An Imitator of Congressman HogG, Who
Tells About Something Of Which he
Knows Very Little.
10 he Editor ofta Tn!elItgae1.
SIR:-Everything was created from the
elements Of nature. Philosophers esti-
mate the elements to be sixty or seventy.
The different kinds OF vegetables on the
earth wero created by q combination OF
some Of the many olements. The same is
true OF tho mineral and animal Kingdoms.
So 1t can be seen clearly, that the natural
differences between the many varieties Of
vegetables, Of minerals and OF animals de-
pend upon the Combinationa OF the ele.
menta out Of which they are created.
Rain ia formed from the constituent
parts Of water, oxygen and hydrogen
gases. These gases are distilled from the
water upon the surface OF the earth by
the heat from the sun. Tho hydrogen
gas being the lighter Of the two gases III
not Of many kinds Of gases), ascends to 0
considerable height above the earth. The
oxygen gas occupies q space from the
earth to a height Of six or seven miles,
but not exclusively. When the hydrogen
gas ia cooled to the proper degree It con.
tracts and descends; and II met by suffi-
Gent quantity Of ascending oxygen gas,
which has been rareaed to the pro-
per degree by heat, the union Of
the two gases form rain, snow or
hail, according to circumstances.
Circumstances alter cases in Natures
works Just the came :,aH they do in mans;
above the earth as well as on It's surface.
When these two gaHes become mingled in
certain ratios the electric spark ignites
them and they explode with q great re-
port, which We call thunder. The low
rumbliug noise heard for several seconds
after the original report, is caused by the
gases rushing in to fill up the vacuum,
and, being elastic, bound and rebound
with less report each time, until they
finally come to rest, or become inaudible.
Electricity ia a combination Of some or
all OF the lighter gases. The oxygen gas
ia also the air which we breath.

THE nITCnIE ILAlLNoAD ROUTE.

The Now Project Meeting with FRv0r-Re-
sources OF Richie and GIlmer Counties.
To he Editor Of he hleLItgno1.
sIR:-Your correspondent from Richie
Court Houge, in your issue Of tho 2Sd,
says with reference to the railroad pro.
posed from the mouth Of Cow Creek via
Cornwallis, Huntsville and Auburn,
Richie county, to Troy, in Gilmer coun-
ty, II would have 10 tunnel twice. II is
the opinion of many Of our citizens here
that there would not be q single tunnel
on the whole route. But by tresseling
and grading, together with cuts, the only
hills in the way could be crossed on good
grades. Our most influential and wealthy
men arc Btrongly in favor Of this route,
knowing that 1t not only would be Of great
benefit 10 the county, bnt paying in.
yestment to the stockholders.
Auburn Is located on Bone creek, a small
stream, draining q very fertile section OF
country, producing fine grain and
grass, and laden with fine forests, with as
fine timber Of as good quality as can be
found in the county, consisting OF poplar,
oak, &c. Oar timber merchants had ship.
ped carload after carload offine lumber, 1t
having to be tesmed to the B. & o. rail-
road, o distance Of eighteen miles.
There Ia vast amount Of produce ship.
ped out Of this section, and much more
would be, II We possessed the shipping
conyeniences. Our farmers and business
men are thrifty, industrious and energetic,
possessing the necessary qualifications to
make a country prosperous, and pros-
porous country Is the life and prosperity
OF G railroad.
Auburn and vicinity will be represented
at Richie O. H., on February 81, by en-
thusiastic and liberal minded men who
arc willing to do all in their power to
make this prospect SUCCESS.
The Troy coal fields yield 40 fine coal
as the noted Pennsylvania coal zelda.
Thousands OF dollars worth Of lumber is
being shipped yearly, by drifting and
rafting. There is poplar, ash, walnut,
oak, pine, in almost understandable guam
titles. What, with tho imports on this
route, coupled with the exports Of timber,
produce, coal, &C., road on this location
can be one Of tho beat oil Investments; an

Az Item Of nl.lorI.

In an editorial setting forth the actions
and virtues Of the Democratic party, the
Fairmont LndeI states, at was that party
that added California, Texas and vast
acres to our country" The INTELLIaRN-
CIR begs leave to remind the IHdsE that
lts party pride and ignorance Of history
leads 1t to claim Just little too much for
the Democratic organization. Texas was
"added to our country" March l, 1916,
under the administration Of Tyler, q
Wing, and while California came in dur
Ing Folks administration, it was General
Zach Taylor, q Wing, who fought the bat
ties that won it, and who, by reason Of
these services, more than any other, was
afterwards made President Of the United
States.
The Democratic party and the Demo
cratic press ara in the habit Of recklessly
claiming credit for everything, in which
there is in any merit, that!occuued pre-
yious 70 the late war. Unjust be remem'
berod that much that is glorious in thil
country's history was accomplished undel
other than Democratic administrations
and that the party Of free trade and seces
sion is responsible for much that lie in
glorious.
