TO INCREASE TOE STATE DEBT.
Sei ator Joe Terrell introduced a bill
In the senate Monday that is of much
interest.
It provides that the constitution be so
amended that the bonded debt of the
state may be Increased 9500,000 annually
for ten years, commencing 1802, tbe
money thus raised to be used exclusively
In paying pensions to disabled soldiers
end tor the support of the common
schools
His argument In favor of the bill Is as
follows:
“This generation has built and fur
nished a capitol at an expense of over
one million dollars which will serve
future generations, and is paying pen
sions to disabled soldiers and widows,
and besides special taxes is now appro
priating $500,000 annually from property
tax to the support of common schools.
The next generation will have very few,
If any, pensions to pay, and will reap the
benefit of tbe money appropriated to
common ichools, hence it seems to me
to be nothing but right to lift a portion
of the burden on this generation and
transfer it to tbe next.
“The adoption of this amendment will
reduce tbe rate of taxation for the next
ten years at least $1 25 on $1,0U9, and if assets of said bank.
BOIFKUILLET*S BARK BILL.
The bill by Mr. Bolfeulllet of Bibb,
regulating banks, is one of those await
ing tbe governor’s signature.
The bill Is a most important one.
Among its provisions ere:
All banks must make quarterly state
ments under oath to etate bank exami
ners, and publish the same in local pa
pers.
No bank shall loan to any officer of
that bank without good collateral.
No bank shall be allowed to reduce
cub on hand, Including amounts doe
by all banks and bankers, and tbe mar
ket value of til stocks end bonds actual
ly owned and held by the bank, below 25
per cent, of the demand deposits.
No bank shall be allowed to loan to
any one penon, unleu that loan la amply
ucured by good collateral security,
more than 10 per cent, of ita capital and
surplus.
Whenever, by reason of losses, a bank’s
capital stock Is Impaired, tbe shrinkage
In said capital stock, which is represent
ed by said losses, shall be charged on
tbe books of said banks to tbe accounc
of profit and lou, so that the notes and
bills discounted, shown as debts due the
bank, shall be tbe lire and collectible
• During his term of office a* premier
x>t Great Britain Lord Salisbury has ere-
-ated twenty-one peers. Tills is an
amount of patronage that must make an
American president envious of the effete
Institutions of England.
A seemingly miraculous euro of malig
nant cancer has been mado at Cliatta-
* nooga, the victim having been pointed
in a dream to a certain herb which he
gathered and ate and Is now well The
.story is vouched for by men of veracity
"Ex-Senator Norwood is entitled to
the thanks of ail really sincere Alliance'
men for doing what none of the oppo
nents of the Hub treasury scheme have
done so far—offering a substitute wblcb
he honestly believes to be “something
better.”—Hmes-Unlon.
Jay Cooke, the Fhllsdelpbla banker,
is about to take bis first trip over the
Northern Faelflo railroad. Though he
wu tbe moving spirit of the line in tho
early days of Its career, he has never
traveled over it nor seen the country
through which It puses.
The Constitution says: “If the free
pats bill ever gets to a vote in tbe House
it will pass, but as Col. Cutts of Ameri
cas said yesterday, thl* legislature
would prefer to have it apply to the next.
Free passes are verv convenient things
to legislators who like to go home on
Sunday.”
Tna report comes from Wuhlagton
{that General Wade Hampton's health
bu begun to fall. A correspondent
who saw the old warrior lut week says
his feeble and uncertain gait surprised
him. Gontral Hampton Is now over 70
yean of age. He hu always possessed
• ragged physique, but It Is now be
ginning to give way under the burden of
years.
In obdeb not to disturb the aesthetic
tympanuus of her yankeo sisters, Jack
sonville proposes to inouleate musloal
ideas in the minds of the howling
gamins. Tbe Times-Union’s news-boys
have been Instructed to shout In a
mellifloua baritone—not In tbe ataocato
which 1s so offensive to the discriminat
ing and orltlcal portion of tbe mornlng-
nsp public.
When 'Lije Halford dropped quietly
down Into New York lut Saturday he
carried with him a check for $5,000—
Bou Benjamin's personal contribution
to the Fassett campaign fund. “The
president thinks that It Is absolutely
necessary for tbe republicans to carry
New York state this fall,” remarked
little Elijah, and then be vanished
through a side door.
In the New York Financial Chronicle
of the 3rd Instant, la a report from Cecil
Gabbett, late general manager of the
Central railroad, upon the condition end
business of the Monterey A Mexican
Gulf railroad. Under instructions Mr.
Gabbett .visited Mexico the latter part of
July and made a thorough examination
of this road which Isj303 miles long end
his report bu jnst been published.
The following explanation comet by
grapevine telegraph from Atlanta: ‘ If
any readers have received postal cards
mailed at Atlanta, and written any time
between 1888 and last week, they may
hen read an explanation of the delay.
Tbe postmaster the other day found
over fifty postal cards that had fallen
under a board of the letter box. Some
of them were three years old. There
wu nothing to do bnt to mall them ks it
would be a violation of the' law
stroy them.
anything like the same ratio of increase
in taxable property is had for the next
ten years that we bare had for the past
ten years, the bonds can be met without
any perceptible Increaso in tbe tax
rate.
“Another argument in favor of the
amendment Is the low rate at which the
state can borrow money and the high
rate which the taxpayer lias to pay. For
Instance, the state can easily float these
bonds for 4 per cent, and the citizen will
have to pay from 8 to 12 per cent for the
money to pay his taxes."
SUMTER NOT REPRESENTED.
One of the very best institutions In
rile South Is tbe Girls' Industrial School
at Milledgerille, Ga., of which Mr. J.
Hurls Chappell, late of Columbus, Is
president. The facilities here offered
for the acquiring of technical education
by gills are the very best, and every
Georgia gl rl who needs to make her way
iu the world, as many of them will have
occasion to do, should avail herself of
tlio opportunity. While the girls have
gone to this school from various quarters
so far Sumter county la not represented;
and as there are no special provisions
made until tbe quota Is full, some Sum
ter county girls should apply for admis
sion to this excellent institution. Write
to Mr. J. Harris Chappell, the Presi
dent
The state bank examiner or bis clerk
shall examine the books of each bank at
least once a year.
Hebe is how the Georgia twin—er—
angels appear to a wild Western editor:
“Sam Jones and Sam Small, the two al
leged pious evangelists, reeently visited
the town of Rome, Ga., and according
to tbe programme that they have fol
lowed with more or leu succeu in every
place In whloh they have preached, they
proceeded to attack the morals of Rome
and declare that it wu the very hotbed
of crime and corruption. To the great
suiprise of the two preachers they were
summoned on the following day to ap
pear before the grand jnry and give In
formation of tbe crlmo and corruption
of which they had complained and ao
furiously attacked. The uni course
should be followed by every town whloh
these men see fit to abuse In order to
create a unsatlon and Una tbetr pockets
with the money of people foolish enough
to throw It away upon charlatans If
Jones and Small wore made to appear
before grand juries and compelled to
swear to what they charge, the shame
less career of theso two frauds would
soon be brought to an end.’’
The following from the New Orleans
States will accord fully with the views
of all right thinking people whose dis
gust fa supreme at the style of much of
tho stuff that is sent out as news: “We
do not approve of tbe action of the As
sociated Press In sending brosdeut over
tbe country certain details regarding
the birth of the little daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Cleveland, because It wu not
in good tute, but we fully agree with
tho statement that Baby Clevolaml Is
going to knoek out of joint tbe nose of
one Baby McKee. The whole country is
deeply interested in the future welfare
of little Miss Cleveland, and as her
beautiful mother Is regarded by all true
Americans and especially those of Dorn-
ocratic faith, u the first lady In the
land, her little daughter Is sure to be
awarded the position of second lady.”
Mr. Gladstone made a speech at
New Castle a few days ago lu support of
the free trade policy of Great Britain,
which he said wu not only a triumph
for the capitalists but also for the work
men, whose wages had advanced 50 per
cent by It, and the grand old man then
expressed tbe opinion that the United
States would not long permit England to
enjoy her presont commercial suprema
cy, but would throw down the bars of
protection and compete with her for the
trade of the world. It will now bo in
order for the Republican organs to dl
reel a torrent of abuse against Mr. Glad-
stone and to charge that he made hls
speech with the intention of helping to
elect Campbell governor of Ohio.
The Berner bill wu a much discussed
matter In tbe corridors of tho capitol
yesterday. A large number of letters of
protest agaiost the bill have been re
ceived by senators and representatives
from all over the state. The letters
came chiefly from holders ‘ of Central,
Georgia and Southwestern stock who
are all over the state. It is said $12,000,
000 of railroad securities are held in
Georgia that are affected by this legisla
tion antagonistic to the railroads.—Con

Rev. W. W. Wadsworth, pastor of
St John’s Msthodlst church in Augusta,
hu created a lively sensation by a severe
arraignment, on Snnday last, of Augusta
society. Tbe congregation were astound-
ed to find themselves exposed as such
wretched sinners. The reverend gentle
man did not mince words, but scored
society, in the severest manner. He wu
specially severe on young ladles drink
ing with gentlemen, and on euchre
parties, dress, moonlight picnics, ete.
The poMs boiling fast lu tho Third

is that Hon. Jere N. Williams, ex-con
gressman, will be pitted against Oates
In the coming race. Rumor hu It that
the Alliance will take him, without ref
erence to the Ocala demands, so deter
mined Is It to thrash Oates. Is this an
evidence that tbe Alliance Is going to
quit politics, and come down to tbe old'
fuhloned agricultural occupation of
thrashing oats ?
