VIEWING THE SOUTH.
Two Baltimore Capitalists Looking; After
Bartow County Minerals.
Messrs. 0. S. and R. H. Norris, of Bal
timore, faave been in the city agaii) this
week, after having visited Anniston,
Birmingham, Rome and other points.
These gentlemen were former proprie
tors of the celebrated Crimora mines,
and from all indications they are seek
ing a southern location.
Meeting with Mr. R. H. Norris, a re
porter of the Courant-American in
quired: “How are you pleased with
your visit south?
“Splendidly,” replied Mr.Norris. “You
have a great country here and all you
need is money to develop it. I think
Birmingham is a grand town, and from
my visit there I am pleased to think that
from all I have read of it nothing has
been overdrawn. Anniston and Rome
are also enterprising places and are
likely to become comfortably sized
cities.”
“What do you think of the minerals
of this county.?”
“You have both iron and manganese
in abundance. I do not tlfink the finest
quality of tie latter that you have here
has as yet been unearthed. It would re
quire a large expenditure of money to
do this.”
“What do you think of this place as a
location of furnaces?”
“I think it would be a splendid place
for a furnace, aud as I said just now you
need capital here to start iron works of
various kinds. But it will come. It is
bound to do so sooner or later.”
“Are you thinking of making any in
vestments here.”
A smile stole over the handsome face
of Mr. Norris as he replied: “I thought
that would be your next question. I
regret very much to say that I cannot
inform you about that just now.”
“But,” persisted the reporter, “if you
do decide to invest in mineral lands here
would it be with the view of erecting a
spiegel furnace as I have been informed
were your intentions?”
Another smile, as he replied: ‘T am
not prepared to answer that, either.
We would not do so immediately at any
rate.”
Not being able to get any definite in
formation from Mr. Norris, the reporter
withdrew. He, like all shrewd business
men, preferred not to give any publicity
to his business, but we are confident that
his visit here will result to great good
for our city and county. The Messrs.
Norris are gentlemen of large capital
and should they decide on Cartersville
as a location it would be the means of
putting the town on a great boom.

The London Theater Company
The London Theater Company arrived
in the city yesterday morning, and short
ly thereafter the air was resonant with
melodious strains of music from the com
pany’s band, one of the finest that has
appeared in Gainesville for some time.
Foggs Ferry,” the popular comedy pre
sented by this company last night, is one
of national reputation, and is considered
one of the best modern comedies now
played on the American stage. Mr. W.
F. Kempshall, as “Daddy Fogg,” is an
overwhelming success, as he fully brings
out all there is in that character. He is
a comedian of no mean attainments.
All of Mr. Kempshall’s support was good,
there not being a “weak stick” in the en
tire company, but special mention is due
Miss Marion Fidler in her impersonation
of “Chip, the Ferry Waif.” The young
lady possesses that combination of tal
ent and appearance that is invariably
found in the make-up of first-class act
resses. While the audience last night
was not so large as the entertainment
deserved, all present were more than
pleased with what they saw and heard.

In Far r of Reforming the Lawyer*.
Chief Judge McSherry believes in re
forming the law, or, in better English, to
reform the lawyers. It is a well-known
fact that justice is very tardy sometimes,
brought about wholly by the lawyers in
the case, who, as a rule, are only interest
ed in the proceedings to the amount of
their fees. Cases are often delayed and
postponed, and the situation becomes
very exasperating to the court. There
are several hundred cases on the docket
unsettled for which no logical excuse can
be offered. Judge McSherry realizes this,
and has already instituted some reforms.
A prominent lawyer remarked yesterday
that the court was running over the bar
rough-shod. It is understood the court
will soon adopt a system of calling a
certain number of cases for each day,
and which must be attended to within
that timo. The sooner a change is mode
the better it will be for everybody, and it
will have a good effect upen the public
generally, and public opinion is at least
worth recognizing.—Frederickburg (Md.)
Times.

SHE IS NOT DEAD.
Romance, Tragedy, Comedy.
Canton Advance.]
The Advance this week adds another
chapter, the comedy act, to the history
of Wm. Smith Dimsdale, of Ball Ground,
Georgia.
It will be remembered by the readers
of the Advance that only a few months
ago the wife of Wm. Smith Dimsdale
runaway with one Andrew Harper, leav
ing her husband and two little children,
and that a few weeks afterwards Mr.
Dimsdale received a letter from Culber
son, N. C., signed by J. W. Harris, stat
ing that a man by the name of Harper
came to his house a few days previous
to the date of his letter with a woman
who was quite sick, and that, after get
ting his permission to leave her with him
he started out in search of a doctor, but
never returned. The woman grew' worse
and died. While on her death bed she
confessed that she was a ruined woman,
as she had forsaken her husband (Wm.
Smith Dimsdale) and little childrenmear
Ball Ground and runaway with this man
Harper.
On receipt of this letter Mr. Dimsdale
thought his troubles at an end and so
had the proceedings for divorce, which he
had filed after his wife left him, stopped.
Then he began paying court to a Miss
Sarah Holcomb, which culminated in a
happy marriage shortly afterwards, and
up to last Friday night had been living
happily with his new* wife, having dis
missed all the unpleasant thoughts in
connection with his former unfaithful
and truant wife.
On last Friday night wife No. 1 walked
into the presence of Mr. Dimsdale and
family, and for awhile he was completely
overcome, not knowing what meant the
spirit of his deceased wife there, and
it was not until she said, “It is I; be not
afraid,” that he could fully realize that
she was not dead but alive. On the one
side sat his young and beautiful wife
whom he had sworn to love and cherish
only a few weeks ago, while on the other
side was the wife of his youth, who had
deserted him and their children and who
bethought was dead. He was all broken
np, and knew not what to do, and is in
that dilemma yet. He thinks of giving
wife No. 2 back to her parants and cling
ing to wife No. I—until he can procure a
divorce. But this way out of the trouble
can hardly be recognized by the law.
The letter was a fraud, his thought-to
be-dead wife is alive, and Mr. Dimsdale
is in a bad predicament, with a probable
case in court to defend, and having two
wives to love, cherish and obey.
