SrAHTA, Mnrch 29. —[Special 1—This
beautiful old town, the chosen abodo of
the noblesse In ante-bellum times and
renowned for its opulence, hospitality
and refinement, has nwakened at length
frein its long Rip Van Winkle slumbers
and corues to the front galvanized into
new life and vigor.
ORANITK QUARRIES.
The proximate cause of this, In part,
is due to the opening up of two extensive
granite quarries within a half mile of the
railroad flcpoL The quality of the rock
is claimed to be superior in hardness and
fineness of texturo to that of Stono
Mountain. It 1ms already won its war
in public estimation to a degree that
orders cannot possibly be filled. Tho
largest of these quarries has seventy-
nine atone masons at work, with ad-
vunco orders it will require a whole year
to supply. Last week its pay roll was
$3,000, almost all of which trickled into
tho tills and money drawers of the
various merchants of the town.
Among those who are purchasing this
stono are the trustees of the Independent
. 'resbyterian Church. It is intended to
take the place of the (Quincy granite,
which was used in the construction of
the chaste and grand old tabernacle of

ITS VALUE TO RAILROADS.
In a recent visit of Col Machen to
tho quarries that aro now worked ho
said that tho transi>ortation of this stone
all tho year round would be worth the
carrying of six cotton crops. This will
doubtless give a new impetus to liis
cointemplated railroad from Eatonton
via Sforta, Handersvillo and Swainsboro
to Savannah, which would tap a vast
area of tho finest timber lands in the
state. Naturally tho Sparta people build
great ho|H*a upon the completion of this
road, as it would open up a market for
all their stone in Savannah and else
where.
STILL ANOTHER RAILROAD.
Capt John Hart, the president of the
extension of the Georgia railroad to
White Plains, it is said, intonds to con
tinue his line to .Sparta. This, too, would
trestly benofit tho town.
A BRICK YARD.
In addition to tho above, a company
has been formed in Sparta, with E. A.
Rozicr as president, for the manufacture
of brick on a largo scale. Tho clay is of
tho bcht quality, and work will com
mence nt once. Other industries are on
foot, and Sparta has indeed taken a now

plainly to be seen. Most sincerely do I

Greenesboeo, March 29.-
The rumor published in yc

road from Macon to Eato
through Greene, Ogleihorpu and Libert
countiee to Elberton has created consid
erable enthusiasm in our siction, espe
cially among the citizens of tho lower
!>art of Greene county.
Th* section of Greets* county known
as "Cracker's nock,” is entirely without
any railroad facilities whatever. The
people are compelled to haul th* ir crops
trom eighteen to twenty miles over
rough roads, and while the lauds are
among the moet fertile in tho ccnnty—
being rich bottom lands, well watered,
and yet poaseesing almost their virgin
S ualities— there has been comp tratively
tile development of t ■■ a< tmnnf.-ri 1
ta The:* people have long bum anxious
for a railroad, and some two yearn ago
when UoL Geo. T. Fry visited
them in the intent of the
road he proposed to build from At
lanta to the sea he received the warmest
reception from these people, who were
ready at once to contribute liberally to
the road lu rlghts-of-wey and cosh sub

This section, and the entire country
through which the rumored road is to
pass, is worth Macon's while to reach out
for. Th* Oconee river at several points,
where it strikes an air line frunj Macon,
is one of the most magmfi i-r.t water

Tlioaphale Here In 91wc«>n.
The effect* of tho rapidly growing
boom in real estato has already Lcen
town in the number of manufacturing
In-me* that have l*-«n wt on foot
ui,in ifif past ten «,r lifn-on day
Among tho biggest cchkmes on foot ia
ous whien, if it kocs into effect, will
make Macon headquarters for South
west Georgia and Florida in tho way
of phosphates and fertilizers. Th® Feb-
ruary report some time ago mentioned
Hi • fa< t tl nt 1 in-mint Geo. F. l'ajlie «-t
this city was busy at work ana^yiztag
phosphate rocks, which iio secured while
on hu prospecting tour through Florida.
•. Payne's interview in the Tele
graph last Sunday attracted considera
ble attention and wae closely read by the
half dozen or so Maoonites who are own-
or large tracts of land in the phos
phate belt.
As a result, Mr, Payne returns to
Florida either on Monday or Tjesday for
the purpose of prospecting for a syndi
cate, which has secured an option on a
tract of several thousand acres, right in
the heart of the phosphate region*. Mr.
Payne will be gone for probably ten day i,
during which time, he will go all over
the 6tate.
It is understood in this connection that
the Georgia Southern has been at the
back of a scheme that has been on foot
several weeks—that of building large
chemical and phosphate works m
Macon. The scheme, it is **td. has the
support of a number, who feel assured
that chemical works would pay here.
With the cotton seed here at Hand and
at the most central distributing point,
there is no reason why Macon should
not get the location, Ocala,
without good railroad facilities,
preparing to put up immense
chemical works. Ths cotton seed
and acid will have to be hauled down
there before fertilizers can be manufac
tured. While, if the work* are located
here, only the rongh phosphate reek need
be hauled from the phosphate beds.
The investment would represent $100,-
000 and as the acid would be manufac
tured litre, good judges say that there
is no reason why good money could not
be made.
