AN HONEST CONFESSION

An honest confession is good for the
 soul, and here is one from the Augusta
 in Georgia: "1rhere is no doubt about the
 action of the Kentucky Democratic State
 Convention. The effect of it cannot be re-
 fined away by sophistry. It was square
 age side. The President and his policy
 were indorsed. True, the nominee for
 Governor is a free coinage man on a gold
 platform. The Constitution may see a sil-
 Kentucky, but we can't sec. it through our specks. Uncle Remus might as well frankly acknowledge the defeat in Ken lucky. ."-Atlanta Journal, July l, 1885, Another honest confession was made here by an honest free silver man within the past few days. He admitted that the value of silver could not be fixed by law except as a debt-paying medium. Be- ing asked whether he thought this was honest. he replied. "Yes-as honest as a bankrupt law"
 If the advocates of the free and unlim- ited coinage of silver would only come out with equal frankness and admit the effect of the adoption of their theories, the country would be spared many of the tribulations which now afflict us, and the basic vice of the free coinage idea would be made so plain that no honest thinking man could be long deceived If | the purpose is to pay debts at 50 cents | on the dollar, avow it as our honest | friend did. and let the issue be fairly 1 made and presented. and we have nc l doubt as to the result before the Ameri- i can people.

FREE COINAGE AND MATRIMoNY.

Senator Stewart of Nevada has added a new count to the indictment of the gold bugs for the "crime of 1873" It is that the result of their conspiracy reacts against the legal propagation of the hu- man race; that it has already reduced to an alarming extent the percentage of marriages in proportion to the popula- tion, and that still further reductions are certain to follow unless the "crifne' is avenged and silver is remonetized The Senator really appears to be fearful that the human family-eXcept the goldbugs- will become morally worse than savages, unless silver is given it's rights" That his fears are well founded he says he can prove by statistics.
 So it seems the silverites purpose mar rying off everybody happily as well as making them rich. The silverites see that the men are dropping away from their fad and they are trying to catch the women. That accounts for the earnestness with which the silverites in this city insisted that the ladies should hear Bryan. They offer free coinage and a husband at the same time.

Old Pickens Stands Out for Sound Money.
 An Energetic Minister.

An Energetic Minister.
 Carrollton, July 1.-(Special Corre- spondenee.) 1.-The majority of the demo- crats of Pickens are in favor of sound currency, and l believe that they will indorse the financial policy of Cleveland and Carlisle. Some of the advocates of free silver in this section last year now say that they want a good dollar, whether it be gold, silver or paper.
 Providence has been generous to the people of Pickens in giving them good crops almost without an exception. If the boom which has given better wages to the laborers of the iron regions can extend to this county the financial prob lem will be settled here without any act -ef-eongress.
 Corn is selling in the prairies of west ern Pickens at 40 cents per bushel, and is delivered in this place by parties lv- ing in the neighborhood of Beard's S mill and Reform at 65 cents. Farmers in this county are selling in Carrollton hams. bacon and lard at 10 cents per pound.
 Rev. E. V. L. Finch, a Methodist min fster in charge of the Gordo circuit in this county, has the reputation for being the best gardener in Pickens. His exam pie as a laborer in the Lords vineyard and in the fields of the parsonage is con- tagious, and many persons are following in his footsteps. He works with his own hands as well as breaches.
 Ed Lipsey was bound over on Saturday 'f hlS appearance at the next term of the circuit court for shooting at George Nillett The parties are colored. It is reported on good authority that George Wiilett made the best record for fast running at the time of the shooting that was ever made on the streets of Car rollton. The difficulty occurred Friday night.
 The Carrollton nine played a game of baseball against the club of Marion, a few miles east of this place, on last Sat urday and was victorious by few scores.
 The village of Reform in this county has five residences. two stores, a mill and public gin. The citizens of the place Will ask for a daily mail line to the Georgia Pacific railway, and that the letters and papers for Palmetto and Re- form be forwarded from Kennedy in- stead of via Eutaw, under the scheme now in force.
 The cholera has attacked the hogs of Mir. J. M. Chamblee, who lives five miles south of this place. The. disease being contagious to some extent cannot spread very much, as this is a stock law dis trict, wherein the hogs are not allowed to run at large. An old farmer states that the medicines used should be mostly preventive, such as hickory ashes and copperas. and that these should be given freely in the food

The free coinage advocate talks very eloquently of the crime of 1873, which struck down silver and blocked the wheels of progress" Yet about that time Birmingham was founded, and it's great growth has been achieved in spite of "the crime of 1873" Prior to that time the land now included in the corporate limits of Birmingham was a farm, and was worth about 5000; now it is assessed at S20, GOO. This rapid increase has taken place under the present monetary system, which the free coinage advo- cates denounce so bitterly. Therefore, the free silver citizens who entertained Mir. Bryan could not consistently take him to the mountain top and show him the furnaces and shops and mines and coke ovens and tall towers of the city,
 as is customary when a big man visits the city. Every furnace and mine and shop is an argument against the policy he breaches. He would have us believe that ever since 1873 the country has been rapidly drifting heilward. The only ob- ject that MT. Bryan's entertainers could show him was the poor house. Even the poor house speaks well for the pros

The last ap- propriation has been expended except the amount necessary to pay watch men and care for stock and machinery.

 Yesterday ofternoon about 12:S0 the New South saloon, whose proprietor is William Tucker. was burglarized, the show case being broken into and several quarts of the best whisky in the house taken, besides the cash box, containing about $50 or $60, and some valuable pa- pers. Being Sunday the store was of course closed. The burglar made his en- trance from the rear, the latch to that door having been tempered with, the screw being withdrawn and attack pushed in to hold it in place Circum- stances all point to a young man of this community who is well connected and once stood well in the opinion of the citi- Zens, but who has been gradually drop ping lower and lower in the social scale until he has reached the bottom step.

Speaks What He Knows of the Agricultural

Speaks What He Knows of the Agricultural
 and Mechanical College.
 To the Age-Herald:
 Some time ago I saw letter in one of our papers in regard to the expenses of student at the Agricultural and Mechan- ical college. A boy can go through col lege there and pay for uniform, board and all expenses for $1S0. A good many have gone through on even less, and paid all expenses with S175. parent that can't afford that amount for his son should keep him at home behind the blow or at some business where he can feed and clothe himself. A thing that can be had for nothing is neither appreciated by the person obtaining it nor the public at large.
 In the same communication the ques- tion was asked, Why go north for Yale or Cornell graduates to direct the work on the Wetumpka bridge, instead of an Alabama boy?" The writer should re- member the knowledge gained at those northern colleges costs from $1000 to $5000 a year, and of course the advantages must be greater and the men more effi- cient.
 What we want at Auburn is not ex- penseS cheaper than $175 a session, but a sweeping out of the old fossils from the president to the board of trustees, and give us live, progressive men, who will work for the true interests of the col lege, and not want to go backward fifty or seVenty-fiVe years. Some of the board go to Auburn and stay only few hours, when pressing business calls them home, and the college is run as one man dic- tates. I don't think there are three mem- bers of the board that are college gradu- ates. If this institution in twenty-three years can't find men who are competent for trustees from her alumni the sooner it closes it's doors the better Give us on the board our alumni, whose watchword shall be progress and onward. These men would know more of the needs of the college, and I think would at least remain long enough to do their duty. I have before me a circular issued by pr. Brown, which says; "rhe author- ties of this college are of the opinion that its future prosperity depends largely on the question of inexpensive board for students"
 What an admission from the authori- the equipment, the faculty and the educa- tional advantages-bu low board. Why, the state allows 50 cents day for her prisoners; certainly the people of the state can give 50 cents day for caring | for their sons in the comfortable way | they are provided for with fuel, light and food.
 The alumni should demand of the gov | ernor that he do away with the fossils, | and give us men who have graduated at | the college-mcn with broad views and | correct ideas-not men who think the | worth of diploma depends on the price | of board. ALIMNUS. Montgomery, July 1.

Dr. Newman remarks that "most men like opinions to be brought to them, rather than to be at the pains to go out and seek for them" "In an age like this" he continues. "when every one reads, and has voice in public matters, it is in- dispensable that they should have per- sons ito provide them with their ideas, the clothing of their minds, and that of the best fashion" The clothing of the mind by such transparent arguments as the silverites use is too gauzy for comfort sor modesty.
