Albany, Ga., April 13.—“I’ll call by in an hour
and take you round to see the well,” said the Hon.
Mr. Westbrook, as we stopped for dinner at the
Barnes house In this charming city.
"I’ve Just come," said Colonel Suggs Jones, a half
hour later, "to drive you round to see the well.”
"I’d like to take you round to see the well, if you
have the time,” said Joe Davis, Jumping from his
buggy, as we started in to dinner.
"The omnibus will be at the door," said Colonel
Barnes, aa we finished a most excellent dinner,
“and you might like to ride round and see the
well.”
It’s an artesian well! It is the first confirmation
of the hope induced by Colouel Fort’s experiment
of which I wrote fully some months ago, that wells
might be secured all through southwest Georgia.
For yean this had been denied, and the lack of
pure water was thucurseof a great and rich sec
tion. Attempt after attempt had been made and
all bad failed. Scientific men had written treatises
to prove that puro water could not be bad by bar
ing. Colonel John P. Fort—to his lasting honor be
it said—in the face of precedent and precept, went
to work, and after boring over 500 feet struck a
stream of pure water that gushed to the earth’s sur
face—as grateful to the eyes of thousands as the
waters that brokofrom the rock in the desert when
it was smitten by the rod of the prophet.
Albany was the first city to follow Colonel Fort
She made a failure in the first attempt, and failed
again. At last the third boring was begun. Down
the drill went throngh forty feet of rotten limestone,
then through four hundred and fifty feet of gravel
rock and dirt, through which vague streams perco
lated, and then to a bed of blue marl. It Was be-
nealb’thfs marl that Mr. Fort had found water. So
on the drill was rent. It went eighty feet further,
when it struck clear and cold water. It was strongly
Impregnated with inns, however.
Just at this point there was a discussion. Part of
the citizens wanteijr the work stopped and others
wanted it prosecutcifjJ^uUl the mineral yvater belt
was passed. The discussion was continued until, I
am told, it was discovered the iron water would
not mix well with whisky. The drill was imme
diately put to work, went a few feet further, when
a stream of pure arid sweet water came gurgling up
front the bowels of the earth. It yields steadily 30
gallons per minute. The waterls as dear as crystal,
pleasant to the toytu and reasonably cool. It prob
ably comes from the granite water-sheds lu Carroll
and Heard counties, having drifted under the im
pervious coatlnBof marl, over which as It reached
southward was pHed.theucciimnlation of shells and
sea weed, until the water was hundreds of feet
t.elow the surface and the ocean was forced hack to
its present limits. Forages it has bcen-lmprisoned
beneath tills ovcrcoat.of marl, until a people, never
dreamed of when it found its way there, pierced
the incumbent wall and released it.
"The man who drinks this water,” said Colonel
Barnes, with a mixture of caution and praise,
"don’t need no pi’Is.
"lias it any medicinal properties?"
"Has it? Well, 1 should say! There is a lady in
this town who had dyspepsia for years. She drank
this water a while, and now she is sound as a bear.
There’s a man who never eat a piece of meat in two
years, and after drinking this water ho has a fine
1m>w room and plenty to cat and drink and wear,
and big gardens and orchards, and aefes of dowers
and vines and broad meadows and fine horses can
not bo found.lt is a leisurely,restful place—not the
leisure of the laggard, but rather of the man who
lias his own business' well in hand and is not at
tending to anybody else’s.
It must not be imagined that the city is at astand-
still. On the contrary, it is going forward sharply
—not with a rush or a boom—but sturdily and
' steadily. From one point of view, 1 was shown five
new houses being built, and there is growth in nil
parts of tho city. The trade ’of the place is large
and assured. From 35.000 to 30,000 bales of cotton
are received annually, the growers of which dep
on Albany for their supplies. To the dank of
city Is the best planting region, in my opinion, in
the state. There are the plantations of Lockqtt,
Jordan and others of like celebrity. The city has
recovered entirely from tho shock of the failure of
Welch & Bacon. Mr. Davis, the receiver of the
broken firm, told mo that the first, second and
third preferrea creditors would probably be paid
but he saw little hope for the general creditors. It
is said that one planter lost 330.000 by this failure.
I find here the samo disposition to plant more
com and less cotton observable all over.thc state.
Mr. Davis, who has charge of the Central's affairs at
Albany, said: , .
"Wo have better food crops about Albany, with
larger acreage than I remember to have seen in
years. The demand for credit and supplies on
credit is very much diminished. The railroad re
ceipts here show 33J i per cent less com and produce
appetite and health.”
I need not recount the other cases recited byColo-
ncl Barnes, but it is safe to say that the water is a
tine laxative aud aperient. 1 he eighty feet of marl
through which it cones is not piped, as the channel
cut by the drill is perfect. It is probable that water
in flowing through this bed is influenced by the
■uarl. Not the slightest trace of anything can be
detected In the taste or appearance ef the water.
The well is certainly a great blessing to the city. It
cost about $3,000, and the citizens would not be
without it for $100,000. It Is proposed now to build
several more wells. Captain Dick Hobbs esti
mates that they can be drilled at a cost of abont
$750 each. The force of the water is such that it
will carry a stream about thirty feet above the
opening, and it is proposed to Utilize the artesians
for water works. The water is kept in pails in most
of the houses, and thero is an almost constant
stream of people about the wells with palls, buck
eta and pitchers. I believo no other wells have
been startei in rtrathwest Georgia, but others will
follow since it has been shown that Colonel Fort's
success was not accidental, and that the uune con
ditions exist for the Albany mi!l which is thirteen
miles distant from his. The' ‘ Albany
well furnishes just seven gallous per
day foreach inhabitant, and I’m inclined to think
many of the citizens drink their fair quota. I ask
ed the keeper of a sumptuous drinking saloon if it
had hurt his business.
“No," he replied, "I was afraid it would, but it
hre not."
Soft's a goed thing all round.
Albany is one of tho sturdiest and prettiest cities
In the state, ltwaslaldoutin 1836, I believe, by
Mr. Nelson Tift, who was as precise in squaring it
off as he is in writing an argument on the tariff.
The streets are $0 to 120 feet broad, level and shad
ed on either side with Cttina trees. The houses are
well built and comfortable looking, set In large and
well cared for lots. A better type of the southern
town of the old days when there was plenty of el-
has been sent here this year than last. The farmers
seem determluod to make themselves independent
of the west as to com. They will probably continue
to buy meat of the west, as meat-raising was aban
doned here years ago.”
I am not able to give the population of Albany—
but hold on' Let's see. There is seven gallons
day of artesian water to each inhabitant. The well
give* 30 gallons a minute. That's 1,800 gallons an
hour or 43,3t)0 gallons a day. Divide that by seven
gallons, the'daily allowance per head, and we have
ti,17li»-7.people. As that is clearly above the limit,
which I should say is 4,500, I presume, in the
division in the water, the dwellers in the suburbs
are allowed to participate. Then there is at least
two ^gallons a da£ reserved for each and every
stranger. Even under this allowance. Governor
Brown and myself overdrank our contract.
-i confess that I was agreeably surprised in Al-
feftay. _I^caaaot imagluo a pUasankt h«ue, «
better place for a safe and decorous business. With
pare water assured, its manifold advantages must
make it a very important center. I was struck with
the thorough and unreserved hospitality of its peo
ple. Though we were there curly a few hours, we
had more Invitations than would have filled a
week, and I could hardly put in a column proper
acknowledgments. I leave Albany carrying over
many points for incorporation In fatare letters.
Just as our car was pulling out. Judge Vason
harried up with a gallon bottle full of pale liquid
tueked under his arm.
"This,” said he, "is some of our artesian water. I
want you to take it and drink what you need of it,
and take the balance to the Thomasville people.
Tell ’em we want them to get a hint of wfcat we are
doing up here!" /’ •
Mr. W. \V. Thomas, of Athens, who has the most,
admirable talent and accomplishments of an'y man
I kuow, has been with us since leaving Macon. Hd*
served with us through the artesian campaign' at
Albany, and goes to Thomasville to adjust some
losses for the Southern Mutual insurance company
of Athens. .
This company presents one of the most In teres-
ing questions of the day, that is soon to be settled.
It is a purely mutual'fire insurance company. It
was started before the ,war, and has now accumu
lated a million dollars surplus. This surplus is
larger than is needed. It continues to increase
year after year. Who does it belong to and what
is to be dpne with it?
There have been several ideas advanced as to this
One is that it belongs to the present stockholders.
Another is that the old stockholders who helped ac
cumulate it have an interest in it. Another theory
is tha' it belongs only to the present stockholders,
but to them In proportion to the length of the time
they have been insuring in it For example, if a
man has been insuring in it for ten years be has
clearly added ten times asmuch to the surplus ns the
man who has insured only one year. To settle the
matter finally the directors have applied to the
courts for instructions as to who the surplus belongs
The Case will be tried before Judge Claiborne
Snead early next mou th. For more than a year the
directors have had experts examining the law
records of this country urriTEurope to sec if there is
any precedent on which tiidy can act. They have
applied to insurance experts for information. No
precedent can be found, aud i^is reasonably certain
that the question lias never been decided. While,
therefore, it Involves tremendous Interests, and
must become a world-famous issue. Judge Snead
will, in all probability, be the first judge that ever
considered it.
It Is important that the managers of the company
should be officially advised as to the ownership of
this surplus. It has already grown larger than is
necessary or than is usual. Already it has declared
Gfi per cent dividend to the stockholders, and yet
the surplus grows. The interestfund isoverS60,00
per annum, and the annual business shows a large
profit.' The company is administered cheaper than
any in the world. Where 210 companies show an
average of $60 fire losses In every $100, tho Southern
Mutual showed only $22. Where the other compa
tries showed $33 on every $100 used for expenses, the
Mutual showed only $21.
Therefore, unless very heavy dividends—divi
dends that will carry the priee of Its insurance
actually below cost iu the cheapest managed com
pany in the country—the surplus will continue to
grow until the interest alone will more than pay
all losses. Then, unless insurance is reduced to
nothing, the surplus will continue to grow’rapid
ly, and where will it end? The directors are anx
ious, therefore, to have direct instructions. If the
surplus belongs ten times more to the man who
has insured ten years than to the man who has
insured one year, of course the former should have
ten times the biggest annual dividend. It is there
fore important to know.
Various suggestions have been made as to the dis
position of this surplus, or part of it or the interest,
A prominent capitalist in Athens suggested that it
should be used to build the Northeastern road. A
Boston statist of national reputation wrote a sugges
tion that the interest be applied to the establish
ment of a college of the sciences and arts in Geo
gia. Of course, these suggestions were out of the
question. The plan of the company has been to
take Insurance at the usual rates, taking the whole
premium In cash. At the end of the year the losses
and expenses were paid—the books balanced and
the surplus returned to the policy holders as divi
dends, except 10 per cent, which was passed to the
surplus fund. Though these dividends have gone
from GO to 66 per cent, the surplus has increased
until it has becomo a million dollars.
The agencies of the Southern Mutual are very
valuable positions. The Savannah agency pays
annually about S6.000.thc Augusta about $5,000, the
Atlanta. about $4,000 and the Borne about $1,200.
The decision in this case will be looked forward to
with great interest.
I met Mr. Selig. of Atlanta, to-day, aud he gave
me the particulars of a curious industry in that
city. lie and his brothers are manufacturers of
sun-bonnets. They employ one hundred and thir
ty people, mostly girls and women. These
make from $2 60 to $9 a week. In the
search made by The Constitution
for women’s work in Atlanta this
establishment was overlooked—pretty good evi
dence of the size of that village. The trade in sun-
bonnets is something wonderful. Mr. Selig sold 130
dozen in Albany, and he visits thatsplace about
every sixty days. He has five men on the road
constantly, his brother working Texas alone. He
showed me one letter from St. Louis enclosing or
ders for several hundred dozens. The most expen
rive bonnets wholesale at $13 a dozen, and retail at
ab«ut$2each. They are trimmed with “inserting’
and ribbons.
“Did you know,” said Senator Brown wearily,
after a severe fit of coughing, as we swept through
the pine barrens, “that I have a fine record for re
signing office?”
"I knew you resigned the supreme court judge-
ship?”
"1 resigned overy political office I ever held, ex
cept state senator. I resigned the first office I was
elected to, that of constable; I resigned the supe
rior court judgeship: I resigned the supreme court
jndgship: I resigned the governorship”—
“The governorship?”
“Yes, under peculiar circumstances. At the
close of the war, while 1 was in prison. Judge John
son was made provisional governor, and took cnarge
of affairs. When I came home I found him in
power. I was very sick for some weeks. As soon as
1 recovered I wrote out my resignation as governor
and had it published. I stated to the peo
ple that as I was prevented by circum
stances over which I had no control
from administering the trust they had confided
to me, I felt it to be my duty to resign it back int
their hands. I was arrested for writing this resig
nation by General Wilson, who thought it was con
tempt of the Federal anthourity. Yes,” he con-
tinned reflectively, "I’ve written several resigna
tions of office.”
I could not help wondering as I noticed him with
his worn and anxious look,and his harrowing cough
whether he had closed up his resignation record or
was holding it open. There are a good many Geor-
gians who would like to know. I am no alarmist*,
but I am convinced that Senator Brown is a very-
sick man, and that worse is threatened. He under
stands the dangers of his case thoroughly, and
brings to bear on these the calm composure with
which he meets everything. His wife is a devoted
and admirable nurse, and nothing will be omitted
that can combat his predisposition to
throat and lung troubles. With all
this, however, his friends may look with
the deepest anxiety for the result oi his present run
into the warm bell If it does not stop bis cough
and check its ravages, the profound interest now
felt in Senator Hill's condition will be divided
with his colleague, and Georgia, which boasted a
few months ago of the strongest team in the senate,
will find both her senators grappling with terrible
disease, menaced with the most serious result.
