Oar Home Empire. - * (Atlanta Conetftatloß.] We doubt if there i* any man in the State of Georgia who ia ao thoroughly and intelligently bent upon the development of her re nourcea aa Dr. George Little, the State Geologist. lie aeema to have no (bought aa re the advertiaemont of Ueor gia’s strength and the auggeation of her progress. Standing, aa he does, AT TUI VKUT HEAD Of HIS PXOFXS iIOI, and second to no nun ia the South aa a scholar of general cul ture, he speaka intelligently upon anything he diaoouraes of, and his opimoos cany conviction. He is careful, prudent and guarded in all hia expressions. His remark* able interview upon the subject of the gold fields of North Geor gia,published in the Conttitution some time ago, has been copied all over the union,and has doubt- Ira* attracted the attention of thousands to this favored section. AX OPINION ABTOOEOBOIA’S WEALTH. Meeting the Doctor the other we asked him what he thought now of Georgia's natural wealth. “Do vou know,** he replied, “that you asked me that question three years ago, when I had just begun my examination, and had just returned from the counties along the Marietta dt North Geor gia railroad f I was enthusiastic then, as you rumember. “And yet I did not then know a tithe of the truth, 1 did not conceive a fraction ol the riches that lie buried in the soil of our State. I have completed my sur vey virtually. 1 have examined all except probably a half doaen counties, and 1 may say that I am more than astonished at the rich ness of our deposits.' * 1 have already told you, aud proved to you, that her gold re gion was richer and better than that of California, aud that its • yield must very soon become enormous. 1 tell you now that agricultural, pastoral and lumber resources are equal, if not supe rior, to any Stale on the Pacific slope or in the Northwest. Be sides this, she has water powers far superior to, and more numer ous than, those that have enabled New England 70 DICTATE THE FINANCIAL POLICY of the Government. It is almost impossible to conceive oi a State liaviug greater and more varied resources. We have gold equal to California,oopper equal to Ten nessee, coal equal to Penoajrlva nia, iron equal to any country, water powers equal to Massachu setts, pasturage equal to Ken tucky, soil equal to lowa, lumber superior to Mateo, and a climate better than aay of them. Our /btgie is in our own bauds " Wuat oaoaoiA heads. “Whet does Georgia need to properly develop her resources “She needs, first of all,the com pletion of the Marietta ds North Georgia railroad. If the convict labor of the State could be put to work on this coed, and finish it to Murphy, N. C., the results would be almost magical, !u the first place, it would open up a section nf anequaled richness ee to min eral deposits and iu farming lands. These are aompaniirely valueless unless they lie near a railroad. Betides this.it would inevitably attach to us a do*en or snore rich mountains and valley eamtles of North Carolina and pour their trade into Georgie. ML We need the extension and of the Northwestern seilaoad from Lula City to Rabun AJap and beyond. This will bring us into intimate connection with i lie fertile valleys of Western NorSMParoliiu, and the granaries gif East Tennessee, and will give, betides ready access to the de } -fitful mountains and scenery, Acid miuvxai springs of Northeast I Georgia, and make it in a few years the greatest summer resort on this continent. 3d. Georgia needs and mutt havt the Georgia Western rail road, piercing the rich copper belts of Paulding, Haralson and Carroll, and the unequalled coal and iron fields of Western Geor gia and Middle Alabama,and con necling at Birmingham. The im portance of this road cannot be overrated. YOU SEE TUB THREE CITIES, Atlanta, Chattanooga and Bir mingham, form a triangle o( about 150 miles for each side. In the very uatnre of things these three cities must be the great manufacturing cities of the South. They are the outposts of the great coal, iron, copper and gold re gion of the South, and, having the capital and facilities, they mutt control the manufacturing. “Now, in order to do this, it is absolutely necessary that we shall have chetp coal. To work copper mine* successfully, to man ufacture iron profitably, to build up wagon, furniture and bucket factories, we must have conven ient railroad and abundant coal aud fine for ests. In ordor to compete with her sister cities Atlanta mutt have an abundance of coaljtauled at low rates. At present she de pends on one railroad for her coal supply. With the Georgia West ern she would be put beyond dan ger. “The benefit that we should de rive from these roads caunot BE ESTIMATED IN DOLLARS AND CENTS. “A few days ago I was showing the Messrs. Rah t,son and nephew of Julius Kalit,of Cleveland, some specimens of the copper ore of the Banks river in Paulding and the Tallapoosa creek in Haralson, and he said: ‘lf I only had the coal at five dollars a ton and rail road transportation 1 could make a great deal of money with these ore*.* “1 showed him some splendid specimens of iron pyrites,” he said. ‘lf these were only near a railroad, you might put up sul phuric acid factories and make your own fertilizers.' “I showed Mr. Jenks, the other dny,soine specimens of corundum that 1 had picked up on the road side near the track of the Geor giu Western, and he told me that he had found it very profitable to haul corundum for fifty miles through the mountaina of North Carolina. At one time he sold to one company in New York |5, 000 worth for making etnory wheels. It is lying in inexhaust ible quantities along the line of the Georgia Western. “1 hope these three roads will be built very soon. With them the Slate wiil reach a prosperity that none of us even dream of. Without them, her progress must be slow. We have the grea'est State in the Union. The only thing we have to do is to properly develop it.” Two years ago he pointed to a man in .the street, and said: “There’s a man who dareu’t say his soul's his own when his wife’s about. Some oi these women ought to get me for a husband; I’m show ’em a thing or two.” lie was a bachelor then, lie is mar ried uow, and when hit wife says “Thomas'SJ" he jumps two feet, answers “Ves’nt,’’ and doesn’t let the grass grow under him in an swering to the summons. “Do you know," rental ked a fast Newark youth the other day to a stuttering triend to whom he was slightly indebted, “do you know that 1 intend to marry and settle down F’ “1 do-dou’t know any thing about it," was the reply, “bu but 1 think you had b-b bet ter stay single and settle up.”— Newark Call. A yoi'no man of eighteen went to Texas last March and is already the proprietor of a stock iarm, with which was conveyed also a ready made family, consisting of one wife, seven children and a mother-inlaw. A* Alabama man who bit off nnoUmr fallow’s nose was com pelled <a swallow' it to escape choking, and the local chronicler adds that he was put under bonds to keep the piece. “What's the difference,” asked tlie teacher in arithmetic, “be tween one yard and two yards f" “A fenceF’ said Tommy Reales Then Tommey sat on th* rule fourteen times. A MAHjfmm Boston would not confess astonishment at anylhinc he saw in Nevada. As he was passing a hotel in Virginia City the cap Llew from one of the chimneys. It was a circular piece of sheet; iron, painted black, slightly convex, and the four sup ports were like lgs. The wind carried it down lha street, and it weut straddlingtalong like a liv ing thing. The Potion man asked what it was. “A bed bug from the hotel,” was the reply. “By George! I never saw anything like that—” he began, and then added, “outside of Boston.” Pickens County Lual Mertaits.
