DISCOVERY AT THE ROMAN CITY OF
SILCHESTER, ENGLAND.
A correspondent writes {:

-
e. discovery of the greatest interest
has just rewarded Mr.. ST. John Hope and
his fellow explorers at Siicheste.. In one
of the houses, the foundations of which
have been laid bare, the ~eXCavdtOrs came
across a dry wei, which, on being expIor-
ep, proved quite a little museum Of anti
GUltieS. Some loft. down the diggtrS
found an urn-shaped pottery vase, about
a foot high, quite %intact, and, curiOusly
enough, protected by Jumps of chalk built
around it. The vase, which probably OIL
glnatiy contained some precious substance
was, EhoweveI, quite empty. Above it weto
deposited d great number of iron imple-
mehts, most of which were in u won
derful state Of preservation. They seem
to have been the tools OF a carpenter and
a cOppersmith or SilverSmith, with some
miscell aneous objects of blacksmith's
work thrown in. The principal speci-
men is a carpenters plane of quite modern
type, although PROFESSIONALLY more thap
1000 years old, three or four axes, %retailf-
nag their fine cutting edges and still quite
servlceable. a number0f chisels aud gOugeS

The Vacant Postmestership-The Far
mers and the Alliance.
LIVE OAK, FLA. April 90 Since the death
of Hon. William Bryson, late postmaster, the
citizens have been somewhat agitated about
the appointment of his successor. 1t is con-
ceded that democrat cannot get the office,
and that the best plan will be to try and
secure the appointment of the most salts
factory republican.
THE FARMERS ALLIANCE.
The farmers alliance seems to be estab-
fishing itself on a permanent basis in this
state and is placing itself in position to be
of substantial and practical benefit to its
members. r. f. Rogers of this county is
president of the state alliance, and in a
few days will leave for South Florida and
continue his speeches on the alliance in all
the counties in the orange belt.
FARMING OPERATIONS.
The farmers in this vicinity are deeply
engaged in their farming operations, for
which the weather has been quite propitious
during the past several weeks.
A cigar factory, just started near Live
Oak, is one of the new industries Of our
county.
1t is rumored that another paper will
commence publication here soon.

FARMERS IN A FIGHT.
TIE NATIONAL GRANGE NOT IN
LINE WITH THE ALLIANCE.

The President of the Former Opposed
to the Sub Treasury Scheme OF the
Latter-He Points Out Some OF the
Reasons Why the Plan is Not Prac-
ticable.
WASHINGTON, April 29-The national
| grange does not admit that it has been
| superseded by the National Farmers ALI
ance. The former maintains an active
representative here as well as the latter.
just now the master of the National
grange, J. H. Brigham, is here watching
congress and also watching his rival, Presi-
dent Polk Of the alliance in the interest of.
he says, over 100000 members Of the
grange Master Brigham speaks out very
| clearly in opposition to the only measure
the alliance has as yet presented to congress-
THE SCHEME RPRACTICABLE.
He says imam authorized interview: 1--WE
are opposed to the so-called sub-treasury
bill which proposes to establish government
warehouses in which farmers can ,deDosit
their products and borrow from the govern
ment 80 per cent. of their value. The
scheme is impracticable. 1t is one that
could not give the farmers any relief 1t is
not possible for this bill to pass congress
1t would be discrimination in favor of one
class of people. To add 81 900, 600 900 to the
amount of circulation currency at one
season OF the year and withdraw it at an
other would simply play havoc with the
finances of the country.
DR. MCUNE MISTAKEN.
'Dr. McCune is mistaken when he thinks
the farmer will be benefited by storing and
holding produce. There may be occasion
when combination is made to depress
prices wnen crop is just ready, but tele-
graphic facilities are so perfect that buyers
and sellers know what crop is worth when
it is ready to be sold. If the buyer sees a
profit he is ready to buy and the producer
II he sells at once, saves losses and shrink
age, stops interest on a debt, or has the
whole amount of money ready for other
uses.
NO MONEY IN HOLDING CROPS.
For twenty-five years have been prac-
teal farmer and | remember only two
years when | made anything by holding
crop. That is the experience pretty gener-
ally with farmers. Under this bill the gov
eminent might be used to make a corner,
on crops, and again it discriminates against
other labor. And here's another objection:
The farmer favors no tariff on agricultural
products. Now. without tariff, suppose
our farmers lock up their products for, say.
ten months with no duties to keep the pro
duce of other countries out. Why should
not they ship heres
A FORMER EXPERIENCE.
'Itmight have the same effect which fol-
lowed an effort to bull the grain market a.
few years ago. Spectators wanted to
make England pay higher for it. England
looked around, bought elsewhere, and the
result was that the next year we had two
crops on our hands. We have never yet
recovered from that. Then there is danger
of politics and corruption in it, disposition
to punish and reward enemies, and even
should the warehouses be built l don't be-
lieve the farmers would patronize them.n

PECTs ACQUITTED.

He Admits that he Was Near By, but
Saws he Took No Hand-The Dorsn
g. Wright Company. Resume Bust
Eress-The Railroad Percentage Cues
ton TO Come Up.
ATLANTA. GA, April 29.-Dan Hall,
charged with riot, for taking hand in the
whipping of fourteen negroes at East Point
last summer, was to-day acquitted. This is
the second acquittal in the cases, and the
presumption now is that all the parties in
dicted will escape conviction. Arnold
Jones, the old negro who was taken from
his bed and knouted, said he was willing to
swear, since hearing Halls voice in the
court room and observing his size and
rnustache, that he was the spokesman of
the whipping party. T. P. Aldridge, who
went to East Point as a policeman,
swore that he and Hall drove
near tine house where the whipping
was going on, but remained by their buggy
900 feet away. He is said to have added
that he wanted to kill a few hundred ne
groes. but didn't have chance. Hall and
his negro driver both asserted that they
didn't go nearer than $50 feet of the whip
ping. Other witnesses were examined, but
she jury of Halls guilt.
RAILROAD PERCENTAGE.
The railroad commissioners to-day re-
solved to notify the railroads and others
concerned, that on May % the commission
will consider the removal of the percent
ages now allowed over and above the stand
ard tariff rates.
CAN'T ISSUE THE BONDS.
The CITY attorney has concluded that the
bonds recently voted for water works can
not be legally issued since they failed to re-
ceive two-thiuds of the whole number of
qualified votes of the city. Two-thirds of
those voting on the question favored the
bonds.
BOWIE LOSES HIS SUIT.
Judge Newman decided that w. F. Bowe,
the contractor who sued the government
because Capt. Jacobs rejected material
furnished and work done by him at the At
lanta barracks, is not entitled to damages.
Mr. Bowe claimed $4,000 His was the
first case brought under the congressional
act of 1887, allowing the government to be
sued in the circuit courts.
PLEDGER FOR POSTMASTER.
Bill Pledger, ST., says that if Matt Davi
fails to get the Athens postoffice he viii try
and gobble it up himself.
BROKERS RESUME BUSINESS.
The Doran g. Wright Company have
compromised matters with their creditors
and resumed operations. The Atlanta
branch to-day threw open its doors and did
a business of about 200 shares, or about
half days work. The company claim
that they have never actually suspended,
and three New York papers have been sued
for damages for publishing an announce
ment to that effect.
MONEY FOR OXFORD COLLEGE.
