HID A
BABY TRAIN.
fascinating Ride on the Emerson
*
and Wheeler Through Line
■•HOPE ON, HOPE tVER” MINE
■W Hat the Morgan Mining Cos. Arj
Doing at Their Pretty Iron Mine
Out in the Hills
■ '
Of course our willingness was
Teadily affirmed when that genial
young citizen, Lewis Dixon
Knight, kindly offered to drive a
> T ews and Courant man, in his
springy road cart, out to the Mor
gan Mining Co.’s iron mine.
jjo\v, if a road cart makes vou
s ick at the beginning, it will make
you well again by the time you
have survived the novel jolts and
air-swings peculiar to its gyra
tions as propelled by a young
horse with spirit, over a road not
altogether as level or smooth as a
race -track, and a trip of a few
miles will loosen up the sinews and
make one feel as though the bene
ficiary of a round of healthful
athletics.
The mine is on the east side of
the Etowah, and‘separated only by
a hill and hollow from the cele
brated Wheeler bank, opened by
the Etowah Mining Cos. with such
fine promise some six or seven
years ago. A lead of good brown
hematite iron ore, extending a
quarter of a mile through a hill,
found just after the Wheeler mine
was opened, has been worked with
gratifyiag results and rosy prom
ise for over a year, and there is an
energizing charm surrounding and
a fitness attaching to the name
given the mine, “The Hope On,
Hope Ever.”
The ore assays from 48 to 56
per cent. A contract lasting for a
good neriod exists with the com
pany and the Lookout Iron Co-,
at Battelle, Ala., to whom ship
ments are made. A force of about
I forty hands is being worked, and
the output of the mines is one
hundred tons per day.
The mine is one of the prettiest
to be seen anywhere, and the par
aphernalia are perfect for the best
of work. The ore is carried a
short distance bv trains to the
steam washer, and there washed
and separated into two grades, and
so clean is the ore that there is
scarcely any waste. The water
used is brought through pipes from
a branch, and is saved by means
of a mud dam, to be used a second
time.
The company now has its com
missary, where necessities are dealt
to employes at ruling prices, af
fording an appreciable convenience
to the workmen. • *
At a cost of nearly $3,000 the
company has lately had the old
road bed,running from Emerson to
the Wheeler bank, relaid with ties
and rails to the mine, a distance of
one and three-eighths miles, and
now a jaunty little train of cars on
a thirty inch tracx runs regularly,
carrying their ores to the W. & A.,
which is a great improvement over
the old mode of hauling it in wag
ons. At Emerson a fine arrange
ment for shifting of loads consists
of a high trestle, from which the
loads from the mines are dumped
to the cars below.
“She looks like a toy, but she
does the work,” said Mr, Knight,
as he asked us to sit down on the
little side seat on the engine, and
soon we were steaming away “to
beat the band,” Mr- Knight play
ing engineer to the extent of about
every two minutes reaching for the
cord that released the whistle, “to
let ’em know we were coming.”
It was the richest of fun, this spin
ning through space on the baby
train. Though some of the grades
at£ five per cent, and there are nu
merous sharp curves, the trips be
tween termini are made usually in
ten minutes,
A few weeks ago Mr. Jack Peter
came down from Indiana to take
the initial ride on the new road,
and greatly enjoyed it.
Mr. Peter is the presMent of the
company. R. P. Morgan general
manager. All the gentlemen consti
tuting the company are proud
of their mine and plant. May the
Hope On, Hope Ever,” hope still
abounding, get there and abide
there —in a deluge of prosperity.

THE NEWS AND COURANT.
PEACH CROP WILL MOVE SOON-
Growers Will Put an Immense Har
vest on Northern Markets.
Chattanooga Times.
For the first time since 1898, the
peach orchards of Georgia are
loaded down with the weight of a
full and abundant crop, the largest
and most excellent crop ever seen
in the empire state. As one man
has said, the whole of Georgia,
from the gulf to Tennessee, is one
large peach orchard; and the boun
tiful yield this year will eclipse
any year in its history.
E. M. Oweus, a w r ell-known trav
eler who has been through Geor
gia lately, was speaking last nigl t
of the rejoicing of the farmers in
the peach-raising section, stating
that thousands of them were grow
ing rich by this industry, which
bids fair’ to make Grorgia one of
the richest states in the union.
He related an instance of a farm
er’s purchasing a plot of ground
four years ago for S3OO, and plant
ing Elberta trees upon it at a cost
of about S2OO, making the total
cost of the orchard of sixty acres
SSOO and his labor in tending the
trees for four years. Today, when
the trees are groaning beneath the
weight of the luscious fruit, the
crop alone is worth $l5O to S2OO
per acre, or from $9,000 to sl2 000
—a wonderful profit for a SSOO
investment.
In two weeks time the earliest
standard variety grown will begin
to ripen, ana- from that time until
late in October countless carloads
of peaches will be shipped to the
north and east. It is believed by
the farmers that no year in the
previous history of Georgia will
compare with this in the matter of
peaches produced, and they cannot
therefore base any predictions as
to the crop upon a comparison of
previous crops, The smallest es
timate the most conservative farm
ers place at figures way beyond
anything that has ever been sent
out yet.
GREAT INDIANS AT FAIR
Chiefs Joseph, Ger'nlmo and Red
Cloud at St. Louis
St. Louis. Juue 6.—Like living
pictures in gaudy colors, at the
world’s fair are some of the most
famous Indian chiefs of modern
times. Chief Joseph, the great
Nez Perce warrior, who displayed
so much skill in his long campaigns
against the United States tioops,
is oneof the world’s fair attractions.
Another is Red Cloud, the old
Sioux chief, now 96 years old, and
his sub-chiefs, Flat Iron, Red Shirt,
Crow Dog, Lone Bear and Lost
Horse.
Red Cloud, whose wrinkled,
painted face is like parchment,
clings to the Indian garb of the
plains, but wears eye-glasses like
the ‘‘pale faces.”
Gerouimo, the savage old Apache
chief, who led General Miles and
other Uuited States army officers
such long, weary chases through
the mountain fastnesses of Ari
zona and New Mexico, is soon to
join the other famous at
the fair. Geronimo and the rem
nants of his warlike tribe have
been prisoners of war at Fort Sill,
Oklahoma, for several years, and
will be under the watchful eye of
United States troops while at the
fair.
These Apache prisoners have no
lands or annuities. They are fed
and cared for by the government,
and make considerable spending
money by the sale 01 their fancy
bead-work, such as mocassins,
belts, purses, etc., etc., made of
buckskin painted and decorated
with beads in an artistic mannar.

ANTS DEVOUR BOLL WEEVIL-
Texas Scourge Is Being Warred
Upon by Red Ants.
San Antonio, Tex., June 2. —
Jose Cassiano, ex-county collector,
is the bearer of good tidings con
cerning the work of red ants. Mr.
Cassiano’s fields less than a month
ago were alive with boll weevils.
Today he says there are no live
weevils in his fields. The rows
are strewn with dead weevils which
the little red ants are carrying
away by thousands. Mr. Cassiano
says that a c’ose inspection failed
to show a single weevil on a cotton
plant anywhere in his fields. The
ants are on the plants and in the
rows between in countless thou
sands. They seem to have com
pleted the slaughter of the weevils,
and are now engaged in carrying
the corpses away, probably to be |
i stored for food.
CAKTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 1904.
OUR FIRE
DEPART MENT.
Mr. Graham, the New Chief,
Wants System Improved.
HORSE REEL NEXT MOVE.
Ladles to Conduct a Bazaar to Raise
Funds—Protection for
East Side.
The new chief of the fire depart
ment, elected a few months ago,
Mr. W. M. Graham, is enthusi
astic over the idea of an improved
department and is going at the
work with a zeal and dete.mina
tion that means success. By the
aid of the city council and the
ladies he hopes to have a horse
reel on hand and ready for calls.
On the 24th and 25th of this
month, at some suitable place the
ladies will have a bazaar tor the
purpose of raising funds toward
the purchase of a horse and horse
reel. In this and kindred ways as
much aid as possible will be secured
and when the utmost has been
accomplished through other
methods, the city will be asked to
supplement the fund with a suffi
ciency to yiake the purchase.
There are positive assurances that
the fund raised through the bazaar
or other like means will be used
for the purchase for a reel and
for that alone.
Mr. Graham has recently been
elected president of the North
Georgia and Alabama Volunteer
Firemen’s Association, and pos
sesses fine information in fire
matters. The first detail work Chief
Graham did was the much needed
one of assorting and straight
ening out the hose, which had got
into all sorts of a tangle. He finds
that the department has nearly
2000 feet of good hose, capable of
any pressure, and 500 feet that are
in fair condition and yet servicea
ble.
Another idea of Chief Graham’s
is to put the little red wagon, full
of hose at a convenient place, near
East School house, so as to be
accessible foi use in case of fire in
that part of town. He will advo
cate also the placing of one of the
reels at a safe place near the
warehouse locality in the winter
months.
Mr. Graham’s efforts to’ bring
the department up to what it
should be deserves the thanks of
the people and every aid should be
given the carrying out.of the work.
LYNX-HERRING.
Marriage *n Which Bartow and
Gordon Join.
Mr. Bernard Allen Herring and
Miss Martha Pearl Lynn were
united in the bonds of holy wed
lock at 8 p.m., May 29th, at the
home of the bride’s grandmother,
Mrs. Martha Barrett, in Gordon
county, six miles from Adairsville.
The wedding day had been ap
pointed June Ist, but, the grand
mother having been seriously hurt
by a fall, and fearing it might prove
fatal, begged the young couple to
be married by her suffering bed
side, to which they consented, and
secured the services of Rev. An
drew Rice to perform the ceremony,
instead of Rev. Dr. Darnell, who
had been engaged, but who was
not accessible at the time. The
aged lady is still living, but is not
expected to survive.
Mr. Herring is the youngest son
of Mr. J. C. Herring and of that
noble, industrious and beloved
mother, friend and neighbor, Mrs.
Camilla J. Herring, nee Diukle, of
Rockingham county, Virginia, who
departed this life January 13, 1904,
and is resting in Cassville Ceme
tery, near four of her lifelong
friends from the same county.
The happy bride and groom are
now located in their pleasant home
near Grassdale in this county, the
house being crowded with congrat
ulating friends and quite an array
of beautiful presents.

the family, T. F. Jeffries.

BIC TNCINE
INSTALLED.
Two Thousand Horse Power to
Move the Machinery-
IMMENSE POWER PLANT.
New Cotton Mill Nearing Complet
ion-Work on New
Addition Begun.
The big engine which will move
the tnachir ery of the American
Pad and Textile Co’s new cotton
mill is being installed at the plant
and the immense proportions is
startling.
1 he double engines and connec
tions weigh about two hundred
and sixty tons, and to furnish the
steam "for these are seven immense
boilers. The smoke stack which
is now one hundred and thirty-five
feet above the ground, will be com
pleted at one hundred and fifty-five
feet-
The main building has a floor
space of a little more than one acre
to the floor and is three stories
high with a basement. This is all
under roof and the floors are being
laid of maple. The painters are
giving the finishing touches to the
interior and it will soon be ready
for the machinery.
Fifty cottages have been built
containing from five to. seven
rooms, and all are convenient and
comfortably arranged.
The office and store house are
opposite each other on the main
street and both are modern in
architecture, and are good, sub
stantial brick buildings.
The ground for another mill which
will be the same size as the building
which is just being completed, is
being graded and work on this
extension will begin at once.
All of the work which is being
done is of the most substantial
character, and when completed it
will b/L one of the best cotton mill
properties in the south.
GERMAN RaTIROAJD EXHIBIT
Block Signal System Operated by
Government at World’s Fair.
The German government rail
road exhibit, which shows the
block system and swi ch signals
now in use in Germany, is attract
ing great attention froi visitors to
the world’s fair. More than 1,500
feet of track, in the construction
of which both iron and wooden
ties were used, have been laid.
There is a station house, two switch
towers and one intermeSiate block
signal post. One of the switch
towers is fitted with mechanical
and one with electric signal appa
ratus. The block system makes it
impossible for a train to run into
an open switch, or for one train to
run down another between stations.
The double track system prevents
collisions. By means of electrical
apparatus, all switches, except the
one opening the desired track, are
locked, making an error on the
part of a switchman impossible.
As the last wheel of the train
passes, the switches are all released
by rail contact, making way for
the next train.
At intervals of about seven miles
are placed intermediate block posts,
with a similar signal and switch
apparatus. By automatic arrange
ment the levers are all locked so
that one train cannot leave the
station until the train ahead has
passed the next post, thus prevent
ing one train from running down
another. All the material used in
construction was brought from
Germany.

cause we have always been able to make the best se

JAPANESE ADVANCING.
They Art Coming Nearer Port Ar
thur Along Both Coasts.
Chi-Fu, June 6. —A Japanese
correspondent from Dalny confirms
the reported advance of the Japan
ese armjfon Port. Arthur, news of
which was brought here today by
the Chinese. The correspondent
states, however, that there are fif
teen miles between the Japanese
and Port Arthur, instead of seven,
as reported Dy the Chinese. The
Japanese army is advancing along
both coasts. It is reported that
the peninsula division on the east
coast fought a battle within fifteen
miles of Port Arthur, June 3.
The result of the battle has not
yet been learned.
A junk which layoff Port Arthur
June 4, because of lack of wind,
heard desultory firing on the morn
ing of the 4th, and saw five Japa
nese torpedo boat destroyers as
they disappeared below the hori
zon. Afterwards a tremendous
explosion .was heard, and it was
thought by those on the junk that
possibly one of the destroyers had
struck a mine. On the night of
June 3d immense columns of flame
and smoke were seen from the junk
in the direction of Dalny.
REY. S. P. JONES ILL
Revival Servicesat Rome Brought
to a Sudden Stop
Rome, Ga.. June 5. —The revival
services conducted hece for the past
week by Rev. Sam P. Jones, Rev.
George R. Stewart and Miss Emma
Tucker, came unexpectedly to a
close tonight owing to the illness of
Mr. Jones. Georg.a’s famous
evangelist has not been a well man
for some time. His coming was
delayed two or three days by an
indisposition and the extreme heat
of the week has kept him from
participating in many of the ser
vices, though he has preached
against the advice of his physicians.
His physical weakness has been
apparent to every one and caused
uneasiness among his host of
friends. This afternoon Mr. Jones
left for his home in Cartersville to
rest and recuperate, it being evi
dent that only in that way can he
regain strength and health. Enor
mous c:owds have been in the city
today to hear the services, and
general regret is felt that circum
stances compelled the close of the
revival some days in advance of the
original time determined upon.
