Forsyth. Dec. 11.—(Special.)—Going
the rounds today while In this delight
ful old town I inlet Editor MUGtnty of
the Advertiser, one of the most genial
optima** la Georgia. He makes you
feel as tf sunshine Is Ml around you.
Speaking of present conditions, be
said: “If you and I are spared ten
years longer we will are Georgia more
prosperous than men ever dreamed of
or Hoped tor. The signs of an industrial
revolution are plain to me. A reaction
from old-time methods and policies has
set in. and It will not stop. Our people
will Fare TO adjust themhelvwi to
diratged conditions and cease the sli
ce, ton system. We have a Boll capable
of producing nearly everything that
can be raised In tile ground. The ex
perience of the past season has been
full of object lemons TO our people,
which they wtH not forget. A good
many feel Blue now, and, thinking of
the'low price of cotton, have been lu-
eftined to look on the dhrk side; but
this will not last Already there Is a
more hopeful feeling and a disposition
to make the beet of preseri! conditions.
I am pleased ‘to note tlxtlt the Telegraph
is leading the fight on this line; and
I wunt to congratulate you on the
wonderful improvement of the Tele
graph under Mr. Alien. It Is one of the
best newspapers In the South." Refer
ring to the undeveloped resources of
the state and of Monroe oounty, he
said: "The natural resources of Geor
gia are second to those of no state in
the union, and Monroe lias her share.
Within the limits of this county, on the
TownDisa river, a tributary of Uie Oc-
mulgee, Is one of the flntot water
I»wers far manufacturing’ purposes in
the state. There is a fall &f 90 feet, ouid
for o distance of 400 yards on each side
of tho stream the power—equal to 1,000
horse power—can be utilized to drive
thousands of spindles. The* power is
sufficient to operate enough factories
to use ail the cotton that can bo raised
in this tnd adjoining counties.”
If one wains to find Judges of
current events and policies, he need* fro
no farther than Forsyth. Mr. J. M.
Thomas, ono of the old-time IXmocrats,
is a fair exponent. Unswerving in his
faith In Densucrakic principles, he
innmtaius his faith where others falter,
and brieves Cleveland Is the tribune
of the people. “Two years from now,”
he aayn, “the people will throw up
chelr hat* for him nnd acknowledge
he has been right on all public ques
tions to whloh the Democratic party
Is committed.

better klmos, and it can’t stop govd
from coining. Calamity croakers win
be out of a Job, iffor we aw* l>ouiid to
turn to corner on hard times.”
Mr. J. F. Falk of Amerlcus, formerly

Now York, I tspatoed on board and in
quired for Mr. Fulton. I wus referred
to the cabin, and tthero found a pla'n,
gentlemanly man, wholly alone and cn*
gaged iu witting.
“ ^Mr. Futton, I presuDfis?'
“ 'Y’os, sir.' •
M ‘Po you reform to New Yoilc with

“*We shrill (try to got hack, sir.'
" 'Otn I lave a passage down?*
" 'You can dAke your chance with us,

and, after a momesst’s hesitation,

“This queotton roused hkn aa from

“HJs voyage to Now York was kut-
co^ful, as nil know, and tertnnatod
without accident
“Some four years after this, when
the Clermoac had been srmwly im-
pi»ved and her name c&uv^d to the
North River, and when two other Iveitti.
namely, the Car of Neptune ami the
Faragon, had N>en hoik, nfaking Mr.
Fulton’s fleet -three boat* secularly ply-

took passage ou ono of these for the
latter city. The cabin • n that day was
below, and as T walked its length to

observed by one I supposed a stranger.
Scxra, however, I~rotsi*led •the fmtures
of ‘Mr. Fukon, but, wtthoot disclosing
this, 1 continued my walk.

THE QUARTZ CRAZE.
When a Man Takes it Good-bye to All
Hopes of Reform. ...
"A man may recover from a crazy de
sire for gambling or give up whisky af
ter he has been Its slave,” said Robert
Searles of Denver at La Normandie yes
terday, “but when he goes quartz crazy
there is no further hope for him unless
he strikes a bonanza. Then his insanity
will be none the less intense, but It will
not be so pronounced,because he will have
the means to pursue his passion without
undergoing, discomfiture or creating re-
mark. What do I mean by Quartz crazy?
Well, It Is evident you have never been
In the Western country. Out where' the
mountains are piled, up on top of each
other those lunatics abound. A man who
is quartz crazy is an Individ liar who
catches the mining fever and' bdebmes
convinced that his mission on earth is
to find tho greatest vein of pay ore ever
discovered. In pursuit of his quest he
suffers more hardships and overcomes
more obstacles than did all the knights
who ever searched for the Holy Grail.
He will leave home, family, friends and
comfort, and, all alone, with a meagre
supply of provisions and a few tools, he
will plunge Into unknown wildernesses,
and when he finds a place that holds out
a mineral prospect he will burrow in the
treacherous mountain side like a rabbit
end dig from daylight to dark, expecting
with every stroke of his pick to uncover
fcls expected fortune. Nearly every pros
pector in the West, or the rest of the
world for that matter, is afflicted with
the malady. I have described. Some of
them keep up their ceaseless search, with
every recurring season, and sometimes
strike a good thing. In such cases some
body else, the party who has the money
to develop the find, reaps the profits.
“There are exceptions, however, and
old Tom Cruse of Helena Is one. Tom
was and Is a character. He reached.
Montana when Lost Chance Gulch, where
Helena is now located, was yielding up
the riches of Its gravel to the desperate
pioneers who had struck the place when
starvation seemed the next thing to con
template. When the gulch gave out he
began to travel through the mountains
looking for his bonanza. He could neither
read nor write, but his mineral knowledge
was something wopderful. Every spring
for years he started out with a grub
stake and every fall he returned empty-
handed, but yet full of hope. Everybody
laughed at him and made him a butt for
their Jokes, but old Tom took It all good
naturedly and invariably found soynobody
during the winter to fit him out for his
Journey in the spring. At last, one Au
gust day several years ago, Tom came
Into Helena with a bag of specimens that
opened people’s eyes. They were from
the lead which resulted in the discovery
of tho world-famous Drum Luimnon mine
at Marysville. Mont. Tom’s common
sense helped him to beat tho moneyed
people, who tried to beat him. He owns
the biggest part of the Drum Lummon
yet, and he has a banking house at Hel
ena as a side issue. His life has had Its
tender romance and a pathetic tragedy,
too. Tho winter previous to his strike a
waiting maid in ono of the Helena ho
tels hail been quite kind to tho old man.
When hia fortune came he asked her to
share It with him, and she consented.
They were a devoted couplo and old
Tom’s cup of happiness was brimming
full when his wife died, after being a
bride for a year. Has he gotten over
being quartz crazy? Not a bit of it.
This last summer he disappeared from
Helena, and it was given out that he
had gone East, "but he hadn t. Ho was
out In the mountains with a prospector's
outfit, revellnp: In search o£ another Drum
Lummon. Ah. no. a man never recovers
from quaitx cra2iness, and the malady
has killed more brave, strong, enthusias
tic meh than a dozen epidemics ot small
pox or yellow fever. 11 —Washington Star.
