the momentum of money and credit
But ms commerce increases and its
methods are improved by the inventions
which experience suggests the need Of II
large volume of metallic money dimin-
ishcs, and checks and drafts do more
and more in facilitating exchanges. Thus
today % per cent of the wholesale trade
and about 30 per cent of the retail trade
Of the United States are transacted by
means of these modern tools of exchange.
The more and better the banking facili-
ties of country the less the need of
actual dollars except rs standards and
measures of values. France, with about
half the population of the United States
and less than 600 banks. needs more cir
culntiou per capita, because France uses
less of checks and drafts in mcdiating
exchanges. The circulation of II coun-
try is really the active money plus the
active drafts and checks in use, aud this
country requires less either of gold or sill
yer for its currency than ii did twenty
five years ago.

SORRY THAT THEY SPOKE.
Injunction Suit Against the Cleburne
Herald Takes New Turn.

Clehurne. Tex, Oct. 9.-CSpecial.) The
injunction suits restraining J. Z. Lock
wood from further publishing the Gle.
burne Herald on account of its support of
Mckinley. is stirring up comment. The
republican leaders here give out publicly
that the fusion arranged with the popu-
lists has been instrumental in bringing
about the injunction. Mr.. c. Marshall,
county chairman of the republican eNecu-
tive committee. gives it out that unless
that injunction is dissolved he will use
his influence to see that the republicans
do not support the county ticket and this
is causing the trouble. The republicans
hold the balance of power and things are
mixed. Several populists have been to
Mr.. Marshall today for conference. but
he tells them to dissolve the injunction
and he will Talk To them.

National Educational Association, Buffalo, M
 r., Julv to ii,

The object of this notice is to call your attention to the fact that a special rate of one fare plus $2 for the round trip has been named from all points for the above mentioned meeting
 After consultation with several parties who are in position to know the geogra- phy of the country in such way as to select delightful trip, the Louisville and Nashville railroad has been decided upon as the initial route for those wish ing to attend from Alabama. On account of it's numerous connections at Cincin- nati for Buffalo and Chautauqua Lake it is without a peer for those wishing to avail themselves of a delightful summer outing.
 Another reason for the adoption of the Louisville and Nashville for the use of the visitors from Alabama is the fact of its cutting the state in half and being To- cated so as to be the most convenient of any line for the greatest number of peo- pie.
 More detailed information or any ques- tions as to rates and route beyond Cin- cinnati and stop over privileges at prin- cipal cities will be cheerfully answered by R. F. BEASLEY,
