Refunding Plan Aids.

Secretary Shaw's latest refunding
scheme is thought to be responsible
for the extraordinary expansion of
bank circulation The last official
statement regarding the operations of
the refunding order showed that three
and four per cent. bonds With a par
value of nearly sos. 900, 900 had been ex-
changed for two per cent. bonds of the
series of 1880. Tt is obvious that the
banks have participated in the refund
ing to an enormous extent because the
banks are sending the two per cents. to

Washington, May 21.-The circula-

ever before achieved. and is still climb
ing i'll most remarkable manner. The
bureau of engraving and printing is
turning out bank notes as fast as an

1t requires about 25 days to prepare
new money so that it will be properly
seasoned to go into the hands of pa
irons OF national banks. The director
of the bureau of printing and engrav-

figures, admits that he has on hand
orders for many millions of dollars
worth of currency. He is supplying the
finished product of the presses to the
comptroler's office as rapidly as he
can. but he cannot keep pace with the
demand of the banks. They want the
new currency without delay.
Circulation Outstanding.
The amount of bank circulation out
standing at the close of business Tues
day night was $400.041. 7O5. December
81 of last year it was 1884 1929. 7s4. and
that was considered very high figure.
The banks had taken some pains dur

their circulation. and when they at

they thought they had done their full

sMOSES-OVERSTREET
WAR OF WORDS.
Session of Special Lobbying Committee Is
Enlivened by Observation-Disclosures Was
Given for Meeting on Outside.

Atlanta, Ga, August 6.-The
lobby investigation COM
mittee had real sensation yes
terday afternoon, but it was short
lived. Mr.. Moses, of Coweta,
started to express his views of
Mr.. Overstreet, of Screven, and
there was a wordy war which
covered thespace of a few seconds
during which Mr.. Overstreet in
vlted Mr.. Moses to step outside
OF the committe room, and then
everybody Gained down.
For these few seconds, how
ever, the air was full of fight.
Mr.. Moses was one of the early
witnesses. Mr.. Overstreet is
taking prominent part in the
conduct of the investigation. The
committee, in it's desire to give
the broadcast latitude to the inves-
tigation with view to disclosing
anything that can possibly be
open to criticism, has extended
to Mr.. Overstreet the privilege
of asking such questions of wit
nesses as he may choose. He
exercises this privilege with al
most every witness. While Mr..
Moses was being questioned by
Mr.. Slaton, Mr.. Overstreet was
in close consultation with the
questioner, evidently prompting
him. This seemed to give dis
pleasure to Mr.. Moses. He had
been asked if certain men had
not said to him that if the uni
formity textbook bill passed they
would lose their jobs, this being
for the purpose of influencing his
vote.
He said no man had said this
to him, but he had himself ex-
pressed the opinion that some
would lose their positions if the
bill passed.

IRWIN COUNTY COTTON MILLS
The Debts Are Paid and a
Reorganization Proposed.

The Board of Directors of the
Irwin County Cotton Mills held
! an important meeting yesterdy
at which it was decided to call a
meeting of the stock holders
TUESDAY, Sept. 9th.
When the cotton factory was
built and equippedit was realized
that between $4,000 and $4,000
the difference between the capital
stock and the cost of the property
must be provided for. The ex-
ecutive board have. succeeded in
delaying the day of reconing for
more than a year, in that time
the mill has failed to make money
as almost all cotton mills have,
attributable to tbeincreasingIcest
of the raw material. Although
handled by novices it is not
charged that the mill has been
mismanaged. The entire plant
and machinery is in excellent con-
dition and running every day.
The indebtedness of the COM
pany has been paid by local stock
holders and friends of the mill,
the Garbutt Lumber Co., and
it now becomes the duty of the
stock holders to settle with these
gentlemen who have used $4,000
to keep the property out of the
courts, which every body recog-
nized would have been disastrous
to the property.
For that purpose a meeting of
the stockholders will be held at
the Armory, over the Phenix
Grocery Company, in this city
September 9Th, as per formal
call in another column.

Connecting Two New Lines.

connecting Two new Lines.
A force of hands has begun
work grading the connection for
the Triton, Thomasville and Gulf
and Triton and Northeastern
tracks.
The new grade will leave the
main line of the Triton and North
eastern at a point north Of the
cotton factory and run east of
the ginnery, through the south
east part of the mill quarter
cross the Atlantic Coast Line
and the Georgia Southern just
outside their yards and join the
Triton, Townsville and Gulf at
a point south Of the Codington
Lumber Co.
The new route makes almost
a direct line between the two
roads, and will materially lessen
the distance.
Whether the Atlantic and
Birmingham will come into the
union depot is still an open ques-
ton, and it is. probable they will
not unless good Inducements ara
offered.
It's understood that they pro-
pose to build a freight depot at
the south end Of Main street,
where it's tracks crUss that
thoroughfare, and whether they
will also build a passenger de-
pot there depends on what ar
engagements they can make for
using the union depot. The
Gazette sincerely hopes all roads
will use the union depot for the
good Of the travelling public.
The Atlantic and Birmingham
has purchased from Mr.. II. H:

Iit proposes to build, which viii

He has been known for many
years as one of the greatest
preachers in the church
HE LIKES ELEGANT ROBES
'Sarto" in Italian means tail
or" and Plus x, when a young
seminarist, being rather elegant
in his priest1y robes, his COM
panions used to joke him, say
that he evidently knew the bus
mess. He began his education
at a seminary at Treviso and
continued it at Padua, the seat
of the famous university one of
the best not only in Italy, but in
the world.
Plus x was only twenty-three
when he was consecrated priest
at Castel, Franco, the birthplace
OF the great master Giorgione,
acting afterwards for nine years
as coadjutor 10 the parish
priest of ombolo, province of
Padua, small village of 1850
people, who were the first to
appreciate his virtues. His kind
ness was untiring. He sought
to fill their wants and never a
murmur was heard when he was
called in the middle of a winter
night to a death bed, which PROV
ed to be nothingof the kind. He
gave freely of his very small
means, until he often went with
out means himself, but he kept
many poor family from starva-
ton.
In 1867 he was appointed parish
priest at Salanzo, which was
considered an important pro-
motion, being village of 3,341
souls. Still, he was exceedingly
sorry to leave Tombolo, having
become attached to the people.
The peasants, when he left,
made most enthusiastic demon
stration, crying, ''Viva, Don
Giuseppe" while many women
whose children he had nursed
wept copiously. He distinguish.
ed himself so much at Saizono
that he was only kept there two
years, which is remarkable in
the career of an Ita1iat parish
priest. In 1875 he was elected
chancellor of the bishopric OF
Treviso, then spiritual director 81
that seminary, Judge of the
ecclesiastical tribunal and finally
vicar general.

their spiritual king. Not only
had America enjoyed the honor
