Strike Inevitable.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 3o.-A strike on the
Louisville and Nashville road is newt
able. On Friday morning every ma
chinist between Cincinnati and New
Orleans will quit work. Orders to this
effect have been received here and the
men will go outregardless of the ques-
tion of naming the date for the restora-
ton of wages. This action is due to the
10 per cent cut in salary authorized by
President Smith some time ago.

The Only Difference Is That the Sen.

Parity.
.
Senator German Speaks Agasnst the
Substitutc-He Wants No
Delay.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-The senate
committee on finance decided to report
back to the senate the Wilson repeal
OIL, with the recommendation that the
voorhees, bill already on the senate
calendaE be substituted for it. The
committee also resolved to set aside the
national bank circulation bill which is
now unfinished business in the senate,
IN favor of the Voorhees, bill and to
press the latter measure as rapidly as
the temper of the senate will permit.
The difference between the house bill
and the VOORHEES, bill is found in the
attachment to the latter ofa paragraph
declaring that it is the policy of the
United States to use both gold and sill
yer as money metals, and to preserve
parity.
Chairman VOORHEES, reported the
VOORHEES, bill to the senate as a substi.
tute for the house bill at 1915 n m.
Mr.'Teller objected to immediate con-
slderation of the repeal bill and it went
over.
The Stewart resolution, inouiring
into the condition of the treasury, was
then taken up for consideration. The
resolution was referred to the finance
committee and Mr.. German addressed
the senate in advocacy OF the uncon-
dltlonal repeal of'the Sherman act. He
declared that he could not vote for any
measure that involved delay and that
he was therefore opposed to the substi-
tute reported.

A TOWN MAKES ITS OWN MONEY
Columbus Cotton Mills IssuG Certifi.
Gates of Inde btedness which the
Banks and Merchants Ac-
cept as Currency.

COLUMBUS, GA.-A large aud enthu-
iastic meeting of the board of trade was
held to consider the financial situation.
Business men, not members OF the board,
were a'so invited. Considerable har
mony was manifested.
B"solutions were opted urging Geor-
gia's Senator's AMI Representatives to
work for the unconditional repeal of the
Sherman silver law, also requesting tn e
Columbus Clearing House Association to
issue certificates and approving the action
OF thc cotton mills of the city In issuing
certificates to be taken in payment of
debts for the next sixty days. The banks
will take these certificates and merchants
pledge themselves to accept them as cur
rcncy.
This will afford immense relief to the
people and will enable the mills to run
on full time and employ a full force.
Great qualification is expressed generally
at this action of the board.
"A permanent system somewhat ON
this plan has been for long time in
vogue at Mt. Holly, N. c., in the
mills OF A. P. Rhyme & Co., viz: The
Tuckaseege Mill, the Albion Mill, and
the Mt. Holly Mill. Brass checks are
given In payment of wages. These pass for
currency among tho operatives and at
the local stores. The company exchanges
these checks for cash upon request. This
system certainly puts more money into
circulation at Mt. Holly and could be
emulated with success at other places. -

doubters, it is case of Imagination

the rainmaker might comfort himself
with the thought that genius very sell

II: Ne: That Women Like.

An English magazine lately offered
a prize for the best answer to the
question, "What kind OF n man does a
woman most admire?" Here is the
winning answer: "The man must in
terest by uncommonness, either in
appearance or manner, or he must
have the indescribable quality called
charm. He must know his own mind
and steadily work thereto, even TO
masterfulness. He disregards they
say, and is not one of herd. His
friends are men-not women. He is
only once deceived by the same per.
son. His perhaps hasty temper never
runs to unkindness. Heneeds sympathy
and solace in sometimes divine dis
content. He abides under no failure,
but goes on. His occasional want of
success only attaches and rivets his
determination.
