Marble and the Tariff.
To those who do not know the
facts, the extent of our marble de¬
posits in Pickens county, would
seem fabulous, and to those who
have long known this region, it ap¬
pears almost incredible that so
much wealth w a s permitted to
slumber in the earth for so many
years without any ’practical effort
for development. W e did not
pof Hnow what we possessed, and
jf we had known, we were without
Railroad facilities and could do
nothing.
Now, we have a Railroad not on¬
ly through the county, but into the
quarries from which the best mar¬
ble perhaps in the world is being
transported in large quantities. A
mere surface examination shows
that it must be inexhaustible in
quantity, while practical tests have
shown that in all the gsseptial
qualities of good marble, it is un¬
surpassed. And yet the develop¬
ment of this great industry is in its
infancy, as compared with many
Other marble producing regions in
this country arid in Europe. New
companies are being organized and
quarries opened; property is being
leased and sold at prices that
yvould have been considered enor.
mous a few years since. R. W.
Allred has recently effected ft lease
of his interest in some very fine
quarries, to a conipany now en
gaged in the wArk’ of opening as
valuable marble property as can
be found in the immense deposits
of this much sought mineral, He
has also secured an option on the
property of Mrs. Roxana Pisha-
roon ami her children to purchase
the same or to lease as he may
elect, and has found on this prop¬
erty as pure white marble as can
be found in the world, It is not
known to what extent this white
marble may be had ip the’ deposit
on this property, but marble of the
best quality and of the highest
crystalline grade and endless in
quantity, is known to exist there.
William Poole, the Darnell estate
and others in the vicinity own im¬
mense deposits of the same quality
of marble, the last named proper¬
ties being part of the same great
lead and all within the distance of
a mile. There is no more inviting
field for capital in the State. It is
in some sense beyond mere specu¬
lation and unlike many enterprises
its value and its future can with
reasonable certainty be estimated.
Jf the system of protection to
American industry and the prod¬
ucts of American labor be not de¬
stroyed by those who represent
British and other foreign interests
more than they represent the
progress and welfare of their own
country, then this great marble
businese has a grand future; but
should marble be put on the free
list—marble in the rough or manu¬
factured—it will bo a stab at this
great industry that will be most
sensibly felt. I cannot believe it
will be done, and yet free trade has
about so many sophistries, vagrie.
ami inconsistencies that should
worst happen it need not be a
ter of surprise. Will our. people
support such a policy ot suicide or
those who do support it? 1 hope
not. 1 hey ought, by them votes,
to bury them so deep that H*
hand of resurreetton could not
leach them in a t ousam Icats
of time. Mute shall certainly be
given in that direction. I believe
more in my own country and her
interests than any other on

Ex-Gpvernor Bullock
The most prominent c,,lUr„„r leLubhcan
' in Georgia to-day i,
Bullock. 11 is viewi ||^| pollti<
j matters relating to the South are
■ directly opposite tfj tho/^e pf some
of the republican leaders at the
North. Being one of opr people
lie does not hold to vague theories
but his opinions are based upon
sound principles and ,solid facts.
He is president of the Atlanta
Cotton Mills and his position ena¬
bles him to get a true insight into
Southern industries and Southern
principles; and, being identified
with the manufacturing interests
of the South and being a close ob¬
server of political matters, his
views are certainly entitled to
much consideration by the friends
of the South, and especially by
those who would injure her by un¬
just legislation.
To the proposed plan of reduc¬
ing congressional representation in
the South Mr. Bullock is opposed,
and qas lately been trying to pen¬
etrate the cloud of self-imposed un¬
belief that impair^ the vision of
some of the Northern republicans.
Belovv we quote from his letter of
the 9fh inst. tp the editor of the
New York Press and regret that
our limited space prevents us from
reproducing the whole article. He
says:
“Therefore to attempt to make
an issue jn the coming national
campaign for a reduction in the
congressional representation from
the south on the ^legation that
colored men are denied |,y those
states tj)e right to vote, would be
an assertion that we stand in wil¬
ful defiance of fhe amendments to
the constitution pf the United
States, which we have engrafted
in our state constitutions and
sworn to support— amendments
which all accepted as the final set¬
tlement of the issues growing out
of the war. To charge this upon
us without other evidence of uuch
denial than the smallrtess of the
total vote in recent congressional
elections would be ungenerous, un¬
just and unpatriotic, and it would
react the at the north.
“I pray you not to forget that
congress has no more control in
the domestic affairs than she has
in Rhode Island, and any attempt
to do here what cannot be clone
there would be resented by your
own section. Why saddle the par¬
ty with such false and disturbing
issues?
“Be done with theories and ac¬
cept accomplished facts, The
south under the new order of
things has doubled her manufact¬
uring and productive industries,
both as to the quantity produced
and the value of the product, and
has more than doubled her com¬
mercial importance. Do you sup¬
pose her practical, thinking, work¬
ing men, who have accomplished
this magnificent result are unmind¬
ful of their own interests, or that
when the simple issue of the re¬
peal of federal internal taxation
add the collection of necessary
revenues by an adjustment of du¬
ties on foreign imports in a way to
protect American industry is pre¬
sented to them they will hesitate
to break away from the Bourbon
influences which seek to check
and destroy this great advance in
material prosperity? Do you be¬
lieve our people will be slow to di¬
vide when they see that their pe¬
cuniary interests are in dander?
“Any attempt, however, to in¬
terfere with our domestic affairs or
t0 magnify the negr0 for political

Another good man hfiS gone
wrong. Treasurer Tate, of Ken-:
tucky, hr, gone on a visit to Can,
da and the state finds llersclf mi-
nus about $250,000.
Chief Justice Waite, of the U.
S. Supreme Court, died at his
, home .n Washington , on the , 23 rd.
Among the list of names from
which his successor is to be chosen
is that of Hon. N. J. Hammond, of
Atlanta.
Jl is said that jn the race be¬
tween Col. Candler and Judge Les¬
ter the latter will carry the vote of
Pickens county. The race is get¬
ting to be interesting, nearly all
the papers jn the district taking a
stand for Candler.
We sec it stated that Rev. T.
Pickett, of JIal! Ground, is promi¬
nently spoken of as an independ¬
ent candidate for Congress from
this district. We are not inclined
to think that he will consent to
run but if he does enter the race
there will be spine lively tipies in
the old Ninth.
Many questions of importance
and great magnitude to the State,
and of general and direct interest
to every cjtizen of the State, wiU
come before the next Legistature.
Th(t Legislature of 1888-89 will be
one of the most important since
about 1870, It therefore behooves
the people of the State that men
of intelligence, knowledge and
good sense be elected from every
county in the State. The State
road is to be disposed Of in some
w.ay, and also the question of bet-
torments” on said road: the prrpH’
disposition of the convicts of the
State will require much time and
thought from the best of men; a
successor to Colquitt is to be elect¬
ed on the tariff issue; Superior
Court Judges and Solicitors are
to be elected, and also two Su¬
preme Court Judges most likely;
the granting of a charter to the M.
& N. Ga. R. R. to extend from
Marietta to Atlanta; and we might
mention many other questions of
equal or even greater importance
than these. Then, no matter who
we may personally prefer, let us
vote for that man who we think is
the best qualified to represent us
and who will vote right on all ques¬
tions.—Cherokee Advance.
Henry Tapper, one oi those

can do,” said he, “is to rush out
and roll over and over in the snow.
It's easy enough and a sure thing,
if you’ll only keep your presence
of mind. Here I’ve got on some
old clothes, and I'll show you how
it’s done.” He showed them. He
turned kerosene on his legs and
then touched a match to them.
All this happened in the kitchen.
The unearthly, terrific yell Mr.
Tupper let loose happened there
too, and then, like a screaming,
blazing demon, he rushed for the
snow bank, via dining room, hall,
stairwav, bedroom window and the
top of . the woodshed. , , , - He t got ^ in-
to the snow bank and rolled over,

door . would . . , let him. , . 1 he hired

He came to till it full of lore;

“J"tSttSI S£'
qd Calvary’s brow he hung to the ci’qrs,
And won back to God a world that was lost,
They laid him in a new made grave,
Not knowing that he had power to save
His earthly body from corruption’s state,
a,k1 r * st °r 0 back to a life far more great,
But such was to be the way of the Lord,
In dealing with Christ, his son, and his
w^jjjl.
Of a iwk they made the door of the tomb,
And soldiers watched through the night-
Iv iriooni
Knowing not that in his hand lie grasped
'I'lie keys of death and eternity, too,
Releasing at pleasure to earthly view,
The of all ages, tongues,and climes;
Matter uniting with spirits and minds.
An earthquake was felt, an angel came
down,
The sto ne rolled away,light shone aj-oiind.
Fearinglhe angel the watchmen did shake,
And let this visitor his treasure take,
He entered the grave liewn from the ropk,
'J’he good news to break that dead Christ
w.'is not.
“He is risen”—all listen, hear him say,
“< ,'ome see the place where the Lord Je-
i sus lay.”
Hof^vomen went to the rock tomb,
IBs body to embalm with sweetperfprae,
Surprise met them at the sepulcher floor,
Jesus was lying in the grave no more.
But an angel elothed in garments white,
They saw in the vault by th’ morning light,
Who said, Fear not ye, whom ye seek, I
know,
Jesus, who was laid in this grave so low.
Go tell the disciples, lie is risen,
Hath broken the bars of death's dark
prison,
Hath gone into Gallilee, there lie’ll meet,
Those who lovingly sat at his feet,
They departed witli much haste, Joy and
fear,
And did run to let the disciples hear.
As they so swiftly went, he met them
' "saying,
All hail! and they fell at his feet prgying.
lie is risen—Angels came from above,
To bring us the good news; 0 matchless
love!
He is rifeen-Saints have seen him on earth,
And they tell to all of the grave’s new
birth.
He is men-Taketup the songto-day,

s risen—a^id lives my soul to save,
He^nolds in his hands the keys ^fth© gr»vo.
He is risen—Yes, lie is in this school,
He asks us to let him in our hearts rule.
He is risen—Yes, he is with us? now,
He is by our sides as we humbly bow,
He is here, kind friends, to bring us relief
From sorrow, from trouble, misery and
grief,
He is here in our souls this blessed hour;
Happy Easter, wear thy crown of power.
