Harden, Editor. 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.

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 Respectfully Ayers & Henderson. THE GRANDES T REMEDY. Mr. Ri B.

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.
