The subject of tbie notice, whose death is annouced in another place* was no ordinary man. He was the son of Wil liam McQowan who emigrated to this country from Ireland about the begin ning of this century and a brother of General Samuel McGowanof Abbeville. There were other sons and daughters who have strongly impressed themselves in the State and throughout the South. We regret that the announcement of Gapt. McGowan's death gives ub time nor space to spoak as we would like of the lessons illustrated by his strong per sonality and marked traits. His natural powers were superior; in public ques tions he was alwas interested giving to them carefnl investigation; arrived at a conclusion he was steadfast in his con sistency and unflinching in his convic tions. No man who ever lived in Lau rens had sounder viows on public ques tions. The writer knew him well and knew him to be a man. Love of his State was a passion. Ho has been gath ered to his fathers and there is only to bow to the dispensation. Ho leaves sons and daughters, among them F. P. Mc Gowan, Esq., of our city. Death of Youug Joseph G. Humbert. The death of young Josoph G. Hum bert, son of Gapt. J. B. Humbert at his home in this county on the 28th of July is a peculiarly sad ailliction. He was just verging to man's estate and in the midst of his college career, giving tho highest promise of a bright and useful manhood. Tho blow is peculiarly bo vere in that but a short period past Capt. and Mrs. Humbert lost another splendid young son. It will be consola tion to the afilicted parents to know that they have the deepest sympathy of their* very many friends. Picnic at V/liaiu's Lawn.

Our community was shocked to learn that Capt. John J. McGowan had died at his home on the 31st ultimo of ap poplexy. Capt. McGowan was a life-long valuable and public spirited citizen, a de voted father, (having lost the partner of his life a few years ago) a kind neigh bor and highly respected by all who know him. In early manhood ho served in a campaign with a Laurons company against the Seminoles in Florida, and though advanced in life promptly in '01 was among tho first to offer his services in defonce of his State and her honor.? Hostilities ended he resumed the peace ful avocation of a farmer, in which he delighted, devoting himself to his fam ily, his neighbors and every good and noble cause. In the fulness of years, having nearly completed four score, like a shock of wheat fully ripe ho was gathered into the garner. He leaves a large family and many friends to mourn their loss, SCAIDI, Jamieson's is the place to buy a good Ishoo or slipper cheap.

The question has often been asked and an swered, but there are many who do not know. "Free coinage" means tho coinage, by the government, of bullion into money free of charge. Our na tion now has freo coinage of gold; and one may take gold to the mint and have it coinod into gold dollars, tho only charge being made for the alloy (copper) put In the dollar to make It hard. "The ratio of sixteen to one" means that there shall bo sixteen times as much silver In a silver dollar as there is gold In a gold dollar. The ratio Is baaed upon the presumption that gold Is sixteen times more valua ble than silver; or would be if the na tion adopted free coinago of silver, thus giving it an equal chance with gold. The Biblical Recorder, from which tho above paragraph is taken, says: "We have given more thought to this question in the last three years than to any other." f f this is so, our contempory ought to be able to give a more intelligent account of free coinage than is contained in this extract. The editor quoted confounds free and gratuitous coin age. "Freo coinage exists where any owner of bullion has the right to have it coined on tho same terms as the government, whether with or without a seigniorage charge." Honne there may be free coinage whore there is a seigniorage, or charge for coinage. Gratuitous coinage means that no seigniorage is charged for tho work of coining, I. o., the mint value and tho bullion valuo of the coins are the same. Hence also there may bo gratuitous coinago where free coinage does not exist, that is, only a limited amount of bullion may bo admitted to the mint and coined gratuitously. Free coinage of silver might mean, therefore, any one of several things, gratuitous limited coinage, free and unlimited coinage, or gratuit ous and unlimited coinage. As a matter of fact, in present discus sions on the subject, it signifies the latter, i.e., there is to be no seignior age charge and the profits arising from converting bullion into money are to belong to tho owner of the bul lion, and on thoothor hand,'nolimit is tobe fixed to the amount of bullion admitted to the mints; tho mint's mechanical capacity being the only limit to tho volume oi silver coin. This is tho doctrino of "free coinago of silver" as advocated at present by a great many people. The other point as to the ratio, sixteen to one, does not mean that gold is sixteen times as valuable as silvqr, or that silver is one-six teeth as valuable as gold, but that governmental flat can establish this ratio of valuo and maintain it. This is really the gist of the ques tion in dispute. Thoso who believe In the omnipotence of government settle it in one way; those who be lieve that governments do not create economic laws, but are rig idly subject to them, settle it in an other way. Tho question is before tho poople of the United States, and beforo they venturo to cast their votes they should study the question. If the voter does not study tho subject he is not morally competent to vote. For this is, to some extent, a moral issue. Let the poople seek light on this subject and that not from demagogues, hut from, those who havo studied tho subject. Thoro are somo who havo studied It for more than "three years."?The Baptist Cou rier. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications asthoy can. not reach the diseased portion of the car.
