HOW THE PROJECT STARTED
Generosity of the South to the
Northwest in Its Need-What the
Colonists Are Doing-Loyal 10

Within n few miles of the scene of
the capture of Jefferson Davis at the
close OF the civil war may now be seen
one OF the most remarkable colonies
ever organized i'm this country. Again
the Union soldiers are marching
through Georgia." but this time they
come with peaceful intentions. armed
only with the hoe and spade, and they
nave come to stay. Already 1900 wear
ers OF the hlur are on the ground: and
by Jan. l, 1897. fully 10000 of them will
be living within a radius of 10 miles
from the town of Fitzgerald. With
the civilians who have determined to
take part in the venture. and the fam
lies of the colonists, is is estimated
that the settlement will number $4,000
souls when New Year is next celebrat-
ed there t
1t is an interesting story-the way
this project originated. All will remem-
ber the cry OF destitution which came
from Nebraska and the adjoining re-
gion during the winter OF lS94-95, in
consequence of the faIiure OF crops
from draughts during the preceding
season. At that time the corn bins OF
the southern planters were abundantly
filled; and II occurred to Richard Ed
monds. editor of the Manufacturers'

Northwest by sending a train load of
provisions and clothing to relieve the
suffering. He communicated with ex-
Governor Northen of Georgia. who took
charge of the matter. and as a result q
cars loaded with southern products
rolled out of Atlanta one afternoon in
the latter part of January bound for
the afflicted district. The governor
soon began receiving letters OF graft
tude from those who had been relieved
Among these there were some from old
soldiers who had taken up farms In the
West, expressing a wish TO come South
and make homes there. Governor
Northen answered that they would re-
ceive a hearty welcome. and that he
would aid them in every way possible.
This started the idea.

The Ark Born Man,

Hundreds of the ancient cleaners of mis-
cellaneous curios, legends, myths and ira
ditions give us to understand that Cush
was born on the ark. Others claim that
there was child born on the sacred vessel,
but that it was sacrificed 10 one of the wild
beasts, Noah declaring that no person
should leave the ark who had not gone on
board in the regulation manner. The
weight OF the evidence as il is given by
the Talmudic writer's is TO the effect that
Cush is the person referred TO by the old
time mystery cleaners when they speak of
the ark born" man. The sacred books,
as well rs the scores OF Biblical encyclope-
dias, handbooks of ancient history. etc,
are silent on the subject. In reprint of
one of the rare old Saxon Chronicles"
find u clew to the mystery, and another
slight hint in an explanatory note in Her
bert's "Nimrod.' In the Saxon Chroni-
cles' the following occurs: "Bedwig was
the son OF Shem, who was the son of Noah,
and he (Bedwig) was born on the ark. ;"
Herbert's note in ''Nimrod volume =,
page 81. says, "Kybelc is the ark, ami as
Cush was begotten in the ark his posterity
were in peculiar sense descended from
that ship" Although Herbert makes no
direct reference to the fact of Cush being
actually born in the ark, he speaks of him
in several places as 'Cush the ark born :"
The Talmudic writers discredit the Bedwis
story, but declare that Cush was born or
