ICE FACTORY
FOR MARIETTA,
One of Latest Machinery to
be Built at Once.
NEW IMPROVED PROCESS.
Judge GOber and Mr.. +. p. DObbs Mt
the Head of the MOvememt-It
is a Certainty.

Some time ago, Judge George F.
Gober's attention was attracted to an
article in the Scientific American of the
invention of new ice-machine by
Mr.. d. t.. Holden, of Philadelphia,
which owing to its improved methods
would make purer ice at cheaper cost
than any other ice-machine now being
used. He Investigated it and made a
trip to Philadelphia and New, York
recently, and the result is he and Mr.. E.
T. Dobbs, of Marietta, have been given
the agency for the sale of the Holden
system of ice-making.
They will first erect a plant in
Marietta and will be able to sell a
better quality of ice at cheaper price to
dealers than can be done, it is said, by
any other manufacturer. These gen.
tlemen will commence work at once
and hope to have the plant in operation
by the 18th of April.
There is no reason why the thirty
dollars per day sent off elsewhere for
ice during the summer season shouldn't
be kept at home, where by its manu-
facture, men can be given employment
and their wages spent here among our
home merchants.
The Holden system of ice-making
means an entire revolution in the ice
industry, and the humiliation of other
systems of ice-making and harvesting
it means that 100 tons of ice can be
manufactured on a lot 25x5O and can
freeze thirty cubic feet of ice per square
foot of area in twenty-four hours, at a
cost of fifty cents per ton. The old
process of making is estimated at cost
of 81 .85 per ton.
So it can be seen what an advantage
Marietta will have in the manufacture
Of ice from this latest improved process.
Success to the enterprise.

A NATIONAL PARK HERE.
The BOer War Discussed. ''The Bat
tie" and Islander" Politically
Treated,
National Park.

Why cannot Marietta have nation
al park, or rather why cannot Kenne-
saw mountain and Cheatham's hill be
made part of the proposed Atlanta
park +? AS will be remembered this
movement was about to take place Just
little prior to the Spanish-American
war, its promoters having applied to
the Secretary of State for charter,
their intention being to begin it as a
private enterprise and then ask the
federal government to take it in hand.
The war however caused the scheme to
be abandoned.
1t is announced that parties have
purchased Cheatham's hill and will
convert it into park. This may be
the nucleus for a national park here
and we hope that Senator Clay, who is
very active in his efforts for the Allan
Ia park, if the bill comes to vote in
the senate, will see that his home town
is included in its provisions. Really
from historical and scenic points of
view the Atlanta park would be incom-
plete without Kennesaw mountain and
Cheatham's hill and though the tive
sections of the park would be separated
from each other by a few miles, this
would not be great disadvantage. 1t
is reported on excellent authority that
Mr.. Atkinson's electric railway will be
extended to Marietta in the near future,
and this with the Roswell and Austell
lines which seem to be assured, with
branches, could rapidly transport visi-
tors from one section to the other. The
Chickamauga park, believe, covers a
great extent of territory. The Nation
al cemetery at Marietta would be an
object of interest to visitors; and one
side of Kennesaw mountain could be
utilized by the. government as rifle
range to afford practice for the soldiers
stationed at Fort Mcpherson.
A committee of representative bust
ness men have been appointed to go to
Washington shortly to look after the
interests of the Atlanta enterprise.
Will not our board of trade and bust
ness men and citizens generally en-
deavor to interest them in this sug-
gestion

Darwinian Theory.

To my mind the so-called Darwinian
theory of evolution is meeting with
some back-sets. One of the pet argu-
ments of the advocates OF this notion
is, that small intestine in the human
body, known as the vermiformal ap-
pendage, which frequently causes the
now fashionable disease of appendici-
tbs, has no known use, and that it is
consequently documentary organ

The Battle,

God of right and justice hear us,
For Thy children crave Thy care.
In the battle be Thou near us,
With Thy presence ever cheer us;
Heavenly Father is our prayerl
Not for glory are we fighting,
Far from us the thoughts of gain;
Foreign foes our land are blighting,
God and truth. our rights, are sighting
Strike we must though we be slain.
See the Red-Coats now are coming,
Hear their loud eXultant yells;
Hark the lannon's deep toned booming
10, the lances up are looming,
List the dreadful Kissing shells.
In sullen rage they still advance,
While we bide our time to fire.
The hughes sound, the chargers prance
Poised to strike is the deadly lance
Save them God from Thy dread ire
But our banners proudly waving
Tell that Beers are not afraid
Help us Lord, our land in saving,
Keep us from the chains enslaving,
Aid us in the VOWS we've made
Now our rifles do not fail us
Gainst wild beasts your ever true;
Help us when our foes assail us,
Naught but God and you avail US
Ready now your duty do.
Mary horse has now no rider,
Britons all the field have fled;
Our lands hope was not denied her,

time in military efficiency, as is evinced
by the present war, must be startling

1t is announced that secret agents

So tar, regiment or two have gone

ing the many millions of people in the
British empire, to my mind, this is a
significant fact.

BOer War.

To my mind the war now being waged
in the Transvaal is grim, CHASTITY
satire upon the Briton Of today and his
government. When that subsidized
statesman, Chamberlain, justly styled
by the Germans as Jack o. Lantern
statesman, in high-fown and dictato-
rial language sent his ultimatum to
President Kruger, everybody wondered
at the hardihood of that rugged old
representative of the Beers in declining
to accede to it when it was known that
his noncompliance would result in
coercive measures being undertaken by
Britain; and after the war had actually
begun, not one person in ten thousand
believed that the Beers had even a
lighting chance but what do we see at
the present time? After sending a
vast army to South Africa, greater than
that commanded by Wellington at the
battle Of Waterloo, to chastise into
subsection handful of simple Dutch
farmers, they are themselves Obliged to
act upon the defensive, not being able
even to reach the territory Of their in
tended victims, but are caught like rats
in trap in their own towns from which
they cannot even escape to say nothing
of administering the promised fogging
to their despised opponents.

suspected, and the discovery was regard
ed as an important one. About ihres
months ago the efforts of the talented
lady scientist were crowned Yith success
along the lines laid down by herself. By
using different salis in continuation with
/ the bismuth she produced a substance
| with some of thes properties of Iariuni
which, after teing heated, had the power
of emitting EisibleIrays of light. This is
the substance which she has named
| "radium," ard which promises to reve-
luttonize the SYSTEM of house lighting.
OF REMARKABLE STRENGTH.
After she had obtained the long-sought-
for substance, Nine. Currie set herself
| about measuring dis power, and found
that there was no need for the fine In
struments which she had prepared Tor
| this purpose, as the light was strong
enough to be measured by ordinary meth
DDS. A negative Of ordinary density was
placed in frame In front of a fast pho
tographic plate. She found, after re-
peated trials, that she was able to OBJ
tain a strong impression in about fifteen
minutes-the slide produced was perfect
/ just as good as could be produced by
| daylight. A duplication OF the plate
showed that another could be produced
| in exactly the same time, which demon
| stratea that the power Of the light was
unchanged. At the end of two weeks,
