Cured of Free silver.

President Max Robinson. of the
Georgia branch of the T. p. A.. is
showing his friends pc: silver dol
lar and telling them how a few days
in Mexico is pretty apt to convert the
strongest free silverite into the most
ardent sound money man.
The j2c. silver dollar is a Mexican
dollar with more intrinsic value than
our silver dollar: that is. there is more
silver in it than there Is in one of
Uncle Sans silver dollars. Never
theless it is worth just the bullion
value: or pc. and that is all it brings
in the country that coins it and at its
own mints when it is hot from the dies.
Mr.. Robinson got his silver dollar
at the Mexican mint. It was one of
a number coined while the travelling
men visited the mint and each of them
paid pc in United States currency
for the Mexican dollar. If the United
States adopts free coinage Mr.. Robin
son has made arrangements to have
shipped to him a car load of Mexican
dollars at New Orleans. there to be
minted into United States coins at a
handsome profit. provided. like the
Mexican dollar. there is not too rapid
a depreciation in their purchasing
power.
There were 80 travelling men in the
party that invaded Mexico. Among
them We're some free silverites. rabid

by some practical illustrations of the
advantages of free silver. The prac-
teal illustrations met them on all
sides. all the way from the Rio Grande
to the door OF the palace of President
Diaz. Instead of the notes being in
the eyes of the sound money men the
free silverites discovered that there
were large planks of errors in their
optics. They studied the situation
bravely. confronted their lessons like
men. took their own medicine without
a grimace and when the return trip
was made rendered thanks that they

I3. As for the wheels. it was cried
unto them in my hearing, O wheel.
II. And every one had four faces:
the first face was the face of a cherub,
and the second face was the face of a
man. and the third the face of lion.
and the forth the face of an eagle.
Il. And the cherubim were lifted
up. This is the living creature that |
saw by the River Che bar.
Ii. And when the cherubim went
the wheels went by them: and when the
cherubim lifted up their wings tomount
up from the earth. the same wheels
also turned not from beside them.
Il. When they stood. these stood:
and when they were lifted up. these
lifted themselves also: for the spirit
of the living creatures was in them.
Is. Then the glory of the Lord de-
parted from the threshold of the house.
and stood over the cherubim.
10. And the cherubim lifted up
their wings. and mounted up from the
earth in my sight: when they went out.

glory of the God of Israel was over
them above.-Ezekel. Cha pter Y. Yer

IT WAS FIRE.
And The Fire Depart
ment Was There.
The Anderson -Abernathy Livery sta
bic and Residence .on Good Hope
street Licked Up by the
Flames

At ll:l0 last Monday night the
fire bells,sOunded the alarm of fire and
when people ran out of their houses
to learn the location of the fire the
flames were shooting high in the air
from the roof of the Anderson Alb
nathy livery stable on Good Hope
street and the light directed every
body to the building that was being
licked up by the flames.
The fire department responded
promptly to the alarm, but before the
hose carts got on the ground the
flames were all over the livery stable
building and the one-story frame res
idence building only few feet away
was burning inside and out. Four
streams of water played on the build
ings and the flames on the residence
We're finally checked, but not until the
house had been so badly damaged
that it was hardly worth saving. The
stable was completely destroyed to-
gether with several fine wagons, a
band wagon and circus tent that be-
lOnged to BurtOn's show that dis
banded here last month. The livery
stable was not occupied "a a livery
stable and the show property was
stored there.
The stable and residence belonged
to F. y. Kage and the two buildings
We're worth probably fifteen hundred
dollars. They were insured for seven
hundred dollars. The origin of the
fire is unknown.
The fire department surely deserves
much credit. The members of the fire
company worked like veteran firemen.
Chief Of the department. L. J. Albert.
jr.. was on the grounds early giving
instructions and his men went to work
in way that showed they understood
their business. Had the alarm been
sounded when the fire was first dis
covered the firemen would have saved
both buildings with little trouble.

Good Corn Crops Everywhere.

The prospect for a phenomenal crop
of corn is not only excellent through
out the corn belt. but from the ex-
treme east and west. from the south
ern coast and from the gulf states
comes the cheering news that the corn
crop was never in better condition.
the country there are but
a few isolated spots where it is said
to be slightly backward or affected by
drought. So favorable have the re-
ports become of an enormous crop
that the managers of the various rail
roads that traverse the valleys of the
Mississippi and Missouri rivers are
ready making arrangements and per-
tecting their equipment for handling
the crop. The force of workmen has
been increased in a number of the
shops and rolling stock is being re-
paired and made available for use in
TO new freight ears that are
being hurried rapidly in construction.
The government report of July 10
indicated that there would be an un-
large yield of corn. but since
that report was issued the conditions
have vastly improved. Secretary
Morton has called for special report
upon corn from all weather stations.
which will be furnished next Tuesday.
The acreage of corn is far in advance
of other years. as the condition is bet
ter. The last good corn year was in
1891. SO that the large crop of this
year follows not alone a single year
of crop failure. but three years of
poor returns.

The Plank Barn.

4 new system of barn building has
been in use in Central Ohio for "A Sc
ries of years. which Waldo F. Brown
describes as giving a barn a far great
er strength than the old plan of heavy
timbers morticed and tenoned together,
with saving of about half the frame
tember. and more than three-fOrths of
the work of framing. This barn is
called ''the plank barn" and the en-
tire frame is made of by s planks.
except nails. tins and rafters. which
are by 6. There is, according to the
''New England farmer not a NOR
tise or tenon in the building. but il is
put together with spikes and carriage
bolts. and two men will form large
barn ready to raise in four days. such
a one as it would take them four
weeks to frame on the old plan. At
81 per day for carpenters. the saving
in wages would be $50 in framing the
barn. and. as a farmer must board
hi carpenters. counting the board of
two men for twenty days. at j0c each
PEI day. we have saved $50 more.
making the saving in labor and board
$40. besides the saving of lumber.

Grants Grandson.

The most interesting piece Of news
which has reached town this week is
the rumOr from Naragansett Pier that
Algernon SartOris, son of Mrs. Nell
lie Grant-SartOris. and a grandson of
Gen. Grant, is engaged to young
lady of New York City. Young Sar-
tOris is not yet in hi .Ienties. so it is
likely that the report has little
foundation in truth. though the fact
was sent in by a correspondent at
that resort. Sartoris has been in
America now for some time. though
he was born and educated in England
and resided there until last year. He
is a slender. blonde youth, fond of
sports. and very unlike his plump.
pretty brunette mother. who is much
like Spaniard in her appearance.
Mrs. Sartoris is still at the Hot
Springs of Virginia. She has given
up her pretty white stone house which
she occupied last winter. but it is not
known just where she will select to
spend the coming year.-WashingtOn

NEW BALLOT BOX.
\ MissOurian's Plan for Honest Vot-
ing.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-. August s.
a. w. Eisner, of this city, has com
pleted the model of ballOt-bOx and
applied for a patent.
When a ballot is placed in the box
a bell will ring, and by clock work
arrangement the register will indicate
the number of the ballot in plain view
of the judges, challengers and voter.
The box is also provided with a
double lock arrangement. by which
the slot in the box is securely closed.
and it can be sealed in such IA manner
that by no possible device can the seal
be tampered with except by destroying
it entirely.
For convenince the inside of the box
is provided with receptacle for pens.
ink. pencils. etc. which can be re-
moved before voting commences. The
box is eighteen inches long. ten inches
wide and ten inches deep. They will
be made of steel.
The machinery and locks afford
every precautiOn against stuffing the
box or removing the ballots there
from. Frauds of this kind could only
be cOnsumated with the full knowledge
and consent of all the judges and
clerks of election.

folding voting booths now in general
use in many States.
