This is no hyper¬ bolical description, as the record of the last live years will show. During that time it has built aad pnt into most successful operation a $100,000 cotton ^•tory and is now building another with nearly twice the capital. It has pnt up a I a ge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac¬ tory, an immense ice and bottling works, a sash and blind factory, a broom factory opened np the finest granite quarry in the United State 0 , and has many other enter¬ prises in ontemplation. It has secured another . .ulroad ninety miles long, and while ocatcu on the greatest system in the South, the Central, has secured connection with its important rival, the East Tennsssee, Virginia and Georgia. It has just secured direct inde¬ pendent connection with Chattanooga and the Wi st, and has the President of a fourth railroad residing here and working to its ultimate completion.

It has at- t,u- I'd ;1 round its borders fruit growers from nearly even State in the Union, until it is now surrounded on nearly every side by or¬ chards and vineyards.

By the census of 1890, it will have at a low estimate between 6,000 and 7, <00 people, and they are all of the right sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to weleomestrangers and anxious to secure de¬ sirable settlers, who will not be any less wel¬ come if they bring money to help build up the town.

The Stab is the only New York newspaper possessing the fullest confidence of the Na¬ tional Administration and the United Dem¬ ocracy of New York, the p ilitical battle ground Jeffersonian of the Democracy, Republic. pure and simple, is good enough for the Stab. Single hand¬ ed among the metropolitan press, it has stood by the men called by the great Democ¬ racy to redeem the government from twenty-five years of Republican wastefulness and corruption and despotism to the South, For these four years past it has beennnswcrv ing in its fidelity the administration of Grov¬ er Cleveland. It is for him now —for Cleve¬ land and Thurman—for four years more of Democratic honesty in onr national affairs, and of continued national tranqnility and prosperity. For people who like thatsort of Democracy the Stab is the paper to read. The Stab stands squarely on the National Democratic platform. It believes that any tribute exacted from the people in excess of tho demands of a government economically administered is essentially oppressive and dishonest. The scheme fostered and cham¬ pioned by the P.epnblican part-of making the government a miser, wringing millions an nually from the people and locking them up in vaults to serve no purpose but invite waste fulness and dishonesty, it regards as a mon¬ strous crime against tho right of American citizenship. Republican political jugglers inaycai! it ‘'protective taxationthe Stab’s name for it is robbery. Through and through the Stab is a great newspaper. Its tone is i lire and wholesome, its news service unexceptionable. Each if sue presents an epitome of what is best worth knowing of tho world’s history of yesterday. Its stories are told in good, quick, pictur- eque Edglish, and mighty interesting read¬ ing they are. The Sunday Stab is as good as the best class magazine, and prints about the same amount of matter. Besides the day’s news it is rich in spesiai descriptive articles, sto ries, snatches of current literature, reviews, art criticism, etc. Burdette’s inimatible hu¬ mor sparkles in its columns; Will Carleton’s delightful letters are of its choice offerings. Many of the best known men and women in literature and art are represented in jt3 col umns, The Weekly Stab is a large paper giving the cream of the news thewnld over, with special features which make it the mos complete family newspaper published. The farmer, the mechanic, the business man too much occupied to read a daily paper, will get more for .his dollar invested in The Weekly Stab thai_ from any other paper It will be especially alert during the cam paign, and will print the freshest and most reliable political news.

EntToit Griffin News: —Now, I do not care to have people, both in and out of the Alliance, to think that I am the least inclined to lay down a line of policy to govern this gigantic infant that is but little over one year old, but propose to give my own opinion as I understand to be em¬ bodied in our consfltution. The Al¬ liance does not propose, and indeed it cannot engage in partisan politics, for when a man enters the door lie leaves for the time present, both his politics and his religion on the out side, or to more clearly define the position, no member has the right to ask to what political organization or religious denomination he belongs, or is in favor of, but on the other band, his most perfect freedom to exercise his religious and political rights according to his own judgment stands unabridged by his obligations as an Alliance man. This every one knows who has been initiated into the order, and the plain words of the constitution settle the question be¬ yond a doubt, for it says “There shall not be any partisan or sectarian test for membership.” Again it says, “We will labor for the education of the agricultural classes in the science of economical government in a strictly non-partisan spirit.” This declaration clearly defines our posi¬ tion in politics, and shows that the Alliance is not a political party. For fear of some one being mislead, and really the question is often asked, “Can you take part in politics?” In answer to all such I will say that the Alliance is not a party in politics, but on the other hand, it is perfectly pre¬ posterous to think of an association of men constituting more than three- fourths of the entire veting popula¬ tion, representing the greater portion of the landed property of the country, the very foundation of all prosperity, and bearing the burden of nearly all taxation, being silent upon matters af fecting theih socially, politically or industrially. It would not be right for them to be silent were they so inclined. The Alliance does not disfranchise its members. It does not prohibit them from holding office, nor dois it seek to impair their loy¬ alty to their party, but it appeals to their intelligence and patriotism to hold these things far above the con¬ sideration ol a mere partisan nature so that our interests will be guarded by selecting the most honest and conservative man to administer our laws, and manage tho finances of our country. People say “that it will plunge into politics, and become a political machine,” but such assertions only betray the ignorance ol ils grand principles, and the fear that the farmers of the country will take mat¬ ters into their own hands, and really, no one should ever blame them for going where their hard earned dol¬ lars goes. Under our platform of principles, it becomes our duty as an organization to look well to the prin¬ ciples set forth in this platform, for it is our highest duty to see that good and wholesome laws are enact., ed, and ihen faithfully executed. This is our political pla.form, or contains the leading principles of it. We have the^right to discuss any measure in the Alliance, whether it be political or otherwise, but it must bedore in a non-partisan spirit, and if our members will conform strictly to this platform prejudice will lose its hold on its victims, and its influ¬ ence for good will crop out far be¬ yond OQf most sanguine expecta¬ tions. In conclusion, I will gay that our platform is broad enough, strong enough, and good enough to admit every laborer irrespective of party. AN EXPERT MONEY HANDLER Tel'.* W 1ml lie Knows About Counterfeit Coin—Various Kinds of “Queer." “You would bo surprised if I give coins you circulating some idea in of this the city, kinds cf *qiHr ” said Mr. William Dickevman, an ex-treasury env pluye, hut now publisher of The United States Treasury Counterfeit Detector. ‘queer’ “I will gold show and you the best coiM. Bmujfl'es of silver Now, strange to say, there is no Gist rate coun¬ terfeit of tho double eagle. Tliero is a fair counterfeit of the eagle, bearing date 1855. It has a very fine appearance, but, as you see hero, when the gold plating is worn oil it leaves the white metal under¬ neath exposed. Of the $5 goldpieco there are several very dangerous coun¬ terfeits. Tho 1844 counterfeit was as¬ sayed and found to contain $4.47 worth of gold. Consequently it resisted acid test about as well as tho genuine. Perhaps tho most dangerous counterfeit $5 gold- piece is tho ono dated 1881 and 1882. This counterfeit coin failed to pass the sharp Boston eyes of John II. Vassar, of the United sub-treasury. It was sent to the States Mint, and there analyzed. Its assay value is $4.43. The reeding and milling are exceedingly well done. Most of the coin counterfeits are made in molds, hut this ono was, without doubt, struck from a die prepared from what is known as tho ‘drop’ process. “There are a great number of very clever counterfeits of the quarter eagle, or $3.5 0 piece. The one bearing the 1853 date is tho most dangerous. It contains only twenty-seven cents’ worth of gold, and yet its size and weight are correct Tho best acid tests have failed to reveal it3 bogus nature. The other counterfeits are mostly composed of brass or platinum, and then heavily gold plated.’’ “What are some of tho best counter¬ feits of silver money?” “Here, for example, is a trade dollar dated 1877, having mint marks S. and C. C. It is only threo grains lighter than tho genuine coin. Its composition is silver, mercury and German silver. The very best way to detect these counterfeits is by the ring. A good' ear will dis¬ tinguish the sound a't once. “Then, again, there is tho Bland or standard dollar, first coined in 1878. A number of clever counterfeits of this coin have come into my possession, which, although made in a mold, have a fine general appearance. They all come nearly up to full weight, averaging from 3S0 to 410 grains. They are plated composed of antimony and lead and heavily with silver. The ring is almost the same as the genuine.” “Listen to this keen, sharp ring,” said Mr. Dickerman, as he threw down a silver half dollar. “Doesn’t that sound as if it contained glass? Well, that is a counterfeit of 1876. This coin is nearly full weight and size. But the milling and reeding, and especially the lettering of the word ‘liberty’ on the shield of tho goddess, aro somewhat defective. I “Of small coins there are more ‘queer’ nickels than any other kind. AH the counterfeiter has to do is to read the act of 1880 to find the composition of alloy, and then he can strike off coins of the same metal as tho genuine nickels at a profit of S 3-4 cents each. Those bearing the dato of 1875 are well calculated to deceive, although the lettering in the words ‘United States’ i3 imperfect, and tho stars surrounding the figure ‘5’ are not well done. < “The devices used to make these smaS coins are often exceedingly ingenious. Last year the chief of the secret service captured a money making machine that turned oat nickels almost as fast as a nail machine turns out nails. It would seem as if every ono engaged In the ‘queer’ business had a different way of fixing their stamps and making their “Is there any other way of making coins ‘queer’ besides using dies or molds?” “Yes, there are several ways of .‘doc¬ toring’ coins. The most common process Is ‘plugging.’ This is done by boring holes in the coin, extracting the gold and then filling in the cavity with cheaper metaL Only the larger gold coins are used for this purpose. The holes are bored into the coin from the edge or reedjng, and afterward covered with gold. The reeding Is then retouched, where it has been removed, by a file or machine for this purpose. A coin that has been plugged is well calculated to pass the sharpest eye, as edge it showing has a perfect the appearance, only the %* loo least c4- elnm sign r\t of Vu^inrr being *nnA ‘queer.’ g| “Another process is called ‘sweating. This is done by removing a portion Of tho gold from the surface of tne coin by an acid bath. The reduction in value of Such coins is from one-tenth to on©' fifteenth. Of course tho coin subjected Yo such a process has a fair appearance, the weight only being short. “There is still another process, called ‘filling.’ This is often done by sawing the coin through the edge or reeding, re¬ moving the interior and putting in cheaper metal. ‘Filling’ is also done by sawing the coin partly in side, two leaving fron^th* edge or reeding, on one side of a thick and thin portion. The tfafn the coin is turned back and the gold taken out from the thicker side. The cavity is filled with a cheap substitute, and the sides pressed back and brazed together. Thus the coin may lose over one-half of its value, and still present a good appearance. Platinum is mostly used to replace tho gold extracted, both being of Hie same weight When other and less cc«tly ‘filling’ than platinum is used, the bogus coin will be light weight and will usually liave a bad ring.—New York Cor.

Now in view ol these facts, it is to be hoped that partisans, politicians and political bosses will allow our members to cast their suffrages according to {heir own convictions, and not arouse old party prejudices, but on the other hand to allow us to suppress personal, local, seclienal and national prejudices, all unhealtbful rivalry, and all selfishness which will creates better understand- iug for sustaining our civil officers in maintaining law and order.

CencorJ, Ga , Aug. 18tb, 1888. Mr. Malaier Will not Resign. Sunn v Side, Ga., Aug. 23, 1888. Editor News ^—I see from your paper a few days ago that there is some talk of Mr. J. II. Malaier re¬ signing the Chairmanship of the Democratic Executive Committee. Now, it seems to me that this is worse than nonsenso. Mr. Malaier was elected fairly and squarely, and would be acting unfairly to the majority of the committee if he should refuse to serve to gratify the wishes of a very small minority and a “con¬ servative lawyer.” Indeed, to such I am prepared to say Mr. Malaier will not res'gn. Mr. Malaier is known all over the county. lie has acted with the utmost harmony with the Democratic party for 20 years; he has never voted for an Indepen¬ dent; has been outspoken always for the nominee of the party; has spent his time and money for their election; has served on the Democratic Execu¬ tive Committee for three or four terms with some and most of those who now want to bring io question his Democracy. Why did they serve on the committee so long with him if they knew he was a Republican ? Why did they not resign then ? What a “change has come over the spirit of their dreams!” The truth is, Mr. Malaier is as good a Demo¬ crat as the county affords. Now, let us all go to work to redeem Spalding county from" the fearful abyss of Independentism and disorganization in which she has fallen. Verily, the time will come, and now is, when we will all have an opportunity of show¬ ing our Democracy. When that time comes we shall see who is the best Democrat.
