CEDARTOWN, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 19, 1900' FROM FAR-OFF ALGERIA NEW A NOTED TAMMANY LEADER’S WORDS ABOUT PERUNA, THE IDEAL SPRING REMEDY Hon. Daniel Bangh Writes an Inter- " esting Letter to The Standard. Oran, Algeria, March 2(itb, 1900. Messrs. Bussell & Coleman: My Dear Friends.—We left home on Feb. 2Stl>, and the first home news met ns on the arrival here on the 24th inst. We also received The Standard of March 1st. I hope to get the paper quite regularly at different points. Al though belated, these copies of your papers are not the less gratifying links of interest to home and friends. We feel absolutely assured that all our interests, social, persona! and business in Cedartown, are safe in the hands of our Southern friends and neighbors. There are no responsibilities that we want to shirk; there are no indiscre tions or errors we desire to have ex cused nor to be shielded from their just consequences. We want to act our part as men of principle, and thus al ways enjoy the esteem and confidence of these Southern' friends and co- workers. We came here from Tangier, Mo rocco, on a French coasting steamer. It was a cargo boat, but with very tol erable accomodations for passengers and a good cuisine, running twice a month between the two places and the only means provided for passengers be- tween them.

Onr first call was at the port of Tetuan, Morocco, the town itself lying a few miles in land but in plain view of the port, its white walls and minarets forming a beautiful picture stretching clear across a green valley which rises with a gentle ascent from the port, and the whole framed by lofty, rugged moantains. The port consists simply of a square Moorish tower and the month of a lit tle river not navigable for any bnt small boats. The city of Tetuan is distinct ively Moorish. It contains no marks of European civilization, and is only visited by travelers, althongh it is per fectly safe. - *P' ' Our buyers have re turned from New York and Boston, where they spent over three weeks buying some of the biggest Bar- gainsinDry G-oods, Dress Goods, Millinery, Clothing, Shoes, Etc., we have ever owned.

Inclined plane railways reach every level or stage of the mines clear to the mountain top; tlie empty cars are taken up anil the laden ones let down by steam-driven cables; from the bottom of the plane tlipse laden cars are coupled together and a small locomotive takes them over rails laid on the top of the long breakwater or sea wall, inside of which great English tramp steamers and vessels are closely moored, and their loads are dumped directly, by chutes, into the vessels’ hold. The whole work is the result of intelligent engineering, and it is to my mind the most economical and labor-saving method that could be de vised. This city of Oran is to me most in teresting. Its situation is picturesque. Once the stronghold of Algerian pirates, many times the scenes of siege and plunder by Spaniard and Turk, its old forts which crown every hill have a fascination for me irresis tible and abiding.

Tourists usually go from Tangier by mnlesn’nd camp eqnipages. There are no roads, and wheeled ve hicles arc not to be had in Morocco. The bazaars of Tetnan are inferior to those of Tangier, bnt they contain only Moorish goods, while those of Tangier are invaded by Jews and Spaniards and Enropean wares. As one sees Te tnan from I ho little port, its appearanco at a distance of four or five miles is most pleasing. In the clear air it seems much nearer. The glistening white flat- roofed houses completely cross the val ley from monntain to mountain, and the green valley sloping down to the sea seems like a great highway to the forbidden interior of Morocco—the city its closed gateway. We called at the strong Spanish fortress and village of Melilla and dis charged for a whole day a large quan tity of garrison stores. These consisted mostly of flour, beans, rice and pota toes, shipped from Marseilles. The fortress is bnilt npon and aronnd a high rock and seems to be a stronghold indeed. The garrison is large, bnt my inquiries as to the number of soldiers there were met by such widely diverg ing statements that I cannot give it. These ranged from 7,000 to 20,000 men, and one can take his choice. The Moor ish hills hack of Melilla are barren; there is not a vestige of green or any signs of life or soil cnltnre. afflicted mankind. Ella Bongh.

Lower down, on two of the sides of Mourdjadjo, are three Algerian forts which are connected by subterranean rock-hewn passages to other forts upon the hills within the the town and those beyond it. These passages are carried under the town, descending and rising with tile surface grades. In the center of the town, close to the port, is a beautiful mountain, a lofty hill with an ancient fort whose round white towers or bas tions give one of the most pleasing pictures to the eye I have ever seen. The slopes down from the old fort, the ancient moats and battery terraces, have been planted with trees and shrubbery and flowers; delightful shady walks, rustic seats, and above all the charming views over the ra vines on one hand and over the bay and blue Mediterranean on the other, render this once grim and war-deso lated spot almost a dream to the senses. I am lingering in Oran because it pleases me. It is a healthful spot and the climate is mild. The change from day to night in the tliemometer do not range over nine degrees; the average for Marcli lias been less than. 7 degrees. The air is singularly free from humid ity. Besides this, we find in this hotel every comfort which a man can get away 'from home. The rooms are bright and well ventilated, the beds fine, sanitary arrangements of the highest modern perfection, and above all tlie table is the best that French cooking and ample provisioning can bring to keen appetites.

On reaching the Algerian coast a somewhat better prospect begins. The French, althongh they are not us ually considered good colonists, have certainly done a vast amount of good all over the province during time of their ocenpaney by planting the pine, the eucalyptus,tbo cork and pepper tree —in fact, they have introduced many plants and shrubs and vines which al ready have changed the appearance of the once barren hills. We called at the Algerian port of Ne- monrs, and there took on a large quan tity of alfa-grass. This is a great prod- net of the department of Oran and the source of considerable wealth. It is twisted in ropes like the curled hair of commerce, and in this form baled up for shipment. It is used for bedding and for staffing cushions, etc., and probably for other purposes.
