SOME FACTS ABOUT SILVER.
A savannah Bank President Puts His
Views in Print,

Mr.. w. w. Chisholm, president of Chat
ham Bank under date of Sept. 10, writes
as follows to the New York Herald:
1--WE started out in 1892 with a gold dol
lar of z grains standard gold and a silver
dollar of 4l6 grains standard silver. In
1884 we reduced the gold dollar to 25 $40
grains and in 1887 the silver dollar to
AGA grains. Then in 1853 we again reduced
the half dollar to 1872 grains, quarters,
dimes, and half-dimes proportionately
Then in 1873 we substituted the trade dol
lar with 42O grains The trade dollar was
a failure, and we stopped coming it in 1887
From 1892 to 1873 only about 100000 Of
silver dollars were coined, and during the
life of the trade dollar only about So OO0-
600. From 1892 to 1873 more than SIPS Co.,
900 in half-dollars and S45,000,000 in quar-
1T is perfectly clear to my
the business of the " Country o 5nI,
demands a small amount of silver dol
lars, no matter what the ratio is, and with
them. 1t is equally clear that silver
has always played the part of a subsidi-
airy coin, as shown by the large amount in
half dollars and quarters in proportion
to dollars So much for the past
How are we doing now? Since 1878 we
have coined more than 427000000 of silver
dollars. 1t is now taxing the credit of
the government to keep them at par with
gold. All that saves them from a drop of
80 per cent Is the payment of gold by the
government on all demands due in either
silver or gold. This makes them as good
as gold Whenever this stops silver viii
have TO stand on its own intrinsic value
We all know what that is.

ARRESTED FOR FORGERY.
Chester sexton Presented Orders
Signed by Cant. II. VI. Fleetwood.


Chester Sexton was arrested yester-
day by Policeman Z. F. Davis on a
charge Of forgery. He is now confined
at the barracks on that charge. and
Will likely appear before Recorder VIII
son this morning. Sexton is a watch
man, and as such was quite well known
10 the pilots on the river.
Thursday he went to James S. Silva's
crockery and china house and presented
an order for two lamps, signed by Capt
1. NJ. Fleetwood, secretary and treasurer
OF the steam pilot boat j. II. Estlll
These We're given him, and very shortly
afterwards he presented another order
for a lamp, and yesterday he presented
orders for two large pitchers and bowls,
a dozen fruit dishes, a dozen china din
and a dozen dessert plates, all signed by
Capt. Fleetwood. Each of the orders
stated that the goods were wanted for
the Estill, and one or two of them sta
ted that the bearer would select the
goods.
1t appears that when the goods were
given him Sexton took them around to
kaskels paWnshOp, where he got what
he could on them. In all it is supposed
that about so worth of goods was Sc
thing wrong and notified Capt. Fleetwood,
so when Sexton went for the goods yes
terday he was followed after leaving the
store, and it was soon found that he was
heading for Kaskeis place. He was then
arrested on the charge of forgery.
A part of his effects are held a the
barracks. Several orders for goods on

MUST MAKE A NEW BOND.
But Constable BOOz Has Disappeared
and VIII Hardly Do II.

The county commissioners have receiv-
ed a notice from Gov. w. Y. Atkinson
stating that Messrs. ]. P. Wright and
Jas. Hart, sureties on the bond of Consta-
bic VIM. R. Booz of the Sixth district,
have given notice that for good and suf-
ficient cause they desire to be relieved
therefrom.
Gov. Atkinson states in his official noti-
hcation that the causes stated are deem
ed good, and that the relief should be
granted. He has therefore ordered that
Nm. r. BooZ execute before the commits
sioners a new bond with other sureties
within ten days after a personal service
on him Of a copy of the governors order.
On his failure to do so the executive oftlce
is to be notified at once.
As Booz has made his way to some
other region than that around Savannah
it is hard to see how personal service of
copy of the governors order can be
made upon him. Booz. as will be remem-
bered, levied on a mule belonging to an old
colored woman, and instead of disposing
of the mule in due legal form, he
borrowed some money on the animal and
then traded il off for a horse. Neither
Booz nor the horse have been heard from
since.
Constable Hartigan has a bail in trover
warrant for him now taken out at JUS
tice Patterson's court by the woman from
whom the mule was taken, but up to the
present writing he has been unable to To-
cate his man, and so has everybody else
who has wanted him.

Have to Take Care of Them.
The inspection of commercial buildings
by the chief and assistant chief fireman,
which is now going on, is being done I'M
der the rule recently adopted by the fire
committee requiring such inspec-
tions once in every sixty days
There has been a city ordinance for a
good many years, giving the firemen the
privilege of making such inspections. The
privilege has seldom been taken advant-
age Of, however and the object of the
new rule is TO carry il into effect. The
fremen are authorized to enter any build
ing, stable or yard for the purpose of in
quirng or searching for gun powder, hay,
straw, fodder, pitch, tar, rosin, turpen-
tine, hemp, OIL tallow, unpacked cotton
or any other combustibe substance which
may be in danger Of taking fire
The ordinance seems to leave the ques-
tion as to danger of combustion to the
firemen making the inspection. Where the
firemen believe such danger to exist they
have authority to notify the owners to at
once remove the intammable material to
safe quarters, and if the owner neglects
or refuses to comply with the order the
firemen are authorized to remove the ma
terial TO some safe place and store il at

musical conceit, and satirizes popular
themes and characters of the day, intro
duces pretty music, attractive girls, clev-
er comedians, affording an entertainment
in which there Is hardly a break in the
laughter. A iattering sale of seats is in
progress.

Savannah once or twice a year for a
dozen years or more and always to crowd
