POLITICS IN GEORGIA.
Hon. A. D. Gnndlor, of Gninon-
ville, tlio littlu “imo-e.yotl Plow
lloy", (iih 1 lie Jm.*k«on Herald
oiii'intous him) in oil a visit, to
Washington oily, and in an in
terview gave his views on the |>o-
lltiral situation in (teorgia as fol
lows :
The demorrary is safe' in Geor
gia. Two weeks ago the third
party people were aggressive and
confident.; they are now outlie
run. The leaders are afraid for
the rank and file to hear the
truth Hid hence have given or
ders that they must not rend dem
ocratic newspapers, nor hear
democratic speeches; but Geor-
giaiiH arc not in the lnibit of be
ing ordered, and the holiest and
intelligent farmers are hunting
and finding light. The St. Louis
platform is more than they can
swallow. In an another month
there will ho nobody left in the
third party in Georgia hut the
chronic soreheads, a few fanatics
and a few follows who went into
it hoping to got office. No, the
most noisy men ill the third party
are not farmers at all, but profes
sional agitators. Most of the
farmers in our state are demo
crats and know that the democ
racy is their only hope for relief,
and they will stay with us. I
have made several speeches and
this is my ovsorvution wherever I
have I Mien.
Hon. Carter Tate, of Pickens
county, is out in a letter staling
that he is sure to represent the
(Kiople of the ninth district in
congress. Ho also says there is
no use in a man running for office
unless he is confident that, he can
1ki elected—this the lion. Carter
is sure of. Tate is a line man and
no one would make 11 hotter c6u-
grossmun than he.
CupL It. It. Asliury is promi
nently spoken of as being a can
didate for congress. If the Cap
tain enters the field, it is going to
take a hard fight to put the lire
out between him and Tate. Capt.
Ashury is ono of those hust
ling little men, and his friends
arc almost innumerable. Look
out for the engine when you hear
the whistle blow.
The campaign in Georgia will
Itogin early in May. llcsidos our
own native orators, Senators,
Dan W. V orhees, of Indiana;
Senator Zch. 11. Vance, of North
Carolina; Senator Vest, of Wis
consin, and other speakers of
National reputation will address
big democratic rallies all over
the state; but they will pay par
ticular attention to Tom Wat
son’s district.—Hartwell Sun.
Col. I. W. Avery, in a letter to
the Atlanta Constitution, sug
gests that a platform of princi
ples could be made upon which
the alliance and non-alliance
wings of the democracy can unite
harmoniously and stop the pres
ent hurtful division. He says:
“Concession and conciliation on
both sides will bring them to
gether.”
The next presidential election
will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 8,
and the electors then chosen will
meet at tho capitols of their re-
sjvective states on Tuesday, .Inn-
uaiy 10, 1898, to vote for presi
dent and a vice-president,. The
electoral votes will be counted by
congress on Wednesday, Feb. 8,
and tho new president will be in-
uugerated on Saturday, March t.
If you intend to aspire for of
fice there can be no better time
than now to announce yourself.
The time is approaching every
day, and if you don’t watch your
chances the political cradle
will rock on your toes and
place you where you can’t be
elected or run either. So come
along, candidates, and let the
]ample know what you are and
where you stand.
Have your Job Work executed at
this office, it you want satisfaction,
The candidacy of Carter Tate
for the nomination for congress is
being favorably received in all
parts of the district. He is the
man to win with and tho demo
crats knows it. ’Kali for Garter!
—('herokee Advance.
't he campaign in 1898 bids fair
to be the hottest ono since the
llullork regime. There is going
to be no shuffling under the
“kiver,” but lots of candidates
after the election will feel like
fainting and falling back in it—
and many of whom will not he
able to creep.
GOLD IN GEORGIA.
There are bushels of gold in
North Georgia.
K. T. Whatley, assistant state
geologist has made a careful study
of the geology of (lie comities
north of Atlanta, and has been
busy for several weeks past making
out this report for tho geological
department of the state.
Mr. Whatley talks interesting
ly about the precious ores embos
omed in the North Georgia moun
tains. When questioned as to
whether he thinks there is much
gold in tho state, he said :
“I know there is. It is of
course impossible to estimate ac
curately the amount that has al
ready been taken from tho sur
face of North-east Georgia, hut I
can name eight counties that have
produced at least twenty-live
million dollars from the surface.
Hy tho surface I mean the placer
mines. You see there are two
chief classes of gold mines, the
“placer mines” which contain
free gold in the form of particles
or nuggets, and the “vein mines”
which contain gold ores. Placer
mines are confined to the surface,
and are produced hy running
water which separates the parti
cles of gold from other lighter
materials in the same manuer
tliat sand is separated from soils
and deposited in beds. The vein
mines usually extend very deep
below the surface and are the
sources of the gold.
BY NO MKAN8 KNIIAl HTKI).
“Is the gold exhausted from
these counties?
“lty no means. Tho placer
mines in most localities have been
practically exhausted, but these
mines are only an index—a sur
face indication—of what thero is
beneath. Tho gold from theso
mines are only a small percent of
tho aggregate amount still con
tained in the veins near by,
which in some localities extend
hundreds of feet below the sur
face.”
“11 avo any veins been discov
ered?"
“Yes a great many. I made
some discovevies while in North
Georgia last Hummer. Some are
true fissure veins and some are on
beds containing a multitude of
small veins. I took a specimen
from one vein which assays $250
per ton. The whole will average
perhaps $90.”
, “Are such veins common?”
“No, hut veins are common
containing gold in paying quan
tities.”
“Are many mines in opera
tion?”
“Not many; a few in each
county. A great, many parties
have begun operations and fail
ed.”
“IIow do you account for their
failures? Are they duo to
inferior ores?”
“In some instances they are
perhaps due to inferior ores, but
in tho majority of eases they are
not. To illustrate, not more
than ono farmer in ten makes a
success in fanning, not more than
ono merchant in ten succeeds;
and so with other professions.
The gold miners of Georgia are
ail intelligent class of men but
they are not exceptions. It re
quires more skill and manage
ment to operate a gold mine suc
cessfully than is required either
to farm or merhandise. because
eompaniosjhuve failed it is no rea
son why the mines should ho con
demned when the assays of the
ores show from $20 to $10 per
ton.
“In one of tho counties of
North Georgia a company spent
$250,000 for properly and equip
ments, hired a man who was not
interested in that property to su
perintend the work and furnished
all the supplies, not one of them
living nearer than Huston. Now,
if an Atlanta merchant or Geor
gia farmer should attempt a simi
lar experiment in his business
would he not be more surprised
lit success than at failure.
AN INVITI.NO FIKI.D.
“Are tho gold mines of Geor
gia an inviting field for capi
tal?”
“They are if the capital is in
vested with n view to the devel
opment of the properties. The
day has passed in Georgia for
‘mineral booms’, ‘big deals’ or
‘transient mines.’ If it is not it
ought to be. IVhat the mineral
interest of Georgia needs is devel
opment. The speculative ten
dency has done more to injure
the gold interest of Georgia than
anything else. I know many val
uable properties of Georgia that
are lying dormant simply because
they were bought to sell with no
intention to work the mines.
“.inch transactions may some
times enrich individuals, hut they
are injurious to the mining in
terests of Georgia and should he
discouraged.
“Yes, the gold mines of Geor
gia are inviting to capital, hut
not to capital that expects to he
doubled without some years of
toil combined with skill and
practical management to show
the true value of the mines.
“Capital rightly invested will
he rewarded and will help to re
veal the hidden wealth of our
state. It will give steady and n-
numerativo employment to our
working classes, gradually swell
the volume of currency per capita
and make Georgia wlint she de
serves to he, u mining as
well as an agricultural and
a manufacturing state.”
A KIND OF A BOOM.
“Is it probable that much cap
ital will soon be invested to de
velop the resources of Georgia?”
“I think so. The first thing
necessary is a knowledge of these
resources.
“The people are comparatively
ignorant of the rcrsources of
Georgia, especially outside of the
state. When uncxiiggerated re
ports are printed and the facts
presented the people will see
that it is to their interest to de
velop these resources.
“The lumbermen will investi
gate the special utilities of the
different varieties of timber, the
quarrymen the different classes
of building stone, the miners will
investigate new methods of ex
tracting metals, and these inves
tigations will lead to gigantic in
dustries in Georgia.”
