Our
ainfft ouarries and ce

rji - things, but nothing has
imoreea nie like the magni
and magnificence of the
Garble works on the North
rejr-ia railroad. I have been
To to Xel?oa and Tate, and for
i time dwelt in marble halls.
All other mineral treasures are

l,ard labor and toil of human
muscle. All of them are hidden
in the iiills and mountains, and
when removed leave behind
eni unseemly holes and
chasms, and great heaps of
Tate aud fragments. It is all
a rouu'li and dirty business, and
a strain upon man and beast to
fceep it.' going. But these mar
tie works are. in a level plain; a
T3ley, where for half a centujy
the te.-t corn aud wheat and
oats K'rew unconscious that a
few f'-et below there was a sleep
in? mountain of marble that
worth' millions. .
Our route was overland and
took us across the country by a
kaiser's road and over the crest
ofa young mountain, and from
i s brou- Tsaw for the first time
the little white, shining marble
ci'y down in the valley below.
It seemed to me that I could
almost throw a stone into the
midst, but ic was a long three
tilles by the slow-descending
road and. when we reached it,
the little' city ' and the valley
which enclosed it had expanded
into extent and beauty beyond
conception. My first emotion
vis amazement, and my, next
was a regret that my wife and
children were not there to see. L
am -going to take Mrs. Arp there
very soou for she does love to
look on beautiful things. She
doed love to talk about marble
mar; tW and hearths and vases
and marble walks and fountains
and statuary, and frescoed walls
and other Deautif ul things, and
I have heard her mention dia
monds and pearls with a savory
unison. These things I tell her
are scarce in' this world, but will
abound in hoaven and I refer
her to St. John's vision on the
isle of t'dtmus as an. encourage
ment, to u all to be good and
travel the road that leads to the
pearly ates.
At first I saw the Immense
"derrii lis that were slowly swing
!be great blocks of marble
around, and I wondered where
the shiiiiug masses came from
for I" ;-VvW no sign on the inoun
"Where does it come from,"
aiil . ly companion led me
a i-w stops away and I looked
'lo - ii into a marble chamber.

rk noes on. Just think
jf a inarbie chamber a hundred
fe.' i .square arid eighty feet deep
a;i(; iv -.i a speck of earth or for
matter n all that has been
removed..-- Looking- down into
dizzy depth the 'men seemed as
children and the engines as lit -tuy.

r. were four engines at
rk (Jr-iwiug the drills, and
ry pulf of steiiu-advahce the
r ii: uwtii the line was punch
e(1 f hey drill and cross-drill
U;'ti! the five-foot floor is all
''ictt d and, then the horiz n-
' work begins that loosens
t!- liuh blocks from th ir
ving. The derrick seizej
em arid .lifts them to the top
' easily as I could lift a brick.

A locomotive on an eh vated
railway kindly takes these mar
1 bi rcks from the derrick. A
! ! stf.r chain is let down a
'iiain with great hooks jthat

iP!iigSt H.tsily along under the
railway as the engine moves

isii- the gangssaws that are
soon cut it into ten or twen.
' i perhaps a hundred pieces.
i y are called saws, but they
llUv no teeth, and makes no
.fioiHo vxcept the hissing through
h sand and water that ia, fed
!rtn i pes into the narrow open
JIi the saws descend into the
r' k. After the sawing comes
polishing. The marble has
!n"n directed until it is light
Juai to be handled, and is
jn transf ered to the horizontal
d'Uiie of an immense cast-iron
Wfeei that is swiftly revolving
,jrit3 axis water and sand are
npon this wheel and it takes
,J11t a minnte to bring the mar
t--
ble to a perfect plane and to
smooth every irregularity upon
its surface. This ureat wheel
is twelve feet in diameter and
has cross-beams of wood that
span it, but doj not tqueh rf.
These beams are stationery and
prevent the marble from re
volving with the wheel.
But it will take too long a
letter to tell the wonders of
these works. The wnenT are
increasing the force and the pro
ducts every year, for the de
mand is exceeding the supply.
The mighty North that, before
the war, supplied the nation
with its marble, is how buying
from these works. It is cheap
er and a better quality than V-er-mont
has been furnishing for a
century. 1 saw many beautiful
columns that are being prepar
ed for the new Drexel building
m Philadelphia, I saw them in
the rough and in the turning
lathe and then set up. finished
with base and capital all com
plete. Every day the products
of these works , go north and
east and west. There are now
over 700 hands employed in the
marble business i n Pickens
county and their daily wages
is from 25 cents to 4. The 25
cents is paid the apprentices. I
saw a goodslooking youth of
twentysone, who, two years ago,
entered as an apprentice at 25
cants a day. He is now at the
turning lathe and gets 2,75
for each day. He has taken him
self a wife who does all the, do-
mestic work and is a help-meet
according" to scripture, for she
helps meet the expenses. That
youDg man has a good easy and
cleanly trade which rainy days
do not hinder. He works in a
comfortable shop that is cool in
summer and warm in winter.
He is laying up 10 clear money
every week and ought to be as
happy as he looks. "What bet
ter can a young man want.
About 500 of these workmen
are white and most of them are
natives and this great enterprise
that our northern friends have
established is a boon and a bles-
sing to Pickens countyf The
Tate family owns this property
and have leased it upon a royal
ty of 7 cents a cubic foot. Just
think of it, nearly 2 on every
cubic yard and .50,000 yards al
ready taken out. Royalty used
tomean the allowance or toll ex.
acted by the -king and it does
make a man feel kingly and
proud to have money coming in
every day and - every hour like
meal running from a hopper.
And yet you will find men
right there in PicKens who are
jealous and envious of this
great work, and are ready to'
swear that these men are get
ting rich off of the poor farmer.
Over 1,000 a day are paid out
in wages to the people of Pick
ens, aud its influence is felt for
miles around, and vet there are
some who are ready to complain
of these things as monopolies
and trusts. Just so you will find
farmers will cry loud for a Tail
road, and just soon as it is
built they become its enemy
and crv out extortion and op
pression. But a few'dajVag
there was a train of beventm-n
loaded cars burned up on tl
Georgia railroad, and the I k-s
to the company was 100,000,
and nobody cares but the ovnt
ers. Large verdicts are render
ed on every case of damage, and
the controlling motive of the
jdries is that the plautiff is poor
and the defendant is rich. What
makes our people do sn? When
will they conquer their preju
dices aud do justice and feel
kindly towards those who are
doing so much for our country,
so much that betters the ondi
tion of the poor as well as the
rich? Not long atro an alliance
not far away expelled two of its
members, farmer though they
were, because they owned some
stock in a cotton factory. Just
think of that! What '.vouid thier
cotton brin4 without the iacto
ries? We thought that the alii
ace would make a special bus
iness of building small factories
all over the south. By co-operation
they could establish many
industries that would give em
ployemeut to their children and
a market for their products.
But . we still hope on. After
the elections are over and poli
tics has ceased to absorb them,
maybe they will turn'attentioh
to material things-may be they

MACUNE AND THE LARD BILL. .
i Dr. Macune, who so far wn
the confidence of the Alliauce
men was to be entrusted to
working the: sub treasury
schemes tlirough Congress, is
now said to be. an ardent advo
cate of the compound lard bill,
which is entirely in the inter
est of the hog men of the West
The. consequence is that the
price of cotton seed has drop
ped, from twenty to t fif Wen
c ants a bushel. As cotton seed
oil is largely used in making
compound lard the refiners can
not afford to lose "much in the
face of the proposed Congress
sional a,ction. The Southern
farmers will lose thousands of
dollar as the price for this
little scheme.

He Leaves the Radical Par ty and
f Arraigns It.
i
Mr F, D. Winston was nomis
nated by the Republicahs of the
2na Judicial District for State
Superior Court Judge and he
writes a letter to Chairman
Eavesdeclining the nomina
tion. The letter is so wise and
patriotic , that we give it in
part. " He says:
"The tendencies of the Re,
publican party are such as to
alarm every- man who place?
the permanent welfare of his
country above temporary party
advantage. The National
House of Representatives,
abandoning all pretenses . to
calm, wise impartial deliberas
tion, has repressed free speech,
free inquiry and free discussion;
has appointed the Speaker and
Clerk a permanent returning
board for the counting of vot
ers who do not vote, and has
enacted legislation involving
hundreds of millions of dolllrs
without condescending to justi
fy or even excuse its oppres
sion, and without allowing in
quiry to be made or discussion
to be had concerning its jus
tice or proprieiy. The meth
ods that have prevailed in that
body during the past ten
months belong rather to a
packed convention of political
partisans held in a-corner grog
gery than to the highest belib
eratiye assembly of a free and
intelligent nation. It is doubt
ful whether the legislature of
any civilized people on earth
has transacted public business
in the year 1890 with so little
regard for the rights of speech
and discussion, or for the rBal
interest of the people, as the
present Congress.' It has abol
ished parliamentary rights that
were observed during the pas
sion and turmoil of civil war
and the reconstruction period,
and it has imposed taxes which
not even the necessity of war
required.
I Sectionalism ha3 been reviv
ed inthe most odious shape.
Every Southern industry has
been taxed that could be sepa
rated from the industries of the
North. On the tie that binds
Southern cotton the tax has
been trebled; the twine- that
binds Western wheat has been
almost freed from taxation.
Southern Democratic Senators
vote to relieve, the Western la
borer of unjust burdens, while
Western Republican Senators
vote to increase the unjust
burden upon Southern labor.
Such is their idea of sta tesman
ship! - When asked to explain
the inconsistency of their votes
they: laugh in their sleeves, or
Justify their extortion by cry
ing "Rebel." Government is
becoming a game of plunder
and the methods of the men
who control the Republican
party are the methods of high
waymen and partly -the meth
ods of sneak thieves. A half
clad negro in the Southern cot
ton fields is good plunder for
the millionaire philanthropist
who needs protection. Robin
Hocfd was more humane. In
their desire to oppress and plnu
der the Southern people they
are willing to keep in poverty
and even destroy the poor,
helpless ignorant negro. What
a parable and satire for such
men to advocate a Force bill
for thes benefit of the negro?
There is in this Force bill
some devilish dasigu to involve
the country in -'disorder, possi
bly to force a 'war of races, and
by their wicked expedient to
divert public attftution from
the game of plunder which
they are playing with such
boldness and recklessness! No
manbelieyes that the bill will
add to the political power of
the negro, or will increase his
opportunities for wealth, edu
cation, moral culture or happi -hess.

The leaders of the Republi

doned the "wise, liberal and

by Garfield and happily carried
forward by Arthur and Cleve

"give the entire country a period
of material development ana
of progress in education and

the world has never known be

Her thrilling tones rising joyously,
When I am haply by her side.
And as we wander through the glen,

And light spring flowers; elastic bend
Beneath her gentle, fairy tread.

Ask the dark cloud whose glorious bow
Brings hope of peace to sorrow's brow.

We Cannot Divids-
"It is a condition and not a
theory that confronts us." Men
must not for the sake of any
thing turn the State into the
hands of the Radicals. To do
that i to pull down the build
ing upon themselves and de
stroy all future chance of af
fecting needed reforms. North
Carolina is for Financial and
Tariff and Pension Reform.
There is no doubt of that, and
all. our representatives in Con
gress will be for those reforms
Because there Is disagreement
upon one measure we must not,
nay we cannot and dare not,
turn the State over to the Rad
icals or send them to Congress.
We must present an unbroken
front to the enemy, and iu the
nominating convention settle
all our differences. The decis
ion of these canventions must
be final. To seek to reverse
them is to invite evils intoler
able and to secure an end to the

There is no donbt about that,
for it baa been fully demoav
strated by the success of those
who have given fine stock
their attention. The first cost
of a thoroughbred is something
more than of a scrub, but the
thoroughbsed costs no more1 to
raise than a scrub, aud hen it
is raised one has something
worth raising, something in
which there is not only pleas
ure to look at but profit in
keeping. There are herds in
this State which would delight
theeye of any lover of fine
stock, and we are glad to know
that the number rteadily in
creases. Wilmington Star.

As far as we can gather from the
reports in the State press the Re
publican managers are attending to
business, and seeing that the eaored
voters are registered. In some
counties they hare man paid for
his purpose, to go around and see
whether the negroes and white Re
publicans are registered, and if not
to see that they do register. Thin
is business, and it shows that the
Republican managers are attendiog
to business, and dont propose to be
left if they can help it. The probao
billties are-tbat by the time the re
gistering closes there will be few If
any Republicans iu th- State, who
are ut of the penitentiary, or jail,
who are not on the poh bats. This
emphasize the necessity of every
Democrat registeiiug, and doing so
at once. There are bu twelve days
left. It would be a burning shame
if the white men of this State were
beaten through their own indiffer
ence, and tha is the on If way they
can be beaten. Wilmington Star.
Sounding Prass
A business man here bad a
claim against a citizen of a
neighboring county, which, af
ter repeated efforts to collect,
he finally placed in the hands
of a lawyer in the debtor's
county town. Having waited
a considerable time the credi
tor dropped a postal card to
the lawyer as follows: "How
does that good man jingle?
The answer came on a postal
card by return mail: "As a
sounding brass and a tinkling
cymbal.'
