Some one interested in the sub
ject bas compiled a list of mar
riages between American society
girls and foreigners, and has found
that English noblemen have cap
tured by marriage with American
women about S.)O,OOO,(KX> of our cold

were sighing and yearning for a
grasp on those fortunes.
NORTH GEORGIA SHOULD HE “IN IT."
The old claim that north Georgia
is entitled to the governshisp may
have a chestnutty ring to some in
other parts of the state, but in truth
it is based upon most plausible
grounds. And then she has some
mighty good timber within her
bounds. There are near a dozen
we could name who could till every
requirement, but representing the
younger strength in democracy and
all that is progressive in general
affairs, we know of no gentleman
whose general fitness stands out in
holder relief than the lion. Steve
Clay, of Cobb. Georgia’s senate
never had a finer presiding officer
than he; he is broad, honest, alert
and possesses a fine modicum of
executive skill coupled with good
common sense. North Georgia
must be in it, and the boys are go
ing to whoop it for Steve Clay pret
ty surely.
VOTE FOR BONDS.
Next Saturday the people of Car
fersville will be called upon to de
cide whether th“ city shall own the
water works, or leave it to a cor
poration to furnish water to our peo
ple.
The contract made by'the city
council which the people are asked
to ratify is a most favorable one
Generally the Issuance rit bonds'is
accompanied by more or less ex
pense, but in this instance the peo
ple are asked to vote for only
enough to pay for the water plant
without any expenses and at
a low estimate. The interest on
the bonds seems to be the only
bugaboo which some of our people
are afraid of and it is only five per
cent., yet these same people will
borrow money at ten and twelve
per cent, and think nothing of it.
If there should never be any reve
nues from the water plant it might
be burdensome to pay the interest
a id accumulate the principal, but
in the course of a year or two these
revenues will in all probability
pay the interest or so much of it,
that the taxes levied for this pur
pose will tie merely nominal.
It will be a good investment for
the town and the people will real
ize this when the conveniences
which the ownership will give
them are put in operation. The
city council was elected with in
structions to purchase the plant,
they have made the deal, and it
now devolves upon the people to
ratify their work %t the polls.

SURROUNDED BY MYSTERY!
A Great Mistake.
A recent discovery Is that headache,
dizziness, dullness, confusion of the mind,
etc., are due to derangement of the nerve
centers which supply the brain with nerve
force} that indigestion, dyspepsia, neuralgia,
wind in stomach, etc., arise from the derange
ment of the nerve centers supplying these or
gans with nerve fluid or force. This is likewise
true of many diseases of the heart and lungs.
The nerve system is like a telegraph system,
as will he seen by the accompanying
cut. The little
student of nervous diseases, and author
ot many noted treatises on the latter subject,
long siuce realized the truth of the first
statement, and his Restorative Nervine
Is prepared on that principle. Its success
in curing all diseases arising from derange
ment of the nervous system Is wonder-
Tul, as the thousands of unsolicited testimo
nials in possession of the company manufac
turing the remedy amply prove.

dren. Mothers have repeatedly told me of its
good effect upon their children."
Dr. G. C. Osgood,
Lowell, Mass.
“ Castoria is the best remedy for children of
which lam acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the real
interest of their children, and use Castoria in
stead of the variousquack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their throats, thereby sending
them to premature graves.”

WALL STREET AND THE FINANCE.
Secretary Carlisle is the first head
of the treasury department in
many a long day who has not
deemed it necessary to rush off to
Wall street to consult with the
bankers of New York in every fi
nancial emergency of more or less
mome.it. The secretary is doubt
less of the opinion, that he can man
age the financial affairs of the gov
ernment, at his headquarters in
Wasiiington, without invoking the
aid and advice of Wall street on
every occasion. He has not forgot
ten the opposition threatened by its
bankers when he introduced his hill
to refund a portion of the public
debt at per cent, interest. This
opposition was all the more unjusti
fiable in view of the fact that the
same loans were soon afterward re
funded at 3 per cent, without the
least difficulty. It sometimes hap
pens that the interests of certain
monetary cliques in New York are
not in harmony; and Secretary Car
lisle prefers to consult the interests
of the country, at the risk of offend
ing these cliques.
In the present situation an opin
ion, which may be largely swayed
by self-interest, prevails in Wall
street that a government loan is the
only means of maintaining the gold
reserve in the treasury. Secretary
Carlisle, on the other hand, does not
deem it advisable to increase the
interest-hearing debt until such a
step can no longer he avoided; and
with the !|'lt)0,0()0,0Q0 gold reserve
in the treasury still intact, its ur
gency is not imminent. Hut should
a loan become necessary it might
be expedient to put it on the money
markets of Europe, whither the
gold of this country is now flowing.
Most European investors would pre
fer a gold loan of this country to
the loan which the bankrupt gov
ernment of Austra is seeking to
place. Should tjhe loan be issued at
home the same interests that are
now so eagerlv urging its issue
would soon create a necessity for
more borrowing in order to main
tain ’the treasury supply of gold.
But the secretary has evidently no
intention of making a loan on the
advice of Wall street until every
other means of continuing gold pay
ments at the treasury shall have
been exhausted.

Castoria,
“ Castoria Is so well adapted to children that

“ Our physicians in the children's depart
ment have spoken highly of their experi
ence in their outside practice with Castoria,
and although we only have among our
medical supplies what is known as regular
products, yet we are free to confess that the
merits of Castoria has won us to look with
favor upon it.”

A TELEPHONE GIRL’S SUNDAY WORK.
The suspension of Miss Sadie
Means of Columbia, S. C., from
membership in the Presbyterian
church has excited a religious con
troversy regarding Sunday work by
professed Christians. Mi s Means
is a young lady of exemplary
character, who, being an orphan
without other means of support,
gains a livelihood as day operator
in a telephone exchange. Hearing!
that this position forced her to work
on Sunday, the session of thq|
church to which she belonged rep-' !
rinmnded her, and tried to induce ;
her to accept a place as saleswoman
at a smaller salary. Miss Meapa
declined this offer and asked for a 1
letter of dismissal from the eongre-,
gation. The session not only re
fused the request, although no
charges against the applicant were
pending, but debarred Miss Means
from the sacrament of communion.
The Charleston Presbytery, to
which the young lady appealed, sub
sequently ratified this action.
The general ground of the oppo
sition to this decision is that it is j
against the spirit of enlightened
and tolerant Christianity. The!
friends of Miss Means claim in ad- j
dition, ho vever, that she is the ob
ject of class persecution, alleging
that other members of the same
congregation engage regularly in
secular toil on Sunday, and are ad
mitted to communion without hin-j
drance or protest. Without deny
ing the right of a denomination or
sect to make such rules as it sees
fit, it is insisted that these rules
should he impartially enforced. It:
is plain that such a rigid policy, 1
should it be generally adopted,
would include* hundreds of thou
sands of men and women now em
ployed in hotels and private fami
lies, on railroads and steamships
and in the telephone and telegraph
service. Leading Presbyterians j
have expressed sympathy with Miss J
Means, and sustained by this en- j
epuragement she has appealed to j
the synod, which, her supporters
confidently believe, will eventually
restore her to her former standing
in the church.
THE SOUTH AND IMMIGRATION.
A Chicago paper (republican,
of course ) says that the presence
of the negio in the south aceounnts
for the fact that the great majority
of immigrants have gone to the
northwest instead of to the states
south of the Ohio.
It is not the presence of the negro
in the south, however that is so
much to blame for this as it is the
policy of the repuplican press in the
treatment of %very difference of
opinion between white people and
negroes thinks the St. Louis Repub
lic. For many years it was the
custom ot the leading republican
organ of Chicago to speak of white
democrats in the southern states
as “nigger-chasers,” and everything
it said on the subject was calculated
to produce the impression that the

negroes were a cowardly hut turbu
lent and bloodthirsty race,only kept
from violence by the presence of a
race still more turbulent and blood
thirsty. An immigrant, not famil
iar with real conditions, would have
been convinced that it was danger
ous to live among the negroes of
the south and still more dangerous
to live among the white people.
It is true that in the last four or
five years there has been a marked
improvement in the tone of the Re
publican press, and it is only occas
ionally that it is now possible to
find a republican paper indulging
in those reckless and malicious at
tacks on the southern states that
were once characteristic of the en
tire republican press. While this
is cause for congratulation, the for
mer attitude of the republi
can press must not be forgotten
in considering the causes which
have turned immigration away
from the south.
The presence of well-trained, in
dustrious negroes is not a disadvan
tage to any community. Properly
directed, they are of.the greatest
advantage in developing the mate
rial resources of the community of
which they are a part. They rath
er supplement than compete with
white labor, and when the real sit
uation at the south is understood;
when the artificial race issue disap
pears, their presence at the south
will not keep immigrants away
from It.
In spite of quarter of a century
of constant attack from the republi
can party the south is growing in
every direction, and it will not be
long now before the stream of im
migration that into the
new lands of the northwest will be
turned southwards.
The boy king of Servia has ousted
his regents and ministers and taken

sia and Austria by the ears and the

France on the one side and Italy,
Germany, and England on the other

spent a decade watching the ‘‘war

A recent dispatch from Bowling
Green, Ky. says:
A religious wave has swept over
Bowling Green and has carried
everything before it. The most
interesting results have followed.
Sam Jones was induced by some
of his admirers to come to this city
and rescue it from its depths of sin.
He preached ten days, and during
that time more than 2,400 people
made professions of religion, 300 of
the number joining the various
churches Sunday and being bap
tized last night. Besides the work
of converting sinners the Georgia
evangelist started a great moral
wave against the liquor traffic, and
for the next twelve months,at least,
Bowling Green inebriates will irri
gate their stomachs at the town
pump, the city council having re
fused to reissue the saloon licenses.
Two weeks ago the man who had
predicted that the saloons of Bow
ling Green would he closed so soon
would have been put down as crazy,
and the fact that they are to be clo
sed is the work of the great moral
reform which was inaugurated by
Sam Jones. There are forty-three
saloons in the city.
Georgia a Unique State.
[Orange (Va.) Observer.}
Through the medium of the city of
Atlanta, Georgia has'eome to be ad
vertised and recognized as the most
unique state in the union. It has
developed more persons of genius
than any other state since the war.
A peculiarity of the soil Or atmos
phere or other environment is the
suddenness with which they bound
into fame.
A still greater peculiarity is the
individuality of her geniuses. They
are like none others that have ex
isted, and they are not likely to be
imitated in succeeding generations
Look at Grady, the matchless or
ator, budding into fame like a flash
of lightning. Look at Hoke Smith,
the hero of democracy, winning
fame for his newspaper and a cab
inet office, in a brilliant dash that
inspires universal admiration.
What unique characters are found
in Sam Jones, the most marvelous
lump of genius of the age; Lulu
Hurst, whose physical feats put
Sullivan and Corbett to shame;
Ham, the “Georgia cracker” and
exterminator of snollygosters; Bill
Arp, the hayseed philosopher and
humorist; Sam Small, the skv
seraping prohihitionst; J C. Harris’
“Unde Remus,” etc., etc. We cannot
complete the list.
