2 UP ON ARMURCHEE Water Ground Meal and Wheat and How It Is Made. WHY SO SWEET AND HEALTHFUL Mirny Roma.. Has Visited this Mill* Mil ler Ross Explains the Precess of Scab Wright’s Mill. The tollowing appeared in Sunday’s Atlanta Constitution: Eight miles (north of Rome the fa mous Indian fishing stream, Armuohee week, tumbles down from the moun tains into the rich bottom lands of the Oostanaula valley. Fifty years ago, where the Summer ville pike crosses this stream, Uncle Johnnie Williamson, one of the pioneers of North Georgia, dammed up its crys tal waters until they forced their way through the swift revolving water wheel, and then for the first time the forests echoed to the * ‘click of the mill,” and the Indian corn crushed between the “upper and nether mill stones” fell into the hoppers white as snow, and “sweeter than the honeycomb.” The music of the corn rocks was mingled with the song of the wheat rocks as the golden grain went crushed and pulverized between their mighty weight to the sack of the mill boy under the spout. This mill now belongs to Hon. Bea born Wright. When I asked him about “water-ground flour and meal,” he said: “Uncle Johnnie Williamson told me one day that the flour of those good old days was golden, like a rich cream, and the meal as white as the ring around a wild goose’s neck. But now, he declared, they have got flour like skimmed milk and meal like a ‘yallerhammer’s’ tail.” For twenty years the wheel turned and the stones sang of the field and opulent harvests. -Then the war came. The farmer left his plow in the furrow, and with musket in hand went to Vir ginia. After a while the mill boy, frowned at by their sweethearts, went, too. Then the wheat stones ceased their song Only now and then a snatch of a tune was heard from the corn burrs— the mill went to decay. The war ended with no seed wheat in the bin and only a few nubbins in the crib, but cotton was a dollar a pound! So the new owners of the old mill rolled the wheat rocks under the mill house and put a cotton gin in their place. The old mill with the corn rocks getting only a bite now and then, and its cotton shirt growing thinner year by year till the winter of 1895, when it collapsed. The wheat rooks have again displaced the gins. Water Ground vs. Merchant Milling. Now, as to the practical part of the story. A short while ago Hon. Seaborn Wright bought this water power, fur nished the money to erect a new mill building, new race and dam. John Ross, the best miller in the Cherokee coun try, furnishes the brains and experience to run it. John Ross makes his meal this way: • ‘The large white Indian corn is selected and bought in the ear. Before it is shelled the little end is cut oft, so as to leave none but large whole grains on the ear. After it is shelled it is poured into the bin, where the chaff is blown out. Though the burrs are large and the power ample to grind with great rapid ity, they are not run fast, so that the The woman ? wli ° k * lls ba^e fc y ncs '' ■ °f the It health “ivigor of her S own womanly organism during the period preced ing motherhood, is inno cently and without realiz ing it, as much responsible her child’s death, as the d woman who slays her >e after its birth. Thou ids of babes are still-born every year because women in nocently and ignorantly neglect, during the expectant period, to take proper care of the delicate and important organs that bear the burdens of maternity. There is just one known medicine that prepares a woman for capable motherhood. It is Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It acts directly and only on the organs con cerned in motherhood making them strong and healthy. It imparts to them vigor and elasticity. It allays inflammation, heals ulceration, soothes pain and gives rest to the tortured nerves. It does away with the discomforts of the expectant period, and makes the coming of baby easy and almost painless. It insures the health of baby. Over 90,000 have testified to its virtues. All good druggists sell it. "In the fall of 1803.” writes Mrs. N. A. Thomas, of 400 Pulaski St, Little Rock, Ark., “while on a visit to Texarkana, Ark., I was taken with a se vere pain in my head and was hardly able to get home. I was prostrated for four weeks, not being able to sit up. During that time the doctors failed to give me any refief whatever. At length I was induced to try Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre scription. One bottle cured me entirely. I felt relieved after the first three doses, and have never felt the pain since. I send this testimonial that others may be benefited by it. Yours with a thousands thanks.” It is as much a woman’s duty to look after the health of the family as to care for the cleanliness of the home.

Or for cloth binding, send ten cents extra, 31 cents in all. meal as it pours from the spout falls cool and sweet.” - The merchant miller, whether using steam or water power, makes bls meal this way: “He gets 99 per cent of his corn from the west, shelled in sack or bulk in oar load lots. The grain is small and hard, not clean and has scarcely any of the sweetness of the big southern corn. This western corn is shelled in great quanti ties, to be nsed’in feeding hogs or men, as the oase may be. When the merchant miller grinds it from the vast bin in the upper story it pours into fast revolving corn rooks, from which it pours out hot and putrid, and is sacked for cityjtrade.” In comparing the two methode of meal making, Mr. Wright remarked: “Is it any wonder that Bill Draper, Charley Kingsbery, Joel Chandler Har ris and all southern 'men sigh for the fat corn pones of their boyhood days?” Coat of Pure Wheat JFlour. The various publications.in The At lanta Constitution on the subject .of waterground meal and flour have ore ated widespread interest. A correspond ent of The Constitution claims that the people will always buy the cheapest flour and that it was necessary to meet this demand by adulteration. As Mr. Wright does not sell flour, although he has received orders from Texas to Vir ginia since The Constitution published his article on'the subject, he can afford to give inside cost figures on pure wheat flour, which he says are as follows: “Take two and a.half bushels of wheat (150 pounds,) costing $2.50. Deduct one-eight for mill toll and there is left 130 pounds, yields of flour and about thirty pounds of bran. Add 10 cents for sacking, making the total cost $2.60, and deduct 20 cents for value of the bran, and the cost of the flour is seen to be $2.40. ” This compared to cost of the flour sold in the stores shows that pure flour can be sold at a reasonable price. Mr. Wright is enthusiastic on the sub ject of wheat raising. Any mdn, he says, can make money raising wheat and peas. Not only make money, but make his land. Cotton at 5 cents per pound means universal ruin; wheat and peas, universal prosperity. The way to induce the people to plant wheat is to rebuild the little wheat mills. A good wheat mill can be equipped for SSOO. It is simply marvel ous the increase in wheat raising since the Armuohee mill was rebuilt. Scarcely a farmer in that entire section who does not raise his own wheat for- bread. Be sides what is consumed, over fifteen thousand bushels of home raised wheat was sold in Rome this year, ‘ * W hen wheat is harvested next year,” says Mr. Wright, “lam going to get Frank Stanton and take him up to my mill. I want him to see the farmer come in with this golden grain and the mill boy with his sack of -white corn on his pony, and the boy on the sack. I want him to listen to the fall of the water and the song of the burrs; get his hair ful of Hour and his mouth full of sweet meal—then shut bis eyes and dream and dream, until he sings the sweetest song since Tom Moore died.” Houstoun R.

Washington, Dec. 20.—The policy which Germany is pursuing in the Pa cific is a matter of much speculation here. It is generally believed that the emperor has simply been influenced by his desire to secure the passage by the reichstag of the bill to increase the German navy. It was said at the navy department that Germany is expending $9,000,000 during the year 1897-98 for vessels under construction. One battle ship and two gunboats have been au thorized, but work has not yet been commenced upon' them. The vessels under construction include two first class battleships, one armored cruiser,, five protected cruisers, one torpedo boat destroyer and eight torpedo boats. The report that Germany proposes to seize Hawaii and Samoa is regarded as ridiculous by administration officials. Germany has little interest, as com pared to other nations, in the Hawaiian Islands. It is estimated that her inter ests in Samoa are large. The last ad ministration was willing to renounce the treaty of June 14, 1889, between the United States, Great Britain and Ger many, Mr. Olney informing the Ger man ambassador here that “the treaty is unsatisfactory to the United States and is one which its interests require to be essentially modified or altogether abrogated. ’ ’ President proposes that the United States shall retain its grip on Samoa and will agree to no propositsou which contemplates the turning over of she share of this government in Samoa ;o either Germany or Great Britain. »j»SkvuCU LU 4.H.

Wyley Snyder, a Former Rome Boy, Ac cidently Kills a Man In Florida. A copy of the Jacksonville (Fla). Times-Union and Citizen, received here tells of the killing of a negro in that city last Thursday by J. Wyley Snyder, a former citizen of Rome. The negro grossly insulted Snyder, and a fight ensued between them. In the scuffle the pistol was accident ly discharged, the bullet piercing the negro’s heart. The paper says of the coronor’s inquest: * ‘The testimony showed that Snyder first struek Palmer in the head with a pistol, that a souffle followed, and in the scuffle the pistol was discharged, the jury holding that while an assault was made by Snjder for the purpose of resenting insulting words used by Palmer, yet that Snyder did not in tend to effect death.” Snyder was discharged, the jury rendering a verdict of accidental Killing.
