BILL ARP’S LETTER
Bartow Man Returns From Lect
uring Tour Well Satisfied,
SOME OBSERVATIONS OF BIS TRIP
Expresses Astonishment at tile Marvelous
Growth of Some Places Visited
While Oil 1110 Trip.
I dies bring n trouble when they homo
Ami money leaves a pain when it goes,
But everybody now should have a littlesum
To brighten up at its close.
And so in,y wife—thoughtful woman
—told My that Iliad better start out
and see if I couldeut talk the good
people out of enough to muke the
grandchildren happy. The weather
was unpropitious and my old
hones were grumbling, hut I obeyed
tho maternal orders and went. Inertia
is a great invention. The older wo
grow the more inertia we have. When
I have stayed at home a few months,
I want to keep on staying there and it
nearly kills mo to rouse up and go
away even for a week. After I liaVe
gotten on tile toad tho harness seoms
to warm me Up, my inertia is broken
and new scenes slid people and friends
absorb my attention.
I have just returned from Alabama
from a second trip and the welcome
home has settled me down so calm and
serene that my iuerta has begun to
work and I feel like I could never go
away any more. Tho weather was
against me somewhat, but I reckon I
sold enough talk to run us through
this Christmas. I hope so, for it may
be the laßt,aud they yvhat then?
There is a wonderful difference be
tween the people of big cities and
those of little, unpretending toWns.
By request 1 Visited Childersburg, a
villnge of a few hundred people, whom
I did not find too busy to talk to me;
especially the old Confederate veter
ans, whose grizzly beard and settled
features always mark them. I can tell
them a hundred yards off. “And the
common people heard him gladly,”
sayeth the scriptures. Just so have I
found the yeomanry of our sunny
southland are my most willing hear
ors.
I love them and love to talk to them,
for they have neither policy nor
hypocrisy. lam glad myself to be
long to tho middle ele and to mingle
...tn them. Ai iiSi.ljl’lfi.o nocioty Ims
but few charms for me. The sweetest
poet who ever wrote a verse said that
Abou Ben Ahdum was plaoed high in
heaven because lie loved his fellow
men. That was his only credential.
In Childersburg (he good people
gathered at the academy that cost
nothing. Iu fact not anything cost
anything, and I was most hospitably
entertained and left with a kisß on the
lips of a sweet little girl who recited
a speech for me that her aunt had
taught her. She was only a little
child. Before I left home I had a let
ter from a cousin in Birmingham oor
dially inviting me to his house, and
said he would meet me at tho depot
with a brass baud. Also another let
ter from a lady friend, a widow, who
said I must come to her house aud she
would meet me at the depot with open
arms. When my wife read them 1
asked where I had better go, aud she
replied with peculiar emphasis, “go
to Fred’s.”
Birmingham is a wonderful city and
a very beautiful one. A largo, clear,
well arranged depot receives you.
Broad, well paved streets aud side
walks delight you, and magnificent
commercial blocks astonish you. Ev
erything has been planned on a grand
scale aud everybody is busy with trade
and industries that seem to be increas
ing and spreading out in every direc
tion. Thousands of beautiful dwellings
adorn the highlands that environ tho
city aud hundreds are being built on
new streets that are being graded and
paved as fast as it is possible. There
are churches thero that cost over
SIOO,OOO each. Money, money, money!
It is there by the million and keeps ou
coming from all points of the country
for investment. Wealthy merchants
from other cities have planted branch
houses there and the child is outgrow
ing the parent.
All around this center the whole
face of the earth is dotted with iron
plants and their fires are ever burn
ing. It is a magnificent sight to ap
proach Birmingham by night, and on
either side of every railroad to see the
angry looking llames going up from
thousands of coke ovens and hundreds
of smoke stacks. It makes one think
of Dante’s Inferno and Hades and
Pluto and Hell itself. Not very long
ago a tramp wandered out among the
ovens before they were fired anil laid
down to sleep. During tho night,
when the fires were all aglow, he was
found in dangerous proximity and was
rudely punched up, and when asked
who he was aud where he came from,
said: “I was in Birmingham yesterday
and I reckon I got drunk and I sup
pose lam in hell now—just as I’ve
been expecting—no water about here,
is there?”
I visited Ensley, the Southern Pitts
burg, where the leviathan steel plants
are going up. lhere is a population
now of 10,000 busy people operating
the furnaces and , t’nke the 1
mining for coal, bna.s come to
been told, and I anon open the
I think I jAwr end, at the
that are r
to.
;tiM
who arJ
plants '
est i t*' ’W
that by the first of April these plants
at Ensley will require 20,000 men, and
they with their families would make
up a population of 100,000 people.
There are a cluster of five furnnees
thero now that Inru out 750 tons of
pig iron every day, and these are not
the half of them— and the great steel
plant is,to make 6,000 tons of steel
every day. “Mirabie dictu!” Have
I got these figures down right? I made
some notes on the back of an envelope
and that’s tho way they read. I know
that the 26,000 operatives is right,
though another man said 20,000. Not
long ago I retold a storv that a friend
told me about his hunting expeditions
on the I’an Handle region just nfter
the civil war, and how he and his com
panions camped in an old cabin one
night and the wolves came down from
ihe mountains and besieged them, and
how they shot at them all night
through the cracks between the logs
and killed hundreds of them, and as
fast as they killed them the pack of
hungry varmints would jump on the
dead ones aud eat them all up—all ex
cept the hair and bones —and how tho
wolves left at daybreak, and after
hey wore all gone those hunters went
out to see how mauy they had killed,
i hoy never found a single wolf, but
the grouud for three acres around the
cabin was covered three feet deep in
hair. That's what I thought he said,
and I retold it that way.
Not loug after this a mutual friend
told mo that my hunter friend was
hurt at mo for exaggerating the story,
for ho declared that he told me that
the ground was covered two aud a
half feet deep in hair, and I had, with
out any provocation, added a half foot
to it. And so to koop the peace I
agreed to take off that half foot aud
have ever since done so when I re
peated tho limiter’s story. It is a soro
temptation to us all to make a story a
little bigger when wo retell it, and wo
ought to be very careful on that line.
And so I feel very cautious about re
tailing the magnitude of things at
Ensley. Hut my eyes did not de
ceive me and I saw solid Rtool billets
that weighed 6,000 pounds each piled
up and cross piled like great logs of
wood, and I saw the meu molding
them from tho fiery furnaces. The
meu had on large blue spectacles and
visors, for it is awful to look upon tlio
dazzling heat that glows from the
caldron of liquid steel. These cal
drons were not tapped from the bottom,
but wore turned up at au augle an
45 degrees, so that they would over
flow like water from a wash howl, and
let the top of tho lava run into the up
right molds. These huge molds wero
arranged perpendicular on a lit
tle train ol cars hat was mov
ed slowly by electricity, and
and as fast as one was filled another
took its place. Oh it was grand and fear
ful. Those caldrons were lifted up and
careened by great rams that looked like
immenso cannon. But I forbear. The
huge leviathans all around mo mado
me dizzy and I begged my friends to
lot me go home, for my amazement was
tired. Now just to thiuk of the wire
department, where one of those great
billets was reheated and started
through the great rollers and was
squeezed smaller and smaller as it went
ou through hundreds of them till it wuh
reduced to wire—steel wire of all
sizes, even down to silver steel wire
that wae small enough to inako the
bows to a pair of spectacles.
What a wonderful thing is tho brain
of a man? I could toll more wonder
ful things about Ensley, hut I remem
ber that during the civil war, when
Confederate money had flooded tho
south and everybody had a hat full or
a hag full, I asked a treasury official
how much had been issued, and ho
looked dozed for a moment and said it
was either three hundred million or
three thousand million, he wasn’t cer
tain which. Aud so I will take off tho
half foot.
Birmingham has boon accustomed
to speak of Ensley as one of its
suburbs, its pet, its cub, but Ensley is
already putting on Pittsburg airs and
talks of taking iu Birmingham within
the year and calling herself the
“Greater Ensley,” for the parent city
has only 75,000 people.
I was going to write about Tusca
loosa, that sits high on tho banks of
the Black Warrior, tho Athens of Ala
bama, the homo of the university and
the collges, the alma mater of culturo
and refinement, the druid city, the
historic capital of the state up to 1844.
I was going to relate something about
the destruction of its beautiful uni
versity buildings by the Federal army,
and their reconstruction on a far more
magnificent scale. I wished to soy
something about its splendid organi
zation, its learned and efficient fac
ulty, its museum, the largest iu all the
south, and its magnificent library.
I wished to make iavorable mention
of the Htilmau institute, wliero neerro
students are studying theology and
preparing for the white man’s meth
ods of ministerial service, and to tell
about the two negroes from Africa who
are tliete, and who are genuine sons
of negro princes, whom the mission
aries have converted to Christianity.
But this letter is already too long and
so I will suspend.— Jiihj, Aup, in At

BRUMBY BURIED
IN 6EOR6IA SOIL
Brave Officer Laid To Rest
By Loving Hands.
IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES
Thousands Viewed Body While It Lay
In State Under the Dome of
Capitol.
The mortal remains of Lieutenant
Thomas M. Brumby were laid to rest
by loving hands and impressively sad
funeral services in Oakland oemetery
at Atlanta, Ga., Wednesday afternoon.
The train bearing the body reached
the city from Washington at 7 o'-clook
Wednesday morning two hours late,
but the friends’who were at the depot
awaited its arrival with patience, in
keeping with tho sadness of their mis
sion,
The honorary fall bearers, the com
mittee ou funeral arrangements, a com
pany of the Fifth regiment, ahd a
squad of police were in waiting. The
committee met tho relatives of Lieu
tenant Brumby, who came with th
body. They wero Mr. and Mrs. Hey
ward, Lieutenant, Caldwell, the per
sonal representative of Admiral Dewey
and close friend of the dead officer,
was also with tho party. The party
went immediately to the Kimball
house, while the henorary pall-bear
ers, the soldiers atul the squad of po
lice, aocompauied the caskot to the
state capitol, under the direction of
Umlortukor l’atterflon.
On the arrival at the oapitol the po
lice formed ou either side of the wide
steps and tho funeral party and milita
ry escort marched with selomn step
into the rotunda. The soldiers form
ed on either side of the oentral rotunda
and the catjjl&t' was placed directly un
der the dome.
The casket bore the simple inscrip
tion, “Lioutenant Thomas M. Brum
by, U. & N.. Novembor 20th, 1855.
December 17th, 1809."
Lieutenant Caldwell placed the mag
nificent sword of Brnmby and the
navy officer’" hat on the heavy black
casket, while the (lowers which had
oomo down with the body from Wash
ington, wero arranged on tables about
the rotunda. They were superb floral
offerings.
A great wreath of white roses, ja
pouicas and carnations, twined with
delicate ferns, bore a card with the
simply inscription, "The President."
Another wreath of similar design was
marked with the name of Secretary
Long, of tho navy. Admiral and Mrs.
Dewey's oard wan attached to an an
chor of roses and violets. A magnificent
wreath of colored roses and graceful
palms was marked, “From Georgia
Friends.”
The body of the young hero lay in
state at the capitol from 8 o’clock in
the morning until 2 o'clock in the
aftornoon, during which timo thou
sands of sorrowing Atlnntians looked
for the last time on his face.
Mrs. A. E. Brumby, the aged moth
er of Lieutenant Brumby,was not well
enough to leave her home in Marietta
to attend the funeral services, and to
see the dead form of her beloved son.
Mrs. Brumby has boon in ill health
for some time, and though it was ex
pected that she would arrive in Atlanta
Wednesday morning,she was too weak
to undertake the short trip.
At 2 o’clock the remains were taken
by the military guard to St. Philip's
church, where, at 2:30, the solemn
and impressivo funeral service of the
Episcopal church was conducted by
Bishop C. K Nelson.
At the conclusion of the service at
the church the funeral procession was
formed, and, headed by the military
of the city, the Fifth Georgia infan
try, the Atlanta artillery and the Gov
ernor's Horse Guard, moved from
Washington streot out Hunter to the
cemetery.
The fifth rogiment band was at the
head of the military and was followed
by company B of the Heventh United
Btates infantry. Next came the Fifth
regiment, followed by the Atlanta ar
tillery and the Governor’s Horse
Guard.
The state aud municipal officers,
supreme court judges and many prom
inent citizens comprised the honorary
escort to the cemetery.
When the servico had ended the cas
ket was lowered into the grave and in
a few short moments a large mound of
newly turned earth was all that marked
the spot of the final resting place of
one of Georgia’s gallant sons.
A detachment of regulars was march
ed to the grave under command of
Lieutenant Offerly and three volleys
were fired into the air. Two buglers
from the Seventh infantry then stepped
forward to the foot of the grave and
sounded “taps."
This was the last act of the cere
mony aud the crowds withdrew.
