Pursuant to a desire by many of the -citizens of Waycross for the name of Col. J. I* Sweat to be- brought before the Democratic congressional convention, the Herald sent out last week a num ber ot letters to prominent citizens throughout the adjacent counties for ex pressions of their views on CoL Sweat’s possible candidacy. Following are the replies thus far received: Stockton, Ga. March 5.—We think Col. Sweat would make a good represen tative for the 11th district in Congress, lie is young, competent, energetic and a worker; stands firm and sound on the Democratic platform, and would be a credit to his constituents. J. C. Humphries. Clinch Haven, Ga. March 4.—I consider Hon. J. L. Sweat as being fully qualified to fill the position, and know of no other man that would more ably represent the district. II. P. Mattox. Dupont, Ga., March 2.—Henry G. Turner of Brooks comity is my first choice for Congress from the 11th dis trict. Col. J. L. Sweat is my second choice. He is a good and safe man, and stands firm on the old Jeffersonian De mocracy, and I shall be satisfied wifh either, but I shall pledge myself to no man for Congress who does not come square out as they have done. The peo ple should understand whom they are voting for before it is too late. Statexville, Ga., March 5.—Hon. J. L. Sweat of Waycross, would be perfectly satisfactory to me for Con gress, as I believe him to be a high toned gentleman and a coming man, and I think he could get a delegation from this county if he is before the people. T. M. Prescott. . Waresdoko, Ga., March 5.—I am of the opinion that Col. J. L. Sweat would be fuljy able to sustain himself in Con gress, yet I am unable at present to sa\ what his following might be. L. C. Wilcox. Statexville, Ga., March 2.—Hon. J. L. Sweat of Waycross, is my first choice for Congress, and in my judgment the 11th district could not do better, while she has plenty of congressional timber, than to elect him to the next Congress. If he is in the race I will do all and everything in my power to help se cure him the nomination. J. Frank Hall RESTAURANT, A South American Eagle In Georgia. Applixg County, Ga., March 1. Editor Herald: The largest South American bald eagle known in this part of the country, was killed by Mr. Madi- Lee, a well known citizen of Ap pling county, a tew days ago, near his plantation. lie was measured and weighed. He measured seven feet and inch from point to point; two feet ten inches from tail to bill; seven and one-fourth inches from back to front claw; two inches between the eyes, and ■ighed ten pounds. The supposition is that he was hatched on the Andes moun tains in South America. He was what is known as the Bald Eagle, and had a white head and tail, making a very gay object sailing through We think his death is worth quite a little sum to the stock raisers of Appling county, and we bid Mr. Lee do so again at the earliest opportunity.* Hurrah for Mr. Lee!—killed the big gest eagle, owns the best breechloading shot-gun and a horse twenty-eight years old. ~ Wireurass, Ga., March 4.—I think the 11th district would make no mistake having Col. Sweat to represent it. • one would l>e pleased to help to send him there. J. L. Morgan Dupont, Ga., March 2.—I think quite favorably of Col. Sweat. Can’t speak definitely until after Clinch Superior Court, when I will let you hear from i at length. J. P. A. DuPont. Statexville, Ga., March 2.—O. K. If he can make the “landing.” G. W. Peine. Statenvillb, Ga., March 3.—I think this county will be solid for Turner—i else. J. C. Thompson. Glexmore, Ga., March 4.—I believe he would be an excellent representative. S. E. Cribb. Humphries, Ga., March 2.—Turner first, Sweat second. J. H. Mattox. Clinch Haven, Ga., March 8.—I think Hon. J. L. Sweat fully competent to fill that or any other position in our governmental aflhirs, and we would con sider our district as fortunate should he be selected to represent it in Congress. D. B. Paxton. i my Folkstox, Ga., March 3.—Don’t think we could find a better man^to send to Congress than Mr. J. L. Sweat. I will be pleased at his going. J. W. Roddexberry. Stockton, Ga., March 8.—I am for J. L. Sweat for Congress first, last and all the time; and Hill, of New York, for President I can vote that ticket freely. W. B. N. Crews. THE HILL BANKING SYSTEM. Many plans have been proposed for reforming our national banking laws, among them the sub-treasury plan, the “something better” or State banks of Mr. Norwood, the postal banking system of Mr. Baxter and the banking system proposed by Mr. Thos. E. Hill, a Chica go capitalist and philanthropist. To this last system we will confine ourself, for in it wc find the merit of simplicity, of easy adjustment to existing conditions and of uniformity in its effect on all classes of people. Its adoption would work no hardship to any one, would re duce the rate of interest and would make scarcity of money ini]»ossiblc. The details of this system may be briefly stated. 1st. Direct ownership aud control of all banks by the government. 2nd. Three thousand banks to be es tablished, equiably distributed. Money be loaned on real estate ami other substantial securities. 3rd. Rate of interest to borrowers, four per cent. Depositors to be paid three per cent. 4tli. Every post office to be a bank ot deposit. The advantages of this system may also be briefly summarized. 1st. The people would own their own banks aud thus the privilege of controll ing the people’s instrument of exchange would not be granted as a private mo nopoly, at enormous sacrifice to the people, and enormous gain to the fortu nate mouo]»olist. The government would guarantee de positors, which would bring out millions of hoarded wealth into general circula- i, that through uncertainty and inse curity arc now of no use to their owners to the people. Bank officials, under governmental control, would lie subject to a rigid system of accountability that • other system can obtain. Bank panics and money stringency would be nvoided. Hired attorneys of money monopolists would no longer dis grace our legislative halls in the effort to influence legislation calculated to maintain unequal rates of interest, aud private money lenders would no longer be able to exact the last dollar of tribute from' a debt-ridden and interest- ilaved jicoplc. 2nd. The establishment of deposito ries at various centres of population vould afford every section equal facili ties for obtaining money, and would not give that blessed privilege to the fortu nate possessors of stocks ami bonds alone. 3rd. The loaning of money at form rate of interest .would be directly in the line of “equal rights to all and ipccial privileges to none,” as the man who needed a few hundred dollars in his business could obtain them at the same rate of interest its the man who borrowed thousands or millions. Whereas, now the unfortunate condition of af fairs, growing more aggravated every year, of a glut in the money market of the East where men of wealth can ob tain what they need at 4 per cent, and all sections of the country where the in dustrial population cannot obtain suffic ient money for the purposes of general business even by paying a destructive rate of interest to Eastern money lenders. The payment to depositors of a uni form rate of 3 j»er cent, interest, under protection of a government guarantee would bring into circulation much of the gold and silver now lying stagnant thousands of nooks and corners, and the profit arising from the money loaned will be sufficient to operate the banks, so that the people will lie at no additional expense. 4th. Every post office as a bank of de posit would place banking facilities at every man’s door and the heavy expense attendant upon the transfer of checks between banks and of money to banks of deposit would be saved to the people. There is as much money in the coun try during financial panics as at other times, bnt it is not in circulation. Why ? Because it is under the direct control, to a large extent, of the private owners of national banks, who on account of the uncertainties of the times, whicli uncer tainties are largely due, not to the in dustrial, but to the speculative class, begin to call in their most undesirable loans, increase their reserve and exact more difficult and hazardous require ments of their industrial patrons. The Hill banking system would main tain an equilibrium in financial matters that would avert such monetary disas ters and maintain, at all times, the very highest per capita circulation among the people. The radical wing of the Farmers Alli ance may not be satisfied with this sys tem, as they will not be satisfied with anything short of their sub-treasury plan. The national banker and his cousin, the capitalist and the speculator in stocks and bonds will not be pleased with it, as it affords them less opportunity for un earned profits, bat for the manufacturers, merchants, mechanics, farmers and la borers we have seen no system that so fully, in oar judgment, meets their wants. POTPOURRI Of iVrsons'Tlaccs and Things. This is, if notan ago of wouders, the period of wonderful inventions. Hardly are we over being astonished that car wheels and axles are made of pajH-r, un til we learn that a man hits built a hotel in Hamburg entirely of paper boards, which have the hardness of wood and are rendered tire-proof by being impreg nated with some chemical solutiou. Mrs. Felton, in her lecture on the Georgia exhibit at the World’* Fair, said that^the resources of the Empire State of the Southj.arc^ such that licr people could;live if a Chinese^ wall,.en closed her borders. And it is well that we maketlH*e Jfc resourcc8,.known to the world that we may get help in develop ing them. Metaphors are great tilings in their way, biujlicir use should receive a little study from the editor who left school be fore rhetoric was>eaehed in,the curricu lum. An exchange who said last week that Brother ltusselU was “all wool and a yard wide” meant to be complimenta ry, but ^it can»ej[iiear living a case of “good^Lord^leliver us_froin our friends.” In answer to Mr. Blaine’s defence of bis son Jimmie,and liis arraignment of all others concerned in his marriage, Marie Nevino Blaine demands that papa Blaine shall give to the press the love-letters she wrote to Janies, Jr., during their court ship. This is pretty hard on an* inno- The Albany Herald contains this good advice relative to the present “hard times : ” “Tell the |ieople that if they will just live for two years like they did during the war—practice economy’ and self-denial and get right down to hard pan—everything will get right again and we will have the liest country in the world right here in Southwest Georgia. The trouble with us all is we are living too fast and ’it takes more money than we've got to keep up the schedule we are running.” Mr. Geo. Kcnnan is lecturing in At- cially regaH^HSttaNd system, the investigations intowh^^ffiivcgiven him a world-wide renown and brought to light a system of cruelties and barbari ties that have shocked the civilized world Unless Talmage’s friemls bestir them selves his $-100,000 taliernacle will be sold at sheriff's sale to satisfy a mechan ic’s lien of $52,210.

Dr. McLeod, the famous Scotch divine, was crossing a lake in company with Dr. McGregor and a party when a fear ful squall arose. Dr. McLeod was an enormous man and a thorough athlete, “Dr. McLeod, Dr. McLeod, say a prayer for as all! ” The boatman, sizing him up, said shrewdly but firmly, “Na, na, let the sma’ one pray. This one maun tak’ an oar.” Children have some rights that par ents are bound to respect. They are en titled, not only to food, clothing, shelter, and education, but also and especially to love. The deprivation that warm hearted boys and girls suffer when they do not receive parental affection and kindness is incalculable, and will be felt more and more keenly as they advance in life. There is nothing that can be a substitute or a compensation for it. The of three-score and ten may ^ A. HOLLINS HEAD, Dentist, WAYCROSS, . . .
