Through the'courtesy of Mr. T. W.
(ilover, the passenger agent, of the Mari
etta and North Georgia railroad, Doug
IVikle andUWere given a ride over that
excellent little road to White Path and
return. The ticket said “on account of
the press,” but Tom Glover told us in
confidence that it was because he thought
lie could pass us off in the mountains of
Northeast Georgia as distinguished vis
itors. His jdea was to put Doug Wikle
in as the Honorable Bard well Slote, the
member from the Koliosh deestrict, and
myself as .ledge Wabash Q. Wexain, of
"Way-back. At any rate we got a free
ride through the prettiest mountain
country in the world, and enjoyed the
trip without limit.
The week was spent principally at
White Path, six miles Northeast of Elli
jay, and a more perfectly charming little
mountain retreat could not be imagined.
TV -scenery is beyond description and
the water is fine. Iron, sulphur, magne
sia and freestone springs are found within
hw than half a mile of the hotel, and
the exhilarating mountain breezes whet
one’s appetite to an extent that taxes
the patience and resources of the hotel
proprietor.
Often and often in the dull hum-drum
of department life in Washington have I
hungered for a breath of fresh air, and
turned iny face yearningly towards my
native hills. On such days as this the
heat of the city is overwhelming. It
comes from above, beneath and around.
1 here is no escape from it and nothing
to do but pant and long for the fresh air
of the country. Many a time have I
leaned over on my desk in the great
wmite building of the Treasury and
thought of the mountains amt valleys
"’here l played as a boy, until 1 was
ulrnoet delirious with thirst for a drink
of spring water, and nearly wild with de
sire to stretch myself full length on the
iteuss alongside some babbling mountain
stream. So when my summer vacation
time caaie and 1 had a month to spend
as 1 pleased, visions of mountains and
cool valleys,'*of clear springs and dancing
streams floated in my mind arid I headed
towards the hills of North-Georgia.
hi to Path gets its name from a Cher
°kee Indian chief who lived there back in
the thirties, and who was said to know
"here gold and silver could be found in
’i'h abundance. That gold did exist
*here has since been fully proven, and the
tHite Path gold mines are regarded by
many as the richest in the State.

hite Path in mind when; writing of
spot where the sunshine falls cheerily
through the grand old boughs, and the
wood-nymphs dance in the chequered
shade;” and John 11. Seals described it
almost perfectly when’he spoke of “a
land whose clear, rippling streams make
joyful music over golden sands and un
told mineral wealth as they hymn their
way to their ocean home.”
My hunger and thirst were theiefore
abundantly satisfied at White Path, and
I will carry back with me to Washington
a picture so gladdening and refreshing
that I can only look upon it and get new
vigor and inspiration.
The member from the Koliosh deestrict
and the dodge from Way back send to Mr.
Glover assurances of their most drstin
tinguished consideration and beg to
thank him for a most delightful trip to

The boys are telling a joke on Charlie
Whitworth, of the sixth district, which
lie vigorously denies. It is repeated here
rather more for the purpose of giving
publicity to Charlie's denial than for the
humor of the joke, as I have it from
Charlie’s own lips that ““it’s a campaign
lie.” They say Ab Baker, Esq., was
making a political speech in the upper end
of the county d*iring the recent Senato
rial race, wherein lee remarked that the
tariff question had been lugged into the
discussion somehow, and that it had no
bearing upon the issues involved in a
Legislative race, and should therefore be
let alone. As for himself he did not
claim to fully understand the tariff, and
doubted if there was a man in the
audience who did. Then glancing over
the crowd it Is related that his eye fell on
the ruddy and responsive face of Charlie
Whitworth, and lie suddenly asked
“Charlie, how do you stand on the tariff?”
The answer came with promptness and
despatch “Pm wet;” followed by one of
Charlei’s regular roof-raising laughs, and
the orator and audience were left in
doubt as to whether Charlie was guying
Ab or whether he regarded his answer as
a happy solution of the tariff question.
As above -stated, I am authorized to
deny this story, as Charlie says he was
not present when Mr. Baker’s speech was
delivered, and judging from the cast of
his countenance &s he said it I conclude
that he must have been at prayer-meet
ing on that particular evening.
They tell another story on Charlie
which comes rather better authenti
cated. Not long since an action of eject
ment was brought against him in the
John Doe form to recover the possession
of certain land. The form of the writ is
long and fictitious, alleging among other
things, the-defendant with force and arms
entered and ejected the said John Doe
from the premises, etc., and a lot of other
stuff that an ordinary man can see no
sense in or reason for.
A copy of the writ was left by the sher
iff at Charlie’s house in his absence.
Upon his return his wife gave it to him
and he read it with growing consterna
tion and indignation. He says it
troubled Trim that night no little, and he
lay awake trying to remember who John
Doe was. Next, day found him in Car
tersville among the lawyers. He came
to J. M. Neel for information and advice.
Said he had been sued for some of his
best land by a man that he had never
seen ami onTv heard of once or twice.
That the fellow was charging that lie
had been run off with a shotgun or other
“force of arms” and that it was a
blamed lie from beginning to end. Neel
“caught on” and sent him to Col. Dab
ney, who happened to be near by. The
Colonel's solemn face wreathed in smiles
as he told Charlie that John Doe was one
of the most lit-igous and troublesome
men in the cowwtrv. Charlie said after
wards that he was obliged to Col, Dabney
for his information, but he saw nothing
in it to laugh about.
Last Monday when Judge Fain was
calling cases to beset he sounded one in
favor of John Doe, ex. deni., etc., vs.
somebody, when Charlie Whitworth, who
was in the court room, is said To have
pricked up his ears and remarked to
Gus Fite, “That’s that same blamed feller
that sued me and told them infernal lies
about me limnin'’ him off his place wridi a
shot gun. Pity but what somebody had
a shot him long ago.”
I may add that l regard this another
campaign lie,, and I nail it, for there is
not a better citizen or more clever man in
Bartow county than Charlie Whitworth,
andffiie lias paid me nothing for saying
so. W. J. N.

EMERSON’S GROWTH.
Another Evidence of Bartow’s
Progress.
Northern Cajutnl Developing Southern
Resources —The Path of Progress
• in Bartow County.
Atlanta Constitution.]
Emerson, Ga., July 20. —Only a few
months ago the citizens of this settlement
were startled with the announcement
that Colonel C. M. Jones, one of the far
mers of this community, had succeeded
in inducing several “northern Yankees'’
to assist in starting anew town at the
station on the Western & Atlantic rail
road. then known as Stegall’s, and that
they further proposed to make it amanu
facturing town, where the raw materials
of the almost numberless variety of min
erals at that point may be manufactured
into articles of use instead of shipping,
as now; in its natural state.
Many were the queries of the people as
to the success of the undertaking, the
mines of the old Bartow works,-Only one
half mile distant, the close proximity to
the county seat, were all suggested -a-s
obstacles in the way, but. To the great*
surprise of many, and especially the ever
present Mr. Doubter and -Mb. Croaker,
the statement began {o take the form
of business by the organization, of the
Tuner son L#nd Company, who proceeded
forthwith to purchase several hundred
acres of land from Uncle Enisl.v Stegall
and his son, *l.l’. Stegall, and Colonel
Jones, lying contiguous to and upon
both sides of the railroad, and, by the
indomitable energy and perseverance of
the general manager of the company, Mr.
G. W. Barber, formerly of Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, they have had a large portion
of their purchase platted into blocks and
lots, and a large hotel building nearly
completed, being three stories with man
sard roof, the architecture 'of which
makes it a. fine, imposing building, which
in appearance will be second to none on
the Western & Atlantic railroad. This
hotel will be ready to accommodate the
traveling public and permanent boarders
by the first of September. This enter
prise was an absolute necessity before
they could invite people to Emerson to
investigate these resources, and to em
bark in any form of manufactory, the
locality being nothing but a farming
community, and, therefore no means at
hand for accommodating the public.
Next came the of the
Georgia Graphite Company, with Colonel
C. M. Jones, president, and Mr. J. I*.
Walker, of Michigan, (formerly a lumber
man and extensive building contractor,
as general manager,) for the purpose of
manufacturing the mountain of almost
pure black lead that exists here; this
company has just put in a saw-mill,
which is operated by water power, on
the company’s property, with which they
will manufacture crates and boxes for
shipping their goods; they have, at the
graphite mine, machinery for grinding
and floating the graphite, operated by
steam, and have put in a stone foundar
tion close to the railroad, upon which
they will soon erect a building for pre
paring, canning and erating for ship
ment the graphite in the numerous forms
in which it can be successfully used, such
as fire-proof paint, foundry work, lubri
cants, etc. They have this week made
their first shipment of graphite, in its
natural state, shipping a carload to
Cincinnati.
This company have Mr. Charles Adams,
of St. Louis, a well-known metallurgist,
continuously employed in experimenting
with, and testing, graphite and other
ores in this locality.
Another industry has beeu established
here, and has been in operation since the
first of May, by Messrs. John Chatlin, of
Indiana, and C. S. Park, of New Jersey,
now well known as the Emerson steam
planing mill with which they have
already established a largeand successful
business.
In addition to Jones & Son’s and E.
Stegall's stores, Mr. Jacob Henry, of
New York, has just completed and filled
with fine family groceries anew store
building, and has already a large and in
creasing trade.
While for want of suitable accommoda
tion for visitors, very little effort has
been made up to this time to induce
strangers to visit Emerson, the compa
nies are now determined to let the world
know of their fine diversity of minerals
and opportunities to establish manufac
tures here. They are now getting out a
prospectus, and will advertise what they
have extensively, for they now feel that*
with their new and commodious hotel of
fifty rooms, with fine accommodations
for at least one hundred strangers,
tliey can treat them as royaHy as any
town in the State.
A fine case of specimens of many of the
ores with which Emerson abounds is
being prepared' by Messrs. E. C. Pierce
and J. B. Bod well to be forwarded to
Mr. W. Glesmier, commissioner of inline-
gration, Arnericus, Ga., to be placed
among the exhibits that will make up
the special car of “Georgia on Wheels,”
which is to show the North a few of the
many wonderful products and resources
with winch Georgia abounds.
The future of Emerson is as bright and
promising as any town in Georgia, and
from this time forth you may expect to
hear other as one of Georgia’s most pro
gressive young cities. There is such a
large diversity of mineral resources, in
the immediate center of which Emerson
is located, that no power on earth can
prevent her going forward, but the rap
idity of course lies with her producers,
the energy and zeal with which they shall
push the knowledge of her wonderful re
sou rues before the world, will make' her
advance either slowly or rapidly. A

F®e<ling Hotfs for Fat or Lean,
American Agriculturist for July ]
The experiments conducted by Prof.
W. A. Henry, at the Wisconsin - Agricul
tural Experiment Station, last year, in
feeding hogs, have excited much interest.
The character of the growth was found
to be largely influenced by that of food.
Regarding these experiments* Prof. Henry
writes te us: “I am repeating the expe
.ffmynt £n different forms, and have con
firmatory evidence that the composition
of the bc?By of the hog can be v§ry con
siderably affected by the kind of food
given. Do not try to show in the Ameri
can Agricultural that we can produce
carcasses fat and lean at .will
table, because the modifications by.feed-.
-ing have in reality.- a rather narrow;
range. If we can modify the form s light- -
lv in one generation by the way of f<?ed,.
it is natural to conclude that in a few
generations we- can, very materially affect.
the form and constitution of an animal
by proper or improper feeding. The hog
being a greedy animal and easily satis
fied when enough food is supplied, lias
been greatly abused, especially here at
the West, in the great com district. The
sermon I wished preached from the fextc
I have giVen is one in breeding rather
than producing lean meat as against tat
for the table, though we certainly £an
increase the lean fry proper feeding to a
degree worthy of consideration, and its
flavor is also capable of being improved. •
Witness the Irish and Southern bacon in
comparison with that of Illinois.”

The Professional*,
Nashville- •
Why are many people in the United
States tiecoming more and more doubt
ful of the success of republican govern
ment? In asking this question we are
assuming what we think everybody will
admit, and, admitting it, should put all
to thinking.
Why is it? The truth told without
coloring will be the best answer.
The country is full of professional poli
ticians—and business people have con
sented for the professional polfticaus to
direct and control public affairs. We
say consented. It is true most of the
business men in important elections go
to the polls and vote. But here they
have no choice of men; they have only a
choice of parties. Why is this? Because
the bringing out of candidates, as a rule
—is given up to the professional politi
cians in both parties.
This is a people's government, and if it
last the people must take some interest
in bringing out the candidates as well as
voting for them.
With these professionals there is but
one sin that is never forgiven, and that
is an independent thought or utterance.
The man who does this has a thousand
little fellows with blowguns and popguns
shooting at him from every briar patch.

A large crowd gathered at the court
house last Monday morning to hear a
speech from Hon. I. E. Shumate, of Dal

His speech was pronounced a°good
one, even by some who favor other can

from time to time as he made telling
points, and at the conclusion was hearti
ly'congratulated by many friends. Ho
is a scholarly, polished gentleman—
thoroughly current politics—
and an orator of no mean ability.
Mr. Shumate devoted but little time to
the tariff, but clearly defined his own
position, which is in accord-with the ad
vocates of the Mills bill.
He dwelt mainly upon the Congress
ional race—sifting the claims of the
various candidates, and especially those
of Mr. Clements.
If sent to Congress, Mr. Shumate would
ably and creditably represent the Seventh

The speech was well received and made
a good impresssion.
