A year or two ago the Southern Building
and I,<».hi .iSßuciaiion, of Knoxville, said
to lie tile larget.l and most prosperous ill
tne l nie.l Suu.i, wan placed iu tue uauds
01 a receiver because some individual
slochbohlias di<i not like tne way things
were running, lu all probability the as
sociation comd have demonstrated its soi
v> m y had n been allowed to continue it*
bu.siuews in ale ordinary way. Bui it wan
like a i uu on a bank; me moment tue sig
nal was given others rushed in io gel their
snare ol the plunder.
The lig.d iratei'uity, ot course, regarded
it .I? a least especially pr< pared tor them,
and they pounced upon it win the prover*
ibial alaiTiiy in sued matters. And what
was the result.' Why Hie Southern Build
ing and Loan Association h.is already six
ice.ivers. In each stale in which 11 has
assets iiid stockholders, and there are
twenty odd states, it is very probable the
stale courts will have some appointee to
whom to allow a good, round compensa
tion. 'l lie proceedings by which the asso
ciation w.is thrown into a receivership will
no doubt net the attorneys concerned thou
sands <>r dollars. The cost ot administra
tion has already reached a sum that
threat! ns to drain the assets to the dregs
unit leave lite stoekliolde.rs a small reldue.
'1 his expeivse might have been in part
avoided, ir the 1 ec< 1 versiiip bad been under
tile federal court alone, but this did not
suit tile lawyers. They, all wanted their
sliaro. 11 was to fat a prize to turn over
to a few lawyers al the company’s head
quarters. it should be seatie.red around
among the hungry horde iu every stale
where tlio company did business.
, Amt thus has one of liio largest bus
iness institutions in the South been utter
ly wrecked and looted ail through the ra
pacious greed of a f«r.’ lawyers.
As to Revenue Stamps.
Secretary Gage ealed upon congress to
post one the eni i iv n-.H ■) die a l)l‘siVr
stamp ix featur of 11> • *«• revenue law
until July id in order to give the treasury
department Limo’ to have tihe stamps
printed rind di tnbuled. Congress refused
to grant the request. tearing that If the
attempt at post | tone inent was made the
entire tariff question might be reopened.
Secretary Gage has proven himslf equal
to the emergency. He proposes to use
postage stamps for revenue tax purposes
until a sufficient supply of revenue stamps
can be provided. In order to make use ot
the postage stamps as revenue it was
found necessary to place a distinguishing
mark upon them , and all such stamps
will bmr the imprint “I. .11.," to Indicate
that they are sold for revenue stamps.
This distinction is important, and should
be noted by all. It should be clearly un
derstood that the ordinary postage stamps
cannot be used as revenue stamps, nor
can iHistage stamps bearing the imprint
"1. R. be used for poostal purposes. The
use of the improvised stamps will be dis
continued as soon as a sufficient supply
of the regular internal revenue stamps has
been obtained.
A Notable Fourth.
The Fourth of July celebration in Ma
con will be a notable event. Everybody
Beeins to be embued with the idea of mak
ing a monster demonstration on that day.
Indeed, that day ds to be more generally
observed in the South than ever before,
emphasising the patriotic sentiment which
pervade* the country at Chis time, while
the United States is at war with a foreign
nation.
Governor Atkinson’s proclamation has
the right ring, and it is to be hoped that
everyone will respend to the call for a no
table celebration of t>be nation’s birthday.
Governor Atkinson recommended that the
county and city authorities throughout the
state cause the publip buildings in their
care to be decorated with the emblems of
the notional sovereignty, and that the pri
vate citizen at his gateway, or even the
portals of his home, suspend the stars and
•tripes—mute tetimonial of his love of
country. • iRe further recommends that all
business houses closed their doors at least
a part of the day. and that the people ot
each community assemble at some desig
nated place and renew their patriotism by
listening to the story of the nation “that
si blazing out the way upon which all t>he
nations ot the earth will come in God's
appointed time.
Regulations of the Suez.
Now that Admiral Camara’s fleet is at
the entrance to the Suae Canal threaten
ing to sail through to the Philippine Is
lands, the regulations governing this Im
portant waterway are of Interest, remarks
and exchange. The popular impression
that warships cannot enter the canal
■while on a hostile mission, is erroneous.
Under the terms of a convention made in
18SS there will be no difficulty about the
Spanish fleet passing through it the gov
ernment can pay the tonnage and passen
ger dues, tor it was then agreed that the
canal should kept neutral at all times, that
no part of it or of its ports should be for
tified. and that war material and ships of
war should have the right to go
at all times, whether the countries to
which they belonged were at peace or at
war. -
The canal tolls in 1596 were 9 francs a
ton for laden passenger or cargo ships or
war vessels; 6 francs and 50 centimes a
ton for ships sci ballast and without pas
engers, and 10 francs for each adult pas
senger; children half price: Ships of war
end regular mail steamers usually get cer
tain reductions from the regular rate*.
The total tonnage of the Spanish ships
In Camara’s fleet is about 40,000 tons. If
the number of troops on the transports
* and warships comes to 10,000 men. the
tolls at full commercial rates would come
to 460,000 francs, of $87,400. Spain must,
therefore, pay this sum before its ships
s*n enter Suez.
The Bankruptcy Bill.
The existing war has brought th’e mem
bers of congress to a realizing sense that
too much time has been frittered away in
useless talk for political effect, and that
the real business of the nation has suf
fered, observes the Toledo Blade. For
years an annual effort has been made to
enact a bankruptcy law. Hitherto each
has ended in failure. Now. under quicken
ed sense of responsibility, the conference
committee has reached an agreement, and
the probability is that the measure will
become a law.
The bone of contc-ntion hitherto has
been the provision for involuntary bank
ruptcy. This has been gotten over by a
prevision that no person can be declared
a bankrupt unless he is “inswlvewt,” and
the law defines this anew. Hitherto a
man has been considered insolvent when
!»• acct not nay a 1 -b’ w.ien it becomes
due The new definition is ttiat a man is
insolvent only when his property, at a
fair valuation, is not sufficient. to pay his
debts.
This protects mm temporarily embar
rassed, and who need only a little time to
pull through. It protects them from an
over-anxious creditor’s refusal to grant
•Luc. The bill aw agro?.! upon by the
conferrees provides for involuntary bank
ruptcy in these five cases:
1- When a man has" disposed of his
property with intent to defraud.
2- Where he has dispose 1 of his prop
erty to one or more creditors wir.n intent
to give a preference t<- them
3- he has given preference
through legal proceedings.
4- a man has made a voluntary
ass enn.cnt for benefit of his creditors
gen -ally; aul,
5 - Where a m-.n admit' p. writing that
h> l« bankrupt.
No honre.t man can object to these pro
visions. A national bankruptcy law is ur
gently n<eded, ami it is to he hoped con
gress will enact this measure.
Spain's Troubles Increase.
The plan to send a fleet to Hie coast of
Spain is a strategic au l events musl
determine bow tar it is justifiable. 4t
may be hi the nature of a blurt io cause
Spain to recall the fleet with which Ad
miral Camara is supposed to be proceed
ing io -.tie Philippines. This theory is
strengthened by the fact that the govern
ment seems so ready to have Spain know
of the plan.
Ibe move shows lie M.rir.gih of the posi
tion of the United States al any rate. We
are able not only to maintain tiie Cuban
blockade, to keep a large fleet of vessels
at Santiago and to have a naval force of
considerable strength at Manila, but we
can also send over to Spain if we wish a
tieet which can cope with anything Spain
now possesses in the way of a navy not
excluding Admiral Camara's squadron.
Cervera’s ships, of course, are Spain's no
l.'iigei. as a matt»r m l.re-t. Th< y wili be
ours in a short time unless their com
mander destroys them.
Meantime matters .go from bad to worse
in Spain, the condition of the people
grows more and more desperate, the trou
bles of the government increase and it
would seem as if this must increase the
numbers of the peace party. In Havana,
too, things are rapidly approaching a cri
sis and revolt and anarchy seem to be im
minent in the Cuban capital.
Questions.
A new York Advertiser man asks ad
vertisers to ask themselves these ques
tions:
l>o you change your copy as often as
you should?
•l»o you crowd your ads until they have
no good effect?
Do you use prices so people can get a
definite idea of what they have to pay?
Do you recognize enough the importance
of bringing out the name of the article
and the price strongly?
Do you ever think of the impression an
ad is likely to make?
Do you study type styles and keep up
with the modern ideas?
Do you take as much pride in your work
as you should?
Do you study the goods you are adver
tising from the standpoint of a customer?
Do you aim to always 'tell the truth in
your ads?
Do you study the methods of your com
petitors?
Do you try as hard as you can to trace
returns from all mediums?
•k> you knew what percentage of the
business done you spend for advertising?
Under a commission from the governor
as captain of the new regiment of Georgia
volunteers, Captain W. W. Davis, of At
lanta, is appealing to the Sons of Confed
erate Veterans to join his company now
organizing in Atlanta. He has the honor
of being the state commander of the Sons
of Veterans for Georgia, and in going to
the front desires to appeal to these sons
for enlistinetn in his company. They will
go as a company of stalwart and patriotic
young men seeking to exemjlify a truly
loyal flag to our flag and country. Cap
tain Davis’ recruiting office is 18 Kimball
'House, Atlanta, and he solicits the enlist
ment of all Sons of Confederate Veterans.
The tax on bank checks is only 2 cents,
but it is evidently going to be of considera
ble influence. It will raise quite a neat
revenue for the government and it will de
crease the number of small checks drawn.
A contributor to the -New York HeraW
says that it will lead to the payment of
small sums in money, Instead of checks,
and that the demand for money with which
to pay these little sums will be no less
than $30,000,OIK) per day.
The rush of war dispatches seems to
have delayed the usual news of the fail
ure of the Georgia peach crop, says the
Birmingham' News. Don’t despair; the
Georgia peach crop Will be on the move in
earnest next week.
Os the 633 commissioned officers oppoin
ted in the volunteer army, 400 are said to
be civilians who lande-d through political
influence.
An exchange thinks that Camara got a
well developed negative from the Egyptian

“‘T’
Not That .Tefferson.
A party from Philadelphia and other
Pennsylvania towns was being escorted
through the capitol yesterday by a guide
who evinced an earnest effort to show the
strangers all the points of interest. They
had passed through the rotunda and Stat
uary hall and had made their way to the
east corridor of the house.
‘•Here. " said the guide, "is perhaps the
most perfect statue of Jefferson in the
world" —
"Are you <■ rtaln that is Jefferson?” in
quired a blond of 80 as she gazed intently
at the statue
• ‘ Yes, n la'um, that ’s Jefferson all right, ”
replied the g.iiile,
"My. how he has changed since I saw
him." the blond exclaimed.
"Sh ce you saw him," ejaculated the
amazed guide, turning to the gL-i As 20.
"Why, yes. 1 saw him last winter at
the Chestnut. Stnvt theater in Rip Van
Winkle, ’ and he didn’t look bit like this. ’’
The girl did not smile. She seemed as
serious as an undertaker. The guide felt
emiMirrassed. The silence that, prevailed
for a moment was gently broken by the
Philadelphia girl, who earnestly and with
a low voice inquin-d:
"When did he die?”
But the guide hiul moved on and he
made no reply.—Washington Times.
A New Phrase.
But speaking of p»-ople who are not as
intelligent as the law allows, I heard an
old colored woman use an expression tho
other day that was new to me and so pat
that it would be interesting to know its
origin. She had a young girl with her,
and some especially stupid renfhrk of the
girl’s had annoyed her. She looked at her
in disgust.
"Well," said she, "you certainly ought
to be tapped for the simples.”—Waaiung

MAY SUE THEM
FOR USURY.
One Wav the Negroes Can
Get Rid of the Loan Of
fice Nuisance.
The News had had something to say
about the iniquitous methods ot the loau
broKers who rob the negroes of Macon.
Tne last grand jury took the mailer up
trum the .xews aud condemned tue prac
tice. The toiiowiug from tue bavanuah
Morning News will show that there is a
v.ay out ot the diiticuliy. Tue law does
nui reach these loan attairs hut a suit lor
Usury will relieve the negio. The -\ew,s
one of the most remarkable suits re
cently uroubbt hi Ghauiam county is now
pending beiore Justice J. K. tiaussy, Jr.,
of ihe fourth nuiitia district, it is a suit
lor usury, tne case being one where a
negro borrowed 4G.06 from a loan broker
in ibJo, and has since paid him $84.09, and
the broker still claims a balance due of
$1«.
rhe way in which this state of affairs is
brought about is a remarkable one, and
yet simple, ft is done simply by charging
40 pci cent, per month interest, or there
abouts.
James Brown borrowed $6.06 (from >H. L.
Drake <t Co. in 1895. As a matter of fact,
however, he received only $5, the $1.06 be
. i in.t.giU lor uiuwing up in*.- pa pc is
and negotiating .the loan. It was charged
however, with the original amount bor
ro wed.
Since he borrowed the money Brown
has paid lo the concern $84.99, iu amounts
laiiging from 50 cents to $3 and he has
every receipt given him fer these pay
ments. Brown got tired of paying in his
money so regularly and it looked as if
there would never be an end to the thing.
This set him to thinking and he finally
learned that there was such a thing in
Georgia as a law against usury.
The Georgia law against usury, how
ev< i. permits the party aggrieved to bring
suit only within a year from the time the
usury was charged and collected. Brown
Lull. II’ 1 !. , call ;>Ut Ulll) lor Lire IllUf.a lie
has paid in during the last year. He got
all ol his receipts together and a state
ment of the account was made out show
ing that he had paid $28.50 usurious inter
est within the last year and that is the
amount he is now suing for.
It is stated ujion good authority that
twenty-six suits have recently been filed
against this money brokerage concern,
and they have settled every one of
them rather than let them go through the
courts. When the time comes for the
payment of the interest the ignorant bor
rower shuffles* around and manages to get
it, for if he does not the corner money
broker leveies on his little goods and chat
ties through some justice court, and that
is the end of him, as a usual thing.
It appears, however, that some of the
ignorant class are becoming enlightened
on the subject, and the chances are that
the 40 per cent, a month money .broker
will not have so easy a road to travel af
ter a while. Suits for usury are becom
ing more frequent, and they will no doubt
continue to increase as the small borrower

About one month ago my child, which is
fifteen months old, had an atack of diar

it such remedies as are usually given in
such eases, but as nothing gave relief, we
sent Tor a physician and it was under his

having about twenty-five operations of tin

convinced that unless it soon obtained re

well as a poor one opeeated by more skillfull hands. The

not great, it uses little ice and freezes in less time than any
other. Strong and durable. With and without wheel.
From 2to 20 quart. Abd while on this cold subject let us
remine our customers that we have Ice Picks, Ice Shavers
North Star Refrigerators and many other ice goods at
moderate prices.

cian, fit you with a pair of neat glasses that will
relieve the strain and stop the “hurting.” No
charge for examinations and the glasses only
cost SI.OO and up.
