Some of the richest land known
lies within the boundaries of Pick¬

which will soon be a source of pride
to the South, and another is now
being built that will run near
Jasper. Our climate is such that
if the proper inducements were
given, this beautiful little town
would draw Northern visitors dur¬
ing winter and hundreds of the low
country people in summer. Then
the unlimited quantities of marble,
as well as valuable minerals and
variety of the best of timbers add
millions of dollars of undeveloped
wealth to our people, needing only

“A gentleman who has just re¬

extensive examination of the mines,
says that in the near future Geor¬

producing states."
Hon. H. W. J. Ham, Washing¬

blustering around in Georgia by

them up to public derision. It
need not be expected that he will
do this in any ruffianly way, for he
is a most polished and scholarly
gentleman, and wields n rapier
rather than a club! but he will
make such a plain, clean and clear
cut showing the difference he-
tween a burdensome tax laid upon
the necessaries of life, and an c.v*
cise tax laid on those things with-
out which everybody would be bet-

(■EORdlA’H MARBLE RENOLJUE.M.
“In Pickens county, about 60
miles from Atlanta and 40 miles
from the picturesque little village
of Marietta, is one of the wildest,
richest and most beautiful stretch¬
es of county in the whole world,
and it might truthfully be termed
“the uncultivated but choice spot
of the South.” There is a lovely
valley, about 6 miles in length, and
the hills and mountains, some 400
feet high, rising, as it were, above
the very clouds on every side, im¬
press one with the solemn grand¬
eur and sublimity of scenery that
are to be equalled only in the real¬
ization of an artist’s most glorious
conception. But these lovely
views and scenes are not the only
treasures of glorious old Pickens,
with its lofty mountains and fertile
valleys rich in treasure, which tne
fortunate possessors even are una¬
ble to fathom the extent and value
of. Near the beautiful little mo»h-
tain town of Jasper, said to be the
loveliest of all Georgia’s
mountain villages, there are vast
deposits to be found both in strati¬
fied layers and solid masses of ev-
ery variety of marble known.
You will see winding through this
valley clear streams bubbling
through beds of all kinds of mar¬
ble, and in one place a stream cuts
its way about a mile through a sol¬
id mass of white marble as smooth
as glass. The quantity seems to
be inexhaustible, and the quality
varies from the finest white to
coarser and all the colored varie¬
ties. These quarries are The At¬
lanta Marble Company, which has
an authorized capital of $200,000;
Mr. Jas. P. Harrison is general
manager. Their property is about
a mile and a half from main rail-
road, and consists of about i.cxx)
acres of land, upon which are lo¬
cated its quarries, mills, machinery
tor quarrying and working the
stone, permanant improvements,
etc. The marble being quarried is
fine pure white carbonized variety,
equal in color quality ami quantity
to any marble deposit found any.
where. Persons who have visil^l the
marble deposit s Of Ver¬
mont (which have for so
long a time had a monopoly in
American marble and from which
large fortunes have been amassed)
say that this deposit will readily
take its place in the front rank as
the superior of any from that sec¬
tion. In the investigation before
the general assembly it Was shown
that an Italian marble shaft of the
finest quality, erected to Charles
J. McDonald, 40 years ago, shows
more moss and discoloration than
one put there at the same time to
Mr. Hamlin Smith of Georgia
marble. This marble is said to
possess a hardness which, while it
is more difficult to cut, is more val¬
uable, as it has not that softness
and tendency to wear when ex¬
posed to friction or atmosphere
influences that Vermont and even
some foreign marble possesses.”
The above article was published
nearly two years ago as special
correspondence to the Manufact¬
urers’ Record. Other companies
than the olte mentioned are now
actively engaged in developing the
wonderful resources of this county.

Is it right for 60,000,000 people
to pay a tribute of $9.50 (over 400
per cent.) on a ton of coal costing
$2.50 at the mines? And this is
but one of a thousand. From the

pays middlemen their 400 per cent,
