Tlie Augusta Chronicle rises to
remark that “this discussion about
the number of newspapers on each
side of the silver question is a wea¬
riness of the flesh. It is not the
majority of newspapers, but the
majority of voters, that carry ques-
tions in Georgia, and there have
been several signal instances in
which the newspapers were not in
it with the people.
Eminently correct you are, bro¬
ther. Two notable instances of
this were the Gubernatorial elec¬
tions of ’8G and ’04, when Gordon
and Atkinson had a considerable
majority of the Georgia newspapers
against them, but marched right
on to victory.
A FOUL SLANDER.
On 'Wednesday last the Demo¬
cratic convention for the l()th dis¬
trict, to nominate a Democratic
candidate for Congress in tlie spe¬
cial election to he held on the 2d
of October, met at Grawfordville
and unanimously nominatod Hon.
J. C. C. Black, of Augusta.
Some of the goldbug papers are
now charging that Maj. Black was
nominated upon the Populist plat¬
form, simply because, we suppose,
the convention didn’t see fit to en¬
dorse the single gold standard, I 11
"order that our readers may see and
judge for themselves of this matter,
we copy the platform upon which
he was nominated entire. Here it
is:
“Resolved, by this convention here
assembled at Crawfordv i Ifiq That we re¬
affirm word for word the Warrenton
platform on which we stood last year
and which reads as follows, to-wit:
‘“Resolved, That we, the Democrats
of the Tenth Congressional district, in
convention assembled, hereby renew
our allegiance to the Democratic prin¬
ciples enunciated in the Georgia plat¬
form of 1892.
‘“We favor the immediate repeal of
(he prohibitory banks; 1(1 per cent income tax upon
State we favor an tax
that will cause the rich to bear their
just proportion of the burdens of the
government; we favor a tariff for rev¬
enue only, so adjusted as to relieve the
necessities of life from taxation and
place the tax upon luxuries as far as
practicable; silver the we ratio favor the free coinage
of at of 16 to I, and de¬
mand that such law be enacted without
waiting upon the slow process of inter¬
national agreement.’ ”
Now, is there anything Popu-
Jistic in that? It is exactly the
ideas and principles embraced in
the Democratic platforms (both
State and National) of 1892, except
that they sav in so many words that
they favor the ratio of 16 to 1.
Well, that was the legal ratio from
1837 to 1873, and up to the
ning of the civil war this was a pe-
riodof the most boundless pros-
perity this country has ever

the only standard of value and
mmW money ,T ot vpripmntion ledemption. That mat is is
what the silver people are com-
plaining at.
Suppose none of this legislation
cn the silver question since 1873
had been adopted. What would
have been the result? We will take
Bro. Craig’s own figures and see.
Silver would still bo a redemption
money in that event. He says we
have now $(325,000,000 in gold and,
in round numbers, $623,500,000 in
silver. Then, aecording to Ins own
showing, instead of having our ag¬
ricultural and all other productions
and property of all descriptions
measured by a contracted money
standard of values amounting to
only $625,000,000, it would be mea¬
sured by one of $1,248,500,000,
Then, hasn’t this legislation redu¬
ced our money of final redemption
about one-half? That is all we
claimed.
And by reducing the volume of
money of final redemption and
making gold the only standard of
values, it seems to us that every
man ought to see at a glance that
the logical and only effect it could
have is to greatly enhance the value
of gold and correspondingly dimin-*
ish and decrease the value of 6ve-
rything that is bought with or mea¬
sured by gold. And hasn’t that
been tho effect under the single
gold standard? Let the tax re¬
turns of the State of Georgia for
the years 1894 and 1895 answer this
question. What answer does the
price the farmer got fer his cotton
during last season give to it?
We say put silver back to its for¬
mer position and w-'here it properly
belongs as a money of redemption
—thus nearly doubling the volume
of that money—and you at once
take from gold its fictitious value
and bring it back to its normal
condition, and at the same time
very greatly enhance the value ot
j a p kinds of property and products
and give prosperity once more to
our people.

asSe , t Uiat it W011 ]d be a lasting blot
upon the good name of the State if a
woman h were hanged, no matter how
deserved that fate How
much greater the shame that these two
children, and many others like them,
should be deliberately consigned to a
life of vice and crime, no hand out-
stretched to save them, the relentless
]aw thrusting them aside as doomed for
this life and the hereafter. The Chris-
Thekiea
of it should bring the blush of shame
to their cheeks. Save Georgia from the
disgrace of chi]d convicts I
The Constitution for years past has
published column after column on the
same line. Eminent divines, Christian
statesmen and hundreds of good men
and women have joined us in our aps
peal for the establishment of a reform¬
atory and for a modification of our laws
that will make it possible to redeem
the unfortunate children who drift into
evil WaySj but Georgia continues to
bear the shame of her cruel penal sys¬
tem.
Something should be done to wipe
out this disgrace. No State can push
its way to the van of Christian civili¬
zation and remain there long when its
inhuman laws send twelve-year-old
boys to the chaingang. Our present
penal system is simply a system for the
encouragement of crime and the mul¬
tiplication of criminals.
Let us get rid of it—let us save the
children!—Atlanta Constitution.
EtnM'genfy Courts;
Over in South Carolina it is suggest¬
ed that the coming constitutional con¬
vention provide for emergency courts,
whose duty it shall be to deal with all
crimes for which the death penalty is
inflicted; The court of general sessions
would, of course, have concurrent juris¬
diction and the emergency courts would
be held only to try cases which could
not be promptly tried at a regular term
of the other courts;
The Charleston News and Courier
thinks that this ought to meet the re¬
quirements of the situation. It says :
When it has once become well under¬
stood by the criminal classes that there
is a court which is always ready and
equipped to try at once and prosecute
at once crimes of violence, without lea¬
ving open a chance of evading its sen¬
tence after conviction, it is highly pro¬
bable that the would-be criminal will
be far less ready to commit crime, A
very few examples of “sure and swift
justice” will make the fact of change
from the old system public and impres¬
sive, and, we believe, effective for its
purpose. The experiment promises
well, and is well worth trying; That
it should be tried is beyond all ques¬
tion.”
It is believed, too, that people would
be less inclined to resort to lynch law
under a system which provided for
speedy trials. On the other band, the
Richmond Titnes has the following i
But the great question is, would an
emergency court be a reliable instru¬
ment of justice? Would it not be hasty?
Would it not be influenced by outside
clamor? Would it represent the im¬
partiality, nity that courage, the attributes calmness of and justice? dig¬
are
We have our doubts, but we tliould like
to see the plan tried.
The popular clamor is not so much
now because of the law’s delay in the
trial courts as because of tlie numerous
technicalities that counsel may avail
themselves of for appeal, and the dou¬
ble appeal that is allowed. And yet,
where would you begin in lopping off
these technicalities?
How to expedite criminal justice in
the interests of the public, without en¬
dangering the rights of any eitizen, is
a perplexing problem. Undoubtedly
our present system causes too much
i delay and gives criminals too many
j chances of escape through mere tech-
nicalities * In England a great crimi-
! t*» nal niay ty days be after tried he and commits hanged murder, within

Memorized Speeches.
The Memphis
believes that the decline in oratory is
largely owing to the fact that our spea-
kors, with few exceptions, no longer
prepare and memorize their speeches,
i The great orators of former days, like
Webster and Hayne, thought over their
speeches in advance, and practically
composed them, oven when they did
not Write them out. They memorized
their ,nost important efforts, and so
trained their memories that it was
for them to retain eight or ten thou-
sand words in their minds. Moreover,
: the old-time speakers practiced their

A Now Stimulant!
Recent experiments in our army with
the kola nut confirms the statements of
many travelers and scientists who have
studied the kola question in Africa and
the West Indies, where this wonderful
lint is generally used;
It is claimed that kola is-more stimu¬
lating than coffee and lias no bad after
effects. The natives of Africa and the
West Indies who chew it are in great de¬
mand as laborers, because they are al¬
ways in splendid health, suffer no
fatigue, and work long hours without
any food. I 11 those countries the cocoa
chewer is always rejected for the kola
c'hoTter.
Kola contains more caffeine than cof¬
fee itself, a good deal of starch and no
tannin. It instantly increases muscular
strength and allays hunger arid thirst,
besides lessening perspiration in hot
weather. The nut is now cultivated in
large quantities in various parts of the
world, and ari American firm expects
shortly to put it on the market in this
country. When it makes its appearance
it is predicted that tea and coffee will
have to go. The recent army experi¬
ments in this country were made by
Captain Charles E. Woodruff, at Port
Sheridan, Ill.—Atlanta Constitution;
This was Iiar<l times.
At story was recently told of how a
preacher tested the effect of the hard
times upofi IDs congregation. At the
conclusion of^one of his sermons he
said j 1
“Let everybody in the house who pay
their debts stand up.”
Instantly every man, woman and
child, with one exception arose to their
feet. He seated the crowd and then
said.
“Let every man who is not paying
his debts stand up.”
The exception noted a careworn
hungry individual clothed in bis last
summer suit, slowly assumed a perpen¬
dicular position and leaned upon the
back of the seat in front of him.
“How is if, my friend,” inquired the
minister, that you are the only man in
this large congregation who is unable
to meet bis obligations?”
“I publish a newspaper,” he meekly
replied, “and rhy brethren who have
just stood up are my subscribers, and—”
“Let 11 s pray!” exclaimed the minis-
ter.
Some anxiety was caused the Expo-
sition management by the effort of cer-

From Central Alabama.
Vandiver, Ala., Aug. 16, 1805.
Central Alabama is a beautiful farming ancl
lumbering country. Here you will sae tlia
corn growing abundantly on tne farms, while
acres and acres of cotton tieids delight the eye,
ddtted here and tils re with the “dusky sons of
Dixie’s land,” chanting their weird lays as
they labor in the. glowing sun. Beautiful
swamps, wet, marshy and covered with every
kind of \egctation, from the sweet-sednled
jessamine to the long, damp moss that baiigs
in festoons from tlie trees and makes them
look picturesque to an eye unaccustomed to
ucli sights. This is the home of tlie lorg-
eaf yellow pine. It grows a height of from
75 to 100 feet, and the straw alone will attain
a length of f;om two to three feet. Lumber^
mg is one of the principal industries of this
eountry, giving employment tea large num¬
ber of the population. You will find the
people, generally speaking, languid and slow-
going, fond of music and merriment. Almost
every home contains some Rind of musical
instruments, with excellent musicians. They
are generally well-to do, and enjoy life to a
great extent, M. B.
A Billion.
What is a billion? The reply is very eim_
pie—u million times a million - *
This is quickly written, and quicker still
pronounced, but no man is able to count it.
Yoti may count 160 or 170 in a minute, but
let us even suppose that you may go as far as
200; then an hour will produce 12,000, a clay
280,000, and a year 105,120,00*). Let us sup¬
pose now hat Adam, at tlie lust beginning
of his existence, bad begun to count, bad
continued to do so, and was counting still, lie
would not even now, according to the usual
supposed age of cur globe, have counted near
enough to count a million times a million.
It would require 9,512 years, 24 days, 5 hours
and 30 n;rdu.es.
Yet we have had a billion dollar congress.
How goes that, ha!
