Knew What Courts Were Made For.

A humorous scene was enacted in the
superior courtroom ut jackson, Ga, re-
Gently just after sentence had been passed
upon negro charged with burglarizing a
store. Colonel Watkins defended the negro
and was about to open his case with well
prepared Grafton of his innocence when the
negro quietly informed the colonel that he
desired to plead guilty.
Mr.. Watkins then stated to the court
words to tho effect that the defendant de-
sired to confess his guilt.
Judge Beck accordingly read the law In
the case and stuck the negro for ten long
years.
After sentence had been passed and quiet
reigned supreme the negro walled his eyes
round and beckoned Colonel Watkins tc
como forward, and when the lawyer reach
cd his side the negro gently whispered:
"Say, Mr.. Watkins, KANT yer peal fer
new trialY'
Tho scene was quite ludicrous and caus
cd much laughter. Constitution.

A lesson which every girl should learn
Is to keep her wits about her. Whenever
There Is an accident requiring prompt and
Intelligent assistance there is pretty sure
to be some woman on hand To faint Now
fainting cannot always be avoided, hut AS
those who have fought against it testify, it
Is often tho result of just letting yourself
50, whereas an effort would have saved
you. Tho most useful women In the world
arr those who have self control Men turn
To women naturally when sickness or accl-
dent occurs and they reverence tho sex
which can direct or follow directions for
tho relief Of suffering. Every girl should
nerve herself to withstand tho shock pro.
duced by the sight of blood and should lc

UNITED TO RELIEVE.
Bvs Not Combin ned to Injure Is the Motto
of This Society.


of This Society.
Tue experiment. of organizing a society
on the cooperative plan in Knoxville and
Allentown, Pa, is now year old. The
first anniversary of the Integral Co-opera-
tive association, composed of people in that
community, was celebrated with an enter
tainment in the Allentown Turner hall
While the association has membership
Of only 1873, there were 700 people at the
celebration. The programme consisted
principally Of vocal and instrumental
music by good local talent. President J.
Edward Chesley made speech, in which
he told of the progress the movement had
made.
Mr.. Chesley is an enthusiast who be-
lieves the world is slowly but surely re-
solving itself into one mighty social organ
ization, in which the golden rule will be
universally practiced and in which every
body will buy groceries at one common
supply house at cost During his talk the
president called attention to u large stream
er stretched across the hall ON which was
painted this motto, UNITED to Relieve,
Not Combined to Iniure." In fact, this
sentiment was the keynote of his short
speech. He declared that the "old boat Of
COllpctltlOH IS SlHklnS anu tIle IlltDOaG VI
corporation is coming to the rescue"
He explained the value of cooperative
effort as illustrated by the grocery owned
and conducted by the association. He said
that all the storcrooms now occupied by
stores in excess of those absolutely neces-
sary to supply the people were waste of
rent. His theory is that all profit made
by the stores which the community could
get along without is II species of robbery
and that the patrons are the people robbed.
In connection with the printed pro-
gramme was II statement of the condition
of tho cooperative grocery. From these
figures it would appear that the weekly
sales are 1886, and that there has been
gain in the assets of the grocery of $415.42
since it has been running. The balance
sheet shows that the store invoices 81 022. 80
in merchandise and $4S4.39 in fixtures
with $l34.79 cash ON hand.
The Bellamy association, which is an
outgrowth of the Integral association, now
owns toby factory and employs l6 people

SILVER AND PRICES.
o. umodities Have Fallen Twenty Per Cent.
Silver Has Reduced One-half.

In his speech at Gainesville, Ga. on
July 23, the Hon. Hoke Smith said:
The claim, therefore, that the money
Of final payment has been reduced one
half, thereby depriving the public Of q
sufficient volume, is simply groundless.
We still use gold and silver both and
have more than we ever had prior tc
the spassage Of the act OF 1878. The
claim also that the currency has con-
tracted. thereby approaching the value
Of gold, is shown 20 be false by the
enormous output Of gold last year. II
was the largest in the worlds history
and amounted TO 1871 800, 900. The
world $ coinage Of gold in 1898 rose to
1899, 1885, 900, and that Of silver to
$135, $3.50, 900, making the largest year.
ly coinage III the worlds history. with
possibly one exception, The world 8
stock in full legal tender. gold and sill.
yer, today is, by the largest statistics.
$8, 965, 900, 600 gold and 49,, 435, 800, 600
silver, and it must not be forgotten that
even though the gold standard may be
in force, tho silver coined furnishes
money for final redemption to relieve
the pressure upon gold, just as IL it had
been coined upon free coinage plan.
The claim that gold has appreciated,
thereby depreciating the valne of prod
ucts, il based upon the theory that tho
decrease in the value Of silver and in
tho valuo Of products has been contem.
poraneous. A careful examination Of
the facts shows this not to be true The
average decrease Of commodities since
1878 has been about 20 per cent. Tho
heaviest decline has been in the line OF
those things which the masses Of tho
people buy All these reductions in
prices are partly attributed to lessened
cost of production and partly to the re-
cent panic. While the commodities have
fallen 30 per cent silver has fallen so
per cent
. But to consider particular articles In
1873 corn sold for III contsa bushel sill
yer was worth BIB IN ounce In 1898
corn sold for so cents silver was worth
81 cents an ounce. Silver had fallen 90
per cent and corn had risen 20 per cent
In 1873 wheat was worth $l.17 II bush.
ell silver was $1.3l an ounce. In 1873
wheat was $l.34 bushel; silver was
81. 10 an ounce. In 1880 wheat was 90
cents silver Sl04 In 1895 wheat was
IS cents II bushel; silver 81 cents an
ounce.
Cotton This il tho production in
which our people arc directly interested
Tho claim that the value Of cotton de-
pended upon the rise or fall of silver
has been shown to be without founda'
tion this year. Cotton in tho last four
months has risen 30 per cent; silver 3
per cent. Prior to 1878 the price Of cot
ton varied from to DO cents. Silver
never foil below $i.20. In lS45 cotton
sold for 4 cents. Silver was then $l 32

Sociaiistio In Its Tendencies.
II cannot 10 denied that tho spirit of
much Of tho free coinage literature is
distinctly opposed to those rights of
property which are mt tho bottom Of our
whole social system. II il not nocdful
to dwell on tho fact that human prog,
ross il only possible whom tho producers
Of wealth aro protected IN the posses
sion of all thoy create Tho examples of
those countries where property is inse-
cure is sufficient proof that tho enjoy
mont Of property Is tho first requisite of
civilization
Various schools Of agitators, such as
the socialists, communists and anarch
lists, are seeking To abolish tho institu.
ton of private property In tho cheap
money agitation which is swceping over
tho country wo find tho essential ideas
of the socialists, etc, in another form,
There are in this country II large mum.
Dor of people who huvo saved II little
money, which they have loaned ont to
others, The advocates of free silver
boldly claim that tho result of the adop.
tion of their money scheme would be to
take from all creditors one-hnlf Of their
property by enabling debtors to repay
their loans with dollars worth half rs
much ms of those borrowed. This is
nothing less than proposition to tako
the property of those who have saved
money aud invested 1t, and to give it to
those who have borrowed or, i'll other
words, tho confscation by law Of ono.

Better living in lowly place
Than lofty station with it, honor lost.
