In April, 1890 the price OF silver was
96 cents per ounce. In anticipation of
the passage of the sherman law, which
required the annual purchase by the
government of 54,0OO,OO ounces OF
silver, the price began to raise, and in
September, two months after the law
was passed. it reached $l.I6 per ounce.
This rise ia the price of silver had no
effect upon the price Of cotton, for 10
September, 1889, with silver at SO cents
per ounce, cotton was worth in New
York ii 3-S cents per pound, Will. in
September, 1890, with silver at 81. is per
ounce, cotton in New York was worth
but II 5-S cents per pound, while silver
rose in september. 1890, to 81. l6 pei
ounce. and it had fallen by October,
1898, (before the repeal of the sherman
law) to 70 cents per ounce.
These facts justify me in believing
that the Sherman law was of no earth
ly beneft TO the cotton planters, and
80 stated in the speech referred to.

Demonetize.

The free silver advocates are pleased
to spout on any and all occasions about
the characterization of Silver. Now
demonetize according to Webster's Die
tionary as well as by common ac-
ceptation OF intelligent men::means, ITO
deprive of value, or to withdraw from
use as currency. NOW every red-neck
in this county knows this is not true
of silver for we all want it badly and
take it freely as 100 cents because it
has the pledge of our government on it
to make it good for that much. Boys
don't let 'em fool You with any su:h
racket. Watch out for the rabbit foot,
and see how soon after the election all
this fuss about Silver will dry up, and
you will have to plow right along just
as hard as ever-Selah.

Wiley N. Nash of Starkville, of the
firm of Muldrow & Nash. is a candi
date for Attorney General Of this State
at the ensuing election. For legal abiI-
ity, he ranks among the first at any
bar in the state, and would make a
wise, safe and efficient official that
would not only fll the position with
honor. but conserve the general inter-
est of cur state and her people. As
the courageous, unselfish soldier boy
of Harvey's Scouts in the days of war,
always ready for duty or to serve .
friend or comrade with q zeal and
steadfastness that excited universal
admiration and appreciation. he rank
ed amongst the bravest of the brave
and truest of the true. While these at
triutes tell of the nobility of soul that
actuated such followers OF the lost
cause and always touches sympathe;-
ic cord In the hearts OF every Southern
er, yet 1t is not upon any plaudits
that his friends may confer upon him
for his deeds of daring and unselfish
devotion to comrades ia the hour of
peril, but upon the experience and
knowledge that long and bonored
career in his chosen profession has
voucbedsafe to him, that he rests his
claims for the position to which he as
pires. In Madison county, where the
intrepid Harvey Whose deeds OF dar-
log and bravery emblazen the pages of
history and who yielded his life to the |
cause he loved), passed his young |
his comrade In arms, should |
be no stranger or want for friends.
