The following is the report of Mon
day from Dr. Bryan as to the small pox:
June 5, 1899.
Hon. L. Y. Bradbury,
Ordinary. Jefferson, Ga.
Dear Sir: Small pox cases doing nice
ly. No new cases.
I went to see Dr. Pharr yesterday.
He has a straight case and is doing very
well.
I don’t think we will have many
more cases. Mr. James Pikes, Miss
Mattie Bryant, the little girl here, and
myself are all the exposed now.
Yours, respectfully,
. J. A Bkyan.

Uncle Winn Worshrm, one of our
oldest and best citizens breathed his
last Monday morning. He had been
sick for a long while and little hope
was entertained for several weeks that
he would ever recover. He was one of
the oldest citizens of the county hav
ing been born in Virginia in 1817.
His family moved to tbi* county when
he was a boy and he had never resided
any where else. He was a leading
mason and aconsistant Christian, being
a member of the protestant Methodist
churoh. His first wife was Miss Martha
Carithers, who died some years ago and
his second wife was Miss Evie Story.
Uncle Winn was very popular with his
people and had held many offices of
trust in his county and always dis
charged his duty fearlessly and faith
fully. The furneral services were con
ducted by Rev. R S. McGarity on yes
terday morning and he was laid to rest
in Woodbine cemetery with masonic
honors. The writer held him in high
esteem having known him for many
years and will ever revere his memory.
Mr. J. E. Bradbury and daughters,
Misses Ida, Evie and Ellie, of Clarks
boro, attended the exercises here Tues
day evening.
Mr. Stephen Roberts, one of the old
and good citizens of our county, is
quite sick at his home just above Jef
ferson.
Ordinary Bradbury weut over the
small-pox territory Wednesday and re
ports all the patients getting on well,
with no new cases nor likely to be soon.
Bad management keeps more people in
poor circumstances that any other one

The Huge Swindle.
our people nave contracted a large for
eign debt, there onght to be something
to show for it. Something ought to
have passed from our creditors to us as
debtors, if the debts we have contracted
‘are any better than gambling debts.
What could there be except imports o i
merchandise, gold or silver?
* If. in 1860, we hnd no foreign debts,
it ought to be clear to even the average
intellect that, if since that date we
have contracted a large foreign debt,
we ought to find in the reports of the
treasury department imports equal in
amount to the debts, less, of course, the
debts contracted the other way. If we
do not find such imports, it is mathe
matically certain that we have not yet
received an equivalent for our outstand
ing obligations. How can the conclu
sion be avoided, when the table submit
ted has been examined and it is known
that there has been no excess of imports
since the time when we owed no foreign
debt, that not a dollar of 6uch indebted
ness has benefited us any more than the
debt contracted for the lost cargo.
Not only have we riot received any
import to account for the existence of
our present tremendous debt, but dur
ing the pericM we have exported a large
amount of our merchandise, gold and
silver, over and above all our imports.
Between 1860 and 1878 there was a gain
of i? 477,034,779 by imports, but after
1878 there has been a loss by exports of
£3,908,470,734, leaving a net loss for
the entire period of £3,481,485,955.
The loss that has occurred since 1878
has swallowed np the entire excess of
£557,059,687 of imports from 1884 to
1873 and leaves a net loss of national
wealth for the entire period covered by
the records of the treasury department
from 1834 to 1898 of £3,851,411,647.
There has been nothing received to
account for this export any more than
there has been to account for the debts
that still exist. Where has it gone?
What has become of it? Some thought
less people think they have solved the
whole question when they say it has
been applied on our debts. If so, they
onght to point out what the country re
ceived when the debts were contracted.
If there are any proceeds. If there ever
were any, arising from these debts, they
ought to be shown in the treasury re
ports. Suppose these exports were ap
plied on debts, what difference would it
make? The debts were just like the
debts that now exist. These are debts
that never brought the country any
thing for their making ; debts that rep
resent nothing but the proceeds of gam
bling speculations; debts that represent
public franchises capitalized; debts that
are nppalling in amount but that give
only a hint cf the tremendous despolia
tion of the jiroducing masses.
Congressman Fitch was not very far
from the truth when, in 1890, he char
acterized Johnny Bull as the bnnko
6teerer of the world and Uncle Sam as
the gentleman from the rural districts.
Possibly not everyone of the particnlar
debts that now exist in foreign coun
tries are without just consideration, nor
possibly are all the debts that have been
paid. But it is impossible to avoid the
conclusion that the American people
have been bunkoed ont of an amount
equal to the excess of exports and bun
koed into contracting debts from which
they have received no benefit, equal to
all the existing foreign debts. Johnny
Bull has had assistance in this bunko
game. The extraordinary interest ex
pressed in some circles in the main
tenance of national honor, the anxiety
abont the government living np to a
high standard of morality professed by
the New York banking syndicates and
Stockbrokers, Wall street speculators,
railroad wreckers and men who are in
possession of large wealth without hav
ing created oue dollar of it reveals
influences that have, by schemes that it
would be charitable to call gambling,
assisted in bringing about these results.
The exports are gone, and it is no use
to wail over spilled milk. The debts
have been contracted and are largely in
the hands, no doubt, of innocent hold
ers We have been foolish enough to al
low the contracts to be made, and we
must pay them. But surely we have a
right to demand that the theft and the
fraud shall not be continued; that the
schemes to increase the value of the
debts and to decrease the value of
American labor and American products
shall come to an end, withont hearing
lectures on national honor and individ
ual integrity from the thieves who have
stolen our products anti the speculators
who have by deceptions procured our
obligations, or from those who have as
sisted in th* fraud.
First a man gets your confidence;
then he usually gets about everything
else you have.
If some people had half as much braiu
