Among the banks In Wall street the
failure is rogarded as dle to a gradual
decline in business. Th -im's cr'edit
for the last five years has been badly
impaired, and it is understood that
very little if any of the firIm's single
nameiiC paper' is out. The [irlm has been
taking stock for several weeks past
aid recenty' was understood to have
I'eei vCd about, $7>,000 which has been
us.ed in reducing the liabilities of the
Iirm. It, Is reported that Siegel, Coop
er % Co. will Work over the stock of
hlilton, 1ughes & Co.
The assignient was miade by Albert
B. liltol who Composes the firmt. No
statement has yet been made as to the
aijount of liabilities and assets.

A. T. Stewart died with an indivmd
ual estate estimated. at $80,000),000,
Tihe present Manhattan club, at the
cor net' if F4ifth avenue atnd Thirty
fontrth sitreet, is pointed out today as
Stewar't's muagnificent palace. Ti
building wast his residene for the few
yoars prlor' to his death and was fur
flbihd with lavish expenili\tltuo, One

was placed in position, and was' woven
expressly for Mr., Stewart and cost $25,
000. Other furnishings were in the
same degree of expOnlituro.
Since the death of the owner the
palatial residenco was leased by the
club now tonanted there and it ie con
sidered ono of tho most beautiful club
houses In Now York. The Manhattan
is a powerful Deomocratio organization
and contains oni its memnbershi p ro~lls
the names of many of the wealthiest
mon in Now York.
Judge Hilton, who succeeded to the
business of A. T. Stewart & co., was
the confidential attorney for Mr. Stow
art, for many years prior to his death.
The vast estate was plractically mian
aged by his lawyer and at the death
of the millionaire a will was left be
g oathing the larger part of his estate
to Judge iilton after the death of
Mrs. Stewart. It was in this way that
he calie in possession of the great dry
goods butiness, though lie practically
managed the financial und of that. also
for years beforO Stewart died and af
torwards until he could claim the
property as his own.
The business has been losing its
former hold upon Now York's elite
patronage for yours. One reason as
cribed was tie hostility shown by
.1udge liilton to the Hebrews.
It is reimeinbered that when Stewart
built his palatial hotel at Aong Branch,
an order was issued by liilton, his
manager, the day it was thri-own open1
to the public that "no Jew can enter
here." The order called down upon
the head of tbm lawyor-tinancii-r the an
tagonisi of a strong and wealthy Ole
mlent. It is Clhimed that this patron
age was i mmevdiately cut off f rom the
dry goodls business and ha.i been one of
thu factors in bringing failure to what
Wits conisidered the riellebt lirI in
A merita.
J udge liilton ownus a luagn iflicen t
home at Saratoga and he is personal ly
coltsidered a man with millions. The
fail ur l has ci-eated a tremenLIous sUIr
prise, though itl has been known for
seve-al wOks inl close financial cirCles

A NEW1 KIND OF ItEPUBLIc.
A Government "or io Chiliren, 'oa
tho Children, by the Clildren,"
With all the int1itultIOns of' a Well
Or'deied State.
Prof. J. A. Gainewell in the S. '. Advocate.
A farm near Treoville, N. Y., con
tains all the territory of this completo
little Htopublic and its citizens are boys
and girls from the slums of Now York
City. The founder and president is
Mr. Willian It. George, who has for
years given aL his tine to the interests
of this noble littlo coinoionwealth.
Tho sending of poor children to the
country for a few weeks during the
summor has interested good people for
a long thno, but no one has ever put
Into operation the plan which Mr.
George has so faithfully and success
fully carried out. His idea is to com
bino with country life and recreation,
eiployment and iilpOVOemnt and in
this way to send the child ba_-k to the
city noro intelligent and improved
morally as well as atdo stronger by
new scenes and fr'esih air. At first he
tried to ianago these )id tnid rough
boys and girls by himself andl he told
ine that in one day ho thrashed thirty
two. After careful ex periineut he con
cluded that the hetter method would
be to lot themn contirol theniselve, and
thus to teach then many duties of a
cit.izuri. Now these young people make
and execute their own laws, *l r. George
having a veto power Which he slildoil
uses. The basal principles of thu gJov
eminent is that every citizen inust
earn by some Icind of work a living,
the kind of living depending on skill,
thrift tnd industry. lLih one is coim
plled to look out for himself and at
tie same time contriblt soinething
to the con1non interest. Industry anId

TyPiolid Fever and Chills.
iCditor of the Mountainleer:
I laVe 8n11143 inforination which Is of
groat ValU(l tliat I desire to give ito the
readers of Tii. :MOUNTA IN .:.;, id for
which ther will be absolutely n1o
char ge.
I t ka a well known fact that there has
been 'an unusual numlber ol cases of
typhoid fever In G'enviile 1, ti the
sui rounding country douring the pt(r
cut sulimor. Now it is not tmy p)OI'purpo
to try to toll how to treat this dread
(lisease, because in- the firit ph!'eo I am
no doctor, anti second becautc I dfontl
know, but I can tell how to prevent it
In future, and a proventativo is said to
be better than a curo. The recipve I
)'o)oso to givO is So s1imDple) that I fear
tuany who might otborwise take steps
to ward oil t,he disease will inore it.
This, however, is not moy fault, and ,-o
here goes:
Let every citizon, both here and in
the county, plant a largo nmber of
sillower seed in ihis yard and garden
antid thete will bet no moro fever. Tite
pbinlt will absorb the fever-producing
fumes, or to ierhobes. 'he experinient
will not, CoAt anything and may save
iltty valbl lliavCtS. not, to mention
pLin, s ferii, titine a l( casI. Get
your seed now. If there is none on your
place apply to somo neighbor who has
them, and plant them carly next
ipring.

Ilie UQestion of Rebates Will Not Down,
MIXSON ON HUB3BIRlAL.
E'vidlnceo of Tall and Premedlitated
Lying-Commissioner MIxson and
)is Nephev Flatly Contrattict Mr.
liu1bbell.
1 (lie lditor of The State:
Mr. Hubbell says in reference to me
in your issue of yesterday : " Every
word he says about my offering him a
rebate. directly or indirectly, of any
amounit, or- in any shapO, or at anly
time, is ab~solutoly false from begitning
to end." Yet he does not deny the 1h
terview in the saiple room nor my
statement of what occured there.
Should he do so and w hon he does, then
lie is the liar that I have already
branded him in such event.
I now go furnther and say when the
offer of the 10 per Cent, discoulit WAS
iado in the privacy of the sample
rumn, (he having previously so peron
torily refused to give uo the 5 por
cent. olf) I looked utpon it with suspi
cion and hence tihe question, " Will you
let it, appear regularly on, the invoices?"
Upon his declining to do so and throw
ing himself behind the " trust " I was
fulliy satislied what his meaning was
and conseq ucntly declined to deal with
him and have never done so.
I the cmatteri of interest, my letter
should have read, interest being paid
after ;io days in place of .30 days as statL
Ud. i now say that his invoices for all
goods h)bear upon their face "interest
after 6i days at 6 per cent. per tin num,
except on the XXX ryes which he bill
at $2.25 per gallon, four months.
You must understand that the quait
ity of X X N Iyes is very smll indeed ii
comparison w ith the iuantity of thi
other, which was billett on the 60 day.
tLile.
Altir assumling the duties of couiis
sionor a draft come in from Mr. Hub
boll's comipany claiming a balanceof in
LUcreSt due them. As Mr. 'Iraixler hait
nlot returu any amount, due theim al
such, I I'Cfused to pay for sone time
and did not, do so until I h1ad Mr. Ilub
bell to conme out and had Mr. Traxler to
Mo u'Cl the accourt witi lily bookkeep
er-, Mr. S. W. Scruggs, who was soot
convinced that there was an accumulat
Ott interebt from partial payments of ate
,ount due them amounting to $1,255,3
for wIh ich amaount I issued a warrant of
tile Stato ,rLeasurer, Mr. Traxler agree
ng to the samle, wih ic h I now - have it
any ollice in writing.
lE'ven if M v. .I1u)bell did not intend
my pultting the return "case from thc
10 per cent. offered, in try own pockel
as is so religiously claimed, tie Cor
ainly ofiered to act, must i say in bat
faith Iin trying to beat and deceivo the
" trust of w 11 ich he is an honoret
ileimber aind I an informed an ollicer,
and in doil.- so he laid himself open tc
be adj udged capable of making any
kind of a proposition. As to the part
of his letter which states 'an agent 01
his called on me with a letter of in
troduction," the only party to whom I
gave at ett or of introduoct ion Was to
Mr. Robt. M. Mixson under the follow

About the time I asisumned the duties
of thie ollice Ml r. M. Mixson. aL nephow

Louis ,'illo and Nashville i'aulroadl. An;
thing you cain (1( for' hIm will be api
pr'eiated by yours respectfully, 1". MI
Mixeon."
I secured this letter for the rocasoi
that I was anxious to haul all of th<
shipments foi' the Mill Crook Distillinj
Company, having been hiauling only
potioni of same under Mr. Traxlcar.
maIled this letter' to Mr. Hubbell, stat
lng that I would lIke to meet him o:
hits next visit to this terr'itoiry. Mr
Hlubboll replied that ho would notif;
me when lie next cami to Gleorgia o
South Car molina. VinudIig that I wa
losing his Maicon shilpmentsi also,
wir'ed him that I was anxions to so,
him, and to please wir'o me deaid-hea<
ainswerl when lie would be down.
I Ii nal ly mout Mr'. HuiibbellI or. one o
my regular' visits to Macon, and had a
nice talk with him relative to freight
and( other' things. During thiIs eon
vorsaition Mr. Hubbell made me a prop
uisitioni to r'epr'osenlt the NIill Creci
D)istill ing Comnpac y In South Cai olina
and ollored to pay me 50 cents per' bar
rol on whiskey I would soll to th<
ou th Carolina. dispnmanr'.
This went on for some months, when
I met him at the Planters Uotel, Au
gusta, on his way to Columbia S. C.
He then increased his offer to $Q.00 for
ono X, $2.00 for two, XX and $3.00 for
XXX. He went on-to Columbia, and
on Saturday afternoon of same wt.ek
he wired me to meet. him Sunday af.
ternoon following at the Plantors Ho
tel, Augusta. I was in Augusta, and
met him. lie informed me that he
had haI a settloment in full with the
dispensary and had concluiled to abar -
doi their business; that it was too
risky, and therefore had asked me to
incet him so that he could withdraw
1i4 proposition.
The foregoing propositions were
made to ie individually, and not as
agent for anybody else.
Your truly,
R. M. AllXSON.
