WASHINGTON LETTER.
Regular Correspondence.
Washington, July 17, 1891.—The
secret is out that has beeu puzzling
lots of people hereabouts for several
weeks. Everybody has been won¬
dering and speculating as to what
was the causo of the sudden boom
which Representative Crisp’s candi¬
dacy for the Speakership recently
took on. Some said that it was
caused by the support of Mr. Cleve-
land, but how could that be when it
had been announced by those very
near to the ex-President that he fa¬
vored McMillin for Speaker. Mc-
Millin’s friends also thought that he
would get the support and influence
of Tammany Hall, but they now
know that Tammany is working for
Crisp, and that it hopes to secure the
entire New York delegation for him.
It was impossible to keep the influ¬
ence that was doing all this a secret,
somebody was bound to blab, and
somebody has blabbed. Mr. Crisp is
being pushed by the shrewdest polit¬
ical manipulator in the democratic
party, Senator Arthur P. Gorman,
although that gentleman has repea¬
tedly stated that he didn’t propose
having anything to do with the
Speakership, and unless his inter¬
ference should be resented and a
combination formed against his can-
didate it looks like Crisp will be the
next speaker. However there is
plenty of time to make combinations
against him.
There is no end to red tape mon¬
keying in affairs connected with the
Federal Government. The account¬
ing officers of the Treasury depart¬
ment have decided that the judges
and other officials of the recently
created private land claims court
must not be paid their salaries until
they have have been confirmed by
the Senate; another decision by the
same august authorities is that As¬
sistant Secretary of the Tr easury
Crounse, who was appointed to suc¬
ceed Gen. Bacheller, who was ap¬
pointed minister to Portugal can
draw no salary until lie is confirmed
by the Senate. Judge Beatty, of
Idaho, who was nominated before
Congress adjourned, but not con¬
firmed by the Senate, and who was
after Congress adjourned appointed
by President Harrison is in the same
predicament, no salary will be paid
to him until he is confirmed by the
Senate. These decisions may be in
strict conformity with the law, but
they certainly are not in touch with
plain everyday common sense.
These officials are all performing the
duties for which they were appoin¬
ted and they should be paid their
salaries.
The building committee of the
board of management of Govern¬
ment buildings has been directed to
proceed to Chicago to consult with
the Exposition authorities about the
arrangement of grounds for the Gov¬
ernment buildings. The committee,
which will go next week, will be ac¬
companied by Supervising Architect
of the Treasury Etlbrooke, who will
represent the Secretary of the Treas¬
ury.
We havn’t any right to stone the
European “snob” as long as our
newspapers persist in giving the pub¬
lic the most minute details, as far as
they can get them, of the Presidents
domestic life at his seaside cottage,
and the more of this sort of stuff
they print the more papers the pub-
public will buy. The American
“snob” is getting entirely too numer¬
ous for the good of the country.
Col. L. L. Polk, president of the
National Farmers Alliance, while
here this week, took occasion to pub¬
licly serve notice upon the leaders of
the democratic party in the South
that unless there was a change in
their treatment of the Alliance in
that section before next year the Al¬
liance would go into the third party
movement. He also characterized
as utterly false statements which
have been made that the Alliance
was going to pieces in Kansas.
said that the Alliance was
stronger in that State at this
than it was when the Ocala conven¬
tion was held and that it was increas¬
ing in membership all over the coun¬
try notwithstanding the persistent
efforts of the partisian press to make
it appear otherwise.
The democratic leaders here are
figuring that the free coinage plunk
in the Ohio democratic platform will
get Campbell the support of the
Farmer’s Alliance of that State and
prevent the nomination of a third
ticket. Many democrats do not hes-
itate to say that without the support
of the Alliance Campbell stands very
little chance of election. Republi¬
cans still express confidence that Mc¬
Kinley will win anyway, but they
are not so confident of carrying the
legislature, because of the fight the
Alliance is making on Senator Sher¬
Secretary Rusk will attend the an¬
encampment of the G. A. R. at
next month, and he has
to do what he could to
Washington get the encamp¬
next year. The business men

FANNIN COUNTY
GEORGIA
Is situated in the extreme part of North Georgia, in 11 miles of wher
the three States corner Tennessee North Carolina and Georgia, and has on
important town and two Rail Road stations Mineral Bluff 4 miles north
and Blue Ridge 5 1-2 miles west.
The county is about 15 miles long east and west, and about 38 miles
wide—north and south.
Containing about 670 square miles with altitudes varying from 1000
to 3200 feet above Ocean—level, the mountains, hills and valleys affod-
INO EXPOSURE TO EVERY POINT OF THE COMPASS. About 50 per Cent O
the area is improved. And is shown by the last census to be the health¬
iest county it the State.
The surface, generally, is HILLY and MOUNTAINOUS.
With numerous valleys through which flow full fine creeks
and smaller streams, many of which supply.
ABUNDENT AND CONSTANT WATER POWERS.
The county is bounded on the east by the “Willscot range of moun¬
tains'’ in which are “Pickelsimer Knob” about 3200 feet above tide water ;
and on the west by the “Frog mountains and Blue Ridge.”
MORGANTON the “MOUNTAIN CRESCENT CITY” —is situated 1956 feet
above tide-water—and was built in 1854 on a plateau, and near the moun¬
tain ranges described above, and scores of lesser mountains, with well-
watered fertile Valleys intervening.
The formation is marble, free stone, and a species of granite and all the
precious metals are found here also are Fannins Lovifigood mines in
Noontlotla district now being worked by a large company of capitalists.
Several quarries of marble have been opened on Cut Cane creek and
near Mineral Bluff is found some of as fine marble as Italy can produce
and other quarries quite as extensive are being opened—while the open¬
ing of others is contemplated.
The soil of Fannin county is adapted to all the grains—corn, wheat ?
oats, barley, rye, buckwheat, etc.,—and, also, to clover, Hungarian, blue,
and other grasses—all of which grow luxuriantly, But corn
wheat and rye are the staple agricultural productions, The Mobile
copper mines are situated in the western part of the county and are said to
excel all mines any where in Georgia. Ducktown not eccepted.
Irish, Yam and Spanish potatoes, cabbage, beets, turnips &c yield
abundantly, and Sorghum flourishes, affording a rich product.
With hill and mountain slope exposure to every point of the compass ?
with altitudes varrying from 1,000 to 3,200 feet, and fertile val-
lands, no portion of the world is better adapted to the cultivation of
PEACHES, PEARS, QUINCES, and other hardy fruits, or to
and the other small fruits. As to Grape Culture —Fan¬
is included in the Wonderful Piedmont Region now attracting atten¬
as the coming seat of GRAPE GROWING AND WINE—MAKING
the United States.
As a TOBACCO PRODUCING SECTION this cannot be excelled
productiveness or quality be considered.
In common with the entire extended Piedmont Region, Fannin coun¬
cannot be surpassed in adaptedness to Cattle and Stock-Raising and
on the most extensive scale. It ranks equal to any in the
and with ample transportation facilities will rapidly develope in this
Large forest areas of chestnut-oak and other timber affording bark
for tanning purposes, suggest that this industry could be largely
profitably engaged in.
The output from Tanneries and the Superior Hard-wood Timber
supply raw material for manufacture of Leather, and the manufac¬
of Furniture, and all other manufactures of wood in Morganton the
seat, whose shipping facilities now excellent, will soon be equel to
interior shipping point.
Within a tew miles of Morganton, in different directions are Mineral
Springs, one or two of wnich are reputed to possess remarkable inedicin
curative properties, which with the pure air and picturesque mountain
combine to make THE MOUNTAIN CRESCENT CITY A DE¬
SUMMER RESORT.
The Marietta and North Georgia railway, which traverses the county
near its south-western corner to its northern boundary, the line of the
and Chattanooga Railway—whose construction is only a question
time—enters the county on the North and crossing the Marietta and
Georgia at Mineral Bluff, and right up Ilemptown creek to Mor
The Marietta and North Georgia railway affords a fine outlet
its products southward through its connections at Atlata, and West¬
and Northward by its connections at Knoxville; while the Augusta
Chattanooga will afford an outlet South-Westward by its connections
at Chattanooga, and Eastward by its connections at Augusta.
NO COUNTY OR LOCALITY IN THE UNION PRESENTS A MORE INVIT¬
ING FIELD FOR INVESTMENT, OR PROMISES A SPEEDIER OR RICHER RE-
TURN on capital and labor employed. Land is cheap, labor can be had
in abundance as cheaply as any where. In fact there is no product of
the county—metallic or mineral, or of the forest the stream, or the field,
which does not find a waiting market and ready sale at remunerative
prices.
Any information desired will be
promptly furnished, and as full y
as possibl e, on Appl NEWS ication to
