CHEHALIs COUNTY HAPPENINGS.
From Elma Chronicle:
j. r. Wolf, OF Sharon, was in town
Tuesday and made this office pleasant
call. He reports much grain in his
neighborhood injured by the rain.
w. Birmingham informs Us that in the
event of his establishing the creamery
here, feed mill and fruit canning indus
try will be added as soon as business will
justify.
Ex-Sherif H. III. Carter passed through
town Wednesday on his way to Mason
county, to look after some road building
in that county for which he has the con,
tract.
The receipts of the postoffice and the
railroad station are the most reliable in
dicators OF the volume of trade-and right
here we rise to remark that the earnings
at this station last Saturday amounted tt
$767.50. This in dull times, too. What's
the matter with Elma? She's all right
From Montesano Vidette:
Judge E. Bacon left on Thursday fol-
southern Oregon, in the hope of bene
fitting his health. The length of absence
depends upon the benefits received.
Mrs. William Geissler, who has been al
her old home in Minnesota for the past
four months, returned Saturday, very
much pleased with her trip but glad tc
get back to Montesano.
A circular has been received from the
Griswold Manufacturing Co., Chicago
makers of Griswold's Combined Handy
Button. Our readers will have guessed
that this refers to Judge Griswold and
his patent pants button. Here is hoping
he may have great success in his under
taking.
Last evening J. P. Carson received a
dispatch from Mrs. Carson, who is visit
ing at Port Huron, Mich, announcing the
death of their little daughter Josephine,
sweet little child about year old. No
particulars as to the cause of her death
were sent. The last word received by
Mr.. Carson was to the effect that all were
we'll. Genuine sympathy is felt by all for
the parents in the loss of their only child.
Mr.. Carson left this morning for Port
Huron.
From The Washingtonian:
Nearly all the Hoquiam logging camps
have resumed operations during the past
week.
The Siade mill starts up again Monday
for continual run, with two big orders
on hand-one for 1000, 900 spruce and the
other for 100000 fir.
The total amount of lumber shipped
from Grays harbor during August was
4,037 900 feet, divided as follows: Ho
GUAM, 1,4O7.OOO; Aberdeen, i 100000
Cosmopolis, 1,170,O00.
Another teacher is to be added to the
Hoquiam schools-Miss Addie Rowland
commencing her work on Monday next
This makes five female teachers end Mr.
Cushman, the principal.
A. M. Scribor, New York gentleman

in hunting was poor, he is enthusiastic
in regard to the grand country which he
visited.

A New Currency Schema.

1t is stated that an important confer
ence was held at the treasury department
Saturday, in which the Secretary of the
Treasury, the speaker of the House and
members of the committee on banking and
currency took part, relative to a substi-
tute for the national bank currency, hay
ing all the security of that currency, but
not based upon government bonds.
There is great deal of opposition to re-
pealing the ten per cent. tax on state bank
currency, thus opening the way for the
establishment Of state banks upon such a
basis as each state might determine. The
ground of opposition is that in some of the
states sufficient care would not be taken
to protect the notes that would be issued
and the consequence would be that the
country would be flooded with wild cat"
money, just as it was prior to the civil
war.
If the report in respect to the confer
ence at the treasury department Sat
urday is correct, the scheme proposed
is that the national banks shall sur
render their charters and that all banks
shall receive their charters from their
respective Sldb6o, Uub budJ all nOJeS
shall be supplied by the government
Enough is not yet known of the scheme to
say what the security for the notes of the
banks is to be, bit the inference is that it
is to be as good as that for national bank
notes. If this inference is correct the
scheme will meet with very little opposi-
ton. What the people insist upon is that
whatever currency is put into circlation
shall be sound and well secured. The
people cannot afford to be in doubt as to
the genuineness or worth of any bank
note offered to them.
1t is said that good many of the presi-
dents of national banks have been con
suited in respect to the proposed currency
system, and have expressed a willing
ness to accept it. In its behalf it is
claimed that it is flexible and will afford
all the currency for any section of coun-
try that can possibly be needed. Should
it take the form of a bill and be offered in
the House, it is believed that good deal
of the opposition to the repeal of the
Sherman silver law in the Senate would
disappear.

Cotton Factories in the South.
The report made boy Mr. Henry C. Hes
ter, the secretary o. The New Orleans
Cotton Exchange for the cotton season
ending Aug 81 last shows that there is "a
steady increase in the manufacture Of
cotton goods iu the south As already
stated IN the MORNING NEWS. the cotton
crop last wear was 6.1Ou, 3jj bales. a falling
of as compared with the receipts Of
the previous year, OF .355. Ola bales. The
falling OF in the number of bales was due
I 20 several causes. the chief Of which was
the decrease in the acreage. The low
prices which had prevailed during the
season of 1s9I-'92 influenced planters to
give more attention to food crops and
stock and less TO cotton The prices re
cciyed last year We're somewhat better
than those received the year before,
though they We're not sufficiently high to
make the total amount received for the
crop last year near as large as the total
amount received for the crop of the pre-
vious year
A feature of Mr.. Hester's report is the
increase in the amount Of cotton taken by
the southern spinners and the decrease in
the amount taken by northern spinners.
The total of the domestic consumption
was smaller than that of the previous
year. The northern spinners took SOB
600 bales less, but the consumption by the
southern spinners was So per cent.
greater. The number of bales taken by
southern mills was 743.s4S. This was a
gratifying increase and justifes the CON
clusion that the time is not far distant
when a very large part of the cotton
grown in the south will be consumed by
southern mills
For the year ending Aug. 81, there was
gain of thirteen cotton mills in the
south in active operation over the pre-
vious year, and a net increase in spindles
of $4,000 OF this number 135, 900 were
new and $4,000 were additions to old
mills
For several years the number of
cotton mills in the south has been increas-
ing and with prosperous times this in
crease viii be much greater during the
next few years. The south has ad-
vantages for cotton manufacturing that
must eventually make her the cotton
manufacturing section of the country.
Northern cotton manufacturers are be-
ginning to recognize this, and some of
them are seriously considering the advis-
ability OF moving their plants to the
south. 1t is safe to predict that the an
nual consumption of southern mills will
be more than / 100000 bales within the
next six or seven years.

WILKES COUNTY,
Systematic Robbery Of Washington
Merchant Come to Light.


Washington, Ga, Sept A very
startling discoEeryAsas made by one of
our most prosperous merchants, MIR. r.
A. Armand, few days ago The story
has just come out that one of his clerks
has been Systematically robbing him for
more than year. The young man, l..
Gains, is very retiring, modest looking
fellow, scarcely more than a boy and hav-
ing no vices that any one knew of, which
makes his crime the more remarkable.
He had the temerity to commit part of
his illgOtten gains to Mr.. Armand himself
for safe keeping. He accounted for them
by saying that his father was dividing
his property among his children and this
was his share.
In some way Mr.. Almand's suspicious
became aroused and he went over to Ell
bertOn to investigate. He found that Mr.
Gains was in no condition to be sending
his son large sums of money. In the
meantime he discovered that young
Gains had lent Hammock 81 Lucas, drug
gists of this place, 81 500 and taken their
note for the amount. Mr.. Armand en-
ployed an Atlanta detective to come here
and see if he could trace the mystery, but
Cams was too sharp to be caught. He
MIR. Almandl found that Gains had re-
Ceived no money by the express or post
office, so he finally decided to tax him
with the robbery At first he stoutly de
MED his guilt, then weakening, confessed
to have taken $50, then figured it up to
$3.50 and, breaking down. he owned up to
having taken at different times,
the large sum Of -, 900. He wept like a
cfiid, and begged to know what Mr. Al
mand meant to do with him. He Mr.
Almand) in the most maEnanimOus man
ner told him that if he would restore the
stolen property as fan as he could and
promise to forsake his evil ways he
might 90 free. Gains then turned over
to his employer the note for 81 500, dia-
uond ring valued at 5000 and some due
bills which Mr.. Armand owed him, max
ing in all about 50, 100, leaving Mr.. AL
mand out about $500 or 5000. The young
man left town early Sunday morning on
his bicycle Few men would have treated
the thief so leniently as Mr.. Armand has.
He says he esteemed the boy very highly
and trusted him as he would his own
brother

Frances magnanimity towards Siam is
Of peculiar type. Siam is on the fiat of
her back, tied hand and foot and with
burning candles at her feet. Under these
circumstances France says she may take
three months in which to decide whether
or not she viii accede to the demands
made upon her. Meantime French sol
olers are running affairs in certain
Slamese towns to suit themselves. 1t
would not be surprising if the Franco
Slamese affair should yet be the cause of
some serious complication in the east. A
month ago, as. it was subsequently
learned, England was very near the
verge OF war with France because of the
Slamese difficulty, and it does not appear
that England is less interested now than
he was then.

storms did an immense amount of damage
to the oysters. In this neighborhood and
in South Carolina, also, the damage to the
oyster beds has. been great. From North
Carolina to Maryland it is estimated that
the loss will approximate $1,000. 900. In
Long Island sound and New Haven har-
Dor it is estimated the loss will be $4,000,
900. If these estimates, made upon casual
examination, should hold good upon clo-
ser examination, the losses on oysters will
be among the greatest Of all the losses by

The returns relating to cotton con
sumption in the south are Of a more salts
factory description.
SOLID SHOWING OF SOUTHERN MILLS.
The financial disturbances, so serious in
other sections Of the country, eXerted but
little influence on the mills in the cotton
belt up to the beginning Of August; and
then in reply to a direct question
sent to every mill, a surprisingly
per1enced no i'll effects. 1t is
true that a general sense of uneasiness
prevailed among mill owners and that
there were growing complaints of in
creasing difficulty of disFosing of goods.
Fears were expressed also of a possible
danger ahead, to result from the contin-
ued financial stringency, but, as a matter
OF tact. the consumption of raw cotton
had been but little affected. The facts
show that no manufacturing industry is
on safer or more rapidly growing basis
than cotton mills in the south.
FIFTY-FIvE PER CENT. INTEREST.
Five years ago (1ssg- go, the southern
mills consumed 10000 bales; this year,
In the face of nfayorable commercial
conditions, they used IA. 600, an increase
OF 264,OOO bales, or 80 per cent The spin
dies now in operation are ?, III, 147, against
l,99o, $50 at this time last year.
SOUTH CAROLINA LEADS.
In the list of states, South Carolina has
again forged ahead, reaching nearly 2O4, 600
bales, an increase of 5000, equaling 4215
per cent. of the entire southern consump-
tion for l8S9'90, and over 81 per cent. for
the present years consumption Georgia
follows closely, with lS4 900 bales; or g.
900 increase; North Carolina with nearly
$4,000, or 5000 increase, while Ala
bama is 5000 bales ahead of last year.

The effect of the order of the treasury
department in suspending the issue of
gold certificates will be that less money
in large amounts will be boarded. This
is illustrated by two incidents that oc-
CURED recently at the New York sub
treasury. A woman with two grown
daughters, all three carrying large
yalises, entered the sub-treasury two
weeks ago, and presenting $4,000 in bills,
demanded gold coin for the amount.
Cashier Muhlemann tried to pursuade
her that the bills We're as good as gold,
but she insisted on the gold coin, and it
was given to her She pat it into the
three bags, and she and her daughters
went away smiling, satisfied that
whether the country went to the dogs or
not, they, at least, We're safe. Last Fri
day another woman, accompanied by
members Of her family, laboriously car
ried into the sub-treasury an equally
large sum of gold, which she had lust
drawn from the savings bank She
asked Mr.. Muhlemann to exchange the
gold for bills, but he refused, stating
that the department had stopped issuing
gold certificates. The woman went away
troubled in her mind, wondering what
she was going to do with her money, now
she had drawn it out of the bank.
