ARP STARTS A BOOM.
What the People of North Geor
gia ars Doing.
THE SOUTH’S MINERAL STOREHOUSE
Last summer I overheard two nun talking
; as they were digging aw.’.y in the mines, and
i one said : “Jim, they say tiiar is a big bum up
i at Rome.’*
“What’s that?” said Jim.
“Why hit’s a kind of thing whar one feller
gits s tn-thing for nothing and another feller
gits nothin" for something.”
“Why that’s a faro bank or a lottery, ain't
it?” said Jim.
“No it ain’t. I tell yon its a bum—a kind
of a new tradin’ busine'S what swells and
i shrinks and tbo swellor and shrinker stays
i down in a celiac and works the machine. They
trade in stock.” .
“Horses and mules?” said Jim. “No, hit’s
! all on paper and nobody can see what ho is
buyin’. You put your money in and wait fora
; swell. If it comes you are all right, but if a
; shrink comes you arc busted, and yon feel so
; shamed that you don’t say anything about it,
i and it never gets into the papers—nothing but
I the swells gits in the papers.”
■ Well, the booms have about subsided in
' Rome and Birmingham and Decatur,and those
I thriving cities have settled down to business.
I When a man buys t eal estate there now he
means business not speculation but business
' and thatps riulit and honest and healthy. A
I slow and sure growth is the best. That is just
{ what wo want hero in Cartersville and the
: signs are good. There is not a house to rent
and many arc wanted right now. Rut we are
I huilding'und will soon have some manufac
tur here, that will enliven the town. It is
tlicprct, ' ttoMiof its size now in the state,
except Afaricttn, and docs more business
Ilian any. There is one dry goods house
here that sells more goods than nny retail
bouse in Rome, and one hardware liouso that
doe i more business than any hardware house
in Home, and one wagon and carriage factory
that makes more vehicles and sells more than
any in the state, and a man told me he sold
twenty thousand dollars’ worth of family
groceries Inst year and never lost but two dol
lars and forty-live cents. Wo ship man
ganese across the ocean and to
Carnegie, in I'cnnsyivauia. We ship yellow
ochre to New York and iron ore to Tennessee.
The fact is wo have enough minerals hero to
keep s,<:od hands busy for a hundred years. I
see that a 'Tallapoosa boomer says in an inter
view Hint Im found more oro at Tallapoosa
than l.e did at ( artersville. Well, I am not
going to .slander 'Tallapoosa. That New York
ill raid man told enough lies on her to do for
awhile, but there is more iron ore in
oiio hill in Bartow than there is within twenty
mile, of Tallapoosa. Bartow is tho great
reserve, tiie mineral .storehouse, and it is the
granary, too. Wo make more grain than any
i Utility in the stale, more, in quantity ami more
to the*acre. Our taxpayers return their lands
nt a higher rate per acre than any county in
tliestate. Wehavo more rivers and creeks and
bridges and mills than any county. We have
most everything that anybody wants. Why, 1
saw four men from Rome over hero yesterday
with their dogs and guns, camo over hero to
find game. Our doctors piny backgammon
luilf their time, mid the sexton is so poor he
can’t go to a circus. Neither epidemics nor
contagions can live hero, for it is a round,
rolling country, with drainage in every valley
and rich valleys between all the hills. There
are seven streams and five springs
mid a creek upon my little farm
of 2(H) acres. A traveler can stop and water
his horse every two or three miles, if ho wants
to. Wo hase a street railroad that splits the
town in the middle, and runs from Rogers to
Stegalls and from Stegalls to Rogers, with ten
trains a day —not a horse car line, nor a dum
my, but a sure enough steam lino, with a pal
ace car attachment. Wo can go anywhere
v.c winh to as Cheap as wo inn stay at
homo mid do it in less time. We have tho
best weekly paper iii tin; state excepting those
that uro hotter than it is mid J don't know
where they are. If any friendly man away up
among the blizzards wants to come south
cither for good hcaltli or good morals, let him
send a dollar to the Courant-Amorican and lie
can loam all about old Bartow and Cartors
vlllo But lie needn’t como if ho is opposed
tn Mr. Lamar's confirmation. We don't want
that sort of cattle.
We. are getting choice of our company now.
We don't care a eent whether a man is a repub
lican or not. He won't bo so very long after he
gets lure. It is astonishing how soon a north
ern mun becomes a southerner after ho has
lived here awhile. It is not put on either, for
they were tried during the war -sorely tried. 1
was sorry ter them mid would have given them
n kind farewell if they bad gone hack, but tiiey
wouldn't go. 1 was thinking about Captain
Dwinell, wlmdieil in Rome the other day,(and
1 w anted them to pay a tribute to his memory.
With p:»r< nts and brothers, mid sisters mid
kindu d till up in Maine, where lie was born
a id reared, lie w as among tile first to shoulder
his musket in defense of his adopted land.
For tom- years he served in tho field and
rose to bo tiie captain of bls company,
tlio “Homo Light Guards,” and whatever may
litivo Ihh ii his failing ho never went back on
tiie south. There were thousands like him all
over tiie land. Indeed Ido not know of one
who left us for tho other side.
All wo ask of our northern brothern is that
they bo tolerant mid considerate of our
feelings mid principle# and they must be
willing for tlio south to have a fair share of
all the oillees ami spoils. Wo believe Unit Jef
ferson D.ivis is just as good and as great a
man as Mr. Lamar, and Mr. Lamar as good
mid as great ns the best man north. That is
what w o believe anil we don't care who know s
it. Miss Winnio Davis is just ns much a
queen a- Mrs. Clovekind and sho may bo in
the White House yet before she dies—who
knows?
But come along down hero to Car
tersville and wo will talk it all
over and it yon don't like uswe will let you
go back again. One thing is certain—our
folks me not going to move up north—no not
e.en tho niggers they know who tiro their
friends.
M e Lave got a great big meeting hoesn Imre
tliilt i. called il tils rue !e where all denomi
inations v. rship togetl,, r. Os course we have
separate churches, with high fences all around,
so Unit tiie stn-ep o< one flock can't got over

tli.it i .their families do but we keep Sum

us nil good down south, and those
boys can come down SoXith and
get anything we have got. Wo want kind
Words and good will. M ith these, and these
only, tin north c.m break up the solid south.
It is their infernal, nover-endiiig hate that
keeps us solid. As long as they elect our slan

peace. We lute Mr. Cleveland more tlian

INSANITY A N lIS Ft[Cll> E.
Public Men Driven to Death by Strange Fan
< los Iteiiiinlscvnceh--Ex-Scn:itor Jones.
Washington, December 23. - -The s td stories
recently wired from Detroit relating to ex-
I nited States; Senator Charles W. Jon' -, of
Florida, have excited mingled pity ami com
ment. Three years ago Senator Jone,.rasa
conspicuous figure in national affairs in Wash
ington. Physically lie was a giant; intellectu
ally ho towered above many of his senatorial
colleagues. Ho. was a type of dignity. His
ability as a lawyer was conceded, ami as an or
ator lie had few peers in tiie senate. Moreover,
he was popular with his colleagues and thepct
of the Irish-American element throughout the
country.
Senator Jones has been the builder of his
own fortune and his misfortunes as well. He
was horn in Ireland in 1834, and catne to tins
country when a boy of 10. He learned the trade
of carpentry, which he followed for years,
meanwhile studying law in Pensacola, Fla. He
was admitted to the bar in 1857. He became a
successful lawyer. In 1875 he was elected I'ni
ted States Senator and re-elected in 1881. Two
years ago lie went to 1 tetroit, whore he mot
Miss Palms, a beautiful heiress, with whom he
became infatuated. He is a widower.
His unsuccessful suit for her hand, his eccen
tricities and his financial difficulties are of too
recent date to call for more than a passing
reference. Ho has never returned to Washing
ton since, and ho left his state only parti; rep
resented in the senate up to March 4 last, v, hen
his term expired.
The senator's infatuation for Miss Palms
was so great that lie refused to leave Detroit
and return to Florida even when begged to do
so by political admirers whodesired bis re-elec
tion to the United States senate, says tho New
York Journal, lie is a changed man; poor,
homeless, and practically
DBI'KNbENT ON CHARITY.
He imagines himself tho victim of a conspira
cy of politicians. His friends hope to be able
to take him back to Florida, where, under
proper care and familiar surroundings, ho may
become himself again.
The senator’s present unhappy condition re
calls tho fate of many well known congress
men and senators whoso closing years were
blighted and who ended brilliant careers in a
violent manner.
James J. AVilson, of New Jersey, was succes
sively clerk of the legislature, editor, state ad
jutant-general and United States senator. His
mind became unbalanced, and one night, im
agining his house was on fire, he jumped out
of tho window and was badly injured. He
died two years later—July, 1824.
Congressman Robert Porter, North Carolina,
was tho husband of a beautiful woman, of
whom he was intensely jealous. His jealousy
developed in to insanity,ami henearly murdered
two of his wife’s cousins, who had called to
pay a friendly visit, August 28,1831. He was
sent to prison and fined SI,OOO. He afterward
went to Texas, where he was killed in a brawl.
Williams. Ramsey, of Carlisle, Penn., was
elected to congress when only 28 years old. Ho
served in the twenty-sixth congress, and was
re-elected to the succeeding one. The day after
his re-election he received a letter, the contents
of which ho never revealed, lie became a
changed man, and ended his bright career with
a bullet in a hotel in Baltimore in October,
1840. Ho was only .30 years old.
In a lit of mental aberration John White, of
Kentucky, killed himself at Richmond, Ky.,
in September, 1815. Ho was congressman for
10 years, and speaker of the Twenty-seventh
congress.
Congressman Felix G. McConnell represent
ed Alabama from December 4,1843, to Sep
tember 10, 1810, when lie, cut his throat in a
Washington hotel. The death of a devoted
friend had driven him to
BRINK AND INSANITY,
witli the result noted.
Jesso Thomas, of Illinois, was it, western
pioneer, a congressman and a Untied States
senator for 10 years. The secret persecutions
of n political enemy unsettled his season, and
he cut his throat at Mount Vernon, 0., Febru
ary 3, 1850.
United States Senator Thomas J. Rusk, of
Texas, committed suicide at Nacogdoches,
Tex., in July, 185(>. He had been a successful
lawyer, a brave soldier, bad fought for Texan
independence, served as chief justice of the
state, mid was United States senator for 10
years. Mental infirmity drove him to the deed
which ended ids eventful career.
Eduard Curtis was a noted politician in his
time. He represented New York city in con
gress from 1827 to 1841, when President Har
rison appointed him collector of tiie port. The
treachery of some political friends turned his
brain mid lie died in Now York, after a linger
ing illness, in August, 1856.
tn his time few public men were hotter
known than Edward A. Hannegan,of Indiana.
He served in the state legislature, in congress,
mid was a United States senator for six years.
Ho was afterward minister to Prussia. One
night in IS.’>2, during a drunken brawl, lie killed
his brother-in-law, a Captain Dunean. Politi
cal intluoiice saved him, but ho removed to
Missouri. He was a changed man, and ho
brooded over tiie tragedy until ids mind was
affected. He died in St. Louis, February
25,18511.
Alfred P. Stone, who had served Ohio in
congress, was appointed internal revenue col
lector for tho Columbus district. He was after
ward found to be a defaulter. Maddened by
his disgrace, and fearing the penalty of his
crime, he disappeared August 1,1865. Ho
WAS FOUND HEAD NEXT DAY
cn the graves of his two children. He had
poisoned liimsclf.
Twenty-two years ago Preston King weighted
himself down with Iron and stones, and jumped
from a ferryboat into the North river. He was
drowned. He had served four vears in congress
mid represented New York in the United States
senate. Three months before ho ended his life
President Johnson appointed him collector of
tho port. Senator King, it is said, was insane
at tho time he committed suicide.
Jams IL Lane was another unfortunate.
Fortune hud been kind to him and he was lieu
tenant governor of Indiana, congressman and
United States senator from Kato.is. AVliile
laboring under a tit of insanity he -hot himself
at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., July 11. 1866. He
was a senator at the time.
!■ iumieial trouble and ill health preyed upon
tho mind of John I>. Ashmore, av, ell known
South Carolina politician (who represented his
state tn tiie Thirty-six th congress), until ho be
came irresponsible. Ho ended his misery nt
Dar i's. Miss., December, 1871, by shooting
himself.
Obadiah Browne of Staten island, a prince
ton graduate, was sent to cougre-- when only
2r y. ars old, in 1850, He was afterward quar
rent me commissioner and a Lin.,’.n presiden
tial elector. Family troubles drove him to
i.rmk. lie squandered his fortune and became
destitute.
TROUBLE, DRIXK AND WANT
turned his head and lie pvisimed 1 .mself with
opium on April 27, 1861, at some place on Sta
ten island.
There are many men in this eitv who re
member congress uau David B. M 'ilish. He
worked as a proof reader and report- r for years.
Ho was stenographer for 10 years. ..nd then ap
praiser of the port. Ho was elected to the
rorty-th.rd congress, but served only a few
months. He had become insane, and died May
23, 1874, In tiie government hospital for tho in

SHAKING AGAIN.
Shocks of Earthquake on the
Atlantic Coast.
PEOPLE STARTLED FROM SLUMBER
Savannah, Ga., January 12.—[Special.]—
An earthquake shock disturbed late sleepers
iin Savannah at 9;30 this morning. Buildings
I swayed slightly, glass rattled, tho walls moved
: perceptibly, anil there was a general ru-h for
| the doors.
The wind was high and the first clatter of
tho windows was mistaken by some, but when
tiie floors began to vibrate, and that peculiar
sensation which only an earthquake can pro
duce, started up people’s legs, they involunta
rily felt an impulse to run for the street. No
rumbling was observed in the city, but it was
heard in the country. At the wharves of the
Ocean .Steamship company, the shock was
plainly felt by all of the employes. At first it
was thought that a ship had struck the wharf.
In tiie Central railroad shops, the workmen
dropped their toolsand made for the door. In
the telephone exchange tiie lady operators cut
off every subscriber for half a minute. A
score of people in relating their experience,
told how they ran for doorways, arches and
staircases. The shock lasted between five and
ten seconds. It was over before men got out
of their offices, anil must have been of short
duration. Usually some glassware is broken,
but none was reported. The shock is what
would havo been called a slight one fifteen
months ago.
Columbia, S. C., January 12.—A sharp
earthquake shock, the first in many months,
startled the citizens of Columbia at 9:55 this
morning. Buildings were severely shaken,
and doors, windows, crockery and glassware
rattled in a lively manner. ‘ People sleeping
wore rudely awakened, and many rushed into
the streets. Tiie direction of the wave seemed
to bo from north to south. The vibrations con
tinued about ten seconds, and were accompa
nied by load detonations.
Charleston, S. C., January 12.—Tho earth
quake shock this morning was generally felt
throughout tho. coast country and as far’ west
as Augusta. No damage has been reported at
any place.
Dispatches tonight show that the earth
quake shock this morning was felt at Summer
ville, Georgetown, Conway, Beaufort and New
berry.
Wilmington, N. C., January 12.—A sharp
earthquake shock was felt here tliis morning
at about 10 o'clock No damage done.
Rochester, N. Y., January 12.—Since noon
of Monday, January 9th, the’ magnetic needle
has been much disturbed at intervals. There
was a marked disturbance Wednesday evening
about 8:30 o’clock. During the forenoon of
Thursday there was a rapid motion, and be
tween eleven and twelve there were indica
tions of a severe magnetic storm. Tiie motion
of tiie heavy needle, a foot long, was a degree
and three-quarters. This extreme agitation
followed tiie earthquake at Columbia, S. C.
H. C. Maine, of this city, reports the appear
ance of an extended group of sun spots on
Monday and Tuesday by the sun's rotation. It
is the group which first appeared itr the same
way December 13th and 14th. Since January
9th there have been very rapid anil extreme
fluctuations of barometic pressure.
The way to make money is to save it. Hood's
Sarsaparilla is the most economical medicine
to buy, as it is tiie only medicine of which can
truly be said, “100 doses one dollar.” Do not
take any other preparation if you have decided
to buy Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
LOST IN TIIE SNOW.
School Children Attempt to Go Homo Dur
ing a Storm.
St. Paul, Minn., January 12.—Railroad
men agree that the storm of today is the worst
ever known in tiie northwest for their business.
It extends from the Rocky Mountains to Lake
Michigan, but its worst effects are felt in Da
kota ami Minnesota. Everywhere it has been
accompanied by high winds, which drifts the
snow badly, anil in northern Dakota, with a
below zeto temperature, it assumes tho char
acter of a genuine blizzard. The railroads had
hardly finished clearing their tracks from the
previous storm, and that of today has abso
lutely blocked ail small roads, though through
lines are battling bravely with the elements to
keep trains moving. Trains on roads to
Chicago are one to nine hours late, but all the
main lines are still open and eastern trains left
as usual tonight. All freights on the Northern
Pacific and Manitoba lines havo been aban
doned, ami no passenger trains were sent out
on those roads tonight. The Kansas City train
on the Omaha line was also abandoned. Super
intendent Egan, of tiie Manitoba, says its pas
senger trains are laid up at stations where
there is plenty to cat. The St. Paul and
Duluth is trying to keep its main line open,but
has abandoned tho branches.
A special from Huron, Dak., says the wind
is blowing fifty miles an hour. The air is so
full of snow that one Is unable to see fifty feet
at any time. Some unthinking teachers dis
missed young school children, some of whom
11ad to go over live blocks across open land.
Five or six children got lost. Whistles were
blown, bells rung and people turned out and
took long ropes and walked fifteen or twenty
abreast back and forth over the ground. They
have found two, but the others have not yet
been discovered. Tho mercury is four degrees
below zero, And has fallen tweiity-eight degrees
since 10 o’clock.
Bismarck reports that children who started
for school were forced to turn back by the fury
of the storm.
A Pierre, Dakota, special says the wind is
blowing sixty miles an hour, and it is impossi
ble to see fifteen feet. Tiie trains are snow
bound at Ree Heights, and there is a reported
collision between two freights at the same
point,
Groton, Dakota, reports the wind blowing a
gale, tho mercury 20 degrees below, and impos
sible to see more than two rods.
Another Man at Last is Rewarded.
David C. Moacon is tiie lucky man that held
one-tenth of ticket No. 69,368 which drew the
Second Capital Prize of $50,000 from tlio
monthly drawing of Tlio Louisiana State T,ot
tory, November Bth. It was iiis first venture,
and conies as a God-send to Mr. Meacon, as lie
was depending on his daily labor to support his
family. His former residence was m Pitts
burg. The night before he was to ship his
household goods to this place a fire occurred
anil burned everything. He is a worthy and
exemplary man.—Elwood, Ind., Free Press,

Atlanta a Wet Town,
From the Chicago HvralJ.
That Atlanta should have voted for prohibi
tiuu two years ago and should now repudiate prohi
bition by a majority of 1,100 in the county is in itself
peculiar, It shows the presence of a voting popula
tion easily swayed, evrn where groat principles are
involved. To urge prohibition on a large commu
nity implies a strong conviction on the part of the
proponent. Be deals with a body of urban people
who are in every way dissimilar froni ogricultur
i ts. The nervous, eccentric, cosmopolitan and self
willed congregate in cities, the use of liquors
medicinally and industriously is largo, and the id ci
of personal liberty is greatly exploited. Ordinarily,
if a large community should once approve the sys
tem of total abstinence, it w’quld not be possible to
alter their convictions iu two years. And lu a com
munity where a result so strange has been accom
plished it is easy to discern to what heat and bit
terness the campaign must nave attained. The
i iv J war put the ballot into the hands 6f the colored
race. Their U'O of that fanTilse has placed the
south iu n s t tation that no northern state has ever
Occupied. Tle late triumphof the auti-probibition
faction in the Atlanta demo racy Is a foretaste of
w hat might happen If the two great parties should
at any time reach a numerical fmci nearly equal.
In Atlanta, in two years, there has been
a d ft'ereuce of 1." 0 in majorities, the pro
hibitlonts s baring carried tho day by too

V. ONDERFUL FLORIDA.
An Interesting Letter from the Land of
Flowers.
Ja< ksonvillf, I'la.. liccetnber "o.—[Special
Correspondence to the Consititution.] —If ever
statement found justification in fact, certainly
that mucli-abuscd Horace Greeley proverb,
“Southward thestar of empire takesits flight,”
is proven by the wonderful work of Florida.
Those who have heretofore imagined that the
peninsular state was a section covered with
wate r and morass, snakes and alligators, should
come here now, a few years after the great in
flux of the tide of prosperity has set in, dnd
find their opinions altered beyond recognition.
For my part, I presume I was not unlike the
average Georgian in myopinion of Florida, for
I had always .believed' tho alligator the chief
product of the state. And while it is true that
this ferocious amphibious animal was here at
the beginning, lie is also here to stay, for the
progress of modern times lias made him most
valuable as a commercial commodity . His
ivory tectli are now used as ornaments to hang
pendant from the ear and throat of queen and
princess, while his iiidc is tanned into leather
that is worn on the feet of men ami women the
world over. The wild wastes of palmettos that
are everywhere prevalent in Florida, no longer
rot their substance in tho sun as tiie seasons go
by, but the valuable fibre is turned into pulp
from which the paper is made that The Con
stitution and other great newspapers of the
day are printed on. The thousands of tons of
pine needles that every year for centuries have
covered tiie pine lands of. the state, are now
converted into a rich product, and the fibre is
woven into elegant carpets, rags and mattings,
on which tho poet walks as he turns his com
munings with the muses into verse forhun.an
ity.and on which royalty receives its guests in
silks and satins. But if those tilings be valua
ble, what must he said of tiie other products of
Florida? While tiie terrapin farms of Mary
land find their counterpart in the alligator
ranches of Florida, there are other resources I
hero which promise to make this one of the I
great states of tiie American union. As grad
ually as the world can understand what there
is here, opinions are changing, and the change
is rapidly forming. Walking along the streets
a day or two ago, with Dr. Fairly, an accom
plished Scotcli gentleman, secretary of the
board here, I asked:
“How do you people live in this sand?”
“Sand,” replied tlio doctor; “why that isn’t
sand.”
“Well, it looks like it; what is it?”
“Weil, sir, this soil, or sand, as you call it,
forms the basis for the finest agricultural soil in
the world. There isn’t any sand here, and very
littie in the interior of Florida. This soil con
tains only from two to five per cent of silicia,
and it would not make a pane of glass in ten
years’ efforts. Iu no respect is tiie newcomer
to Florida more likely to be mistaken than in
tiie soil, if he bases his opinion upon appear
ances, and compares it with tho soils of other
regions with which he has been acquainted.
To thoroughly understand the character of any
soil, tiie constituents of which it is composed
must be known, and for that purpose account
must be taken of its geological formation and
derivation. The unnumbered ages that have
passed since tiie azoic rocks were separated
from the atmospheric vapors, and tho waters
on tlio earth’s surface havo been working
changes. Earthquakes and convulsions havo
raised tiie highest mountains and continents
from beds of oceans heated hotter than the
waters of the Mexican gulf even into the Arc
tic circle; excessive colds have sent Green
land’s glaziers down to the valleys of tho Ohio
and Potomac, carrying gigantic rocks, gravels,
sandsand tlio clays over the Canadas and
northern states; the eroding powers of rains
and rivers, greater than those known at tiie
present day, have deposited gravel, sand and
mud on tiie siiores of oceans, anil the grinding
forces of waves, and tiie growth and decay of
vegetations, through tho unknown periods of
geological ages, since before the carbonaceous
periods, must all be considered in making es
timates upon tho soils of Florida. All these
causes have contributed to the soils of this
state, and, as with tiie climate, heterogeneity
is tho rule. With tlio proper treatment this
soil will produce, with its basis of phosphate
and other fine fertilizing properties crops equal
to the marl and mucky bottoms of the Mis
souri and Mississippi.
Earth has but one Florida, and that is ours.
One peninsula in all of the earth is washed on
the west, south and east by tiie greatest, wann
est of ail rivers, “tiie great River of the
Ocean;” but one region in America, one place
in all of earth over which devastating cyclones
and tornadoes do not pass, carrying death and
destruction in their paths; but one semi-tropi
cal land over which siroccoes do not blow and
parch; but ono habitant for plants, animals
and men that is daily fanned by ocean breezes,
and where men every day breath.e balsamic
odors from plants, trees and flowers; whose
equal tempered atinosp’iira is health—that
peninsula is Florida. It is the best inheritance
bequeatiied by the Father to His children, long
reserved, but revealed at this last day, possess
ing treasures such as none of her sister states
possess, or can secure.
Florida is incomparable with all other coun
tries and regions. Some would compare it with
Italy. There can bo no comparison except by
contrast. Italy is a region of hills and moun
tains, snow-capped during a large part of the
year ; Florida is nearly a plain, and iu most of
it snow was never seen, and nowhere lies.
Italy is swept by cold mountain winds in winter,
driving men and beast to liyemal quarters, and
by hot, relaxing siroccoes in summer; Florida
is free from both of these extremes. Italy is
often parejiod with droughts, making irriga
tion a necessity to the growth of vegetation.
Florida has rains well distributed throughout
the year. Italy is a peninsula extending into
the Mediterranean sea, whose waters ate no
warmer than tho ocean in the same latitude.
Florida is also a peninsula, but extends into
tho warmest portion of the ocean; and on the
border of the trade winds, its breezes are tem
pered by tho genial equability of the gulf
stream.
Spain and tho Grecian Isles compare with
Italy as to climate and productions. California
compares favorably with Italy in its snow
capped mountains, winds and droughts, in its
dry plains and needed irrigation, in rushing
torrents and dry arroyos. If her panegyrists
choose, they may compare that state to Italy,
and call her tho “Italy of America.” But
Florida stands alone; no place can bo com
pared to her. Heterogeneous Florida; when
attempts are made at comparison, they degrade
rather than elevate her. Her highest praise is
to call her by her own Beautiful Castilian
name, Florida. Italy would rejoice could she
bo the Florida of Europe. She never Can. No
country can be like Florida, and she needs no
gems borrowed from another's crown.
Death of James Noble.
Mr. James Noble died at his residence in
Anniston, Ala., after an illness of only a fort
days. Mr. Noble was a remarkable man in
many respects. lie was born in Cofiiwall,
England, in 1805, and came to America fifty
five years ago ana settled in Reading, Pa.,
where ho established foundry and machine
work', which were twice destroyed by fire and
once by xi'ater. In 1855 he went to Rome, Ga.,
where ho again embarked in the iron business,
associating with him three of his sons. When
tho war came on ho made cannon for the con
federacy. and his works were entirely destroyed
by tho federal arniy during Sherman's ftiaroh.
Mr. Noble also lost his two furnaces at Cedar
Bluff, Ala., which were destroyed by the fed
orals. He was in his eighty-second year and
iu full possession of all his faculties.
Dismissed the Indictments.
Memphis enjoyed somewhat of a sensation,
caused uy the dismissal of eighty-two indict
ments pending against President D. P. Had
den, Fire and Police Commissioner Janies Lee,
Councilmap John F Randle. County Trustee
A. J. Harris, and Wharfmaster Patrick Kal
lalian. by Judge J. J. Dußosc. without the
knowledge of those gentlemen. The gentlemen
w ere accused of appropriating money to their
own use, but aS the Hadden ticket was over
whelmingly re-electcda . wdays ago tiie oppo
nents of the ticket concluded that Hadden and
his associates had accounted for the money
and had not appropriated to their own use one
cent; hence the indictments were dismissed.
“Blood Will Tell."
Yes, the old adage is right, but if tho I’vcr is
disordered and the blood becomes thereby cor
rupted, the bad “blood will tell" in diseases of
the skin and throat, in tumors and ulcers, and i
tubercles in tiie lungs (first stages of consump
