Bryan on Dollar Whe at.

rise in price should be followed by a
rise of wages. Mr.. Bryan says that
the joy over the increase OF money
from wheat is evidence that we have
too little money; that if the farmers
are benefited by the rise in one OF
their products, how much better would
it be if the rise was universal; that the
price of wheat i'll fall when the for
eign demand becomes normal and
that the present spasmodic rise will
aid rather than injure the cause Of

Bank OF Eogland for FREQ Silver.


At the semi,annual meeting of the
Bank of England held in Sanden
Thursday the governor, Hugh 9.
Smith, said:
"You are probably ware of the pro
posals laid before the government in
the summer by the United Safes and
France, whereby this country might
increase its use of silver, as a contribu
tion to sn international agreement
which, while not affecting our gold
standard, might enab the mints of
France and America to resume free
coinage. Among the proposals was
one asking the bank to hold the
amount of silver permissible under
the act of 1874 as against its ne tes."
The governor then read a letter,
dated July 90, addressed to the chan
cellor of the exchequer, Sir Michael
Hicks Beach. |; was as follows:
Referring to our conversation, we
beg to say the bank is prepared to car.
ry out what is laid down as permissible
in the bank charter, viz: 70 no. / one.
fifth of the bullion; held against its
note issue, in silver, provided always
that the French mint is again open to
the free coinage of silver, and that the
price at which silver is procurable and
salable are satisfactory"
Replying to the questions, the COVER
nor said the bank had no negotiations
with the United States monetary com
missioners, adding:
I'VE have bought no silver. All
we have done is to agree, under Ger
tain conditions, 10 carry out what is
permissible under the act of 1874"

preachers OF that denomination in the

allows 10 cents a meal for breakfast,

that figured out the average salary OF

on the thread-bare coat of a clergy
man thus situated aud the "actual
misery" it represents. The wonder is
that so many men can keep up even
semi respectable appearance on such
an allowance. If it be urged that
thousands of workingmen support
their families on less than that, We
submit that the fact has nothing to
do with the case." Preachers cannot

for whom preachers work are pre-

TIL. O,arantipe Against Atlanta,

Several southern cities, including
Charleston, Chattanooga, Selma and
Mo ltgomery, have quarantined against
Atlanta. In some quarters the reason
for this &C. OF precaution on the part
of those cities may not be understood.
The quarantine against Atlanta is not
es ablished because the authorities Of
the quarantine cities fear that there is
yellow fever in Atlanta, but because
they believe that the climatic condi-
tions Of that city are such as would be
likely to endanger the health OF the
city by receiving, straight from in
fected sources, those fleeing from the
yellow fever.

but ten minutes after its arrival the
car was shipped out again. just who
is responsible for the fruit coming in
is thus far unknown. Detective John
Hogan was told by the station agent
at Ten Mile Hill that the car had
passed there, Chief Martin was in

ly notified the health department Of

Poatmaster Shot Down.

1. H. Lotion, the negro postmaster
at Hogapsville, Ga., was shot three
times at 9 o'clock Thursday night by
parties unknown and is in precarious
condition, though it is believed the
wounds will not prove fatal. Lotion
had just closed his postoffcs and was
few yards from the door, enroute to
his home, when several parties
emerged from the darkness and began
to fire at him. He ran a few steps and
fell to the ground apparently dead.
Firing then stopped and the would be
murderers dispersed, evidently believ,
ing their victim out OF the way. Lof
ton was subsequently, carried to his
home by his friends and medical aid
was summoned. The people of Ho.
gansville were greatly excited during
the night, and ths occurrence is the
talk today in every section of Troup
and adjoining counties, but no clues
can be gathered as to who did the
shooting or assisted in the attempt to
sssassinate the newly appointed feder-
al official. No person in Hogansville
knows, apparently, and but few seem
to care to know the names of those
guilty OF the crime. Politics led to the
attack. Lotion was appointed aoout
three months ago to the position of
postmaster over the protest of nearly
every white citizen of the tom. Hold.
ing offics under such circumstances
the negro official has displayed sui
len disposition. it is alleged, toward
the whites and made himself gener-
ally Objectionable to the better ele
ment of people who are forced, in the
order of business, to come in contact
with him daily. 1t is further alleged
that complaint was made to the prop
er authorities, but no attention was
paid to it, or had not been at the time
of the shooting. as Lotion had not
changed his conduct towards the citi
zens. A postotfics inspector will ar
rive here tonight or tomorrow morn
ing from Chattanooga and will inves-
tigate the shooting thoroughly. Ro
gansville is fourth class postoffice
on the Atlanta and West Point rail
road in this, Troup county, fifty miles
southeast of Atlanta. 1t has a popu.
lation OF about 500.

SEED CORN FOR THE SOUTH.
DON'T Use Northern CorpIbut Get 1t From
Your Section.

Professor Massey, of North Carroll.
ma, having been consulted as to the
advisabili:y cf procuring seed corn
from the north to plant in the south,
writes the following letter to Home
and Farm. We do not think it adj
visable to get seed corn from the North
for Southern planting. 1t will take
sometime to fully scclimat'ze it, and
you can get better corn suited to your
climate by careful selection at home
from what you already have. If the
corn in your section is 'all run out, !"
it is the fault OF the cuItivatCrs and
not of the climate. The way in which
Fseed corn is usually selected in the
South is enough to run out anything.
The proper way to improve corn for
seed is to make the selection in tie
field. Have a section of the field
planted in the kind of corn you wish
to save for seed and give it the best
OF care aud manuring. deep prepara
ton, but shallow and level cultiva-
ton. As soon as the tassels begin to
show 90 through the piece and cut
out the tassels from every stalk that
does not show an ear coming. Select
for seed vigorous stalks that set two
ears a I'd mark them to stand till per.
fectly mature. Save only the ear
next to the gro und for seed. 1t will
not probably be the finest lookir e ear,
but save it even if it is My nubbir.
If you continually save the top ears
for seed, you increase the tendency
to produce the ear farther and farther
and farther from the ground, and also
increase the tendency to bear but one
ear. By continuous saving of the bot
tom ear you get the corn in the habit
of producing its crop near the ground
aud the habit of bearing two ears.
Plant this selected com the next year
and plant the seed patch with the
same and pursue the same course OF
selection. 1t will take years to pro.
duce striking results, but if you per
severe you will finally get race of
corn that will put money in your
pocket for seed purposes Do not in
your latitude select corn for earliness.
You have plenty OF time to mature the
biggest and the largest, late matu-
ring corn will always bring you
the heaviest crop. Northward corn
has been selected with a view
of earliness. Corn more than any
other grain when VIC know of dis.
likes to be removed far north or south
of its native locality, and, though it
will adapt itself to the changed condl
tions, it takes time to do it, and you
will do better to select from your own
stock. Cat the best corn you can find
in your section to start with, and, my
word for it, if you follow up the plan
proposed you will find that we are
right.

A Good Piono.

& piano is usually purchased but
once in lifetime and hence the great.
est care should be used in its selection.
A good piano will last a lifetime and
give endless enjoyment. A poor
piano will last few years and give
endless veXation.
Read Ludden & Bates clever adver-
tisement in this issue and it will tell
you how to secure the good piano at a
comparatively low figure. Ludden &
Bates have been selling pianos in the
South for over quarter of a century
and it is well known fact that their
advertising statements are conserva
lively made and are alway strictly
lived up to. Those wishing pianos
cannot order from a more reliable
