A HASTY CALCULATION.

The Difference Between Simple and
Compound Interest.
A unique complaint was filed in
district court yesterday in suit by P.
7. Burtis against James w. Walker in
which it is stated that on April IL, 1889,
the defendant gave the plaintiff his
promissory note for $1,000, the interest
to be compounded and the payment
secured by mortgage on certain real
estate. Payments were made upon the
note until October % of last year, when
the defendant desired the indebtedness
yet due to be assigned to another per-
son. He was desirous that the assign
ment should be made that day before
the close of banking hours in order that
there could be no hitch in the arrange
ment for transference of the indebt-
edness. The plaintiff objected on the
ground that it was then so near the
close of business hours that he would
not have time to accurately calculate
the interest.
Being shown the Importance to the
defendant. however, of immediate at
tention to the business, the plaintiff
says he consented to make the assign
ment that afternoon and in hasty cal
culation of the interest found the
amount yet due to be s1,714. This was
paid him and the note and mortgage
were assigned. 1t transpired though
that he had calculated only simple in
terest, whereas the note was drawing
compound interest, by which the
amount would have reached $2,118 20
He sues, therefore, for the difference

New YORK, Jan. 25.-Bradstreet's
Trade Review says: Special adyices
from distributing centers fail to relate
any marked improvement in the move
ment of merchandise and the conclusion
is forced that the great trade situation
remains as before, characterized by
small volume, low prices, hand to
mouth sales and the outlook favors a
very conservative trade for some time
time to come.

Atlanta, Dec. 5.-Senator Ben R.
Tillman and Governor John Gary
Evans of South Carolina were de-
nounced by the members of the Ex-
position Exhibitors association this
morning Resolutions condemning
their speeches on South Carolina day
at the exposition as inhammatory
utterances, were adopted, and the
two South Carolin'ans were referred
to as ranting demagogues, cut throats
and moonshiEers
The resolutions in part said:
Resolved, That for the fame and
good name of the Atlanta Exposition
at which these men were unfortu.
nately permitted to speak, we de-
nounce their speeches as being de-
void of reason, sense and patriotism,
and We repudiate the speakers In
this we fell confident we are but voic-
ing the sense of our country and the
earnest feelings of the better people
of all the Southern States.
Resolved, That we sympathize also
with the management of this Expo
sition, that under the cloak Of tenn
porary authority two such fanatics
should have been able to intrnde
their utterances upon the otherwise
healthy and satisfactory proceedings
that have characterized this enter
prise. But while dismissing the
utterances of these men as unworthy
of further notice from our association
or the country. we do not forget that
in the general economy Of nature,
mankind must have its troubles and
communities their affections 1t is
not many years since California was
annoyed by brace ofoandits known
as Evans and Sontag, and the exhi-
bition witnessed here on the 2oth OF

during, through its own indiscretlons,

We notice with pleasure that some
Of the correspondents OF our Western
contemporaries are advocating the
plating OF both fruit and nut trees
along the highways In place OF those
kinds that bear nothing In the way
of food for either man or beast. One
writer admits that the nut trees are
Just as handsome and yield just as
much shade as naples and elms while
they bear something OF economic
value in addition. The idea that the
boys and others passing along tho
roads would take all the nuts Is only
true where there is onlya tree or two
of such kinds in many miles, for 1t Is
rarity and scarcity which excites our
curiosity and acquisitiveness. II at
