CIiYeland’ Ga,, June, 16, 1893.
Open The Gates.
The question ns 1o whether or
no! it- in leg»I to open the *^nten
of the World's Fair on Suhdiiy,
Konms hard to decide. Five able
jurists are puzzling over the mnt-
1<U'. Leaving aside the legality
of lli« matter, it strikes us most
forcibly that it is a great wrong
and n grnsts injustice to liundreds
of thousand of toiling human be
ings to close t lie gates on Sunday.
With the mass of wage earners,
Sunday is the, only possible dav
that affords them an opportunity
to see the fair, and everyone of
them, eortainly possesses in him
self the same right to see and en
joy the wonders on exhibition, as
the gilded millionaire.
It would lie a cruel and hard
law that would close the gates
against the humble classes, the
only day that it is possible for
them to leave their posts of duty.
Besides this, is not ours a country
of religious freedom? Is if jus
tice to the millions of poor for a
few straight-lured, puling puri
tanical preachers, and half-dozen
brazen-cheeked members of the
W. C. T. IJ., to say “Keep out?"
With the great mass of hu
manity, Sunday is a day of rest,
and enjoyment, and not a day of
worship, and there should he no
power to prescribe the limit, or
dictate any particular way of en
joying the day. The day when
it was possible to coerce a people
into the belief of any particular,
dogma, doctrine or religion, s past
and to keep them out of the fair
grounds does not compel them to
worship in church, mosque, or
synagogue. Wo believe that if
it is the desire of the managers
of the fair to keep down as much
evil as possible, and till the great
est number of human hearts with
the sunshine of happiness, it
would he hotter to open wide ev
ery gale of the White City on
Sunday, instead of keeping an
angry, chafing, blaspheming
crowd, at hay, by armed offieeis
of the law, Christian charity is
not hound by the narrow confines
of any such law as this.
The Assistant Geologists.
IVofcssor Yeates lias selected
liis two assistants foi (he state
geological department., and they
have been continued by the stale
board. They are Frank 1’. King,
of John Hopkins I'niversity, and
H. At . MeCallie, of Knoxville,
Tennessee. Both come very
highly recommended, and present
the very highest testimonials as
to experience and character.
Neither of the appointments
wore made within the stale for the
very simple reason that no one
possessing the standard of require
ments necessary, made applica
tions for either one of the places.
Professor Vcates gave applicants
within the state the preference,
hut all fed far short of the stand
ard.
1 he appointment of those men
should be perfectly satisfuetorv to
the entire state, as their opinions
and work will ho wholly five
front all prejudice, or favoritism
that might arise, if the
were selected vv ithin
borders. On the whole
combining the thoorctrionl with
the practical so as to most fully
develop the natural resources of
Georgia.
Ho is convinced that there arc
vast natural resources existent in
the state that only require practi
cal development to attract the
attention of capitalists every
where.
White County at Chicago,
Georgia will lie represented in
a creditable manner at the
World's Fair at Chicago. It
uiained for a White county en
terprise to put in place there
exhibit, tint does our county and
sect ion honor.
The Sal Mountain Asbestos
Company, whose works are lo
cated in Naeooehee Valley in this
county, have in place, at Cliica
go, an exhibit covering over one
hundred square feet, of lloor,
showing the crude asbestos, and
ils state in the different stages of
its manufacture into paints, brick,
packing, crucibles, feltings, roof
ings, linings, etc., etc.
The exhibit forms one of the in
teresting features of the fair, and
is attracting thousands of people,
moved to examine it, by the pop
ularity of this material which is
entering so largely into demand
liv the nicrciiutile world.
The exhibit as purely a private
enterprise, hut will doubtless
benefit our county and section
immeasurably. The Hal Moun
tain Asbestos Company owns and
oiltrols, all the valuable deposits
of the mineral in this county, and
ire at work now shipping to the
factories north. They will erect
large works at the. mines at an
early day, far the preparation
and reduction of the asbestos,
thereby obviating the shipment
of any waste material.
In a few more years when w*
get, on a higher plane of civiliza
tion, we will look hack to the
days when we leased the state
convicts to sordid money-makers
and unscrupulous task-masters,
with greater disgust and loathing
than that with winch we now
contemplate the days of human
slavery.
The convicts should he worked
so that all the piotits of their la
bor should accure to the stale,
instead of piling higher the al
ready overflowing coffers of
grinding lessees.
The public, road system of the
slate of Georgia is a shame and
disgrace to a commonwealth that
pretends to keep abreast with the
advance of civilization, and our
law-makers will scratch their
heads, and perturb their spirits
for a long tunc, over the solution
of the convict problem, before
they devise a more profitable
plan than that of working the
stale convicts on our public high
ways.
Some of the counties in Georgia
seem to favor the Australian bal
lot system, or rather the grand
juries in a few comities so recom
mend. The Australian ballot
system is no more or less than
an educational qualification foi
lin'right of suffrage. Its adop
tion would lie an injustice to the
brave, honest, chivnlric men who
fought for our liberty in the years
•gone, many of whom would he
disfranchised by it from voting
and have no voice in saying who
should hold our oSiees or make
laws to govern them. The hon
est though illiterate man has as
much right to his vole as the
most learned. Such a system
would reduce tile South’s repre
sentation in National legislation
and entail many hardships and
wrongs upon the people. For
one I am against disfranchising
any class of our people or extend
ing the right of sull'nige to our
women.—B. F. 1’., in Cherokee

Wiidlley’s Report win t>e Published.
Stale geologist \V. S. Yentes
has expressed his intention of do
ing tin* neglected corner of the
state the justice that: was refused
if, by I)r. Spencer, by publishing
the report of Professor K. T.
Whatley. I)r. Spencer refused
to recognize Whatley’s report,
and Governor Northen refused to
order its publication. The de
mand from this section grew so
strong, and has been so steady,
that Governor Northen at last
consented to leave the question of
the. publication of the assistant’s
report, with Professor Yeates.
After a careful examination of
the reports, of Professor What
ley, Professor Yeates has express
ed himself that the report is en
tirely worthy of pulilieation—and
states that it will appear as soon
as possible.

We think it simply a matter of justice
to the people of Northeast Georgia that
the report of Prof. Whatley, in regard to
the mineral Interests of this section of
the State should lie published amt we
sincerely trust it will be done at once.—
Clarksville Advertiser.
“We join our brethren of this section
in demanding as a matter of justice, that
Prof. Whatley’s report on the gold fields

vey of this section -an unprejudiced one
too and the state paid him for it, and in

Whatley bis report should be published.
Who has jurisdiction to hnvc geological

to let no grass grow under his feet in the
premises. Perhaps it will be left to the
new incumbent of the geological depart

justice to our section to have it published
at once,
Tim Advkrti.hkh joins in a demand for
tlie publication of this survey. Action
in the premises can’t be too promptly
