It is rumored that Colonel Albert R.
Lamar, before entering upon journalism
again, will write a history of Georgia
politics since thewar. There is no man

Chief Justice Waite, Associate Justice
Strong, of the Supreme Court; Bishop
Coxe, of the Protestant Episcopal

Senator Joseph E. Hawley, and Bishop
Hurst, of the Methodist Church.
Chief Justice Waite says that the
Supreme Court isoverworked. The appel
late jurisdiction of the court is now what
it was when it was first established —
w hen the population was 4,000,000, now
it is 00,000,000. The cases docketed
there was about 1,000 and now they are
14,000. The court is so much behind in
its business that it takes about three
years to get a hearing and decision.
The national indebtedness has been re
duced to the extent of $23,902,1:140 in the
first quarter of the current fiscal year,
$14,247,969 of this sum being credited
to September. This is equivalent to a
reduction of about $95,000,000 a
year, which is $2,000,000 more
than that of the fiscal year of 1886,
and $14,000,000 less than that of 1887.
From present indications, however, the
debt payment will hardly exceed $20,-
000,000 this year, it equals that sum.
The Daily Tribune of Rome made its
first appearance last Sunday morning.
I ts editorial department is under the man
agement of that talented and accom
plished young journalist, John T Graves,
late editor of the Atlanta Journal. Mr.
Houston Harper is the spicy city editor,
and Mr. A. L. Brooks business manager.
If the first few issues are to be accepted
as an index to the future get up of the
Tribune, then it will take a front rank as
one of the neatest, newsiest and best
daily papers in Georgia. It is the best
paper Rome has ever had, and it deserves
the warmest support of her citizens.
Henry Johnson, one of the leaders of
the Salvation Army, who has been hold
ing forth in Rome tor sometime, was con
victed in Floyd Superior t.’ourt hist week
of an outrageous assault upon a young
white girl. The infamous hypocrite, when
arrested, was engaged in prayer at one of
the army meetings, but a few hours after
the assault was made. When preachers
steal horses and leaders in the Salvation
Army commit outrages upon young girls,
the judgments of the courts ought to be
tern [Mired with but little mercy towards
them.
In the hist issue of the Kennesaw

of a view from, the redoubt on the heights
over-looking the Western and Atlantic

beauty. The rolling hills and the grand
mountain looming up in the background
makes a grand picture of nature’s beauty
and majesty.
Mr. Joseph M. Brown, general freight

Why Not Invest in Bartow?
The Atlanta Constitution of the 3rd
instant says:
“A raw EnttrHxhnian niaJcea the point that
Hinnlnirtiain. Ktiftlanil, in not tin well situated on
the AlnUaiini rit.v of the name name, and yet has
a population of ometliiK like SMO.Odfi souls
lUrnihifrharn’H proximity to the emit and Iron
fields reminds one of Atlanta's situation. We
have here all the natural advantages neoded for
the butJdiiiK up of a lsrse manufacturing city.
The progress of the North Alabama towns is
watched with satisfaction here, localise the de
velopment of those places will largely benefit us.
After the first Hurry is over Atlanta will forge
ahead as the leading manufacturing city of this
re tion. Her distributing advantages more than
o.T-set the proximity of Itinningham to the coal
fields and iron distrlcss.”
It is passing strange to us that the
shrewd business men of Atlanta who are
seeking in vest meats for their money in Al
abama towns, overlook the Eldorado at
their doors.
We submit to their consideration, as
well as to the judgment of all investors,
the following facts:
1. By the census of 1880 it apjiears
that the improved lands of Bartow coun
ty arc valued at $2,162,212, and that
the crops produced thereon in that year
were valued at $903,588. The famed
county of Adams in the State of Illinois,
in the same year upon lauds valued at
17,595,477, produced crops valued at
only $3,194,250. In other words, the
farmer of Bartow, with unreliable
labor, imperfect system and wasteful
habits, produces from his land
in Georgia nearly 50 per cent of
their value, while the Illinois agricultur
ist with perfect labor service, clock-like
system, and a rigid economy produces
only 16 per cent. What says the home
seeker to this comparison?
2. The lowest mean temperature for
any three months of the year from 1874
to 1884, was 44.8°; the highest 78°. Let
our Northern friend who mops his brow
while running home for an overcoat pon
der here for a moment.
3. Upon our river and within view of
the W. & R. R. flows a water power of
over 7,000 horse, at low water mark.
The site of war destroyed works
prove its capacity and mutely invites the
touch of development. A hundred streams
in the county waste their impatient
force, waiting the curbing and directing
hand of intelligent application.
4. But it is to our mineral deposits to
which w r e call especial attention. We are
only seventy miles from the coal fields of
Alabama, with direct railroad communi
cation, by way of the East and West
Railroad of Alabama; and the Western
and Atlantic Railroad furnishes a line to
the competing mines of Tennessee. Jn
other words, we draw from the near coal
fields of both Alabama and Tennessee,
while both these States must depend upon
its own production for supply.
5. Long before the late war there were
five furnaces in operation in Bartow, pro
ducing, by crude methods, and unskilled
labor, the finest quality of charcoal
iron. The business paid. But it
it is only of late that the enor
mous quantity of iron and manganese
ores lying in our hills have been revealed.
We have scarcely scratched the surface,
yet from only two mines we ship annual
ly over 27000 tons of iron, and nowhere
have excavations been made fifty feet
below the surface. It is estimated that
in one acre there is deposited nearly
500,000 tons of brown hematite within
easy and profitable reach. We are now
shipping our iron ores both to Tennessee
and to Birmingham. Alabama tells us
she needs our ores, aud Tennessee has
been btiying for years. Our brown hem
atite ore carries over 60 per cent, ot pure
iron, and the gray specular ore over 64
per cent. The comprehensive mind of
Joseph E. Brown long ago realized the
situation, and the Dade Coal company
has invested in largely, is operating with
tine profits, and continues to buy. The
Etowah Iron and Manganese Company,
owning nearly 12,000 acres in the min
eral belt, has received offers of lease for
less than 300 acres, the secured profits on
which, to the company, would pay them
over ten per cent, annually upon the
purchase price paid for the entire 12,000
acres. Yet this three hundred acres
hardly contains the 100th part of their
mineral deposits.
It lies within the knowledge of the
writer that a mine owner is now receiving
nearly 50 per cent, per annum in profits
from a single miUe, and the deposit is
barely touched. These instances are
mentioned that the reader may see that
there is money in it.
Statistics rank Bartow county as third
m the quality of manganese shipped;
yet the writer ventures the opinion that
nowhere is mining for this valuable
metal carried on as crudely. The pocket
drifts on the surface are rifled, while the
main stores remain untoched. This ore
is worth delivered at the depots about
s(i, while iron ore is worth only $1.50.
Bear in mind that eonqietent authority
has pronounced the manganese deposits
in Bartow to be superior to any which
have yet been discovered. A furuauce
for the conversion of this ore from the
crude manganese, worth $0 per ton, into
Speigel, worth $25 per ton a.id upwards,
is one of the many investments which
we think would pay our Atlanta friends.
But imagination exhausts itself in
picturing the possibilities of the profit
which would inevitably result from
prudent investment here. All things
invite. A sober, god-fearing people; a
fertile soil; a delightful climate; un
bounded and incalculable mineral re
source; illimitable forests for the pro
duction of charcoal, and coal at our
doors for coke irons; manganese in
quantities and quality unsurpassed any
where else in the world; marble, black,
white and gray, beneath our hills; the ex
istence of the lesser minerals demon
strated, and their presence in paying
qualities reasonably believed —why is it
that Atlanta does not reach out
her baud and turn to her doors
the profits which await the first
investors? The Constitution attempts
to set off Atlanta’s advantages as
a distributing point against Birming
ham's proximity to the coal and iron
fields. ()ur esteemed contemporary over
looks the fact of Atlanta’s prox
imity to the most wonderful
mineral district upon earth—one
whose advantages immeasurably sur
pass the widely advertised Birming
ham district of Alabama. Why do not
the traders of Atlanta, retaining all her
advantages as a distributing eeuter, go
to work and develop the unfailing
sources of profit which lie among her
surrounding lulls? Why not make her
not the Birmingham of Georgia, but the
Birmingham of the South?
Senator Colquitt's Seat.
The Constitution is out in an editorial
j attacking Senator Colquitt’s position on
| the tariff and kindred questions, aud
j putting him on notice that his services
could lie dis|>cnHcd with after the expira
tion of his present term,unless he changed
his policy upon these matters. The atti
tude of the Constitution towards the
Senator, for whom it has i>een so zealous
and enthusiastic in its support, in years
i gone by, created no little seusation in
j jiolitical circles.
Its position places the first coals under
the political caldron, and the steam is
liegiuning to rise. It at once inaugurates
a vigorous campaign for Senator Col
quitt's seat. The fight will be an inter
esting one. The Senator is almost invin
cible before the people, as has been dem
onstrated on several occasions, and will
enter the race with a clean record and a
fair field. The Constitution, on the other
hand, is a powertul paper, wielding great
influence, and keeps things pretty warm
for any antagonist.
One thing is evident, and that is, that
there is to be lively times, politically
speaking, in Georgia next year. It is
rumored that at a political conference
recently held, the following slate was
made up :
For United Sta tes Senator in 1892 (to
succeed Hon. Joseph E. Brown) —John B.
Gordon.
For United States Senat >r to succeed
Hon. Alfred H. Colquitt—Alfred H. Col
quitt.
For Governor —James H. Blount.
And that in this conference, the Consti
tution was ignored, and on that account
is taking revenge by an attack upon
Senator Colquitt. This rumor, however,
has been denied, but there is abundant
evidence to show that affairs are not
harmonious, to say the least of it, and
that there is a. contest ahead.
Silica in the Manufacture of Iron
and Steel.
A most valuable discovery has been
made by Maj. G. G. Mullins, of the United
States Army, by which silica can be used
to great advantage in the production of
iron aud steel. He has had his process
patented, and claims that by it the manu
facture of irou and steel will be revolu
tionized.
A full account of this wonderful dis
covery will be found in another column.
•The main feature of this new process is a
peculiar use of silica in the iorm of
crushed quartz or pure white sand as an
ally and detergent in the production of
superior iron and steel, even from the
cheapest crude material. The use of the
silica helps greatly to eliminate sulphur,
phosphorus, arsenic and other impurities;
it removes the oxide of iron. It makes
the production of a comparatively puri
fied, hard, tough and maleable irou very
simple and cheap.
If this discovery is a success, Bartow
county is ready to contribute every ele
ment necessary to the manufacture of
iron under the process. Besides ores of
every description, quality and kind, in un
told quantities, we have the purest grade
of silica to be found anywhere. An analy
sis show much of it to assay as high as
98 per cent.
The State Road.
We are sorry to see the present Legis
lature haranguing over the ques
tion of the sale or lease of
the Western and Atlantic railroad,
and losing sight of the great question
that should command their attention —
that of betterments. When this ques
tion is settled, it will be an easy matter
for the people of Georgia, at the next
election, to determine what disposition
they desire made of the road, and so in
struct their representatives, who will
then have two years before the expiration
of the present lease to carry out their in
structions. But if the matter of better
ments is left unsettled, it will be a cloud
hanging over the property that will pre
vent an intelligent and sjieedy disposi
tion of it.
We repeat, the paramount duty of the
present Legislature, as regards the road,
is to definitely determine the responsi
bility, if there be any, of the State to the
lessees for betterments. This will leave
the naked question of sale or lease for
the next General Assembly; and as to
their duty in the premises, the people will
fully and unmistakably instruct them.
The New York court of appeals has
affirmed the decision of the court below
in the Jacob Sharp case. So Mr. Sharp
must go to the penitentiary, unless a
higher court interferes. The New York
court, it will be observed, took about the
same ground that was recently taken by
the Supreme court of Illinois, in the case
of the Chicago anarchists. That is to
say, it refused to set aside the action of
the lower court, because of errors in the
records, which were merely of a techni
cal character. The existence of such
errors was conceded; but the verdict was
allowed to stand, nevertheless, on the
theory, that “‘the jury were justified in
arriving at the result they did.” The
courts took a very sensible and practical
view of the matter. They thought that
the jury had enough facts upon which to
predicate a verdict, regardless of minor
technicalities. Sometimes it would seem
that tdo much stress is placed upon what
is generally termed legal technicalities in
the trial of criminal cases, and the guilt
or innocence of the accused is lost sight
of and overshadowed by them.
The volume of immigration continues
to increase, the total number of alien ar
rival in eight months of the present cal
endar year having been 3(52,839, as
compared with 254,(579 in the corre
sponding period of last year. It is hardly
probable, of course, that the immigration
of the calendar year 1887 will equal that
of the fiscal year 1882, when it reached
788,992, the highest figure. There
is strong likelihood, however, that the
fiscal year 18,38. nearly three months of
which have already expired, will exceed
the largest previous record in this direc
tion.
Mu. Frank H. Richardson, of the Con
stitution staff, and who, for several years,
has been the brilliaut and able corre
spondent of that pajier, in Washington,
has been made editor-in-chief of the
Macon Telegraph. Mr. Richardson is a
young man of fine ability, und will bring
to his new post large general experience
in journalism. He will be a worthy suc
cessor to Col. Lamar, and the Telegraph's
editorials will make the paper a strong
factor in Geoegia politics. •

St. Louis Globe-Democrat.]
Another large industry has l>een added
to the special enterprises of St. Louis in
the organization last night of the Mul
lins Sillicuted Iron and Steel Company,
the object being to utilize the discovery
made by Maj. G. G. Mullins, Chaplain,
United States army, several years ago.
Maj. Mullins is well known in St. Louis
having been stationed here many years
as supervisor of education in the army,
ami when in need of assistance he natu
rally turned to friends here. They took
hold of the matter, and during the past
month about twenty capitalists and
munufat:tiirers of this city, Chicago and
Pittsburg have been watching with lively
interest the development and demonstra
tion of his process for the application of
anew principle in the manufacture of
iron and steel. The main feature of the
process is a peculiar use of silica, in the
form of crushed quartz or pure white
sand, as an ally and detergent in the pro
duction of superior iron and steel, even
from the cheapest crude material. Prac
tical iron men and iron masters have
witnessed trials of the process made on a
large scale, and they testify that it cer
tainly does make a marked improve
ment in the product, and that it more
than suggests an important influence of
silica and silicon heretofore not recog
nized in the manufacture of irou. The
company has already obtained patents
from the United States, England, France,
Germany, Spain, Belgium and Russia.
HISTORY OF THE DISCOVERY.
Maj. Mullins arrived in the city yester
day, from Pittsburg, where he hail been
superintending several new tests, and in
answer to questions by a Globe-Demo
crat reporter, gave the following sketch
of his discovery and its uses:
“In 1869 and 1870, in the mountains
of Colorado, while superintending a
small smelting furnace, and trying to re
duce refractory silver ore,'’ he said, “my
attention was arrested by some appa
rently curious chemical reactions of silica
and iron. I began at once a series of
careful crucible experiments, and was
soon convinced that in certain combina
tions and conditions silica would act in
ways unrecorded by chemists and metal
lurgists. Through all these years, as I
have had opportunity, I have been ex
perimenting upon, and studying silica
and silicon. As early as 1872 I demon
strated to my own satisfaction that I
had made a valuable discovery, and con
tended that silica would yet prove to be
the iron and steel producer’s powerful
helper, and that in this new field I would
be the pioneer. Now, since my claim and
rights have at last been acknowledged
at Washington, my company may be
said to have the corner on silica in iron
metallurgy. 1 early filed a caveat, and
afterward fought for a patent, and that,
too, despite sickness, poverty, many dis
couragements, and absorbing duties in
other directions. But I now have the
patents, and such are the conditions of
my process and so overwhelming the
proof of priority of my discovery, that
we can easily stop infringement and
maintain the claim of interference against
the one or two parties \tho may have re
cently obtained patents for some specific
use of silica in other processes, such as
for the manufacture of ferro silicon and
the removal of oxide of iron from the
bath in the Bessemer converter.
A COMPLETE MONOPOLY. u
“The heart, or the ‘point d’appuly’ of
my very comprehensive claim consists in
this: The exclusive right to use silica, in
the form of crushed quartz or pure white
sand, in any molten mass rof iron, in
order to purify and otherwise improve
the product, whether in blast furnace,
cupola, puddling furnace, crucible, con
verter, ladle or mold, it matters not
what. Our great opening is in the field
of weak irons. From cold-short or red
short weak and cheap pig we can manu
facture superior wrought or cast-iron.
In a recent trial, when given a heat of
the most inferior red-short pig to oper
ate upon, 1 succeeded in making a metal
which Inis been tested and proved to
have a tensile strength of over 54,000
pounds to the square inch. But, of
course, we can profitably treat the high
grades of iron, and we propose to make
application of our discovery in all possi
ble directions. I am now considering
the subject of the manufacture of a su
perior car-wheel to meet a most urgent
demand. A purified, tough, malleable
iron is now the great desideratum or
necessity. Bessemer steel has seen its
greatest day, and from now on its popu
larity will gradually wane. It is not fit
for railroad, bridge or boiler purposes.
It is not homogeneous, not reliable. It
is first too much burned up, and then
given an artificial life and strength of
short duration by the introduction of
spiegel, or ferro-manganese. It is more
subject than any other metal made to
rapid molecular change and crystalliza
tion from the influence of heat, cold,
steam, electricity, magnetism, vibration
and concussion. In this respect, we can
produce irou vastly its superior.
THE PROCESS DEFINED.
“I have made over 300 experiments,
about sixty on a large scale. At a cer
tain moment 1 introduce a certain per
cent, of silica into the molten mass of
iron. It helps greatly to eliminate sul
phur, phosphorus, arsenic and other im
purities; it removes the oxide of iron. In
a measure, it combines with the iron and
forms an alloy.of steel-like appearance;
it converts white iron into gray; it helps
to overcome red-shortness' and cold
shortness in iron and steel; it makes an
acid and very liquid slag; it liberates the
gases, and renders the product homeo
geneous, and free from porousness and
tendency to blister. In brief, it enables
us to produce in a very simple and cheap

AS AX EDITOH.
Hieronymous Crank Recalls a Painful
Newspaper experience.
“Hieronymous Crank,” Memphis Sunday Times.
I have never yet discovered the man
who would acknowledge that he could
not run a newspaper. He might be will
ing to acknowledge anything else ; he
might confess that he has mistaken his
calling in becoming a minister; he might
say that he was never built for a lawyer,
or that medicine was not to his taste; he
might own up that he could not run a
saw mill, a locomotive, a school, a hotel,
a steamboat or a saloon, but he would
never admit that he could not make a
newspaper a howling success.
I discovered this pyschological fact
several years ago when a friend of mine
took a trio to Europe and asked me to
run his paper for him while he was away.
Now, if there was one thing that I
thought 1 could do then, it was to con
duct a newspaper; so I promptly acceded
to liis request and was installed as editor.
I determined in the first place that I
would sound public sentiment, and find
out accurately what my readers wanted.
Here are a few of their opinions:
“Your editorials are too long, people
don’t read anything longer than fifteen
lines nowadays. They believe in para
graphs,”
“Why don’t you give us some editor
ials? Those short comments are not
worth reading. They give us no idea of
a subject.”
“Y'ou ought to give more personal and
society news. Surely the movements of
respectable people are of much more im
portance than the records of the police
court.”
“What makes you fill your paper with
all this slush ? Nobody cares to read
that kind of stuff.”
“1 can’t see why you fill your paper
with so much trivial local news, when so
many important events are taking place
elsewhere?”
“For goodness sake, give us a rest on
this foreign news! Nobody here care what
the royal idiots are doing in Europe.”
“Why don’t, you cater more to the
ladies ? They are the greatest nevvspaj>er
readers, and it seems to me you slight
them entirely.”
“Look here! Y'ou are making a mis
take in publishing a woman’s paper. If
you expect to succeed you will have to
put something stronger in it.”
“As soon as you quit publishing this
infernal baseball news you can renew my
subscription.”
“What’s the matter with your paper
now? It has no baseball in it. That’s
the only department I read, and if you
cau’t give us more than you do, why, you
can stop my paper.”
“Y'ou could greatly improve your paper
by publishing articles of the best humor
ists occasionally.”
“I can’t understand why you stuff your
columns with the alleged humor of Bill
Nye, Bob Burdette and the funny papers.
Nobody wants to read that kind of
truck.”
“Well, I see you are publishing a red
hot prohibition paper now. You will
make a great many enemies by embrac
ing that folly,”
“I hear a good many complaints among
the prohibitionist of the lukewarmness of
the paper. They say that you have gone
back on the cause.”
“There is one thing lacking m your
paper. You are not spicy and personal
enough. People want personalities now
adays. They want to be shook up.”
“ You ought not to indulge so much in
personalities. Maintain a judicial tone,
and anything like heat or malice.”
“If the paper had more sporting news
in it and fewer religious notes, it would
be more popular.”
“Religious people complain a great deal
about your filling your paper with sport
ing news and neglecting the affairs of the
church.”
Such was the advice I got. It was
plain that in order to satisfy everybody
I had to double the size of the paper or
discontinue its publication entirely. I
concluded to adopt the advice in sec-
I became by turns rapturously
religious and sublimely skeptical. 1
wrote like a literateur one week, and
like the correspondent of a sporting
journal the next. I constructed ponder
ous articles on the tariff, and, as an off
set, penetrated the giddy of giddies, and
dished up an editorial on society. I
wrote learnedly about baseball, and de
veloped an easy, cowboy style in my lit
erary critiques. I noticed every local
plank walk that had been laid, and every
watermelon lawn party that had been
given, one week; and next I wrote about
the early extermination of Europe. I
gave my views about agriculture in a
way that infuriated the entire Grange
element. I wrote up a public official in a
judicial way, and nobody paid any at
tentiod to it. I denounced another offi
cial in a lurid, red-headed style, and con
tracted a serious Case of" doctor’s bill on
account of it.
When 1 had been an editor for about
six weeks, I became aware of the fact
that if the owners of the paper did not
return soon, he would find nothing of his
journal left except the mortgages on the
type and press.

F. J. Cheney & Cos., Toledo, O. —Dear
Sirs: About throe months ago. noticing
a letter addressed to you in the Bee from
Gen. Slevin, in reference to the cure of
his son by the nso of Hall’s Catarrh Cure,
we were induced to commence the use of
it lor our daughter Nellie now fourteen
years old, who has been suffering from
catarrh for about eight yean*, during
which time she has been treated by one
of the best physicians in the city. We
have also teied the use of almost all the
known remedies for catarrh, with no
more success than temporary relief.
Many nights have we laid awake to hoM
her mouth open to keep her from strang
ling. Her hearing had also become affec
ted. We were afraid that she would
never recover. We have now used six
bottles of Hall's CatarA Cure, and we
believe Nellie to be entirely cured. In a
few days after commencing the use of it
we noticed a decided change for the bet
ter, and from that right along she has
improved, until now she breaths as easily
as any one. She sleeps well and her
hearing is perfectly good. We feel that
the disease is entirely removed. We
write this unsolicited letter, feeling that,
it is due you, and with the hope that
others may be benefitted in like manner.
We can hardly realize that such a change
could he effected in so short a time
after battling with the disease so long.
We are still using the remedy at inter
vals, as it seems to build up her system.
You are at liberty to use this in any
manner you see proper.
We are yours, truly,
Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin,
220 Franklin Avenue.

Weather proverbs for October: Much
rain in October, much wind in December.
A good October and a good blast.
Ho blow the hog acorn and the mast.
If October brings heavy frosts and
winds, then will January and Febuary
be mild.
When it freezes and snows in October,
January will bring mild wepther; but if
it is thundering and heat lightning, the
winter will resemble April in temper.
Warm October, cold February.
As the weather in October, so will it be
in the next March.
If the first snow falls on moist, soft
earth it indicates a small harvest (the
next year), but if upon hard, frozen soil
a good h arvest.
A Sound Legal Opinion.
E. Bainbridge Munday, Esq., County
Attorney, Clay County, Texas, says:
“Have used Electric Bitters with most
happy results. My brother also was
very low with Malarial Fever and Jaun
dice, but was cured by timely use of this
medicine. Am satisfied Electric Bitters
saved his life.”
Mr. I). I. Wilcoxon, of Horse Cave,
Ky., adds a like testimony, saying: He
positively believes he would have died
had it not been for Electric Bitters.
This great remedy will ward off, as
well as cure, all Malarial Diseases, and
