FLOOD OF SILVER DOLLARS

STATE TREASURER SHOWERS HAS
OVER Sl000DO ON HAND
Clarion Ledger.
Piled up ~ the vault at the State
treasury is a huge stack of canvas
sacks which contain over 100000 in
Uncle Sans nig, nice, bright and
round silver dollars.
The treasury is swamped with sill.
yer. For the past three weeks it has
been pouring in in a steady stream
and Mr.. Showers and his assistants are
overwhelmed with the flood Of this l6
To / cash The storage capacity Of
the vault has almost reached the
limit, and the pile Of canvas bags is so
high that the cashier enters with
some timidty, fearing that the huge
pile might Jopple over and crush him
with its weight. TO the average per-
son unfamiliar with money in large
quantities this might appeal as a
somewhat pleasant death, as it is not
everybody who can be buried in silver.
but the prospect is by no means pleas
ant to Capt. Raiford, the cashier, and
he is now formulating a plan to brace
the stack so as to prevent such an oc-
currence,
How long the food OF silver will con-
tinue is impossible to tell At present
IL shows no signs nf abatement. The
express wagons drive up to the State
house two or three times each day and
the expressmen hustle the canvas
sacks to the treasury, glad to be re-
lievcd Of their responsible burden.
Then the cashier heaves weary sigh
and secures The services of the negro
porter to assist him in tossing the
new arrivals to the top of the stack.
Most of the money is comparatively
new, and it is being sent in from the
various banks who transact the busi-
ness Of the sheriffs in making their
settlements with the State. The
banking institutions take this oppor-
tunity Of unloading their surplus sill
yer On the State and in defence Of the
action say it Is being unlOaded on
them by the mint at New Orleans, the
latter institution being deslrous of
getting IL into circulation.
The pile of silver dollars in the
treasury vault is Il very imposing sight
TO the novicc in financial matters, and
The novice is surprised at the space
necessary to hold 100000 in silver
currency. 1t is contained In some
thug over 100 sacks, and the average
weight Of sack is about 65 pounds.
TINS WOnld make il total weight Of
$500 pounds, or more than two wagons
with stout teams attached would be
able to pull, especially II the pulling
was to he performed on the streets of
Jackson during tile present weather.
The width If a dollar Is about One
and one fourth inches. and the pile in
the treasury, If laid side by side, would
reach over dtstiicc of nearly tive
miles Stacked on top OF each other
the pile would extend over 800 yards
in the air.
The treasury vaults now contain Q
species Of currency rarely seen in the
South. or any other part Of the cOun
try. for Sthat matter Snugly en-
sconscd in a plain envelop in the burg
