VANISHED FROM BUTLER Downfall of a Leading Citizen of Georgiana. HE WROTE A LITTLE NOTE Which He Said His Brother Dictated, But It

HE WROTE A LITTLE NOTE
INDIGNANT CITIZENS TELL HIM TO "GlT"

/ Montgomery, Aug. 17.-(Special)- News comes from Georgiana, forty miles south of here, of a very lively social sensation there R. s. Pilley has been one of the biggest men in Butler county in the estimation of his neighbors. He is ex-mayor of Georgiana, postmaster, master of the Masonic lodge. a member of numerous other orders, justice of the peace, chairman of the democratic ex- ecutive committee, superintendent of the Methodist Sunday shool, steward in that church, a high school trustee and pillar in the town generally. The evil spirit, however, has gotten in his work on him, and his fellow townsmen have called a meeting and banished him.
 Last Thursday night one of the most estimable and respectable young ladies in the town received this note:
 Miss M: Will you consent to have private interview with me tonight? If so name the place and time. This must be between me and you absolutely. The people must be away from your home. If you consent answer this note if not, return it unanswered. No one must know of this but you and me.
 "R. s. PILLEY."
 The young lady promptly turned the insulting note over to her male relatives, who called at once on MT. Pilley, and demanded an explanation. He begged them to cool off and told them he had written the note at his brothers re- quest; that his brother was consider ing making an offer of marriage to Miss M.- and wanted her subjected to a test as to morality. Yesterday after noon a meeting of the citizens of Geor- giana was held and after several hot speeches by prominent citizens resolu- tion was passed unanimously to the effect that Pilley had been guilty of grave offense and indecency in indicting the note to the young woman and must resign all his public trusts and shake the dust of the town from his feet without delay z. Sheperd, b. B. Taylor and H. c. Parker were appointed a committee to convey the intelligence to MT PiIley It is stated that he promised to move on short order.

CLEVELAND, CRESPO, DlAZ
Are Expected to Grace the Exposition at the
COMMIT $ s TO MEXICO AND VENEZUELA

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 1.-The manage ment of the Cotton States and Interna- tional exposition has taken steps to bring the presidents of the two most impor- tant southern republics to Atlanta in time to meet President Cleveland on his proposed visit to the exposition. It is probable that a strong commission com posed of Gen. Isaac w. Avery, commits sioner to the South American republics; Col. W. L. Scruggs, ex-United States minister to Venezuela, and Hon. Leonidas r. Livingston, will shortly start to Vene- zuela to invite President Crespo and cab inet to visit Atlanta during the exposi- tion.
 General Avery has just returned from Venezuela, where he secured a fine ex- hibit, in which five of the most impnr- tant states of that republic will take part. In view of the approaching exposition the government of Venezuela requested the Plant system to put on direct line of steamships between Laguayra and Tampa, but not having ships available for immediate use, MT. Plant was unable to supply them so soon. To overcome this difficulty General Avery recently went to New York and secured from the Red D line an important concession to tiic CiiCGl lidt TUT pdIllSS Ol twenty OT more steamers will stop at Savannah, saving 700 or 800 miles of the voyage. The Red D line will also make an i'm portant reduction in the rates for this travel. General Avery says that with this liberal concession very large at tendance from Venezuela is assured. Colonel Scruggs, who has official connee- tion with the Venezuelan government, is confident that President Crespo can be induced to come to Atlanta
 In this connection a strong committee, headed by Dr. R. D. Spalding, vice. chairman of the executive committee, will leave Atlanta tomorrow for the City of Mexico to present to President Diaz and cabinet an invitation to visit the ex- position. President Diaz and cabinet have taken deep interest in the exposi- tion, and will have a fine exhibit here, and there is every reason to believe he will come.
 The presence of the presidents of two of the greatest American republics, to- gether with the president of the United States, will be an event unparalleled in the history of the western hemisphere, and beyond question will tend to increase the cordial feeling which this exposition has done so much to establish between this country and it's neighbors in South and Central America.

It Was Not William.

As stated in the Age-Herald this morn ing the dead negro who was DfouSht here last night from Georgia was 1den- tifed as not being Railroad Bill" His remains were buried in the potter's field here today The following from the Prattville Progress gives an idea of the hopelessness of the search for the desper- ate negro in the swamps of Conecuh ana Escambia:
 MT w. A. Haynes who has been on a chase after Railroad Bilf' spent last Monday at his home in Prattville. Al though he failed to see the redoubtable Bill he gives quite an interesting, II not a thrilling, account of his eXperince in south Alabama. While in Escambia county in the guise of capitalist he went through the large turpentine or chards in company with Charles Stew art the brother of the Stewart who was killed by Railroad Bilf several months ago. His pretended mission was to pur- chase land, but his real mission was to get some information from the negroes as to the wherea bouts of Railroad Mr Haynes says that he visited the spot where Stewart was shot and also spent some time on Murder creek. He says that the swamps there are very dense and that it is almost impossible to find any one hiding there. On account of the dense undergrowth one is not vis- ible twenty yards distant, and if one ever comes up on Railroad Bill' the chances are ten to one in favor of the negro.

into circulation by issuing circulars di-
rected to the banks all over the country
first issued by Republican administIa-
ton, then re-issued by the Democrats
stating that the government would for
ward, expressage prepaid, any amount of
silver dollars in return for greenbacks,
to get them into circulation. But the
banks wouldn't have them. The people
had no use for them. That is why these
silver cart wheels remain in the treasury.
Money is commercial tool of trade, and
people want the best tool, just as car
penter does, or as a farmer does. The
best tool for money transactions is gold.
We can't do business with the Germans,
Scandinavians, the Latin union, unless
we have gold. You see much in the
papers about gold going out of this
county, but little OF the other side.
There are certain times when gold goes
out to pay interest due, but other times
when it comes back to pay for exports.
Less actual m oney is used than formerly,
owing to perfection of methods of doing
business. Messrs. Swerdfnger and Larkin
