Correspondents and Other Local Matters. JEFFEKSON. This is a bif? week for Jefferson. The commencement has been a great suc cess and large crowds have attended. The trustees have re-elected Pro'. Ernest Neal principal for another year. There have been a number of visitors here this week from a distance and the town is full of life. 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. A contract has been closed with the Manger Gin Company for a new’ outfit to take the place of the one , burned a few weeks ago. Judge R. B. Russell has granted a new charter to the Jefferson Cotton Mills and we are going to have a facto ry as well as an oil milL 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 cause. To be successful one mu9t look ahead and plau ahead so that when a favorable opportunity presents itself ht is ready to take advantage of it A lit tle forethought will also save much ex pense and valuable time. A prudent and careful man will keep a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy in the house the shift less fellow will wait until necessity com pels it and then rain his best horse go ing for a doctor and have a big dootor bill to pay, besides; one pays out 25 cents, the other is out SI,OO aud then wonders w'hy his neighbor is getting richer while ho is getting poorer.

Little Tom Waldon, of Lebanon was here Sunday exchanging smiles with the fair sex, also Bob Mize of Thyatira. Mr. Rob Wood, of Johnson’s Mills was with us Sunday afternoon. We have some sickuess in our com munity at this writiug. Mr. W. C. Glosson went to Atlanta Monday. He received a message over the phone stating that his mother who lives in that city was likely to die. 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 as they liave cheek their heads would havo to be enlarged to three times the average size. legal Advertisements Application For Charter.
