Representative Bland of Missouri,
chairman of the Committee on Coin
age, has been interviewed concern
ing the opinions of the majority Of
the committee on the silver question.
He thinks a majority favor bill to
suspend the coinage OF standard dol
lars, as some of the members who cali
themselves silver men favor suspen
sion, and some kind of bill will un-
doubtly he reported on the subject.
He thinks, however, that a majority
Of the members Of the House are
against suspension, and he is confidei t
that the body will pass bill in favor
Of the free coinage of silver.
The action of Bismark against the
Volks Zeitung for libel will be decid-
ed by the end of the month The
action is based on an article publish
ed in that newspaper in defense Of
the proposal for the payment OF Dep
uties, which was in subsistence as fol-
lows: why reproach paid Deputies
as statesmen selling their opinions,
seeing that Prince Bismark has &C
cepted gift Of GI25,O00 subscribed
by his agrarian and protectionist
supporters.
Last year the Government, accord
ing to Secretary Manning's report,
realized profit of 051,284.96 on
silver coinage. This rightfully be-
lenged to the bullion producers, and
should have gone into their pockets
instead Of the United States Treasury.
The coinage Of silver had always been
free at the Mint from the time it was
established on April the 2nd, 1892, to
April LIST, 1873, when the act demon-
etizing silver went into effect.
Senator Vance, of North Carolina,
has raked the gold-bugs fore and aft
in speech in the Senate, and Repre-
resentative Reagan, Of Texts, has Civ
en- them broadside in the House.
The President ought to begin to think
that he made mistake in putting a
national bank President at the head
Of the Treasury Department., and
another when he embodied in his
message the sophistries Of tina. indi-
yidual on finance.
The New York Worlds Jackson
vile, Fla, special of the 18th says:
This has been the longest and sever
est cold spell ever felt in Florida.
The loss in oranges on trees, accord
ing to Captain Ives, Manager Of the
Fruit Exchange, is $1,00O,000. The
loss to the vegetable crops is immense,
some men having 60 to 100 acres kill |
ed. The freeze extended to the ex-
treme southern point of the peninsula.
A resolution by Senator Hoar was
offered and referred to committee on
Foreign relations, requesting the
President to take measures to have

to embrace embezzlement and other
breaches of trust.

Mr.. W. A. Warmer died on last friday
OF pneumonia. Albert was good, moral
boy. very obedient to his parents. and uni
versally liked and loved by all who knew
him.
Mr. S. ]. Dormany died near this place
on Monday last. Mr.. Dormany was an
old man, and very near an entire stranger
in this community. He was Missionary
Baptist minister. He was here without
any kindred. After his death he was TAX
en- in hand by the citizens of this place
and kindly and decen:ly inferred at the
Baptist church cemetery on Tuesday even
ing.
Mr.. Andrew Wall informs us that he
has one hundred acres of cotton to plant
over, and has only 20 bushels of seed to
plant it with. There is considerable de-
mand for cotton seed through this section.
The idea is that a great many throughout
the country sell their cotton seed to the oil
milla during the fall and worry their neigh
bors about planting seed in the spring.
Our school at this place is gradually
growing about thirty-seven pupils at
present. Miss Minnie Huff, our teacher,
is giving entire satisfaction.

TheY Will Picnic.

The Sunday-schools of the city
will have the annual May picnic,
and the little boys and girls will
be allowed to fill up on lemonade
and goodies, the older ones will
pair off and engage in tete-a-tetes,
smiles and sentimental gush,
while the old people will sit
around, guard the baskets and
think of the times and picnics
when they, too, were young. Sun
day the schools appointed the fol-
lowing committees to select time
and place for the occasion:
BAPTIST SCHooL-R. L. Melton,
J. A. Horsley, Edward Orr, Miss
Kittie Orr, Mrs. W. r. Melton
and Mrs. B. w. Davis.

A Crazy Tramp.

Last Monday Sheriff Thornton
received postal card from DR.. l.
ID. Graves stating that there was
a white man at the station whose
actions indicated insanity. He
was found at a spring with large
rock in his hand and threatened
to kill any one who might ap-
proach. He said the water was
impure, and would dip it dp and
pour it over the rock, which he
claimed purified it. Sunday af-
ternoon he spent playing in a
branch near by and that
night broke up public worship at
a colored church by badly fright
enlng several of the meek and
lowly brethren and sisters. The
description given of him suits the
tramp that loafed around our town
several days last week fancifully
arrayed with old turkey feathers on
his dirty clothes and hat. While
here he claimed to be from Wash
lngton, Ga, and a matchmaker by
trade. Before he left here sew
eral of oul citizens decided his
trampship was weak in the upper
story Sheriff Thornton, having
no authority in the premises, did
not interfere with the erratic or
insane man, and by now he is
probably in another locality dis
turbing the ease and peace of the
people.

Onarter.r Conference.

The second Quarterly Confer
ence of the Dawson and Dover
charge was held at Dover on Sat-
urday and Sunday last. The Pre-
siding Elder, Rev. Mr.. Twitty,
was present and was cordially
greeted by his many friends and
admirers OF that neighberhood.
Having just recovered from a
spell of catarrhal fever, he was
very feeble, but preached both
days very acceptably to good con
gregations. There was a fair at
tendance of the official members,
each church being represented.
The reports, financial and relig-
ious, were quite encouraging and
were warmly commended by the
Presiding Elder. At the close of
Sundays services one young man
made application for membership.
