men of that splendid city nothing inn
pressed me so much as the pride they
take in relating the achievements of
some Of the bright men who have
come down from the North, to join
hands with the old native stock in de-
veloping the country.
They told me of one remarkable
man who came from New York in
1876, and proceeded to make himself q
leader in several different lines Of
work, all of which are related to the
prosperity of the whole region rather
than to that of an individual or Of a
single community. The story is we'll
worth telling, because 1t shows that
human resources are quite as import
ant as the material advantages which
are usually grouped under the head Of
natural resources, such as climate.
soil, timber and minerals. A country
may be richly endowed with the lat
ter, but 1t must find the genius to use
them in the best way before it can be
great country. This fact Is fully
appreciated in Georgia, which is con-
sequently proud of the enterprising
men 1t has attracted into its citizen
ship from other parts of the United
States and anxious to get more Of
them.

WHISTLES TOO NOISY.

TURBLNCE OF SICK.
Mrs. Isaac b. Rice, q Wealthy New
Yorker, States that Half of the
Vast Mabbub Raised by Boat
Whistles Is Useless.

Mrs. Isaac L. Rice is one of tn,
few rich and influential women Of
New York who is constantly looking
after the needs and comfort of those
less fortunate in the awarding O.
the worlds goods than herself.
Mrs. Rice Is philanthropic woman
who has never permitted her wealth
and comfortable surroundings to
blind her to the want and suffering
around her and has recently been
making strong effort to have al
least one nuisance abated-a nuisance
in one sense and menace to many
lives.
This is the constant and, as Mrs
Rice declares, the Unnecessary blow.
ing of whistles and signals in New
York harbor. Night and day these
ear splitting whistles and sirens can
be heard for distance Of thirteen
and half miles over the city and
through careful investigation Mrs.
Rice has found that hundreds of in
valids in hospitals and nervous wo-
men in homes are driven almost to
distraction.
From her palatial home in New
York's most exclusive resident section
riverside Drive-Mrs. Rice has
gone forth to investigate this and
see if there were not some means by
which the sufferings of the poor ano
invalid people might be relieved.
She first took her case to the au-
thorities In New York who told her
any remedial measures were without
their jurisdiction and that she must
make an appeal to Washington.
Leaving her handsome home in
New York Mrs. Rice went to Washing
ton and laid the matter before the
Department of Commerce and Labor.
She told the officials of the depart
ment of the $4,000 sick people in
New York whose suffering was made
two fold by this unnecessary noise;
she told how nervous men and women
were unable to get sleep because of
the continual, piercing shrieks of the
river boats and she told them, too, |,
how river men themselves had said
that so many unnecessary signals in
duced collisions.
Mrs. Rice's fight was not against
the lawful signals but against the IN
Vulnerable blasts that were sent out
as particular meanings to river men
land their crews. Scows coming up|
the river would begin blowing two
miles down and never cease until they
reached their wharves. This was a
warning to their crews to make ready
to get out.

worked to have all but necessary sig

A SIXTY
FOOT ROAD
The Right-Away of this Road
Will Cost Nothing The
Summer Park Again.

Anent the agitation going on for the
extension of the ear line To the Sui
phuT Spring East OF town, and the
opening of summer park there which
has been going on in this paper, Mr.
G. A. Martin, who ownes the spring
and property adjoing, proposes to give
the right of way along his farm sulfici-
ent To make n 90 foot road to the
spring, and TO sell ten acres OF land
there at very reasonable rates. 1t is
understood that the other land owners,
Messrs A. j. Steele and Buston & Sons
will give like amount OF room along
their farms.
wide, well graded and mcadamized
road to the spring and park would be
"A nice and valuable addition to the
comfort OF Tazewell life. All necessary
work can be done at the spring for "a
small amount. To begin with, rot over
$4,000 would be needed to nav for the
ten acres and put it in such shape as
to insure it's pernanence as a resting
place and resort for summer use. The
proposition of Mr.. Martin and the
other owners of property along the
line rs II liberal one, and would insure
the extension of the car line to the
same point in a short time.
In fact, it would be money in the
treasury OF the railroad people to take
the matter up OF opening the park, ON
their own account.
There is enough surplus money ly-
ing around in Tazewell, doing little or
no good, TO build halfdozen such
roads. But-how to get it, is the
question.
