This Week in the Middle and
Eastern States.
Xew York, Oct. 27.—“ We have
be republicans on the run in New

Selaware,” said ex-Governor Stone,
j Missouri, who is managing
jryan’s campaign in the eastern
tates, “and we will keep them on
he run. We will make them run
aster during the coming week,
be last week of the campaign.”
When ex-Governor Stone made
his statement today he had just
iad a conference with Mr. Bryan
it the Hoffman House.
"We have decided,” continued
be ex-Governor, “to make one of
he most aggressive fights in New
fork, New Jersey, Connecticut
md Delaware next week that was
ever known during the last days of
a national campaign. Nearly ev
ery one of the star orators of the
j>arty will be brought to the east.
galaxy of noted orators.
"Among the speakers who will
be kept busy in the eastern states
from now until election day are
David B. Hill, W. Bourke Cockran,
Senator Wellington,Webster Davis,
Senator Daniels, of Virginia; Con
gressman John S. Williams, of
Mississippi; Congressman Living
ston, of Geotgia; George Fred Wil
liams, of Massachusetts; Dr. W.
L. Habercorn and Sigismund
Zeisler, the noted German orators,
of Chicago, who were opposed to
Bryan in 1896.”
“Have you shifted the demo
cratic attack from the western
istates to the middle and the eastern
states?” ex-Governor Stone was
lasted.

AFTER THE LABOR VOTE.
A special effort is being made by
the democrats to throw the solid
organized labor vote of New’ York,
New Jersey, Connecticut and Dela
ware to Bryan. It is said that
four years ago he only polled 60
oer cent, of the vote of organized
labor in these states.
Ex. Senator Gorman, who has
been making a “still hunt” fight
in Maryland, is now directing his
veteran followers. He has inform
ed Mr. Bryan that Maryland is all
right and tells the democratic
standard bearer not to be worried
over its electoral votes.
Handled Roundlap Bales With Profit
The following was addressed to
the Oakland Gin Company, Au
gust 15, by Messrs. Harvey, Black
& Cos., Moore & Herron, A. P.
Herron, Moore & Cos., and Marders
& Newburger: “We the under
signed merchants and cotton buy
ers of Oakland, Miss., bought the
roundlap bale cotton ginned and
pressed at your plant in this place
during the latter portion of last
season, and we take pleasure in
stating that we had no trouble in
selling the cotton to advantage and
that we found your system of
handling cotton very satisfactory.”
Wherever there is a roundlap
plant these bales can be han
dled by merchants and local buy
ers with more profit and less trou
ble than square bales. Limits are
furnished every day and cotton
can be sold on the day it is bought
w’ith no risk on the market, or
held with the certainty that it can
be sold at any time at the highest
market value of the cotton plus an
increased price because it is in
roundlap bales.

ARREST OF
COUNTERFEITERS
Three Handlers of Spurious Coin
from Rome-
TRIED BEFORE JUDGEMURPHEY
Their Moulds and Appliances and
Samplesofthe Coin Secured
and Exhibited In Court.
Deputy Marshal J. D. Goode, of
this city, brought over from Rome
Monday afternoon three counter
feiters. They were: Jeff Nix, Sam
Pulliam and J. M. Brown, and
were brought here for preliminary
trial before Judge R. W. Murphey,
the nearest U. S. Commissioner.
The trial took place Tuesday.
Chief W. H. Steele and five of
Rome’s policemen, F. H. Schlap
bach, R. H. Copeland, R. F. Logan,
J. A. Collier and W. L. Collier,
came over to testify in the case.
According to the officers, spur
ious coin has been in circulation
about Rome ever since last Christ
mas, business men now and then
accidentally discovering an occa
sional piece among their receipts.
Of late the amount circulated has
seemed an increase and the officers,
on guard constantly for a clue, at
last got it from one of the men just
arrested who, possibly getting
scared and to try to shift the guilty,
made himself a rather easy victim.
Sam Pulliam asked officer Cope
land the probable consequences of
bearing sparious coin on the per
son. The officer told him he would
consult a brother officer and would
give his opinion. Logan posted
Mr. Schlapbach, another shrewd
member of the force. Pulliam was
led by degrees into a scheme to dis
close his knowledge of the where
abouts of such coin, and the arrests
followed as a consequence. Pull
iam’s coin shown the officers was in
a tobacco bag and had soapstone
with it, as he said to preserve the
brightness. An appointment was
made with the officers,who offered
to aid in the counterfeiting to car
ry out their designs, to have Pull
iam, after providing him with
metal, go to Schlapbaeh’s house.
Thus the officer got possession of
the mould.
The arrests were cautiously
planned, lest the securing of one
might cause others to escape. Nix
was known to be implicated and he
and Pulliam were arrested together.
Brown’s arrest soon followed. On
Pulliam’s person were found two
perfect and one imperfect 50 cent
pieces of the counterfeit. On
Brown’s were found four perfect
50 cent pieces and one dollar piece
of the spurious stuff. At Pulliam’s
home, which was saerched by the
officers, were found bits of metal,
such as babbit, brass, etc., and a
piece of tin bucket top mashed so
as to use as a ladle, and an iron
spoon, evidently, used for the deli
cate pouring of metal into the
mould. At Nix’s home was found
some pieces of metal in a grip and
some scrappings of plaster of paris,
evidently from a mould, and a file.
All these pieces of coin and appli
ances were exhibited in court.
Judge Murphey, after hearing
the evidence bound the men over,
each in a bond of five hundred dol
lars.
Mr. J. M. Wright, of the secret
service, whose headquarters is in
Atlanta went to Rome, when the
arrests were made and took charge
of the coins and appliances and
was present at the trial to put them
in evidence.

Ross Low r place in Brown county,
Dec. 1875. He w r as raised in

Known as a boy and young man of
sterling worth, moral and indus
trious. For several months he
has been employed on a ranch near
Lubbock. On Sept 18th while rid
ing near Stanton his horse stepped
in a dog hole and fell on him in
juring him internally. His father
and mother were at once summon
ed to his side. Thev started to
bring him home, but at Abiline he
died. His remains were brought
to Brownwood by the Fort Worth
train, Sept. 21. A large number
of his old friends met his remains
at the depot aud accompanied them
to Greenleaf cemetery, where ap
propriate services were conducted
by the old family pastor Dr. Mc-
Clelland. The number present
and its large offerings well attest

and the son are held. His body

COUNTRY RULED^BYHANNA-
Scorching Words Uttered by a Life
long Republican.
iiou. Kiekham Scanlan, a life
long republican of Illinois, in his
great speech in Chicago last week,
gave his reasons for abandoning
his party. He said:
“As au Abraham Lincoln repub
lican, I wish to state the reasons
that have caused me to espouse
the candidacy of Mr. Bryan. Abra
ham Lincoln was a firm believer in
democratic government, as taught
by Thomas Jefferson, and he desig
nated all those who sought to
change the Jeffersonian foundation
of our government as ‘sappers and
miners of returning despotism.’and
he cried aloud to his countrymen
to beware of all those servants of
kings.
“When, by the providence of
God, our country has been blessed
by great and abundant harvests,
this confident administration claims
the credit of any benefits to the
people arising therefrom, but when
it is taunted with its conduct in
the Philippines and Porto Rico, it
raises its hands to high heaven
and exclaims, ‘Tis the will of God.’
“The government is controlled
by a commercial pirate. He heads
a class of men who are destroying
legitimate business and making
servitude of labor. With him, the
declaration of independence and
the constitution are moldly docu
ments not to be considered in this
modern day. He regards principle
as the dream of fools, and is a firm
believer in the doctrine that every
man has his price. Under his in
fluence a wave of corrupt commer
cialism has swept over the coun
try that threatens not only the
foundations of honest business, but
the very life of the republic, This
contest will decide whether the na
tion created for the people can en
dure. On which side shall I fight?
I am an Abiaham Lincoln repub
lican My duty is clear! I will
stand by Bryan, the declaration of
independence, the constitution and
the republic.”

WISE WORDS SHACABAC-
Prof. Haskins Quotes Them at the
Credit Men’s Dinner.
New York Sun.
At the dinner of the credit men
held in New York last week Dean
Charles Waldo Haskins, of the
New York University School of
Commerce, Accounts and Finance,
said in the course of his speech:
“I have just been reading the
recovered fragments of the wisdom
of Shacabac, the Oriental philoso
pher, and perhaps a few of these
gems of thought may be of sugges
tive use to our study of the credit
system of the western world:
“ ‘We have all,’ he says ‘more or
less to do with commerce. We buy
goods, and sometimes we pay for
them. We sell the precious pro
ducts of our hands or brains at the
best price we can get. If the buyer
pays up, we are sorry that we did
not chargs him more. If he fails,
we are glad that he did decide to
pay less on the dollar.’
“ ‘Be diligent,’ he continues, ‘in
keeping your accounts. It is bet
ter to charge an item twice than to
forget to charge it once. This is
the true principle of double entry.’
“‘Pay as you go,’ he says, ‘but
not if you intend going for good.’
“‘ln selling goods by sample,’
he tells us again, ‘let the samples
be at least as good as the merchan
dise. Do not j>ut all the best figs
at the top of the crate. Have just
as good a layer in the bottom also;
for there aie sometimes evilminded
persons who open the package at
that end.’
“Concerning truth he gives this
advice; ‘Do not believe all that vou
hear or see—not even in the news
papers. Advertisers are human
and liable to err.
“ ‘Be not angry with your credi
tors if they importune you. It is
nobler to forgive and forget them.
“ ‘Three removes are as bad as
a fire; but that,’ Shacabac says,
depends largely on how you stand
with the underwriters.’
“Once when this Shacabac had
delivered a learned discourse on
commerce and finance a young
man asked the sage how he might
become rich without too much
trouble. ‘List to me,’ replied
the wise man, ‘and I will
teach thee in six easy consecutive
lessons, at on sequin per lesson.’
The young man, joyfully comply
ing, paid the money and sat at the
fett of the philosopher. But when
the course was over he cried out:
‘Bismiliah! thou has taught me
naught!’ ‘Nay,’ returned the sage,
‘I have taught thee how to make
six sequins. Go to, ungrateful
one!’ And the ungrateful one, we
are to'.d abashed at the reproof, im
mediately opened a commercial
college where every branch of bus
iness could be learned ‘while you
wait.’ ”
POSTMASTERS INDICTED-
Thirteen Postal Officials of Georgia
Charged With Conspiracy,
Atlanta, Oct., 25. —The United
States grand jury has returned
thirteen indictments against former
poH nasters and carriers in Polk,
Haralson and Pauh ing counties,
this stale, charging conspiracy to
defraud the government. The
former postmasters indicted are:
F. C. Deavers, Cabot, Ga., Butler
Dayis, Way, Ga.. John G. Low’,
Roland, Ga., B. F. Morgan, Frank,
Ga., William A. Greene, Doster,
Ga., W. C. Waldrop, Junior, Ga.,
J. M. Rutledge, Diy, Ga., John R.
Bush, Dicy, Ga., T. J. Bell, Besrna,
Ga , William Waddell, A. S. Wad
dell, W. T. Head and W. J. Har
den, former special carriers.
The offices in which the alleged
fraud was perpetrated were what
are known as special supply offices
The four special carriers are
charged with having been princi
pals in the affair. Their salaries
depended on the business of the
postoffice for which they carried
mail.
It is claimed by the postoffice
authorities that the thirteen de
fendants formed a combination
whereby they sought to defraud
the government. It is charged
that they went so far as to give
away stamps in order to cancel
them and sent bulky packages
throught the offices. It is said
that a dog was sent in this way
and that pieces of pine bark were
stamped and mailed.
WON FIRST PRIZE-
Capt. H. J. McCormick Takes tha
Best at Inter-State Fair,
Capt. H. J. McCormick, whose
fine agricultural display at the In
ter-state fair in Atlanta, attracted
the attention of all who visited the
agricultural building, was award
ed the first prize of three hundred
dollars last week, and his numer
ous friends in Bartow will be glad
to know of his good lucit.
Capt. McCormick is an indom
itable worker and his display which
was the product of his own farm,
was the most creditable showing.
But this is not the first time the
Captain has shown his prowess in
capturing the best that was offered,
and he has now gone to Valdosta
where the state fair is in progress,
and the display which captured
the first prize in Atlanta, will
stand a pretty, good chance to win
out first at the state fair, and we
hope it will.
