yaIueIess Money

Money talks sometimes, but not al- ways" declared Judge Charles W. Fergu- son of the circuit court "It all depends on the time and the place. Now you take Mexico at the present time. There are places where the Carranza currency passes dollar for dollar under penalty of treason for failure to accept 1t at It's value in gold We people in the United States who hardly know the difference be- tween a gold and silver certificate or bank note cannot appreciate the trouble that the south was in during the days or the civil war. The money of the Confed- eracy gradually declined during and after the conflict until it became absolutely worthless.
 q was looking through my files the other day and ran across an indictment rendered during the time l was solicitor in 1902 in which negro named Jim Mad ison was charged with passing a Con federate ten-dollar bill. In writing the indictment and without trying to be face tious, I called attention to the fact that the bill represented nothing on God earth now and naught in the waters be- low it. that the bill was valueless for any purpose except to keep it dear friend and show it. :"
 s'The indictment created no small interest at the time and was considered mode. legal paper. In his indictment against Jim Madison, Judge Ferguson said Tn part:
 "The grand jury of said county further charge that before the finding of this in- dictment Jim Madison, with the intent to injure or defraud, did by means of cer- tain false token, to-wit, bill of the denomination of $lO. issued by the late Confederate States of America, The storm cradled nation that fell, that is sued one day It's promise to pay with the hope to redeem on the morrow" and by means of said false token obtained from one Perry J. Johnson the sum of $10 in lawful money of the United States of America in exchange for said Confeder- ate bill, the said Jim Madison well know ing at the time that said Confederate bill represented nothing on Gods earth now and naught in the waters below it'-that is to say that said bill was valueless for any purpose except to keep it dear friend and show it.

1 Supreme Court, in the meantime delaying any development on the part of the Steel Corporation in Birmingham.
 This great company has announced that it will build no plants here until this case is finally decided, and it is known whether or not it actually can hold and operate the Tennessee Company.
 The facts and the evidence is all in and we need, for the benefit of this district, the final decision. Every citizen of Bir- mingham and everyone interested in Bir- mingham should urge upon the President, the Attorney General and the Supreme Court an early hearing in this case and an early decision.
 Of course, this district has depended too much in the past upon the activities of the large iron and steel making com panies. But these are important and their development means the development of Birmingham.

GEORGIA IN LINE FOR
A NITROGEN PLANT

ATLANTA, April 6.-According to
received in Atlanta, Congress
may make some provision for the es-
adjustment of plant in this country
for the fixiation of atmospheric nitro
gen. Such a plant can be established
wherever cheap water power is OBJ
tainable, such as Georgia offers. The
plant, it is stated, takes from the air
ingredients absolutely essential to the
manufacture of fertilizers.
Representatives from Georgia in
both branches of congress will urge,
it is understood, that the plant be
built in Georgia. 1t will be pointed
out that the state affords unusual ad-
vantages in it's water powers. The
state is also a great consumer of fer
tilizers.

Ell PASO, Tex, April 6.-Informa.-
tion from Washington is to the effect
that the Carranza government may
soon indicate that the American trooDa
Villa are following cold
trail, that further pursuit would be
futile, and that the de facto govern

OF the United States troops to their
own country occasioned no surprise in
FL Paso. There has been insistent re-
ports here that the Carranza govern
ment looks with disfavor upon the
further pursuit of Villa, because the
presence of American troops in Mex
leo is embarrassing. These reports.
however, could not be confirmed, be-
cause Mexican officials said the ques-
tion is Of diplomatic nature ana
must be considered by the governmens
heads at Queretaro.
Army officers here state that while
difficulties besetting the bandit hunt
are increasing daily and It may he

suit will be continued relentlessly HR-

AMER|CUS PARTY
SEE NEW BRIDGE
OVER THE FLINT

A party of Americus people visited
the site of the new trestle across the
Flint river constructed by the Georgia
Lumber Co., at Copperas Bluff, Thurs
day afternoon. They left Americus
about 2 o'clock, and arrived at the
scene of the new bridge about three

Sumter county, and Americus is direct
ly concerned in its construction.
1t is understood that work will be
Immediately pushed, bringing the rail .
read to John Methvin's store in the
2Sth district. AS yet planned this is
the terminal of the road, and should it
be allowed to stop at this point work
will be begun on the eastern end of the
road in extending it to Hawkinsville.
Already the road connects with the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic rail-
road at Games.
Americus is vitality interested to the
extent that a large amount of her
trade comes from the 2Sth district and
with the construction of the new road
the channels of trade would be turned
by the new railroad from Americas to
places across the river, and ultimately
to Hawkinsville.
The visit of Americus people Thurs
day afternoon is expected to bring the
matter to some definite plans, and it is
to be hoped that arrangements can be
