SATURDAY, JUNE 12, 1897.
Change of Date of Publication
and Size of The Journal.
This is to notify all persons that
with the first Jay of July next the
Banks County Journal will be pub
lished on every Thursday instead of
every Saturday as it has been hereto
fore.
This change is to accommodate
those who have not heretofore been
able to get the Journal until near the
middle of tha week following the pub
lication on Saturday.
If it were not far the very unsatis
factory schedule ot arrivals and de
partures ef the mails to and from
Hoiner this change would not become
necessary.
But, from and after Thursday the
Ist day of July the Journal will be
made into an 8 page 7 column weekly
and will be in such shape as will make
It a better paper.
Those persons who do not take the
paper because it reached them too
iat in the week can now have their
wants filled by getting the paper on
the next Saturday following pub
lication on every Thursday.
There seems to be some difficulty
in securing a President for the Dah
lonega college. Profs. Slaton, of At
lanta, and Wilson, of Savannah, both
have had the position offered them
but both declined to accept.
Mr. J. P. Atkinson, the oldest son
our Gov. Atkinson, will take a three
years Medical course in the Southern
Medical of College Atlanta next year.
Afterwards be will probably take a
post graduate course in the famous
Philadelphia College.
We are deeply interested in that
hard fight between Toccoa and Clarsk*
ville lor the County site, and it gives
pleasure to watch how that game lit
tle town is fighthing for what she be
lieves is jnstly her rights, even if the
odds are against her.
The splendid offer of a fine $30,000
court house is quite a nice little bate
and no deubt will be seriously con
sidered by the voters when the time
comes for them to decide which is the
proper place for the county' site.
We realize how difficult it is to
change the Habits of several thous -
and people and the chances for Clarks
ville are just es good, if not better
than those of Toccoa.
Alexander Stephen* day.
Our U. S. Senator and his splendid
speech in the U. S. Senate was
a splendid piece of work fori our
j’oung but smart senator, and he de
serves much credit for his grand ef
fort.
liie is just the kind of
pecch wc like for otir true southern
ers to make in the defense of our
southern industries and farmers rights.
The measure upon which he made
such an eloquent speech seems to put
a tax on such things as bags for fer
tilizers, and bagging for cotton which
is per cent per square yard, and even
the ties will cost the fanners more
than they cost at present by nearly 1,
cent per pound. Even that verv cheap |
and absolutely necessary article of
food salt will be put upon the list of
articles ot which everyone of our
southerners will have to pay more for
than at present. All of this would be
all right, if the classes that first buy
these articles could in any way be re
imbursed for what they will be called
upon to pay immediately after thepas.
sage of this tariff law. But no, the
same class of tncksters that are want
ing this law passed, will be the first
to cry “we can’t afford to pay moTe
for your cotton, but wc will after a
while attempt to repeal the the abom
inable law which is robbing you out of
thousands of dollars each year.”
The way these U. S. law roakir:
and the powerful combines or trust*
are working all the time to beat the
farmers and other laboring closer*
throughout the United States out of
wlmt very iittles they can, by hard and
constant labor produce, by schemas
through which the majority of labor
ers can not see is a shame and a dis'
grace upon our country, and ought to
lie stopped and especially is this the
case with our grand and most blessed
south, which is the only part of the
United States.in which the king cotton
can be raised. Of course there are
other sections in ihesc United States
that are effected by these tricksters.
Tlie people of all sections ought to
say “thus for shalt thou go but no far
ther.”
Tweuty Per Cent.
Ad valorem duty on any art icle
means that the price of that articl:
which is shipped into this country will
be raised 20 cents on the dollar.
The adoption of Senator Bacon’s
amendment to the tariff bill makes
matters look very much like our own
Bacon has been very' successfully
trapped, because the adoption of such
amendment very clearly shows that
ne is playing into the hands of toe
Eastern Manufacturers, who will soon
raise the juice of all manufactured
cotton goods. It is true the southern
cotton manufacturer will receive the
same opportunity but they at present
represent a very small per centage of
the capital invested in these nianu
factories. We believe Bncon has been
cornered and that a big trade is ori
foot which will develop very soon and
will show that Senators Bacon, Clay,
McLaurin, Tillman and several others
will appear as stroDg supporters of
the bill which includes sugar, bagging
for cotton, cotton ties and such like,
these things being absolutely nccessa
ry for life and foi successful farming.
Just watch how quickly the bill pro
viding for the vastinciease of revenue
for the big sugar refineries and cotton
tie and bagging manufacturers will be
carried to successful passage through
both houses of Congress. This big
deal made so suddenly in the Seuate
will, in our judgement, result in the
passage of a bill which will to a very
large extent injuie jt-he farming ami
laboring class of people throughout
the entire country, and will to a very
large extent enrich the big manu
facturers of the North and East. Of
course it is natural that the old saying
that, “M.n sometimes build better
than they know. But the contractor
on a political job knows better than
he builds” is true, and especially is
this true in the case of Bacon, Clav t
McLaurin and Tillman because they
was building for his people and at the
same time he was building better for
the manufacturers and big moneye 1
concerns than ho knew, or appeared to
know. Just watch Bacon and several
of the supporters of his amendment
and see how they vote upon the tariff
bill.
SIZEof A SPIDERS WE B.
Leeuwenhoek, the first micoscopist,
wrote in 1865 as follows: “I have often
compared the size of the thread spun
by full grown spiders with a hair of my
beard. I placed the thickest part of the
hair before the microscope, and, from
the most accurate judgment I could
form, more than a hundred of such
threads piaced side by side could not
equal thediamater of one such hair.
If, then, we suppose such a htir to lie
of a round form, it follows that 10,000
threads spun by the full grown spider
when taken together will not be equal
in substance to the size of a single hair.
To this, if we add that 400 young spi
ders, at the time when they begin to
spin teir webs, are not larger than one
full grown one, and that each of these
minute spiders possesses the same
organs as the larger ones, it follows
that the exceeding small threads spun
by these little creatures must be 400
times slenderer; and, consequently,
that 4,000,000 of these minute spiders’
shreads cannot equal in substance the
tize of a Single hair.”—Microscope.
SOMETHING TO KNOW.
It may worth something to know
that the very best medicine for re
; storing the tired out nervous system
to a healthy vigor is Elecctric Bitters
This medicine if purely vegetable, acts
by giving tone to the norve centres in
the stomach, gently stimulates the
Liver and Kidney, and aids these or
gans in throwing off impurities in the
blood. Electric Bitters improves the
appetite, rids digestion, and is pro
nounced by those who have tried it
as the very best blood purifier and
nerve tonic: Try it. Sold for 60c or

National Debts of the World.
It is a well known paradox that a
country cannot be prosperous wnhout
a certain amount of national debt.
This may be disputed, but it is
certain that hardly a civilized nation
is to be fouud to-day without the bur
den of national debt. The llandeli-
Zeitimg, New York, compiled some
interesting statistics ou the subject,
from which the Literary Digest quotes
the following:
“The total national debt of the
world is now $20,000,<'00,000, while
in 1875 it was $23,750,000,000-
France has the distinction of leading
the world in this regaid with a debt
of $6,000,000,000, followed by Great
Britain with 83,300,000,000. The
third on the list is Austria Hungaiy
with $3,030,000,000, while Russia is
fourth with $2,875,000,000 and Italy
fifth wiihs2,s3o 000,1)00. Spain comes
next, with $1,395,000,000, and the
United States is 7th with $996,141,-
952. Germany has a debt of only
$420,000,000.
“Spain owes comparatively the
largest sum to foreigners, while in
France the great bulk of the papers
ai ein possession of tire Frenchmen
themselves. But nearly every other
nation is indebted for enormous
amounts to its own subjects. France
takes the lead as a leading peoples on
account of the good financial stnding
and the saving propensities of tis
people. The example of France
seems to ronfirm the proposition that
a national debt is a good thing for the
prosperity of the people, for in that
country the national debt and the gen
eral prosperity of tiie populace have
steadily advanced in recent decades
'n equal proportions.
“Toe gowtn of national debts can be
from the following table, in which the
figures for twenty years ago are given
in the first column, those for to-day
in the second column:
France. 4 billion, 5 hundred million
dollars, against 6 biiiton, dollars, at
present.
England 3 billion 9 hundred million
dollars, against 3 billion 3 hundred
million dollars, at present.
Austria 1 billion 750 million dollars
against 3 billion dollars, at present.
Russia l billion 700 million dollars
against 2 billion 875 million dollars,
at present.
Itally 1 billion 950 million dollars
against 2 billion 230 million dollars, at
present.
U. S. 2 biilion 220 million dollars,
against 990 141 thousand, 952 dollars
at present
Spain 1 billion 375 million dollars)
aganist 1 billion 395 million dollars,
at present,
Germany 1 billion dollars, against
420 million at present.
Australasia 230 million dollars,
against 1 billion 200 million dallars at.
present.
Turkey 675 million dollars, against
900 million dollars, at present.
Portugal 345 million dollars, against
765 million dollars at present.
India 650 million dollars against
635 million dollars, at present.
Brazil 475 million {dollars, against
590 million at present.
Egypt 375 million dollars, against
530 million dollars at present.
“ Rather remarkable is the incra
se of debt in especially
over against the repeated statement
of Great Britain that its loyal colonies
enjoy a higher degree of prsperity
than do those that have become inde
pendent. Japan and the Argentine
Republic belong to the states that
have in recent years been contracting
debts on a large scale, the former now
having $235,000,000 and the latter
$370,000,600. Borrowers on a
somewhat smaller scale are Belgium,
with a dept of $445,000,000, Holland
with $460,000,000, Canada with $255,
000,000, an increase of $100,000,#00
since 1875. The total debt of Great
Britain, including the colonies, is $5
485,000,000, almost equal to the bebt
of Franee.
“ One reason for the enormous
increase of national dents is probably
the fact that money is now much
cheaper than is was twenty years ago.
At present the total sum of interest
to be paid on national debts is'sl,ll6>
000,000, while twenty years ago it
was only $5,000,000 less than it is at
present. In 1875 Spain and Mexico
paid as high 15 and 18 per cent
interest. Although the national debt
of France is so enormous yet
it pays comparatively the smallest
amount of interest money, namely
$185,000,000; while Great Britain jays
annually $125,000,000; Russia $120,-
000,0o0;ltajly, $117000,000, Spain s‘6.
000,00; Austria-Hungary as much
as sIBG,OOO 000- Tire latter country)
accordinly, pays more interest than
France, although the French debt is
twice asjlarge as that of the Austrian
empire. It is interesting to note
that each.inhabitant of France must
on the average, pay each year
s4.7sinterest ou the naiional debt
each Russian, #1.20: each Eenglish
man, $3.15; each Austrian, $7.50.
each Italian, #3.80; each Spaniard,
$3.25; each American, 42 cents;eac!r
German, 33cents.”
TO OU li FItIE ND S
AND CUSTOMERS.
In nil issue of the Journal n short time
back we announced to the people that
we were prepared to overhaul Buggies,
and had made a contract with Mr J. H.
Sellers to do our painting for us.
Just after getting the first buggy
ready for the paint shop,Sellers notified
us that they had formed a Company, and
could not paint for us according to pre
vious contract. Which leaves us in a
shape that we cannot accommodate out
customers by painting their buggies this
year. We just wish to say to those
that wish to patronize us t hat we will
guarantee satisfaction in anything we
do. After this year we hope to be
able,with a first class painter to accom
modate our customers at our own shop.
Thanking the people for their patron
age up to the present, we hope they
will continue patronizing us

It has now been demonstrated
that nine cases out of ten of women’s
disorders, painful and troublesome as
they are, do i ot require the attention
of a physician at all. “Local taeat
ment” or “private examinotions”
have been shown to be entirely un
necessary. The simple, pure wine of
Cardiff, taken in the privacy of the
home insures quick relief.
It is entirely unnecessary for any
woman to suffer from these almost
universal complaints. She can get
a bottle of MeElree’s Wine ot Cardiff
at the nearest drug store for SI,OO
and quickly put an end to the un
pleasant pains and derangements.
Thousands ef women arc well to-day
because they did that.
