THE FUTURE PROSPERITY OF
KNOXVILLE

The town Of Uuionvllle at II time
a prosperous little city or more than
eight hundred inhabitants, and a gar
den spot of wealth aud beauty, lies to
day in a state of decay and ruin, and
but few families remain to tell Of the
vast wealth of the mines, which in
days gone by made many a Mackay
and a Flood, but today when the
facilities for mining are far ahead Of
those of twenty years ago, the mines
are left idle and no effort is made to
again bring forth some OF their hid
den treasure by the simpler methods
of the present day.-Silver State.
This is only one instance of the eff
feet of gold rule. When silver was
as low as one dollar an ounce the
town of Candelaria and Belleville, in
Esruerslda county boosted of a popu-
latiou of 1000 people and prosperity
stood at every road and in every little
camp in that section of the State. It
was not until silver was dropped SO
low that it was impossible to longer
mine to a profit that these mining
camps closed down aud today, where
from three to four THOUSAND people
were prosperous and in a splendid
financial condition, there is but a
Waterman for the silent mills and
and assessment work carried OH il
the mines.
Esneralda county is not alone il
this condition, but nearly every
county of the State has felt the
stranglin. hand of the gold powe1
Yet there are some people in this
State who have the over-ripe nerve
to assure the people CT these stricken
camps that their only hope for the
future lies in the G. o, P, that Inter
national monetary conferences vii
settle their difficulty; and that Hanna
and his tribe of money sharks vii
restore them their lost prosperity
Did ever a thief return stolen booty
And if SO vas it not when he wa;
cornered and made to disgorge.
When this State turns its peopl
over to the gold gluttons then BIZ
farewell to any future for the minin,
interests in this neck of the woods.

NATIONAL INSURANCE LAW.
Controller General wright Wants TO
See Ii Defeated.

Atlanta. Ga, Jan. 5.--Controller General
Wright is very much interested in the bill
now before congress to enact a national
insurance law.
The bill. which is in the interest of a
half dozen eastern states, which own nine
tenths of the insurance companies of the
country, would deprive all states of the
right to try insurance companies, an1
practically knock state insurance depart
ments into smithereens.
According to Controller Wright's figures,
the passage of the bill would take away
$4,000 from the income of the state Of
Georgia, while the insurance companies
that pay their amount to the state now
carry out of it in premiums 100000 an
nually. For this reason he hopes to see
the bill killed, and, as a majority Of the
states of the union are in the same boat
with Georgia in this matter, he believes
this will be its fate. The passage of the
bill would mean, he says, saving of mill
lions OF dollars to the insurance compa-
MES, which they now pay to the various
states in taxes.

sHERMAN's SUGGESTIONS.
Wants Seven of His Clerks Excepted
From Civil Service Law.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Secretary of State
Sherman sent to the Senate to-day his re-
spouse to the resolution asking for the
heads of departments for information and
suggestions as to civil service changes in
their respective departments MIR. Sher-
man recommends the exception of heads
of bureaus and the chief clerks of the
state department from the operation of
the law.
Il found" he says in his statement
upon entering my duties as Secretary of
State that the entire clerical force of the
department, including the chief clerk at
$500, and six chiefs of bureaus at $210O
each. were under the civil service law
under a presidential order extending its
operations so as to embrace those officials
MY opinion" he continues, lis that
these seven positions should be excepted
from the laws governing the civil service.
and l so recommend should any changes
of the civil service law be contemplated
These officers should either be appointed
by the President by and with the advice
and consent of the Senate, or the Secre-
tary of State should be- as formerly, act
ing for the President empowered to an
point them.
'Al these officers bear a close personal
relation TO the Secretary of State i'm the
conduct of the departments official BUSH
ness. Ii is through Them and the assist
ant secretaries he Is able to transact his
ordinary duties. and il seems to be the part
of prudence and discretion that they
should be in sympathetic touch with the
head of the department TO insure cooper
alton and harmony of action"
The secretary concludes with the state
ment that he makes no complaint against
the present occupants of these offices. but
he thinks that upon general principals
The secretary's hands should not be tied
"The freedom of action on the part of
the Secretary of State, which should never
have been curtailed," he says would,
believe, promote the public interests ii
would certainly institute in those officers
a desire to render the best possible serv-
ice and thus stimulate the highest en-
deavors to discharge their official duties
in harmony with the wishes of the Sec
rotary of State"

CALVIN ON THE BANKS.
lie TaNOrs Fight in Behalf of state
Banks of Issue.


Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 5.-Hon. Martin V.
Calvin chairman of the state bank com
mission recently appointed by Gov At
l,inson, was in the city to-day. The com
mission, he said, will be called to meet in
Atlanta about the middle OF February
Chairman Calvin thinks the commission
should recommend a bill for state banks
of issue, and provide for making issue
with the federal government on the 10
per cent. tax. lie says the decision Of 1896
was delivered by Salmon p. Chase. the
author of the national bank act and was
necessity of that day. He thinks the
United States supreme court would 1e-
verse it now.
In reference to the work of the bank
commissioner Mr.. Calvin said: There is
misrepresentation in the public mind as
to the duty of the commissioners. They
are to examine the banking laws of this
state, and, incidentally, banking laws
generally, with view to reporting to the
next general assembly bill that will pro-
vide such wholesome regulations as will
afford adequate protection to depositors
and creditors, and encourage the conduct
of the business on a safe and sound basis.
The idea has obtained that the commits
sioners would examine into the condition
of all banks chartered by this state. This,
of course, is an error That work Is ef-
liciently done by our worthy treasurer.
Mr.. j. w. Speer. Speaking for myself
only, not having had an opportunity to
confer with any member of the commits
sion, / am confident that the commission
will outline a policy that will prove to
be of great value to the people and to
the banks. My own view Is that protec-
ton for depositors is not the only thing
to be considered in framing a law on
banking. The banks themselves need to
he protected. In other words, the law,
while extending the fullest protection to
the people, should be so just and fair as
to encourage the conduct of the banking
business on a safe and sound basis"

Man Claiming to BE "A Brother OF

a lawyer and newspaper man. Il don't re-
member taking that overcoat" he said.
Il was drinking with a man on the morn
ing of the 9th, a Christmas lark, you
know. There must have been something
the matter with the whisky. Anyway, |
lost consciousness, and when l woke up
l was in jail with another mans overcoat
on. l can't say l didn't steal the coat,
for witnesses swear that l did, but | am
sure l wouldn't have taken it for the
world If l had known what / was about. ="
He said his family would Willingly pay
his fine, but he would prefer TO serve his
term in the chain-gang rather than have
them know of his disgrace.
This will break my old fathers heart"
he said
Judge Reid imposed sentence of two
months in the chain-gang, but on the APP
peal of several young lawyers who knew
him and who sympa thized with the young
man. the sentence was reduced TO fifteen
days in the county jail.
Whitfield came to Atlanta several weeks
ago from his home in Florida, and de-
meaned himself well until the time when
he says he lost control of himself and
committed the crime for which he had to
answer to-day The stolen coat was the

LUMBER MEN TO FIGHT.
Differences With the Railroads to
Go Before the COmmissiOn.


Go Before the COmmissiOn.
Atlanta Ga, Jan. Sit appears that
the differences between the Georgia Ium-
Der manufacturers and the railroad COM
panies over the new rules for loading
lumbr have reached crisis. The attempt
to adjust the matter amicably has failed.
and the lumber manufacturers will carry
the question to the railroad commission Of
Georgia, and eventually to the interstate
commerce commission. AT yesterdays
meeting, which broke up without com
ing anywhere near an agreement, though
the mill men signifed a willingness to
have the rate raised if the loading rules
were modified to meet their views. The
mill men presented their demands. These
were that the railroad pay for 400 feet Of
lumber used in equipping cars under the
new rules, allow 1880 pounds for the
weight of the extra fixtures and pay for
carpenter and blacksmith work in putting
on the space blocks required between cars
The railroad men refused to accede to
these demands, and the sawmill men an
nounced that they would not comply with
the rules. They win load cars as mere
tofore. and tender them to the railroads
for shipment. If the roads decline to re-
ceive the lumber cars in that shape, the
mill men viii make a test case before the
railroad commission of Georgia, and ask
il to carry the complaint before the in
terstate commerce commission, taking the
case there in the name of the state as pro-
Vidad bV law
