The committee want Jjeach riding, surf bathing, etc., cou pled with perfect freedom from all the conventionalities of city life. So popular has this resort become that even in winter there are always guests there, and before the spring season opened people from the interior were enjoying the luxuriesof Cumberland. There are at present about twenty guests at the hotel. The Calico Ball.

Originally this marble 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. These blocks pass on t iron tracks right into the mill and under a gang of toothless saws and by means of sand and water these toothless saws cat up each block into’ slabs or plank if you prefer that name, which are in turn cut into smaller pieces aud then worked up by machinery and polish ed. So plentiful i6 the marble of this section that the pillars of the bridges of this road are madeofmur- hie and one of them of polished mar ble, "the only such bridge in the United States or possibly in the world. One has no concqjjtion of. the sup ply of the material and the magnitude of this industry until he has seen for himself. Nor has he any conception of the hospitality of these’ people, the grandeur of the scenery, the richness of the valleys, and in short the great possibilities of this portion of the State since the completion of the Ma rietta and North Georgia Road through this section—but they lack 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 on the E. T. V. <k G. and thus get to Atlanta ami also to the sea at Bruns wick—or else build straight into At lanta, thus securing both their ob jects at one and^hc same time. The last Legislature objects to,this latter scheme on the groiimr that it would injure tho State road in running par allel with it into Atlanta. The next Legislature, will, in;all probability, grant the petition, for the pres* baa now Been the necessity for it Tho officers of the road are making all arrangements looking to this end, for they are straightening their road bed and will soon change thclrgaugo to the regular standard.

What Che fails to hnve within her borders is hardly worth losing sleep over.

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. ' - ''m" - v «g we visited. 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.
