GOLD AND SILVER AND HONOR.

Because a newspaper or an indl- yidual advocates the return to silver as one of the moneys of final redemp- lion. it is senseless to charge repudia- tfon or intimate that there is thereby a desire to meet obligations for any thing less than one hundred honest cents.
 The fact is that many of both sides are actuated somewhat by personal interests, mixed to a certain degree, however, with sentiments of patriot ism. Y
 Many who favor the gold standard do so because they regard the gold standard as conducive to their business interests. In addition to this some of them doubtless are honest in the belief that the National honor is at stake. If this latter opinion were shared in by the people generally the silver agita- ton could not have reached the mag nitude it has.
 The silver men hold to a belief that a bimetallic standard will be best for everybody in the country except few dealers in money. This belief is shared by a large class of citizens who do not feel any great personal interest in the controversy beyond a patriotic desire for the greatest good to the greatest number, and do not believe that there is any dishonor or danger to the Ma tional credit in a movement to pay our debts in the money contemplated in the contract
 All government obligations are made explicitly payable in coin, not gold. When these obligations were incurred coin meant both gold and silver and the holders of them have no right to expect or demand payment in but one metal and that one of the govern ments own choosing
 It has little effect on the people to tell them that silver has depreciated and is no longer as good money as gold They know, too well, that this seem ing depreciation is brought about by the very class that is now using it to further their own ends, which are to obtain payment in kind of money ren- dered more valuable by being made the only kind of redemption money in ex- fstence. AS long as silver was re- demption money there was no objection on the part of the government or any body else to paying in gold But gold was not demanded then, unless on the score of convenience, for it was no more valuable as a purchasing agent than silver was It was then impossible to force an issue of govern ment bonds and there was no incentive to present government notes for re demption.
 Silver men realize that if the golG standard be maintained further in. crease of the National debt is inevi table, and that it may finally lead tt bankruptcy; therefore they are opposed to it both as taxpayers and as patrioti, citizens. Dealers in money do not fee the same interest in the country's vel fare, because their possessions beins in portable form they can easily talk, them elsewhere when this country nt longer presents profitable field fo

 Byron used a great deal of hair dressing, but was very particular to have only the best to be found in the market. If Ayers Hair Vigor had been obtainable then, doubtless he would have tested it's merits as so many distinguished and fashionable people are doing nowadays.
 To restore gray hair to its natural color as in youth, cause it to grow abundant and strong, there is no bet ter preparation than Halls Hair Re- newer.
 Ayers Hair Vigor is a universal beautifer. Harmless, effective, and agreeable, it has taken high rank among toilet articles. This prepara- tion causes thin and weak hair to be- come abundant, strong and healthy, and restores to gray hair its original color.
 Some people are constantly troubled with pimples and boils, especially about the face and neck. The best remedy is a thorough course of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which expels all humors through the proper channels, and so makes the skin become soft, healthy, and fair

Williams News: There is no use beating around the bush. The ques- tion this fall is the financial question; no tariff or straddle will go.

Some fellow is bound to hold four aces and that generally settles the deal.

SENSATION AT MONTGOMERY
Caused by the Departure Of officials from the
Old Way of Selecting Elec-
tion Officers.

Montgomery, Oct. 5.-(Special)-A big
sensation has been created here by the
announcement that Probate Judge Gas
ton and Sheriff Parks had departed from
the old way of selecting election officers.
Ever since the days of reconstruction the
county officers have chosen election offi-
GERS from list furnished by the demo-
cratic executive committee of the county.
The opposing parties were given repre-
sentation, but the management of the
election was left with white democrats
recommended. The practice, while not
perhaps quite equitable, was deemed ad-
visable by all white men here except a
sprinkling of office-seeking republicans.
When 1t is remembered that the negro
voters of the county outnumber the white
voters more than three to two, the rea-
son for caution in the management of
elections Is apparent.
2 The appointing board was recently pre-
sented with four sets of candidates for
election officers The democrats present.
ed one, the republicans another, the pop
ulists another ard the boilers a fourth.
The three last named parties had evil
IDENTIFY caucused and combined issues.
Their list of nominees came in In about
this fashion: Republican, John Smith
and Jim Jones; nationals, Jim Jones and
Joe Brown; populists, Joe Brown and
John Smith. In other words, the lists
contained practically the same names. A
number or national democrats were
named by Mark Chapman, the negro
chairman of the republican party's COM
mittee. Judge CASTOR and Sheriff Parks,
in selecting the election officers, evidently
had reference to all four of the lists. This
may be equitable but it is not altogether
agreeable to the white democrats of the
county.
Circuit Clerk David Johnston, who is
the third member of the board, declined
to indorse the appointment made by his
colleague He considered that the old
precedent should not be departed from.
Democrats here are very sensitive over
the question of white supremacy in poll
tics. The official ballot in this state will
contain forty-five names for electors.
They will appear alphabetically. Under
the Alabama election law a man must
make out his ballot in a, private booth al
the polling place, and can receive no as
sistance unless he cannot read

j. S. BOWLING,
j. r. BARNES,

Advices from remote points are now ar
riving and tell the same story Of death
and destruction. A special from Old
Town, Lafayette county says: The
storm last Tuesday was the worst ever
seen in this section. 1t ragged from Z
o'clock to a. IN. Nearly every dwelling
house in the neighborhood was blown

toms.
The crew of the steamer c. D. Owens
are TO leave tonight on their way home to
Branford. They report the steamer
wrecked In the lower part of the river
and that the steamer Belle of Suwannee
is also wrecked near the mouth. The
Belle was used for towing log RATS into
Cedar Keys from the SuWannee. The
wreck Of these two steamers will be a
great misfortune to the people on the
river, as they were the only boats on the
river. hence it leaves this entire section
without any transportation whatever.

THE DEATH LIST GROWING
BAKER COUNTY THE

Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 5.-Every report
in regard to the storm increases the
death list and the estimate of the prop
erty lost. The condition of the people in
the storm district is appalling, and there
is urgent need of aid to prevent starya-
ton.
Advces from Baker say While the
suffering in Baker county is great from
the effects Of the storm, the damage Is
also very great. 1t is estimated that the
total loss aggregates some $250,00
Sanderson's loss will reach fully 5000,
of which George P. Canova, one of the
leading merchants, is damaged fully $15,-
900, and Mrs. McPons $4,000 to $40, 900
Aluste's loss is about $4,000, of which
the Eppinger- Russell company lose about
$4,000
John Villas loss is about $6000O of
which the turpentine men lose In the
neighborhood of $25 600.
McClenny's loss is about $50, 600.
The balance Is distributed among the
farmers.
The above does not include the loss of
cattle, which cannot be estimated until
spring, Baker county being a large cattle
raising section. In consequence of the
above losses the county commissioners
have issued the following appeal, which
explains itself:
To His Excellency, Hon. Henry L. Mitch
ell, Governor of the State of Florida:
The board of county commissioners in
regular session, do respectfully petition
your excellency in his good Judgment to
devise some means to assist the suffering
people of this (Bakep county in their sad
affliction caused by the storm of last
Tuesday. The people are in destitute cir
cumstances, without shelter to cover
their heads, without food to appease
their hunger, and great many are with
out change Of clothing. We would sug-
gest to your excellency that an earnest
call to uninured counties to come to our
aid, or IL necessary a call for an extra
session of the legislature would he of
great moment But one gin house stands
in the county; every church and school
house Is destroyed, and the merchants,
who are heavy losers, are unable to COM
tribute to the distressed. Most all the
farmers in the county have lost their cot
ton crops, just housed and ready for mar
ket and as a consequence are unable to
pay the merchants for advances and fer
tilizers furnished and even to purchase
food for their suffering ones. We sug-
gest that contributions be sent to the
clerk of the board Of county commissions
