roads, reached my friend, Rev. Dave
Carter, at II A. NJ. Being well sup
piled in my saddlebags, however,
with all the necessaries for the inner
man, l declined his hospitable offer
of partas.ng dinner with him, and
crossed Chattooga river at the Rho
letter Ford, three miles above Tai
lulah river, and landed safe and
sound at the hosiery, near Sinking
Mountain, kept by Mrs. Aunt Fan
ME Smith, world ld-renowned, not only
for the substantial and well-cooked
meals, but her kind heart, hospitality
and talkativeness in general. Her
hotel register shows many names of
many tongues and from all quarters
of the globe, who come to view the
grand and unexcelled scenery of
Tallulah Falls and gaze at natures
wonder, the Sinking Mountain, stu
ated on Mrs. Smiths property, on
Chattooga river.
Being engaged two years ago for
some time on that part of the river
in buying up and marking timber, l
gave this mountain my thoughts and
careful study, and, from what | have
learned and seen, / came to the
conclusion that the same has been
literally undermined by shafts and
tunnels ages ago by Spaniards and
Indians in search of precious metals,
and time will sho,5 that my theory
is correct in having the property

all day, the roads hardly fit to travel

Passing through the Northern part
of Dawson county, Ga, into Lump

the county seat OF said county, and
was royalty received by mine host,
Jas. Allen, the proprietor of the Hall

Dahlonega and of the neighboring
mines.

around there I couldn't see, as corn
and fodder are very scare articles
with them.
Murphy lies very picturesque in
the forks of the Valley and Hiawas-
see rivers, has two depots, one for
the Western North Carolina Railroad,
on the North side of the Hiawassee
river, and the other on the South
side of the same, where the narrow
gauge extension of the Marietta and
North georgia Railroad, from the
Blue Ridge stops. Connections be-
tween both depcts have to be made
by conveyance or on foot, over
mile distance, through mud three
feet deep. In conversation with
citizens learned that this muddy
punishment is put on the traveller
for the purpose of making him stay
over night at this town.
All the talk in Murphy is tobacco,
mineral and blind tigers and I have
seen more mineral prospectors, specu-
lators, land agents and sharks during
my short stay there than have seen
in the same length of time in any
mining town of the Pacific coast or
Australia, and after all it amounts to
very little, as mining properties are
held too high and therefore scares
investors away.

TIE bill to repeal the Federal Elec-
tions law passed the House yesterday.
It is a dreadfully partisan bill The Re
publlcans opposed it as they opposed the
various Australian ballot laws. The
Democrats advocate repeal because the
election laws have been used TO promote
such actions as Mshaify aud Maeallister
were guilty Of here; the effrontery, in.
justice and the unconstitutional arrests
that Davenport made In New York. The
people Of this city became acquainted
with the partisan and cowardiy preteuse
of the execution Of the election laws
when they beheld the absolute suppress
sion Of Mahafy and Macallister by the
show Of force that the state constables
made here In the election Of 1892 The
quietest and most orderly election ever
held in Wilmington was that in which
the minions Of the partlsans in power did
not dare to appear in public. We do not
need to tell the people here that the
Mahaifys and Macallisters. the fruits OF
the Federal Elections law. should be abol.
lshed. No respectable Republican will
uphold them.
