BERESFORD’S BOOK.
The Adventurer Makes a Racy
Writer,
GAMBLING WITH WALES.
Killing a Tiger in India and
Bucking a Tiger in France.
Interesting Reading.
Tbe advance sheet of Beresford’s book
are out, and copious extracts printed
in the Atlanta Journal furnish racj
reading.
The bogus Lord tells of killing tiger in
India, playing biccorat with the priuc<
of Wales at Monte Carlo, and bucking a
tiger in San Francisco.
It is all rich and racy, but the raciest
of all is his account of his first trip to
Rome, which is as followt:
He tells of his departure from New
York to Rome, Ga., and of his visit next
day to the Etna property, in company
with the Hamiltons. Os this he says:
“In due course we reached our desti
nation, and Mr. Alexander Hamilton
drove me all over the place in his buggy,
and from what I saw, together with his
reports and statistics, I was favorably
impressed. After supper Mr. Alexander
Hamilton and Mr. McGuire and myself
had a long consultation, every detail be
ing entered into, and at the conclusion of
the interview I had almost decided to'
make the trade. The price asked was ’
five hundred thousand dollars fo’the
property, with the understanding that an
additional five hundred thousand happen
on building a hotel, bank, car wheel shop,
et “ Mr. Alex. Hamilton painted every
thing in the most glowing colors, and
among other things said that the profits
on the car wheel shops alone wou.d be
tfn thousand dollars a month. This
seemed rather too good to be tiu", and
Mr. McGuire tried to smooth over the
error, but it made an impression on m<
that I did not forget. Early next morn
ing Mr. McGuire left for New York, and
his last woidi to me were eulogies of the
honor of tbe Hamiltons, and expressed
the hope that I vsou’d consummate the
trifle with tbem.
“I remained at Etna for another day.
and had several conversations with ths
Hamilton brothers, aud before leaving
agreed to go to E igland aud form a com
pany to raise one million dollars for the
purchase and improvement of Etna tow n
and furnace.
••Mr. Aleck Hamilton expressed a de
sire co retain an interest in tbe property.
an.ni was finally decided that he_ won d
ifcLundred and fipyluousard d< -
a;.c? iu c.i-h.
then took me for a
forgetting to point out the va
rious buildings and lots owned by the
different members of his family.
“After di o’hor drive i ■: a closed
carriage and a call on Col. D. B. Hamil
ton, father of the young men whom I
have already mentioned. The Colonel
received me with open arms and made me
promise to dine at his bouse on the fol
lowing day. Ou our return to Mr. Al
fred’s house found several sisters, cous
ins and aunts, and there was evidently
a preconcerted arrangement to treat me
right royally. I did not obj ct and, in fact
enjoyed myself immensely. My firsi
stay in Rome will always boa pleasura
ble remembrance. I had a taste of true
southern hospitality, which is seldom
equaled and never excelled.
“My second visit, however—but, as
Rudyard Kipling says, ‘ I'hat is another
storv.’
“We had a musical evening, both Miss
A. and Miss C. being accomplished musi
cians. The latter also afforded us con
siderable merriment by her quaint ren
dering of some plantation ditties. _
“Before retiring Mr. Alfred asked me
at what time I usual y breakfasted. I

usual tnea hour, but as he insisted I told
him that I generally partook of my matu
rinal repast between 9 and 10 o’clock.
Ho courteously made mo bCditvc that
this hour exactly suited his domestic
arrangements, although at the '.time I
thought I noticed a slight elevation cf I
nis eyebrows, betokening surprise. I
ave since learned that he and bis fami
y invariably breakfasted nt 7 o’clock,
■nd that I must have materially upset
noir culinary arrangement.
“Ou wishing me good night Mr. Ham
ton said he wou d have me called at
B:3D. I had a good uighi’s rest, and was
-.till in the arms of Morpheus, dreaming
>f mountains of iron orc, colossal hotel
nuddings and myself president of the
new Etna bank, when I was awakened by
a loud knocking at the door, was
considerably ami zed when a regro serv
■nt with a most serious faca greeted me
wi h the following question:
“ ‘My God ! Ain’t, you up yet?’
“At first I thought the man was crazy,
and was convinced ih»t he certainly was
quite out of his mind when I asked him
if be could bring me a little hot water, he
replied:
“‘Done brought it! My God! Outside
de doab.’
“At the breakfast table I repeated what
the darky had said, and my hearers were
convulsed with laughter. It appears that
Mr. Hamilton had instructed the serv
ants toe ill me ‘My Lord,’ and they bad
been a little mix. d as to the word. The
clirnuX was reached when a bright mu
latto girl c ima into the room with a
plate < f hot. biscuits, walked directly to
my side, and modestly raid, in a tone of
iwe, ‘My G< d, have a biscuit?’
“Shortly after breakfast the carriage
was ordered, and I went with Mr. Har
per Hamilton to his office, where Col
onel D. B. Hamilton awaited me, and
here made final arrangements to take
he whole of tbe Etna property for the
sum of one million dollars, under the
condition agreed upon with Mr. Aleck
Hamilton.
“The transaction was in fact ccn
eluded, although no papers were signed,
but it was distinctly understood that all
docum. nts would be prepared ready for
signature by the time I returned from
E igland, which I expected would be in
,ne mouth. With Colonel Hamilton’s
knowledge, I cabled to Mr. Pendleton, in
London:
“ ‘Decided to purchase whole of Etna.’
“Not only Colouel Hamilton aud his
sons expressed their gratification that
the trade was made and castles in the air
were p’eitifully built by all parties con
... rded. A beautiful repast was prepared
et ihe - I met
member of the family, Colonel
barks Harper, who a'so wentinto eu
stacies over Etna, and congratulated me
m ob aining such a magnificent invest
ment.
“During the whole of my stay in Rome
I was not introduced to a living soul out
side the Hamilton’s immediate family
circle, so I bad no opportunity of ac
quiring any information from anyone,
even had I been so inclined.”
He goes on to say that someone on the
train told him that the Etna property
was only worth $50,000, at which he re
marked :
“Hero was food for reflection—Etna
not worth sis y thousand dollars, aud the
owners trying to sell it for a million. No
wonder they kept me right under their
own eyes in Rome and did not lose sight
of mo or introduce me to tbe residents.
Hire was the key to the mystery.”

service by Rev. Roe.
Hard times have not found their w:y
to Texas Valley, if you leave it to the
delegates of the general meeting. A
m >re generous, warmhearted and hos
pitable people than those of Texrs Valley
can nowhere be found.
8- J. Whatley, who has been attending
