INVESTIGATION OF AN EXPERT Gladness Comes understanding of the W ith a better transient nature of the many phys ical ills, which vanish before pmj>ei ef forts—penile e (T ort s—pleasnn t e fforts— rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease. hut simply to n constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasnnt family laxative. Syrup of Kips, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millionsof families, and is -everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value pood health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it.is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without dobilitntinp the orpans on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to pet its bene ficial effects, to note when you pur chase. that you have the penuine :irti- •cle, which is manufactured by the Cnli- joria Tip Syrup Co. only and sold by i*Ui reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of pood health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands hiphest and is most larpely used and gives most pcneral satisfaction.

Mr. It unset I Howland Wn» Seat H«re to Sftcuro Data on the Gold Melt and Given Ills Opinion of the Outlook—Stnte Poli tics Quiet. —Variner, Should R»Im More Hog* and Beef. [Special Correspondence.] Atlanta, April 4.—“I predict that Georgia will ace within the next three years the greatest mining fever the world has ever witnessed.” “This state has the richest gold field known on the face of the globe today. There are mines in Nerth Georgia which are capable of producing $40,000,000 of gold a year. 1 believe that the record of the Comstock in Nevada will be ex ceeded by some of these Georgia mines, perhaps wHthin the next two years. Georgia is destined to bo the richest mining state in America.” This sounds like the dream of soma mine owner or dealer in mineral proper ties, does it not? But the remarkable statements were made by a buyer, and what makes it more astonishing, by au Englishman. He is ovor hero us an oxpert, making a thorough investigation of the Georgia gold field. Every one knows that the English are not enthusiasts when con sidering an investment. They are on tho other extreme—we consider them coldblooded. They want statistics. The Englishman must lmvo figures be fore he will listen to a business propo sition. To get data on the gold belt is the mission over here of Mr. Russell Howland of London. For the past two months Mr. Howland has been in and out of Atlanta, running off for a few days, coming back for a day or two and then off into the mountains again. There was a mystery about his move ments and it was not until yesterday that his real business developed. I have had two interviews with him and found him the best posted man on gold pro duction it has ever beou my fortune to meet. He is an expert and has a great mind for figures. He has made a close A urlpple ureoK man soia onr mere and has just come into Georgia. He says there is going to bo a big niob from there here before long. Tiilk of a New l*Hp«r. There is more talk of u now newspa per in Atlanta. This is an old story and seems to bo a cry of wolf made to seo if tho existing papers will be startled. But thev do not shy at the report any more. No doubt, there is room here for another paper and support for one, but it wonld take plenty of capital to put a paper on its feet. The oost of running daily hewspaper is not understood by the public. To make a paper good enough to compete with The Constitu tion of The Journal, would cost at least $1,000 a week. I was on the staff of a paper once which cost $2,000 a week steadily for a long time and it would not compare with the great papers of today. I have edited $50 to $75 worth of telegrams night after night and week after week. Some nights the specials wonld run up to $100, and I have known the bills for covering a state election to amount to an even $1,000 for just one night’s work. A political convention, a hurricane on the coast, bad railroad wreck or an im portant. trial at a distant point, adds a good figure to the telegraphic tolls. The cost of running a paper like the New York World is immense, far more than a million a year. An old New York Herald man told me the other day that the only complaint ho ever had whilo on that paper about his expense account was because he stopped ouoe at a $1.60 a day hotel in Chicago when he was attending a labor convention and the leaders were at the same house. Ho was informed when he got back that The Herald wanted its men to go to the best hotels when they were out of the city. The newspaper workers would be glad to see a new daily started here, and there aw> plenty of men who would assist in establishing it, but they would prefer that the backers of the enterprise start in with $500,000 capital. Calm In State 1’eliHc*. “Did you ever see things so quiet in politics?" remarked Comptroller Gen eral Wright today. “Here it is within two months of the primaries and hardly any talk of opposition to tho statehouse officers, with one or two exceptions.” “Perhaps it is tho calm before a storm,” said another. “For myself, I am always afraid of trouble when it is, so quiet on the eve of a campaign. Then it is time to look out for a cyclone.” It is true that not much is heard of I There is an _____ \ ABSOLUTE NECESSITY tor the High rtBde Kf°d_s jWch we | the market.

Apply tit this Food, undigested, is poison. Di gested, it is lilc and strength. Mil lions of us suffer from indigestion, but c.vc often don’t know from it. We ■think it is something else. Even doc tors often mistake the symptoms. Pale, thin people, who are over worked, who need strength, who seem in want of proper food, should take ’Shakers Digestive. Cordial. It is as tonishing what food will do, when prop erly digested. It will make you strong, revive you, refresh you, sustain you, make you fat, restore your color, make muscle, brain fibre, courage, endurance, energy; in crease your power to throw off disease and keep you healthy and happy. Indigestion does just the opposite, gold belt, and he is satisfied that there is a great future in mining in Georgia. It developed in these interviews that the English prefer a gold mine as an in vestment to anything else. They are after securing tho gold mines of the world, hence their attention t.> Georgia. Within a week or two there will be quite a party of London men oven- here. If they decide to invest at all, they will go in on a largo scale and will start off with a capital of $3,000,000. They have options on some of tho best lauds in the state and it looks as 1 hough they will buy and put up stamp mills. Tho vast fortunes made by Barney Barnato and his associates and others who wore not his associates in the South African gold fields have set all Europo crazy on the subject of mining. It is easier to raise capital lor a gold mining company than for anything else. London usually starts these ventures and Paris, Vienna and Berlin buy tho stocks at secondhand. But “wat ’ell” as Cliimmie Fadden would say. The Rand companies are paying from 10 to 45 per cent dividend. Take the Robinson mines in South Africa. Tho shares wore originally one pound each. The company accumu lated such a surplus that the stock was watered 50 for one. That is, each liold- 1-pound share, got a 50-ponnd share in exchange. Now we can’t buy one of those shares for less than SO pounds. There is 0-100 asked for what was originally a !*>.5-stock. The ore in the Robinson mines aver age $>:! pure gold to tho ton. I have seen assays within tho last week of Georgia ores that ran up above that, and the specimens of Georgia ore were tho very poorest that could ho found on the property. Experts say that some of these Georgia veins will produce $800 pure gold to the ton, 500 feet down. That would be about 1? 1 2 pounds of gold to the ton of ore. And this belief in tho existence of these rich ores prompts Mr. Howland to make tho remarkable assertion that the output of tho Comstock lode will be ex ceeded hero in Georgia probably within two years. John W. Mackey took $32,- 000,000 out of the Comstock in one year. He would not let his miners come up, but paid them big wages, sent cham pagne down to them ancl kept them steadily at work. He did not want the outside world to know what lie had down there. But after taking out $160,- 000,000, the lode suddenly disappeared ancl it bus never been found. There is more of it somewhere but the moun tains fell on it or it got lost somewhere else. But they say there is enough gold in one little strip in Georgia to keep three large companies busy for 000 years, and by that time few of us will care whether the mine plays out or not. Tho English say that tho trouble with mining in Georgia in the past lins been that it was conducted on too small a scalo. Instead of handling 20 to 40 tons a day, they go in to handle 500 to 1,000 tons a day. And that is why they make so much money at it. No kind of a small industry can manufacture as cheaply as a largo one. The English believe In mining gold on n big scale just as coal is mined. Georgia’s gold belt covers from 3,000 to 6,000 square miles. Tho Cripple Creek belt covers only 400 square miles or about as much as one Georgia comity. Tho cost of production out thoro ranges from 2 cents for $1 in gold to 43 cents. Thore is a profit in gold mining of from 47 cents to 08 cents on every dollar taken out, in gold fields. In the Doctor mine in Cripple Creek, it costs only 2 cents to get a dollar’s worth of gold. Hero in Georgia it is being mined for Speer thinks he will have no opposition for state treasurer. Colonel Lyons of Cartersville was down today. Ho is in the race for commissioner of agriculture against Commissioner Nesbitt, and that is about the only race in sight. In city and county politics, however, there are plenty of candidates and ac tivity. The race for sheriff of Fulton county will probably bo the most inter esting. The office is worth $30,000 a yedr, and soveral are after it. Sheriff Barnes will run again. His opponents are making capital against him out of tho escape of Will Myers, the murderer, from the jail last fall. Myers is sup posed to be in Cuba. It is certain that, no one here, unless it is some member of his family, lias the slightest in formation as to where he is. Tor Over Fifty Fears Mus.
