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.

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 government. c?AJS»Tom.zv. Bears the K"” 1 YOU Ha * 6 A!WayS “‘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 sou Post. feOV/fJ miii WHS POWDER Absolutely Pure 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 CASTOIIIA.
