pill Arp Wants to Import North

)!,• Backwoods Philosopher Tells of
Advertising Schemes.
Atlanta (Constitution.
Northern Republicans who are
iiiriiwhTintf around, talk very hopefully
„l the situation. They say that General
Unrrison is a gentleman and a ('hristian,
jnjil Jins no prejudices against the South,
, lIH I though he may have friends to re
uanh he has no enemies to punish.
Tijnv say that he has force of character
aii'l great firmness, and will be President
and run the machine. They say that
Northern people will be more willing to
conic South, and they will come, and by
their conduct and dealing will command
our respect and confidence, and break up
tin* Solid South.
Well, we are willing to have it broken
up in that way. There is no issue in
politics that is half as big as a reconcili
ation between the North and South.
A Northern man said to mo, “I am mak
ing investments here, and I expect to
move here and bring my family. lam a
Republican, and have been all my life.
It is the next thing to my religion. The
more Republicans you get down here the
better it will be for you. They will be a
breakwater between .you and any op
pression you may fear from General
Harrison's administration. They can
not harm you without harming us. It is
the best solution of the.negro problem.
If In' is put over you he will be put over
us. We expect to have some influence
with the administration, and that in
fluence will be for the good of your
whole people.”
There is some comfort in that kind of
talk. 1 don't mean any offense, but I
couldn't help thinking about that wicked
old fellow who dreamed he died and went
to the bad place and saw the old devil
and tin* infernal fires and tin* little devils
shoveling in the sulphur, and he saw
hundreds of his old acquaintances, and
when ho waked up he was all in a sweat
of perspiration and was so thankful it
was a dreaui. lie told it to the boys
and one said, “was the fire oncommon
hot. Uncle Jake.” “Powerful hot,” said
lie, “but then it wasn't so bad as it inout
have been; for every white man I saw
had a nigger between him and the fire.”
So I reckon we had better begin to im
port a good lot of our Nostheru breth
ren and put them in front about next
April and telJ the administration to fire
away. Our Southern Republicans will
do pretty well, but there are not enough
of them to go around. Naboi Freeman
has promised to stand in front of me,
but his limited diameter would not pro
tect the flanks of iny corporosity. Our
Uartersville Republicans are generally
thin in flesh and it will take about two
to cover one Cleveland Democrat. Gov
ernor Bullock would suit me mighty well
but 1 understand that Governor Brown
has had him engaged for three months
back. Old Joe is always ahead. My
friend A. L. Harris would make a splen
did bulwark for a whole family and l
hope he will remember me when trouble
comes.
A Tallapoosa Yankee said to me, “\Ye
are going to build another town right
away. We have got Tallapoosa estab
lished and she is solid as bed rock.
Town piFiperty has not shrunk a dollar.
Our glass works have been rebuilt aid
our furnace is nearly completed and we
have lots of smaller industries and there
will be hundreds of Michiganders and
other ganders down there this winter.
We have added four hundred and ninety
thousand dollars to the taxable returns
of Haralson county in two years. In
two years we have built a town of nearly
.*{,ooo inhabitants, and expect to double
it in two years more; and now we are
going to build another town at Bluffton,
ten miles below (Jive Spring. Here is
the plan and elevation of the hotel,
which is to cost seven thousand dollars.
The hotel is Fie first housethat we build,
and we get a first-class man to keep it.
The stomach of a rich man is the first
thing to work on. Get him satisfied with
hitnself—feed him well —and he will trade.
When a Northern man comes down here
with his pocket full of money and finds
a poor, dirty hotel, and none of the com
forts he left behind him, he gets disgus
ted and wants to get away as quick as
possible. If you Cartersville people had
any gumption, you would build a twenty
thousand dollar hotel the first thing,
and have hot arid cold baths and gas
light, and you would paint up that front
block, and paint that old depot, and
make the town look attractive. A\ ean ill
have a bigger town at Bluffton in two
years than you have got at Cartersville,
and three-fourths of the people will be
live yankees that mean bnsiness. You
have got the best county in Georgia—l
have been all over it and knoNv all about
it—and your natural wealth is just im
mense, There is nothing like it, or equal
to it that I have seen in all my travels,

Cassviilc and Sum Sly.
AVho is Sam Sly ? is a question that has
agitated no liti>- the curiosity of the
young bucks and squaws of old Cass
ville. He is the sn Yet of much inquiry f
and sonicely has a- overed up his flacks
by frequently refei ring to himself and his
own affairs, that all with one accord
wonder if it can truly be him. He lias
not fooled all, however, for Lib articles
have certain ear marks that disclose his
identity, though he tries .hard to cover
himself up with the lion skin, his ears are
a little too long, for that’part of thedon
key sticks out. Aiy young comrades one
and all, let me draw you a pen picture
that you may know Samtnie when he
brays. The animal is about 44 years
old, has red main, where he is not bald,
dresses nicely, is always on the go, though
.married loves the girls exceedingly, and
generally leaves the impression that he
favors Mormonisni. He is a regular at
tendant at church, Sunday school and
parties, and may always be seen looking
towards the right if the girls are on that
side. He has a high forehead, made so
by the jealousy of his wife, snatching at
and pulling out the front of his main.
He chews his cud as regularly as a goat,
and at a distance, by the regular motion
of his goatee, mav be taken ter one of
the billies. He delights like a mastiff to
get hold of a little ficety correspondent
and shake him just to see him Nviggle.
He is a good natured, funny correspon-.
dent that laughs at the mystery that
surrounds him, and contemplates a coup
on the youngsters at an early day. So
look out, ye dudies and ye dudinetf.
There is no harm in the animal, however,
but much fun.

FALL FROM A BALLOON.
Tragic Death of a Daring Aero
naut at Columbus.
A Half-Mile in MM Air With a Bursted
Galloon—Descending With a Para
chute Into the Itiver.
Columbus Enquirer, Nov. 2U.
The balloon ascension and parachute
jump, by the famous Prof. F. H. Vande
grift, at the Exposition Park yesterday
was set for Ip. in. A stiff gale was blow
ing at the time and the professor and his
partner, Mr. O. J. Brady, approached the
president and some of the directors and
told them that they were apprehensive
that the wind was too strong. They said,
however, that if the wind would settle by
L o’clock, the ascent and jump would be
made.
They were informed that, under the cir
cumstances, it was all right, and that the
ascent could be made another dav. An
immense concourse crowded the grounds
in anticipation of seeing the astounding
feat. The announcement of the probable
postponement was made; but the crowds
were hopeful that the breeze weald settle
and that they would see one of the most
daring feats ever witnessed in the world
at 4 o’clock. However, when 4 o’clock
came the wind was still high, but the
professor determined to make the ascent
and jump at all hazards. He was still
very apprehensive, though.
At the time named the balloon man
agement commenced the work of inflating
it with hot air and in a quarter of an
hour 3he monster balloon stood seventy
five feet high and one hundred and sixty
in circumference. An indescribable thrill
took possession of the immense concourse
that filled the grand stand, the balconies
of the main building and that lined the
fencing of the quarter stretch, as the
cords were cut and the big balloon grace
fully ascended into the air. A parachute
was attached at the base from which the
trapeze was suspended. As the balloon
went up the professor hung by both arms
from the trapeze. Heat once commenced
to perform the most daring feats, hang
ing by his toes and standing on his head.
The balloon mounted the airy Nvaves
somewhat slower than it did last Tues
day, but it took much the same direc
tion, southwesterly. Deafening cheers
rent the air and complete amazement
seized the throng as the balloon was
passing over their heads about- half a
mile from the ground. But, horror of
horrors! when that distance was reached,
the balloon burst clear from the base to
the top. The utmost, consternation
seized the multitudes, immediately, and
a horrible death, from being dashed to
the earth, was momentarily expected.
Several ladies well nigh tainted from
dread and alarm. Thousands of eyes
were turned away from the tragic scene.
The commotion was simply dreadful.
'However, the skilled and practiced pro
fessional, with great presence of mind at
o ce cut loose the parachute and after a
fall of a few-seconds it flew open. With
a bravery all his own, he managed the
pamehutosplendidly, a voiding the heavy
canvass of the falling balloon. The par
achute was wafted rapidly towards the
river in a downward course. The crowds
anxiously watched its course. All grow
hopeful thatthe aeronaut wmild save his
life. By the way in which he acted it
seemed as if he was aiming to fall in the
river. Anyhow the parachute finally fell
into the Chattahoochee. Thousands of
the spectators at once rail to the river
bank, about one-eighth of a mile away.
The bank forms part of the park boun
dary. Then the following particulars of
the fall and the subsequent happenings
were learned from the men who attempted
to save him. Two men, C. H. Hamburg
and J. I). Dirken, were just after locking
their boat on their return from a duck
hunt, when they observed the balloon
descending and heard the professor
scream, “Bring the boat quick.” He
was thmi about two hundred feet from
the ground. The men immediately un
locked the boat and started down the
river. The professor again shouted, “For
God sake come quick,” just before lie
struck the water. After striking the
water he arose and said, “save my cap.”
the boat was then close to him, and
Hamburg caught him by both hands.
A strong effort was made to raise him
into the boat, but it unfortunately almost
tipped over and hall* filled with water.
The professor was entangled in the
trapeze cords and his body was through
the hoop. The parachute was then
dragged into the boat and another effort
made to save the aeronaut. But the
effort caused the parachute to fall again
into the water. Its weight almost im
mediately dragged the professor to the
bottom. The dreadful scene paralyzed
the crowd and everybody stood aghast.
In a few seconds the professor’s partner
reached the bank. He at once stripped
and jnmped in and dived several times to
try if he could find his brave companion.
But alas! his courage and devotion were
without success. Every possible effort
was made to locate the body, or the par-
aeh u ie. but all laiietE When several
the crowd returned to the grounds and
stated that the famous and brave bal
loonist was lying on the bottom of the
C .attahoochee, numbers doubted the
statement entirely, and indulged in earn
est out faint hopes that it was not trip.
But unfortunately all, later on, realized
the terrible fact, as hundreds returned
from the awful scene confirming the dire
ful news. The Exposition directorate
offered a reward of SIOO for the recovery
of the body. Superintendent T. J. Hunt,
of the exposition, at once hirecUtwenty
five men and proceeded to the river to
endeavor to find the body.
At 9 o’clock last night an Enquirer-
Sun reporter called at the Planters’
Hotel on Broad street for the purpose of
seeing Air. 0. J. Brady, partner of Prof.
Vandergrft. In answer to questions, he
said: “No blame whatever can be at
tached to anyone. Though Ve were ap
prehensive, it was our own proposition
to make the ascension. The balloon was
partially an old one. AYe bought it this
year, but some time ago a hole was
burned in the top of it. I also think it
was too full of hot air. The wind had
ho effect on it. Prof. Yandegrift met
with several accidents before, breaking
his leg five times. On one occasion a
balloon burst in West A'irginia, and he
fell five hundred feet. A tree broke the
fall and he escaped with a broken leg.
He has fallen in the Mississippi, Detroit
river, Hudson river and Lake Erie. The
second parachute jump lie made he broke
his leg. He was born in White Sulphur
Springs, West Virginia, but his late home
is in Cleveland, He was a fine swimmer
amWould make nothing of swimming
four or five miles. He was twenty-five
years of age and unmarried. Yesterday’s
jump was his forty-seventh. AYe have
lieen partners for the last five years, but
I have known him all his life.”
Mr. Brady wept bitterly at the terrible
fate of his companion.
The body was recovered at 11 o’clock
last night, fastened in the jetties, just be
low the hospital. The cords of the para
chute and trapeze were entangled round
his neck, arms and wrists in the most in
tricate manner. The cords were cut,
and aTereonsiderablediffieulty, the body
was raised on board one of the boats and
brought to the bank. The neck was
broken and tiie face somewhat scratched
It was subsequently removed to Under
taker Fletcher’s establishment, where an
inquest will be held this morning. The
body will then be embalmed and sent to
his friends in Clinton, Aliss. The sad oc
currence is deeply deplored by the entire
community, and the bravery, courage,
and daring of F. H. A r andegriit will ever
be engraven on the annals of the Chatta
hoochee Valley.
Southern Pig Iron in Demand.
New York Times.
The demand for Southern pig iron in
the Eastern markets is assuming large
proportions and is growing so rapidly
that it is attracting the attention of the
entire iron trade. Contracts for delivery
extending all through the coming year
are being made at an increase of from
50c to $1 per ton over the prices of the
past year. This fact is interesting as an
evidence of the development of the New
South. It is less than fifteen years
since the first order for Southern pig iron
was given for the Eastern market, and
it is estimated thatthe aggregate sales
of the first year did not amount to 500
tons. Since that time the demand has
increased so largely and so steadily that
the estimated sales for the past twelve
months amount to 150,000 tons. This
estimate does not include the Virginia
Iron Works, but only those surround
ing Chattanooga, Birmingham and
Anniston as centers.
These furnaces are now turning out a
grade of high silicon iron that L>,y airtily
sis and the greater test of use equals the
best Scotch iron imported to this coun
try. Moreover, the American-Scotch
irons are rapidly driving the foreign
Scotch irons out of. the American mar
ket, because they cost from $2 to $2.50
less per ton, and are equal, it not supe
rior, in quality. In the making of pul
leys, car w lu'els, and in the general uses
to which iron is put. except for Bessemer
steel, the Southern iron is most satisfac
tory, and the dealers in it confidently
express the belief that* the ratio of in
crease in the trade will be continued.
Synod of Georgia.
The Synod of Georgia met in Athens
yesterday. The exercises on Wednesday
consisted chiefly of a religious service con
ducted by Rev. Dr. Strickler of Atlanta,
after which the business of the body was
transacted and officers elected. Rev, Air.
Carter of Columbus, will deliver the
Thanksgiving sermon today.
The synod is composed of representa
tives from over two-thirds of the State
and has sixty-five members. The session
will last the remainder of the week and
possibly longer. Full attendance is ex
pected.

A FEW IMPORTANI LINES.
Gen. Harrison’s Reply to a South
ern Enquirer.
He Hints That There Would he No South
ern Question if the Protectiouisrs
Would Join His Party.
Greenville, S. C., Nov. 27. —The Green
ville Daily News today prints a letter re
cently received by its editors from Gen.
Harrison, and published by his permis
sion. It was written in reply to a letter
urging that Southern commercial inter
ests would be relieved from the obstruc
tion caused by doubts and fears regard
ing the Southern policy of the coming
administration if Gen. Harrison would
make some general assurances of his pur
poses to follow a conservative course to
ward the South.
It is adressed to A. B. AA’illiarns of the
Daily News and is as follows :
“Your letter of November 10 has been
received. lam not ready to make any
public utterances upon any public ques
tion. Every day I am solicited by special
correspondents of the press to speak up
on this subject or that, but I have inva
riably declined, and to your appeal for
some expression upon the question that
interests you I must, for the present,
make the answer.
“I understand that you have yourself
been satisfied with the expiessions made
by me in my public utterances to visiting
delegations during the campaign, and
when the surprise and disappointment
which some of your people have felt over
the result have passed away, and they
give some calm thought to the situation,
I think they will be as much surprised as
I am that they should, in thought or
speech, impute to me unfriendliness to
ward the South.
“The policies on legislation advised by
the Republican party I believe are whole
some for the whole country, and if those
who in their hearts believe with us upon
these questions would act with us, some
Other questions that give you local con
cern would settle themselves.”
Death of Mr. Knsley Stegall.
There was a great gloom cast over
Emerson and neighborhood, and Bartow
county, when the news was current that
Mr, Emsley Stegall (Uncle Enisley) as he
was better known by his neighbors and
closer friends, was dead.
He was one of the county's best known
citizens and had many friends.
His death occurred at his home near
Emerson on last Sunday morning, the
25th inst., the cause being Bl ight’s dis
ease together with old age. He had been
stricken several weeks, and his relatives
and friends attracted to Ids bedside, did
all they could in the hope that he would
rally and be spared several more years
of life.
He was born in Greenville district,
South Carolina, on January 7th, 1816,
and was consequently in his 73d year.
He moved to Bartow county in 1839,
where he resided up to the time of his
death. He joined the Mel hodist church,
placing his membership at Stegall’s elm pel
in 1857, and proved a consistent mem
ber of the same tor thirty-one years, up
to his death.
Stegall’s Station was named for him,
and, it is said, he was rather displeased
when the name was changed to' Emerson.
Mr. Stegall was noted for his great
physical powers, his firmness m whatever
he believed to lie right, his loyalty to his
friends, and his benevolent nature. Alany
are the persons that can testify feelingly
to his charitable deeds and the help ren
dered in many ways to the needy.
He leaves considerable property, the
accumulations of honest industry.
A sorrowing wife and two sons, Messrs.
John P. and Robert Stegall, survive him.
These and his several grandchildren were
about his bedside, and watched affection
ately during his last hours.
His funeral took place from the church
at Emerson on Monday, the exercises
being conducted by Rev. H. J. Adams
from the 15th verse of the 49ih Psalm :
“But God will redeem my soul from the
power of the grave; for He shall receive
me.” The attendance was among the
largest ever seen at a funeral in Bartow
county, many friends from different, points
Lieing present.
A Tribute to Georgia.
Memphis Avalanche.
Air. Henry Grady’s Georgia is a fruitful
field. It has all the elements of true
greatness. Every mail brings anew in
stance. All the meteoric stones which
fall in the Union of late are found on
Georgia soil. It grows all the prize pump
kins, its wildcats are the fiercest, and its
deer leap highest. Unheard-of scores are
made by its marksmen, marvelous fish
captured in its streams. All the electric
girls and magic statesmen come from
Georgia, audits evangelists are the mos*
noted in the world,. In no other State is
imagination, especially among journal
ists, as vivid, and as a consequence Geor
gia is the best advertised State in the
Union. Nothing is chronicled of any
other part of the world, civilized or bar
baric, that Georgia cannot surpass.
Jiltio in tlte .South.
N. 0. Picayune. •
The most noticeable feature of tlio in
dustrial development that lias been going
on in the South during the past few years
is unquestionably the increase in the
manufacture of cotton goods. This is
the more interesting and important, as
cotton is the principal product of the
Southern States ; heneeit seems the most
natural thing in the world that the cot
ton mill should flourish in near proximity
to the cotton plant.
At a recent public meeting in Boston
the statement was made that- the manu
facture of cotton was increasing much
faster at. the South than in New England.
More mills have been built in Georgia
alone since the war than are now in op
eration in New Hampshire. In 1879 the
number of cotton factories in the South
was lot; in 1887 the number had in
creased to 219, while now there are 2.1.7
mills in operation, 17 new ones almost
ready to begin work, and 40 more build
ing.
Cormnentingon this, Bradstreet’s Jour
nal, a well known trade paper, says:
‘‘The inference to be drawn from these
facts is, of course, that the cotton man
ufacturing industry has better prospects
for growth at the South than at the
North, so that the New England concerns
are being crowded to the wall.”
While freely admitting the force of the
first part of i f s own commentary, that
the cotton industry has better prospects
for growth at the South than at the
North, Bradsireet vigorously combats
the latter part, that the New England
concerns are being crowded to the wall.
We enti.nly agree with BradstreeCs
view of the matter, as the cousn mpi ion
ofcotton goods both a t home and abroad
is increasing much more rapidly than the
milling industry is developing in the
South, he nee theie is still more than
enough profitable employment, fornill the
factories of the country. But granting
this, it is nevertheless true that tin* star
of empire in the cotton trade is drifting
South.
Could there be anything nug-e logical
than that cotton should be manufactured
into cloth in the neighborhood ot the
fields in which it is grown, especially as
considerable expense is thereby avoided?
Labor is cheap and plentiful all over the
South; transportation facilities are daily
improving, and Southern.mills find cus
tomers for a large portion of their output
at their verv door.
As the South must look to manufactur
ing as the road to future greatness, the
progress shown in the erection of cotton
mills is gratifying in the extreme.
A Tribe of 14e<l Men.
The order known as the Improved
Order of lied Men now have a tribe in
this city. Mr. Jacob Emmel, the Great
Chief of Records of Georgia,* came up
Wednesday, accompanied by twenty-two
men from Comanche, Cherokee and Mo
hawk Tribes, of Atlanta, and at night
instituted the tribe here. There were
twenty-five of the charter members, ar.d
they number some of the very best men
of the city. The following was installed
as the first corps of officials:
G. A. Pattillo, Sachem.
W. A. Williams. Senior Sagamore.
A. Strickland, Junior Sagamore.
L. M. Holland, Prophet.
G. M. Montgomery, Chief of Records.
M. Scheuer, Keeper of Wampum.
The tribe wy.s christened “Etowah
Tribe, No. 27.”
The order starts under bright auspices
and promises to be a popular and last

S;i<l Death of a Young Lady.
Miss Emma E, Stocks, eighteen years

died on Monday, tlie 1 Otli inst., at her
father’s horn.e in this city, 01 consump
tion, from which she had been for some
time a sufferer. Her funeral took place
from the Baptist church, of which she
was a member, on Tuesday, the 20th,
Rev. W. H. Cooper, in some feeling re
marks portraying the beauty of her
('hristian character, and dwelling impress

there will be no undue haste in this mat

soon as the Fifty-first Congress met he
should bring in a bill to repeal the civil
