How Merchants May Contribute Toward
Expanding Gold Reserve.

Expanding Gold Reserve.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 26.--Gimbel Bros,
cry goods dealers of this city, shipped
100000 in gold coin to the secretary of the
treasury today under the recent agreement
Of Secretary Carlisle TO pay express
charges both on the gold received and the
greenbacks sent in return. They arc the
first merchants to take advantage OF the
concession offered by the secretary Of the
treasury.
One of the members of the firm said:
"We have done this simply to encourage
our fellow merchants throughout the
country TO do likewise, The country's
credit is not now in danger, but IL 1t were,
a similar actien on the part of tho thou
sands of prosperous retail dealers in the
big cities would expand the gold reserve to
such an extent that there would be no
further financial scare. Speaking for our
own firm, can say that we are willing to
exchange every dollar in gold we receive
for an equal amount in greenbacks."

kuRos START A RELIGIOUS WAR
For the Avowed Purpose Of

LONDON, Nov. 26.--A dispatch to The
Daily News from ConstantinSple, giving
a general resume of the situation, declares
that the recent massacros put the earlier
outrages of Sassoun and Moosh entirely In
the background.
II either England, France or Russia
should publish the stories reported OIL

conditions is worth more than the acres that produce 1t.
 The function of raw cotton, cotton in the seed, is to justify the perfected market able property in cotton-the cotton textile. To illustrate: About 100, ,O0O bales of cotton go annually to Selma for marketing. A reserve annually of one-tenth of this bulk at cents would give S2bo ,Ooo cash. Take for granted that planters invest that sum in cotton mills at a cost of $50, ,000 each mill. The first year of the experiment would close upon mill, say, at Marion Junction, another at Browns Station, one at Uniontown, one at Fauusdsle, one at .Demopolis-fve in all-all on line of rail- road not exceeding forty miles in length, along which fifteen miles on either side 100, ,00O bales are certainly produced. There is nothing of an industrial nature more certain than 100 .ooO bales at cents (mini- mum price) from the section of country embraced in the era named.
 One-tenth of their annual product of cotton in the seed, delivered at mill, to oe ginped and man nufactured, would make the cotton farmers of this country far richer than ever they were in the palmiest days of the past.
 Starting on this general plan or one tenth individual subscriptions of cotton to mills they would soon spin and weave every pound of the product of their fields and much more. They would divert the coal of the mountain counties to home consumption, not only at mills, but in the building up at Birmingham of an immense trade n tue man ufacture of mill machin- r cry, farm tools, railroad iron, etc. The AeE- HERALD has from time to time earnestly sought the ear of the intelligent cotton farmers to consider the easy fortune
 in their reach in cooperative acti on to build cotton mills. Cotton subscriptions are the best subscriptions available and are entirely feasible upon which to initiate the enterprise upon which the future of this noble class of men unalterably de- pends

THE MATTER OF FEES.

MIR. w. B. LEEDY PUTS SOME QUESTIONS
 WHICH THE TAX COLLECTOR MAY AN
 swER. To the Age-Herald:
 BIRMINGHAM, Feb. 22.-On the 18th in- stant Mayor VanHoose issued proclama- ton that executions have been levied on real and personal property, and if not paid by March 1 an additional fee of B will be charged for advertising. Simultaneous with this advertisement fl. ia. signed by the oity clerk, commanding the tax col- lector, George EuHtis, to make thetax of h of per cent, together with interest at the rate of 8 per cent per annum from May ], i, 1894, and @ fee of LEO additional.
 Kindly inform your readers what is the law on this subject. We are informed that the fee for issuing this fl. ia. does not be- come charge until the execution is ac- tually levied and the property sold, and first. Now the tax collector demands his fee even before the property goes to sale. We have quite large rental list that we pay taxes for our clients, and commence have funds to their credit. Oftentimes we advance the taxes to save the 50 cent fee to them, and 50 cents is the only fee we have ever had to pay before unless the property was advertised. We have just about half a dozen taxes that are unpaid and they are due
 
 before this. Now we offered to pay the clever tax collector a 50 fee each in two cases that we were personally interested ip, 1, and offered to pay 50 cents in each case where our landlords were interested, but the $1 additional fee in each case we think hardship. We feel sure that the tax ool- lector, whose income Is derived only from fees now, Is not in the office "for the ben. eft of his health.' Indeed he iptimated as much, but this extra dollar would go far towards buying prescription for the tax payer whose "health" might become in- volved. Comparisons are odious, but our friends at the court house, whether res quired by law or not, take the trouble to visit the tax payer several times and r6. mind them of their taxes. Heretofore we have paid city taxes as late as May 20 with- out any further cost than 30 cent delin- quent fee. We appreciate that the city is in need of money and it is incumbent upon all to pay their taxes promptly, but is it right to make them pay fees if they are not lawful2 Now we wish your opinion on this matter. was 6 reformer in the lasl campaign, and if this is reform then beg pardon ahd have no right to be heard, but as there have been so many changes h the f6iorm idea already inaugurated that 1uel win to know "where l am at.u Youra

AMBULANoEs WITH SMALLPOX PATIENTS
 STOPPED NEAR ST. LOUIS.
 ST. LOUIS, Feb. 22.-Three hospital am- balances conveying five smallpox patients to the pest hospital were detained at the boundary of the Jefferson barracks reserva- ton for four hours yesterday. The bar racks are nine miles south of the city, and the only road to the pest hospital is through the grounds.
 Colonel Burlington, commanding the post, became alarmed at the number of ambulances passing, and posted soldiers at the entrance to the reservation with orders to stop the ambulances. At 5p. rn. Health Officer Homan was informed of the situa- tion, and hastened to the barracks. Col. onel Burlington was induced to allow the embargoed ambulances to proceed, but an effort will be made to get the city harbor boats through the ice to the pest hospital.

THE KEYSTONE OF TH D ARCH

In the edifce of health Is vigor, which means not merely muscular energy, but an active discharge of the various functions of the body, such as digestion, secretion of the bills, the action of the bowels, the cir- culation of the blood. Nothing more actively and thoroughly contributes to the united performance of these functions than the renowned tonic and regulator, Hostet- tsr's Stomach Bitters. The result of it's use is speedy gain in strength, together with the agreeable consciousness that the tenure of life is being strengthened-that one is laying up 8 store of vitality against the unavoidable draughts which old age makes upon the system. The fortifying in- f1uence or the bitters constitute it relia- ble safeguard against malaria, rheumatism and kidney trouble. Appetite and sleep improve through its use, and 1t protects the system from the effects of cold and damp.

 ONLY ONE MORE SPEECH To Be Delivered in tte Cocke-
 Huey Murder Trial, AND IT GOES TO THE JURY Two Able Speeches Made for the Defense-The Age-
 Herald in Evidence.
AND IT GOES TO THE JURY

MARION, Feb. 22.-[Sp ecial. l-The be- reaved juror having reported present, court was called at o'clock this morning. Hon. Cecil Browne continued his speech, pie turing to the jury, clothed in magnificent oratory, the causes that led to the shoot ing. Packed to overfiowing, not a soul present in the room lost syllable of his eloquence.
 He produced manuscript of an inter- view with Colonel Huey while in jail, written by the AGE. HERALD's correspond ent at that time and published issthe daily AGE HERALD verbatim. The same was shown to be, according to Colonel Rrey's testimony, correct verbatim, but the cor respondent's testimony when put on the stand last week differed entirely, and much was due to the great daily's correct report having been found and produced in court, producing. as it were, a turning tide. It showed how much the real of the Knights of Pythias had been used by brother knight against the defendant with pur- pose of great harm.
 One could see the scenes being enacted as this wonderful orator covered the entire ground o. the shooting.
 Governor Seay made the next speech for the defense. His name alone bespeaks lots. His speech covered cases from time im- memorial to the present, when in all ages the defense of one's home and loved ones was considered justihable. h this case warning had been given and difficulty had been brewing for years. Its termina- tion had gradually been coming to be certainty. Accidentally it happened while the young men were at home on visit. He drew the life of Colonel Huey as his neighbors knew him-a good, charitable, upright, Christian man.
 At tho close of the governors speech court adjourned. Hon. Charles Brown of Birmingham will close for the state in the morning, and then Judge Tyson will de- liver the charge to the jury.
