contains a note from Foreign Minister
Delcasse showing France is not pre-
pared to express binding conclusions
until she has consulted with other
powers. The report indorses the prln-
ciple of gold standard for China
and other silver using counties, but it
points out that the plan is practicable
only when judicious control of the
coinage is had by the government and
gold reserve. 1t favors a coinage
ratio for the Orient, fixing the face
value of silver slightly above its bull
lion value, similar to the American
system in the Philippines.
The French commission makes res
ervations upon the proposed regular
purchases of silver, on the ground that
it is impossible to foresee the coun-
tries needs for subsidiary and coloni-
l coinage. The semi-otfieial advices
from Russia indicate that the COM
ss:on appointed by Finance Minis
ter Wlu.C ',as made a similar cOnclu-
sion. The French and Russians con-
sidered it preferable to establish
uniform system in China by begin

Death of Mrs. John Lipsey.


Death is at all times appalling
But when happy home is in
vaded and d dutiful wife, de
voted and consecrated mother
a faithful counsellor, advisor ano
friend is taken hence in the prime
Of her happiness, and when she
is at the full zenith Of her useful
ness, the insatiate monster seems
especially cruel This thought
is inspired by the sorrow and
gloom which enshrouded the
home of Mr.. John Llpsey last
Monday afternoon when his wife
passed into the great beyond.
Mrs. Lipsey had been i'll only a
few days and the fatal termina-
ton of her illness, peretonitis,
was a great shock and sorrow to
her family and friends. At mid
night Sunday fatal symptoms
appeared. and despite the heroic
efforts of her physicians, the end
came Monday afternoon. One of
the sweet consultations which will
ever abide with her loved ones is
the beautiful resignation and
Christian faith she exhibited to
the end. Although conscious
that death was approaching and
she would soon take a long fare
well of her husband and four
children, she met the inexorable
decree Eof Providence without
murmur.
Eight years ago, sweet and
pretty Clara Harris, daughter of
Capt. r. S. Harris, Of the Wood
lawn section, became the wife of
Mr.. John Lipsey, of this city.
Together they began the journey
of life, they built them a pretty
home, four children frightened
it and they were working out
life's problems together. They
became the center of a large cir
Gle of friends who admired and
loved them for the tranquility
and harmony of their domestic
tastes and the perfect accord of
their lives, As mother, as wife,
as neighbor, as friend, Mrs.
Lipsey was a type of gentleness
and sweetness in woman which
com mands universal reverence
and respect and it is this type of
womanliness which is most miss
ed when gone. She was faithful,
patient, gentle, kind and consid-
crate, affectionate and loving in
her home and ia her death a
load of woe and sorrow is given
unto her loved ones which God
only can give them strength to
bear.
The body was carried 10 Wood
lawn cemetery yesterday morn
ing, a large mum Der of sorrowing
friends accompanying the cortege
home The funeral ceremony
was held there and the body was
laid to rest in the family burial
ground, Rev. t. W. Lewis. of this

Countless friends over the coun-
ty sympathize with the bereaved
and grief-striclen husband and
children, with the aged father
and mother and with the sisters
and brothers in their great loss
and sorrow and with them THE
DISPATCH mingles its tears.

Lord hath taken away; blessed

States His Position.

number of the. people of this
section as regards the County
Farm; its present methods and
plans of operation, ETC. And the
question has been sprung, if the
convicts would not best sub
serve or promote the public in
terest by working them on the
public highways or under some
other plan than on farm. AS
[ have been Intercepted as to
how I stood or what my views
were along this line, and being
before the people from the First
District for re election in the
coming primary as their Super
visor, [ deem it not out of place
to briefly state my views public
ly, provided you will kindly al
low me space in your highly es-
teemed paper.
AS to the question or view of
working the convicts altogether
on the public roads or under
some other plan and do away
with the farm, I do not hold to;
but as to the present system and
methods Of operation [ think
that it is altogether likely that
improvement might be made
along certain lines.
Ia the first place, the farm,
since the County has had charge
of it, has increased in value, I
would safely say, three fold; that
is it could very likely be sold for
S12, 600 or $500 more than it
cost the County. mo bad argu-
ment itself in favor of the County
a farm which would
make the present value of the
farm about $40, 900. Now, my
view Of it is that this sum of
money is excessive or too great
for the County to have invested
in land, SO [ would say reduce
this investment one half by
selling the entire farm and in
vest one half the proceeds in a
smaller one, or sell one half and
turn the proceeds of this sale in
to the county treasury. Then
after this has been done [ would
insist that the new farm or the
one half of the old one as the
case might be, except what
might be necessary for pastur-
age, be cultivated in food crops
suitable for man and beast with
only a small surplus for cotton.
By this plan of procedure the
able bodied convicts could be
worked on the public highways
during the summer and fall
months, thereby improving our
main thoroughfares and at the
time feed themselves and the
negro paupers who are always
on the farm. AS there is
nearly always on the farm what
we might term a trash gang"
of convicts they could gather the
surplus cotton crop; also the
greater portion of other crop.
Now it seems to me by adopting
these methods the conyicts could
be kept on the public roads at
least four or five months in the
year and at a time when least ex-
posed to bad weather, less ex-
pense to handle and last, but not
least. when the work done will
be most profitable. Then an
other very important suggestion
would be that the County Audi
tor be required to file an annual
report during some month in the
year designated by the Board
showing where the balance lay,
whether in favor of or against
the farm, and the same to be
published.
These are my convictions or
views as TO the management of
our County convicts, and | ex-
pect to hold to and advocate
them unless convinced that some
othe plan is more practicable.
TO others who may differ with
me / freely and cordially grant
them the right
Respectfully,
S. ". CALDWELL.
