GEORGIA’S MARBLE
Ilow it is Made Heady for Market and the
Probable Amoiiul in the State.
The mills, shops and workrooms of
the American Marble Company, at Ma¬
rietta, Ga., are the most exteasive of
the kind in the State. They are situa¬
ted in the midst of a tract of land own¬
ed by the company in the suburbs of
the town. The tracks <*f the Marietta
and North Georgia and the Western &
Atlantic Railroads run into the various
yards of the works. The mill building
is 435 feet in length and 45 feet wide.
Tlie machine shop is tit) by 45 feet and
the engine and boiler house l>7 by 40
feet. A 250-horse power Corliss engine
is the motive power, and the mill is
completely tilled with the latest, most
novel and most improved machines ev- of
er vet devised for the manipulation devised
marble. The machines are for
sawing, cutting,counter-sinking, mold
ing and finishing marble. They also
own all the patents on the Maloy cut
ting and counter-sinking machinery, mold
and also the patents on the Maloy
ing machinery and improved saws,
'I bis machinery is for and cutting other all kinds
of molding on marble stones,
There are no less than eighteen differ
ant patents covering these operations
in all of their parts. The company has
three of these machines in their mill,
each doing the work of more than tliir
ty men. This machine will do any kind
of cutting, counter-sinking, beveling, other
paneling, or molding of marble or
stones that is now done by hand, and
and will do it for a very small pereent
age of the cost of hand-work.
Entering the mill the sight Four presented hundred

and when every foot of the way on both
sides is tilled with complicated machin¬
ery in motion, the eye is somewhat be¬
wildered. The varieties of work being
performed by each machine, and almost
by each workman, causes in the mind
of the visitor a sense of confusion; but
after a calm, reasoning survey, the un¬
initiated finally commences to -‘catch
on” to the various manipulations. The
noise, however, is like Bedlam, and
here a wheel chips around a block of
marble at the rate of a thousand or two
revolutions a minute, while it squeaks
like a thousand nail machines as it runs
along; and there you see a diameter, majestic
marble column, three feet iu
and nearly 20 feet in length, going the
around in a dignified manner in
clutches of a mammoth lathe. Here are
great “rubbing beds,” 12 feet in diame
ter, and three of them in a row. Here
are turning lathes, from the mammoth
one with the great pillar described to
the most tiny lathes imaginable. And
here arc monster machines that weigh
over thirty tons and cost over $15,000
each. All moving and carrying with
them great blocks of marble which weighing being
several tons each, and fluted are all
dressed and polished on
four sides at the same moment, many
of these newly invented machines do¬
ing the work of forty “lightning or fifty men saws,” per
day, Here are the
the patents owned exclusively by the
company, making 200 cuts per minute;
besides steam buffers, polishers and
huge machines for grinding 200 tiles at
once. We were shown tiles that, when

joining could not he discerned by the

purpose of working up the product of
the Georgia Marble Co.’s quarries, but
they have quarries of their own which
said to be, without exception, the
most valuable and superior quality, in especially point of
color, texture and
their malachite marble—the only green
marble found outside of Russia or Ita
ly. Besides this green marble, the
American Marble Company also ovvn
immense deposits of the purest white
marble, said to be in spetlessness of
color superior to the renowned Carrara
of Italy.
Indeed, after the practical sight _
nessed of thc great richness of the mar
hie quarries as now worked m Georgia,
it is hard to doubt any statements made
by reliable men who are interested in
investigating the subject. Georgia
marble will very soon lind its way into
every State of the Union. Tests made
by the diamond cere-borer, for bun
dreds of feet and for miles in
show that the marble beds of Georgia
are practically inexhaustible, and eon

have been opened, and the paying re

further remembered that thc interest is

THE GEORGIA OUTRAGE
The Expressions of a Kf, Louis Paper ! T «ou
Sianders of Our Empire State.
Thc bloody shirt publication which
lias become notorious,';for its slanders
of Missouri, Arkansas and Texas, says
that in Georgia ‘’the election passed off
quietly” with no opposition to the dem¬
ocratic state ticket because “tliixgs
have come to such a pass that it is not
onlv useless, but notoriously perilous,
for men to go to the polls with any in¬
tention of depositing republican ballots
The Republican party has been elimi
nated from the politics of the state as
completely as though such an organiza that
tion had never been known in part
of the country. ”
This is a falsehood that has grown
stale with repetition. The reports of
congregations of negroes massacred in
Logan county, had at least the merit of
novelty, but this Georgia falsehood,
venerable with age, was remarkable
even in its youthful stupidity, freshness for its
dullness and
I’eople who can read have long ago
learned that the Republican party of
Georgia surrendered its organization in
order to avoid the payment, of taxes—
or rather because it refused to pay
them. The Georgia republican is fur¬
nished with all the blessings of civilized
government. He has free schools—
even free universities and colleges—for
his children. His own chicken roost
and smokehouse are protected by the
state, while the state lias never yet been
able to devise a system that would pro¬
tect from his ingenuity and pertinacity
the chicken coops anil smokehouses of
Georgia democrats.
asked In return to for small these tax—$1 blessings, he $2 is
pay a or a
year at most. 11 is property is portable,
and of too unstable a character to be
reached by the assessor, for about the
time the assessor or any other unwel¬
come representative of the state’s au¬
thority publican is has to visit confirmed him, the habit Georgia re¬
a of put¬
ting his portable property into his wag¬
on, hitching up the unties on which he
has given a mortgage, aud driving them
—mortgage, portable property and all
—iuto some more secure and comforta¬
ble part of the state.
After having done this, lie naturally
desired to run the state go veruiuent and
triple the taxes on land, as he had done
when he had things his own way in the
state.
The land owners, of course, objected,
but very mildly. They did not say the
Georgia republican should not do this;
they merely asked him to pay a small
sum to help the government—to show
a tax receipt for $1 a year poll taxes
from and after the date of the passage
of the act up to the date when he pro¬
posed to take charge of the state to run
it to suit himself.
The Republican party of Georgia at
once disbanded, and it lias been tlis
banded ever since. In the local option
contests, where Georgia republicans had
their poll taxes paid for them, they
voted; hut we understand that at pres¬
ent debt they are the generally back from $5 to $10
in to state for taxes.
Until these arc paid by some chari¬
table or malevolent person they will
never vote at all asu party. The Geor¬
$5 gia to republican $10 for his expects vote. to Rather be paid from than
submit to the outrage of paying back
taxes before he votes he will never vote
at all.— Si. Lovis Hepublic.
