TUESDAY MORNING. MARCH 27, 1804
TAKE OFF THE BANK TAX.
The silver seigniorage bill hav¬
ing been carried through both
hou of congress, and the tariff
bill being in reasonably fair shape
with good prospect of passage, the
repeal of the io per cent tax on
state banks stands for consider¬
ation.
The democratic party is expect¬
ing its represenatives in congress
to lift this federal restriction from
state banks, because this among
other things was promised them
during the last campaign. Yes, the
repeal of this tax is expected
because it is wrong in principle
and works hurt to the masses of
this country. It works a total ab
sen of local currency and at
times causes the national currency
to be housed in the great money
centers of the country, and this
brings alxrut a decline in market
values, whereby the producers of
the country are hurt.
Further the inhibition of state
banks tends to foster the national
banking system, the fruitage of
which has not been helpful to the
working people of the country, as
experience has proven. The fos¬
tering of national banks is but
feeding the demand for national
bonds, which bonds have been
made a leverage of oppression to
the common people.
For these and many other reas¬
ons the federal restriction against
state banks should be removed.
It is in accord with reason and
common sense that state banks of
issue will be to an extent a means
of financial relief to the people.
Such a banking system, under wise
and judicious restraints, will afford
a safe local currency that can not
and will not, at the will of money
manipulators, be drawn from circu
laton and be locked up for the
time in vaults in the great money
centers. Hence our democratic
congressmen, while in charge of
thg_ h yi s Mj t ) 1( ,
government, should be bold in
their efforts to repeal the io per
cent tax on state banks and thereby
redeem another pledge made by
the democratic party to the peo¬
ple.
BRING IN MORE PEOPLE.
The fact that the south needs
more people to develope, as should
be done, her vast resources and
varied interests is too patent not
to be seen.
Southern railroads have, and are
waking up to this need, and are
moving in that direction to supply
it. It has been a common remark
among southern people for a num¬
ber of years that tho idle lands of
the south are a dead weight npon
their owners.
Speaking on the subject an ex¬
change says:
The fact that many citizens of
the south are “land poor,” is itself
the best of arguments in favor of
southern imigration. Populate the
vast plantations and estates of the
south with a thiifty, hard working
class of citizens, xvhether they
come from New England or the
northwest, and the agricultural re¬
sources of the section in more
perfect development luxurious alone would
make it the most region
of America, saying nothing of the
south’s superior timberadx’antages.
The work of the great trunk
lines leading into the south look¬
ing to the encouragement of imi¬
gration, the development of the
agricultural interests, the building
up of the toxvns and villages along
their respective lines is certainly a
step in the right direction.

Somf. Georgia editors are dis¬
puting xvith each other over the
question, “ which of the txvo candi¬
dates for governor have a majority
of the weekly papers in the state
in favor of his candidacy ? ” A
more important question of the
gubernatorial candidates is “which
xvill have the most votes polled for
him at the election ?” So brethren,
leave the weekly papers alone and
go to work to secure votes in a le¬
gitimate way for your fax’orite cand¬
idate.

There was a large convention of
negroes held at Birmingham, Ala.
last week to consider the question
of their emigration to Africa.
Some of their leaders are of the
opinion that it xvill be best for the
negroes to go back to Africa, their
native land. This is a matter that
the negroes themselves must set
tie.
THE MONROE FORSYTH. 6A.. TUESDAY. MARCH 27. 1894.
COTTON FACTORIES COMING.
While it is but the dictates of
common sense to conclude that
the southern people will remain an
agricultural 0 people in the main ’
and . *.nat , the . south # . will ...
remain an
agricultural country, yet it is
qually .. with
in accoro common
sense to conclude that for the
, the south , will do , , her iuil . ,,
luture
share in manufacturing ® There
evidences . .
are cropping out in
various sections of the country as
the , days , come and , which , prove
go
to the thinking man that the time
is coming, and y is . not far away,
when the cotton belt of the south
will be well dotted with cotton
mills. Many cotton mill owners
of Ncxv England with their keen
business sagacity, clearly see the
prospective southern develope
ments in that direction, and are
reported as having determined to
move their plants to the cotton
fields of the south. They see
and recognize the fact that the ad¬
vantages of the south for the manu¬
facture of cotton goods are supe¬
rior to those of New England and
other northern sections and that
such mills in the south will yeild
larger pro fits. It is not only log¬
ical, but it is the fruit of practical
common sense to conclude that if
cotton can be purchased on the
field of its production, hauled two
thousand miles and be converted
into manufactured goods at a fair
profit, the profits will be greater
if the cotton mills be located right
in the midst of the cotton fields.
This is a fact too plain and too
prominent not to be recognized by
spinners and manufacturers of
cotton fabrics. This is specially
true when it is conceded that the
climate of the cotton belt is so ad¬
mirably adopted' to the manufac¬
ture of the very best grades of cot¬
ton goods. The success w hich has
attended and is attending the
manufacture of the coarser cotton
fabrics in the south is an argu¬
ment in favor of the manufacture
of finer cotton fabrics too strong to
be refuted. Another fact prophet¬
ic of multiplied development of
mills in the south is that the accu¬
mulating capital of the south can
not and will not remain idle but
will seek channels in which to
work aiifiLbeeQ me pro fitable, to its
owners and there is no field more
inviting for this than thejestablish
ing of manufactories in this south¬
ern section. Hence with these
facts before us it is not a stretch of
prophecy to assert that the cotton
mills xvill come south and that the
day is not distant when the south¬
ern section of this Union will be
filled with the music of these en¬
terprises.
THE GRIFFIN DEBATE.
Evans and Atkinson — Attorney's
Fee $1,000.
As a great many enthusiastic support¬
ers of Gen. Evans and Billie Atkinson
could not be present at Griffin on last
Thursday to hear the debate about the
gubernatorial campaign now “on to the
finish,” tho writer has thought perhaps
some repetition things and that xvere said would hear
might he appreciated.
During the debate “Billie” undertook
to tell the people why Gen. Evans should
not, and lie should he, elected Governor.
Among other things “Billie” said Gen.
discharge Evans was not duties competent Governor or capable to
the of of the
great he had Empire four State of Georgia his time because
spent years of in the
Confederate war, (or at least this is what
the xvriter understood as the result of
what he said) and also thirty years of his
time in the ministry, and that he, "Bil¬
lie.” xvas better qualified ami capacitated
than the General because lie lias served in
the Georgia legislature eight years and
had originated .directed andfathered most
of the important legislation passed during
said eight years, and that he had served
as chairman of the State Democratic Ex¬
ecutive Committee and had saved the
state from being overrun by the People's
Party. The writer thinks perhaps “Billie”
should give other reasons why he should
he elected Governoi. Oh, “Billie,” may
he you intended to tell the people of
Griffin whether or not, while speaker of
the House of Representatives, there was
any slate made, and if somebody did not
put your name down on the slate for
Governor, Gus Bacon for United States
Senator, and certain members forjudges,
solicitors and other state officers. Did
some fellow do this thing, or anything
like it, “Billie !”
The writer, xvho was present and heard
those speeches, thought “Billie” was
square and iutended to make a clean
breast of it and ease his couseieneeof all
his little political tricks, if he had been
connected with such, when he 1 frankly
said that lie had accepted a fee of $1,000
paid from rendered the taxes of the rendered, people for ser¬
vices and to he as a
lawyer during liis representative the term the iu
the legislature to protect state 111
"betterment issue” growing out of the
Joe Brown lease of the State Road.
Billie Atkinson said lie did not accept
the fee until he had advised with fltbers,
and when John I. Hall told him it xvas all
right to accept the fee, if he needed it,
then he accepted it. Evanb’ Friend.
Prolific Corn.
A farmer residing near this city
informed us last week of an ear of
corn, grown on his farm last year
that was somewhat peculiar in its
make up. Within and covered by
one shuck were seven ears of corn,
the main or middle ear being large
size aud fully developed while the
six clustered around it were what is
usually termed nubbins. And as
further evidence that that ear of corn
was of the prolific varietxq the stem
of the tassel from the stalk on which
it grew had grains of corn growing
upon it. W e suggested to that farm
er to plant a selection from that ear
and watch its future developments.
BUILD A NEW COURT HOUSE.
Some Figures Which go to Show
the Small Increase in Taxes.
The above is virtually what the
last grand jury of this county said to :
tbe count Y commissioners. That
say-so was based upon the judgment
of that honorable body that the pre
se,Jt court house is unsafe and unsuit
ed to the demands made upon it.
ing upon that suggestion or recom
mendation of the grand jury the
county commissioners have passed an
order submittiug the question
building a new court house to the
voters of the county again, as will be
seen by reference to their citation
to be fou,ul in lbis paper.
Now there is a pretty general con
cession upon the part of all the citi
sens of the county who are well in
formed as to the real status and cou
dition of the present court house that
there is need of a new one, both for
the safety and the convenience of the
citizens of the county who have to at¬
tend upon the courts of the county.
The necessity of a new building
being conceded, then the obstacle
that stands in the way of building is
the idea obtaining among some of
the tax payers in the county that the
building of a new court house will
entail upon the tax-payers a heavy
taxation which they feel they are
unable to pay.
Is this idea well founded? When
the real facts attaching are consid¬
ered from a proper standpoint this
idea will be found to be a fruit of the
imagination.
In order to puncture this air-bub¬
ble and to show its fallacy, we here
with submit a few figures which fig¬
ures show that the cost of the build¬
ing of a new court house amply ade¬
quate for all demands that may be
made upon it will be about as much
of a burden upon the tax-payers of
the county as a gnat upon a Spanish
bull when sitting on his horn, pro¬
vided it he done on a judicious plau.
Our figures show the heaviest pos¬
sible annual increase of taxation on
$1,000 worth of property, if the cost
be paid in one year, and the least
average annual increase in taxation
if the cost of building be scattered
over a period of twenty-five years.
Our calculation is based upon a
total cost of $25,000 which we think
an ample amount to build and equip
such a court house as the county
needs.
Upon this basis, if the cost be in¬
cluded in one tax levy, and paid in
one year, the extra taxation will oe
one dollar on each one hundred dol¬
lars’ worth of property in the county,
or ten dollars on each $1,000 worth of
property If the tax levy be scat¬
tered over a period of twenty-five
years, the increased average anuual
tax will be sixty-five cents on each
$1,000 worth of property, or an annual
increase of taxation in the county of
only $1,050.
We present the following figures
which show what will he the annual
amount to be paid by the tax-payers
in each district, if the payments be
scattered over the period named:
Proctors’ district........ .........$ 70 G6
Uniouville district .. ........ 103 45
Johnston district...... ..... 95 65
Redbone district........ ..... 98 65
Culloden district...... ...... 117 80
Forsyth district......... ......... 477 00
Cabauiss district ....... ......... 66 10
Middlebrooks district ......... 73 45
Bentons district......... 60 57
I^irmyAdistneU.^... Burgays district........ 95 20
45 40
RusselviTte district.S TeTU
Dillards district....... 76 51
Brantlys district...... ......... 86 47
Cox district............. ......... 66 17
Evers district.......... ......... 70 12
Total $1,650 00
These figures are based upon the
presumption that the bonds can be
floated at five per cent. Hence it
will be seen that if the new court house
be built under the bond system, the
annual increase of taxation to meet
the expense thereof will be merely
nominal.

Blood Balm Co., Atlanta Ga.—Gentle¬
men: In 1872 a small pimple broke out
ou my leg. It began eating and in four
months I was treated by a physician of
Talladega county, Ala., where I lived
eighteen years. He relieved it for a
short while. In six weeks it broke out
again in both legs, also on my shoulder.
Two small bones were taken out. It
continued until 1870. In this time 1 had
twelve different physicians. They told
me the only remedy was amputation;
that it could never be cured. For six
months I could not xvalk a step. I went
to Mineral Wells, Texas, spent $300.00;
came staid home; went to Hot Springs, Ark.,
nine months—all failed to cure me.
In 1877 I came back to Birmingham, Ala.
I went to the city hospital. The doctors
xvanted to chop my leg off. I was ad¬
vised to write to yon, which I did. You
xvrote me that B. B. B. would cure me,
and I could get the medicine from Nabors
& Morrow, druggists, of our city. I
bought ished ten bottles and before I had fin¬
my fifth bottle my legs began to
heal, and in less than two months I was
sound and well. That has been more
than two years ago, and no sign of its
return yet. I have spent in cash over
$400.00, and B. B. B. did the work that
all the rest failed to do. I will m pc’aini
its merits to the xvorld ds Jong as I live.

I have traveled so much trying to get
well that my cure is xvell known. Fifty
two doctors have treated me in the
17 years. All they did xvas to take what
money I had and done me no good. As

consent to cut my leg off. Thank God, I
