ANOTHER FIRE.
The Rome Mattress Factory Destroyed
Yesterday Morning.
Another fire occurred in Rome early
yesterday morning, and the Rome
Mattress Factory was the loser.
The building, situated near North
Rome, was burned to the ground and
all contents destroyed. The fire was
discovered shortly after 1 o’clock, and
the department responded promptly
to the alarm. It was too late to do
anything toward saving the building
or contents, however, as they burned
like tinder and were a mass of flames
when the fire was first discovered.
Messrs. George and Pat Allen had
$350 insurance on the contents and
estimate the loss at about SSOO.
One hundred cords of wood in the
yard were also destroy! d.

Nothing else was missed from the

THE jROMJC TJKLBUSiE. WEDNESDAY, CCLOBER 14, 189&,
COBB COUNTY FAIR
Was. Auspiciously Begun al Marietta
Yesterday
CONGRESSMAN MADDOX’ ABLE SPEECH
A Large Crowd 3 Was Prasent and All Were
Pleased With the Excellent
Showing Made,
Marietta, Oct. 13.—Cobb county’s
second annual fair was opened here at
noon today with a speech byJCongress.
man Maddox of Rome. A large crowd
attended, and everything went off
auspiciously.
The first exposition of the kind in
this county was held here last year,
just prior to the opening of the Cot
ton States and International exposi
tion. The exhibits that composed it
were carried to Atlanta and formed
one of the choicest displays of agricul
tural products at Piedmont park.
This year’s fair is larger and super
ior to the first one in many ways. The
arrangement of the exhibits is better
and the specimens of which they
are composed were chosen with
the better sense of collection resulting
from experience. They afford a strik
ing index of the varied agricultural
possibilities of Cobb, as well as make
a picturesque show.
This is probably the largest and
and most important of Georgia’s coun
ty fairs. People from all sections of
the state visited it last year, and will
come again during the present week.
The opening exercises today were ac
companied by a good deal of eclat. Con
gressman Maddox’s speech was non-po
litics!. He dwelt on agriculture and
agricultural interests, and his remarks
were received with enthusiasm by the
audience. The day was ideal, beauti
fully clear and crisp, and all Cobb county
seemed to have turned out to lend enthu
siasm to the occasion.
The fair will last until Saturday. An
interesting racing card for each day dur
ing the continuance has been arranged.
Marietta is the center of probably the
finest live stock section of the stute, and
in it and its vicinity there are a great
number of blooded racers. Nearly all
who are fortunate enough to own such
animals have entered §them for the va
rious contests, and the promise of fine
racing is especially good.
In the free for all race there are entries
from all over the state, and this probably;
will be the greatest event of the affair.
Mr. M. G, Whitlock is president and
Mr. J. G. Mirrow secretary of the Cobb
County Fair Asscciation, under whose
anspices this exposition is being held.

PROF. CARVER HERE.
He is one of the Beading Artists of the
South.
Prof. P. P. Carter, a noted southern
artist, has returned’to the city for the
purpose oi filling commissionsjgiven him
by prominent Romans. Should sufficient
commissions be given him he will remain
during the winter.
He is stopping at Mrs. Gailliard’s, and
at Garfield’s photographic studio he has
several of his portraits and scenes on ex
hibition. Among these is a handsome
portrait of King Career, of Virginia, which
was exhibited at the World’s fair and is a
magnificent piece of work. Another is'of
Mrs. J. H. Marshall, a lady of considera
ble literary ability of Charleston and the
wife of a nephew of the old Chief Justice
Marshall. The portrait is one of undoubt
ed merit. The treatment is simple, in -
deed, and there is nothing to detract
from the features. The face is delicately
handled, the light and shade effects so
placed as to bring out the contour of the
face without the least degree of haresh
ness. The skin is transparent and the
modelling very tine.
Among the scenes is one of an old ne
gress in a cotton patch, true to life and
very striking. Another of a basket of
Georgia peaches. The work is all beauti
ful, and Romans should call and see
them. z
Among a number of pictures painted by
Mr. Carter for South Carolina are sev
eral of great importance, which were on
exhibition at the Atlanta Exposition.
Among the lot is one of Gov. Tillman,
which is said to be a very line piece of
work. One also of Gen. Kershaw is
equally good, and that of Gov. Gary
Evans is pronounced to be among the
best of the recent productions of the
arstist. Gens. Marion, Moultrie, Sump
ter and Pickens adorn the State House at

IN NATURAL COLORS.
Lifelike Tints Imparted to an Ordinary
Photograph.
It has been known for a long time
that if the sun’s rays are allowed to
shine upon the glass side of a photo
graphic negative and the eye is brought
into the proper position it is possible
to see the positive picture in the origi
nal natural colors of the object photo
graphed. From a scientific standpoint
this is sometimes a matter of very
great importance. In order to bring out
this quality of a negative independently
of the sun’s rays Professor Li ppm ana
has, after long study, constructed an
apparatus which enables him to obtain
the same result with artificial light. He
employsagas lamp with a’Welsbach
burner, the rays of which are thrown
upon the negative by means of a lens,
in order to have the rays strike the neg
ative parallel.
The negative is for the purpose
mounted upon a wooden stand with a
black polished surfaej. Another large
lens, held in a black frame, is mounted
on a separate stand, and a diaphragm
held upon the same stand is provided
immediately in front of the focus of
this larger lens. To see the picture in
all its natural beauty of color the angle
at which the negative is examined must
be exactly the same as the angle at
which the parallel rays strike it. It is
in the reflection of the light rays and
its distribution through th eh larger lens
that the picture, which is fastened upon
the negative in dull black tones, is
agein dissolved into its original re
splendent beauty. Aside from its scien
tific importance, it is a matter of con
siderable moment, for instance, in re
production of portraits in oil after a
photograph, since tints of hair, eyes
and complexion are plainly discernible
in the artificially colored positive thus
produced from the black negative.—Ex
change.
The Dangers of Divers.
The greatest danger to those who dive
into the sea for valuables that have
been sunk is that of falling asleep.
On a hot day the contrast between
the heat aboye and the delicious cool
ness below water is apt to make a diver
sleepy. One of these men stated that
| he once slept half an hour at the bot-
I tom of a wreck, where he was laying a
pipe.
Supposing that had happened in a
channel where the tide runs so swiftly
that a diver can work only during the
one hour of slack water, the deadly
rush of tide would have snapped the
lifeline and hose. Then in working
wrecks there is the danger of getting
jammed in between freight or of get
ting the hose or line entangled. When
the hose snaps at a great depth the tre
mendous pressure kills the diver. He is
frightfully distorted by it.—Pearson’s
Weekly.
i Steam Whistles.
The cause of sound in a steam whistle
is the same as in any form of whistle
or an organ pipe—viz, a vibration of
the atmosphere induced by a vibration
feet up in a steam jet directed against
the edge of the bell, the vibration of
the air or steam column in the bell in
fluencing the tone according to its length
and diameter.—New York Ledger.
In New Jersey wheat raising costs
$20.29 per acre. Therefore the Jersey
man cultivates vegetables and berries
for the markets of New York and Phil
adelphia.
