BUSTLING GAINES VIDDE, THE CAP- ITAD OP HISTORIC HALL. The Center of One of the Riehesr Sections of Georgia—The Enter- prising: People of Hall and Ad joining; Counties — Gainesville Destined to Be a Great Manufac turing City—Capital, Climate, Nat- ural Location and tlie Rich Re sources of tl*e Surrounding Coun try Make Its Future Assured. From the Morning News, Jan. 26. By invitation of personal and politi cal friends I visited Gainesville during court week, and spent part of two days in meeting the citizens of Gainesville, and of Hall, Walton, White, Rabun, Milton and otlier counties. To a low countryman like myself it is pleasant to make a summer trip to the foot hills of the Blue Ridge and enjoy their grand scenery, delightful climate, and heaHh-giving waters. A trip in Janu ary is not to be anticipated with en thusiasm. My experience, however, was that while nature had covered the fields and the hillsides with snow, Gainesville was a pleasant place to visit in winter, and its people’s welcome in January is as warm as in July. Rev. George White, 53 years ago, speaking of the people of Hall county, said they were “rather shy of strangers.” I did not find them so. Hall county. oDjvyhich Gainesville is the county site, is in that part of Geor gia that the Cherokees loved so well and battled for from the time that De- Soto’s pale face first startled the red men, until the time when the Indians were removed beyond the’Mississippi. Three adjoining counties are named after Georgia’s signers of the Declara tion of Independence: Hall, Gwinnett, and Walton. Dr. Lyman Hall, in whose honor Hall county was named, was a Connecticut man who settled in the parish of St. John’s, a part of what is now Liberty county. This parish was settled by de scendants of New England Congrega- tionalists who founded Dorchester, S. C., which by the way was also the homo of my paternal great-grand parents though they were Scotch- Irish Presbyterians. In the ini tial movements which led to the independence of the colonies, those patriotic Puritans of St. John’s parish became so incensed with their fellow subjects in other parts of the colony of Georgia, especially those living in Sa vannah, because they failed to act at once in the movement against King George III., that they refused to do business -with them. It was such stern patriots that se lected, Dr. Lyman Hall to represent them in the Continental Congress, and which he did until the people of the colony acted through their delegates, who met in Tondee’s tavern in Savan nah, where Branch’s grocery store now stands, and sent Button Gwinnett and George Walton to keep Dr. Hall’s com pany. How England treated the Amer icans of those days is well illustrated in South Africa to-day, and doubtless had she capturecW the doctor, he would have been shot, hung, or at the least, kept in a-death breeding prison ship. England of the twentieth century, and England of the eighteenth century are the same, and Mr. Chamberlain of the reign of Edward VII is the Lord North of George III. However, Dr. Hail lived to see the colonies independent, and was elected Governor in 1783. He died In his 67th year and was buried in Burke county. Hall county was laid off in 1818 un der the lottery act. Its population, ac cording to the census of 1900, is 20,752, being an increase of nearly 15 per cent, in ten years. It would take a page or two to enumerate what Hall county has under its soil, or raises on top of it. It has gold mines, and diamonds have been discovered within its limits. Wheat, rye, corn and cotton are pay ing crops, and fine cattle are raised on its hills. At one time it was thought its altitude would not permit the growing of the fleecy staple with success, but Hall county now comes up with its share of those ten millions and more of bales, which make the farmer feel blue, and keep the buyer, consumer and speculator guessing. However, home cotton mills-soon w r ill manufac ture into goods all of Hall county's cotton crop, and probably that of sev eral adjoining counties. Further on 1 shall give some interesting data about local manufactories. Gainesville has a commodious public school building and several f small school houses, and a mag nificent college, not public, how ever. The educational statistics of Hall county for 1900 are as follows: To tal number- of pupils enrolled during the year were 4,655—I include the col ored, as they are a very small percent age—and the total average attendance was only 2,280, and the whole number of days that the schools Were kept in operation, 90; the average monthly cost per pupil is $1, the whole of Which it appears was paid by the state. The colored brother and sister are not conspicuous in Hall county—in fact, even in Gainesville they are not much in evidence, and for this reason there is a complaint of a lack of household help. Three gentlemen who called on me had troubles of their own in that way; their cooks had failed to appear promptly on that day, and if I remem ber" correctly, in one case not at all, and the gentleman had to hustle for his breakfast. —Such a condition of af fairs at home is more important for the time being than the question of the governorship, and I recognized that fact by sympathizing with my visitors. It is easy to predict that Gainesville is destined to be a great manufactur ing- city. The location is healthy and the cost of living below the average; there Is a large suburban white popu lation from which to obtain intelligent and industrious workmen and work women/ I would give the statistics on these important points, but the gentle man who promised to give me the lat est information on the industries of the city and cbunty let me leave without them. However, . those who visit Gainesville and keep their eyes and ears open, cannot fail to observe the indications of its future greatness. It is one of the growing cities of Geor gia, and the completion of several new enterprises now under way will greatly add to its . population and pros perity. Gainesville will. . doubtless have a population of 15,000 to 20,000 in 1910. The last police census of the city gave it 5,494 inhabitants, to which, if is added about 3,000 people in the suburbs, ✓as somp cities do theirs, its population might be put at 8,500. At this time the especial pride of the people is the great cotton mill that is about completed, and which will soon be in operation. The‘mill is known as “Pacolet No. 4, ” No. 1, 2 ahd 3 mills being in South Carolina and owned by the same corporation. Pacolet No. 4 is,built on the land known as the,New. Holland Springs tract. Doubtless many who read this will recall that once fa mous summer resort, with its health- giving spring. The spring is there/of course, but. it, as well as its surround ings, have been changed and improved. The old hotel building and a few ol the cottages are still there,. reminders of by-gone days, and look like ^olcl shacks in contrast with the massive mill nearby and the hundreds of white cottages on the ; hillside. The mill is oo( feet in length by 150 in width, and nearly all of the building is five stor.ies high, though a part of it is six stories There are ten acres of floor space in the mill. The total investment amounts to $1,250,000, which represents $600,000, the suepIus earnings of the other Pa colet mills, after paying tvvo half yearly dividends of 10 per cent, each, and new subscriptions from old stockholders. When in operation the mill will give employment to 1,600 people, all white, many of whom have already come in from the surrounding country, await ing the opening. The mill will make standard brown sheetings. „ Another recent addition to the in dustries of the city is the Gainesville Cotton Mills, with a capital of $5C0,- 000. This mill w r as formerly the Vests Mills of Charleston, S. C., where the experiment of using negro labor in the manufacture of cotton goods met with such a dismal failure. It was removed to Gainesviile, and with white labor is making money for its stock holders. Speaking of the cotton mill industry, Col. C. C. Sanders, president of the State Banking Company, who is a gentleman fully alive to the possibil ities of manufa.cturing in Hall county, told me that nowhere could there be found more intelligent labor than among the small farmers of Northeast Georgia., The climate, he said, was so healthy that families of 10 to 16 children were nothing remarkable, and the crop was perennial. These farm raised families make the best factory operators". Col. Sanders said that it was this labor that brought the fac tories, and for years to come it would continue to be an inducement. North Georgia had everything necessary tc start and operate, probably, any in dustry—brains, braw'n and bricks. AI" that had to be brought there was the machinery. Those who visited the State Fair ol Savannah will recall the shoe exhibit of Inman, Smith & Co., whose tan- yard and shoe factory is lqcated. ai Gainesville. I had a desire to see how- shoes were made, and in company with Col. W. F. Findley, w^as shown through the factory by Mr. J. G. Hynds, the general manager, who es tablished the factory in 1887, and sold it tou the present owmers two year? since. An idea of the extent of the plant can be had when it is stated that it employs 175 hands, all white, and makes and sells a quarter of a million of shoes a year, the wholesale price? of which range from $1.00 to $3.50 a pair, embracing 100 varieties of shoeware. It uses two. carloads -of hides every week from * its own tan- yard, not to count leather and other material obtained abroad. -The work, of course, is nearly all done by ma chinery, operated by home people, as manly a lot of men, and as comely a gathering of women as can be found anywhere In Georgia. Among the op erators on one of the hundred intri cate shoe-making, machines is an al derman of the city. . Gainesville also boasts of the fine quality of bricks manufactured from the clay of Hall county. The several brick yards make twenty millions of brick a year. Mr. M. B. Hudson, who is well known as one of Gainesville’s prominent citizens, a self-made man. is the leading brick manufacturer. Near the city are several lime kilns, they are called“perpetual” kilns, as they are forever burning. I was told that the only stone in the state that will'make the celebrated Portland ce ment is to be found in Hall county, The pride of the city is Brer.au Fe male College—the first word means “pure gold”—at which there are 200 boarding pupils, besides scholars from the citj'-. The building is handsome and extensive, with a spacious campus Profs. A. W. Van Hoose, H. J. Pearce, and M. M. Riley are associate princi pals of the college The horse-car track from the South ern Railway station to the city has been removed to make place for an electric road, the Gainesville and Dahlonega Electric Railway, which is to run between the two cities, a dis tance of twenty-five miles, with 3 miles of track in the city and su burbs. The dynamos are to be driven by th% waters of the Chattahoochee liver. Though it is midwinter I saw a number of herds of fine cattle in the fields and pastures, and later had st. further. oDDortunLty of seeing what kind of beef cattle was raised cy m specting beeves in the markets, and it is my opinion that there was not a quarter of beef on the hooks that was not as good as the best Western meat. This can also be said of pork and smoked meats. In my rounds I visited by invitation of- Mayor Pro Tem Puckett, Gaines ville’s new City Hall, a handsome building well adapted for its purposes. In £he lower story is located the ex ecutive offices of the city, and the po lice and fire department. Chief Dun bar gaye an alarm, and the horses showed they were fire horses, and the men. that they were fire laddies. The second story of the City Hall is an - -ail ditorium capable of seating about 1,800 to 2,000 people. The building cost $15,- 000; some people think It dost too much, but hot knowing the cost oi labor and material in Gainesville, I cannot pass judgment in the case. However, it is my „ opinion that the same building built in Savannah would have cost $25,00 Qor $30,000. ., £ . , • I don’t pretend to have given all of Gainesville’s enterprises due credit^ or even./mentioned them; this- letter is simply intended to give a faint outline of what is there. There is an ice man ufacturing company, several machine shops,, wagon and carriage factories, as. well as all those many other busi nesses that tend to make up a city. The newspapers of Gainesville arc- the Georgia Cracker, edited by A. S. Hardy, Esq., and the Eagle, edited by W. H. Craig, Esq. Like all newspapers they are doing. their best to build up their city and the surrounding coun try. Gainesville is the resting place of my old friend, H. W. J. Ham. I don't mean by that that he has left this ‘terrestrial globe, for he hasn’t, but is very much alive, and 1 hope he Will remain so for, many years. Mr. Ham was away from home on a lecturing tour, telling about the “Snolagoster,” but I was pleased to learn that by his efforts in the lecture field he has gathered a ^ considerable quantity of what Shakespear calls “filthy lucre,” but which is, however, one of the filthy things that all mor tals like to have. The only hotel in Gainesville is the Arlington, but its managers do not take advantage of that condition of affairs, but give good accommodations to the wayfearing man. When I was in Gainesville some years since, it was a town of hotels and boarding houses, with the New Holland Springs Hotel, and one Or more other spring hotels, to accommodate travelers and tour ists, This Is no sign, however, of the city going backward, but rather the reverse, it indicates that it is a busi ness and manufacturing city, and pc longer depends upon the fleeting sum mer boarder for its prosperity. Among old friends who called tc see me was that veteran oi the sword and pen, Maj. J. H. Butte The major, after our mutual greet Ings, fumbled in his vest pocket foi several minutes and then pulled out a pair of folding scissors which lie held up to my gaze and asked if 3 remembered them.^ I recognized their at once; I had given those adjuncts to successful journalism to the ma jor when we were delegates to one O: the numerous press or political con ventions that we had attended to gether. The major is in the 70’s, but is still in business. Hon. j. B. Estes, judge o? the North eastern Circuit, was holding court dur ing my visit and when I appeared be fore the bar kindly invited me to a seat, ‘‘on the bench” with him. Dur ing my visit to the Court House I hac ! the pleasure of meeting many of th€ county officers, among them, T. M Bell, Esq., dlerk of the Superior Court a brother-in-law of Mr. W. A. Winburr of this city, traffic manager of ^ the Central of Georgia Railway; WT A Charters, Esq., solicitor general, ‘ £ brother-in-law of Prof. Walter W.
