On the firrtinst. the Relief Associa tion ot Brunswick tact m secret s«- sion and passed resolutions thanking the country lor the generous a d be stowed and withdrawing the appeal for further assistance. 'Che following Is the action of the meeting : .When the association'met the &»«» were closed and Hon. Jacob E. D. arose from his chair and said in sub stance : “Gentlemen: You are all aware, from personal observation arid from newspaper articles, of the trouble and affliction with which Bruoswxk has been visited. The members of this association and all of r-cr citizens know how near the the curse of ferns inc came tc our doers to add its hor rors to that ol the dreaded fevt r. 4, Onc day when our p^il was great* est and tho property ol Brunswick endangered b7 the threats and mui- terings that lead to such riots as only hungry people c.m infl.ct, the press of this entire country earns to our rescue and by its influence aroused the peo> pic to our necessities. The people responded well and now we find that by carefully husbanding the goods now en route and these in preparation, for shipment, that enough wiil be had for our people. Therefore, as we de sire no nurpius left over, it is the sense of the individual member: this body to thank the public and the press and withdraw oar appeal br aid.” In this direction the following paper haa been prepared: To the Pi ess am! Ch aritable Peopl ed Our Common Country: Recog nizing the feet that even charity, that divincst attribute of human character at limes reaches its limit, the r committee of Brunswick is const) ed, through that great medium, public press, to announce that w month’s provision on hand,andcn< funds, carefully and judiciously pended, to meet our immediate wants, that it would be unkind to a generous people to receive further contributions which our actual necessities do not demand. It would be unjust to ac^ cept a greater amount than could be used in the present emergency. Times arc hard; mont y scarce, and wo desire no surplus ltf-. over. Let the luture take care of us/d. From ati over this broad land cur cry of distress has been answered, the charity of the Christian people has enabled us to care for our sick, to feed lh: hungry and bury our dead. We could not ask more. Words fid to iwj.r all Thanksgiving Day Named Washington, N»v. 3.—Tho Presi dent to-day foiled the following Thanksgiving proclamation By the President of the United States of America: While the American people should every day remember with praise and thanksgiving the divine goodness and mercy wjpeh have followed them since their beginning as a nation, it is fitting that one day in each year should be especially devoted to the contemplation ot blessings we have received from the bands of God, and to the grateful acknowledgment ot Ids loving kindne-s. Therefore, I, Grover Cleveland, President of the Uuited States, do hereby designate and set apart Thurs day, the 30th day of the present month of Hot ember, *a a day of thanksgiving nnd praise, to be kept and observed by ail the people of our land. On that day let us forego our ordi nary work and employments and as semble in our usual places of worship, where wo may recall all that God has done for us, and where irom grateful hearts, our united tribute of praise and song may reach the throne of grace. L-it the reunion of kindred and the s-icial meeting of friends lend cheer and enjoyment to the duty, and The number of judges of the su preme court of this slate should be incrc»*cd. ^ and the salaries of the judges should be increased. There is no lawyer in the state who has cases before the court who does not know that the court is over burdened with work. Indeed, the number of cases appealed to the court is so great that the judges cannot give them as care ful attention as they ought to have. - When the eiurt was created it had as many judges as it oow has, withstanding the fact that it had not one-fourth as much business as now comes before it. The judges then had time to render decisions Uni com manded attention not only within the state, but also in other states. How the judges have time to write opinions in very few cases, and they cannot give as much tune to searching and comparing authorities as they should. rite above from the News states the situation clearly. The number of judges should be increased, not only increased, but their pay should be increased. And this reminds us that the pay of the superior court judges is* too small.

By the President. Walter Q. Gresham, Secretary of State. Washington, Nov. 3.—The trass* ury department to day ordered the superintendents of the mints at San Francisco and New Orleans to resume the coinage, euspended some time ago, of standard silver dollars. It is for the purpose of utilizing the aeigui: rage that the coinage of standard silver dollars is resumed. The expectation is that about one and a half million can be coined at once, which will give the treasury the seigniorage »of about five hundred thousand dollars. It is the intention of the treasury department, as the other mints be come clear of gold coinage, to have them also coin silver and thus in crease the coinage to from three and one-half to four and one-half million dollars per month. The above from Washington should convince the silver men that Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Carlisle, the leaders of tho democratic party, are not gaged, as lias been charged, in de monetizing silver. Mr. Cleveland, & long aa he is president will mak< cveiv silver dollar worth one hun dred cents. The thoughtful of the country will not be misled by Simpson, Pefler & Co, Th*y would, if they could, flood the country with what they arc pleased to terra “cheap money.' 1 Chari. ready to submit to Congress when the regular cession convenes in December. Geary law. sis? if invested with the fullest power, has decided the question ot unconditional repeal. It is final. Those democrats who weie opposed to the result have had their say, aud further di«pu : e will be unprofitable. AU mu* agree that what was done was a fair, honest business fulfilment of one of the party pledges made in the Chicago conven tion. It has been carried by the dom inant party majority. Ml that cao be declared with precision as to the will of the people is lhat those who have accomplished unconditional repeal are the people’s representatives—the pres ident, the House and the Senate— but recently elected by the peoplr, iu li possess! an of their delegated powers. A pathetic leave taking: A cor respondent of the Ram’s Horn > talcs that a certain country minister took permanent leave ol his congregation with the following remarks: “Broth ers and sisters, I come to say good-by. I don’t think God loves this church very much, because none of you ever die. I don’t think you love each other, because I never marry any of you. I don’t think you love me, because you have not paid my salary ; your donations are mouldy fruits and wormy apples, and ‘by their lruita ye shall know them.’ Brothers, I am going away from you to a better place, I have been called to be chaplain of a penitentiary. Where I go ye cannot come, but I go to pre pare n place for you, and may the Lord have mercy oa youi souls. Good-by.” The State Legislature. Atlanta, Nov. 4 —The Senate was it in session to-day, and there was barely a quorum, in the House, 82 members being absent. Mr. Fleming, ol Richmond, intro duced three bd’-s to-day to amend the tax laws. One was to make taxes res turnable on the 1st of March instead of April, and another to require li cense of agents of brewing companies. The other is to tax wholesales d ialers in fresh meats $500. This is done be-* cause the supreme court decided that western packing houses, doing cold storage business in Georgia are not liable. The bill oow propones to tax the wholesale dealers in Georgia* Preparing the Message. Washington, Nov. 6.—President Cleveland .came iu from Wood'ey early this morning and met Chair man Wilson, of West Virginia, Chair man of the Ways and Means corn- mitee, who has chargo of the larifl bill. They shut themselves up nnd are engaged in the preparation of the President’s message of the tariff bill. on, S. C., Nov. 4.—In tie case of Sadie Mean*, the telephone girl, who was expelled from the second Presbyter an church at Columbia for working in the telvp >ne exchange on Sunday, the South Carolina synod to day at Clinton ordered that the action of the Charleston presbytery in the case be annulled, and that the session of the church in Columbia ‘ restore Sadie 11. Means to all her rights and priviliges as a member in fu’I com munion in said church ” The action of the synod will be very generally approved. If the men who expelled the young lady from the church lor working to support her orphaned little brothers and sisters never commit a greater sin than has she, they may read their titles clear to mansions in the skies. The telephone, like the telegraph, has become a ne cessity. It cannot bs dispensed with on Sunday. In cases of <-udden illness it is used in every city on ike conti nent, almost, to summon a physician. Someone has to woik them. And they should be allowed to do so with out being prosecuted or persecuted. Miss Means stands as good chance f-*r Heaven as the straight laced, puritan ical people who expelled her from the church. The great debate on the repeal ot the purchasing clause of the Sherman act lasted in the Senate sixty-one days, fonrteeu of which was a continu ed session. Twenty million words were spoken. The speeches will fill five bound volumes of the Congress* ional Record, and in ordinary news* paper type would stretch 1,600 miles, from the Atlantic coast to the Rocky Mountains. What a s?upenduou3 amount of wind. While it was being let of! the South lost many millions of dollars.—Valdosta Times. New Orleans, Nov. 5.—Instructions were received by Supt. Cade, of the mint, in this city, on Nov. 3, to pro ceed to the coinage of standard silver dollars. This was at once done, and tince that time, all the forces at the mint have been actively at work. The coinage is made from the silver bul lion purchased under the Sherman act, of which there is in this mint something over $10,000,000. It will thus be seen that Cleveland has struck silvor auother ‘blow.” Mr. Cleveland is going to take care of all kinds of currency, gold, silver and paper. Some of his critics in Geor gia, however, would find fault with him were he to order the cat ional debt paid ofl iu uickles. The people are disgusted with tho continued charges that Cleveland is * striking down silver-” H6 will do one thing; not a silver dollar will, be foutd un der his administration which will not command one hundred cents. Now Yotk, Nov. 3.—R. G. Dunn & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: “Tho repeal of the silver purchase act does good already. The business world in every part ot the ountry reckons it helpful, and the tone of trade is more confident. It is hardly time as yet for the effects to bo felt to any great extent in manufactures. But bankers are more liberal in ac commodations, and merchants more hopeful in purchasing. Washington, Nov, 3.—Private Sec retary Tnurbcr says there is no foun dation whatever for the report that crank attempted to assassinate Presi dent Cleveland to-day. • The Inquiry made by an Associated Press reporter was the first that he or any one cons nected with the White house had beard of the rumor. The police were also ignorant of such an attempt on the President’s life, and were confident that the report was false. Washington, Nov. 3.—This after noon, at 3 o’clock the extraordinary session of the Fifty—third congress, after being in session 67 days and 3 hours, adjourned without day. Washington, Nov. 3.—President Cleveland today signed the bill ex* tending for six months, the time io which Chinese can register under the Popu’ist cranks and third party howlers say that Mr. Cleveland wants to crush out silver. In the face of of this the information is officially given out from the treasury depart ment lhat the great bulk of silver bullion on hand, bullion bought under the Sherman act, is to be coined at the rate of about four million dollars per month. And Grover Cleveland says that each dollar coined shall be worth full one hundred centre Nearly all ihe states have laws for bidding the carrying ot concealed weapons. With every epidemic of murderous crankdnm there is a de mand lhat such laws shad be enforced, but they are not. Hundreds ot men carry pistols and very seldom i person punished for such a misde meanor. If every tgan or boy caught with a revolver in his pocket punished as the law prescribes, a good many tragedies might be avert ed.—The Springfield Uoion. An exchange tells of a woman who bought a new-fangled coffee pot from a peddler. Io the evening she showed it to her husband, a hardware dealer, who told her he had the same thing in his store for half the price she paid. “Well,” said . she, “why don’t you advertise? Nobody ever knows what you have for sale,” If the president should attend the Augusta exposition at the earnest bo* Imitation of the management, some of his enemies in Georgia will donbtli charge that his purpose in coming was to “strike down silver.” How long will the public be deceived by these senseless, baseless charges? Certain papers charge, that John Sherman andother leading republicans are controlling Grover Cleveland aud John G. Carlisle, as to financial legist lation. This is t£e veriest bosh. Get tip some other charge; this one-will not go. Atlanta. Nov. 1st, *03. The pdft month, with local exceptions, tins been uniformly favorable for the sowing of aU trope, and in this work oar f&rmora hpve made fine headway. r THE'COTTON crCp'Ts virtually gathered and, with few oxcoptions, never were ita results xhoro disappointing. At one time the crop outlook through the state, with tho excep^on of northwest Goorgla, was most encouraging. From unpropritious seasons in that particular section the boon altpost uniformly unprom ising, and from rite time it came out of the ground all through the growing and matting season, and until fully matured and gathered, offered little hope, other sections, however, tjte crop at time promised well, and tho general failure in results, combined with un fortunately low prices, havo brought disappointment and- gloom to almost every farmhouse in Georgia. The per plexing and unsatisfactory condition of our monotary affairs has added its de pression of _ influence, and altogether Our farmers as a class are troubled by anxious forebodings. Moro espodally is this true of those who havo neglected diversity of crops and omplo homo- rafcjod provisions. ECONOMY has been tho watchword and making tho present crop, and its principles havo been more generally practiced this year than for soveral years past. In many instances mon havo denied themselves and families necossary comforts. But tho sacrifioo seoms unavailing, and farmers, in common with workingmon of all classes, aro suffering, though it may bo in less degree, from tho desig nated condition of tho times. But, whilo much of the present un rest nnd dissatisfaction can bo traced to defect!vo financial laws, wo, as farmers, must admit that, as a dlass, we have in- vitod disaster by ignoring some of the plainest aud simplest business rules. We readily admit that In our efforts to cultivate much of oar land, wo aro yearly taxing it beyond that point whoro could wo expoet oven undor tho mo9t favorablo seasons and with tho most persistent and faithful work to realize more than tho coat of production. No hope of profit, ovon under the best soa- 6on3 and beat management. With un- propitious seasons the result is actual loss, and oftentimes suffering. Will wo never learn wisdom from hard experi ence, or is tho absolute loss of our prop erty and total inability to socuro sup plies on timo tho only sure chock on moiuexuv, vro wuungiy aunnt arc raise in promisee and unattainablo in accom plishment. We havo boon working for immediate ro3ults without considering the injury to our lands or our ability to execute tho plans, which wo havo but partially matured. Recognizing our mfetako tho only sound policy is to CHANGE OUB PLAN for tho future. Permit mo to emphasize some of tho mistakes and to reiterate the warning, which I have so often ut tered. The first and most grievous, tho one which has caused, ua the greatest number of disappointments as well as changed the character of our sbllx la planting the same land year after year in tho same dean-hood and cultivated crone, without rest or change. On this subject I quote tho following from the American Agriculturist, showing how universal the practice and how impor tant to apply the retqedy: “The fanner Vho owns his form is concerned quite has mach for its future aster its present productiveness. He cannot afford, oten under pressure of seeming necessity, to soli tho fertility rf his land by the bushel until its decreas ing pfodnctlvenessmokes longer coltlva tion impossible.

In looking at this Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 5.—Elmer E. Raub, a young farmer from Fu>ney, Henry county, Missouri, was aircst-.d on his arrival in this city tc»day, a dispatch having been received to the effect that he was crazy and had an nounced his intention of going to Washington to sec President Cleve land. Raub sas not violent and he made no threats, but he said he had as good a right to be president as President Cleveland had and he want ed to talk with President Cleveland about the matter. If he could not be president of the United States he said he ought, at least, to be president of Henry county, Missouri. A po ice officer remarked to Raub, “Tncre have been a good many men like you running around of late,” and the would-be president replied, -Yes, and one of them shot Mayer Harrison, in Chicago the other day.” Washington, Nov. 4.—The total amount of paper currency outataud ingOct. 31, 1894, was $1,143,117, 570, ot which $341,681,016 was in United States notes. $152,735,188 in treasury notes. $208,826,693 in na^ tional bank notes, $79,005,169 in gold certificates. $333,414,504 in ails ver certificates and $22,425,000 in currency certificates.

Our-farmers should remember from their past experience that they cannot afford to start a crop in the vain hope that after advancing it to a certain stage, BOme one el3o will bo willing to risk the Supplies to kcop It going. Tho mer chant, liko tho fanner, haa drifted along in the sarno current, both shutting their eyes to tho dangerous snngs all along thoir course.

Our mutual hopes have been built upon sand fou» flattens and the props seem entirely §wopt away.
