ochre dug in this county. We have mil
lions of tons of it, and analjzation has
shown it to be the very best. Weil, we’ll
carry samples of ochre and then several
barrels of it for the use of paint factories.
“In cities where there are factories of
thia kind, I go to the presidents and tell
them of the car and the ochie samples.
He sees them, makes a test, and knows
at once its value. I ask him how much
he can use and at what price. He replies
that if we can come up to sample he can
take so many hundred tons a month at
say s2o*or S3O a -ton. There is not the
slightest doubt about the quality or quan
tity of the stuff, and when I return I
have orders for tons upon tons of it.
Then I show these to a capitalist, show
him the ochre, and he closes the contract,
buys u p ochre properties and starts facto
ries. Paint factories will follow, and the
development continues. This is not
chimerical. I knofvthe value of the ochre
and simply make a plain business propo
sition. -<
“Again, these counties are rich in
Jbauxite. With the exception of a little
| in Alabama, thia state and Arkansas con
tain the only bauxite in the union, and
ours is infinitely better than Arkansas,
’ not containing so much silica. Out of
® this we get aluminum, the coming metal.
Cave Spring is a
1 ton, t. o. b. there. The new York price*
is $lO a ton. Our car will touch alumi-
' num factories at Syracuse, Willmington
1 and other points. We will give tht-n^ 1
1 samples,ani let them see the qua.ity for
themselves. There is no doubt about
1 the result, and we will bring back orders
’ for 10,000 tons in my opinion. These we
will turnover to a capitalist, who will
1 have no trouble in making the contracts
' or filling them.
“You see this is the best part of the
business, I want to develop and get or
ders for raw material that is valuable,
but not known to the world. We will
show it in a practical business way.
“ Then the clays here are of better
quality than I know of anywhere. Tests
have been made showing them to make
the very best fine brick. In a Bessemer
furnace at Pittsburg they held out long
er than any others. The Illinois Brick
Works at Chicago has already become so
interested that they want a car load,
which Mr. Clark will send them. The
furnaces in the south are paying from
$25 to $35 a ton for fire brick, when we
can make better out of our own clay.
The supply is simply inexhaustible. We
will carry samples of the Borne Brick
Co., to show what sort of brick are be
ing made and show the possibilities. We
will show the clays to the factories and
practical good must be the result at once.
“Then we have the best slate in the

ACUTE IMAGINATION.
Instances of Tricks the Brain Has Played
On Mortals,
It is said that souio 20 years ago a long
. wooden box, resembling a plain pauper’s
coffin, might be seen inside the north
aisle of Westminster abbey. For two
days it was passed without notice by the
many people who visited the minster.
1 Then complaints were made to the police
officer at the door that the smell arising
from the body contained in the box was
not only disagreeable to pass near it, but
that it was a disgrace to allow it to re
main there. A strong sense of duty, said
one of the complainants, impelled him
to draw attention to the scandal. The
policeman at once called a verger, who
found on inquiry that the box was
empty and had never been used to con
ceal a corpse. However, he had the box
removed, and in this way prevented the
recurrence of the horrid smells of which
visitors to the abbey had complained.
A still more curious case of the way
in which the imagination may usurp the
senses of smell and sight is recorded of a
jßspital patient. Two Paris medical
[men interested in this subject of freaks
and delusions of the imagination told
the patient that in order to cure him
both his legs would need be amputated.
The man was thunderstruck. Until that
moment he had imagined himself to be
I improving in health.
I “Oh! good doctors,” he exclaimed in
I accents of terror, “you have made some
mistake. There is nothing wrong with
me. If my legs are cut off, what will

CLOTHING, HATS AND SHOES. .
We have on hand a special stock of Medium and Fine Clothing. Besides our regular
lines direct from the manufacturers, a recent great auction sale at Cincinnati gave us
some rich plums for those who wear coats, pants and vests. It was a panic sale at panic
prices. The goods are here. Do not miss the chance if you need clothing. (2d floor.)
We buy our Hats from the hat makers No middle maa grabbing for middle profits. We buy our goods

We are at home on the Shoe subject. We buy and sell more shoes than any merchant in this portion of Georgia.
We do it by the force of the selling price. Woman’s g >od heavy wear shoes 75c. Ladies’ good Glove Grain Button

simply unmatchable. After buying it once you would have it again even if it cost you a five dollar bill.
Come to see us for fine shoes, and come to our place for anything in anv of our other lines if you have a mind
and that mind teaches you to save money. We will sell you what you want if you will give us a chance.
Some lines of the James stock will be sold 20 per cent under cost, and many lines of our stock will be sold at

first criminal, “are condemned to swal

turning to the next, “will be bled Io

man, who was trembling violently,
“will die from an injection of poison in

Each criminal was placed in a chair,
pinioned and blindfolded. Then said the
governor, looking at his watch:
“Now, doctor, you may begin.”

The man clinched his teeth and refused
to drink the poison.
“Kill me!” he cried. “Murder me in
any way but this!” Before he could
speak again the jailers seized him and
forced the liquid down his throat.
“Ho will be dead in two minutes,”
whispered the doctor to the governor.
The criminal heard the remark and
gave a blood curdling shriek. When
the doctor turned round, he saw that
the man apparently fainted. He turned
to the next criminal, who tremblingly
awaited his fate. He clinched his teeth,
recovered himself and met the doctor’s
inquiry, “Are you ready?” with the
“Yes” of a stoic. His arm was then
pierced with a lancet, though no vein
was opened.
“You see how pale he has become,”
said the doctor in the man’s hearing.
“He is losing blood rapidly.” The phy
sician went on describing the symptoms
an& at length pronounced the words,
“Now he's dying!” For a moment the
prisoner shuddered violently. Then he
became still. The doctor looked at the
criminal, Isent his ear to the ma n's heart,

This unlookri for result, although it
merely anticipated by a day the actual
hanging of the criminal, at once caused
the experiments to be suspended. By
this time the first prisoner had recov
ered, as though from a bad dream, but
the third man was heard slowly mur
muring the Lord’s Prayer ere he received
the “poisonous” injection. He gave a
mad cry of joy when he learned that his
death would not occur until the morrow.
Another remarkable but less deadly
trick played by the imagination is often
noted. Many people conceive an aver
sion for some particular flower, perfume
or color. One man, noted for this idio
syncrasy, hated green colors. He had a
notion—how it orignated no one can tell
—that green was dangerous to him. Ac
cordingly he was rarely able to go out
into the country except at night.—Mil
