1t is stated that if we should adopt
free silver coinage it would take con-
siderable time to initiate the currency
with sufficient silver to disturb prices
because the capacity of the mint is
not unlimited. But this is fallacy,
says the Commercial Review. If
the free silver party should win the
silver act would unquestionably be
accompanied by clause authorizing
the treasury to issue silver certificates
on the deposit of bullion. The re.
suit as respects the currency would
be precisely the same as if actual
silver dollars had been issued. The
silver party is well aware of the diff
Guilty of circulating actual silver
dollars, and the expediency of using
the certificate in place OF the silver
dollar has been demonstrated by our
experience with the Bland dollars.

CARE OF THE COxvIoTs.
The Pardon Committee Finds COndi-
lions Much improved.

Atlanta, Ca, Jan. Pit is evident, from
a report made to Gov. Atkinson by the
pardon committee of the legislature, that
the recent sensational charges against
the management of the state convicts
by the legislative committee that visited
the camps have born fruit, or else the
legislative committee overdrew the pic
ture of suffering. starving convicts which
they presented to the legislature.
When the pardon committee left for
the camps in North Georgia on Mon
day, Gov. Atkinson requested the men,
beers to note the treatment of convicts,
etc, with a view of making an unOffi-
cial report to him, to guide the state in
the forthcoming investigation of the
1t was not within the province of the
committee to go into an investigation,
but the members kept their eyes and
ears open while visiting the camps at
Rising Fawn and Cole City, two of those
that were the most severely denounced
by the legislative committee
One of the members of the committee
that made the legislative report that de-
scribed the convicts as being inhumanly
treated and actually starved to death
was Mr. Dawson of Greene county. Mr..
Dawson is a member of the pardon COM
mittee also and was with the commit
tee when the camps were visited this
week. In the report made to-day, Mr..
Dawson agreed with all the other MEM
bers in pronouncing the condition of both
camps excellent. The food was all found
good and plenty of it, the committee be-
ing unable to And anything to censure.
1t is claimed that the attack on the
penitentiary was made for the purpose
of political capital and those who take
this view of it declare that it will be
so demonstrated when the general in
vestigation occurs next month.
Harry Hills friends have begun to work
on the pardon committee to secure his
release, since both Gov. Northen and Gov.
Atkinson has denied it. Solicitor General
Hill, who prosecuted the festive Harry
and landed him in the penitentiary, and
Attorney T. W. Rucker, who defended
him, have both been before the commit
tee in secret session to make their ar
guments. The committee has not, how
ever. made any recommendation to the
governor yet but will pay Harry a per-

"DOC" HOLIDAY.
He Was Born and Reared in the City
of ValdOsta.

Valdosta, Ca, Jan. 22.-The article in
the Morning News Sunday about Doc"
Holidays ways was read with interest
here. This is the home and early tramp
lug ground of the same Doc Holli-
day referred to in the article.
John Holiday was the son of Maj H.
B. Holiday, a confederate soldier of great
gallantry, and a brave follower of Gen.
Henry r. Jackson in the Mexican war. He
was reared in this city and received
what education he had at the institute
here. When young man his father sent
him to a dental institute in Philadelphia,
and upon his return he decided to go
west and grow up with the country. The
fact that he was dentist is the reason
he was given the nickname of Doc"
The story, as told in the Morning News
Sunday. is said by those who knew DOC"
to have been very much like him so far
as his traits of character were pictured.
As a boy here, he was mischievous, but
not mean; he was polite, gOod-natured,
well reared, but firm and brave. He
never receded from any position taken
by him. He was slow, but sure, and
when the pinch came he was ready for
the last inch. He was never a bandit
and 1t is probable that he never killed
a man without giving him an equal
chance.
After settling in the west he was called
upon by the authorities there to aid in
arresting some desperate characters. In
trying to effect the arrest DOC" shot
deputized> often to this kind of work,
and, as the country was new and filled
with a rough element, desperate encoun-
tiers would ensue, in which Holiday usu-
ally managed to get out without
Scratch. His appointment as a govern
ment marshal Increased his duties as
an arresting officer and brought him in
more constant contact with the outlaws
of the section. He usually went where
danger 'lurked, and the tragedies that
followed him were made more prominent
from the fact that he was never in
jured.
Holiday visited this city several times
while he was enjoying the national repu-
tation of imam killer" end was always
greeted cordially by his old friends and
associates.
His father, Maj Holiday, died in this
city three years ago, and was buried in
our city cemetery.

Fitzgerald. Ca Jan. 22.-As already
stated in these dispatches, the Georgia

and Western railroad, and a construction
train was put on to-day to complete the
road to this place. 1t will enter the town
on the north, and run to the east end of

located. An agent at Fitzgerald now
quotes rates for passengers and freights,
and is already kept busy sending tracers,
giving rates and answering letters OF in
The Tiff road is also being pushed to
FITZGERALD as rapidly as men and money
can do it, Three hundred men are now at
work grading the road, and more will
soon be put on to work from this end.
1t is probable that the two roads will
erect an elegant union depot at the end
of Central street.
All arrangements have been made to
abandon "shacktown" before the first of
February. The order has been issued
that everything must be taken away
at that time, and many have already
moved or are moving. The colony build

will be erected on Ocmulgee, between
