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 each. Near by Is a large open structure, suggest lug an unfinished saw-mill. This Is being fitted up with n gang of naws that will saw the large blocks of marble into suitable sizes and shapes.

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 -acceded our highest expectation* The chemical that he was an experienced orator as well as a [ J' ttrd on thc very spot where to-day's dinner was forcible, pleasing one. I eaten, for tho purpose of developing these very Mr. L. B. Bane, of Chicago, another stockholder J quarries, and of building a road to them. The her of the state legislature, keep* 8L Jacob* a unto of uidgnesia. without a trace of anything In jurious. Gentlemen, I thank you for your atten- 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.

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 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 ever used in bodily ailment*. elegant grace of delivery and fine diction of the year* aga he and Judge MeCay. George Phillip*, speaker having created the universal impression Judge Brown and other* had met in Mr. Tale???* work was postponed, but the faith of the party 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 Georgia marble company, who j??erfected the rangement* for the trip, aud amid general gossip aud cross-tiring the.special train pulled into the good city, aud a day that was thoroughly enjoya ble uud delightful was at an end.
