This amendment should have the
vole of every southerner. Our
soldiers should be taken care of;
the north takes care of hers; ouri
fought as bravely and as well. Vote
for the old soldiers.
The third one is: “An act to
amend Article III, section 4, para¬
graph 3 of the constitution of 1877
by striking out the word *‘Octo¬
ber” in the third, line after the word
“in” jmd before the figures “1878”
and substitute therefor the word
“July.”
The amendment when amended
will read: ‘ ‘Thc first meeting of
v
the general assembly after the rati¬
fication of this constitution, shall
be on the the fourth Wednesday,
jn July, 1878, and annually there¬
after on the same day until the day
shall be changed by law.”
For the Courthouse.
The following is the recommen¬
dation of the grand jury in regard
to issuing bonds for building a new
courthouse.
“We recommend the submission
to a vote of the people of Haber¬
sham county, of a proposition to
issue $25,oooof bonds of the county,
for the purpose of building a new
court house. Said bonds not to
bear more than 5 per cent interest,
payable semi-annually, to be sold
at not less than par, and to be paid
at the rate of $ 1,000 each year, after
the second year from their date.
The election to be called for some
month when no other election oc¬
curs. This plan presents *n easy
method of securing a new court,
house, without materaliy increasing
the burden of taxation. The tax
digest of 1894 shows property valu¬
ations of $1,604,888. The rail¬
road property adds about $550,000
to this valuation, making the whole
taxable valuation of the county $ 3 ,
154,888. A levy of one mill, or
ten cents per hundred dollars of
valuation each year will pay the
bonds and interest as they mature.”
It must be remembered that Dem¬
orest will build a jail and give the
county a fine brick building worth
$15,000 if the county seat is brought
here. Do the people of Habersham
want to increase their taxation?
We think not * especially when all
they desire can be accomplished
without the expenditure of a cent.
Demorest has increased the taxable
property of Habersham county
many thousand of dollars and if the
court house is brought to Demorest
it will increase it much more.
Demorest has done more for Hab¬
ersham county probably, in the way
of Increasing the value of property
and V!Ty
not hive the courthouse here?

nearly five columns to mag¬
nifying the imik>rta**ce of this fact.
It shows that since the recent
African discoveries the advance in
the production of gold has been
rapid. What it does not show,
however,,is that the richness of the
African ore has steadily declined
as the work of mining has been
pushed forward. The yield per
ton, was just one-half as great in
1861 as in 1888, and Suess has
shown that the African mines bid
fair to be exhausted as quickly as
were those of California and Ans
trqlia. This is not th6 most im
portant fact. While it is true that
the world’s production of gold last
year ($153,000,000) was the “grea¬
test in the world’s history,” it is
also true that it was hardly half a
million dollars greater than in 1853.
Meanwhile however,Hhe world’s
business requirin’g money has more
than doubled. The United States
alone to-day has a population nearly
as large as Great Britain, France,
and America combined had in 1853,
while its wealth is even larger.
The statistics of gold production *
therefore, instead of showing that
the world’s supply of money is in¬
creasing in proportion to the de¬
mand, prove the exact opposite,
and explain why prices which re¬
mained substantially uniform from
1853 to 1873, have fallen so rapidly
during the last two decades.
The census bulletin giving for
the entire country the results of the
investigation of the farm and home
proprietorships is an important doc¬
ument. Its estiniQjt^s are not likely
to be impeached on 'Any side, as the
investigation was intrimed to re¬
markably competent handstand the
results reached confirm and make
definite the impressions formed
from common observation. In the
agricultural districts two families
out of three own their farms, though
nearly one-third of these owners
are burdened with mortgages.
Among the non-agriculturist pop¬
ulation', however, only one-third of
the families own their homes, while
two-thirds are tenants. The larger
the city, the greater the propor¬
tionate number of tenants. Ih New
York City only six families in a
hundred own their homes.
other city, however, approaches
this bad eminence. In Boston,
which ranks second in the
tion of tenants, there are eighteen
home-owners out of every hundred
families. The fact that the drift
of population is from the county
the cities, and from the
cities to the larger ones, makes the
effect of the balletin somewhat de
pect of tenantry increasing and
Heme ownership diminishing. No
doubt the situation is serious, but
it is encouraging to reflect that the
chief reason for the small propor¬
tion of home-owners in the
cities is the large proportion of im¬
migrants. Outside of the
cities a majority of American fam¬
ilies are still home-owners.
