Washington Letter.
Regular Correspondence.
Washington August 21, 1891.—
Why has Mr. Harrison cut short his
vacation and determined to return to
Washington early in Sept?, is the
political conundrum of the week.
Secretary .Foster, who brought the
news of the change of programme,
says that it is because of important
business connected with the Interior
department which requires President
Harrison’s personal attention. That
gave speculation a wide range, and
the consequence is that ever imagina¬
ble sort of important business is be¬
ing put forward as the cause of this
supposed to be sudden determina¬
tion, bu-) the most generally believed
story seems to be that the “impor¬
tant btisineis connected with the In¬
terior department” is the selection
04 some one to take Secretary No¬
ble’s place, as there is the best au¬
thority for stating that Secretary
Noble is extremely anxious to lay
down bis present onerous burden as
soon as he can do so without embar¬
rassment to his chief. Many also be¬
lieve that a change is to be made in
the head of the Pension Office, the
most important, as far as size and
cost are concerned, of the bureaux
under the Interior department, but
both of these places have been
changed so often by report that there
are naturally many doubters now.
There is another important mat¬
ter under tne supervision oi the In¬
terior department that may have had
something to do with bringing the
President homo ahead of the time he
expected to come, That department
has brought all the power at its dis-
jmnal to bear upon the cattle batons
who occupy what is known as
Cherokee outlet in order to get them
to comply with the law enacted by
the last Congress and remove there¬
from, but if reports received here are
to he relied upon not one of them
has moved or given the sligetest iu-
timatii.u of any such intention. The
matter will be called to Mr. Harri-
son s attention as soon as he comes
hack, and- it is said that the depart¬
ment officials will urge upon him the
necessity removing the violators of
law by force.
it may be too that the new recip- 1
-oeiVy treat with Venezuela, 7 which is |
said to need only Mr. Harrison’s ap-
dnival and bis official
to go in effect, has had something to I
do with changing his plans. There
arc also other things which need at
tention. For instance, it is general-
ly conceded that a coaling station in
the West Indies is a necessity for
this Government, and according to
Fr-1 Douglass our late Minister to
Ilayti, we have no prospect of get¬
ting one from that country at Mole
St. Nicholas. Where shall we, get
one? The report that the German
government was trying to buy the
Island of St. Thomas has brought to
memory the fact that Denmark, its
owner, once as a mark of friendship
offered to sell it to the United States
for a nominal price, and Secretary
Seward, then at the head of the State
department, agreed to its purchase,
but for some reason it was never
bought. It might be bought now, if
Germany hos not already got ahead
of us. There is no lack of impor¬
tant busiuess to occupy Mr. Harri¬
son’s attention when he returns.
The squabble in tbe Pennsylvania
republican convention about the res-
olutson endorsing Blaine has been
much discussed by a few politicians
of both parties who are now in
Washington, and they all agree that
it looks like the Blaine boom is to be
one of the regular features of the
campaign, instead of a mere flash in
the pan, some people had been dis¬
posed to regard it, and there seems
also to be a disposition on the part
of all oi them to believe that Mr.
Blaine is bound to be nominated un¬
less he positively forbids the use of
his name, and there is a growing im-
paession that he will not do that.
A New England republican, now
in Washington, has suggested a cu¬
rious Presidential ticket which he
says would prove a strong one if run
on a platform which shall have no
other planks except reciprocity and
opposition to sham civil service re-
forn, The ticket which he thinks
would just fit that platform is Blanc,
and Gordon, of Georgia. Truly, that
whuld be a combination of opposites,
and handcuffs would probably be re¬
quired to keep it together.
We have lots of people in Wash¬
ington this week, but no politics to
speak of. The American Associa¬
tion for the Advancement of Science,
more than a thousand strong, is hold¬
ing its annual convetion here; Tues¬
day and Wednesday the National
Association of Amatur Oarsman
held its annual regatta on the Potom¬
ac, and Wednesday and Thussday
the veteran telegraph operators in¬
cluding the “old-time telegraphers”
and the “military telegraphers” held
a reunion which closed with proba¬
bly tbe most unique meeting ever
held in this or any other country.
There were wires running into the
hall connected with every large tele-
graph office in the country, and every
word of tho speeches made by Mr.
Wanamaker and others was instantly
ticked to more than one hundred
thousand listening operators in ev-
cry section of the country.

FANNIN COUNTY
GEORGIA
Is situated in the extreme part of North Georgia, in 11 miles of where
the three States corner Tennessee North Carolina and Georgia, and has one
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 Cohan— level, the mountains, hills and valleys affod-
IXG EXPOS UK 13 TO EVERY POINT OF THE COMPASS. About 50 per cent of
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 value ys 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.”
MORGA™ the “FOUNTAIN CRESCENT CITY”—is situated 1956 feet
above tide-water—and was built in 1854 on a plateau, and near tbe 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 T annins Lovingood mines in
Noontlotla district now being worked by a large company of capitalists.
Several quarries of marble have been opened 011 Cut Cane creek and
near Mineral Bluff is found some of as fine marble as Italy can produce
and other quarries quite as extensive arc being opened—while tbe open¬
ing of others is contemplated.
The soil of Fannin county ig adapted to all the grains—corn, wheat,
oats, barley, rye, buckwheat, etc.,—and, also, to clover, Hungarian, blue;
timothy 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 arc said to
excel all mines any where in Georgia. Dncktowu 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,
combined with altitudes varrying from 1,000 to 3,200 feet, and fertile val-
Icy lands, no portion of the world is better adapted to the cultivation of
APPLES, PEACHES, PEARS, QUINCES, and other hardy fruits, or to
strawberries and the other small fruits, As to Grape Culture— Fan-
nin is included in the Wonderful Piedmont Region now attracting atten¬
tion as the coming seat of GRAPE GROWING AND WINE—MAKING
in the United States.
As a TOBACCO PRODUCING SECTION this cannot be excelled
whether productiveness or quality be considered.
Iu|common with the entire extended Piedmont Region, Fannin coun¬
ty cannot be surpassed in adaptedness to Cattle and Stock-Raising and
Dairying on the most extensive scale. It ranks equal to any in the
5,
Union, and with ample transportation facilities will rapidly develope in this
direction.
Large forest areas of chestnut-oak and other timber affording bark
suitable for tanning purposes, suggest that this industry could be largely
and profitably engaged in.
The output from Tanneries and the Superior Hard-wood Timber
would supply raw material for manufacture of Leather, and the manufac¬
ture of Furniture, and all other manufactures of wood in Morganton the
county seat, whose shipping facilities now excellent, will soon be equel to
any interior shipping point.
Within a few miles of Morganton, in different directions are Mineral
Springs, one or two of wnich are reputed to possess remarkable medioin
and curative properties, which wit > the pure air and picturesque mountain
scenery combine to make THE MOUNTAIN CKESt ENT CITY A DE.
LIGHTFUL SUMMER RESORT.
The Marietta and North Georgia railway, which traverses the county
from near its south-western corner to its northern boundary, the line of the
Augusta and Chattanooga Railway—whose construction is only a question
of time—enters tho county 011 the North and crossing the Marietta and
North Georgia at Mineral Bluff, and right up Hemptown creek to Mor_
ganton. The Marietta and North Georgia railway affords a fine outlet
for its products southward through its connections at Atlata, and West-
ward and Northward by its connections at Knoxville; while the Augusta
and 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. information desired will be
