Through the'courtesy of Mr. T. W.

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.

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 mountains. * * 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.

GA., THURSDAY, JULY 2(>, IBSS. 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.

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.” Our Nw Enterprises. _ The outlook for the furnace and steel plant is very favorable, in fact, it is about settled, except as to minor details.

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.

I eg Broken East Monday hist before jjobn as Mr. .4* * 7 Abrams, a young man from Seney, and ’Mr. Abernathy, of" Stock Creek, were leaving town, when about a mile out on fl:.e river road, tlie horse they were driv ing—a Canadian pony—at being touched ‘with’ the whip, started oii a violent run, and Mr. Alframs, who held the reins, was unable'to'gbv ; e/-n him. ' The horse kicked Uf sHcli a lively rate that the vehicle, a \shiair road cart, was tilted and turned -the occupants out- Mr. Abernathy fell -out behind and was only slightly bruised, but Mr. Abrams tailing so that his foot .was held between the step and shaft, the weight of Ins body caused afracture # of the legj both bones being.broken below t-he knee. Mr. Abrams while in his peril ous and inextricable position, with ex traordinary will and wonderful presence of mind, . caught a herculean grip with his hand as a brake 011 the wheel and held it for several hundred yards until the horse stopped. He. was brought to the Bartow House and the injured mem ber dresser! and properly cared foi by ItOctors Johnson and Young, HOii. T. K. Shumate. A large crowd gathered at the court house last Monday morning to hear a speech from Hon. I. E. Shumate, of Dal ton, who is a candidate for the Demo cratic nomination for Congress. His speech was pronounced a°good one, even by some who favor other can didates. He was freely applauded 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 or any other district. The speech was well received and made a good impresssion.

Smith, the married sewing machine agent who was arrested in com pany with a young woman of indifferent morals at Taylorsville, about a month ago, must go and wear, the stripes, ac cording to .the decision of the court and jury before which his case was tried last week. Smith and the woman have been in the Cartersville jail since their arrest, being Unable to get bait. Smith's case was tried first, and offer ing little or no defense and the proof be ing direct, his conviction for the offense of adultery and fornication was quickly brought about after the jury retired. He was sentenced to two years service in the penitentiary. The woman, Sallie Nix, was acquitted. This being a singular result after Smith’s conviction, the idea prevails that upon patFiy played its part before the juror’s minds. Farmers’ Alliance. Mr. I. J.
