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 Jasper, t,a., S. A. Dar.mi.i-. March, 26, ’88. 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 ^ rf] consolldat . those ]o fwwhtt th believe t0 be sclf deftnse inst , domestic d A posltlve declaration -, he has n0 such ^ , ntMlti c0 lcd with a thattvill encourage and ^ remarkaWe industrial „ rOTVtb . w ^ j b give us a division among , c ollt of which ^ ^ contKt betwcen the pr0 _ ives and the reacti(mists in congressi „ nal dist , icti a the (ldl vote wd ] ba po u ed , counted. ! “I he majority of these votes I may n„. bclal>=lc,l Tcpablican,' ' n, t It " elect candidates pledged »** to sustain American interests and American labor, and tp maintain ^he majesty oi these United States, M Do not drop the substance to grasp for the shadow.” 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 knowing men, was explaining to his wife and sister-in-law in Du- buque, the other day, how they should conduct themselves in ca^k , clothes should accidentalty . catch afire. -The best thing 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, just as soon as the presence of mind which neglected to cast into the bank just outside the kitch- door . would . . , let him. , . 1 he hired oil man put out the fire in the house and resuscitated the ladies, who | now not only understand what to | j do in case their clothing gets on | fire, but are fast learning that cot- j ton, moistened with cool cream, ; though a very soothing application for parched flesh, will not entirely 1 prevent profane groans. RASTER. He came to till it full of lore; tie came to lead us all above. “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, a Jjkj lid shout it aloud for aye and aye. 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.
