THINGS WORTH REMEMBERING. I
Wen you feel a kind cf goneness about
the stomach it is a sign that your food
doneB not sit well and that you are
about to have a fit of indigestion.
When you begin to feel nervous and
are unable to sit still comfortably;
when your clothes suddenly eeem to I
lose their fit and become too tight In
places the fit of indigestion is surely
upon you.
When this fit of indigestion is repeat
ed from day to day it finally resolves it
self into dyspspsis.

The General Proposes to Wipe Out the
Terminal and Form a New Company.
.new York, May 23.—A meeting of
the Richmond Terminal security hold
ers W6B held today to receive the report
of the committee appointed last week.
General Thon>a°, representing the com
mittee, ;resected a plan of which the
following are the principal points.
The Richmond Terminal Company is
to be wound up and be succeeded by a
new company with $63 000,000 specified
it ck And $70,000,000 common stock;
the present 6 per cent bonds to be given
170 in new preferred stock, the present
per cent bonds and preferred stock o
be given par in new preferred stock,
and corner on stock to receive par in nev
common and to subscribe for $8,000,000
collateral trust two year 6 per cent
notes at $1*2 1-2. These notes are to be
secured by the same securities that ?.
are now pledged for the fl >ating debt
and to exchanged for 170 per cent it
new preferred Block if the plan is sue
cessful. It has not proposed to pay of!
tbe floating debt with the proceeds ot
this assessment of about 10 per cent
but to buy the claims now held, by the
bankers, ard, if necessary, to foreclos
these claims and take prise ssicn for tin
stockholders of the component parts cf
the system. If the lull amount should
not be subscribed by tb
stockholders, the preferred stock wil
then have tbe right to make subscrip
tions for the balance and to take secu
ritiestbat would have gone to the non-
paying common stock and commoi
stock not subscribed will have no right
to the common stock of the new com
pany.
The committee infeeds to submit t<
the recent decisions of the courts in n
gard to tbe control of the Georgia Cen
tral company, at d will issue certificates
f t al : quot partB in holding of those
stocks to each stockholder, making him
actual owner of his propoition&te share
a .similar scheme was carried out by
the Chicago gas trust.
After tbe plan was presented at the
meeting, the matter wss thoroughly
dircussed by those present. Gen
Thomas $nd W. P. Clyde both ma’
lengthy statements in explanation of
the merits' cf the plan. Although no
fi rmal action was taken, it was gener
ally agreed that the plan presented was
the only possible one under which the
company could be reorganized.
On a suggestion made by General
Thomas the meeting voted that a con
sultation committee of fifteen should be
appointed by tbe chair to confer with
committee of three, and the meeting
tten adjourned subject to a call
BRANDY MAKING.
Tbe first crop in middle Georgia this
year is a bountiful one, and many of .our
farmer friends are enquiring if they can
make their fruit into brandy, and want
to know what the law requires on the
flubicct
A representative of the Banner called
on Mr. M. V. Estes, Deputy Collector
Internal Revenue at Athens, and asked
certain questions covering a vast
amount of information, and the answers
are hereto appended. ......
“Mr. Estes, what is required of fruit
distillers, those who desire to make
brandy from fruit alone?”
“The requirements are very simple.
Any persou or persons desiring to
make brandy from apples, peaches,
blackberries, gr»pe3 or other fruit are
required to m tify the Deputy Collector
(in whose division he or they desires io
operate the distillery,) and be will at
ouoe rt gist.tr the stills “for use ’ Every
still whether it be of wood, copper or
other material must be so registered,
that is used to make brandy,
under severe penalties. The capacity
of fruit distillers is determined solely
on the capacity for distillation, wbicn
is airived at by determining the capaci
ty in gallons of each still, making pro
per deductions for boiling space, taking
into consideration the number of boil
ings that can be made in a given time,
that hewerks, and the amount ot fruit
he uses. Experience has reduced the
facts to a point, where absolute results
can be obtained, when the data that the
distiller is required to keep is produced
“Is the distiller ife quired to give any
bond ?”
f, Yes, he must give bond, the penal
sum of which ihail not be less thau the
amount of the tax on the spirits that
can be produced in a period of fifteen
days.”
•♦what is the tax on brat dy?”
“The same as on whisky, ninety cent*
per eallon.”
“When is this tax due and required
to be paid by the givernment? ’
“The tax is due on the 10th of ea-h
mon hf* rthebraudy made the prected
ing month, provided it has been gauged
up to that date bv a regular U. S.
gauger. Ge.urallyihe suaging is be-
uiuu, and the tax cannot be paid « win.
to this delay. If, however, the braudy
is entered into a special bonded ware-
house, provided for under the act ot
March 3'd, 1877, and extended under
tbe actof October IStb, 1838, the pay
ment of the tax can be extended for
four months.”
“Can the distiller easily make th-
amount of brandy he is ri quir. d to
make, and not subjict himst If to an
p aaltF — - - -
“Yes. A distiller is allowed 14 gal
lons peach or spple pomace to ev, r
gallon of brandy he is rt quired to
make, and experiercs shows that this
amount of material will always turn
out a gallon of good brandy of 300
pro u.”
“What is the brandy worth after it is
made ?”
“From $2 50 to $3 50 p’r gall: n bv
the barrel, owirg to the quality. I
i3sel irg now in Athans by letail
at $4.00 per g tllon.
“Is there any d&Dger of glutting the
market and gettingit so cheap that it
will not pay to market ir, ”
“None whatever. Before tne war
thousands of gallons were made all over
this country and retailed at from
thiity to fifty cents per gallon. Now
if a man cannot get at least 2 dollars
pir gallon or $1 00 over the tax, the
fruit is pm rnitted to rot in the o chard.
Thi- year the peach, apple and black
berry crop is very large in northeast
Georgia, while in man. other sections
it is a total failure. The people need
mon y and I see no re'-ion why the
rop should not be turned into it.”
“Where ought brandy distillers to
regi*terif they intend to make brandy ?”
“N iw let every oue in this section
who intends to make brandy notify me
at once by writing to me at Athens^
Georg a Then l will have ample time
in register everybody before
the f'uit begns to rasib
and we ihail have no vexatious delays.
“Arebrardy distillers required to
have a store keeper and guager like
grain distillers?”
“No, each brandy distiller is required
to keep a book in which he enters the
amount; of fruit received and put up.
Then he keeps the. time he works each
day, and reports the brandy he makes
Tbe process is simple. Nothing com
plicated about it. He has no one over
him, no one to watch him, but its al way-
best to be honest and not try to bea'
Uncle Sam. It is only those who try
to beat the government, that have
• rouble with the internal rev nue
laws.”
“Do blackberries make good brandy?”
“Yes, they make fine brandy tbat
will always command a good price
“Is there anything else on this sub
ject that would be interesting to our
readers ?”
Nothing except that I want to pay
that I am glad you have seen fit to ask
me these questions. It will scatter a lot
of information that many people are
now seeking after. The Banner is »1 T
ways ahead in this section in carrying
everything in the way of news to th
people, and I am satisfied many of your
readers will commend your enterpiise in
this particular, even if they don’t want
to make brandy.”
