Warm Springs, Meriwether County,
On., August 11.—I promised you n book
about the Springs. And the minuti® of
life here would fill a big one. I am tempt
ed first to tell you about a ride over Pine
mountain and down the right of way of
the rapidly building Georgia Midland rail
road. At 8 o’clock yesterday morning
several of us started out on horseback.
The party consisted of Mr. Chas, I,. Davis,
proprietor of the hotel; Captain Seaton
Clrantlund, president of the Georgia Mid
land railroad, aud wife; Mr. A. O. Black-
mar, cashier of the M. and M. bank, and
the reporter of the Enquirer-Sun. Our
horses were splendid animals. While
waiting for us to mount in front of the
hotel they champed the bits and pawed
the rocks and distended their pink nostrils
in the eagerness of excited anticipation,
which must have been more intense even
than ours. I had not mounted a horse in
years. But I grew up on one. I was
rocked in a saddle instead of a cradle;
and I have never been thrown by a horse
in my life—-that is, any further than the
ground, which is quite an insignificant dis
tance. Still, I remember that 1 was badly
injured one day when I was about ten years
old by monkeying with the southern ter
minus ofa horse. My uncle owned a sor
rel horse which had never been but half
broken, and that half was the front or
portico part of his architecture. The ani
mal was originally stolen from Sherman’s
army, and while it was not the general
impression, still I think my uncle got him
second-handed. I had
A HALF-GROWN WILD CAT.
which would cling to anything with which
it came in contact, with teeth and claws.
It occurred to me, one day, during a mo
ment of infernal inspiration that just as
the old man, my uncle, mounted the sorrel
mustang to ride off, it would accelerate
the animal’s gait and add eclat
and brilliance to the occasion
for me to slip up behind and
heave my gouging wild cat on to the aft
deck of the pony. So when he came out
of the house with his stove-pipe hat on
and his spectacles astraddle his nose to
mount the horse, 1 stood behind him with
my wild cat weapon concealed under my
coat. As he rode off I heaved the cat and
he landed on the mustang’s haunches dig
ging for bottom rock as he lit.
THE SCHEME PANNED OUT,
in the way of eclat and cat claw even more
than J bad expected. I think the mustang
thought the stars were falling, and that
one of the newest and hottest ones had got
into the same pew with him. He squatted
for a section ofa second and then a fog of
dust enveloped the "solitary horseman and
his steed.” The first buck he made he
threw the old man out of his low-quartered
shoes, and after that his movements were
entirely too rapid to be recorded. The at
mosphere was alive with hoofs and hats and
false teeth and profanity. After being
dumped into a pile together, the cat, my
venerable uncle and the;nmstang pony, all
three got to fighting. It was a scene for
sculping. At last the old man—peace to
his ashes—crawled out of the wreck, and
took me by the hair. Gently, like aigroom
leading his bride to the altar, he led me
behind the barn. Tears filled my eyes as I
thought of the visits we had made to the
same dear old spot together in other days
for pretty much the same purpose. The
old man bad brought his bridle-reins with
him and they had a large knot tied in the
end. These frequent encounters between
us were—like all martial encounters—ac
companied by music to inspire the com
batants. On this occasion, my uncle beat
the bones and I sang; hut I had to furnish
the bones and the singing. That was the
only time I was ever severely
injured by fooling wit li a
horse. Pardon this prolix di
gression. After leaving the hotel our com
pany set out in almost a straight line for
Pine mountain. Half way up the moun
tain we stopped to look at
THE VIEW' TO THE NORTHEAST.
It looks like a scene in Switzerland. It
is a panorama, with the firmament for a
roof and the earth for a stage. It is on ex
hibition day and night during all the ages.
The sun and moon are the lamps that light
up it’s pictures—pictures painted by the
Artist who kindled the stars for His tapers,
by which to number the hairs on an in
fant’s head. Far ajvay on the mighty
range, bald peaks loom up at intervals m
the vapory distance, like protecting lions
crouching, rocky aud regardant, on the
frontiers of some invasion-threatened
commonwealth. In the presence
of a contemplation like tins
the mind seizes the crushing concep
tion of omnipotence, like a drowning man
grasping a buoy, ana a man’s.religion it
self becomes a more piercing reality.
These mountains, so motionless and dumb
and grand, are mute moulders of the men
who suck sustenance from their sides.
Rugged countries develop rugged charac
ters. It required the mountains as well as
the men to make Thermopyloe a reality.
Epamiuoudas and his princely three hun
dred, who stood in the terrible mountain
pass that day, quietly combing their yel
low hair for death, might have been
cowards if reared among marshes.
Leaving the first view, our party climbed
on through woods and hushes, and pre
cipitous gulches, toward the top. At
last, when the sun was high
and warm, we reached tin-
summit and paused to rest our panting
horses and look upon another scene
grander if possible than the one we huu
left so reluctantly. After a snort season
of rest we began the descent on the otuer
side, toward
THE GEORGIA MIDLAND RAILROAD Tl X-
NEL.
In an hour we came within the sound of
picks and drills, and at a turn m tue path
we suddenly emerged from the forest tin"
the presence of the great.camp and tin-
tunnel. Numbers of rudely constructed
houses anil stables and temporary wma
shops made the place appear like a mining
camp in Colorado. Scores of swarthy ne
groes and mules went in and out <>
the dark mouth of the tunnel,
the one pulling wheelbarrows und
the others dump carts. llere
and there stood a white “boss wearing a
light suit, somhero and leggings. 1 hous-
andsoftons of yellow earth lay like sm-
plus honey around the gigantic hl\e,
where men and mules crowded m and oat
like busy bees. As we sat on our horses
and gazed down the perpendicular
precipice that led to the mouth of the tun
nel a stalwart and burly negro came slow JJ
out, drawing his big wheelbarrow ot roeK
and clay. His under-jaw was slightlj ajar
and his mouth resembled a cellar-dco
hung with tallow caudles. He was‘ ®
black that the whites of his eyes were
black; but lie looted eh l se am *
eamn j, 8 n ein8 u . mt there was company in

Li dc rich don t pray to hell dey’ll go,

The last line was sung with increasing
gusto. Ami the prospect ol some day sit
ting in the gallery ot another world .is a
mere spectator, and wutehiegt.hu author!-
lies there while they put rich railroad con
tractors o:i the spit to mast, seemed to IIP
his entire black hide with a calm religious
delight. 1 ve got a hundred dollars reward

\\ e can’t do without them. What if
they do kick us, or steal our chickens oc
casionally. They hew our wood and draw
our water, they build our railways, utid
bear our burdens. The nigger and tin-
mule have a kinship of soul. The mule
even follows the nigger into the peniten
tiary, and works with him there, i say all
honor to the nigger and the mule. A 'bot
tle ol whisky and a bundle of fodder will
make the pair of them happy, and they are
the cheapest laborers in the world.
From the tunnel we followed the right
of way of the Georgia Midland for six or
seven miles toward Columbus. Every few
hundred yards we passed a gang of eon
victs, each one overlooked by an armed
guard, who also acted as overseer. At the
end of the seven miles we came to the
convict camp of Contractor H. P. Wood
ruff, whose lather. Mr. D. P. Woodiuif,
was in charge in his son’s absence. After
viewing the camp a few minutes, Messrs.
Blackmar and Davis accompanied Mrs.
Grantland on toward the Springs. Presi
dent Grantland and the Enquirer-Sun
reporter dismounted to make a more
thorough inspection of the camp. The re
port circulated at the Springs to the effect
that President Grantland and the Enqui
rer-Sun reporter were seen, soon after
the rest of the party lett, in tile buss’ tent
INSPECTING A BIG BROWN JUG
with a pail-of tin cups, is a base fnbrica-
| tiun. President Grantland is noted for his
' abstemious habits. And the reporter has
quit, or about quit. He has got down
now to where he only takes one drink at a
time. And il is also untrue that the latter
is such a good judge of whisky that he can
pull the stopper from a bottle of corn
whisky and smell the darkey that hoed
the corn. So far us 1 know prohibition is
thoroughly enforced aud practiced at the
Woodruff camp, hi tact 1 am confident
that there was no jug there. Both land
Presiaent Grantland peeped around for
one, and finally hinted around lor one,
but none came to the surface. We wanted
to find the jug and then reprove the boss
severely for keeping liquor in the camp.
Mr. D. 1’. Woodruff' was very courteous
and did bis best to make our brief stay a
pleasant one. There M ere two convicts in
the hospital convalescing from the lever.
One of these attracted my attention. He
was a handsome youth just twenty-one
years old. He was in seven years for
burglary. One year of his time is gone.
He wss dressed in his suit of stripes and
was reclining on the edge of his bunk.
“Dick,” said the boss, “can’t you get your
harp and give these gentlemen some
music?” We repeated the request our
selves and the young man nodded assent-
ingly with a smile that died prematurely
on his thin white lips. Taking
his harp he walked heavily
toward us, nis great iron shackles clanking
heavily as be came. It was a mournful
sight. This handsome and ruined boy sit
ting there in his irons and his infamy
tuning his harp for the gladness of
strangers. In a moment the music of his
touch floated and frisked on the cir
cumambient air. His tunes were all of a
merry make—laughing and rushing and
rapid. Sometimes when we hear the mer
riest songs how little we dream that the
heart of the singer is breaking. If his was
the music of an imprisoned bird, it was the
music of one that had forgotten the bars
of his cage. In a thoughtless moment I
said, “Dick; play Home, Sweet Home.”
The poor fellow’s pale cheek blanched
whiter, his still, stalwart frame shuddered
slightly and without reply he clutched
his instrument with a tighter grasp. And
then he played “ Home, Sweet Home” as
I never heard it played before. Perhaps
he was playing it with the spirit and the
understanding as few of us can. At any
rate rate, while he played his blue eyes
gazed wistfully over the mountains far
away toward his home, and
A BRIGHT, TREMBLING TEAR
gathered in each one—a tear that I know
was as pure as a virgin’s. In these two
tears
“ How many a tale ot joys Jong lied,
How many u tale of hopes now dead,”
welled up aud struggled for the poor priv
ilege of a tongue and a voice. The young
man’s full name is Richard Hall, and he is
from Gordon county. Asa rule I am not
given to gushing on criminals, but some
how I hope that Dick’s term will be short
ened and that he will wipe out this stain
on his youth before the icy fingers of age
have spattered their frost in his hair.
Mounting our horses, Capt. Grantland
and the reporter were soon in pursuit of
the rest of the party. If Capt. Grantland
can run a railroad as well as he can a
horse, he will make the Georgia Midland a
success. He rode a horseof his own,which
he keeps at the springs—a magnificent ani
mal. f was riding Mr. Charley Davis’
private saddle horse, a famous fox hunter.
They were by far the most mettlesome
steeds in the party. There was just enough
of the old Adam left in the railroad presi
dent and the reporter to set them to hank
ering after a race. Both seemed to divine
the other’s thoughts, but both refrained
from mentioning the subject first. It
would have been a serious compromise of
dignity, especially the reporter’s, to run a
horse race in public. It would liave been
Him ply scandalous. Hut wo wore alone,
shut out from the world, and the tempta
tion to indulge in this secret sin
grew stronger every minute. We
passed the rest of tin; party at a rapid gal
lop and rode on together. I he horses ap
peared to catch the evil inspiration, and
pulled on the hits like demons lending in
nocent men astray. Just as we struck the
last four hundred yards oi level straight
road the railroad president gazed over Ins
shoulder at the reporter with a look that
said loud.T than words. “I iood-bye, young
man, good-live!” Captain Grantland had
surrender, d to the temptation, and tile
nex, second lie shot ahead like a cyclone.
] thought of my pious raising. J thought
of the thrashings I had received for wit
nessing horse races when I was a hoy. But
last of all I thought of the honor (fi the
KNul THKH-Si X. And when 1 did I leaned
over the neck of fox hunter and let him
out. I never saw a horse make such a ter
rific run in my life. IL was like lending
your breath and riding lull speed in the
‘face of a howling storm. ’I he lox hunter
didn't look like a running horse. Ho
looked like a string of horse a hull mile
j 01 i,r Uu curried himself clean by attri
tion'with the air. When 1 reined him up
at the hotel gate, Capt. I.rantiand was
bringing up the rear. When I dismounted
a darkev took the bridle. But at that in
stant something attracted his attention
and he left the horse to himself. Finding
himself loose, the fox hunter walked
leisurely up to where 1 stood on the bottom
sten of tlie hotel, rubbed his nose <iuec-
tioiiatelv against my vest, and gazed at me
with his great dark, swimming eves. I
am relating strictly facts now, and I don t
want to diverge. It may have been imagi
nation with me, but I il vow I thought I
heard that horse say to me:
“Old man,
‘We’ve got no wine at all,
JJut we got thar alt the same. *»•

The Mexican trouble has woke up our
