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. •MMMI F Roark the Jeweler is now re ceiyeiDg goods jor tailand when you want any thing in th« Jewelry line you wi 1 find he has the pretlest stoek tn Rome to select from. 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. Wm. A. Wright. SOLID ACRES OF FACTORY. Goods Shipped into Sixteen of the itites. ORDERS FROM LONDON Have been Received for ‘Knock Down'< Furniture, Rome Rivals Grand Rapids Charter Oak Out Put. A reporter for this paper yester day made a trip through the dis ferent departments of the Rom Furniture Factory, and like every one else who sees the interior oi this mammoth plant,was astonish ed by the magnitude of aud work turned out by them. The Rom» Furniture Factorys plant is situated in North Rome and near the Southern Railway. The buildings, dry kilns, aud yards for storing lumber occupies about acres. Tne factory is owned by a stock company composed of local capitalists, and is solid as a rock, 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. 8. M. STARK.
