What an Interested Part* Were Shown Yesterday
in tbeHilliof Pickens-A Rerasrkable Speech
to Georgians from a Prominent Chicago-
lan-Wbat Stockholders Promise,
"We liavc conic from Cmcago for the purpose
showing you Georgians what you'have here in
Georgia!"
Now, surely, that waa Chicago assurance! And
yet the speaker, Mr. Clement, did not iook like
man of insurance???hardly like a Chicagoan.
Modest even to shyne*^ quiet, self-contained, de
corous looking, he spoke firmly, but respectfully.
He was backed by a crowd of gentlemen, who, in
stead of putting on bold faces about It, looked
pafuvd and sorrowful to think that they had been
compelled to come os new Moaea to lead our own
people to our own promised land. An Immense
hamper of delicacies steered by Colonel Ben Ab
bott passed by the hesitating crowd. Rumors of
a barbecue, savor)' In themselves, came floating
down from the mountains. The day was perfect,
the company wus amiable and anxious, and there
fore Uie Atlantiaus laid their horny hands trust
ingly in the hands of the Chicagoans and were
led about as little children through the land of
their fathers.
A REMARKABLE SPEECH AND A FINE ONE.
1/31 us suppose the crowd at Tate???s station,
forty-four miles above Atlanta. At the station
buggies, wagons and carriages were waiting to
carry the guests to the marblo quarry, perhaps
mile and a half away. In a cool and beautiful
valley, made up of land worth 1100 an acre for
agricultural purposes, Is ??ituated an engine, with
stcain chills, cutting its way through solid earth of
marble, and hewing out blocks of several touN

up with n gang of naws that will saw the large

1 need not tell you gentlemen of Georgia that a
kind providence has been exceedingly bountiful
in his gifts to your people, lu the untold wealth
and excellence is exceeded by no other state; In
the wealth of your magnificent forests; In the
most wonderful richness of your mineral deposits.
And I will venture tho assertion that a
large majority of your citizen* have but a fraction
of nn anprcclatioN of tho magnitude and extent
of the marvelous riche* that Ho yet untouched
within tho liorden of your noble state. Our ob
jeet lu Inviting you on this excursion to-day Is that
you may see with your own eye* and appreciate
farts tbut you never could realize through an;
other source. ??? Wo wish to
your attention to one of your cholcost and rlt
treasures. One In which, I am most happy to
my associates and tuyself have become most *
ly Interested in jlcvcloplr
oiie of lie highest and El
lion and art through all past history. The ^
the grandeur, the beauty of ancient rJUtoi
to-day are their bnHdiugs, their monuments,
their statuary and design* In marble. No other
jdaeo on this oontinent can show such a vast
ijunuUty ol beautliul marble, In such variety of
quality and colors, as here in this valley awaits
human enterprise and skill to utilize It for tho
benefit of mankind. -1 will give you a few Items
and figures thnt will assist you, I trust, In weigh
ing ami estimating the extent of the riches of
this ouc product of your great state, that
is destined to fill n very liii|>ortAiit page in Its fu
ture history. l???p and down this llttlo valley for a
distance??f wine five or six miles we find vns,
deposit* of nmrble, some in stratified layers am
some In Rreat solid masses, we find
uearly all the varieties known to the markets
of this country, comprising pure white statuary,
fine .white, with lines and figure* of blue,
beside* this beautiful erystallzcd. in
a variety of eolor* that cannot be approached lu
exeelleueo and beauty oti this continent. Now,
^ H to your m
this erystallzcd marble, ono
and one-half mile* In length, half
a mile in breadth, bf an unknown
depth, but supposed to bo many hundred feet,
overlapped on the opposite side of the creek by
I tmtilU-d layers of fine white and vnrigated blue.
4 us fora moment dare to plaro figures to this
immense mass. One am! one-half mile* hy one-
half mile gives twenty one millions
square feet. Ono block *lx feet thick
from otniils surface would yield one hundred
ami twenty-six millions cubic feet of marble.
You require, gentlemen, for the construction of
your state capitol build-ug aliout one hundred
and fifty thousand cubic feet. New York city.t???hica-
go and Atlanta could all be rebuilt from this one
mass and leave millions of cubic feet untouched.
All the tests we have put upon It have more than

Mou ami will not detain you lunger.
The speech, amazing a* It* statements arc, car
ried conviction to every hearer. Asldo from Mr.
Clcmcut'i high character as a man of Integrity,
and cautiour s;??eceh, his deliberate and earnest
manner showed that be spoke only what he kucw
to t>c the exact truth from careful investigation.
At the dose of the s]wcch Mr. Kfuzcy asked what
number of ears It would require to transport the
marble computed.
Mr. Frank A. siddall, of Philadelphia, one of the
largest stockholder* lu the company, replied
quickly:
Allowing 18,000 pounds to the car, which Is
good allowance for a narrow gauge rood, it would
require over ouc milllou ears to carry one foot of
marbte off the surface of what
in this valley, and this is uot one-fourth
of the tnablebeds we ow n.??????.
A TALK WITH MR. I??. K. IIILI.,
Mr. Hill, of the firm of Willoughby A Hill, the
great clothiers of t'hicago, who arc also largely in-
-rested in the Georgi* marble company,
Mr. Clement???s statemeut* are revelation to
your people, and yet they arc carefully studied,
and are in fact below the real facts of the case. It
capable of proof that a strip of marble one foot
eep, off the marble bed ir.cloaed in this valley,
iiild rebuild of marble the entire cities of
Iticago. N??-w York and Atlanta. When we con-
J??*r that this enormous bed is but one-fourth of
possession, aud that its depth is unknown,
may imagine what we have."
**Whuti?? your opinion of the depth of the de
posit?*???
No marble quarry of considerable extent ho*
yet been bottomed. In Vermont they have goo
to tuofect deep, and the quality of the marble
improves the deeper they go. There is apparently
ml to it. Over $30,000,WO, worth of marble
ha* been taken out of the Vermont quarries with-
the past tew years. This give* you an Idea of
what wc may do here. Mr. Clement was entirely
within the bounds wheu he said that In extent
d variety there was no marble deposit in the
world to compare with thi*. By the way, that
was the first speech he ever trade. Pretty food for
first effort, wasn???t It?"
Oil. the great pnin-cura, on the family shelf, There wo* a hearty chorus of assent to this, the
and say* ha consider* it the greatest remedy ' elegant grace??
in the company, said: ' With our machinery here
completed we con cut out and saw 300 cubic feet
of marble daily. We propose to do this and ship
samples doily to every city In the country,
shall ask the leading dealers to work it up and as
certain the quality and adaptability of the mar
ble we offer them. Am the demand Is created
we will enlarge our machinery aud increase our
product. We expect within the next year or two
to have 10 or 12 engine* and 300 men at work in
this valley. We have Just finished a survey of $
railroad, running seven miles, which wc will
build a* soon a* we need it."
"Will you do the finishing of the marble here?'
"Ob, no! We will simply saw out the rough
blocks here, have a factory in Atlanta where wo
will cut the block* into such sizes and shapes ns
are wanted, do the polishing, and turn them Into
standard shapes, such ns urns, vases, step*, etc.
This will employ several hundred inen, aud give
Atlanta a new and extensive industry. We shall
also make Atlanta our headquarter* for the sale
and distribution of our marble."
HOW THE GEORGIA MARRI.E COMPANY WAS FORMED.
Tbo Georgia hiarble company is due, primarily,
to the enterprise and sagacity of Mr. Frank II.
Siddall, a Philadelphia millionaire, who lias made
a fortune by the sale of Frank Slddall???s soaps,
which have become standard the continent over.
He had surplus money for Investment,
and his eye* were turned toward
south. Mr. Dewar, a friend
Mr. Siddall, had been south andfooked into the
marble quarries of north Georgia and testified,
an expert, that they were rich beyond comparison
and of exhaustlcfs supply. Mr. Siddall became
Interested, and one day while traveling west met
Mr. Clement as a casual fellow-traveler. They
learned each other???s names, and fell to talking on
business. Mr. Blddall mentioned the Georgia mar
ble quarries, which atonce caught Mr. Clement's
attention, a* ho was conversant with the enor
mous fortunes made out ol marble in Vermont.
The result was that they came to Georgia and
looked Into the mutter personally. The company
was at once made up. Sir. Hlddall says of It:
'Such wh* our confidence In the enterprise thnt
we took all the stock ourselves. Mr.H.C.Clement,
Mr. O. F. Bane, Mr. L. B. Banc, Mr. D. K. II111, Mr.
'. L. Willoughby, and Mr. N. L. Clement own
the Chicago block, and myself, Mr. H. Dewar
Mr. J. A. Dewar, Mr. C. M. Smith and Dr. G. R.
Starkey, the distinguished specialist, own the
'liiladclphia block. The whole stock Is $1,000,000.
We have never offered any of tho stock for sale and
will not do so. Our actual Investment* already go
beyond $.'>0,000 cash, and our railroad alone will add
this much more. We ask no money of any one,
cither here or elsewhere. We have tho largest and
best marblo property in tho world, wc have the
money to develop it with, and abundant confi
deuce in It. Wo honestly believe that tho new in
dustry we are giving to Georgia will be the largest
single enterprise within her borders, and of course,
that it will be immensely profitable to us."
LOOKING OVER THE MARBLE FIELDS.
Tbo marblo lies as a rule from two to eight feet
below the surface of the earth. Excavation* bnd
l??ecti made in a score of places,
and everywhere, without exception, solid
marble was struck. A hole was
drilled In tho marble and a blast put in it. Tht
explosion always showed that tho bed of marble
was solid and deep. Several creeks ran through
the valley and ran over solid marble all the way.
hugo spring issued from beneath a huge tree
and poured over solid marble. From the spring
the creek were huge ledge* of erystallzcd mar
ble, on which the party of fifty or more stood with
out crowding. Beneath the waters of the creek
the marble gleamed constantly. From all appear
ances, Indeed to clear demonstration, tho entire
valley rested on a solid marble bed, buried uuder
coating of soil, washed off near the creek, more
iVts, thkn'cl*owhere. Mr. CTewtent saldi ???
"Tills valley comprises hordly onc-fourth of the
marblo bed wc own. And yet
when wc go north and show our samplo of marble,
the people say, "Certainly they are exquisite, but
you can???t get such marble in quantity lu the
south. Wo hare hail hundreds of southern mar
blcs shown us by specimen, but It always turns
out that the quantity is lacking. You gentlemen
can decide whether or not we hnvo tho quantity
here to back your specimens."
A DINNER UNDER OAK TREES.
After the survey of the valley was completed
tho company adjourned to the residence of Mr.
William Tate, where several tables were set In
the open air, under the shadow of giant oak trees.
To tho left of the tables stretched a valley of
prising beauty. The table* were handsomely dec
orated with flower* and fruit aud a bevy of young
ladle* were In attendance, disposing the hospi
tality of tho day. Fred Mama, the well know
catorer, occupied a large stone dairy at the rear of
the tables from which naiads, sandwiches, Ices u;id
punch issued regularly. Tho dinner
was such a ono as north Georgia-
can get up when sho puts her hand; to it, and
keenly enjoyed.
Colonel G. W. Adair, who knows a thing when
a secs It, seized upon a special ham and said: "Ah,
this Is what I like. An old-fadiioncd atnokhouse
ham. I can actually taste the flavor of the hickory
ashes in which it was cured." "It is a good ham.
said Mr. Tate. "I had It scut up from Atlanta
thi* morning. It came in canvass from Chicago.'
The dinner over, ex-Mayor English waa made
master of ceremonies, and order being establish
ed, Governor McDaniel was called for and nude
aspeech full ol common sense. Mr. II. W. Grady,
Mr. G. W. Adair aud Major Crane followed In a
few remarks, when the train was announced aud
the crowd took to the wagons again.
A TALK WITH MR. WM. TATE.
The development of the Tate marble quarries
makes the families of Wm. L. and 8. C. Tate rich,
They received in cush for one part of their prop
erty $23,500, and for the lease of the remaining
property |no,000 Instock, and they have beside,
and most Important, a perpetual royalty on every
cubic foot of marble that is taken from this prop
erty. Mr. William Tate said:
My father, Faniuel Tate, settled here In 183-land
believed from the first that these quarries would
develop some day Into a large property,
bought the outlying quarries a* fast as he could
and hq urged u* to do the same.He sald"they may
not make nie rich and they won???t make you rich,
but they will surely make your children rich."
8owe bought up the quarries gradually, and now
suppose father???s prediction is coining true,"
THE RIDE BACK TO THK CITY.
The ride to Atlanta from the mountain*
delightful. The scenery along the Marietta and
North Georgia i* flue and inspiring, the road it-
If is in excellent order and the ofllcers were
unremitting in their kindness. Observation
parties were formed, and th* scenery,
crop* aud village* diacuned as the train
whirled along. After Marietta had been passed a
meeting was organized. Messrs. Clement, Ilill
Bane, Siddall and Starkey escorted t*> Senator
Brown's special car, where General l???hll Cook pre
sided. The Hon. E. P. Howell was deputed to
return the thank* of tke visitors to the Georgia
marble company for the pleasure* of Jthe day. He
did this in handsome style, and assnred the
stranger* that they would meet the hearty co-op
eration aud sympathy of our people In their ef
fort* to develop the state.
General Cook said that if the state were to fail
now to build the capital, the advertisement given
resource* and the capital invited into her
border* by the discussion of the material for the
capital, would be worth a full million dollars to
tke state. He indorser! heartily what Oipuin
Howell bad said, and a*id no community on earth
waa more hospitably inclined to stranger* than
the people of Georgia.
Senator Brown added hh forcible indorsement
in a few pleasant remarks.
Ex-Governor Bullock recalled that fourteen

there assembled had never waned, and It was spe
cially gratifying to four of the five men who dU-
ux*ed thewe uchemes fourteen years ago to sec
them fulfilled to-day.
Colonel R. F. Maddox was called on as one of
the earliest friends of the Marietta and North
Georgia railroad, and responded in a few modest
words.
Thanks were returner! to Messrs. Kinzey, Egan
and Glover, of the Marietta and North Georgia
railroad, and to Messrs. Brown, Morrill, Anderson
and Dooly, of the Western and Atlantic railroad,
and to Messrs. Abbott & Smith, attorneys for the

broke out on my body until I was a mass of cor
ruption. Every thlug known to the medical faculty
waa tried In vain. I became a mere wreck. At
times could not lift my hands to my head, could
not turn in bed; was in constant pain, aud looked
upon life as a curse. No relief or cure In ten
years. In 18801 heard of the Cuticuba Remedies,
used them, and was perfectly cured.
