THE PRESIDENT OK The F1KAM- ciav. si niATion, n Reply ioa letter From Govern nr Northern* Late last night Governor North- en received a letter from Presi dent Cleveland, which will be read with interest by everyone. Some time ago Governor North* en wrote a letter President Cleve- land, and the president’s letter was In reply to the governor’s letter. The Substance of the governor’s letter is given, with the president’s reply in full: THE GOVERNOR’S LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT. Governor Northen assured the president of his sympathy in the responsible position he holds and the obligations put upon him by the political party whose trusted leader he is. He further assured the president of his earnest advocacy and en thusiastic support for the beginning of the conflict before the people be cause of his unquestioned confid ence in his statesmanship and courage. He therefore in his letter sug gested that the unusual conditions, especially financial and economi cal, in the state of Georgia arising from long continued delay in help ful legislation might induce the president to give to our people a somewhatfuller and more compre hensive statement of his views as the proper policy to be pursued by congress upon questions affecting the stringency of the times and the needs of the people. The governor was also prompted to write this letter by his intense interest in the prosperity of the farmers. He called attention to the fact that the time for the sale of farm products had arrived, that cotton was ready for the market and that he thought if something could be said to these people which would reassure them in believeing that tho financial legislation would be such as to give them a sound and stable medium, that would be very helpful. PRESIDENT CLEVELAND TO GOV ERNOR NORTHEN. Hon. W. J. Northen : My Dear Sir—I hardly know how to reply to your letter of the 15th inst. It seems to me that I am quite plainly on record concerning the financial question. My letter accepting the nomination to the presidency, when read in connec tion with the message lately sent to tba congress in extraordinary session, appears to me to be very explicit. I want a currency that is stable and safe in the hands of our people. will not knowingly be implicated i a condition that will justly make me, in the least degree, answer- able to any laborer or farmer in the United States for a shrinkage in the purchasing power of the dollar he has received for a full do lor's worth of work or for agood dollar’s worth of the product of his toil. ,„i.. I not only want a currency to be of such a character that of dollars will be of equal Phas ing power at home, but I want it to beof such a character as will dem onstrate abroad our wisdom an good faith, thus placing upon a firm foundation our credit among the nations of the earth. H jH g I want our financial conditions and the laws relating to our cur rency so safe and reassuring that those who have money ' u , p and invest it in business and new . • instead of hoarding it- enterprise^ instead c-ling You cannot cure tr „ - « foolish and you cannot prevent the man from hoarding i» - /l ct BAIN BRIDGE.

Yours very truly, Grover Cleveland. C»n Tk* Treasury Suspend Silver Pi-7. ckaves. In a New York special to tfTe Philadelphia Press it is stated that in financial circles in that city there is gossip to the effect that the President is confident that the bill to repeal the Sherman silver law will be passed before Thanksgiv ing day. This gossip is based upon a view of the Sherman silver law that has heretofore received very little attention. This view is that the Secretary of the Treasury has the power to suspend the pur chase of silver, and therefore ac complished by the repeal of the purchase clause of the Sherman silver law. In that law it is declared to “be the established policy of the Uni ted States to maintain the two me tals ai a parity with each other upon a legal ratio.” The New York special speaks of this future of the law as follows: “Now it is said here, and it is believed to be the opinion of Secretary Carlisle and President Cleveland, that it is as much the duty of the treasury de- pyrtment to obey this clause of the law as the purchasing clause, and if at any time the operations of the purchasing clause tend to make it impossible to maintain the parity that another clause demands, then it is clearly within the right of the Secretary so to act as not to threa ten or impair that parity, and if by the constant issuing of treasury notes payable in gold this parity is threatened, the Secretary Carlisle might lawfully refuse to issue any more treasury notes in payment for silver bullion, defending this refusal be declaring that any fur ther issue would destroy the parity between the two metals. Of course there is hope that the Secretary will not be driven to such extremi ty, but the understanding here is that unless a repeal bill passes, or unless explicit authority is given to replenish his gold reserve by the issue of bonds, he will take upon himself the responsibility when the time comes of practically suspending the purchase of sil ver.” It is probable that the Secretary of the Treasury would hesitate a long while before taking the re sponsibility to stop the purchase of silver, but it is not improbable that ho would do so if he became satis fied that there was imminent dan ger of the two metals parting com pany. It is said that the possibility of the secretary’s stopping the pur chase of silver has had the effect of making the silver senators wonder whether, after all, it would not be adviseable to let the Sherman sil ver law be repealed, and take the chances after repeal of getting some legislation favorable to silver.— News. Five Manfred. Atlanta, Sept. 29.—At Mt. \ er- non, in Montgomery county, Ga., at 12 o’clock to-day, five negroes were hanged at one time from the same scaffold. All of the negroes were from North Carolina, and have been working in the turpentine farms in that section of the State. Three of them paid the penalty for murder in 0, Alex Patterson,a rich merchant, and robbing his safe, hist J u!y.

Washington, September 27.—The work of examing the pension claims allowed by Ranm under his famous order No. 164 has progressed far enough to enable a careful estimate to be mabe of the great saving that will do effected by reviewing these eases. A conservative calculation puts the amount at 8128,000,000. This stupendous sum inclfides only the cases allowed by Baum under the act of June 27,1890. All this money will be saved without charging a single pensioner-with fraud. The only charge made is that President Harrison’s commis sioner of pensions, in his eager ness to make political capital for his party and to redeem the pledges of Republican compaign orators, discributed the people’s money to all comers without regard to the validity of claims and in open defi ance of the law. The claims granted under Raum’s interpretation of tho act of 1890 number :>06,000, and the examina tions already made disclose the fact only about 50 per cent of them will stand the test of that provision of the law requiring that pension able disability shall be of a charac ter incapacitating the climant from earning a support by manual la bor. Only 150,000 of the pension ers under this ^act will, therefore, continue to draw their share of the bounty provided by the govern ment for disabled veterans. Of the remaining 50 per cent, one-half, or about 75,000 will be dropped from the rolls. These pensions have been draw ing annual pensions averaging $120, making a total expenditure for 75,000 of $9,000,000 per annum. The “expectation of life’” in these cases is about eleven years, so that had these pensioners been allowed to remain on the rolls they would in that period of time have drawn from the treasury $99,000,000. But this is not all. The commis sioner of pensions has discovered that about 25 cent of the cases al lowed under the act of 1890 have been rated too high, and must be reduced. The average of this re duction is estimated at $36 per an num, which for 75,000 cases would amount to $2,700,000. In the eleven years these pensions are estimated to run, the expenditure would be $29,700,000, which, added to the sav ing upon rejected cases, makes a grand total of $128,700,000, and not one penny of this vast sum is with held f-om a veteran justly entitled to it. About Not Frettinfr. How prone a great many people are to fret. Did you know that fretting, complaining and growl ing shortened life? It does. It wrinkles the skin lik$a baked ap ple. It sours all the “milk of hu man kindness” and turns it to whey, or clabber. Some people Just live on clabber. A great deal of breath is wasted in fretting. Breath is valuable. We all need it. It ought to be used to a good purpose. People fret over the weather, they see danger in all things on this account and fret in anticipation of what is not and may never be. The venerable old negro in the song, “whose name was Uncle Ned,” gives us an admirable exam ple. It is said that when bis teeth failed him, because of his declining years, and he could no longer eat the hoe-cake, he “let the hoe-cake l>e” with charming resignation The Sage of Throndike was one hundred and ton years old when he died, and at that ago his face was as fair an infant ’ 8 - When asime? The secret of this, he repli ed : never allowed my face to packer with the wrinkles of fret fulness.” Don’t pucker. 1 “Do you know what the people of Cape Ann do when it rainsT” was asued of another. Unpon confes sing his ignorancehe was informed that they let it rain. This is true philosophy. It is best noT to fret at evils we cannot help, or even fret for those that we might help; fretting does not better anything. When you want to -fret—why just don't fret.

It is thought that he HfrsomewheepvfrpjpnrMa Ft|» AMTkMIo. The Rom’s Horn. A covetous man cannot own any thing. Keep yourself pure and God will keep yon safe. Love can live where all other good would die. Not one Christian in a thousand praises God enough. Man is most like God when he is most filled with love. Getting rid of God’s man ip not getting rid of God’s truth. The only way to keep clear ef sin is to keep close to Christ. It is seldom that God can get a chance to bless a stingy man. Love never complains that the price it has to pay is too much. The more others are untrue the more God needs loyalty in us. A preacher with a warm ^eart will not long have a cold church. It never makes the day any brighter to growl at the cloudy weather. You can always be happy if you are willing to rejoice with othqrs. The devil gets the man who puts off starting for heaven until to morrow. When you want to walk straight yourself don’t watch somebody elese’s feet. The man who. seeks his reward in this world never gets a price that suits him.. You can tell how much people love the Lord by the kind of com pany they keep. Everything not fully consecrated to God is something the devil still has a claim on. The trouble with the man who knows nothing is that he is the last to find it out. No matter what the devil says, believe what God says, and peace will be the result. God says he loves us, and there is nothing we can do to please him better than to believe it. Give some people mountainmov- ing faith and everybody else’s land would soon be covered with hills. People have to be living very near the throne before they can en joy having their faults pointed otft. It will help you to be more like Christ to remember that every man on earth needs you fora broth- It may be that money will over come the world, but it takes reli gion pure and undefiled to over come the devil. The wickeder a man is the hard er he will try to persuade himself that his conduct is prompted by a good motive. The preaching that has Christ in it always sends somebody away from the church with a determina tion to do better. Sectarianism is like a farmer who tears down his barns to build line fences.

The republican and third party organs are changing that the stringency in money matters has been caused by the democrats. Let’s see about it. Four years ago Mr. Cleveland turned the govern ment over to his successor, Mr. Harrison. Mr. Harrison in his first message to congress used this language: “In submitting my annual mes sage to congress I have great satis faction in being able to say that the general condition of the com mercial and industrial interests of the United States are in the highest degree favorable. A comparison of the existing conditions with those of the most favored period in the history of the country, will, I be- - lievc, show that so high a degree of prosperity, and so general a diffu sion of the comforts of life, were never before enjoyed by our peo ple.” This is a high endorsement of the four years rule by Mr. Cleveland. Here is what Mr. Cleveland said in a message, soon after resuming power, and after four years of re publican rule: “The existence of an alarming and extraordinary business situa tion, involving the welfare and prosperity of all our people, has constrained me to call together in extra session the people’s repre sentatives in congress, to the end that through a wise and patriotic exercise of the legislative duty with which they are solely charged, present evils may be mitigated and dangers threatening the future may be averted.” Note the difference, if you please, in the tone and tenor of the two messages. The first shows the con dition of the country after four years under a democratic president, as testified to by a republican presi dent, and the latter the condition of affairs after four years of republi can rule.

These things have come upon us as the legitimate off spring of thirty years of interfer ence v/ith legitimate trade and de fiance of the rules of honest finance. Four times in the past twenty years the business of the country has been disturbed by panic for which Republican legislation was alone responsible. It has not been In the power of the Democrats at any time since 1861 to put in force re medial legislation until the present congress was brought together in extra session.

At a Regular Term of the Board of Connty Commissioners of Decatnr connty held August 7th, 1893, the fol lowing resolution was adopted: “For a long time, and daring the term of the Board”which preceded the pres ent one, it was necessary, because of the lack of room to accommodate the panpers of the poor honse, for the Connty Commissioners to appropriate a certain snm of money monthly to such person or persons, for their sup port and maintainence. It now appear ing to the Board that it is no longer necessary to appropriate money in this way, and that there is ample room for the aceommodation of each person or persons as are entitled to the appropria tion thus made at the poor house, and it further appearing that there are a large number of persons upon the pau pers list. Be it, therefore, Resolved, By the Board of County Commissioners that from and after the adoption of this resolution, said month ly payments be discontinued, unless the beneficiaries thereof be thoroughly examined by the County Physician (Dr. S. J. Chesnnt) and pronounced by said County Physician a fit and proper sub ject for the poor honse; the person or persons so examined shall go to the poor honse of said connty, there to be taken charge of and cared for as the law di rects in such eases.
