An invitation . has been extended to the bankers of the south by the Atlanta Clearing House association to meet in Atlanta December 15, for the purpose of organizing for the discussion of currency reform. The following resolutions state the object of the meetings: The Resolutions. •‘Believing that the time has come for southern bankers to successfully de mand better banking facilities from the congress of the United States, we, the bankers of Atlanta, constituting the Atlant* Clearing House association, hereby invite the bankers of the south to meet us in convention on December 15, 1897, for the purpose of originating and perfecting plans for the accomplish ment of suoh currency reformation as will— “1. Take the banking business out of politics. ••2. Take the government out of thtf banking business* , “3. Avoid the expense and danger always attendant upon flat money is sues. • '4. To demonstrate to the world that the credit of the United States is as high as that of any other nation. “5. To demonstrate that our meas ure of value beit-g definitely determined and permanently established hundreds of millions of dollars from abroad and at home will seek investment here, ‘ 6. To keep every dollar of our cur rency good enough to pass current in every land. “7. To increase the amount of gold and silver in circulation among all our people abroad. • ‘B. To give smaller towns the advan tage of better banking facilities, so that every honest man will have meted out to him the credit he is entitled to. ■‘9. To give producers of every kind and in every section ample currency at reasonable rates of interest to handle and hold their crops of manufactures until they desire to dispose of them. “10. To give lower and equalized rates of interest throughout the United States. “11. To reduce our eight different kinds of money to only two—specie and bank notes. •‘ 12.

To prevent bank panics and cur rency famines, “Resolved, That it is the sense of this association that each state of the south should join in the agitation for the accomplishment of the above result, that southern state send two dele gates to Washington to work for this * *and under the direction of the organiza tion of southern bankers now proposed* with the American Bankers’ associa tion, and such other financial organiza tions as are seeking a readjustment of our national finances and currency re forms. ’ ’ It is easy to catch a cold and just as easy to get rid of it if you com mence early to use One Minutes Cough • Cure.

Dickerson Committee H»d to fShell Out to Train Crew. There is a good story going the rounds in Atlanta and one which goes to show that the science of train-robbing is a progressive one. The Dickerson com mittee of the house has just returned from the inspection of a convict camp in the vicinity of the Okeefeenokee swamp. The committee consisted of Represent atives Henderson of DeKalb, Boynton of Calhoun, Ennis of Floyd, Thomas of Ware, Burwell of Hancock. Craig of Bibb, Sell of Jackson, McKee of Daw im, Bowden of Habersham, Bond of Madison, Cannon of Rockdale, Cook of Oconee, Duncan of Lee. Oaks of White and several attaches of the house, among whom was.F, Z. Curry, a clerk to the generally judiciary committee. The committee, after leaving Atlanta, had debarked at Boulogne. The camp was distant about twenty-six miles. They took a train over a little line of railroad owned by the Brooks brothers, and which had been built merely for the purpose of reaching the camp. They made the journey without anything of moment occurring on the trip and spent the day at the camp. They had been in vited to use the train. When the time came for their return they found them selves provided with a box oar without seats and the twenty members braced themselves against the walls of the oar and made themselves as comfortable as possible under the disagreeable circum stances. After the train had proceeded thirteen or fourteen miles on th trip and had reached a point midway be tween the camp and Boulogne, in the heart of the veritable wilderness, the train suddenly stopped and the firemen, engineer and conductor came back to the car and demanded $1.50 from each passenger. The members of the commit tee at first refused to pay and made the air blue with denunciation of the out rage. The crew insisted upon the payment and threatened to leave the ear stand in the woods unless the forty dollars was forthcoming. Nobody in the party had a weapon, and what was worse, nobody knew how to run the engine, otherwise the crew would have been overpowered and the train moved on. The result was that each mem ber came down with his dust. The train, however, had only proceeded a little way when it again stopped, the crew coniing back and demanding seven dollars more. Again was there furious protest, but again the com mittee had to comply. What added to the misery of the occasion was the thought that the crew had waited before holding up the party until the train had crossed an intersecting line' and left it far be hind before making their demand. It was, therefore, a very angry commit tee which appeared in the house this morning, and the members are de termined upon reprisal. They have already directed an attorney to file suit for punitive damage against the Brooks brothers and to undertake the prosecution of the conductor, engineer and fireman for extortion and forci ble detainer.

THURSDAY DECEMBER 2, Tbe Retired Burglar. “I don’t think I was ever very much J scared,” said the retired burglar, “but I have been as much scared by slight, little things, that were of no real ac count, as by anything else. For in- I stance,, by the scratching of a rat, start ing up suddenly and running around in the wall. I was never more disturbed than I was once by the absolute still ness of a room that I was in. It was dead and oppressive, and I couldn’t ac count for it. “I swung my lamp around and saw the usual things that you might expect to see in .such a room—it was a dining room—including a clock on the mantel. It was a pendulum clock, one of the kind that has a little clear space in the lower part of the glass front, through which you can see the pendulum as it swings back and forth. The lamp sim ply swept across the face of the clock, as I swung it around, but an instant later I realized that I had seen no pen-- dulum swinging back and forth behind that clear space. It wasn’t swinging. The clock had stopped. "I set my lamp on the shelf and opened the door of the clock and started up the pendulum, and then I heard the regular ticking of the clock. And that was all that was wanted. But what a relief it was to hear it! I could sort out the spoons now with a cheerful spirit.” —New York Sun. Small pill, safe pill, best pill.

WEST COMPANY, CHICAGO, ILL. For sale by Curry Arrington Co wholesale druggists, Rome, Ga, The Charm of the Poppiaa. Very ancient is the history of the pop py. It was. wreathed with the lotus in Egypt aud twined with thyme and pars ley in Greece. It was also one of the flowers dedicated to Venus, and the witches who wrought their spells aud muttered their incantations on the mountain tops cast into their brew the horned leaves. It was early recognized that the pop py in its simplest form is one of the most decorative of flowers. Its simplest form is, of course, the wild flower of four petals. It is treated decoratively in a number of ways, either as a flat de sign of the lifted cup or as a conven tional representation of the four petals encircling the receptacle or as the stem upholding the domelike and sometimes strongly ridged seed pod; but, after all, the most marvelous artistic suggestions are found in the sharply outlined leaves which rise to slender Gothic points. These serve as models of leaf design and. were carved boldly and delicately in the stone of ancient cathedrals. There is always something artificial in the appearance of the cultivated pop pies. They lack the stability or reality and ever suggest the gypsy masquerad ing as the princess. Poppies, with very few exceptions, are not in the least difficult to grow. Seed sown in the fall or spring will produce plants that flower all summer. They do not demand an enriched soil and profuse watering, but grow in an independent, careless fashion that is a relief after an experience of the exac tion of some plants.—Nancy M. Waddle in Godey’s Magazine. J. M.
