Wasbinotos, Jth 6.—[Special ]—Mr
Treoholm, the comptroller of tlio cur
rency, in a recent conversation with
yoar representative declared that he was
very heartily in favor of aoma schema
be which the number of national banka
ought be increased all throughout the
land. lie regards the system with much
favor. He thinks the great need of the
. South ii not the re establishment of the
Stale bank system, but an increase in the
number of its national banks.
In reply to an interrogatory he said
t hat ha knew that a certain undefined
ort of prejudice posaetted the South
sern people ainst the national bank sys-
tim, but this was a war prejudice and
would after a while disappear, as the
system became to be generally adopted
and more folly understood. It was true
that the national banks bad stood as a
bulwark between the government and fi
nancial ruin during the course ;of war.
The system was young and was taxed to
tbe utmost but it bsd stood the unu
sual strain and upheld the hands of the
government until peace was restored.
Out in the West, in some of the new
States, the increase in the number of the
national banka was something of a mar-
k vel, The gosling State of Nebraska bad
ore national banks than the great com
‘pwealth of Georgia. He hopes that
ress will device a way by which

’ demanded. He does not tavor the
creation of banks with a less capital than
goO/XX), but every town and village in
the tv.'<th with sufficient means to or
ganize ought to Have one of these.
In reply to a further inquiry he stated
that he could not favor tho bill prepared
and to be presented by Representative
Stewart the purpose of which is to so
amend the national banking laws as to
enable the banks to loan on realty. He
knew this idea was a popular one, and
superficially speaking a feasible one, but
no banker who understands his business
would for a moment favor it.
The national banks are organized to
further the commercial interest of the
land, to move crops, to supply the press

New Your, Jan. f>.—[Serial..]—There
was great excitement at the navy yard in
Brooklyn this morning among the officers
and marines, upon the cry of fire being
raised. They sallied out in undress uni
form and with buckets, pails and short
lsders went to work to put it out. It had
started in the navigation building, on
Warrenton avenue, in the second story,
south end, and had originated in the
officer’s quarters, where pi.ns for new
war vessels to be built in the navy yards
were kept. Admiral Gherardi turned
out and thought that the fire could soon
be suppressed by his own men. The
wind caught the flames and whirled
them up in the air, and soon the Admira
snd others in the yard saw that they
eould not check its progress, and an
alarm was sent out for the fi redepartment
The district engineers,on arriving did net
stop to dally with it, but sent out the
third alarm call. The whole southern
end of the building blazed up in sheets
of flame and made a fine spectacle.
Crowds gathered around the outside
walls, but the msrines guarded the cates
anu would not allow spectators in. They
did not want to let the firemen in. The
building was used for the construction,
navigation, ordnance and equipment de
partments. The officer* of these de
partments were in the two lower stories
and above these are some storage rooms.
The buildinge were 250 feet long by 75
feet wide, and was divided iato small
rooms on the inside. The loss consists
of navigation instruments, valuable draw
ings and designs, and various articles
used in the construction.department

Trade Review.
R. G. Dunn & Co., in their trade re
view of the week, say:
The first week of the year opens with
fewer failures than were anticipated and
with a fair business for the season at all
points reporting. Money markets are
generally easier and complaint of collec
tions are less frequent. Dividends de
clare d by banks and other financial insti
tutions were generally up to expecta
tions, but much ol the money appears to
have been anticipated iu previous invest
ments.
The treasury has put out $3,300,(AX) in
gold and $900,000 in silver since last
week, and it increased the circulation of
all kinds of money $14,000,000 .n Decem
ber and $62,400,000 during the last half
of 1887. But for the miners’ strike and
threats of cotton spinners, who claim
that higher wages were promised when
goods rerched the present prices, the
outlook would be more favorable than
for many weeks past. .

the country during last week number

total, 279, against 2i>3 last week. Fig

Mr. Gottheimer’s spectacles looked

said Mr. Gottheimer, “that my hair is

THE TABERNACLE SERMON.
“THE WOMEN WHO FIGHT THE BAT
TLES OF LIFE ALONE.”
Woman is an Independent Creation and
is Able to Bo Her Own Supervisor and
Achieve Her Own Destiny—The Story
of tho Dove and tho Vulture.
Brooklyn, Jan. 8.—The Rev. T. Do
Witt Talmage, D. D., preached at the
Tabernacle this morning the first of a
■cries of sermons to tbe women of Amer
ica. with practical hints for men. Tbe
subject of this discourse was “The
Women Who Fight tbe Battles of Life
Alone,” and the text was from Proverbs
xiv, l: “Every wise woman buildeth her
house.” Dr. Talmage said:
Woman a mere adjunct to man, an ap
pendix to the masculine volume, an ap
pendage, a sort of afterthought, some
thing thrown in to make things even—
that is the heresy entertained and im
plied by some men. This is evident to
them: Woman’s insignificance as com
pared to man is evident to them, because
Adam was first created and then Eva
They don’t read tho whole story or they
would find that the porpoise and the bear
and the hawk were created before Adam,
so that this argument drawn from prior
ity of creation might prove that the sheep
and the dog were greater than man. No!
W< .min was an independent creation,
an! was intended, if she chose, to
live alone, to walk alone, act alone, think
alone, and fight her battles alone. The
Bible says it is not good for man to bo
alone, but never says it is not good for
woman to be alone, and the simple fact
is that many women who are harnessed
for life in the marriage relation would bo
a thousand fold better off if they were
lone. God makes no mistake, and the
fact that there is such a largo majority
of women in this land proves that he in
tended that multitudes of them should

“Well, I could paint on pottery and

beautiful, and if you have genius for it
go on in that direction. But there are

My advice to all girls and all unmar

a marvelous change for the hitter, and
that women have found out that there
are hundreds of practical things that a
woman can do for a living if she begin

My sisters, give not your time to learn

dispense , with when hard times come,
but connect your skill with the india-
pensables of life. The world will always
want something to wear and something
to cat and shelter and fuel for tho body,
and knowledge for tho mind, and reli
gion for the soul. And all these things
will continue to be the necessaries, and if
you fasten your energies upon occupa
tions and professions thus related the
world will be unable to do without you.
Remember that in proportion as you are

LIQUOR FOR ATHENS*
Tbe Amount of the Anient Consumed
Our Thirdly population.
In passing Mr. J. A. Fowler’s bar-room
just over in Madison county, a few days
ago, a gentleman told the Uannku-
Watchman that he counted 71 empty
liquor barrels in front of this establish
ment, all of which liquor is said to have
been disposed of during the recent holi
days, but Fowler is only “K IMuribu*
Utium." A quarter of a mile this side
of him Mr. K. IL Saulter is located, aud
sells a great deal of liquor; a half niile
further on is Mr, l’hillips' bar .room, and
a mile more and you come to Mr. John
II. Matthews’ bar and distillery. Mr.
Hardman also deals extensively in the
ardent, as also several other parties in
the Free Slate, hut these live bars we
have enumerated, do the largest business
with Athens, sending a large majority of
their products to this city. A party who
is in a position to know tells us th;*t not
less than a barrel of liquor per day
comes to Athens from Madison county
alone, besides a quantity shipped from
Atlanta, Augusta, (ireeneshoro and else
where. During the Christmas holidays
one drummer came to Athens, and it is
said sold over 200 gallons of spirits to
our tifizens, in quantities of a gallon or
more. You can watc »the express w agon
any day and the bulk of its freights will
he cases and jugs of liquor. There are
severa'. social clubs in Athens who buy
their spirits by the barrel and divide it
out among its members, thus getting
wholesale prices.
One not behind the scenes will be
surprised to know the vast quantity of
liquor drank on the sly in our Classic
City. We do not believe that 50 gallons
per day would he too small an estimate,
but in spite of all this you seldom Mre
drunkeft man. A fellow occasionally
appears upon the streets feeling good
and showing his liquor, but even this is
not a common occurrence.
Hut in spite of all this amount of liquor
driuking in Athens, neither our city r.or
Madison county, from which point ii>o<t
is imported, recives one dollar’s revenue
from the sale.
