It 4s perfectly well understood, but Editor Perham hastens to anticipate the Atlanta papers, and slate that the lady who will run for congress in Cali fornia, once stayed all night in Atlanta. In the McLendon matter one aged senator voiced an ancient, but perti nent and regrettable truth when he cried, “What is the use of talking to people who have already made up their minds?” Sunday School Superintendent—“ E lsie, can you tell me anything about the epistles?” Little Elsie—“l guess they vt ere the wives of the apostles.” Which sounds reasonable, yet they were really the offspring of the only incorrigible old bachelor in the lot. '1 he Macon News takes a very dis torted view of conditions when it tries to make out that McLendon's fall is any Joe Brown funeral. The Brown ites may have laid a few wreaths on Guyt'n coffin, but that was merely from their natural goodness of heart and comparison for a corpse deserted by its friends. “Col. Watterson is not the only ob server who predicts that the tariff question will yet split the Republican party. The noise of the splitting may be heard even now,” says the Phila delphia Times But the blamed thing is just like a jointed snake the split off parts will all crawl together again before next election day,” says the Jacksonville I’imes- inion. To those of our esteemed contempo raries whom Mr. McLendon's fall lias excited to a mid-summer madness, we would extend the thoughts that prob ably Georgia will survive, the port rate war will still be carried on by the attorney of the Atlanta freight bureau, street railway l>onds will continue to find casual purchasers and there will befall no lack of candidates for the office of railroad commissioner, the job having been made less uncertain and precarious by recent legislation. GEORGIA'S GOLD. Dm work of E. I’. Jones, assistant State geologist, on “Gold Deposits in Georgia,” which i- ju-t published by the State geological department, is a valuable contribution to the people of our great commonwealth, as well as to the outside world, whose interest in gold can scarcely lie considered as one secondary to any other. The book is a comprehensive discussion of the gold deposit' . f the entire State, and is ottered as the introductory chapter says, “a contribution to the economic geology of Georgia with the aim of furnishing to interested parties com prehensive, and as far as possible, de finite idea.' of the Sta e’s gold depos it' and their minting possibilities.” Whih that part of the general sub ject, which bear' upon it- economic importance, i- tin tir-t consideration of the work, there is much interest and iiistru<-lion in the scientific aspect of tin origin ;f the deoo-its .m-t their study and chemical analysis of the rocks of gold tearing areas. The author is strongly convinced that the gold deposits in Georgia are not appreciated a- they should lie, and thinks that the attention of capitalists and mining men will in time surely come to a fuiier realization of their important e. Mr. Jones’ interesting book can scarcely fail to stimulate a new inter est in thisbrancnof the State’s wealth and industry, and certainly it would seem that Georgia’s gold deposits should Ire made to produce a va-t amount of wealth that is now over looked. ?.t one time the Stale of Georgia was considered one of the greatest gold producing States in the country, but in the furore, which the opening up of the gold Hehls of California and the West, attention wasdiverted from Georgia and her mining interests abandoned for the more abundant, easily worked and promising deposits. Following ujKin the discovery of Cal ifornia gold and the rush westward for this industry, came the civil war and the consequent demoralization of business in Southern States for along period of years. With the return of business development the revival of gold mining interests came atsiut only to a limited extent, and under condi tions that tended to discourage and discount the real value of Georgia gold deposits. Mr. Jones tells us that it is the opinion of mining engineers, familiar with the Georgia fields, that, if the deposits of a similar character existed in any of the more important gold producing States of the West, that they would have been much more extensively exploited. With abund ant water —and in many eases abun dant water power available, with 1 plentiful timber for construction pur pose's ami also cheap fuel, with a pio pitious and kindly climate and with ailway facilities close to the gold producing districts, the author see bright promise of an awakening to our opportunities ami a rich devel opment. A very valuable feature of the book is an elaborate report, giving a lull showing of the various gold yielding areas of the State. The report is one which is deeply interesting ami well worth cartful study and consideration. Copies of tin* report may lie had upon applica tion to Professor S. N. McCallie, State Geoologist, Atlanta. West PiHe PicKings. West Pike, Ga., Aug. 4.—J. B. Felt man spent several days last week with his brother, James Feltman, in Fay ette county.

The increase of the road force and the increase in taxes seems to do the country districts no good; neither do entreaties to the au thories avail anything in the way oi relief. The mail routes are hardly pas sable. Months ago the attention of the commissioners was called to the fact Is there not a remedy ? If so, we want it and want it without any further de lay. Your correspondent has traveled over 1,200 miles in the past seven months and Akins district has the, worst roads of any in the four States in which we have been, with all of our(, improvements and expenses. If we are not to have roads equal toother sections, pay the district back their money and we will put our roads in order at once. The above is the senti ment of many citizens. J. C.
