Receiver II. NJ. Conner of the Central
railroad is one of the best posted men in
Savannah on trade and financial cOndi-
tiOns. He says the change in conditions
between this year and last is decided
The latter half of the fiscal year ending
Sept. l. 1898, he says was an exceedingly
bad one, clearing house certificates were
being issued to keep up financial institu-
tiOns in many sections of the country,
there was no money to be had. and people
who controlled it were holding it up
This year, he said, we have plenty of
money to move the~CrOps, we have fine
cotton and corn crops all over the country,
and while the price of cotton may be low
the amount of cotton may to some extent
make up for that.
General trade is good, the crops are
all right, and the couutry's business is far
better in every way but no boOm-nO
boom. ! think we have fair prospect
for a good year
Capt Henry Blum, president of the Ger
mania Bank, says the banks have had a
fair year all around, with the exception
of the few months Of depression in the
! latter part of 1893 Within the last few
months. he says, the banks have had a
good demand for money, and they have a
| good deal out. He says, however, there
| will be plenty forthcoming to move the
cotton crop. Whatever be its size, all
classes of business, he says, are doing bet
ter. and bank balances are decidedly on
the increase.
MORE MONEY IN THE COUNTRY.
Vice President H. A. Crane Of the
| Southern Bank says the business and
/ financial situation may be called a
! healthy and conservative one.
There is fair demand for money"
he said but it is not as heavy as it
might be. probably on account of the low
| rates of interest at which the bankers in
/ the north are putting money out. The
/ banks here have nearly all their money
out now, but plenty of il will be obtaina-
J bic for moving the crops Within thirty
/ DAYS some of the banks will no doubt be
/ bringing down money from the north 10
nut out in the country on the cotton crop.
/ The business season is a very good one,
! but still more improvement is looked for.
! A good banking season IS looked for, and
money will no doubt bring good
rates of interest The crops
/ have been made at less expense and there
| is more money in the country. The saw
mill business which is a good indicator,
is doing fairly well considering the de-
preston from which il suffered. A num-
her of parties are keeping all their en-
gagements. and while there is not much,
! if any profit, an early Improvement is ex-
| pected."
DEPOSITS on THE INCREASE.
President S. p. Hamiltoo Of the Mer-
chants National Bank does not think, on
the whole the year has been as satisfac-
tory as the previous years, on account OF
the panic in the latter part Of 1898.
but there has been a marked improve
ment in the last thirty days, he
said. business generally has been picking
up for the last three months. The demand
for money 10 move the cotton crop has
| inst fairly commenced. Deposits are
| much heavier than they were az this

larger. The general retail business does

Those who never read the advertise

citizen of Fit. Madison had been cured.
He procured the same medicine, and to
use his own words: st cured me right

front border of the side beds, with
the roses for background, any reas-

a Heavy Stamp Purchase.

The San Antonio postmaster has
received in the past few days at
least 100 applications from parties
all over the Union for the purchase
of the high denominations of the
Columbian stamps, now so scarce
and difficult to buy in this coun-
try. The letters and money all
came too late, however, as all the
postmaster had, $3.50 worth, had
been sold to Mr.. Albert Stoves, as
agent for st. Louis syndicate.
The San Antonio postotfice was
the only one in the country which
had these high stamps left over in
any quantity, as there was large
purchase of them made from the
government when the stamps
were first issued, and the supply
was left over, while the postmas-
ters of other offices all sold.

subjected to a most exhaustive eX-

verdict was supported by the tes-

SIIAS LEWIS SHOT AND SMOOTH
Erred To DEATH
He Lives Thirty Minutes After the
Bullet pierccS His Body In
human Execution.

South McAllister, |. T., Nov. H. Silas
Lewis, Il condemned Choctaw murder
er, was shot at Wilburton yesterday by
Sheriff pursley. The bullet from the
Sheriff's Winchester missed the con
demned mans heart, passing through
the body an inch above the nipple, and
he had to be strangled to end his suf
fcrings. Sheriff pursley anticipated
trouble having just before the execu
ton received Il telegram from Lewis
friends threatening vengeance, and
had over 100 heavily armed deputies
at the scene. When he arrived III the
place of execution Lewis offered up
talk. He then pulled off his coat, vest
and boots and the sheriff painted a
cross just beneath the left nipple.
Lewis sat down and was blind folded
while two men held his hands The
sheriff retraced his steps five feet and
the murderer's body but missed it's
mark and Lewis throwing,
back his head, sank groaning to the
ground, the blood squirting from the
wound. TO end the horrible work, the
sheriff was finally compelled to take
hold Of the mans nose and smother
him to death He lived thirty minutes
after being shot. Twenty six other In
dams are under indictment for the
same murder for which Lewis was eA
ecuted. When they come to trial trou-
bic is anticipated as their sympathiz-
ers are aroused. Lewis was 81 years
old He had been given frequent
chances of escape because Of the sher.
iffs dread of carrying out the law,
but refused TO take advantage Of
them.
