellence of these new dwellings, it may be noted that the average cost of six of the beat is over twenty-one hundred dollars each.

The official call for the first organising conventions of the campaign of 1890 appears in thia ism of Tbs Bsmuco. As a

state campaign the contest of this year will be, without doubt, a tremendous struggle. Now, if ever, isthe time to wrest the control of, the state from the rule of the Gerrymander bulldozers and Green Smith usurpers, by reason of whose infamous methods the state to-day i in the United States Senate by a man who was virtually defeated before the people by a majority of ten thoueand votes. While by reason of .these same villainous Gerrymanders the 263 thousand Republican voters in the state are represented in the lower house of Congress by only three members, while the 261 thousand Democratic voters, have ten representatives in the same body. Eighty-seven thousand Indiana Republicans are equal to only twenty six thousand democrats, in . p< idical power in the Congress of this nation! Let the great camj paign of 1890 wipe out this menu|menial injustice; and for that grand object let every true llepublieau do his full share, at every opportunity, beginning with these first organizifigliOnveDtioDs. The first call of the States for the introduction of bills was made Wednesday of last week in the House of Congress, and the following were presented by Hon. W. D. Owen: “Authorizing a survey for the purpose of establishing a continuous waterway from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi river (the Hennepin canal); amending the Revised Statutes so as to provide that all pensions which have been or which may hereafter be granted in consequence of death occuring from causes which originated in the service since March 4, 1865, or in consequence of wounds or injuries received, or diseases contracted, shall commence from the death or discharge of the person on whose account the claim has been or is hereafter granted for the disability prior to the discharge, and if such disability occurred after discharge, then from date of actual disability, or from termination of the right of party having prior title to such pension; to aid in the establishment and temporary support of common schools; appropriating SIOO,OOO for a public building at Logansport; providing that catalogues of all institutions of learning, and reports or minutes of religious or benevolent institutions shall be tra nspcikd tLi<u{) J< mails without limitation, as to the intervals of issue.”

Broken Arm and Broken Neck.

Ijtst Sunday John McColly, son of of Willis McColly, and about 12 years old, went out from Fair Oaks riding on a pony, and with him was a young man named Dick Mallatt When about 4of a mite from town JMallatt’s horse ran into McColly’s l>ony, which caused the boy to be thrown off so violently as to break one of the bones of the right forearm, and to dislocate the right elbow joint He was also badly bruised about the head and abdomen. The pony ran towards town and Young Mallatt pursuetl it until finally the pony jumped over a feuce and broke its neck. The ]»ony was the property of T. H. Davisson. Young Mallatt by-tlie-way, is the indentical chap, who about two months ago, dropped his knife on the trigger of his shot gun and thereby filled the leg of a boy named Kessler with shot He seems to be a mighty unlucky boy—for the other fellows. Dr. Washburn who has charge of the case reports that the injured boy is doing well.

SOUTHERN BUSINESS ENTERPRISE.

[Written forTmc Heitblican.| There is no question* that the South at the present time affords rare chances, where prices are not already inflated, for those who desire to invest theit surplus capital in real estate in the growing towns and cities. There are also many localities where manufacturing industries are much needed, and the conditions of success are so evident that it is not surprising that thousands have already availed themselves of these opportunities, aind other thousands are contemplating a change at the earliest possible moment. Wherever employes can find a MILD AND HEALTHY CLIMATE, and have their household expenses reduced to a minimum, in that place they can save the most money at the least wages, and this condition is the most favorable for the employe), because without diminishing his profit, it secures him the-market against all competition. To illustrate: In this part of Northern Alabama, outside the large cities, and in a good railroad town, half-acre building lots can be bought for SIOO, lumber sells from $6 to sl2 per thousand, and the problem of purchasing a home by a inech; nic is easily solved. It costs to build and complete a good tasteful four-room cottage from S2OO to $250. The rent of the same is about $5 per month. With good surrounding farm land, at from $2.25 to $7 per acre, because of short, mild winters and large crops, living is cheap, Flour costs 83.75 to $4 j er bbl. corn 50 cents per bushel, Irish and , sweet potatoes 30 to 40 cents, fresh j beef from 5 to 10 cents per pound, sorghum of excellent quality, 30 cents per gallon; coal is $2 25 to $3 per ton, and wood can be had for the cutting. A half acre of fruit and vegetables, included in house ■ rent, will abundantly supply aI large family. Cow-keep for the year, amounts to but little more than three or four months winter forage. Fires are kept for heating during three or foui months only, and even then but for a portion of the day. Thus it will be seen that the household expenses are merely nominal, and hence such 1 MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISES as require a large number of operatives, as cotton and woolen mills, fruit canning, the manufacture of leather goods, furniture agricultural implements, etc., must necessarily be profitable. Interest is high, 8 per cent being the legal rate, and although money is often loaned at 20 per cent in small amounts, yet mortgages are very rare, except as part of purchase money for farms, and mortgage sales are seldom heard of. The high rate of interest is caused by the influx of immigrants with small capital, who purchase land and make improvements, the profit of their crops enabling them to pay such a large percentage for the use of money. Those farmers who owe on purchase money, are Rapidly paying up their indebtedness from the products of farm crops, Real eetate taxes are light, being only onehalf to three-quarters of one per cent, on a valuation of $2.25 per acre. THE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES, although few, when not mis man- ■ aged, are without exception very i successful, and are yearly increasing their capacity. The rental value of real property in the cities, according to their. population, is mjichhigber than in towns of corresponding size in the North. The rental value of farm , land is much in excess of the mar-. ket price; thus, land which has a rental value of $5 per acre, can be bought for from $7 to $lO. The high price of property and consequently high rents in cities are caused by the system of “AIDS AND INDUCEMENTS,” which land and improvement companies offer to those who come South seeking for localities for the establishment of manufactories, or the investment of capital. A syndicate of capitalists, a combination of northern and southern Yankees, organize to ‘'boom" or build a southern town to benefit —themselves. First they buy, say 2,000 acres of land, contiguous to some old village, or elsewhere, it matters but little where, if cheap,; at not exceeding an average of five or six dollars an acre, or say $12,000. They then proceed to organize a laud and improvement company with a capital stock of $2,000,000, obtain a certificate of incora-| tion, and pay for the stock with ■ the aforesaid $12,000 worth of land, i They now transfer about 40 per' cent, of the stock, or SBOO,OOO, into the treasury as “treasury stock" or working capital, and an advertisement fund, the balance, $1,200,000, the syndicate quietly slip into their • i

own pockets as an investment The coiripany is now ready for business. It proceeds to LAY OUT A CITY in lots, streets, aventies and parks, and obtain a city charter, and employ a small force of men to commence grading streets, etc. A liotel company, a street u.ilwav company, a water supply company, an electric light company, and probably an ice company are nqjw. organized, and the subscription to the stock of each is paid for from the said “treasury” stock, except so far as outside capital can be induced to invest. All this is duly advertised and the foundation of a great city is laid, and its success assured—on paper. The land is scheduled at an average pi ice of SI,OOO per acre, or S2OO per lot, and the same is placed on the market for sale. A manufacturer comes South to look for a location and an “inducement” for his shoe factory. The manager of our Land Company smilingly meets him, shows him the hotel site, the incipient water works, the-partially graded streers, the prospective railvay and ti e foundation of the electric plant ai.d ice factory, He offers to our manufacturer, a gift of SIO,OOO in stock or ten acres of land, for the site of the proposed factory, which is to employ 100 men. He also offers him an additional $3,000 in stock, if within six months he will erect a building worth not less than $6,000. The manufacturer is astounded at such unheard of liberality, and consequently locates, not thinking that here as a matter of fact malarial fevers are prevalent for three or four months of the year. The city is located on a beautiful river, but which in these days of railroads, he, in his business, would never think of utilizing, and which as a matter of business economy, he never could utilize. Now, let us examine the “inducement” The ten acres of land, at $6 per acre, costs the land company S6O; the 40 per cent, additional cost, as an improvement fund, increased the cost $24, making the total cost SB4. The $3,000 stock on the same basis, costs $25.20, making the total cost of the “inducement” $109.20. Our manufacturer will invest $6,000 in building and probably as much more in machinery for the privilege of locating in this magnificent city— to be, andacnsh ■premium of $109.20. He is to employ one hundred men, and this means that interest at 8 per cent or rent must be pnid upon 100 houses, built on the 1000acre land, and food and merchandise for the 500 persons constituting the families of these employes must be bought of grocers and merchants, who also pay the same interest or rent on the same valuation. All this added expense must be included in the wages of the 100 employes, which enter into the cost of the boots and shoes our manufacturer produces, and which in turn is deducted from our manufacturer’s profit for an indefinite number of years, for what? For the nominal ffifl of $23,000, having the entrinsic value of $109,20! Again an investor comes South to invest his savings. The manager of our land company is still smiling, takes him in his barouche with bis colored driver to see the enterprises, in this rapidly growing town; he points with pride to the street grading, the foundation of the waterworks, the partially laid track of the street railway, the machinery of the electric plant, the walls of the grand hotel, and the uncompleted building of the shoe factory. He is also assured that there are two or three iron furnaces, a large iron foundry, a cotton mill or two, and numberless minor enterprises, all very anxious to locate in the only available “model” -city pf the South, in which in a few years every building lot will be worth its weight in gold. He is also assured that there is no question as to the future, that money invested here will bring a rich harvest to the investor with no risk. Says he:“This shoe factory will need a hundred houses for its workmen, which are soon to be employed, and to show you our confidence, we will make you this guarantee, that if you w ill buy those ten lots at S2OO each, which is our bottom price, and build on each a house costing not less than SSOO each, if the investment does not pay you 8 per cent above taxes, and commissions for five years, we will be responsible for the deficiency.” Here is another generous offer: Our investor says, surely (here can be no risk here; the land company ought to know—know what? Thev ought to know that the said ten lota or two acres of land coat them $16.80, and that they are selliag them at a net profit of 51984.90, which with intareat added for

five years, They that they will for rents in any locality, at least 10 per cent the rest of the buildings, or J ear, which for five ye«rs will amount to $2,500. They kuoW also tliAt the initerest on our investor’s $7,000. for the five years, will amount to $2,800, and adding 10 per cent, for com mission sand other expenses, it will make an aggregate of $3,080, or a loss of SSB for the same five y?ars. This Joss deducted from the net profit of $2,777.88 leaves the company a suug sum of $1,197.88 by the operation,, and rhe m&nager—smiles again. All these transactions are widely advertised, and the wonderfull progress of this “magic" city is heralded in all the northern metropolitan journals by special reporters, paid for this purpose. This scheme has been success, ful in connection with one or two cities which would have become metropolilan in spite of it, owii g to other causes, and now scores of towns and country villages, each have a land company, and offers its “inducements” to rhe uortiiern investor, and whenever etich ‘inducements” are sought for, they will be found. Far be’it from us to depreciate the association of persons or capital for the encouragement of any industrial enterprise, because there are many localities possessing peculiar natural advantages, which otherwise would be ’ unknown, and a little stimulant is often net only necessary but healthy; but the reaction following intoxication often produces dans gerous, if not fatal depression.- -S. A. F., Cullman, Ala., Oct. 19,1889
