There is no. a mill in North Georgia but
what is far behind with its orders. so great
is the demand for marble. And there are
miles and miles Of it there. The supply is
practically iuexhaustible. A hundred years
from to-day will find it to all
as il is now. The development has Just be-
gun. The mar BILE bed is more than a NILS
wide, where it has been tested, and creeps
out from Holly Springs, Ga, TO Murphy,
n. G. Even IN the comparatively small
portion OF Pickens county where it is being
quarried, over 500 men find employment,
and that is not a drop in the bucket 20 the
number that will be employed when the
whole marble belt shall have become dotted
all along with quarries and mills. These
hands get from 80 cents to 81 80 per day.
1t takes great deal of experience before
one can become a successful cutter. aud
most Of the expert cuttera are brought from
Ohio and Vermont, As yet very few Geor-
gians have mastered the trade. --t
Northern men who have followed the
business for years tell me that there is a
great deal more tno1ey to- be made quarry
ing marble here tban ia Ohio and Vermont,
because here the marble is OF good quality
at the top Of the ground, while in the north
the action Of the frost for ages tast has
damaged it to a great depth, thus making 1t
more expensive 10. take out Then, in this
state it is a very rare thing for the work to
be interfered with By cold, while In the
northern states there, are sometimes weeks
at a time when no work can be done.
Georgia marbis Is almost, or quite. as
valuable as the Italian marble. 1t is of the
''hsh~scale" variety, and is the most beanti-
full in the world - FiHished-thae is rubbed
but not polished there is nothing moreibeau-
tiful, as the millions OF scales show plainly
a great many Of them appearing to protrnde

North Georgia is fifty years bshiud the
times. Fifty years from now, when her
minerals are developed, when her wealth OF
timber is realized, when her wonderful
mineral springs have become known, when
the people Of other sections and out that
there Is so much wealth in the somber fas.-
nesses Of her rugged mountain-sdes. health

PET NAMES.
The Meaning and Origin of Nicknames
and Diminutives.
From BolC Bells


and Diminutives.
From Bon Bells
The use of pet names is peculiar neither
to this century nor the last. The fnvorite
diminutiYe at present is Fey" OF lie" as
seen in Charlie. George, Maudie and 80 on.
In earlier times the popular examinations
were in, on. ct, kin, cock and others. Emma
was shortened to En-. and for love's sake 1t
became Enmot or Emmett. Matilda was
first Til, then Tillot. Bartholomew was
Bart. then Little Bart or Bartlett.
The popularity of these pet names is seen
in the great number of them which event.
ually became family names. The Tillotsons,
the Emmets. the Bartletts are numerous In
England and America, although few dream
that these names were originally pet names
and not surnames. Before the use Of family
names it was often necessary to use the
diminutive forms. from the fact that the
same name was not infrequently given to
two or three children OF the same family.
The original OF the surname Robinson
is the pet name Robin, or Little
Robert. Rawlin, found as a surname in
Rawlins and Rawlinson, was originally
Little Ralph and Dickens Little Dick AS
Germans of to-day add chen to childrens
names as a term of endearment, making
Anna Annchen. Elizabeth Lischen, so our
English ancestry used the equivalent kin
Watkin was little Walter Simkin little
Simeon, Perkin little Peter; Wilcox was
once wilcox, or, as we
would say, Willie. Hitchcock or Hiscock, or
Hicock or Hickok was Isaac the younger.
Examinations in kin and cock were IN use
among the lower orders-that is, among the
Anglo-Saxons-while the diminuti yes in :,
on and ct were more aristocratic and used
by families of Norman blood.
SO frequent was the use of diminutives on
account OF the limited number Of names
that Bardsley calls the period from the
Norman conquest to the reformation the
pet name epoch" in England. Names of
favorite saints were repeated over and over,
John and Thomas, Emma and Matilda
being among those most freely used.
As showing to W hat base uses names may
come at last, we have the French word
Guillaume-derived from gild helm, or
golden helmet-twice thrown into pet form,
becoming Guillotin, or Little William
Then it became a surname and the family
name of the doctor who invented, or rather
adapted, tho deadly machine which bears
his name. So from a noble defender
William became an Internal prosecutor.

A Domestic Tragedy.

PATERSON, N. j., Sept, 28.-Frederick
Mellenburg mureered his wife and
wounded his daughter In this city yester-
day afternoon, and then committed sui
eide. A week ago Antonio Melenburg
sued his father 10 recover money he had
expended for repairs upon his parents
house. He recovered $75 judgment.
Since that time there has been continued
lighting between the parents and their
daughter, Mrs. Lena Roselle. Mrs. Ro-
selle visited her parents house yesterday
forenoon. She found her mother alone,
and sat talking with her some time be
fore her father appeared. As soon as be
entered the room he grabbed the daugh
ter by :he throat, and, pinning her
against the door, beat her with a strap.
The mother lnterfered, and the father,
letting go of the daughter, struck the
mother in the head, knocking her down.
Before she could rise Mellenburg pulled
a pistol from bis pocket, and, taking de-
lberate aim at bis daughter, shot her.
Lena fell, but, getting up at once, ran to
her mother and tried to pull her out of
the house. While she was trying to do
SO Meilenburg deliberately shot his wife
through the head. He then shot himself
in the temple. With the blood stream
ing down from the wound, he ran out of
the house and down the stoop, falling
dead at the foot of the steps. Mrs. Mel
lenburg, who was but partly dressed,
staggered out upon the stoop after her
husband, and fell dead.

A Serious Question.


OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 29.-The decision
of the Western Traffic Association, re-
quiring the Uuion Pacific to restore the
Montana rates, will cause some lively
rate trouble in the west. An officer Of
the line said to-day:
"The company will abandon the asso-
citation rather than submit. When the
Union Pacific made the rate in operation
TO Montana points, it did so because
there was not competitor for that busi-.
ness outside the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern. The Rio Grande West,
ern was not having a finger In the pie,
but through spite or pettey jealousy
brought the rate to the attention of the
commissioners last May, and now, when
the whole thing seems forgotten, reopen
the sore by declaring against the Union
Pacific on proposition that on its face
would clearly have been decided the
other way. It is candition that con-
fronts US, and not theory, and what Mr..
Lomax will do when be returns from
Chicago Is serious question"

Venezuelan Anafrs .

WASHINGTON, Sept, 2s.-The steamer
Caracas, which brought Yesterdays bud
get of news from Venezuela, also con-
tanned in her mail number of official
reports for the navy department from the
naval representatives in those waters.
The most of these reports are from Cap
tain White. Rear Admiral Walker hav-
ing been in port only few hours before
the Caracas sailed for the north, bis re
ports were necessarily brief. As to the
refugees, it is explained that the demand
has been made for them of the existing
government at Caracas, but that they
have not yet been secured, owing to the
inability OF the officials TO control affairs
away from the seat of government A
disposition is shown by the governmen.
to do all in Its limited power to secure
the release of the refugees, who are sup
posed to be still in prison at Maricaibo,
and to make all possible amends to the
United States for Urdaneta's summary
action in arresting them. 1t now appears
for the first time that one of the missions
of the cruisers sent south was to investl-
gate report received through the state
department that our consul at Bolivar
had been shot. Admiral Walker and
Captain White both assert that there is
no truth In the report of the attack on
the consul at Bolivar.

GERRYMANDERING.

The Albany Democrat never misses
en- opportunity to apologize for the
shortcomings of its party, and any
legislation passed by Democrats is al
ways defensible, but everything done
by Republicans is wrong. This has
been the course passed by 1t for many
years, and it cannot be expected to
get out Of the narrow partisan views
easily. On different occasions the
TIMEs-MoUNTAINEER has condemned
the practice of Democratic legislatures
in so apportioning the congressional
districts in the state as to nullify in
certain measure the popular vote, and
the answer from our contemporary has
been to the effect that Republicans
follow the same rule. Ir this same
line of puerile argument, "You're an
other" Is the following:
We notice that the MoUNTA1NEER and
other organs of protectionism heartily des.
plse the gerrymanderlng in Michigan, Wis
consin and New York, They grow loudly
indignant when they contemplate the Dem.
ocratic outrages in these states, but they
draw the line tightly when they reach the
Infamous Republican gerrymanders IN New
York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Ohio,
New Hampshire and other states. If the
nounce Republican gerrymandering as zeal
ously as Democratic gerrymandering. But
this 1t does not do, hence its mouthings
about Democratic gerrymanderings are
wholly unworthy of consideration or credit.
iAs the Democrat has frequently said, both
parties are guilty of shameless conduct in
this matter, and the only cure for 1t is to
educate the masses of voters up to that point
of moral duty that will cause them, without
regard to party, to vote out of power the
party that engages In 1t. This would effect
ually cure the body polite of this parasitic
disease.
Gerrymandering is wrong, and .here
is no excuse for it in American poll
tics. That Democrats have followed
ic, because by this means they secure
congressman in Republican states and
sometimes United States senators, can
not be denied. In fact, Senator Hill,
of New York, owes his seat in the
senate to this fraudulent practice. 1t
undoubtedly is one of the pet methods
of Tammany, and, since the truce be-
tween that ring and Mr.. Cleveland, it
will not be bitterly opposed. Of
course, Republicans may have been
guilty of the same policy, in order to
fight their opponents with their own
tactics; but this by no means makes it
right. The better elements in both
organizations should attempt reform
alton in such methods, and aim to
purify politics SO that the ballot-box
may be the free expression of the pop
ular will.

Only a Quest,on of Time

WAsHINeTon, Sept. 29.-Mrs. Harrison
continues to hold her own since her re-
turn to the White House, but there has
been no improvement. There is no sub
ject in which the women of Washington
are more interested than In Mrs. Harri-
sons condition, and the first thing asked
for each day is In regard to her. There
Is really no hope of her recovery, and it
is this that makes the long and terrible
fight she is making against death more
pathetic. 1t is fight almost without
hope. The attending physicians have
about told this to the president, and he is
prepared for the worst at any moment.
1t has only been through the very best
care and attention that the distinguished
patient has lived SO long. One of her
lungs is so badly affected that she is un-
able to breathe through it. So far, BY
reason of her wonderful constitution, she
has been able to hold her own agalns.
the disease, but the struggle is such an
unequal one that it is not to be expected
that she can keep it up much longer.
As a member of the White House family
sadly expressed it to-day: "It is only
question of time"

DUPLICITY.

It appears that Cleveland's letter of
acceptance is call things to all men,"
One Democratic exchange sees in it
the embodiment of all wisdom, another
thinks it is a full endorsement Of the
Chicago platform, and third "appeals
to the candor of Peoples party voters,
who have heretofore been Democrats,
to read the views of Mr.. Cleveland
and then say if they can find any ten
able objection to his views" 1t then
quotes the paragraph on the monetary
question, and adds: "This is broad
enough for any free-silver man.
What could be stronger than that the
people are entitled to sound and hon
est money, abundantly sufficient in
volume to supply their business de-
mands.' Every intelligent citizen of
the United States knows that Mr..
Cleveland is mono-metallist, because
he so expressed himself on more than
one occasion while he was chief exc
cutive of the nation, and this duplicity
to change him to free-silver man is
a partisan trick to delude the Popu-
lists. If he had not Enthusiastically
placed himself on record In favor of
gold as the only standard of the circu-
latlng medium, every one knows that
Wall street and Tammany would con-
troll his actions in national affairs in
that regard, and the views of the New
York millionaires ON monetary matters
are too well known to require any ex-
PLANTATION. This sop was held out to
the Peoples party before the last con-
gressional election, and the first oppor-
tunity the Democrats in the lower
house had to redeem their pledges was
when the Bland bill was before them,
which was defeated. The record of a
party or of an individual is more in
dlcative of future actions than the
verbose resolutions in platform, and
the published utterances of Mr.. Cleve-
land and the defeat of the silver bill
by Democratic votes conclusively prove
that free silver will receive no consid-
Grafton from the party. The language
of the letter will undoubtedly stand
many interpretations as regards its
meaning; but this one will strain the
texture of the fabric too much to suit
the past conduct of its trainers.

A Youthful Eiend,

SAN JOSE, CAL, Sept 27.-Johnnie Nav
arctic. a 6-year-old boy, was playing among
the rubbish at the city dump yesterday. He
found beer bottle, and called companion.
The other lad, who is ID years old, coveted
Johnnie's prize. Johnnie vowed he would
not give it up. At this the other seized the
little boy by the shoulders, and held him over
a portion of the refuse which was burning,
with his bare feet dangling IN the blaze. The
little fellow writhed and screamed under the
dreadful torture, but his tormentor laughed,
and it was only when he was tired out that
he LET the boy go. Almost crazed with pain,
the boy made his way to his fathers residence.
He was Immediately taken to physicians
office, where his injured feet were dressed.
They presented a sickening appearance. His
tormentor, whose name is Nathan Hackel-
back, was arrested.

TELEGRAPHIO NEWS.
A switchman,s Dea1h.

SPOKANE, WASH, Sept. 27.-John Kilduff
was run over by switch engine in the Great
Northern yards this morning and received in
juries which resulted in his death an hour
later. He was smployed as switchman by
the Northern Pacific until Saturday night,
when he resigned and, accepted similar
position with the Great Northern. This
morning about e:3o, as Engineer Thompson,
of switch-engine No. 9, was backing up pre-
pairing to leave for the Great Northern switch
yards, Kilduff attempted to get on, but the
engine being somewhat differently constructed
from the Northern engines, he missed his
hold and fell under the drive wheels. Before
the engine could be stopped it had passed
over him, breaking both legs between the
thigh and knee, cutting one foot off, crushing
the chest and inAicting fearful gash in the
head. He was taken to Sacred Heart hos
pital, where he expired at Io:4o. Kilduff
tried to talk after he was hurt, but could not
make himself understood. He attempted TO
tell the men who took him to the hospital
where he lived, but they could not understand
him. He was unmarried and lived in Spo-
kane some time, his father, mother and two
sisters living here.

An Idaho shootlng Anrau.

SPOKANE, Wash, Sept 29.-News
reached here to-day of fatal shooting
scrape which occurred last Sunday in the
town of Cottonwood, on Camas prairie, in
Idaho. The shot, which resulted In the
death of w. G. Chambers, was fired by
Price Yandell. An old feud existed be-
tween the men, and shots had been prev
ously exchanged. Sunday both parties.
who reside out of town, happened to be
in Cottonwood. The trouble was pre-
cipitated by one Neal PIckens, who
brought Yandell back to town as he was
leaving for home, on the pretense that
Chambers wanted to haye it out with
him. On his turning back, Pickens
leaned his revolver to Chambers, and
when the latter saw Yandell, be at
tempted to use it, but Ysndell fired first,
without result. He was arrested by
Deputy Sheriff johnson, anu locked up
in Gerding's saloon. Chambers and
Pickens came to the place and Piokens
forced the door, when Chambers entered
and began firing. Several shots were ex-
changed, and Chambers finally fell dead,
shot in the head, the ball entering below
the left eye. At the coroner's inquest
the jury rendered verdict of self defense,
and held Pickens as accessory to the
killing of Chambers.
