DOTS ON THE WAY.
(Contiln ued from last week.]
In one of the discussions in ref
evenece to the, ability of some of
f he c1urhe e)to do- more than they
have done in repairing their old
churches, or building new ones, so
I hat Sunday School andotheri religious
services might be cdifortably enjoyed
even during the winter months, W.
S. Pickens, one of t he lay delegates,
Brushy Greek Circuit, took the floor,
and made an excellent speech, brist
ling all aliong with common sense and
practical truths, which n2 one acquain
ted with the circumstances could gain
say or deny. Ile rasped the ministers
.Qharply for their beautiful theo
vies, ia their several reports from their
chiircles, as to the financial ability of
the people, but as an olirset to many of
these theoretic- castles he made a most
tartlinig declarationi that seven-tenth.s
of the people to-day, if forced to settle
ment, could not meet theirliabili' v and
were actually insolvent. Is this anl ex
a:iggeration, or is it a sober realit ' ? Mr.
Pickens is no vigionary theorist, but is
a plain, practical man, and is conse
quently not likely to exaggerate in his
st atements. Besides, on this (u1estion of
financial standing, there was no man
on the floor of the Conference, so wel:
'pialitied to speak intelligently on that
point. Even since the war he has been
more 01 less employed as assessor,
omuetimes for the County, and alwavs
for his own and adjoining townships.
and therefore he testifies as to what he
haits seen and knows. We may, there.

Anderson County is said to be the ban.

respects. doubtless, the claim is lerit.i

credit the people of the whole State.
Thle picture is not over-drawn, and any
one who is curious to know miay go to
the records, and find, like the Queen of
Sheba, the wvorst has not been toldl.
And yet, just before every election

TIhie present bankin~g system of the
country puts it in t he powecr of the han

by the stringency in the money market,
produced by the contraction of thme Na
tional currency, millions have ben nl
ready abstfacted from the earninks of
labor, and tyrransfered to the pockets
of the bankers and speculators. 'ie
estimate is based on good authority,
that 32,000,000 have been abstracted
from the volume of the circtlating
medium of the counti3, when it was
entirely too contracted before. And

no effort, to relieve the distresses of the
country, by increasing the circulating
medium. Coming down to State mat
ters, the salaries of all our officials
might he reduced 20 per cent., without
detriment, and then the clerk1 hilre, in
most cases, ought to be dispensed with
entirely, or reduced at least 50 per
cent. And then the Registration oil
cers should have their salaries reduced
to a reasonable conpen sation for actu
