TERMS: ONE YEAR._,t. $1 60 SIX MONTHS_. 75 CLEARING BOUSE CERTIFICATES FOB ANDERSON. ;At a meeting of the Board of Trade of this city on Monday last the preamble, id resolution herewith printed were ippted: In view of the continued money strin? gency in New. York and other centres, . and Lbs consequent probable inability of the Banks to obtain, ^s heretofore, a sufficiency ol money to move freely the cotton as it comes to our market, be it Resolved, That the Board of Trade ot Anderson do and hereby requests the ^Banks of this city to arrange for the issu? ing of Clearing House Certificates, such ,aa are, at this time and in this emergency, being used in other cities, in such ?amounts as they may find necessary to ?. inovo without delay or embarrassment; ? the cotton as it comes in, and to meet the ' demands of our trade in general. The certificates that may be issued un . de. this resolution will be based upon V securities owned by the Banks (hat will . insure their redemption without discount and will make them as safe a medium of exchange as bills issued by the Govern? ment. Such action by the Banks will be in ao *n experiment, for the custom of ig Clearing House Certificates has ng b&en practiced in large business itres to facilitate settlements and for I convenience of local business of all ids. Tho custom has not prevailed tensiveiy in the South for the reason money could usually be secured in amounts sufficient to meet all the con? tingencies of trade. But during the "present stringency this expedient has f been adopted in various Southern cities and has been beneficial in its results to ail kinds of trade and business. Of course the success of the certificates will depend upon the confidence people have in them, but when it is known that they are based upon securities worth * double Ihe face value of the certificates, or more, there can be but little doubt that they areas safe as if issued on Govern? ment bonds. While that is true, no one can be forced to accept them, as only our national currency can have the effect of a legal tender for the payment of debts. There is no doubt that the certificates will be generally accepted by business 5 men in this community in payment of all kinds of debts, and there is no reason why they should not be aocepted by overy-onejust as freely. ?" If the Banks have reason to believe that the emergency demands it, the cer f, tiflcates will be issued in each an amount and for such time as to give the relief ?i'needed. It is gratifying to know that no effort will be spared to relieve the present / money stringency and prevent a .stag nation in business. Should the certificates be issued this I office would, be happy if it conld secure tho whole issue in some way, whether by payment of debts now owing or by the payment of subscriptions and advertising in advance for years to come. THJE SOUTH AND EUROPE. . A notable editorial under the above headline, appears in a recent issue of the s^ugusta Evening News, It refers to' the fact that a contract has been signed by the Port Royal Land Company for. a line of ateamera between Port Royal and - Liverpool, also running to London and Antweip. An oxtraot from the editorial is aa follows, and explains itself: "PresidentVatCalhoun and Mr. R R. v Ctonklin^of ihe former company, went -over to England with representatives of the great English line, who recently i inspected Port Royal, Augusta and this section of the South, and after laying ' their report and plan before the Johnston company the contract was readily made and signed as stated. This is the biiggest news of the season, for it means as much to Port Royal and the South as the lifting ?'' of the financial pressure and the return ' of good times. Indeed, no influence v short of the immediate and unconditional repeal of the infamous Sherman silver purchase clause can or will do more to ??t the pressure and restore confidence and prosperity to this Section. A direct line of steamships from the. South to t Lurcpe, beginning how with two ships a month and growing to many ships in a short time,'-means the commercial and financial independence of the South. It means that Port Boyet-will compete with New York, not only in carrying Southern cotton to Liverpool, but in transporting ?Western grain and provisions to Euro? pean ports. It means anew era of un? precedented prosperity for the South and the establishment here of a Southern . financial center which shall in time hold its own against New York." Columbia State : "This" -is a pleasing prospect indeed! President Simmons of the Fourth National Bank of New York, one of the magnates of the clearing house association of that city, predicts that money will glut the market in a few days. He bases his expectation upon the fact that the premium on currency has already fallen from 5 per cent' to i of 1 per cent, because of the large importa? tion of gold, and that the Sherman law _wiil be repealed. Other banking opin? ions are to. the same effect. They are . that in a short time deposits in the banks will exceed the capacity of those institu? tions to loan it." - Adjt Gen. George Moreland has fur? nished a list of the camps in the United Confederate Veterans by States, for *he information of the 'Veterans and the pub? lic ; and states that applications for papers for organization have been received already from over one hundred new camps which he believes, with the three hundred and seventy-one now registered will, unless the stringency of the times prevents, marshal the representatives of five hundred camps at the Birmingham - reunion on October 2d and 3d. He says that the change of the date of the reunion to October 2d and 3d will give greater satisfaction to every portion of the South, and a large and enthusiastic meeting is expected._ The New Orleans Picayune says: "How, then, is an act of Congress to relieve the poor man or to restore the lost wealth of the bankrupt merchant or manufacturer? Plainly, it.is powerless to do anything of the sort. All that can be hoped from Congress is that it will promptly execute such legislation as will restore confidence in all branches of legit? imate I c sin ess and start up the various industries which have been closed, and re-establish a market for the prod acts of industry. This cannot be done at a sin? gle stroke. A single dose of i medicine will not hee^a patient whose sickness is of long stauuing. But even if it were the most powerful remedy known to science, the process of cure must be gradual. ' There has been a desire manifested by some to have the State monopolize the sale of school books, establishing deposi? tories in. each CoUnty and paying the School Commissioner 5 per cent of the sales lor attending to it She has already entered into and monopolized one busi? ness. Why not gobble up another ? And why stop short of any business that .offers a prospect of revenue T But do the Advocates of this scheme know that the retailers are not responsiblei for the prices .of books ? Do they know that there is an \advalorem duty of 25 per cent, on school ; .books, put there by the Republicans in what jsvknown as the McKinley tariff ^p^^^^o^a^^^^of^iooX lars are extorted by that Infamous act for the benefit of the' publishers?a bonus paid by the purchaser to the publisher under compulsion of law. The Demo-" oratio party is pledged to reform snch iniquities. Let those who desire cheaper school hooks stand by the Democratic party in its efforts to relieve the burdens of the people by reforming the legalized robbery under the McKinley act. Judging from the vote in the House on Monday on the Wilson bill President Cleveland's message was too logical to be refuted by those who took issue with him on that subject. Indeed, no speaker in Congress, whether for or against the bill, has presented his views in so masterly a style or with the clearness, simplicity and irresistible force that characterized the message. From a letter from Mr. O. A. Bo wen, of Pendleton, published elsewhere, our readers will see that Capt. Jobn W. Clark, manager of the Augusta Exposi? tion, will be in this city on Monday next for the purpose of meeting those of our citizens who wish to get up a creditable display of the products*of our County for the Augusta Exposition. We ask that everybody in sympathy with this work of advertising our great resources to an intelligent public meet with him in the Court House on that day. In no deroga? tion of our magnificent County, blessed as but few parts of the world are, do we say that it is susceptible of a development that would make it the garden spct of the world aud our people the happiest and most prosperous on earth. * >???????j? A TRIP TO THE WEST. Messrs. Editors : In la? L week's issne I gave your readers some account of my I trip out West. I was at Sherman, Texas, I when I last wrote. I did not exaggerate, I for that is hard to do about some portions of the West. Still there are some places I that are not more desirable than this I County. As a home, simply to live with j out considering the making of the living, j Anderson is alright, but the outlook for' I the poor man, and especially the farmer, J is very; very gloomy. He that is poor . -u nearly hold his own here, bot he j must keep moving even to do that. I Moreover, the man with a large family of I children, without a home that he can call I his own, may truthfully say the prospect io I not promising. To such I would say "go I West." And why do I say that ? because j there is plenty of good land In Arkansas I and Texas still open to homestead. It is I generally off from the railroads, but I railroads follow settlements. And further, I labor is worth more in the West than j here. It produces more and that accounts I for why it is worth more. The most of I the poor man's capital is represented in j his own and his children's ability to work. II know of thousands of acres of good land I that can be bought for from ?1.00 to $5.00 j per acre. It is not on a railroad and the j man who lives on it cannot spend half of I his time loafing on the streets, but he can I make a good living and own the shelter I that covers his wife and children. Can j he do that here? Many a man in An I derson County will feel forced to answer j no. Some people succeed here, but how I nrny people in this County are worth I more now than they were five years ago. I j may be pardoned for what I have said, I when it is considered that the poor man is the one who needs help. The man with means can help himself. The references I above made are mostly to Sevier and Polk I Counties, Arkansas. j' Of course, the person who can get there with money has better advantages than I the man without it, and the more money I the better. I. In. reference to Texas, that portion j which I saw is pretty well settled, and the I chances for securing homes is not so good, but when once secured it is everlasting I j saw many farms along the Texas & Pa I cific Railroad that are rich beyond descrip I tion. The man who gets a home there Is I fixed for.all time. The soil is from one to I tea' feet deep, and aa fertile aa can be. This land is worth.from $20 to $100 per I acre. I was surprised to find most of the I merchandise cheaper in Texas than in An-. I derson, but the difference is very slight { Around Sherman crops. are good, but j [ west of Gray son County the corn and cot- ! j ton crop is almost an entire failure: The I old neighbors of James Martin, who lived I fn the upper portion of this County, | I would be so surprised to see his present j crop. I never saw a finer crop than his. j I He is a good worker, and is succeeding. I He is pleased with the West. ] I visited several ranches in Orayson I County, and saw some very fine stock. I I was out of sight of trees, being on the I prairie, and the mirage was a most charm - I iog sight. We could Bee the most beauti I fnl lake, that seemed to be a mile off, hot I we could not get closer to it. It seemed j that we could see the cattle and horses I drinking out of it and tie reflection of the I trees, but like the end of the rainbow that I almost every boy has chased, it could not j be found. I We went a jack rabbit bunting one day, I and had lots of fun. I killed one and shot I at several more. j We left Sherman and went to Fort | j Worth, a thriving and busy city. It is I backed up by a fine farming country, j j From Fort Worth we went to Dallas, the | I most thriving city we visited west of At-I I lanta, Ga. It is located on tbe Trinity I River, up whioh boats run to Dallas, giv? ing them advantages in freight rates. I From Dallas we came to Texarkana, pass I lng through Marshall, Longview, Jeffer? son and other places. Most of the conn I try from Dallas to Texarkana along our return trip is poor, and not very desirable j as seen from the railroad. I In Sherman, Fort Worth and Dallas I there are very fine public school buildings and fine education advantages. Tbe same I is true of Paris and Bonham. In fact, I most every County seat is provided with I good schools, churches, Jails and court I houses. j From what I could see in the limited time I had, I wonld say that Lamar, Fan nin and Grayson are among tbe best ] Counties in Texas. I We hear so much about tbe intense heat, the blizzards or northers, and tbe I Band storms of tbe West, we naturally I dread tbe country, but these reports are I greatly exaggerated. Tbe climate there is j as pleasant as here, if not more so. It is j not hotter than here, and as to northers, they are very little more than our cold I spells here. The sand storms only occur I on 'he plains in tbe sandy sections, and I they are very few and far between. The next thing is the water. MbJ- Cox has several springs on his farm tbat are as good as one could wish. I do wish I had I such a well or spring in my yard. But good water is not so plentiful as in this I County, but good water can generally be secured by digging for it. In Arkansas j there is plenty of water tjat is generally I go*. 3, and it is the bes*. timbered country II ever saw. In Texas, and especially in I the best farming sections, there is only, I and barely enough, timber for fuel. J Building material is shipped in from eas I tern Texas and western Arkansas. j In conclusion let me say tbat my former opinion of the West has been sustained by this trip. But I would not advise men comfortably fixed In good homes to break up and go West, but I would never work the poor farms in this County and pay rent, when there is so much good land so cheap open for settlement in the West. But I have not yet found a place of perfec? tion. There are some disadvantages in every section, and that which suits one might not suit others* I shall be glad to talk to any of my friends, and will tell j^^^|8^yha^^e^wil^find in tbe West, I can give details and pn-firalhrV. ?It-rN if incorporated in this ieuer would ivhUk it too long. As I said in the beginning, the tnau whose capital is represented in the labor of himself and family, will find it to biB interest to seek a home in western Arkan? sas or Texas. Bat do not go blindly. If you cannot afford to go and see it for yourself, take the advice of a fneud who Is there, or has been there. My opinion may differ from others who went with ".is, but that does not change the facts. We did not all see the same places. Very few of them saw any of Arkansas, except from the train. I saw many places both in Ar? kansas and Texas that I would not, under any circumstances, settle at. But they are not discussed, because I never would set? tle or advise others to settle in them. C. Wakdlaw. IT WENT DEMOCRATIC. The House Gives Cleveland A Roa*lug Ma? jority. Washington, D. C, Aug. 28.?The knowledge that the day would be de? voted to roll calls on matters relating to the most important question which has attracted the attention of tho country for the past quarter of a century, of exciting interest to the ordinary spectator in the galleries, had a notable effect upon the audience this morning. Long before the noon hour of meeting the public galleries were jammed with earnest listeners. When a quarter before noon the reserved galleries were .opened, there was a rush made to secure good seats, and in a mo? ment every bench was rilled with ladies in summer costumes who manipulated fluttering fans in order to temper the muggy heat which permeated the cham? ber. The floor was the scene of noisy, bustling confusion, the various leaders being busy in marshalling their cohorts. Every member was on the tiptoe of ex? pectation and it may be said that every representative who was not detained by illness was in his seat. The. house was called promptly to order at 12o'clock and the chaplain invoked the special Divine guidance on members an this critical mo? ment. The Wilson bill having been read, Bland offered his first amendment?that of free coinage at the present ratio of 16 to 1?and it was defeated by a vote of yeas 124, nays 226, amid ap? plause from the anti-silver men who re? ceived one more majority than they ex? pected. Shell, democrat, of Sonth Carolina, in favor of free silver, was paired with Gra? ham, democrat, of New York, opposed to it. Not much interest was taken in the second vote which was on the ratio of 17 to L The decisive vote on the 16 to 1 ratio seemed to dishearten the silver men and In place of the attenflon whioh was paid to the first vote was substituted list lessness whioh spread throughout the ball. .'This vote resulted in the defeat of the amendment by a vote of yeas;i00, nays 240. The populist members did not vote. The members who voted for the 16 to 1 ratio but against 17 to 1 ratio were Bretz, democrat, of Indiana; Brook - shire, democrat, of Indiana; By ran, democrat, of Nebraska; Conn, democrat, of Indiana; Doolittle, republican, of Washington: Geary, democrat, of Cali? fornia ; Harris, populist, of Kansas; Holman, democrat, of Indiana; Lati rn er, democrat, of South Carolina; Ma galre, democrat, of California; McKig ham, populist, of Nebraska; McLaurin, 'democrat, of South Carolina; Post, re? publican, of Illinois; Strait, democrat, of South Carolina; Sweet, republican, of Idaho; Talbert, democrat, of South Car? olina, and Taylor, democrat, of Indiana. The members who voted for 16 to 1 but declined to vote at all on the 17 to 1 amendment were:. Baker, populist, of Kansas; Bankhead, democrat, of Ala? bama; Boen, populist, of Minnesota; Cannon, democrat, of California; Cock rell, democrat, of Texas; Davis, populi3t of Kansas; C-ady, democrat, of North Carolina-; Hudson, democrat, of Kansas ; Kern, populist, of Nebraska; Pence, populist, of Colorado; Simpson, popu? list, of Kansas, and Turpie, democrat, of Alabama. Russell, democrat, of Georgia, and Snodgrass, democrat, of Tennessee, who voted against 16 to 1, voted in favor of 17 tol. The 18 to 1 amendment' was defeated by a vote of yeas 102, nays 239. Of those who had previously voted on 16 or 17 to 1, the following did not voto at all on the 18 ratio: Allen, of Mississippi; Bank head, of Alabama; Bailey, of Texas; Cannon, democrat, of California; Grady, democrat, of North Carolina, and Living? ston, of Georgia. The house then voted on the 19 to 1 amendment and it was defeated by a vote of yeas 104, nays 238. Then came the 20 to 1 amendment and this in turn was defeated, though it show? ed more strength, the vote standing yeas 12L nays 222. . The proposition to include tho Bland Allison act as a proviso to the repeal bill received the strongest support, but even that was defeated by a majority of 77, the vote standing yeas 136, nays 213. Then came the final vote which Bailey, democrat, of Texas, endeavored to stave off for a time by offering an amendment to repeal the parity clause of the Sher? man Act in the hope that by doing so he could rally some of the gold men to his support and thus weaken the friends of unconditional repeal of the purchasing clause. But the speaker ruled that this was not in order pending the demand for the en? grossment and third reading of that bill, and the bill was accordingly ordered to a third reading. Then Bailey raised the point that there should be a division of the question. One part of it repealed the p urchasing clause and the other retained the parity clause. There should be a separate vote on each. But again the speaker pointed to a deci? sive order of the resolution under which the house was acting and held that such separation could not be had. The vote was then taken upon the final passage of the Wilson bill, and it was passed?yeas 240, nays 110. A comparison of the seven separate votes taken shows that at no time did the anti silver men have less than 77 clear majority. Their greatest strength was shown on the 17 to 1 majority of 140. On the final passage of the bill the antis mus? tered their strength again but owing to a desperate rally of the silver men their majority was out down to 129. One of the surprises of the day was the lack of strength on tho 20 to 1 amendment wjrich was supposed to be the strongest propo? sition tnat the silver men had Tn reserve. As a matter of fact it was weaker by vote shown than the 16 to 1 proposition and the majority against it was 101. A Slick Swindler. Acwoeth, Ga.. August 27.?A slick young man passed this way a few days ago. He claimed to be Georgo I. Leving ston. and that he represented C. J. Mat tingly <fc Bro., liquor dealers, of Louis? ville. He was dressed in a suit of blue, derby hat and red shoes. He was of me? dium size, black eyes and moustache, and sharp enough to beat the Lemon Bank? ing Company out of $85. He had a check sent him through the bank from his house in a letter written to the bank by his firm requesting the bank to cash the check when the young man should ar? rive. The letter was written on paper with the name and place of business of the firm printed at the top of the leaf, and the signature of the young man onclosed. The president of the bank referred to his Commercial Report and found a firm of the style of this firm, except a slight de? fect, which he presumed was a printer's error. When the young man called his signature corresponded exactly with the one sent and he further identified him? self by a letter of introduction from his employers, which was so complete that the bank paid the check of ?85. The young man left and the check has proven tobebogusand no auch firm exists in Louisville. Captain Lemon, the bank president, is a very shrewd and careful business man, but this trick was so well acted that he got beat beat this time. The Federal Patronage. Washington, August 26.?Senator Butler and Representatives McLaurin and Talbert met by appointment to-day at the Postoffice department and agreed on a number of fourth-class postmasters. One of the men they Jointly recommen? ded was Emanuels for the office at Ben? netts vi lie. On account of this little meet? ing and agreement, the South Carolina delegation are doing some wild specula? tion. The members of the delegation have about been convinced that as long as they stand separate on matters of patronage the State fares worse for it, and Senator Butler, who is looking out only for tho f;ood of his constituency, is wili? ng to join in any recommendation by the other mombers which seem fit to make. John Gary Evans, and George Eyans spent yesterday in the city, one going to Chicago and the other returning. Senator Butler yesterday landed Sin? gleton Bowles of Lowndosville in a mes? senger's placa^i^fe^ Treasury, Jink".- Simouton's Decision. Columbia, S. C, August -2-2 ?Tho Ad? ministration does not seem to think that there is any harm in Judge Simouton's decision or that it is the beginuing 61' the downfall of tho law. They have all along thought that the law was impregnable, and even an opinion from Judge Simon ton is thought of so little importance that they all claim that no harm can coino out of it. Of course the decision will bo appealed from, and Attorney General Townsend says that it will bo" carried to tho Supreme Court with others which will perhaps bo roady in a short time. One thing is very curious, and that is bow differently tho opinion'is viewed in its effects upon the dispensary Bj'stom. There are some who regard it as a very serious blow to the system, and that it has opened the way for men to get all of the liquor that is wanted for personal use and without any interference whatever. Attorney General Townsend, howover, takes a vory different view of tho effect of the opinion. He says that the opinion is only upon tho question of tho right of tho State to arrest a railroaU agent under the provisions of Section 25 of the law. No other point in the law has been decided, and tho only effect of the decision, if sustained, would be to pre? vent the State from arresting agents who handled the shipments of liquor. Tho law, he thinks, provides plenty of other valid grounds upon which the importa? tion of liquor can be stopped. Ho thinks that there is nothing in the opinion that would prevent tho Slate's constables from seizing a shipment of liquor, no matter for what use it was intended, if it did not bear one of the stamps provided for in the law. The package, bethought, could be seized and confiscated to the State i mediately upon its "arrival," aud th( State could in that way prevent tho sh m en t of liquor into the State, except when consigned to the commissioner. There was no way, he thought, by which the commissioner could be compelled to give the stamps which were required, in his opinion, to pass packages. He insisted that the opinion affected no other part the law, excepting the clause which ferred to the arrest of agents. There are, however, others who are somewhat inclined to take a different view of tho subject. Commissioner Trax ler, for instance, thinks that the decisi might affect the income of the dispensary but that otherwise it will have no resu It has no affect he thought upon the spirit of the law and the Act would restrict the sale of liquor as originally intended. Another State House officer took a very gloomy view of the situation and thoug that the opinion would have a most (Tis astrous effect upon the dispensary law If it did not already decide that there was nothing in tho law that would prevent the interference with liquor shipped an individual. Judge Simonton's opinion would, he thought, lead to that result It was but the beginning of that phase the objection to the law. He thought that if Judge Simonton's opinion did not already prevent any Interference with liquor shipped from outside of tbe State it was a mere question of time as to when the State would have its eye completely blackened on that point. He argued that if the State cannot interfere with ship ments under Section 25 and arrest agents for violation of its provisions it could not do so at all. On Law Hange this morning there were three lawyers in one of the offices discuss ing Judge Simonton's opinion. They agreed that under that opinion there was nothing to prevent the shipment of liquor into the State from a neighboring State and that the State could not interfere with tho liquor upon its receipt in this State, or upon its arrival at its destina? tion. They went so far as to say that party might become an agent for a liquor house outside of the State and with im punity receive orders for goods to be shipped into this State. The goods, tbey said, could be shipped C. O. D. or the bill might follow. The agent, they argued, bad nothing to do with tbe collec tton of the money, the delivery of the goods or any part of the sales, and con sequently nothing could bo done wi them under the provisions of the dispen sary law, and they further suggested that this would become quite a popular scheme.?News and Courier. Scenes at a Camp Meeting. Camp Point, III., August 20.?With songs and shouts and the chanting so peculiar to the colored race, a wierd spectacle was enacted to-day and to-nigh on the camp gronnds of the Christian Evangelist Association near this place This association is composed of zealous colored people, and the meetings have been in progress for a week or more un der the leadership of the Rev. H. Salee of Qnincy, assisted by Mrs. Florence Schooler and others. / Large crowds of people nave attended tho meetings. Saturday and today closed tbe exercises, and in the presence of tbe usual great throngs were enacted, with solemnity and no little grotesqueness scenes from Bible days and well-known parables. These spectacles are not alto gether new in Western Illinois, and these colored folks at Camp Point are be lieved to be the pioneers in this strung method of depicting scenes from Holy Writ. The first of a series of three scenes from Bible times began yesterday afternoon with the killing of the fatted calf in an ticipation of the return of tho prodigal son. An aged momber of the camp meet? ing represented the "certain rich man, and two young men impersonated the sons. One remained at home like good boy, while the other skipped out, ostensibly with a circus. After a lapse of years, a la drama, a report gained cur rency that tho prodigal son, badly dis figured through tbe prevailing financial stringency, was on the homo stretch. In fact, it was rumored th:u he was some where near Clayton. The anticipated return was duly cele brated from Saturday night until about 3 o'clock this afternoon, when suddenly the assembled throng beheld tbe tattered prodigal hastening campward through wheat field. Tbe aged father made baste to fall upon the young man's nock, cry ing: "Wharhabyo bin, yo pore boy? You ise hongry ; but dar am chicken an watermillion a plenty !" A feast followed the greeting, while willing hands placed a crimson robe upon the young man' shoulders. Luscious watermelons from the sand hills of Meredosia on the Illinois River, suffered during the re past. The spectacle was followed by the march of the ten virgins. The young women were fantastically arrayed and went through the performance of attend ing the marriage ceremony. The march was stately and was accompanied by a weird chant. The grief and dismay of the five foolish virgins who had failed to supply themselves with sufficient oil for their lamps was dramatic. The crown ing event of the whole meeting, the closing act, was the -ceremony of the children of Israel crossing the Jordan and laying the twelve memorial stones The grotesqueness was intensified by the torches used in the procession. These cast an unearthly glamour over tho sur? roundings and intensified the impress' iveness of the scene. Night had thrown a mantlo over the camp grounds and, with the asserablod throngs, part of tho time hushed by the impressive ceremonies and anon mur? muring surprise at the solemnity and weirdnosSiOf the scene, lent a certain im' pressivoness to the ceremonies that was irresistible. Of course, no river Jordan, with its wails of water, could be had, but one was improvised for the occasion, and through it marched the triumphant hosts singing and chanting as they marched. It was tho last hour of tho meeting, and the worshippers became more fervid in their exhortations as tho night grew on. To many the scene was a beautiful one, and to ;all it was impressive. But by midnight the last song, tho last shout and the farewell prayer had been said and solitude reigned around tho tented grounds.?Chicago Herald. Atlanta, Ga., August 22.?A negro conyict named Ed. Hopkins made a uni? que but unsuccessful attempt to escape from the Dade coal mines stoskado a few days ago. He arranged a coffin-shaped box with no top, and inverted it upon himself on ono of the small cars that en? tered tho mines. A fellow convict heap? ed coal upon this and tho object was soon hiddon from sight. It was neces? sary to hurl the ooal forty feet down a chute. The buried negro, half suffocated could make no outcry. Down he went with the heap, reaching the bottom more dead than alive. Ho was picked up ter? ribly bruised and bleeding, and was re? turned to the mines, where he recoived medical treatment. It is thought that with attention ho will recover. ? A landlord in Orchard streot was ejecting a female tenant for non paymont of root, when a passerby inquired the cause of the trouble, and, being tolch said that he would not see a woman turned out of her homo and that ho would pay tho rent. He handed 81?0 to the landlord who took four months' rent out of it and gave the balance, ?52, back to tho good Samaritan and a receipt to tho woman. The man then wont away, and the land? lord, afew ininutos later, discovered that he harLbeen swindled, as the ?100 bill was , a cpnrjprfeit.?New Tori: Leiter. ' A Convict's Kerve, Georgia's Big Farmer. Frank Wehlen has written an interest? ing letter iu the Atlanta Constitution giving some figures about Georgia's groat farmer, Colonel Jim Smith, of Ogle thorpe. Uo went to Colonel Smith's farm primarily because of the visit of tho Egyptian representative, and his letter contained some interesting comparative figures on tho expense of raising cotton in Egypt and America. But the acreage and yield of Colonel Smith's fields, together with the hands employed and animals used in their cultivation are so large as to challenge attention, and stamp him easily the leading farmer in Georgia, and probably in half the States of the Union. They sound more like the num? ber of serfs and vassals of some feudal lord than employees of a plain Georgia farmer. Iioro are some figures as given by Mr. Woldon: Colonel Smith has four systems of farming. Ho cultivates 3,000 acres by hired free labor, 3,1)00 acres by' con? victs leased from the State. 2,000 acres by tenants who pay him one-fourth of their crops, and :'.,000 ucres by "crop? pers," who pay him one-half of their crops. Colonel Smith owns 200 mules, twelve horses, 800 cows and oxon, and calves, and 400 hogs. His mules are fine and cost him from 8150 to 8200 apiece. His herd of cows contain many Holstein, Jersey and Ayreshire cattle. Some of tbeso cattle are thoroughbred and are rogistered. lie milksabout seventy cows and makes sixty pounds of fine butter per day, selling it for 25 cents per pound. He cultivates about 3,000 acres around his home place where he lives with free hired labor, all tho laborers being ne? groes, lie also keeps constantly em ploy? ed a number of carpenters, bricklayers and blacksmiths. Colonel Smith is not an all cotton far? mer. As stated above he has about 400 bogs and 800 head of cattle, so that there is never any lack of meat, and besides hiB thousands of acres of pasture land he raises an abundant supply of provender for his stock. He has on band now 6000 bushels of old corn which he has kept in the shuck and 2,000 bushels of oats from tho crop of 1892. He has a large amount of forage and believes that he could make his crop noxt year without having to uso any of this year's crop for his stock. He sows wheat for tho double purpose of getting grain and to improve the worn out lands which havo been planted in cotton for a number of years in succes? sion. Wheat gives the land a rest and replaces in it vegetablo matter. His wheat is generally planted on the poorest lands. Hence the yield is lighter than it would be otherwise. Rye and cow peas and clover are all planted to rest the land and improve it. Following is a statement of the acreage devoted to each crop and the yield : Crop Acres Yield. Cotton.4,000 1,800 ba. Corn.2,000 30,000 bu. Wheat.1,000 10,000 bu. Oats. 800- 16,000 bu. Rye. 200 1,400 bu. Yams. 100 5,000 bu. Ruta baga turnips. 100 30,000 bu. Irish potatoes. 20 1,000 bu. Colonel SmiL. uas proven that there is money in farming when a man gives his attention to it, and has for years been en? larging his estate and ' making good money on his investment. Besides being the largest farmer in this section, he is one of the largest land owners, and one of the rich men of the State. *-?? The Chinese Debtor. Fromvthe reports of three American consuls in China some very interesting facts may be gleaned in regard to debt and litigation. In China there are no lawyers, fees and costs. Litigation is regarded as a great evil and is made very simple. A magis? trate hears a case very much as a father would a dispute between two children, and in the main justice is administered speedily, thoroughly and cheaply. To prevent litigation, many debts have been 'made debts of honor, not binding ,in law. Among these are all loans of friends or relatives to start a man in busi? ness, extricate him from trouble, assist him in litigation?all loans to a gambler, spendthrift, drunkard or runaway wife all loans upon parol, withont security, and various other debts. Drinking debts are not collectable. A Chinaman takes a a very little liquor at his meals. If he is a drunkard it is a disgrace of the deepest sort. The only saloons, in China are owned and patronized by Europeans and Americans. Professional services cannot be sued for unless there is a written obli? gation. The unsecured creditor simply stands in front of the debtor's door and weeps. He rarely has to do this longer than an hour. To get rid of the annoy? ance and avoid disgrace, the debtor hus? tles around and gets up the money. In cases of insolvency the debtor al? most invariably pays if he retrieves his position. A legal debt is binding upon a man's .children and grandchildren, and it is considered a filial duty to pay a father's debt of honor. A peculiar cus? tom in China is that of mutual forgetful ness. When a creditor is on friendly terms with a debtor who cannot pay in full or in part, he calls on him and agrees to "forgetv everything" to date. This custom is greatly favored by magistrates and is equivalent to a release under seal. Consul Bedloe says: "Beyond the fear of going to law is the great fear and disgrace of being a delin? quent debtor. A Chinaman who becomes financially embarrassed will sell himself for a plantation coolie, go into exile for twenty yoars, or even commit suicide. It is part of his religion to pay off all he 0^ es in the last week of the year, in order that ho may begin tho next one free from care ana obligation. If he has not enough money, he will give a note or bond, or a bond signed by relatives to tide himself over to a more prosperous season. At this time of tho year creditors are lenient and liberal. Where they are satisfied with the bona fides of a debtor, they will compromise on easy terms, and on many occasions will forgive the debt entirely." The Chinese business man is the soul of honor and foreigners prefer to deal with him. There are no fraudulent fail? ures. In the event of a failure a man's whole family is responsible for a legal debt. Consul Fowler writes: "For a Chinese not to nay his debts is a disgrace felt so keenly that he will com? mit suicide rather than face tho reproaches of his friends. On the last day of the year the Chinese have a great settling. On that day they settle with their credi? tors and begin the new year with clean books. At this time suicides are more frequent, the poor wretches being unable to meet their obligations. At two other periods of the year accounts are settled, but not so scrupulously. "The rich do not contract debts, unless thoy are reasonably sure that they can pay, for in the event of failure they would lose respect, and the possibility of a sui? cide's grave stares them in the face. Tho poor do not contract debts, because credit is not accorded them; they must pay cash down." And these are the people who are placed under the ban by our Geary law! Instead of shutting out the Chinese, and viewing thorn contemptously as a semi-civilized people, perhaps it would profit us to make a closer study of their social, business and political systems. A people who had a religion, a literature and many of the arts of an advanced civ il ization a thousand years ago, when our ascestors were half-naked savages, roam? ing through the forests of Britain and Germany, ought to bo able to teach us something, and we should be very will? ing to learn from them. Tho Chinese are the most interesting people on the face of tho earth, unless wo except the Japanese. Short Crops In Europe. Washington, August 27.?The recent advices recoived by Secretary Morton from one of his agents in Europe, Mr. Mattes, fully confirm previous reports regarding the shortage of certain crops iu many sections of Europe, which he represents is likely to create a very large demand for American forage crops, in? cluding corn, although he dues not think it likely that much of tho latter will be used as human food. He represents that the tariff complications between Russia and Germany are likely to render the people of the latter country especially dependent upon the United States for theirsupplies. A Bale to Six Acres. Austin, Texas, August 26.?Cotton planters in town to-day tell doleful tales about the condition of cotton, which is suffering for rain, and they assert that they will not make more than a bale to eix acres. Buyers are promptly paying for all offered. The ruling price is 6i cents to-day for middling. Many farm? ers refuse to take this, and haul their cotton home to hold for higher pri? ces. Coushatta, La., August 26.?Cotton crops are reported failing fast, on account of rust, boll worms and shedding. Cotton is opening rapidly and picking will bo gonoral next week. ? By the tenth census 23,010,000 inhab? itants of tho United States wore support? ed by agriculture, 11,520,000 by manufac? tures and 15&j0,00u by commerce. I At a Ratio of Twenty to One: Washington, August 20.?Senator VonrJiees is in receipt of the following letter from Secretary Carlisle, giving his views upon tho proposed change ot the present ratio between silver and gold to a ratio of 20 to 1: Treasury Dbpart.m knt, Office ok Secretary. Washington, D. C, Aug. I?, 1893. Hon. Daniel W. Voorheos, United States Senate. Sir: Referring to our conversation relative to the probable cost incident to tho change from tho present coining rat io between gold and silvor (1 to 10 for tho standard silvor dollar and 1 to 14 95 for subsidiary silvor) to a ratio of 1 to 20, you are respectfully informed that the num? ber of silvor dollars coined since 187S acgregates 410,332,450. Without any allowance for abrasion and loss incident to molting the same, tho coining value of these dollars, at a ratio of 1 to 20 would be $333,222,102 or ?S4,110,228 less than their present face value. To rocoin these dollars at a ratio of 1 to 20 would require an addition of 18,370,700 ounces of new bullion, which at the average price paid for silver under thu act of July 14, 1800, $0,031, would cost ?75,8S3,700. In addition to this, I estimate that there would bo a loss from abrasion and in the melting of those dollars of at least ?3,000, 000, which amount, together with the difference in tbe face valuo of the coins (?34,110,188,) would have to bo reimbursed to the Treasury by an appropriation lor that purpose. From the fact that tho silver dollars are distributed throughout tho country, it would be necessary, as tboy are redeemed at the several sub-treasuries, to transport them to the mints, and tho expense of transportation for ?300,000,000. the amount outside of the stock on hand at the sub treasuries and mints at Philadelphia, San Francisco and New Orleans, would average at least one and a half per cent., or ?4,500,000. I therefore estimate the cost of recoin ing the silver dollars already coined as follows: Now bullion, tobe added, ?75, 883,700; loss by abrasion and melting, ?3,000,000; cost of coinage (labor, mate? rials, etc.), ?0,290,000; copper for alloy, ?68,200; transportation of dollars "to mints, ?4,500,000. Total, ?89,741,000. Tho stock of subsidiary silver coin in the country is estimated at ?77,000,000, which at full weight would contain 55, 699,875 ounces of fine silvor. This ?amount, at a ratio of 1 to 20, would coiu ?55,843,882, or ?21,150,197 less than the prosent face valuo. To recoin ?77,000,000 of subsidiary silver into an equal amount of fractional coin, at a ratio of 1 to 20, would require the addition of 18,797,625 fine ounces, which at ?0.931 per lino ounce, the average price paid for silver under act of July 14, 1890, would cost ?17,528,785. There would be a loss of about 2} per cent by abrasion from the face value, or about ?1,925,000. I would therefore estimate the cost of recoinihg the subsidiary silver in the country, at a ratio of 1 to 20, as follows: New bullion, ?17,528,785; loss by abra? sion, ?1,925,000; cost of coinage, (labor, materials, etc.,) ?2,500,000; copper for alloy, ?15,636; cost of transportation, ?1, 155,000. Total, ?23,124,421. Recapitulation: Estimated cost of re coining silver dollars, ?89,741,900'; esti? mated cost of recoin ing subsidiary silver, ?23,124,421. Total, ?112,866,321. Very respectfully, J. G. Carlisle, Secretary. ? Darwin asserted that some species of trailing vines can see. T?ey always make for the nearest object around which they can twine. ? The big industries all over the coun? try, are rapidly resuming work. They Bhut down for only a few weeks, and some of them for only a few days. ' ? John Hough, of Rahway, N. J., has just received a legacy of ?1,000,000 from a Californian whom be nursed through j a spell of typhoid fever a few years ago. ? White caps at Thorpe's Station, in Ohio, a few nights ago, took Mr. James Rutherford and his wife out of bed, strapped and whipped them, and then gave them a coat of tar and feathers. The outrage was in revenge for a lawsuit prosecuted by the Rntherfords. ? Dr. Da Costa says that thousands of visitors at the World's Fair who hunt up tho nude, and go to see shocking exhi? bitions in the South Sea Islands and Af? rican quarters are mentally unbalanced. The doctor thinks that our habits, tastes and amusements indicate that the whole nation is going insane. ? Mr. James Grant, a society young man, was held up in St. Lonis the other night, stripped of all bis clothes, and tied to a Btaple in a wall in the full glare of an electric light. He was discovered by the people in a passing street car and released. Tbe conductor gave him his waterproof and he rode home rejoicing. ? It has been suggested to the police commisioners of Superior, Wis., that the police force should be equipped with bi uj-cles, and in this way one policeman could cover a much larger beat and with greater ease, which would permit of a curtailment of the force. The plan is a good one and will probably be adopt? ed. ? Edison says he can manufacture fine sapphires inexpensively, and as for ru? bies, he can produce them at ?5 a pound, and of a kind to excel tbe genuine in beauty. All this the Wizard regards as scientific recreation. Just now he is bending all his inventive faculties to the construction of a combined phonograph and kinetograph. ? An eminent medical authority, in a recent number of tue Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, maintains that coffee is a real brain food, and has tho power of absolutely increasing a man's capacity for brain work. Says he: "Opium stim? ulates tbe imagination; alcohol lifts a man np for the moment to throw him into confusion and irregularity of action, but caffeine increases his power of rea? soning, and absolutely adds to his brain work capacity for the time." ? A few physicians in the United States now distinguish between malaria and typhoid fevers, in the early stages of each, by what is esteemed an absolute? ly certain diagnosis. The blood from a pin prick upon the patient's body is smeared on a glass plate and placed un? der a microscope. If the characteristic bacillus of malaria is discovered tbe proof is taken as conclusive. "This method of diagnosis," says the New York Su7i, "will be employed more than ever this fall, as city folks aro already return? ing from the country laden with disease germs, and the knowledge of the method is spreading among physicians." ? David Jacob, of New York, owe3 it to his presence of mind that he was not frozen to death a few days ago in tbe re? frigerating room of a firm of dealers in meat. He was locked in the place by accident and knew he could not get out for an hour. While he stood thinking what to do he noticed that he was be? coming drowsy and realized that what? ever he did must be prompt. He began throwing pieces of meat from one side of the room to the other and kept up this violent exercise until the clerk who had locked him in returned from lunch. Then he fell in a faint from physical and men? tal exhaustion, but his work had saved his life. ? Governor Turney has issued a pro? clamation addressed to the people of Tennesseo concerning the recent assassi? nation of a soldier named Laugherty, and the subsequent lynching of a miner named Drummond at Briceville. He says they were cold-blooded murders and outrages that cannot be passed un? noticed. He says time, expense and la? bor will not be spared, and the perpetra? tors, who are guilty of murder in the first degree, will be hanged if the law is enforced. He declares lynching as much murder in law as killing from ambush or for tbe sake of robbery. It is as much murder to kill a felon with deliberation and premeditation as to kill in like man? ner tbe best citizen in tbe land. Ho is using every means in his reach and pow? er to locate the guilty in both cases re? ferred to, but justice and fairness will be observed and rigidly practiced, and equality before the law will be the un yiolding rule. Citizens or soldiers g?il ty of the crime shall havo justice and right administered according to law in the civil courts of the State. La Grippe. During the prevalence of the Grippe the past seasons it was a noticeable fact that those who depended upon Dr. King's New Discovery not only had a speedy recovery, but escaped all of the troublesome after effects of the malady.
