Wonderful indeed are the re
sources of Georgia, and right worth
ily does she bear the title, "The
Empire State of the South.” With
her nills teeming with hidden treas
ures of gold, iron, coal, and other
valuable minerals; her forests full
of virgin pines, that furnish the best
timber known for building pur
poses; her fertile valleys and well
cultivated hillsides bearing cropB of
golden corn, snowy cotton, wheat,
oats, potatoes, peas and nearly all
other products known to man; her
eities with their mills, workshops
and factories and the many other
advantages which she possesses in
the way of climate, water and citi
zenship, she might fitly be called
nature's storehouse, for within her
borders can be raised almost any
thing known to man.
A GEORGIA OLIVE GROVE.
Few people are there in the State,
though, who know that within her
confines there is a commercial olive
grove. But such is the fact, and
that grove is situated right here in
(flynn county.
A Times reporter met Mr. W. R
Slindman, of St. Simon’s, qn the
street yesterday and greeted him
with, “how is that olive grove
“Oh, booming,” was the reply.
"I have here a twig off" of one of my
trees, which I brought for you to
look at. What do you think of
those for Georgia raised?”
“They are as fine as one need
want to see,” answered the reporter
as Mr. Shadman handed him the
twig, which was about eight inches
long and contained sixteen large,
well formed, bright colored, half-
grown olive, which had every ap
pearance of having grown ’neath
Italy’s skies.
“How many of these trees have
you?”
“About three acres, and the trees
•re just loaded down with them. I
will gather an immense crop of them
this year. There are not many peo
ple in Georgia, comparatively
•peaking, who know that there is
an olive grove in the State. My
grove is the only commercial one
east of the Rocky mountains. There
•re one or two groves in California,
tat the finest they bear will com-
pare in no way with those raised
tare. Mine are much larger and
tatter.”
“What do you do with the olives
you raise?”
“Pickle some of them, but make
the larger portion of them into oil.
I have on my place now a quantity
of the oil that is as nice andclearas
can be made anywhere.”
COMPARED WITH COTTON.
“How does olive growing compare
with cotton raising, from a pecuni
ary standpoint?”
“You can make no comparison,
there is so much more profit in the
olives. Why, I make 250 gallons of
it every year. That readily sells on
an average 1 of $5 a gallon, or the
total output for $1,250. That is all
dear profit, too, for I sell enough to
pay all expenses. What three acres
can you put in cotton and make it
produce a yield of *1,250 clear
money? Yes, sir, I find a market
for all my oil and pickles.”
“Is the soil here adapted to olive
culture?”
“I should say it was. There is
none in the world more adapted to
M. Borne of the trees on my place
•re eighteen inches in diameter.
Bat there is the fruit to show for
itself. Look at that twig you have
in your hand and you won’t need to
ask that question. My trees are set
out about thirty feet apart, and it
requires no more work to cultivate
them than one ought to give to a
peach or pear tree.”
ANYTHING GROWS IN GEORGIA.
“OllveB do well in Georgia or,
rather, Glynn county, then ?”
“Yes, sir! But as for that any
thing will do well here. I have on
my place all the fruits commonly
grown in the State as well as many
of those common in other countries,
such as dates, oranges and pecans.
My crop of pecans will be good this
The treesarejust loaded
year also,
down with fruit.
By-the-way, jie-
can culture is going to be a big
dustry In Georgia, before many
years. Just mark my words.”
"How about dates ?” .
“They do nicely, too. I haven’t
but one tree now. That awful cold
spell which we had about five years
ago killed all the trees but one.
That is enough to propagate from,
however, and in a f^w years I will
have a grove of these trees also. I
could tell you more, but must catch
the boat. C'ouie over and see me
some time and I will show you
over my place.”
With this Mr. Shadman was gone
and the reporter was left to think
of what can be done iu Georgia,
anyhow.
A great scarcity of colored labor
exists at present in Columbus. On
account of the numerous industries
in the city, laborers are hard to ob
tain. There is also a grout scarcity
of house servants ami cooks. Suit
able white labor is also bard to be
obtained, am! from 200 to ::00 more
hands could get employment in the
different city mills just now. Me
chanics, bricklayers, etc., are also
very scarce.
! years she withstood
tests, but her vital organs were un
dermined and death seemed imrni-
. neut. For three months she coughed
incessantly and could not sleep.
She bought of us a bottle of Dr.
King's New Discovery for Con
sumption ami was so much relieved
on taking first dose that site slept
all night and with one bottle has
been miracuously cured. Her name

The Chalybeate springs, a very
valuable property not far from Co
lumbus, on the Georgia Midland
road, have been disposed of to a gen
tleman named Grant from Ohio.
About six or eight years ago these
springs were the favorite resort in
the summer months, and as many as
500 visitors would be there at one
time. They were then run by
Thompson & Alien, who mortgaged
the property to George Comer, of
Savannah. Subsequently the mort
gage was foreclosed, and the prop
erty came into the hands of Mr.
Comer. He did not run the springs
after the foreclosure, and the conse
quence was that they were closed
up. The hotel and bath houses are
in a state of dilapidation just now,
However, Mr. Grant, the new
owner, proposes to put the premises
in a state of thorough repair during
the fall, and to open the springs up
in first-class shape next spring. He
formerly lived there, and he in
tends to spend $50,000 on improve
ments,

W. D. Suit, Druggist, Bippus,
Ind., testifies: “lean recommend
Electric Bitters as the very best
remedy. Every bottle sold has
given relief in every case. One man
took six bottles, and was cured of
Rheumatism of ten years standing.”
Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellville,
Ohio, affirms: “The best selling
medicine I have ever handled in
my 20 years’ experience, is Electric
Bitters.” Thousands of others have
added their testimony, so that the
verdict is unanimous that Electric
Bitters do cure all diseases of the
Liver, Kidneys or Blood. Only a

Vason M. Barrett, of Atlanta, ha,
patented a new stove. A factory for
Its manufacture is to be built at
once. The Barrett stove reserves
the principle by which the old-
fashioned stove did its work. The
fire is placed at the back and near
where the stove-pipe is located. The
draught and heat has to pass entire
ly around the stove before it reaches
the flue. The soot is consumed by
the fire, and there is no clogging.
In appearance the stove resembles
one of the ordinary kind with the
pipe fitted on the wrong end. All
the stove dealers In the city have
seen the Barrett stove, and they all
pronounce it the best they have ever
seen.
