HORSE SHOEING
A Reporter has an Interesting
Talk with Mr. Darcy.
VALUABLE INFORMATION
He T ells Why so Many Horses
are Lame —It is Gane-aly
Due io Inferior Shoeing.
Darcy Knows His
Business.
“Why is it that so many horses in
this town are lame, and sore foot
ed, ’ asked a hustler reporter, of
J. Darcy, the professional Sheer on
Broad st., yerterday. “Well’’ he
said with a knowing smile, “you
are the first man who has
asked that question in a long
time.” “There are about as many
different things to make horses go
lame as there are hair in your
head. Sometime it is the black
smith’s fault and sometimes it is
not. No horse need ever go lame,
that is, become sore in the hoof, if
shod by a skilled mechanic. Many
people believe that all black
smithing jobs are alike —that they
lire nothing but muscle and mate
rial mixed. That ik true of ordina
ry jobs, brains are also used to
make a good job, so is conscience.
A job made without skill or hon
esty is no good.
“Some people think it is the
pavement that makes a horse 8
foot sore, but in all of my experi
ence I have never seen a properly
shod horse go lame from driving
on the pavement.
“There is a horse there’, continu
ed Mr. Darcy, pointing to a well
known roadster, that was brought
to me this morning, lame The own
er said he thought it was caused by
hard driving, or hard roads, but
when I tore off the front shoes and
found that a horse shoe nail had
been carelessly driven into the
quick of the hoof, why this horsa
was lame was easily explained.
“Horses feet are just like our
feet in regard to shoeing. It is very
seldom you find two alike, and if
you do, a set of shoes that will
work well onone,wi 1 not work on
the other.
A horse shoer must understand
and have a thorough knowledge of
the hoof, in order to shoe a horse
successfully. Some blacksmiths
use only one style of shoe, aud put
them on all horses brought to them
Well that is the wrong idea, some
horses work best in a light shoe and
others id a heavy shoe. For instance
I have put a heavier shoe on a 900
pound horse than I have on a 1200
pound horse.
Then some horses are not truly
balanced on their feet and a good
shoer must know howto trim their
feet and build the shoe that will
work best.
“Thers is a horse over there,"
pointing to a nice looking chest
nut, “that has nearly cut his hind
foot off by interfering. What is
the cause of it? In the first place
he was not properly balanced on
his feet.”
“How many different styles of
shoes do you make?”
“There are 120 different styles
of shoes and I make them all. Now
the secret of the business is to know
what kind of a shoe a horse wants
in order to travel without worrying
him, and how to make it.”
“How is it in regard to shoeing
mules?”
“There is no difference whatever.
A hoof is a hoof, whether it is on
a mule or a horse.”
Mr. Darcy at one time ran one of
the leading horse shoeing shops in
Chicago, and is a man of wide ex
periments in his line. His prices ar
very moderate and he is certainly
entitled to the patronage of those
who appreciate and like to have
their stock well shod. He is loca
ted on Broad St. near the Engine
house.

HAS RESIGNED
Hon. Logan E. Bleckley Quits the
Supreme Court Bench.
WRITES TO GOVERNOR
Heh p Thinks is Doing Him
self and the State an Injus
tice by Doing the
Work of Five Men
With Three.
Atlanta, Ga -Oct. 13 —H n L n
gan E. B ecktey has for the seco d
time resigned hie position as the!
he*d of the Supreme Court of G -
gia, Judge Bleckley has honor
ably and ably fitted the place for a
number of years, and tu a tetter to
Gov.Nortben gives his reasons for
resigning. Below are excerpts
from his letter:
“For some years it has been
manifest to the bench and bar
of the whole state that the busi
ness of the supreme court has be
come too heavy to be adequately
handled and disposed of by the
ihree justices. The fact has also
been twice recognized by the gener
al assembly, and a constitutional
amendment to increase the number
from three to five has twice passed
and submitted to the people for
ratification. The people either not
being convinced of the necessity
for the proposed increase, or if con
vinced, not caring to better the
efficiency of the court by adopting
the appropriate me .us, have twice
rejected the amendment by a decis
ive vote against it. Now, whether
the people know it or not I feel
constrained to care to the extent at
least of declining to remain longer
in a situation of high and respon
sible public service in which three
men must either do the work of
five or violate the constitution by
leaving undone a considerable part
of that which the constitution not
only requires to be done, but limits
in positive terms the time within
which it must be performed.
Finnally, to those, if any, who
may be disposed to criticise my
present conduct adversely. I would
urge this consideration, not indeed
as requiring, but as indicating my
retirement forever from public
office. I am upwards of sixty-sev
en years of age, and have had more
than my due share of official op
portunity and emolument, hav
ing been an officeholder under the
in sundry positions for a third part
I of my whole life. Surely I ought to
be satisfied with whaf the
state has done for me, and if I
have been faithful and efficient
the state ought to be satisfied
with what I have done for it. If,
on the other hand, I have failed
either in fidelity or efficiency, it
ought to part with me now with
no regret save that my exit was
so long delayed.
—— . .... .
Card for Mr. W. A. Alright.
Bend meeting Monday night,
it should be a meeting of great
moment to every man, black or
white tax payer or no tax payer,
for all are certainly interested. This
issue of County Bonds is unlike
any other issue that has ever been
suggested. Its nature is of a three
fold nature. First to liquidate our
debt. Second, in liquidating the
debt it is to be issued in small de
nominations to be used as a local
currency. Last but not least it is
intimated from exstract taken
from other papers over the state
that it might solve a problem just
at this time and under there cir
cumstaces of a local relief to our
depressed Southern States. If such
should be the case, we ought to if
we should not, feel proud of the
lead off of the banner county in
such a universal relief. This ques
-1 tion deserves thought aud your
! undivided thought until it is pass
ed.

this mammoth plant,was astonish
ed by the magnitude of aud work

t n iucially
it is a revelation to go through
the acres of floors aud see 135 men
aud boys hard at work iu the sev
eral departments. The rough oak
planks start in atone end of the
building and after going through
the hands of many men comes out
in the finishing room, a beautiful
piece of furniture
The products of this factory is
sold regularly in sixteen states —
from Maine to Texas.Mr, O H. Mc-
Williams told me that he had a
proposition from a Loudon firm
to ship furniture there “knocked
ed down,’’ that is not put up, but
just pieces shipped.
This factory dues uot make ma
hogany goods, but n oak they are
a strong ami successful competi
tors of the Grand Rapid factories,
which are the most exteneivenn the
world. It is a great enterprise and
tew people appreciate its impor
tance.
