Butler and Representatives McLaurin

at tho Postoffice department and agreed
on a number of fourth-class postmasters.
One of the men they jointly recommen-

delegation are doing some wild specula-

the State fares worse for it, and Senator
Butler, who is looking out only for the
good of bis constituency, is will

a Slick Swindler.

AcwoRTH, GA, August GA slick
young man passed this way few days
ago. He claimed to be George I. Leving-
ston, and that he represented G. j. Mat
tingly 6, Bro, liquor dealers, of Louis
Vile. He was dressed in suit of blue,
derby hat and red shoes. He was OF me-
dunn size, black eyes and moustache, and
sharp enough to beat the Lemon Bank
ing Company out of SS5. He had a check
sent him through the bank from his house
in letter written to the bank by his
firm requesting the bank to cash the
check when the young man should ar
rive. The letter was written on paper
with the name and place Of business of
the firm printed at the top of the leaf, and
the signature of the young man enclosed.
The president of the bank referred to his
Commercial Report and found firm of
the style Of this firm, except slight de-
feet, which he presumed was printers
error. When the young man called his
signature corresponded exactly with the
one sent and he further identified him
self by letter of introduction from his
employers, which was so complete that
the bank paid the check of $S5. The
young man left and the check has proven
to be bogus and no such firm exists in
Louisville.
Captain Lemon, the bank president, Is

but this trick was so we'll acted that be

Judging from the vote in the House on
Monday on the Wilson bill President
:Cleveland's message was too logical to be
refuted by those who took issue with him
on that subject. Indeed, no speaker in
Congress, whether for or against the bill,
has presented his views in so mastery a
style or with the clearness, simplicity
and irresistible force that characterized
the message.

a COnyict's Nerve.

ATLANTA, GA, August "a negro
conyict named Ed. Hopkins made uni
que but unsuccessful attempt to escape
from the Dade coal mines stockade few
days ago. He arranged coffin-shaped
box with no top, and inverted it upon
himself on one of the small cars that en-
tered the mines. A fellow convict heap
ed coal upon this and the object was
soon hidden from sight. 1t was neces-
sary to hurl the coal forty feet down a
chute. The buried negro, half suffocated
could make no outcry. Down he went
with the heap, reaching the bottom more
dead than alive. He was picked up ter
ribly bruised and bleeding, and was re-
turned to the mines, where he received
medical treatment. It is thought that
with attention he will recover.

Georgia's Big Farmer.

Frank Weldon has written an interest
ing leLtor in the Atlanta Constitution
giving some figures about Georgia's great
farmer, Colonel jim Smith, Of Ogle-
thorpe. He went to Colonel Smiths
farm primarily because Of the visit Of the
Egyptian representative, and his letter
contained some inter resting comparative
figures on tho pense Of raising cotton in
Egypt and America. But the acreage
and yield of Colonel Smiths fields,
together with the hands employed and
animals used in their cultivation are so
large as to challenge attention, and stamp
him easily the leading farmer in Georgia,
and probably in half the States of the
Union. They sound moro like the num-
ber Of serfs and vassals Of some feudal
lord than employees of plain Georgia
farmer.
Here are some figures as given by Mr..
Weldon:
Colonel Smith has four systems of
farming. lie cultivates 5000 acres by
victs leased from the State. 1000
acres by tenants who pay him one-fourth
OF their crops, and 1000 acres by 'crop-
pers," who pay him one-half Of their
crops.
Colonel Smith owns 200 mules, twelve
horses, 500 cows and oxen, and calves,
and 400 hogs. His mules are fine and
cost him from $3.50 to 5000 apiece. His
herd Of COWS contain many Holstein,
Jersey and Ayreshire cattle. Some of
these cattle are thoroughbred and are
registered. He milks about seventy COWS
and makes sixty pounds of fine butter
per day, selling it for 25 cents per pound.
He cultivates about 5000 acres around
his home place where he lives with free
hired labor, all the laborers being ne
groes. He ealso keeps constantly employ
ed a number OF carpenters, brick layers
and blacksmiths.
Colonel Smith is not an all cotton far
mer. AS stated above he has about 400
hogs and 800 head of cattle, so that there
is never any lack of meat and besides
his thousands OF acres Of pasture land he
raises an abundant supply of provender
for his stock. He has on hand now 5000
bushels of old corn which be has kept in
the shuck and 1900 bushels of oats from
tho crop Of 1892. He has large amount
of forage and believes that be could make
his crop noXt year without having to uso
any Of this years crop for his stock. He
sows wheat for the double purpose of
getting grain and to improve the worn
out lands which have been planted in
cotton for number of years in success
sion. Wheat gives the land rest and
replaces in it vegetable matter. His
wheat is generally planted on the poorest
lands. Hence the yield is lighter than it
would be otherwise. Rye and cow peas
and clover are all planted to rest the land
and improve it.

The New Orleans Picaysne says:
"How, then, is an act Of Congress 10
relieve the poor man or to restore the
lost wealth Of the bankrupt merchant or
manufacturer Plainly, tits powerless
to do anything of the sort. All that can
be hoped from Congress is that it will
promptly execute such legislation rs will
restore confidence in all branches ofleglt-
innate tcsiness and start up the various
industries which have been closed, and
re-establisil market for the products Of
industry. This cannot be done at a sim

Short Crops In Europe.

WASHINGTON, August 27.-The recen
advices received by Secretary Morton
from one of his agents in Europe, Mr.
Mates, fully confirm previous reports
regarding the shortage OF certain crops in
many sections Of Europe, which he
represents is likely to create very large
demand for American forage crops, in
Guiding corn, although he does not think
it likely that much Of the latter will he
used as human food. He represents thai
the tariff complications between Russia
and Germany are likely to render the
people of the latter country especially
dependent upon the United States fol
their supplies.

their cotton home to hold for higher pri-

The certificates that may be issued un-

i Eseeuriti owned by the Banks that will

I and viii make them as safe a medium of

Such action BY the Banks will be in no

Issuing Clearing House Certificates has

tha convenience of local business of all
Kinds. Tho custom has not prevailed
4 ssx tensiYely in the South for the reason
ths money could usually be secured in
amounts sufficient to meet all the con-
tingencies OF trade. But during the

been adopted in various Southern cities

Ofcourse the success of the certificates

they are based upon securities worth
q double .he face value Of the certificates,
or more, there can be but little doubt that
sthey are as safe as II issued on Govern
ment bonds. While that is trae, no one
can be forced to accept them, as only our
national currency can have the effect Of q
legal tender for the payment Of debts.
There Is no doubt that the certificates
will be generally accepted by business
men in this community In payment Of
All kinds OF debts, and there is no reason
why they should not be accepted by
everyone just as freely.
