KellyS Says

AAOAAJ NV ~
The silver dollar is as good as gold.
Uncle Sam says when put my initials on
silver dollar it Is as god as gold, nc
matter where you go, and KELLY says
here is the proof. A few weeks ago
went into a Brokers Office in this city and
1 put down 25 silver Dollars on his desk
and told him l wanted to send 1t to my
father in the Old Country, and I asked
him how much they would be worth when
they got there, and he said they would be
worth 5 sovereigns or $25 90 in gold; h:
told me the truth, because this morning
received letter stating that l got your
draft which received gold sovereigns
for this morning. thanks, etc.
This knocks the foundation from under
that argument that a silver dollar is worth
only Sc CO. Is.
Silver is the peoples money. One OF
KELLY'S reasons for saying so is this
Abundance of monev means high wages
high wages means extravaganza; and it Il
our extravaganza that have made US the
the happiest people on the face of the
globe. For the last rs years our finances
have been governed by the silver dollar,
and If you can find any other country that
have been anv more progressive than We
have we should adopt their method for the
basis of money.
One other reason that every banker and
broker and money loaner in the land
wants the United States to stop making
silver dollars in order to increase their
rates of interest. Another reason why we
should coin silver dollars Is that 1t lakes
k3s OOO. 600 year to keep up the circuls
ton of $o5 to every individual. We add
to our population yearly. Take notice
that this is a very important reason now
where the individual, the private cor
poration and the general commerce of the
country injured by an arrangement under
which IS, 0OO, 900 or s.. 500, 900 of money
is monthly taken out of the treasury and
put into circulation among the people
we have heard of panics from a scarcity
of money. 1t is possible that our panic
has been brought about by too much of
that useful article.
In nv humble opinion 4 was brought
about by the shelving of Mckinley and

Middle, Pearl and Vine Streets.

He saw the covered cart under which the
children had been playing house." Near
by We're two thin, weary looking horses.
They had been eating meager meal, but
now their ears were pricked up in alarm,
and they strained at the halters that held
them to the girdled gum tree.
For two hours, till the sun went down
and the southern cross began to blaze in
the sky, Tom kept the blacks off, sending
many OF them to death. but making sad
inroads on his own limited stock of anmu-
milton.
Suddenly he turned from the window
and whispered: "The fire, Kitty Put out
the fire. OF they can see me from the darkp'
A spear striking the logs near his head
showed that the savages could see him and
were availing themselves of the fact.
Kitty picked up bucket of water and
dashed it over the Goals. For a moment
the steam filed the cabin and hid from the
man the sight of his crouching, terror
stricken wife and children.
The yelling outside grew fiercer and nearer
The man fired at the figures that showed
up In the background because they were
blacker than the night.
A crash and shrek from the children
and the cry of the poor mother "Oh Lord,
save the childherl'' told Tom Redmond
that the door-the only door in the cabin
was down.
The spears are whizzing in now like
winged serpents. He turns, but cannot see
that one OF them has pinned the youngest
child to the dead mothers breast.
There is no time to load. He clubs his
rifle and leaps toward the door. Suddenly
the darkness is dispelled. The savages
have set fire to the roof. They swarm in,
and as the brave fellow falls across the
body of his wife he sees three boys spitted
on the cruel spears of the blacks and little
Kitty, a child of IL, carried away. Then
Tom Redmond knows no more, and so re-
mains forever.
The savages were suppressed that time.
Then followed years of comparative peace
to the increasing settlers in the post at the
foot of the mountains. Those who should
know best said, 1T will not last" and they
were right
Tom Redmond's little clearing had grown
up in scrub, for the superstitious settlers
kept away from the place, believing it to be
haunted. To this place a strong body Of
armed whites drove the savages after that
second uprising. Here the last battle in
that neighborhood was fought.
The Australian blacks call their women
'gins" Among the dead was found a diving
gin, still very young. She was burned near
ly black with the sun, and near her lay a
dead child.
The white men gave her drink They saw
she was of their race, and one asked:
"What is your name?"
With her last breath and dying glance
at her child she whispered:

or Rocky Face ridge.

| or Rocky Face ridge
Down through those mountain defiles
extending from Chattanooga to Atlanta
though numerically the weakest arm of the
service, the signal corps was the hardest
worked, and compared with its numbers
| there was no branch that equaled it in
efficacy.
From peak to peak messages were sent
by means of waving flags in the daytime
End swinging lights at night, and this was
often done when the signal men and their
officers were either surrounded by the en-
envy or made the special targets of their
rifemen.
One Of the most efficient signal officers in
the western army was Lieutenant Holmes.
This splendid young man was from Column
bus, 0. He was at Harvard university
when the first call was made for troops,
and after announcing his purpose to his
professors he packed up, came home and en-
listed the day Of his arrival.
He accompanied Rockers men to Rocky
Face ridge and was ordered to take his post
on precipitous hill, from which point he
could take Towards messages and trans
nit them to Sherman near Dalton.
He had been in his position and constant
ly at work for six hours when the signal
officer at Dalton reported to the command
ing general;
Lieutenant Holmes says his station is
surrounded by the enemy"
How many men has he with him" ask
ed the general in his quick, nervous way
Fifteen"
ASK him if he can hold out an hour"
The signal officer saluted, and from his
station the flag, visible to Holmes. who
was watching through his glass. waved the
question.
"Half my men are dead-I'n try" was
the answer
'"Tell him that it is all important that he
should stay there. Let him explain his
case to Hooker, who must be within reach"
said Sherman.
Again the flag waved from the peaks,
and the thunder of artillery grew louder
and louder in the direction of Rocky Face
ridge.
Within 10 minutes of the expiration of
the hour Holmes signal flag was seen to
wave unsteadily, and it was with difficulty
that the message was read:
"All my men are gone. am surround
ed. Goodby."
The flag was seen to drop with the last
word, and Sherman's signal officer reported
Holmes station in the hands of the enemy.
That evening, when the battle was won
and the Confederates were in retreat to the
east, Sherman, who loved the young man,
sent detail to the station held so gallant
ly by Holmes.
They came back that night bearing with
them the dead bodies of the lieutenant and
his men, every one of whom had been found
dead at his post" and so their names are
indicated in the records of the Army of
Georgia.
