What a royal empire God made, when
Im* mode Georgia!
For a century she led her sisters in de
velopment, and as New York stood to
the North, so stood she to the South.
Within the past few years Alabama
.Hid Tennessee seem disposed to chal
lenge her supremacy. They base their
, laims on coal and iron. Somehow or
other the storm-centers of the iron flurry
settled about Birmingham and Sheffield.
Recent developments show that Geor
gia has better iron ore than either A la
lidiia or Tennessee, and in exhaustless
fcuautitiesl
f Watch the storm centers shift 1
1 \n<i as they change their bearings, see
Atlanta become the great iron and steel
renter of the South!
Do you want the straws that note the
mining current of the trade-winds?
The Georgia Pacific road carries daily
car-loads of Georgia ore to Birmingham
to he worked up there.
Mr. Hines M. Smith is making $l5O a
day profit shipping Polk county ore* to
Birmingham, and lie cannot meet a
tenth of the demand.
Georgia ore is shipped from Carters
ville by the t rain-load daily to Carnegie
Brothers, in Pittsburg, who could never
jiiul in. Alabama mines what they wanted.
Chattanooga buys every pound of her
steel-making ore hpm Cranbury (N.U.,)
and will buy from Georgia when our Bes
semer mines are opened.
Tip* reason of this is that, there is, but
little manganese ore in Alabama and
Tennessee, and no fiessemer ore. The
immense mines of Alabama could not
furnish enough ore to run the steel plant
a 1 Bessemer a month.
In Georgia there are magnetic ores in
enormous deposits and of unequalled
quality.
Here are some analysis, for instance,
Ironi Lumpkin county, a county in which
pio one thought of iron. They are made
by Professor Pratt. One specimen show
ed 71.01 per emit of metalic iron and
.005 of phosphorous. Another 70.94 of
metalic iron and .007 of phosphorous,
and neither with a trace of sulphur and
remarkably free of silica. * There are
dozens such specimens, each taken from
different pits. There is another speci
men yielding 09.10 per cent, of metalic
iron, with 1.01 of silica, and no trace of
phosphorous or sulphur.
But here is the test. Mr. 1). G. Wylie,
president of the company owning the
Property, sent specimens of the ore to
1 liattanooga. and Pittsburg. The Chat
tanooga firm replied immediately that
■ hey would give $7.50 a ton for the ore,
-rood ore sells at $2.50,) and would take
►OO tons a day! The orders from Pifcts
■ mrg were large, and the writer said and
mch ore was to be found in sufficient
quantity it would save such firms as the
1 'onegies from importing ore from Eu
rope.
Georgia ores are rapidly coming into
notice. The Hon. Charles Dougherty
-mit some specimens to the Hon. W. L.
''cott, of Erie, who submitted them to
l his own chemist. The result was he of
r'rcd Mr. Dougherty $30,000 for his

pan out richly.

hidden in those mountains and uplands,
we should see such a rush in that section
as was never surpassed at Birmingham.’’
Why lias this development been so re
tarded?
1. For the lack of railroad facilities,
which has left much of the now develop
ing region a terra incognita.
2. The immense finds of iron elsewhere,
which absorbed attention. It is only the
eager search for the better manganese
and Bessemer ores (without which Ala
bama's future is doubtful), that has
shown Georgiato have them of best qual
ity and in great quantity.
The fact stands that we have them.
We are shipping them daily to Bir
mingham, Chattanooga, Pittsburg and
other points, and the amount we ship is
limited salely by the amount we are min
ing. See what Professor Pratt says of
Lumpkin county iroirore:
“The magnetic ore of this belt are re
markable for their purity and absolute
freedom for all deleterious substances.
The belt is one and a half miles west of
Dahloncga and has probably not less
than 50 to 100 feet of ore-bearing strata.”
Again he speaks of Lumpkin county
ore “as equal in quality to that of the
island of Elba."
Professor Cahlon says of this ore: “I
have compared it with the famous Cran
berry ore and it is exactly the same class
of ore and lode.”
It is not only in Lumpkin that these
finer ores can be found but all over North
Georgia. From Polk county to the State
line they show' up wherever they are look
ed for. There is no doubt that Georgia
is richer in this class of ores than any
state or section in this country.
What shall we do about it?
Shall we continue to ship our ores to
build up distant cities? Shall Mr. Wylie
accept the offer of $7.50 a ton for 300
tons daily for Chattanooga, and double
as much for Pittsburg and ship our raw
material unworked. Shall Cartersville
and Polk county continue to strip their
hills and send ore at a nominal price to
feed the furnaces of Birmingham?
Or shall we build furnaces in Georgia
and utilize our matchless resources for
our own upbuilding?
A steel plant in .Atlanta to cost $500.-
000, fed with Bessemer ores and manga
nese from our own neighborhood would
do more for Atlanta than two or three
new railroads. It would bring millions
of outside capital into Georgia. The
working of pig iron may be easily over
done—the working of Bessemer ores nev
er can be.
The Constitution shall let the world
know precisely what we have in North
Georgia in the way of ir<en ores —of such
quality as cannot be found in Alabama
or Tennessee. To clear the decks for this
work let it be remarked in advance that
this work shall be done at our own cost,
and that we have not a dollar’s interest
in any of the properties or localites dis
cussed.
Professor Pratt is one of the best ana
lytical chemists in America. It was he
who discoveeed the phosphate beds of
South Carolina, and he developed that
industry through his own efforts. More
than $16,000,000 was invested in South
Carolina in the phosphate industry. It
was he who also developed the sulphuric
acid business in the South. He built the
first chemical works in the South and
has since built eight more. He says he
is surer of the outcome and development
of North Georgia than he ever was.
Many People Refuse to Take Cod
Liver Oil on account of its unpleasant
taste. This difficulty has been overcome
in Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil
with Hypophosphites. It being as pala

remedy known for the treatment of Con

caused ph vsicians in all parts of the
world to use it. Physicians report our
little patients take it with pleasure. Try
Scott’s Emulsion, and be convinced.
Dr. Thomas Hall, Holly Creek, Ga., says:
“I am using Scott's Emulsion, in the

Benjamin Franklin knows that he left,
by special bequest, a sum of money,

as much for Boston. The period of the

use the investmene to purchase and lay
out a Park, to be called the 1* ranklin

FAIREST OF THE FAIR.
Dost Thou Recognize the Pho
tos, Ladies ?
•.* * • *
Some Lt*aji Yeiic Pointers by the “Tender
Iftit <t m >Vho*ure now Posing 1 iu the .Mat*
Hmonial Market Waiting for the
Question to be Popped.
•‘ Why differ ou which is the fairest form,
When all have the power the heart to warm ?
Although by different charms they strike,
Their power is eqal rnd alike.”
\Ye salute you, ladies, and wish you a
successful lea]) year, but you must pay
your money “before you take your
choice.” The packages in winch we come
before the public are small, but very pre
cious, and our manias do not desire for
us to be enticed from the maternal shel
ter until some provision is made for our
future coinfort and ease. A word, there
fore, is sufficient to lot.you know That we
must have positive information as to
your bank axomt, and your general
good temper—no zantippes need apply.
We think it but fair to inform you that
all acceptances made will be on proba
tion and subject to revision or cancella
tion. Our mamas have obtained from
the matrimonial bureau much valuable
information which we publish below for
the benefit of the unsuspecting young
man. We are determined that leap year
contracts shall not be leaps in the dark.
All differ, “but he who knows one wo
man will, by heart, knows all."
1. Standing first on our list is a bru
nette of grace, possessing a willowy fig
ure, and whose movements rival the fai
ries. Her deep blue eyes evidence a
world of tender fueling and her silver
toned voice subdues both in song and
conversation many a stubborn heart.
Now there bows at her feet a gentleman
whose only objection to her is that she
is not Young enough. year’s
privileges she may convince him that
she is„ No black mark required here.
5. A blonde comes next on our list,
with much becoming dignity, which
lends height to its possessor. The pale
pearly pink of ocean shells has been stol
en by her cheek and the merry twinkle of
her eyes gives information of her genial
nature. Quite a favorite with all who
know her. Always look for the gray
horse when trying to catch her.
3. Still another blonde gives trouble.
West Main street’s “silver-haired” is said
to be bound hand and foot by this fair
0
and graceful maiden. Young, bright,
vivacious and charming. She is inde
pendent in manner, and leads her cap
tive with a strong hand. Dame Rumor
savs she is fond of a certain “forbidden
* *
sweet.” Before the year is out a good
bargain will doubtless be made. But
iook out, old boy.
4. Another blonde teaches the young
idea how to shoot, and as the year sanc
tions the act, she may try her hand ou
some of the older boys. Quite charming
in manner, and beautiful in mind, she
has many friends, and she is aching to
eiiange her name.
5. Not a great distance from the last
mentioned resides one of nature’s better
works, whose accomplishments are
many, whose information varied and
correct, and whose person and manner
are graceful and easy. Catch her who
ean. If you are too hasty she will still
be-W are.
(j. Our bureau tells of a brunette, gen
tle, petite, and who is most graceful in
dance. Accomplished in music and art,
she is also bright and witty, loves home
and its surroundings, as is unwilling to
leave them long at a time, Dame Rumor
says she has contracted, but of this noth
ing may come, for many’s the slip twixt
the cup and lip. If she offers accept her
at once, she is faithful in the extreme.
7. In this little brunette we have grace
and wit. May her beauty never fade nor
her shadow grow less. A general favo
rite. She passes many accomplishments.
Dances divinel with a graceful glide step
which you will recognize as she passes.
She excells as a linguist, having achieved
much reputation “parley,vousing frail -
eais.” Is said to be an epicure on bangs.
Quite coquettish in manner, but has not
field enough for operation in this effete
civilization, so thinks of joining a party
going west. An authoress of some note
whose style is like herself, bright, spark
ling, and pleasant to read. Take care,
boys.
8. One whose beauty is hard to de
scribe, neither blonde nor brunette, has
some literary productions in common,
with the authoress above mentioned, and
also “parlezvous.” Hard to catch. If
she bites at your hook be sure and jerk
at the proper moment.
f). Anew name appears on our list, and
already her short blonde locks have
created no- iittle consternation among
our youths. Our verdant and unsus
pecting Aesculapian has laid down his
arms before the battery of her bewitch
ing manner, and needs assistance. Her
pupils are many, but over no one of them
has she such control as this one so “tall
as a god.’ His “military bearing’’ avail,
eth nothing, but being a good listener,
no doubt lie makes a good pupil.
10. In the vicinity a broad palmetto
bends in the breeze. Her gray eyes, with
their steely hardness, show that she top
will do to command her many followers.
Bright tfud entertaining, she pleases all
whom her beauty attracts, and ere the
flowdts bloom again, some of our young
men, will be sadder and wiser. The race
is to the vigilant.
11. Another popular blonde whose art
consists not alone in the use of the brush
and crayon, but whose eyes, with this un
winking gaze into vacancy, also possess
an art which has brought to feet the
hardest of hearts. “Daniel” is in the
lion's den.. Beautiful and intertaiuing,
it goes without saying that she has
improved the chances offered, and may,
not be iu the field. But if she is, more’s
the pity—hearts will be broken,
12. Even now as I write, a bright bru
nette has bound captive an unsuspecting
foreigner. Her example will be imitated
by all of the fair sooner or later. “Time
and tide wait for no man.” Leap year,
the time, has come, and soon the tide
will be upon you. Breast it like a man,
and soon will it pass over. Congratu
late yourselves—there’s one more the less.
13. Under the shade of the broad pal
metto a fragile maiden stands in all her
beauty. Her heart is whole, her fancy
free, but not inclined to Rome. She may
be persuaded to draw Cupid’s bow, and
if she does, we wager she will be
a-Head-in the race. Gentle and kind, we
envy the man who wins her hand.
14. So noble, so stately, so tall; her
charms ever changing, please as they
fall. With step superb, she moves a very
queen ; in spirit, and in form like fair; her
heart all humanity. Such an one, she
possesses critical taste, and hard will it
be for the young man who succeeds iu
winning her favor. She will always pre
serve her dignity, and the lucky man will
sometimes wonder the meaning of the
term subjugated. Who will be the man.
Dame Rumor says his chains are clank
ing even now. May he rest in pea£e.

The portrait in our picture gallery to
day presents to our six thousand readers
the genial, sunny countenance, of the
/ill tZ&SS&tPtdL- -
prince of conductors, Richard R. Hargis,
of the Western and Atlantic railroad.
Dick, as lie is familiarly called, is proba
bly more widely and intimately known
than any man in North Georgia and is
deservedly the most popular conductor
in the borders of the Empire State. To
his employers he is the strict business
man, always on time and prompt as to
every duty. To the traveling public he
is the urbane, gallant, courteous gentle
man, who does not regard the trouble of
giving information or looking after the
interest of his passengers.
Mr. Hargis was born Sept. 9th, 1842?
at Cass Station, Bartow county, of Welch
and Scotch-Irish parentage, near the
spot where now his beautiful and pleas
ant little home is located. His parents
were poor, but by dint of energy and
perseverance lived well, and raised a large
and intelligent family, supplying them
with common comforts and a limited ed
ucation, endowing them especially wit h
energy, integrity, thrift and brawn.
Richard was the fifth child and his tender
years were employed in aiding his moth
er in her various household duties. At
the age of nine years young Hargis was
: trompted and made aid de cain-p to hie
father’s forces on the farm and learned
to plow a straight furrow and hoe a clean
row. One noted characteristic of Dick’s
iife has been to excel in every position he
has filled. This cropped out and was ap
parent even in his early boyhood, and we
;ind him by the time he is cleverly in his
teens intrusted by his father with the
nost important work on the farm.
When he was fourteen years old he lost
his father and the management of the
farm and support of the family devolved
ipon him almost entirely for several
years. At the age of sixteen an irresisti
ble impulse came over him to ride on a
train, to see some of the world, and es
pecially to go to Atlanta, which was, to
iiis youthful imagination, the greatest
city he ever heard of. Up to that time
Dick had never wandered much farther
than the limits of his own immediate
neighborhood and never in all his life had
he seen a larger town than Cassville. To
carry out his design, he went earnestly to
work, after crops were laid bv, in his
brother-in-law’s livery stable to earn the
money to buy a suit of store clothes and
get the necessary fi n!s for the trip. At
last his great ambition was achieved,
and with a five-dollar suit of clothes and
money enough for his ticket and fifty
cents for spending change, he hurried
home to announce to his mother’s .fami
ly that on the morrow lie would go with
his brother-in-law to the big city. That
night the expectations of the trip drove
balmy sleep ftom his eyelids, and he lay
awake talking to his younger brother
of the big trip he was going to take and
the wonderful things he would see in the
great city. At early dawn he was up
and at the railroad, nervously walking
up and down the track, anxiously await
ing the train. At last it came in sight,
greatly to his relief, and as soon as it
stopped, in company with his brother-in
law, lie got aboard, and in due time was
landed at the Atlanta depot. As he
alighted from the train the whole world
seemed presented to him in panoramic
view, aad as he stood gazing in wonder
and awe, totally oblivious of his sur
roundings and the departure of his com
panion he was startled by the cry of
some wag: “Lookout for pickpockets!”
Dick immediately slapped both hands
over his fifty-cent treasure, which was in
his pants pocket, safely incased in his
home-made squirrel-skin purse. From
that moment he kept a sharp lookout
for the slick-handed gentry, who, he felt
satisfied, knew of and coveted his riches.
He spent the day in wandering around
gazing at the sights, keeping ever in
view of the depot, lest he might get lost
amidst the interminable marge of streets.
We simply mention this incident of his
early life to show how limited was his
knowledge of the world and how late in
life he commenced the endowment of
those traits of character which have ex
alted him to the honorable trusts of his
: employers and made him so deservedly
I popular with the traveling public. A

few years after this incident he entered
the Confederate service in the cavalry
brigade commanded by the brave and
gallant Gen. P. M. B. Young, the chiva
lier band of the South, and with his com
mand took an active part in all the cam
paigns of Northern Virginia. He was al
ways the life of the bivouac fires, ever
ready for a frolic, and never took on
more of dull care than he could well shake
off at his heels.
After the war was over he returned
home and commenced his railroad career,
taking up the pick and shovel as a track
hand in May, 1865. At the end of one
month he was made telegraphic line man
and after fully restoring the line was ap
pointed temporary depot agent at Cass
Station, and after a few months entered
the mil road service as a train hand,
which he filled with promptness and cred
it for over two years. He then accepted
the appointment of night yard-master at
Chattanooga. After six months' service
at this work lie became a freight conduc
tor, and at the time of the lease of the
road was exalted to the place of his early
ambition—that of passenger conductor.
For seventeen long years of arduous and
faithful duty he has held the position to
the entire satisfaction of the officers of
the road and to the delight and comfort
of the traveling public. 4
When the president, and Mrs. Cleveland
and the distinguished parties who accom
panied them entered the State en route
to the city of Atlanta and the Piedmont
Exposition, Mr. Hargis was honored by
the lessees with the commission of con
ducting the presidential party over the
Western and Atlantic road and enjoyed
the exalted privilege of dispensing the
courtesies of this great thoroughfare to
the honored guests.
So clear has his conception been of or
ders and-so good has his judgment been
of the railroad schedules, that not a sin
g’e accident has happened to his train in
all the many years of his railroad life,
and it is known far and near that to ride
on Dick Hargis’ train is better than a
life insurance. Outside of his railroad
acquaintance, Dick is socially very popu
lar and numbers his friends by the' score.
His name has been mentioned frequently
•n connection with legislative honors.
Mr Hargis set out in his boyhood days
to make a first-class passenger conduc
tor; to buy the parental farm and sur
round himself with all the attractions
and allurements which constitute a hap
py home. Amid all the arduous duties
of a busy life, he has never lost sight of
the prize, but lias kept the gould of his
aims and ambitions steadily in view ris*
ing step by step, until the whole has been
fully accomplished, and that, too, ere his
manhood has reached its zenith. He has
truly been eminently successful, and we
are glad to present this fine picture and
a sketch of his life, with the hopes that
it may be a stimulant to the exertions of
many young men who desire honorable
preferment in the world. S.

Southern Steel Blooms
In speaking of the Anniston
bloomery, which is successfully turning
out twenty-five tons of semi-steel blooms
per day, the Atlanta Journal says: This
is the first steel made in the southern
mineral region exclusively from the ores
of this section. The blooms arc espe
cially adapted for the imyiufacture of
boiler plate, horse shoes, chains, cables,
car axles, car links, etc.
It is said that this steel is of a quality
suitable for the manufacture of tools.
The owners of the bloomery are in corre
spondence with a number of parties who
desire to use the bloonts, among them a
•Birmingham concern manufacturing
screws, and an Atlanta firm making ag
ricu Itu ral impiemen ts.
This is a practical demonstration that
steel can be successfully manufactured in
the south, and the experiment is one of
great value to Atlanta. If steel blooms
can be made in Anniston they can be
made in Atlanta, for an ore exceedingly
low in phosphorus has been discovered
within six miles of this place in the last
few months. The Cohutta range of
North Georgia also contains ore of this
kind in close proximity to a high grade
of manganese and there is no doubt that
North Georgia will eventually become
