Visit to a Quarry-An Old Fort
and an Old DemOcrat-The
Greed Farm-SehO0l Visit
Miscellaneous.

AT HOME, OCT. 5.
To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
Since closing my last letter, l
have visited the marble quarry of
Mr.. Dougherty, at old Quarryville
P. o.. now known as Doughertyville
P. o. The real estate consists of
fifty acres purchased from Andrew
Galbraith some fifteen years ago,
though the quarry has been worked
about thirty years. The marble runs
in streaks through the base of the
hill known formerly as Potato Hill,
and now as Marble Knob A vast
amount Of the stone gotten out
proves valueless for marble, while
what is worked is of superior quail
ity. Mr.. Dougherty, the owner, re-
sides in Philadelphia. The marble
is gotten out on contract by James
Wright. who delivers 1t at the cars
in Whitesburg, a dozen miles or SO
from the quarry. Itis gotten out in
blocks-some of them huge in pro-
portions. weighing twenty tons or
more-carted short distance to the
river, loaded on boats and conveyed
only two miles, when it is lifted upon
wheels and carted to Whitesburg.
The stone finds a market in all the
eastern cities along the Atlantic
coast as far north as Boston and
south to New Orleans. The quarry
ing. saving and fitting into buildings
give employment to large number
of men. and Mr.. Dougherty and
Mr.. Wright make good thing out
of the operation.
After selling fifty acres where the
quarry is. Mr.. Andrew GaIhraith has
400 or more acres left, which he is
cultivating. He was postmaster of
Quarryville ?. o. some 16 years,
when it was abolished. and when re-
established named DoughertyviIie
P. O.. and removed to the house of
his brother, Joseph Galbraith.
The farm on which the brothers
Galbraith live was owned by their
father, Andrew. who settled on it in
l800-78 years ago. There was then
the remains of a fort on it, which
had been used as a protection to the
whites from the hostilities of the In
dians. Andrew informed me that,
though the site had been cultivated
ever since his fathers settlement, he
could trace the site of the fort by
the superior agricultural products
where it was situated. The site is
now level with the surrounding
ground.
Only few rods from the site of
the old fort now stands a neat, white !
church edifice, owned, I believe, by |
the Methodist denomination. 1t is
known as Quarryville church.
Called on William Henry Harri-
son Moore, Esq, who resides near
Mooresburg, whose fathers name, l
presume, gave nomenclature to the
town. At any rate, Mr.. Moore was
named after General Harrison as
long ago as 1914, which shows that
the genius of the rising General was
by the parents of the
al that early day. In 1910,
Gen. Harrison was elected President
of the United States without the
vote of his namesake, who cast his
suffrage for Martin Van Buren,. He
now prides himself on having been
a straight forward Democrat all his
days, and still adheres to 1.-The par
ty." -

A suit was commenced al Goldsboro',
N. c., recently under these peculiar
circumstances: John Ingram, wealthy
man and great joker, was applied to for
work by Hodges. He told Hodges he
would give him two Thousand dollars for
5000 lizard skins. The poor man said
he would enter into the contract, proyi-
dcd the jesting gentleman would give
him his note payable when the hides
were delivered. Ingram little dreaming
that the contract could be complied with
signed the note in the presence of wit
nesses, and Hodges went on his way.
He repaired with his wife ard five chill
dren to the mountains, and commenced
war on the reptiles. He was successful
from the start, and in an incredible short
time the 6, 600 hides were procured. He
took them to Ingram, and demanded the
two thousand dollars. Ingram explain
ed that the affair was only joke, and
Hodges sues for the 1000. And we
hope viii recover it.

1 met at Mr.. Kapp's a young
school teacher by the name of Cald

him to his school on Thursday mora

the scholars some talk, which I hope
was pat and will do the travellers up
the hill of knowledge some good,
and encourage them to persevere in
their efforts to obtain an education
that will fit them to act we'll their
parts in the future. The teacher
seemed TO be a conscientious, faith
full young man, and l wish him eve
ry success in his important calling.
w. r. StubbIe1eld, who resides in
Hawkins county and gets the GA
zETTE at Mooresburg, showed me
over his farm. On taking me to his
sweet potato field, the first hill he
came to he dug down and pulled up
white Hayti which weighed a
pounds. He has young orchard.
but did not see but one tree which
seemed to be affected by the shining
of the hot afternoon sun upon it.
But he will do well to watch it.
Coming over the river at Dotson's
ferry, entered Mr.. James p. CARR.

him in Lynchburg S60O-$2o0 more
than he feared, at one time, he could
command. So he pocketed that 5000
with a chuckle. He has raised only
about one-fourth of the amount this
season. He intends to put in 80
acres of wheat. this fall, and next
year stuff the market with his tobac-
co, believing, as he says. he had bet
ter try those crops again, even if
many farmers have tired of raising
them at loss. He has already got
ten in broad acres of winter wheat.

On THE ROAD, Oct. 1.
Since l wrote this morning, have
bethought me that this g curious
valley runs to the southwest from
the northeast, rather than from north
to south.
Called on Chesley Jarnagin. at
the store of his son, Thomas j. Jar
nagin. Chesley says he is rs years
Of age, about worn out and not good
for much, any way, though he has
lived a long life and. enjoyed two
fortunes. One consisted of speols-
led hen and the egg she laid in one
hour after he came in possession of
her. Then he was rich, indeed, in
his own feelings and estimate on !
His next fortune was gained aud
enjoyed when he received butter
knife from his teacher for learning
to repeat the alphabet both ways.
He lugged pine knots from the fields
and studied his lesson night after
night, till his task was accomplished.
which proved him to be a persistent
scholar. If not very quick to learn,
He has learned, he thinks, that the
sum total the whole world is worth
to any one man is not more than one
dollar and fifty cents-that is all he
would give for it, and if he could
buy it for that price and a man
should offer him one dollar and afty
one cents for 1t he would take it,
and feel that the purchaser had the
worst end of the bargain. Such is
the difference in estimating the
worth Of this mundane sphere and its
belongings between early youth and
5 extreme old age !IxFr-s-~-
Stopped awhile with NJ. B, Dal-
ton. He has good sized farm. and
although well advanced in years has
young wife, set of young chill
dren, and a young orchard. 1t is of
: and about the latter which wish
freely to speak in print, for the ben
eft of others who either have or in
tend to have young orchards.
1 observe, in all the region of East
Tenn essee over which have travel
ed. that the trunks of fruit trees on
the side exposed to the rays of the |
hot sun from one to three o'clock are
defective the bark is either rough |
or the trees have shed the bark and |
the trunk of the trees on the south
west side are rotten, and the conse-
quence is, that the trees meet with |
early decay and premature destruc-
tion. 1 have many times been asked
the reason for this destI uction Of
our fruit trees. 1 have answered
! In the latter part Of winter, when
the sap begins to ascend, the cold
nights CONCEAL the sap after having
been warmed by the sun Of the pre-
vious day. and the sun of the sue
ceeding afternoon but aggrivates
the irregularity; the unnatural ac-
ton of the two elements-heas and
cold-burst the veins or vessels mp
which the sapis ascending to form
the leaves and buds and cause them
all on one-f(th to one-fourth OF the
circumference Of the cree to run to-
gether. Hence, the bark is lifted
from the tree, it breaks, becomes
hard. ultimately falls off or allows
the SHOWS and rains to penetrate
under it, and rot the tree. Posi-

IAN THE 1sT OF MAY, 1876,
passed into the hands of the undersigned, under
whose absolute and .untranIne He'd direction THE
WORLD has ever since remained and now remains.
During the whole of this time the The WORLD
has labored patiently and perseyeringly for the
paramount interest to the Southern people.
1.-The restoration of Local Self-Government at
: ia Real Reform of the Civil Service, in such
wise to destroy the political machines under the
operation of which it has come to pass that the peo
poiiticcI parties have no other reason Of being ex-
cept to lessen the burdens of government. -NQ
The first of these objects has been triuInphantly
accomplished An intelligent Northern men now
admit that all parts of the country were as deeply
interested as the South. A corrupt and anti DEM
oeratic government in the South was permanent
peril to the ascendancy of true American princi-
| the peace and honor of the whole people. E94r
| The second political object for which THRwoRLD
contends still remains to be fully achieved The
actual Administration began its career with excel
lent promises in this direction of which it is suti
cien to say that they have been yet only in part
redeemed. THE WORLD for it's part will resolutely
support any honest effort to redeem these prOnis-
es fully, by whomsoever made, and viii as resol-,
utely denounce every obstacle thrown in the way
1t seems to the undersigned eminently proper
that he should ask the cooperation of the best men
of the South with The WORLD in itseffOrts to carry
out the policy here outlined. He believes THE
WORLD to be paper which Southern citizens and
Democrats can recommend to Southern readers as
! an influence worthy AID important to be brought
to bear with constantly increasing power upon the
conduct of our national affairs. IN the interest OF
truth, of justice and of harmony among our people
| of all sections.
1T is my object to keep THE WORLD in living
relation with the best thought of the South, to the
end that the best ideas, wishes and feelings Of the
Southern people may be clearly and fairly made
known to the North, the East and the West. Alike
in private and public affairs the misunderstanding
of men by another lies at the root of so nfnch
evil that the word itself has come to be . SYNONYM
with quarreling and strife. 1t was wise saying
of Lord Elgin, the time of one of our shArpest
disputes With Great Britain, thattwo intelligent
gentlemen alone ON raft in the Atlantic with pe
nary powers could adjust the whole matter hOnor-
ably in an honor. aifH t.g rn1fFaa9 49,.
The WORLD simply asks its friends at the South,
to aid it in bringing about completes meeting Of
minds on all public questions between the intelli-
gent citizens Of all parts of the Union

former editor of the Knoxville Tribune !.
Hon. John M. Fleming, the gifted and
accomplished editor of the Knoxville

ton within the gift of his people While
the State was denied the benefit of his
services, we congratulate the press that
they are not deprived of his efficient
labors. r
A thousand dollars from the President

their effects upon the relationship of
nations and the human family The
