Proposed Action Of the Georgia
Agricultural Society.

ArLAxrA, Oct. IA special meet
ing of the executive committee of the
Stste Agricultural Society has been
called to assemble 10 Macon on Wednes-
day, the 24th instaat, ''to consider the
present ruinous price Of cotton and to
take some steps, If possible. to remedy
and avert Impending disasters -
The call 10 issued by Hon. John O..
Waddell. president Of the State Agri-
cultural Society. The meeting will
take place on the second day Of the
State fair, which begins iu Macon on
the 23d instant.
President Waddell, 10 issuing the
call. says be wishes ''to be distinctly
understood as opposing the selling Of
cotton to the injury of creditors. but it
is believed that the best Interests of
debtor and creditor will be subserved If
advances can be made on cotton, so as to
allos i. to be held over, thus stopping
the large daily receipts, and at the
same time giving the farmers au oppor-
tunity of securing advances on their
cotton by which they can meet their
obligations aud at the same time bold
their cotton for better prices
Part of the call reads as follows {:
ga brief suggestion rs to the plans
indieated-money is plentiful and at a
low interest rate in the banks. The
banks aud commission merchants, who
are our friends, can be Induced to ad-
vance reasonable amount on cotton,
and thus allow the farmer to hold his
cotton another year, and at the same
time enable him to pay his obligations
TO nearly the full amount of his cotton.
At present prices, it is impossible to
more than pay the cost of cultivation,
picking, giouiog and guauo bills. leav-
Ing the farmer nothing with which to
meet other just obligations. If the
plans and suggestions, which you may
promulgate be adopted by the other
cotton States, we believe good results
will follow
.sThere can be DO doubt that the
cotton acreage will Of necessity be
greatly reduced next year. the crop
reduced in consequence aud the cotton
carried over must command better
prices" :"

BONDS NOT SUBJECT
To Ten Per Cent. on State Bank
Notes.

A Washington special to the Con-
stitution says:
Mr.. Felix a. Reeves. the solicitor Of
the treasury. has rendered decision
which will be of interest to every citi-
gen Of Georgia. It was rendered at
the request Of Mr.. r G. Clark, of
Rome. Mr.. Clark wrote to Secretary
Carlisle stating that the county COM
missiouers Of. Floyd County proposed to
issue certain amouat of county bonds,
bearing low rate of interest. 10 de-
nominations of five, ten and twenty
dollars. One of the purposes ln vie"
in issning these bonds was the intention
of using them the same as local cur
rency. Mr. CLARK inquired whether
such action would conflict in any way
with the United States banking laws.
Mr.. Carlisle referred the letter to MIR.
Reeves, wbe advised the Secretary that
no statute of the United States pro-
hibits the Issue of county bonds in any
denomination. According to MIR.
Reeves any county has right to issue
bonds when net in contravention to the
Constitution Of the State. As to the
State bank tax Of 1875, Mr.. Reeves
says that the word county" ls not
enumerated among the corporations,
persons, firms, associations, State banks
or State banking associations, aud.
therefore. county bonds are not subject
to the ten per cent. tax.
.sNoTEs," Nor s:B0NDs."
Mr.. Reeves also held that the word
anotes' could not be regarded as in-
cluding county bonds, aud be was.
therefore, of the opinion that the pro-
posed issne of county bonds would not
be taxable under the Federal statutes.
A talk with Solicitor Reeves by The
Constitution correspondent procured
from him the further statement
that whether the bonds ;issned by
oosDeg bore interest or not, his opin-
ion would apply the same. These
bends he admitted, could be in denomi-
natien as low as one and two dollars,
and ceuad be used as local circulating
medipn.
This would mean, provided Mr..
Reeges's decision holds goods, that the
counties can provide the people with
al the money they require. The only
possible chance of couaict with the
United States authorities on this ques-
tion would be 10 the manufacture of
these boDds or notes 10 a form re-
sembling United States currency, as 10
the case of the Mississippi bonds re-
Gently seized. This, it is said, could
be easily avoided, warning the .eo-.
erayer Of the new moBey not to imi-
tate any vigneste, seal or scroll work
now 10 use By the United States.
The question is whether or not Mr.
Reeses's decision conaicts with that
clause Of the Uuited States which pro-
yides that no State shall .:coin money
or emit bills Of credit" The Sapreme
Court 10 Craig vs. the State Of Mis-
seuri has decided that ae State can
issue car.eney in any form-of course
county is part of State, but
whether these Floyd Coanty bonds will
be considered currency in that sense
that people vill be required to take it
remains to be seen.

One morning he overslept himself,
md, as his door was unlocked, what
was his surprise to find three pretty
Louisville young women enter the

enough to roll under the sofa, and
back into n dark corner, before they
threw open the shutters. But, al
though he had tucked himself away,
he had neglected to hide his clothes.
wh Oh were thrown across a rocking
chair. The girls saw the clothing,
tut, believing they had been left
,herr accidentally by the lady OF the
house, thought nothing about ihem
and began lively chat about the
matters of the day.
The young man did not mind his

nervous as the minutes gradually
lengthened into hours lie stood u
for two hours, but at last grew 80 ex

young women to leave him until he

say that their embarrassment was
great. and that none OF them men

young man has since recovered from
the shock, he has been unable to re-

friends of his awkward predicament.
