Newton County Day.
Newton county is to have a
at the Atlanta exposition.
It will be next Tuesday,
; of November.
Through the efforts of Mrs. W.
C. Clark, of Covington, the mana¬
gers of the exposition have desig¬
nated the 19th inst. as Newton
county day, and everybody is cor
dially invited to go up at that time
and help to make it a great success
for our county.
I he 19th will also be Georgia
day at the exposition, and the leg¬
islature will adjourn and go out in
a body.
The exercises will be held at the
auditorium, and will be highly in¬
teresting to all Georgians.
The Newton county feature of
the day should especially be made
a success.
The Newton county window has
been completed, and is now placed
in the Georgia state building, and
will be dedicated on that day. It
is a beautiful piece of work of ar
tistic design, and will attract much
attention at the exposition.
The ladies having the work in
charge are due much credit for
their success in the matter.
Special rates have been applied
for, 011 the Georgia railroad, lor
Newton county day, and’we hope
everybody will ^o.

Why This Change ?
The following extracts are from
a speech delivered by Secretary
Carlisle in con ;ress in 1878, and
| embodies the views held by’ the
secretary on the coinage question
until he accepted a cabinet posi
tion :
‘‘I know the world’s stock of
precious metals is none too large,
ancI I see no reason to apprehend
that it will ever become so. Man
i kind will lx? fortunate indeed ifthe
annual production of the gold and
silver coin shall keep pace with the
annual increase of population com
meree, and industry, According
to my view of the subject, the
conspiracy which seems to have
been formed here and in Europe to
destroy by legislation and other¬
j wise from three-sevenths to one
half of the metallic money of the
world is the most gigantic crime of
this or any other age.
t * The eonsumation of such a
scheme c „u mo would ultimately ... . . entail
. the human
more misery upon race
than all the wars, pestilence and
famine that ever occurred in the
history of the world. The abso

merce, while it would be felt more
sensibly at the moment, would not
produce anything like the prolong¬
ed distress and disorganization of
society that must inevitably result
from the permanent annihilation of
one-half of the metallic money of
the world. With an ample cur¬
rency, an industrious and frugal
people will speedily rebuild their
works of internal improvement
and repair losses of property, but

“I a »i in favor of every practica¬

that will have a tendency to defeat

great crime, and I am also in favor
of every practicable and constitu¬
tional measure that will aid us in
devising a just and permanent ra- j
tio of value between the two met
als, so that they may circulate
side by side and not alternately
drive each other into exile from
one country to another. Our ratio,
as recognized by the present

Referring to newspaper
of speeches and interviews, I will

made by me recently in Chicago
about her majesty’s government
and people. I have not been in
Chicago since May 30, and when
there made no criticism of that
government, nor even mentioned
it, nor was it at any time in inv
thoughts. I did say recently at
Chattanooga, that we should care

The Age of Electricity
| While is looking
our government
I into the application of electrical de¬
vices to agriculture, Germans have
solved the difficulty and put the
lightning harness on their imple¬
ments. ( ( Tlie Germans have in
vented an electric plough which
the farmer can run by simply tap
pmg the wire that goes along the
street, or lie c&n establish liis own
dynamo plant at the headquarter,,
°f the farm, and stretching his
wires each way, can plough a field
in any direction. * * * The
consular reports tell of the opera¬
tions of one of these ploughs in 11
Germany. On heavy soil, it
ploughed eight acres to a depth of
ten inches in eight hours; thecost
was $1.29 an acre. The machine
itself is described as a cumbersome,
huge, two wheeled affair, with a
motor fastened upon it, connected
by wires with the dynamo, and
all operated from a central point.”
Americans can now step in and
perfect the discovery, and before
many years we expect to hear of
Col. Dyer moving his wires out
into the suburbs and furnishing !
planters with power to set going
all their agricultural machines.
The horse and mule will become
curiosities or simply lie used for
capering around the farm. We
have heard that there is some pros¬
pect of an invention whereby per¬
sons can at will, with very little
trouble, see what is happening at a
distance. If this can be effected, a
farmer Jna >' keep his eye on his
place when he comes to town,
communicate with his people by
telephone, and set plows and such
things in motion by a touch from
the Dyer building.
What is to become of horses and
mules as well as unskilled laborers,
In -.hut
nues for manual skill and muscle.
The application of electricity for
farm work would be a great benefit,
and it is pretty sure to come, if
electric illumination should become
cheap, the farmer might continue
his employments at night as well
as in the day time. We suppose
that the horse and mule may ling¬
er on the plantation for some years j
longer; but within a decade these
animals may be largely displaced.
When, however, vve remember that
in many parts of the earth tillage
has advanced little or nothing lie
yond the rudest fashions of anti
quity, hope remains for lielief that !
the horse and mule, like the poor,

A Strange Story
Capt. William EJliott, who is
trial justice at Yemassee, and who
is well known to many Charleston
people, was in the city yesterday,
He told a reporter an interesting
story of an experience he had just
had. Not long ago he found the
body of a dead man in Tullafinnie
I Cut, on the Charleston and Savan
■ nah railroad. From letters found
on the body of the dead man a clue
was gotten, which, when followed,
brought some very interesting facts
to light. He was Lieut. Johannes
Carl George Ramsauer, of the
eighty-second regiment of the Ger
man army. It seems that he had
j been promoted and commended for
meritorious conduct, and had then
j asked for and obtained leave of ab
sence from his command. He came
to this country last February, and
since that time he has wandered
I over many of the western and
j southern states. It would seem
j that his money gave out, and he
1 began a long tramp through the
country. When last seen in
assee he was taken for a tramp.
How he came to l>e in Tullafinnie
Cut is not known. It has been
suggested that he was put off of
some train. When last seen he
had the country fever. There were
| no signs of violence on his person,
and it is presumed that he died of
j the fever and weakness,
! Capt. Elliott wrote to the ad
dress which he found on the papers
in his pocket, and he learned that
the dead man was Lieut. Ramsaur,
of the eighty-second regiment of
the kaiser’s army, one of the most
gallant $nd promising young offi¬
cers of the German service. His
parents wrote to say that he was
their tavorite child, and to thank
Capt. Elliott for his kindness.
