yields an income of one hundred dol

was hauled in blocks to Marietta by
mule teams, but now by steamer.
The work of lifting one of these
great pieces out of the quarry to tho
ground above—some fifty feet—and
on to a car, is but the work of a min
ute. It is done by steam, with a
great crane that lifts it as easily ns
we could a package of peanuts.

of this industry until he has seen for

possibilities of this portion of the
State since the completion of the Ma

just one thing and that is to get to a
larger market with their products
and an outlet to the sea. This they
cun get by building across to Austell

Atlanta ami also to the sea at Bruns

POLITICS IN THE FIRST.
How the Counties that Have Se
lected Delegates Stand.
The interest in the First District
Congressional contest contest is
steadily Increasing. The time and
place for holding the convention
having been determined, the candi
dates are busy in*the different coun
ties which have not yet selected del- .
egates,.looking after their respective
interests. V
Tho counties have thus far 1 elected
delegates as follows’: Chatham, G for
Gordon; E manue li 2 for Gordon;
Scriven, 1 for Gordon and I 1 for Nor
wood ; Bulloch, 2 for Norwood but
nninstruoted; Glynn, 2 for Norwood;
Charlton, 2 for Nicholls. Gordon 9,
Norwood 5, Nicholls 2, McIntosh
county will fix its convention nftet
Saturday, and Bryan county will
elect, the first Tuesday in June. Ef
fingham will elect at tho cAll of the r
chairman of tho County Executive
Committee. Tlio counties yet to act
are Appling, Bryap, Effingham, Mc
Intosh, Liberty, Camden, Pierce,
Echols, Clinch, Wore. Wayne and
Tatnall.
■ The district is entitled to forty
delegates in tho convention and under
the two thirds rule twenty-soven
votes wlll.be required to receive the
nomination. Tho .time for tho can
vass is short, only a little more than
four weeks remaining before tho con
vention will be held, and whatever is
done will have tij be done' in a very
shorfcjtime. '

Our Schools.
We havo been hearing for some
timo past of tho lack of seats in tho
various schools, and some people
have gone so far as to blame the
Board of Education for tho ‘ deficien
cy. The present board, wo candidly
believe,bus done its frill duty,or tried
to do so, and they are giving us to
day the best school system^we have
ever had. They have dono all tnat
they could do with tho means at
command. Tljp city, too, seems to
have done all it could do Tho
board has now made the last move
in the matter. They liavo gono to
tbo Grand Jury and asked their
aid. What will bo tbo result
of their efforts remuins to bo seen. If
the county can come up to the help
of the schools—something tangible—
wo may hope for better facilities in
the future. In this connection we
would state that a Indy of means in
tended moving to this city, but learn
ing that there was a probability that
sho could not get her children into
the schools, changed hor course and
went to Atlanta. This should not be,
wc can’t afford to let people go else
where who want to come here.
The Macon Telegraph says the
liveliest political contest in Georgia
at this time is tho race for Congress
in the first district between Mr. Nor
wood, the present member, and Capt
W. W. Gordon. Capt Gordon is the
choice of the Democrats of 'Chatham
county, where both candidates live,
but Mr. Norwood has already been
indorsed by several other counties.
There is the consolation of knowing
that both are men of character and
ability, and that in 'any event the
first district will have a good Con
gressman.
