GRIFFIN GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, M VRCH ^ 1888
INSECT GEM HUNTERS.
Garnets and Other Precious Stones
llronglit to the Surface by Ants.
"There is the original garnet mine, and
die miner as well, ” said my companion,
of is we New were riding among the mountains
Mexico.
Following the direction of his glance I
saw a tall, well formed Navajo Indian
standing motionless by what appeared to
be a small sand heap. Wishing to inves¬
tigate we drew nearer and found that
die statesque native was watching oho S,
the many ant hills that dot the country
through New Mexico and Arizona as
well.
As wo approached he hardly looked
jp, appearing indifferent after the fash¬
ion of his race, and his object was still
m enigma, at least to me. The Navajo
tribe had never produced a naturalist,
Slid it was hardly possible that lio had
been studying the habits of the actiye in¬
sects. Perhaps be was trying to collect
?nough for dinner—Indians have been
known to eat rats.
But the Indian was, after all, a close
observer, and was reaping his reward,
’or when I asked him what he was doing
ae held out a small bag, the contents of
which I turned upon my hand—garnets,
small but good, in great numbers, bits of
juaytz that gleamed like diamonds, hero
t bit of turquoise, large quantities of oli¬
vine, and a single gem, an emerald, of
but little value, but an emerald after all.
An ant hill was a curious place from
which to take such a strange assortment,
but, as my friend had suggested, this
was tho original mine, and the real
miners were the ants. In piling up their
dome like houses they brought out the
minute gems one by one and placed them
among the bits of sand, where they
gleamed and flashed as if inviting col¬
lection.
The Indians had discovered their value,
and in this way did their mining, allow¬
ing the ants to do all the work and tak¬
ing the gems as fast as they were brought
up. The stones found in this way range
in size from the head of a pin to a largG
pea. and, besides the ones mentioned,
rubies have been taken from the heaps.
These stolen gems are sold in lots and
used in various kinds of jewelry. Nearly
every ant hill is examined in this way
and the mound gone over, often the ants
being watched and the gems taken from
them as soon as brought up.
Whether the little insects have a liking
for glistening objects it is difficult to de¬
termine, but, from the fact that so many
gems are brought to the surface, there
would seem to bo reason to suppose they
had. It would be extremely difficult to
name an industry followed by man that
did not have its prototype in the lower
animal kingdom. Our humble friends
have their trades, their seeming arts and
sciences, just as we have. Ilenco, we
need not be surprised if we find miners
whose work compares favorably with
that of human beings.
In an ant family that I have been
watching for some time, well up in tho
Sierra Madre mountains, southern Cali¬
fornia, the work is carried on in a very
methodical manner, the workers appar¬
ently being protected by soldier ants,
with huge heads and powerful jaws.
For some time I watched these miners
at work, noticing the regularity with
which each ant seemed to deposit its
load in tho same spot, and finally 1
allowed the sun to pass through my
hand glass and form a bright spot at tho
entrance of the mine. A worker soon
passed under it, and, feeling the fierce
heat, evidently rushed below with tho
news, for almost immediately out fame a
horde of big jawed fighters, who darted
about, biting at tho sun spot, and show¬
ing by their actions that they had deter¬
mined to attack the foe, whatever it was,
and when I placed my magnifying glass
upon the ground they rushed at it in
great fury, fastening their jaws upon tho
silver case and refusing to bo torn away
—oven parting with their heads, that re¬
mained for a long time clinging to tlio
glass.—Golden Days.

MR. CARLISLE'S VIEWS.
He Says the Mills Tariff Bill Is a Very
Conservative Measure.
Wichita, Kas , March 6.— Hon.
John Q. Carlisle, who is the city at
tending the bedside of his sick son,
said today • “The Mills Tariff Bill is
a very conservative measure and
ought to be passed. The financial
and industrial situation would have
justified a much more radical meas
ure, but there are always so many dif
Terences of opinion about details
that it is impossible to do exactly
what ought to be done. This bill
has been prepared with great care
and I know that it has been the pur
pose of its framers to deal fairly and
liberally with any interest affected
by it. There has been no feeling of
hostility to the capital or labor t m
plover in manufacturing industries,
and the bill, if passed, will not hurt
them Wool, flax, hemp, jute, dv*
stnfls and many other raw materials
are placed upon the free list, and this
will largely reduce the the cost of
production, without reducing the
wages of labor. Tho consumer will
thus he enabled to get cheaper
goods, while the manufacturer will
realize ample profit and the laborer,
will coni!nue to receive the same or
higher wages. I think tho bill
will pass substantially as reported.
If it be defeated tbe Democratic par
ty will appeal to the people on this
question at the next election and r
a Congress will be chosen that will
reduce tbe revenue much more than
is now proposed..'*

A Town That Docs Not Propose to Get
Left by the Procession.
Milner, Ga., March 6.—I see a
notice in your valuable paper from
our adjoining towns, and will try in a
brief way to give a sketch of our
town and country. We have ten
business houseses here, five of which
sell largely on time. We also have
one of the best schools in this section,
Prof Beck, of Jackson, principal
and Misses Mattie Tyus and Mildred
Steed assistants. Mrs. Laura Hunt
has charge of the music department.

Methodist and Baptist; two black
smith and repair shops, one furniture
store, one good livery stable and will
have another in the near future. We
have only one lawyer, Col. S. .J. Hale;
three practicing physicians. You
need not judge from the number of
doctors that our town is unhealthy,
for we have good freestone water,
and everybody is in good health,
Tbe sun is shining beautifully this
morning and tbe (own is full of w»

SOME GOOD POITSS.
About the Georgia Midland k
Railroad*
The fotiowing suggestive articles
appeared in yesterday‘s Columbus
Enquirer Son;
GOOD I'OK A 6 TAUTER•
•Since the drop of the Georgia
Midland—the $2.90 drop from
Atlanta to Colnmbua—the camion
ball train has begun to shoot pas,
sengers to Columbus at the same
rate. The distance from Atlanta to
Columbus via the Georgia Midland
is 120 miles, and 138 via the Atlanta
and West Point. Local stations *n
the Georgia Midland aro very few
and far between, and Atlanta is the
only competing point. It is very
kind of th* railroad to cut under the
commission in this way. The people
like it nnd the commission will catch
np.—[Constitution.
The above shows the Midland is
getting fairly well advertised. Just
as a matter of education to tbe writ
erof the article, we would suggest,
however, that probably no road of
its length in tho south has more
stations or post offices than the
Midland. Tho railroad is only ninety
eighty miles long and has eighteen
post offices along its hoe, besides
which there are two regular stop
ping places; or stations. For u year
old road, a post office to every five
miles is a good ‘.‘starter.* 1
i
FAR REACHING IN ITS EFFECTS.
Probably no portion of or r popula
tion are as quick to “catch on” as the
commercial travele”. They watch
anything touching their own or the
public’s interest very closely. Said
one of them l ist night to an Enquir
er-Sun reporter;
“This late reduction by the Geor
gia Midland has saved our fraternity
a good square sum.”
“You mean in rates between heie
and Atlanta?”
“Ob, no! Moro than that. The
Atlanta and West Point railroad met
the rate, you know, aud put in a $2,
90 rate to Columbus. That, of
Course, means to Opelika, too. So
that again means to Montgomery,
Selma, New Orleans, Texas and
scores of points south and west of
Atlanta. Yes, sir; ail a passenger
has to do now is to get his ticket t®
Opelika and buy bis ticket there if
he gees beyond. Railroads know
this, so through tickets are made up
with the reductson. It is a saving of
about forty-five cents to Opelika and
south of Atlanta to me. I feel like
pattingtbe Midland on the back.”
So it seems somebody is making
money by this move, even if the rail
roads do not.

W. CLARK & SON
(onsln Dixie Explajns to I’onsl* Vin¬
cent,
Haralson, Ga., March 6.— In my
communication of Feb. 11th I aaid
“Senoia aught to he denominated
the jug town,” io. It seems that
Cousin Vincent, of the Herald and Ad
vcrliser, is offended. Now, Cousin
Vincent, there was no offence intend
ed. Far be it from me to attempt
to pull down my own town, much less
cast a “s-l-u-r” at it. A fellow I
considered a gentleman told me
about the daily jug business, and his
breath smelt that way while ha was
telling it to me. As fop personal
knowledge, 1 have none. Tbe last
drink of intoxicants that I ever took
in Senn : s was at John Perkins’ front
door ol lu# bar, Jan. 12th. 1880, one
glass of stale lager beer. Said fellow*
my informant, lives inside of Senoia
and the way he talked, was well ac
quainted with occurrences in the
town. I have also been accused of
“slurring” Senoia “when I knew bet
ter,” 1 would say to said accuser
that I have more kin-people in Se
noia than he, and l respect and love
thorn too well to “slur” them or their
town. 1 would simply ask my good
friend (for ho is my friend indeed)
Cousin Vincent, do you examine
every goods box marked freight that
leaves Senoia depot for Grffin? I
again repeat, my friend Cousin Vin
cent, that 1 am truly sorry it 1 have
offended you or other staunch friends
I herein make every apology
ry, and long to see tho day when
every prohibition town will indeed
prohibit, as by popular vote you have
decreed it. By the law in your grasp
enlorce it. Will the Herald and Ad
vertiser, Ncwnan, Ga., please copy
the above and thereby confer a favor
upon Cousin Dixie,

MoDroe superior court has been in
session since Monday last, Judge
Boyuton presiding. The
docket will be taken np today. There
are three murder cases to be dispos
ed of—two whito men tob® tried and
one uegio, John Simmons, to be re
sentenced. John was convicted,
abont a year ago, of killing a “broth
er in black.” His case was carried
to tbe supreme court, and the decis
ion cf the superior court affirmed.
J ck Goiis is charged with killing
his msirion thcpablic highway,and
Rb Jy Godard with riding up to a
negro's house, calling him out, and
shooiing him in a short time after.
The latter is a rather peculiar case in
some respects. Godard seems to have
a decided aversion to sleeping be

willing to Furiender himself and be
tried itt once. Up to this be has
