THE SILVER DOLLAR.

The talk about the "dollars of our dad dies' is misleading. The expression brings to mind a picture of our daddies with a great stack of dollars before them, and their pockets so full of jingling silver dol lars that there was TO room for pocket knife or a corkscrew. The reality is that our daddies didn't have as many silver dol lars as we have. h the past fifteen years about five hundred million silver dollars have been coined, and they are still in existence. Prior to 1878 there were comparatively few silver dollars in circulation. In that year the Bland Allison law went into effect, and silver dollars were coined at the rate of $2, COG, ,000 a month until last year. Then there is talk of "the money of the constitution, :" as if the constitution guaranteed the people a certain sort of money and a specified amount. The constitution says "Congress shall have power to coin money and regu- late the value thereof.'' but it does not say that the ratio shall be 16 to 1, or 20 to 1, or any other proportion. If Congress 50 de- sired it could adopt any ratio it chose, or stop the coinage altogether. It did stop the free coinage of silver in 1873. Then 1t resumed a limited coinage of silver in 1878, and again stopped the coinage in 1893. Just 100 years ago the United States first began the coinage of silver. The ratio established by Congress was 15 to |. and this continued until 1884, when tue ratio oI 15 and fraction to 1 was adopted, and continued ever since. For convenience sake the ratio is called 16 to 1. When Con- gress resumes the coinage of silver it can adopt any ratio it chooses.

HEAVY RAINFALL.

Selma Journal.
 MT. w. w. Wilson, from south Dallas, says the hardest rain he ever saw fall fell Wednesday in his section. Where there was 200 pounds of cotton to the acre, today not an open boil is visible.
 Capt. John F. Burns. says at least inches of water fell during the day at Evansville, and the cotton crop is seriously damaged.
 MT. R. E. Tuck of Eleanor says the rain fall in bis section was terrific, and both cotton and corn are injured to some ex- tent.
 MT. Clarence Crenshaw of Marion says yesterday was rainy day in Marion, and people were kept in doors all day.
 In the eastern part of this city skiffs were used by people getting in and out of their homes. a4s.
 MT. Turner's home on Pelham street was completely flooded and number of chick ems drowned. His COWS were standing in water knee deep in the back yard. The foot of Broad street looked like a young ocea6. Water was up to the store doors and navigation was cut entirely off.
 MT. E. B. Martiu says an enormous rain fell at Martin station and 1t will be several days before any farm work can be done.
 At Summerfield the storm was also ter rife and the fall of water was the greatest ever known in the same length of time.
 All the bridges across the. creeks and branches between Selma and Dallaston were washed away.
 Messrs. Elebash & Palmer of Burn sville storm. Besides injury to their gin and seed house three bales of cotton under the gin house, and at least three- quarters of Q mile from Mulberry creek, were actually swept by the rain into the creek and lost to their owners.

tion expressed, because the people thought the jury ought to have sentenced them to be hanged. The Sheriff tried to spirit them away, when mob stopped the train, took the prisoners from the officers of the law and lynched them. In this act these men were guilty of murder. Every man in the mob could be hung if the law was fairly enforced. Mob law is species of anarchy. It is subversive of all law and order, and Is a step toward a return to the savage state, where might makes right. A mob out rages the majesty of the law. Every law abiding citizen In the State should rise up and condemn n obs under any and all circumstances. The people of the Birmingham district have suffered from mobs, and have felt the thrill of patriotic pride when mobs have been put down by an iron hand
 The man who takes the law in his own hands is an outlaw. He should be frowned down upon by every true citizen. He is an enemy to society, a foe to the govern nent and a threat to courts and juries. He commits an outrage on the law. He should be dealt with as the most depraved criml- nal. The spirit of mob law must be sup pressed. The perpetuity of our govern ment and the maintenance of our social fabric is at stake. To say that lynching is excusable because juries and judges do not do their duty is worse than no excuse, If juries do not do their duty they should be execrated by public sentiment. The moral sentiment of the people must be educated up to the point of enforcing the law at all hazards. Upon this hangs our future ex. istence.
 The Governor is shocked by the crime, and at once offered a reward for the arrest and conviction of each member of the mob.

NO MORE PROBATION,

The world is growing in knowledge of human nature us we'll as in the physical sciences. A distinctive feature of Meth odism has been its custom of probation. and much was said of it at one time. IL was considered most excellent manner in which to gradually iuduct man into the church. It took man in by degress, like Turkish bath, and did not shock him by a sudden change. But after a fair trial the probationary period has been abandoned. It was found to be based on wrong esti. mate of human nature. A man needs all the safeguards possible thrown around him to keep him iu the right path. He needs the full fellowship of the church, the re- straining influence of it's laws, and the strengthening effect of it's ordinances to keep him in the straight and narrow way. While in the probationary period he did not have these influences, and realizing that there was still open 8 way of escape from the binding obligations of the church he always backslid. A man to succeed must throw himself unreservedly into an enterprise-he must burn his bridges be- hind him. Just as long as there is an avenue of escape behind him he will always think of it, and the thought teuds to weaken his good resolves. When Cortez landed upon the coast of Mexico he knew that his little army was composed of turbu- lent and rebellious spirits, and that they would constantly threaten mutiny and in- surrection just as long as there was a way of getting back to Spain. He determined at once upon as bold and daring deed as man ever dared to do. He set fire to the ships and burned them to the water g edge. When his men saw their only avenue of escape cut of, and surmised who did it., they flew into a terrible rage, and their leader came near paying his life for what he had done. Cortez foresaw this and knew the great risk he took, but he real ized that it was only by this means that he could inspire his men to the almost super human enterprise before them. The re- suit justified his brave deed. His men knew that they must fight their way through and they performed prodigies of valor. They conquered the great and pow erful kingdom of Mexico. AS in the phys ical, so in the moral word. The man who expects to conquer the kingdom of evil and the powers of darkness must burn his ships behind him.

HISTORY
LESSONS FROM THE ELECTIONS OF 1894 AND
 1892.


 1892.
 To.the Age-Herald:
 A comparison of the vote in the recent state election with that of 1892 teaches some instructive and interesting lessons; and first, that over-anxious aspirants for office should be cautious in forcing themselves upon reluctant people.
 The late canvass was the most active and earnest ever made in the state, unless, pos- sibly, that of "A may be an exception. That is to say, the canvass lasted longer; there were more speakers on the hustings and many more speeches made, and in va rious ways there were greater efforts made to bring out and enlist the interest of the people than ever before. In 1892 there were DO Darbecues. The old standard bearers of the demo- cratic party were generally too busy for speech making, and Governor Jones was left, with few exceptions, to run his cam paign as best he could without thei" ,.d. Yet there were 49, 929 more yote~ ..ohed in '92 than in '94.
 Captain Kolh,s vote fell of 32, 13O. He made small gains in two northern and in two southern counties au also in one central county; but lost in all the remaining sixty one. If this doesinot show that be carried his pitcher to the spring once too often that he is politically smashed-done for and dead-then two and two must cease to make four.
 Colonel Oates made small gains in six northern aud twelve southern counties; bat he lost in the remaining forty eight. His total loss in the state was IT ,799. That Is to say, Jones, in comparatively quiet can vass in '92, boiled that many more votes than Oates in '94, with Senator Morgan and all the lesser lights of the party ex- haustiug themselves in trying to induce the people to support him, together with the efficient and powerful support of both the federal and state administrations. The conclusions to be drawn from tn ese facts are: that strong candidate, in sym pathy with the people, would have beaten Kolb 50, ,000; and that if Kolb had received the same vote he got in '92 he would have beaten Oates 6, 364.

IT'S UNDERWOOD SURE.

The Jefferson County Democratic Con- vention, held yesterday for selecting dele- gates to the Congressional Convention of the Ninth District, was large, representa- tive body of loyal Democrats, and the pro- ceedings of the meeting were remarkable, in that there was not & single jar nor a difference of opinion, but thoroughly or ganized and patriotic determination to push forward the candidacy of Jefferson 's choice for Congressman. The convention was enthusiastic, though quiet, for the men who composed it thought alike; they were of one mind, and felt that they had already won victory, for the party had spoken and declared Underwood it's choice.
 Perry county joins hands with Jeffers on, |, as was predicted, and thus secures tue tri- umph of MT. Underwood's friends, while sufficient advices nave been received from the other counties of the district to show that the choice of this sterling young Dem- ocrat will meet the hearty and unan imous approval of the entire Democracy of the Ninth.
 MT. Underwood's general popularity, bis fine qualities of manhood, his unfiinching integrity, and the fact that he went into the race without entangling aiiiancee or doubly dealt promises, give full assurances - that with proper efforts on the part Of the Democrats of the district he will be an easy winner and honor the district which is now honoring him.
 The work at Blount Springs on the 4th proximo will be only the formal wind.up of contest which is to result in the ad- vancement of Democracy, the elevation to high office of a most worthy man and the very just verdict of the people that Jeffer- son, first in wealth and population of the counties of the State, names the represent oiive in Conpresa from the Ninth dist rict.
