EMIGRANT AGENT ARRESTED.
"PEGLEG" WILLIAMS TAKEN To
MADISON FOR SAFETY.

Farmers Were Mad and Threatened
to Deal With Him HarshIy-He Has
Sent $500 Negroes Away From
Morgan and Greene Counties in the
Last Six Weeks-Many Farmers
Were without Help and Their
Fields Were Going to Grass.
Madison, Ga, Jan. 14-W. A. Williams
the emigrant agent who during the past
six weeks, has sent $500 negroes out of
Greene and Morgan counties into Missis-

of safety, mob of farmers having
threatened his life at Greensboro Satur-
day afternoon.
Williams, who is known all over the
South as "Pegleg" Williams, has been in
this county this time several days. He had
engaged number of negroes to leave
Greensboro Saturday night for the West,
and was there arranging for their depart
ure. The negroes have been leaving the
farmers in large numbers of late and many
of them are entirely without help In
many cases farmers have been compelled
to let their fields go TO grass and their in
terests have been seriously affected.
Most of these negroes were troopers,
who rarely paid out and took little care
of the land. Their exodus, together with
the unusually large grain acreage, will
materially reduce the cotton acreage for
the present year, perhaps from 20 to % per
cent.

was arrested on the charge of violating a
county ordinance by interfering with con-
tract labor, and taken to jail. The farm

threa tening, and the news of the arrest
spread along the line of the Georgia Rail
road.

mob of farmers was coming up from Cow
ington to help deal with Williams, and
the sheriff decided to remove the offender
This was done, Williams being landed in
jail here.
Williams attorney, Col Davidson ac-
companied him to Madison and consulted
to-day with the authorities of this coun-
ty. 1t was decided to draw up an agree
ment to the effect that Williams would in
future desist from soliciting emigrants
along the line of the Georgia Railroad
and this, it is understood, Williams will
sign. His preliminary hearing will be had
tomorrow morning. If he does not sign
the agreement, it is expected that he will
give bond

MONEY AND CREDIT
Both Are Equally Essential to
 Prosperity.
The Latter Must Be Based Upon the Former Which Must Be Firm and Stable and of an Intrinsic Value.

New York, Aug. -(SpeciaD. D.-The recent utterances of a well known Wall street operator, anent the financial and commercial conditions in the United States. disclose a fOrgetfulness of the real function of money in relation to trade. The great majority of busi- ness transactions are carried on upon a system of credit for which a founda- ton must be first provided, that shall be of unquestioned and unqueStionable strength. Such a firm basis is gold, the most precious available metal. which has by common consent of the most advanced nations, been recognized as the unit of value The enormous growth in the material wealth of the world has wonderfully stimulated its production. so that in the past four years it's out put has reached the great total of S1 000. .000. 900 in value. But this great sum means more than the stated figures; it implies an extension of the worlds credits by five times that amount Of this addition of gold to the worlds supply the United States has. through both production and trade 
 share. Our treasury gold balance is now in excess of $4OO, ,O00 000-the great
 est in our history. We have thus. in connection with the bank accumula- tions throughout the country. a broad foundation for our rapidly increasing commerce-an ample basis for solid credit. Why. in the face of this ac- tuality. any desire should exist in any part of the country to adopt a cheaper metal as a basis of values. is hard to understand. Silver is the cry. why not copper or iron. or even paper? It re- quires no penetration to discern the enormous shrinkage of credits Ghe very life of trade). which must neces- sarily follow any debasement of the currency. Among the minimizing ad
 vocates of a silver standard an inn pression seems to obtain that in con- sequence of this proposed cheapening of the money of the country which would flood us with the Outpourings of other nations, they would likely be able to get a supply of it without giv- ing in exchange the necessary labor upon which rests all wealth in what ever form. The day laborer. the trades man and the merchant are all work ingmen, their labor varying only in degree and in return for their services the best money, that which will pur- chase the most, is none too good. They are entitled to payment in money of the highest intrinsic worth. which at the present stage of human development is gold. The future may substitute something better, but the best now is gold. It rests largely with the indi
 vidual how much of it or it's equivalent he shall receive. Good hard work will accomplish great things: it is a trite and still true saying that there is ai- ways room at the top. No matter in what sphere of human endeavor, solid
