Jabulate the gains of the government
from this source are almost insur-
m0untahle if accurate figures are
what he is looking for The destruc-
ton Of aper money Of all sorts goes
on rapidly throughout the country,
yet this loss is never reported to the
treasury So the mathematicians
have had to take the complete fig
ures of the government redemption
division, and by comparing the aver
age life Of notes, the average per-
centage of actual redemption, and
other items of that sort have been
able to work out a fairly accurate
percentage of paper money that is
either destroyed or is in such hands
that it will never reach the treas
ury for redemption in gold.
One-Eighth of One Per Cent.
Well-known authorities who have
worked independently on the sub
ject found, when they compared
notes, that they had reached sub
stantially the same result-that of
all paper money issued the govern
ment escaped payment on from one
tenth of / per cent. to about one
half of 1 per cent This, of course,
means that the government makes
on the paper money it issues a com
mission varying between the per-
centages set forth. The most def
mite result shows a gain of approx
imately one-eighth of 1 per cent,
total gain to the government amount
ing to $13,241, 900 since the begin
ming of our paper money-about
half a century ago. This gain is
estimated on a total issue of all
sorts Of paper money, including ma
tiOnal bank notes, (as the banks
have to keep on deposit at the treas
ury United States bonds as security
for it's notes, and national bank
notes are frequently destroyed which
are never reported, which amounts
to about $10,360,O00,000 making
the gain, as before mentioned, three
twenty-ffths of / per cent.-about
0ne-eighth Of / per cent.
In it's accounts the government, to
be absolutely safe, puts the per-
centage of destruction of notes at the
lowest possible point, so that there
is no chance Of it finding itself worse
off than it had imagined in the event
of a run ON the treasury. In the
treasurer's statement concerning
notes is always entered under the
caption unknown, destroyed" an
item of $1,000,000, in spite of it's
estimate of $13,OO0,000. This is en-
tered in the redemption column and
subtracted from the amount out
standing, thus preserving the bal-
ance.
All sorts of causes contribute to
increase the amount of paper money
that will never be presented for re-
demptiOn. Fire is perhaps the most
important cause, though improved
safes and the more general use of
safes for holding the cash supply
are annually reducing the loss from
this cause. Then there is a sort Of
inertia that money seems to have
which keeps it out in the country
once it is started in circulation, even
though it be of an issue supposed
to mature at a given time Ship
wrecks, too, are responsible for
some of the loss. Lastly, there are
the collectors, and it is probable that
every fairly good collection of United
States paper money accounts for at
least one piece of every denomina-
ton that has failed to come back to
the treasury.

"113 EAT DOG +" N GILHER
SOMETHING'S ONE GANG is in as
rERD4NCY, AND VICE VERSA,
Hot fractional Politics There
This is the County in Which Gov.
Brown Granted a Blanket Pardon
fo,, Men Who Were Victims OF Par
tisqu Political Prosecution.


t;sap Political Prosecution.
ATLANTA, Ga.-There will prob
ably never come a time when GiImer
county becomes free of about the
hottest kind of fractional politics to
he found anywhere in the state.
From time immemorial, almost,
the lines in Gtlmer county have been
drawn tighter than at Donnybrook
fair; sometimes one faction is in the
ascendancy and sometimes another,
but it is always a case Of dog eat
dee and devil take the hindmost
1t is charged by some that one
faction is composed chiefly of re-
publtcans and the other Of demo-
Gratis. another allegation is that it
is lust a case Of a democratic split.
However that may be, the split is
always there, and both sides always
stand ready to make the fur fly.
When one Of these factions lined
up for Gov. Brown the other just
as naturally fell in behind Governor
elect Smith as the proverbial water
rolls off the proverbial ducks back.
Losers Cry Fraud.
The vote in Gilmer in the recent
election showed on the face Of the
returns 633 for Brown and 513 for
Smith a majority of 120 for the gov
ernor
Thereupon cries Of fraud were
raised by the faction which showed
the smallest vote, and it was charged
that more than 100 persons who
We're never registered had been al
lowed to cast their ballots.
With the unsuccessful faction in
elmer successful in the state it was
easy enough to give the primary vote
to Mr.. Smith, and this was done
by declaration of the state conven-
ton and Gilmer's convention votes
were placed in the Smith column.
This, however, was an old political
stunt, it had been worked time and
time over again by both factions.
But the unsuccessful faction in
elmer was not satisfied with its sue
cess in the state and in the state
convention; it proceeded to bring
court accusations and criminal pro-
ceedines against all the election
mnagers and clerks in the other fac
ton on the alleged ground that they
had permitted more than 100 per
sons to cast fraudulent ballots.
Election Officers Indicted.
A. H. Burtz and twenty-one other
election managers and clerks in Gill
mer county, all Brown men, were
indicted on the charge of having VIC
lated the primary election laws.
Burtz went to trial, and a jury was
secured chiefly from the opposing
faction, it is charged, with the in
eyitable result that he was convicted.
Inc court imposed a fine of $500 or
Twelve months on the changing.
Seeing that they were in for the
same sort of a deal, as they put it,,
the Il others entered pleas of guilty
and each was fined $40 and costs,
probably upon the theory that they
would pay these small fines and be
done with it.
fut they evidently had other ideas
III view. The situation was brought
70 the attention of Gov. Brown and
plsced before him in all it's details.
