were to begin at $1,900,000 and ad¬
vance at the rate of $50,000 a year un¬
til they reached $3,150,000. The main
reduction, it is understood, will be
made on the allotment of new securi¬

No changes whatever will be made,
he states, in tha allowances formerly

be any changes in the proposed man¬

Georgia Chautauqua.
The program of the seventh annual
session of the Georgia chatanqua at
The Albany has been given to the public.
program is as follows: Monday,
March 18th, opening special schools;
Bunday, Tuesday, March 31st, annual sermon;
Wednesday, April 2d, rallying day;
April 3d, educational day;
Thursday, April 4th, national day;
Friday, April 5th, the grand concert
day; Saturday, April 6th, tho recogni¬
tion day,
Tho opening eermon will he preached
by Rev. George T. Dowling, of Bos¬
ton, Mass. Among those who will
participate bly in exercises of the assem¬
arc: Dr. M. O. Hazard, Hon.
Lionel 0. Laing, Rev. George B. Ea¬
ger of Montgomery, Rev. John Fern
ly of Scwauee, Tenn.; Hon. G. R,
Glenn, state school commissioner;
Hon. Wallace Bruce, Rev. George M.
Brown, field secretary for Chautauqua
Literary and Scientific Circle; Profes¬
sor A. H, Merrill, of Vanderbilt Uni¬
versity; Governor W. Y. Atkinson,
Hon. Fleming dnBigaon, Rev. Warren
Candler and others.
It wifi thus be seen that the seventh
Bemoan of the Chautauqua will be full
and running over with good things,
and will be in no sense inferior to the
six sessions that have passed into his¬
tory. Mrs. T, J. Simmons, of Eufaula,
who so successfully conducted the last
Chautauqua chorus, will ha ve charge
of that feature this assembly.
The Chautauqua is the greatest insti¬
tution of that section of Georgia, and
is yearly growing stronger and more
popular with all classes.
To Examine Pharmacists.
On the 18th of March there will be
an examination in Atlanta by tho state
board of pharmacy of applicants for
licenses to practice pharmacy, Tho
examinations will take plaice at the
slate capital, beginning at 9 o’clock in
the morn ing.
Tho state board of pharmacy, be¬
sides determining the efficiency of
those who wish to practice pharmacy,
have charge of the enforcement of the
law against those who attempt to op¬
erate drug stores without, properly
qualified men in charge, and also the
enforcement of the law against the
adulteration of drugs.
The board has already done much to
decrease the sale of adulterated drugs
in Georgia, Tho trifling sum placed
at their disposal for this work by the
legislature would eceni many times too
small to cover the expenses for the
amount of labor required, the major
part of it being done by the board
gratuitously as a matter of pride in
their work. Recent investigations by
tho board show a large amount of
adulteration, which it ia difficult to
reach without increased funds. This
is particularly the case where drugs
arc kept by grocery stores. An exam¬
ination of mustards show adulteration
in the majority of them, and of eleven
cream of tartars examined six contained
no cream of tartar at all, and only
three were unadulterated. The mer¬
chants arc innocent purchasers of
those goods aud buy them, as they are
a few cents cheaper than tbcuo of other
houses, believing them possibly a lower
grade, but never conscious that they
are wholly substitutes, else they would
not pay, as they do, five times what
the abominable stuff’ is really worth,
and can be bought for under its proper
name.
THE BUILDING COLLAPSED.
Five Men Killed Outright aud a Num¬
ber Injured.
Shortly before noon Friday the
fourth floor of the building at 43rd
street and 10th avenue, N, ¥,, known
as the Old Malt house, fell with a
©rash, carrying down with it a dozen
or more men at work upon it. Five
men were killed and seven injured.
The building, which was a six story
one, was being torn down in order that
four flat houses might be erected in its
place. The workmen had taken down
the two top floors and were, at work
palling down the fourth floor and had
piled up a lot of bricks on this floor
which the wheelbarrow men were
carting away when, under the heavy
load, the iron beams supporting the
floor broke, carrying the bricks, iron
rafters, beams of wood and iron, aud
the dozen men at work there down
with it.

JESUP, GA„ THURSDAY, MAlU'H 7. 189.7
A SUNDAY SESSION.
BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS
HARD AT WORK.
The Lord’s Day Spent in Closing Up
Business,
Congress would not allow the world’s
fair to keep its gates open Sunday, yet
congress kept its gates open and on
Sunday did tha hardest day’s work of
its life. In the case of congress, how¬
ever, it was a necessity. Its ox was
in the ditch and congress has followed
scriptural advice and is getting it out.
Without the Sunday session appropri¬
ation bills would have failed and an
extra session necessitated. As it is
there was an all-night, session Satur¬
day night. A recess of the house was
taken at 4 o’clock Sunday morning in
order that the members and Speaker
Crisp—who was completely exhausted
after sixteen hours in the chair at¬
tempting to hold the reins taut on ft
wild aggregation of statesmen—might
sleep a few hours. The recess was un¬
til 2 o’clock Sunday p. in. Since that
hour both the house and Senate were
in continuous session.
At midnight all the appropriation civil,
bills save five, namely, sundry,
Indian, naval, general deficiency and
consular and diplomatic, had been
sent to the president.
At 2:30 Monday morning al! of the
appropriation bills but the naval bill
had been agreed to in conference, and
in tbo following figures the amounts
carried by the legislative, naval, sun¬
dry civil, general deficiency and mis¬
cellaneous bills are o-t.imfi.ted, but fol¬
low closely on the lines of the conces¬
sions made in conference. The grand
total of appropriations, subject to
some few changes, Is found to be
$497,894,604. This is divided among
the bills as follows: Agricultural,
$3,309,750; army, #23,252,638; diplo¬
matic, $1,575,073; District of Colum¬
bia, $5,916,633; fortifications, $1,
904,557; Indian, $8,976,948; legisla
live $21,900,000; military academy,
$464,261; naval, $29,100,000; pensions,
|I|1,381,570; postoffiee, $89,545,997 defi¬ ;
sundry civil, $47,140,000; urgent
ciency, $8,600,000; miscellaneous,
$500,000.
At 2:30 o’clock Monday morning the
house was struggling with the naval
appropriation bill. The senate cut
down the number of battleships and
torpedo boats provided for. Talbott, of
Maryland, chairman of tho house
committee, wanted to accept the senate
amendments, and Bontellc, of Maine,
protested against it. The members,
as a rule, were fatigued and vexed, and
were in an. ugly humor.
TRADE IMPROVES.
Bradstreets’ Review of Business for
the Past Week:.
Bradatreet-’s weekly trade bulletin
■says
a' While the course of general trade
during the first two months of the cur¬
rent year has been disappointing, Feb¬
ruary ends and March begins with
tangible, though not as yet satisfac¬
tory signs of improvement. It is en
ported •ouraging to note that gains are re¬
in the volume of trade at al¬
most every southern city, notwith¬
standing advices from northern cities,
whose jobbers supply southern and
onthwestern markets, that low prices
tor products had curtailed the pur
chasing ability at the south and south
West At the west there is less en
•ourfigemeni, improvement being re¬
ported only from Louisville, Chicago,
St, Louis and St. Paul. Milder weath¬
er has not favored the business situa¬
tion at the northwest.
“Tho movement of phosphate is
more active at Charleston, and buni¬
•less is increasing at Nashville, al
hough southern country roads are
heavy. The approaching international
air at Atlanta results in the employ¬
ment of more people, and merchants
re more hopeful, believing decreased
cotton acreage and increased culture in
dher lines will benefit the planter
financially. Savannah, Jacksonville
and Birmingham report a moderately
increased demand, aa does New Or¬
leans, the inardi gras having drawn
many visitors, and the action of the
senate as to sugar bounties having
stimulated bettor feeling. Weather
conditions in Texas have also resulted
in gain,”
FREE AND UNLIMITED COINAGE.
Democrats of Michigan toe the Res¬
toration of Silver.
The Michigan democratic state con¬
vention met at Saginaw Thursday and
unanimously renominated Justice Mc¬
Grath for justice of the supreme court
and nominated for regents of the uni¬
versity O, J. Pail thorp, of Petoskev,
and Stratton D. Brooks, of Mount
Pleasant, The platform is as follows;
“The democratic party in conven¬
tion assembled hails with delight the
rapidly increasing sentiment iu favor
of the restoration of silver to the posi¬
tion it so long held in the monetary
system of our country and unqnalfied*
ly declare in favor of the free and un¬
limited coinage of silver and gold with
full legal tender power and a ratio of
1.6 to I and we invite every patriotic
citizen of Michigan, regardless of pre¬
vious party affiliations, to join us in
au imperative demand for immediate
legislation to that end regardless of
the position of any otner nation with
respect thereto.”

_
There will be a large delegation from
congress, " V
The loaders of the republican and
democratic steering committees of the
senate met Saturday morning and
agreed that the present organization
of the senate committee should con¬
tinue until the next session of tho
senate. This simply perpetuates the
committees as they now stand, so that
in the event there should be work for
them to do, it can be done without
awaiting a reorganization. The com¬
mittees will be reorganized shortly
after the next congress convenes. The
vacancies caused by the expiration of
the terms of senators will not be filled
except in the case of the committee on
printing, which will have much to do
during the recess.
Nominations Confirmed.
The senate Friday confirmed the
following nominations: William L.
Wilson, of West Virginia, to be post¬
master general: John Wh Bfeowalter,
of Illinois, United States circuit judge
for tho seventh judicial circuit ; Olin
Wellborn, United States judge for the
southern district of California; Joseph
H. O’Neil, assistant United States
treasurer at Boston; United States
consul, Louis M. Buford, of Illinois,
at Paso del Norte, Mexico; postmaster
at New Decatur, Ala., J. Walker Orr.
AH the army and navy promotions on
the calendar wore also confirmed, in¬
cluding William the following: Coratnod ore
A. Kirkland to he rear ad¬
miral in the navy ; Captain Francis M.
Dunce to be commodore; Commander
Purnell F. Harrington to be captain;
Lieutenant Commanders Samuel W.
Very, Frederick W. Crocker and Rob¬
ert M. Berry to be commanders Also
the appointments in the army made by
brevet for gallant services in the In¬
dian campaigns.
Bimetallism Boomed.
Talk of the probabilities of a bi¬
metallic conference, which has been
more active since the parliaments of
Great Britain and Germany have agi¬
tated the question, has given fresh
impetus by the adoption of Senator
Wolcott’s resolution providing for the
appointment of international confer
ces. The discussion is not confined to
either party or to any particular fac¬
tion, and in the house the feeling was
a decidedly hopeful one all around
that the movement under way wilt be
productive of results The United
States has only been waiting, it is gen¬
erally said, for other governments to
take tha initiative or manifest a dispo¬
sition to meet ns half way to co-oper¬
ate with them iu the inauguration of a
plan for the more extensive use of sil¬
ver. If foreign powers show that they
are iu earnest iu the matter, it is said,
and proceed to demonstrate the sin¬
cerity of their utterance by action,
the sentiment of the United States
would compel the governwent to act
with them.
The New Cabinet Member.
As already predicted tho president
on Thursday nominated the Hon.
William I.. Wilson, of West Virginia,
to be postmaster general in place . of
W. 8. Biwell.
William L. Wilson is the best known
to the country in connection with his
recent tariff work in congress. He has
been a tariff student since he first en¬
tered congressional life iu 3882, but it
was not until the present congress
that he became chairman of
the ways and means committee,
and as such the official lead¬
er of the parly. Prior to his
first election to congress he had taken
little part iu 'polities excepting being
a delegate to the democratic national
convention at Cincinnati, and subse¬
quently an doctor-at-large from West
Virginia. Early in 1882 he was chosen
president of the University of West
Virginia. This would have fixed Mr,
Wilson’s sphere of work had it not
been lor a political ruction and party
split at his home in Charleston, West
Virginia, which was settled by the op¬
posing factions nominating Mr. WiL
son.
The campaign was a hot one and
Mr. Wilson won by nine votes. Mr.
Wilson was subsequently elected to
six successive congresses.
He-received good committee assign
intuits fromTbe first, going on the ju¬
diciary, appropriations and ways asd
means. Hia experience shortly after
the war as a professor of law in Co¬
lumbian college equipped him for
work on the judiciary committee.
In the four congressional eras of
tariff changes, the Morrison bill, the
Mills bill, the McKinley bill, Mr. Wil¬
son took an active part, He did much
of the work in constructing the Mills
bill, and be and representative Breck¬
inridge started on a tour of platform
speeches throughout the east endors¬
ing President Cleveland’s tarift mes¬
sage. The t wo orators received hearty
welcome in Boston and New York and
their eloquent speeches formed a me¬
morable event in the tariff discussion
of the day. During the Mills-Crisp
contest for the speakership, Mr. Wil¬
son east his lot with Air. Mills, and
when Mr. Crisp won he designated
Air. Springer,' chairman of the ways
and means committee. When re-elect¬
ed speaker, however, Mr. Crisp named
Mr. Wilson chairman of the ways and
means end in that capacity he framed
the present tariff law.
BIMETALLISTS’CALL
ANEW MOVEMENT IN FAVOR OF
SILVER.
A Manifesto Issued and Awaiting Sig¬
natures.
The pronunciamento of the silver
democrats was issued at Washington
Friday. Instead of being a declara¬
tion for a new party, it involves noth¬
ing but a declaration in favor of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
a ratio of 16 to i, and recites that as
a majority of the party are in favor of
free coinage they should come togeth¬
er and control the organization. It is
already signed by thirty democratic
representatives. Others have hesitated
on account of the talk that- it means a
new party, but tho declaration means
no such thing.
The call is addressed “To the Dem
ocratg of the Lnited States, and

market value of all other forms of
property, continue and intensify bnsi
ness depression, and, finally, reduce
the majority of the people to financial
bondage.
“We believe that no party can hope
for enduring success in the • United
States so long as it advocates a single
gold standard, and that the advocacy
of such a financial policy would be
especially the democratic fatal to a party derives which, voting like
party, its
strength from those who may without
reproach be called the common people,
and we point to tho overwhelming de
feat of the party in 1894, to the oppo
sition aroused by the veto of the
seigniorage^ test against bill, tho and issue still of gold more bonds the

cannot be brought to the support of
the gold We believe standard policy.
“ that the money ques
tinn will be the paramount issue in
1896, and will so remain until it is
settled by the intelligence and patrh
otism of the American voters.
“We believe that a large majority
of the democrats of tha United States
favor bimetallism, and realize that it
ean only be secured by the restoration
of the free anti unlimited coinage of
gold and silver at the present ratio,
and we assert that the majority have,
and should exercise the right to con
trol the policy of the party and retain
the party name.
“Wo believe that it is the duty of
the majority, and within their power,
to take charge of the party organism
iion and make the democratic party
an effective instrument in the aecom
plishment of needed reforms. It is
not necessary that the democrats
should surrender their convictions on
other questions in order to take an ac
tive part in the settlement of the
question which at. this time surpasses
all others in importance.
“We believe that the rank and file
of the democratic party should at once
assert themselves in the democratic
party and place that party on record
as in favor of the immediate restore*
tion of free and unlimited coinage of
gold and silver at the present ratio of
1873, M coinage existed prior
to without waiting for the aid or
consent of any other nation, such gold
and silver coin to be a full legal ten
der for all debts public and private.
“We urge all democrats who favor
the financial policy above set forth to
associate themselves and impress their
views upon the party organization ; we
urge all newspapers in harmony with |
the above financial policy to place it | j
at the head of the editorial column and
assist in the immediate restoration of j
bimetallism.” i

SAYS IT IS Bl <;BEAR
MOVEMENT OF MILLS SOUTH¬
WARD DEPRECATED.
Ex-Senator Howard Speaks for the
Massachusetts Spinners.
___
At , the atatehouso at Boston, Mass.,
Tuesday morning the legislative com
m iR' ee on mercantile affairs continued
investigation into the causes of re
jnoval to other states of textile corpo
rations. The committee heard a dif
ferent story cf the condition, of manu
facturers and employes in Masaachu
setts from that given at tho previous
session of the inquiry. The eompeti
lion of the south was stamped as a
bugbear bv ex-Senator Robert How
arel, of Fall River, who appeared air
tho representative of the Fall
Cotton Mill Spinners’Association. Mr.
Howard said in brief:
“I have noticed during the past few
months that the comparatively few
manufacturers the building who mills are .contemplating
of in the south have
spared no pains to obtain the widest
publicity for their views on the so
called‘southern movement’ The bug
bear of southern competition has been
running in tho ears of the people
throughout the length and breadth of
the New England states, and Massa
chusetts particularly. It seems to m©
that those who are doing the most
talking possess more of a theoretical
than a practical knowledge of cotton
manufacturing. The majority of the
manufacturers of Massachusetts de
pend more for success upon skilled
operatives and climatic conditions in
the line of goods they are engaged in
than proximity to the cotton fields,
“Short hours are not driving the
cotton trade away from Massachusetts,
for no state in the country has made
such wonderful progress in cotton
manufacture as this state since-1874,
when the hours of labor were reduced
to ten hours daily, Carroll D, Wright
says that Massachusetts made a gain
in spindles' between 1870 and 1880 of
1,517,236, and 30,741 looms,
“If the cotton trade ia leaving Mas
sachnsetts, m some persons wish to
impress upon the committee, how can
you account for the great increase in
spindles and looms? In 1.880 there
were 4,236,084 spindles in the state.
The latest returns show 7,160,480, or
an increase of 2,834,896 in the past
fourteen years. Fall River, at the
passage of the ten-hour law, in 1874,
had in its factories 1,258,508, and it
has now about 2,700,000. New Eng
land has 70 per cent, of the spindles of
the country,
“The south today has 33 mills strip
ped for sale in receivers’ hands. It
would be difficult to find thf«© idle
cotton mills in Massachusetts.
“As fast as skilled laborers get to
the south you will hear the petition
for just such labor legislation as the
people of Massachusetts have sought
during the past few years. There are
but few using that bugbear of 'south
ern competition.’ It has been stated
that raw cotton is taken by southern
railroads as fifth- class freight, while
nor ther arailroads take it as only second
or third-class freight. This statement
is erroneous, since eottou is notonlv
shipped from the south to Massachu
setts, and presumably to all New Eng
land an fifth-class, but it can be re
f 5 om l ? D0 Point to another in
New Jbnglano in carload lots as fifth- ;
class freight. Something has also been j
said about coal. The two states which
are recognized as the most progressive |
in the south are the OaroJinas. Invest -
igation has shown that tho Garolisas
areas far from the coal Hauls as the i
manufacturer of Massachusetts, and, j |
%v }j at j„ more, tho facilities for its j
transportation are greater here, since '
v . e are aot dependent merely on the !
fleam railroads, but we have the sea
p oar ,{ ;
P ,2S M !
situated ia a cotton belt in w hich is ;
rate,-! cotton -uitalde only for coarse
good* Mkd tarns, and unfit lot the
NUMBER lft
product of the average Massachusetts
mills, I think statistics 4iow that
Massachusetts has, in reality, little
to fear from the competition .of tha
south.”
“I believe that every step, that is
taken in the interests of the.employe
1 to lighten his burden wilt return some
i thing to the manufacturer and
the state Mitssaoltiisotts mami
facturers have alwavs in the
past, and will ho in the future, com
petont, owing to the skill and intelli
gence of their own against all compet
Rom In proof-of this, since tho
passage of the ten-hour law we have
seen great factories built, large furt
unesmadoandrichfaiiilics xnnltiidied,
. I believe that today Mas.sachnaetia in
raising a class of mechanics who are
j destined to become a source of .strength
to and the prop and mainstay of our
American republic.”
