AN ATROCIOUS CRIME.

Nashville, Tenn, Dec. "a special
to the Sun, from Decaturville, says:
Late Thursday evening a race riot
was impending near Sugar Hill, Perry
county, when Geo. Evans and Chas.
Puck, two respected citizens, endeav-
ored to avert bloodshed. They went
over to the negro stronghold to pla-
cate them and were both Drained with
an axe. The whole country is now in
arms searching for the murderers,
who will certainly be hanged without
legal trial if caught.

had been robbed. Then she went to
police headquarters and told her sto-
~. Some of the things she told she
knew to be facts; other parts she real
ly believed, although they were pure
ly imaginary. Anyway, the police
agreed that she had been robbed, and
proceeded to look for the watch and
the thieves who stole it.
For nearly week the young wom-
an mourned the loss of her watch;
going each day to the Four courts
to inquire if there was any news Of
her jewel. There was none, but. as is
customary with detectives, they had
a clew, and promised to have the
thieves and their booty in a few days.
Que evening last week she went to
her dresser for a freshly laundried
robe-de-nuit.
From the top drawer of the dresser
she took the garment tenderly, admir-
ing the lace with which the bosom
was embellished and mentally COM
menting on the poor manner in which
it had been ironed. AS she unfolded
the filmly thing she noticed an unusu-
al weightiness about it, and on inves-
tigating she found that something
hard and heavy was concealed in one
of the wristbands. Further investi-
CATION revealed the lost watch.
So great was the joy Of the young
woman at recovering her lost treasure
that she rushed downstairs to ac-
quaint her sister with her find. The
sister at the time was entertaining a
young man, but the young woman, in
her joy over finding the watch, rush
ed into the parlor before she realiz ed
that she was not in presentable con-
dition for the company of men.
When the CONSERVATION of the party
had in manner subsidized, they sought
an explanation of the curious hiding
of the watch.
The only solution at all plausible
was that the young woman, who, when
a child, had been known as a sonam-
bulist, had suffered a return of her old
maldy and while asleep had hidden
her watch so well that it could not be
found, except by accident.
1t may be modesty, or it may be
simply a Discrimination to admit that
she is a sleep walker, anyway the
young woman has refused to make
known to the police that her watch
had been found, and now she is dread
ing being called upon to identify some
one as the thief of something that was
never stolen, for it is reasonably GER
tain that if the police do not take the
tip from this they will follow up this
watch case until some one is arrested.

SHE WAS A SONAMBULIsT.

The detectives of this city have
been searching the pawnshops for the
last two weeks for a valuable gold
watch, and this will be the first init
nation they have had that the time
piece has been recovered.
The watch belongs to a young wom-
in Cabanne, and is costly one, but
is priced especially because it was
presented to her by her mother
as reward for some particular thing
done or left undone, but that has moth
ing to do with the story.
One day about two weeks ago the
young woman startled her family by
announcing that she had lost her
watch. She thought at first that it
had dropped out Of its usual place of
concealment. but later on, when her
family had questioned her and coach
ed her little, she concluded that she

The Atlanta constitution. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1885-19??, 1896-12-28

While. il might elicit some difference
of opinion to say that national debt
is an evidence of progress 1t is never
theleSS a fact that some of the most pro-
gressive nations on the globe are bur
dened with heavy national obligations.
In round numbers The Pail Mall Ca
zette estimates the present national debt
of the world at $50, O00,OO0,O00, in federal
money. as opposed to SO, 100 100000
in 1879. During the last twenty years
England. Germany and the United
States have considerably reduced their
Indebtedness, and yet within the same
period of time. the worlds aggregate
debt has increased 81, 100000.
France is at present the heaviest debt
or nation. In 1870 the national debt OF
France was only S4,5O0.O00.00O. while in
1893 it had climbed TO S6,0000O0,0OO. Al
though reduced somewhat the national
debt of England is $3.3O0,000,0OO, Rus
sia's debt has been steadily increasing
for several years. and while the exact
figures cannot be given, she ranks fourth
among European powers with respect
to the burden which she carries.
SPANS indebtedness in 1919 was
81. SO. 100000. and although she had sue
ceeded in reducing this amount up TO
1898. she has since incurred obligations
which will increase 1t to something
like S2.j00OOO.OOO Like England, Ger
many has reduced her national debt. In
1910. it was q, OO0, O0O. 900. whereas in1S95
it was only S420,OGO,00O. Austria-Hun-
gary. without evident reason. except to
establish a secure military strength, has
been rapidly increasing its national
debt, while italy, Brazil and Australia
have likewise borrowed heavily within
the last few years. The Turkish empire
has incurred a very heavy debt within
the last quarter OF a century. and is
making no effort TO reduce it.
From these figures it viii be observed
that the world is heavily in debt. Some
OF these obligations have been contract
cd for the purpose of carrying on mill
tarv operationT, while others have been
a assumed for tie purpose of making in
ternal improvements. They show that
while nations may be self-sustaining to
o. very large extent, they are also mu-

a.Ioftv Considerations

The Springfield Republican is very
able paper. but Il anybody were to
send us word that it is also a very
queer paper we should have IA
grounds on which to dispute the as
seTtiOn.
For instance, The Republican discov-
ering that Mr.. Carlisle is violating
the law in the most high-handed man
ner. remarks tnat the fact VIII have
to be admitted and says that the tenn
per of an agent is as well indicated
in small as in large things" Where
upon it consoles itself with the re1ec-
lion that this administration has
been animated in all acts by lofty
considerations Of the public welfare"
This is a terrible excuse to give for
a plain infracti0n Of the law, and men
ton of the matter reminds Us that
lofty considerations of the public
welfare" could be given for any con
ceivable crime that an administration
might find it profitable to commit
There is law which says that the
obligations OF the government are
pavable iii coin Mr.. Cleveland vio-
lates this law aud says they are pay
able in gold alone.
There is law which directs the
secretary OF the treasury 10 receive de-
posts of gold coin and issue cerdh-
Gates therefor. and this issue Of GER
uhcates is only 10 be suspended when
the gold reserve falls below the $780,
100000 mark.
Bur 1Ir. Carlisle now refuses to
carry out the law although the stat
uie leaves him no discretion in the
matter. and The Republican says, in
effect. that the main reason why Mt.
