THE "FlfTY-CENT DOLLAR.

We hear a great deal about the
.'ffty-cent dollar, hut nothing what
ever about the Northumberland dollar.
BY parity of reasoning, if the silver
dollar is worth only fifty cents, the
value of the gold dollar IS just as GER
tainly two hundred cents, taking the
bullion worth of the metals as the
standard. But both propositions are
equally incorrect and absurd. A dollar
is a hundred-cent dollar whether re-
presented by a certain amount or goli,
silver, nickel or paper, With he same
propriety might a dry goods merchant
change the length of his yard-stick TO
correspond with the value OF the fabric
to be measured. using one seventy
two inches long in the measurement
Of goods worth a dollar a yard II a
thirty-six inch stick for material Oh
only half that value. 1t is an old say
ing that "a pound is a pound the world
over but such Juggling OF our stand
ard weights and measures US the gold
bugs attempt in discussing the cur
rency question, would knock the eter
nal stufing out of that time-honored
axiom, and a %"pound'' would be elg ut
sixteen or thirty ounces, according to
he value of the commodity placed In
the scales for weighing.
Our esteemed friend Bragg of the
Reno Gazette is very fond of a%lludIne
to the "ffty-cent dollar.' In fact 1t
comprises about ninety-eight percen'
Of his editorial stock Suppose
he was to apply, practically, his Imam
cial theory to the printing business
what would become of his ~"thousant
ms" if in his measurment the stand
ard number was made TO vary witt
the size of the type employed and tn
amount OF space it filled? The numbe
would have to be increased or dlmln
ished according to the character Q
type and a scale established deSlGna'
ing what constitutes a Thousand,
with specific figures each for agat
nonpariel, b~ougeoise, BREWER, mimic

This talk of the fifty cent dollar
the most miserable twaddle and bal
erdash. As we'll pirate of an eightee'
inch yard-stick, an eight-ounce pour
weight, a two-quart gallon or a ii
hundred Thousand ms" 1t is II
only a stupid contradiction of term
but a gross and extremely silly pc
version of facts. It is a fools arg
ment which deceives no one Wi

Prior to the nomination Of Mckinley

PURE BOSH.

The American people hold the
financial honor of our Government as
sacred as our tiag,-News.
The free coinage Of silver in no
way furnishes National honor. In

in the old country to barter away the
interest of the people to foreigners,
1t was done without the peoples
knowledge or consent, and the people

pact at the polls on November 3rd.

NO FUsIoNIsTs IN CHATHAM.
Democrats UnaIterabIy Opposed to
the PopuIists' Propositions.

The populist proposition for fusion on
the state electoral ticket does not seem
to have attracted much attention in Sa-
vannah. Very little was said about 1t yes
terday, and whenever the subject was
mentioned surprise was expressed that
such a proposition should have been made.
AS stated in yesterdays Morning News,
the populist state executive committee
met in Atlanta the day before and took
down seven of the electors on the Dopu-
list ticket, leaving six up, and proposed
that the democrats should take down six
of their electors and accept the six popu-
list electors in their stead.
The proposition further stipulated that
all of the electors on the fusion electoral
ticket should support Mr.. Watson for
Vice President, urging that 1t was the pa
trotic thing to do for Georgia TO support
Mr.. Watson as a distinguished son.
Chairman Clay has called a meeting Of
the democratic executive committee to
consider the proposition The decision or
the committee is a foregone conclusion IL
the feeling Of Savannah democrats is
any indication of the feeling of the dem
ocrats throughout the state.
The attention of DR.. William Duncan,
chairman Of the democratic executive
committee, was called to the matter.
DR.. Duncan said that he had given the
subject no consideration.
1T would be a very foolish thing for
the democrats to do" said he. "The
democrats are certain to carry the state
any way, and there is no reason why
they should enter into any fusion with
the populists. 1t would be very bad policy,
| think"
Other leading democrats secuted the
idea. 1T is a pretty cheeky proposition
for the populists to make" was the gen
eral opinion.
Others who were seen expressed them
selves on the same line. 1t is evident that
the fusion idea does not meet with much
favor in Savannah.

PETIT TOOK ALL THE BLAME.
HIS RESPONSE
BILITY FOR THE WRECK.

F. C. and p. officials Investigate the
Swansea COllisiOn-The COrOner's
Jury Did Not Place the Blame.
The South Carolina Railroad
Commission to- Hold an Investiga-
ton To-day.
An investigation of the Florida, Central
and Peninsular wreck was held here yes
terday morning, and the coroner's inquir-
ing into the cause of the death of the VIC
tins of the wreck, was held at Swansea.
The railroad commissioners of South
Carolina will hold an investigation at Co
lumbia to-day. The verdict of the coro-
ner's jury was that the men came to their
death as the result of a collision between
two trains, and did not place the blame
upon anyone.
The railroads investigation was held by
Trainmaster Williams at his office. All
of the crews of the two wrecked trains,
who came away alive, were present, and
gave their testimony. Nothing was de-
veloped in addition to what has already
been stated. AS expected Engineer Petit
assumed the blame for the wreck, ac-
knowledging that it was caused by his
misunderstanding of a plain order.
Trainmaster Williams did not announce
his decision, but of course the only de-
cision he can make is that holding Petit
responsible This Will necessitate the
engineers discharge from the service Of
the company.

will all also appear before the South Caro-
ma railroad commissioners at Columbia
to-day. The commissioners have express
ed their intention of making a thorough
investigation of the wreck and if anyone
is found culpable, of prosecuting him to
the full extent of the law
A Columbia dispatch to the Morning
News says the South Carolina railroad
commission has begun a rigid investiga-
ton into the cause of the wreck. The
commissioners attended the corners in
uqest at Swansea, and had the assistant
attorney general conduct the examina-
ton of the witnesses.
The testimony showed that Conductor
Taylor of the train which over ran the
meeting point had read his correctly.
and did everything in his power to
stop the train. The engineer who read
Swansea" to be Sweden" told his story.
He said he heard no signals from the rear;
that he read his order all the way through
to be Sweden and did not read
it as it was written-"S wansea"-until
after the crash. The jury rendered YER
dict that the three men killed lost their
lives by a collision and left the matter
there.
All the witnesses were served with pa
pers at once and brought to Columbia on
special train. The commission will
commence rigid investigation this morn
ing. 1t is determined to do something
that will prevent such casualties in the
future. Negligence on the part of a rail-
road employee resulting in the loss of life
is considered murder in South Carolina

FOUGHT OVER A HoODOo.
A Flour Sitter and a Pair of Scis-
sOrs Figure In II.

Margaret and Farm streets corner in
the 'Craw was the scene of a general fight
yesterday afternoon. A dozen negro wo-
men Joined in the melee and the fighting
continued all the way up town, parties of
the belligerents dropping off as they reach
ed several magistrates offices to war
rant the rest. Ten of the bellicose spir-
its were arrested on peace warrants, JUS
tees Naughtin, Goldman and Fitzgerald
reaplng the harvest.
The fight was an outgrowth of case
in the police court in which a sitter and
pair of scissors figured as the implements
of a "hoodoo' doctor that were used in
the divining Of the thief who stole $40. The
scissors had been stuck in the sitter and,
under the spell of the 'hoodoo,' dropped
to the ground as Louise Washingtons
name was mentioned, while adhering most
tenaciously when other, and, consequent
ly, innocent, names were pronounced
This was the only proof that was had
against Louise, her attorney alleged, but
the recorder thought otherwise and turned
her over to the city court.

SUTHERLAND GETS OFF EASY.
The Charge of Bigamy by His First
Wife Likely to BE Dropped.


1t seems very likely that the polygamous
pranks of James NJ. Sutherland will fail to
meet their just deserts, owing to a lack
of prosecution.
The woman to who Sutherland first gave
his name has been the moving spirit in
the steps taken here for the bigamist's
arrest. No great sum of money was re-
quired to conduct the case, but now that
Sutherland is in Montgomery under ar
rest, more funds are required for the pros
ecution and this Mrs. Sutherland claims
IS what deters her from pressing the
charge.
She would have to go to Montgomery
to prosecute on her bigamy charge The
offense having been committed in Ala
bama where he married the second time.
Sutherland would have to be tried there
The other charge Of adultery could be
prosecuted here, but his being brought to
Savannah would entail an expense that
his wife Is unable to bear

cution would not be pushed, so Sutherland
has probably been discharged from GUS

WILL TAKE OVER 10000 NUMBERS

The House Numbering Plan Conn
pIete and the Order for Numbers
Sent In.
The plans for REMEMBERING the city have
been completed and the force engaged in
this work in the office of the commissioner
of public works is busy figuring out just
how many numbers are required and how
many Of each number.
Apparently it will require between L, 900
and 1900 numbers for the whole CITY,
There are not that many houses but
many have two or more numbers, this be-
ing the case with business blocks and
with residences which have basement
with street door, separate numbers being
given to the basement door and the main
door.
Commissioner Willnk has contracted
with the National Enameling Works of
Cincinnati, O., to furnish the number of
plates at the rate of 9 cents for each plate
furnished. The plate selected is porcelain
enamel on a copper base with black let
ters on a white background, the letters
being about one and a half inches high.
The work of figuring out what numbers
are wanted and how many of each is about
finished and the order will probably be for
warded to-day. 1t will take two or three
weeks to III the order probably. On the
arrival of the numbers the work of plac-
ing them on tle houses will begin at once
The whole city has been plated and the
number of numbers required in each block
noted in their proper order. The same plats
will be used in placing the numbers. BY
Christmas it is likely that the new system
of numbering will be in force and the peo-
pie will begin to accustom themselves to
dividing the streets east and west.

TO DIVIDE THE FUND EQUALLY.
The Relief Committee to Send Out
It's Contributions To-day.

It's Contributions To-day.
The relief committee, which has been
collecting funds for distribution among
the sufferers of the recent storm, met
yesterday afternoon and decided upon d
plan Of distribution. 1t was found that
a total of 81 $50 in cash and about $3.50
in supplies had been secured. OF this
amount $100 in cash and about 500 worth
of nails have already been forwarded.
A number of letters received from va
rious points in the storm district were
read and the claims of the several places
considered 1t was decided. after some
discussion, to divide the relief obtained
among the following principal points:
Gainesville, Fort White, Cedar Keys
Bradford, Lake City, Macclenny, Lake
Butler, Hillard in Florida, and Folkston,
Ga. All of these are distributing points
for large districts, 1t was decided to
make a practically equal distribution be-
tween the points named.
The question Of sending cash contribu-
tions or supplies was discussed, and it
was decided that 1t would be better to
invest nearly the entire fund in supplies
purchased here. AS the supplies can
be purchased much cheaper here than
at these smaller points, and as the rail-
roads have offered to transport all such
contributions free of charge it was de-
cided that the money could be invested
much more advantageously here.
1t was also suggested that points far
Their north had doubtless sent their con-
tributions in cash. The money will be
invested in bacon, -four meal, rice, coffee,
nails and paper bags There are also 80
pairs of blankets and % pairs of trousers
contributed by merchants, which will be
sent out. The supplies Will be purchased
to-day and forwarded at once, being di-
rected to the chairman of she relief
committee in the several towns named.
