We doubt if there i* any man
in the State of Georgia who ia ao
thoroughly and intelligently bent
upon the development of her re
nourcea aa Dr. George Little, the
State Geologist.
lie aeema to have no (bought
aa re the advertiaemont of Ueor
gia’s strength and the auggeation
of her progress. Standing, aa he
does,
AT TUI VKUT HEAD Of HIS PXOFXS
iIOI,
and second to no nun ia the
South aa a scholar of general cul
ture, he speaka intelligently upon
anything he diaoouraes of, and his
opimoos cany conviction. He is
careful, prudent and guarded in
all hia expressions. His remark*
able interview upon the subject
of the gold fields of North Geor
gia,published in the Conttitution
some time ago, has been copied
all over the union,and has doubt-
Ira* attracted the attention of
thousands to this favored section.
AX OPINION ABTOOEOBOIA’S WEALTH.
Meeting the Doctor the other
we asked him what he
thought now of Georgia's natural
wealth.
“Do vou know,** he replied,
“that you asked me that question
three years ago, when I had just
begun my examination, and had
just returned from the counties
along the Marietta dt North Geor
gia railroad f I was enthusiastic
then, as you rumember.
“And yet I did not then know
a tithe of the truth, 1 did not
conceive a fraction ol the riches
that lie buried in the soil of our
State. I have completed my sur
vey virtually. 1 have examined
all except probably a half doaen
counties, and 1 may say that I am
more than astonished at the rich
ness of our deposits.'
* 1 have already told you, aud
proved to you, that her gold re
gion was richer and better than
that of California, aud that its
• yield must very soon become
enormous. 1 tell you now that
agricultural, pastoral and lumber
resources are equal, if not supe
rior, to any Stale on the Pacific
slope or in the Northwest. Be
sides this, she has water powers
far superior to, and more numer
ous than, those that have enabled
New England
70 DICTATE THE FINANCIAL POLICY
of the Government. It is almost
impossible to conceive oi a State
liaviug greater and more varied
resources. We have gold equal
to California,oopper equal to Ten
nessee, coal equal to Penoajrlva
nia, iron equal to any country,
water powers equal to Massachu
setts, pasturage equal to Ken
tucky, soil equal to lowa, lumber
superior to Mateo, and a climate
better than aay of them. Our
/btgie is in our own bauds "
Wuat oaoaoiA heads.
“Whet does Georgia need to
properly develop her resources
“She needs, first of all,the com
pletion of the Marietta ds North
Georgia railroad. If the convict
labor of the State could be put to
work on this coed, and finish it to
Murphy, N. C., the results would
be almost magical, !u the first
place, it would open up a section
nf anequaled richness ee to min
eral deposits and iu farming
lands. These are aompaniirely
valueless unless they lie near a
railroad. Betides this.it would
inevitably attach to us a do*en or
snore rich mountains and valley
eamtles of North Carolina and
pour their trade into Georgie.
ML We need the extension and
of the Northwestern
seilaoad from Lula City to Rabun
AJap and beyond. This will bring
us into intimate connection with
i lie fertile valleys of Western
NorSMParoliiu, and the granaries
gif East Tennessee, and will give,
betides ready access to the de
} -fitful mountains and scenery,
Acid miuvxai springs of Northeast I
Georgia, and make it in a few
years the greatest summer resort
on this continent.
3d. Georgia needs and mutt
havt the Georgia Western rail
road, piercing the rich copper
belts of Paulding, Haralson and
Carroll, and the unequalled coal
and iron fields of Western Geor
gia and Middle Alabama,and con
necling at Birmingham. The im
portance of this road cannot be
overrated.
YOU SEE TUB THREE CITIES,
Atlanta, Chattanooga and Bir
mingham, form a triangle o(
about 150 miles for each side. In
the very uatnre of things these
three cities must be the great
manufacturing cities of the South.
They are the outposts of the great
coal, iron, copper and gold re
gion of the South, and, having the
capital and facilities, they mutt
control the manufacturing.
“Now, in order to do this, it is
absolutely necessary that we
shall have chetp coal. To work
copper mine* successfully, to man
ufacture iron profitably, to build
up wagon, furniture and bucket
factories, we must have conven
ient railroad
and abundant coal aud fine for
ests. In ordor to compete with
her sister cities Atlanta mutt
have an abundance of coaljtauled
at low rates. At present she de
pends on one railroad for her coal
supply. With the Georgia West
ern she would be put beyond dan
ger.
“The benefit that we should de
rive from these roads caunot
BE ESTIMATED IN DOLLARS AND
CENTS.
“A few days ago I was showing
the Messrs. Rah t,son and nephew
of Julius Kalit,of Cleveland, some
specimens of the copper ore of
the Banks river in Paulding and
the Tallapoosa creek in Haralson,
and he said: ‘lf I only had the
coal at five dollars a ton and rail
road transportation 1 could make
a great deal of money with these
ore*.*
“1 showed him some splendid
specimens of iron pyrites,” he
said. ‘lf these were only near a
railroad, you might put up sul
phuric acid factories and make
your own fertilizers.'
“I showed Mr. Jenks, the other
dny,soine specimens of corundum
that 1 had picked up on the road
side near the track of the Geor
giu Western, and he told me that
he had found it very profitable to
haul corundum for fifty miles
through the mountaina of North
Carolina. At one time he sold
to one company in New York |5,
000 worth for making etnory
wheels. It is lying in inexhaust
ible quantities along the line of
the Georgia Western.
“1 hope these three roads will
be built very soon. With them
the Slate wiil reach a prosperity
that none of us even dream of.
Without them, her progress must
be slow. We have the grea'est
State in the Union. The only
thing we have to do is to properly
develop it.”
Two years ago he pointed to a
man in .the street, and said:
“There’s a man who dareu’t say
his soul's his own when his wife’s
about. Some oi these women
ought to get me for a husband;
I’m show ’em a thing or two.” lie
was a bachelor then, lie is mar
ried uow, and when hit wife says
“Thomas'SJ" he jumps two feet,
answers “Ves’nt,’’ and doesn’t let
the grass grow under him in an
swering to the summons.
“Do you know," rental ked a fast
Newark youth the other day to a
stuttering triend to whom he was
slightly indebted, “do you know
that 1 intend to marry and settle
down F’ “1 do-dou’t know any
thing about it," was the reply,
“bu but 1 think you had b-b bet
ter stay single and settle up.”—
Newark Call.
A yoi'no man of eighteen went
to Texas last March and is already
the proprietor of a stock iarm,
with which was conveyed also a
ready made family, consisting of
one wife, seven children and a
mother-inlaw.
A* Alabama man who bit off
nnoUmr fallow’s nose was com

Then Tommey sat on th* rule

A MAHjfmm Boston would not
confess astonishment at anylhinc
he saw in Nevada. As he was
passing a hotel in Virginia City
the cap Llew from one of the
chimneys. It was a circular piece
of sheet; iron, painted black,
slightly convex, and the four sup
ports were like lgs. The wind
carried it down lha street, and it
weut straddlingtalong like a liv
ing thing. The Potion man asked
what it was. “A bed bug from
the hotel,” was the reply. “By
George! I never saw anything
like that—” he began, and then
added, “outside of Boston.”
