SIAJ. BACON’S APFOINTMKNTS. Lexington, September 20, Ho will then lilt various engagement* In northeast Georgia. Next week bo speaks us follows: Dalton, October 1. Carrollton, October 2. , SIOCItlCTAltV "blilTH’rt SPEECH. Ia Mr. Smith’s Speech ma.lo In Mil •light there was I.tile or no attempt to touch tlio fancy or tickle the risible* of bla licnren. U was plain, stralglitforwunl, easily under stood sbittanent of and argument upon the liiiuiirla! questions now before the people for settlement, itjvns perfectly evident ilial Mr, Hinttli mid small cure to merely please anybody. Tills fact was not cridcut from miy lack of at- tmctlveucss In the speech itself or Die iniiutior of Its delivery, but ,u the per sistence with which Mr. Hmlth ltd- dressed himself solely to tho Intelli gence of bis beiirent, IIu was ip.-oklng to convince, not to please; he was per forming n* high duty of n statesman In unlhority, not seeklflg to gain populari ty for liluiself. Mr. Hmlth performed that duty well. tVe have seen nowhere an abler argu ment ou Hie bimetallist sale of the sil ver quiwtlon or it stronger statement of the historical facta whluli show that ibo free coinage of silver lit n less ratio than Unit fixed by the world's markets must result, not -Hi bimetallism, not In the equal currently of gold and silver inouey, but In silver monometallism, with all the evils tlmt necessarily nt- tend such a system. Mr. Smith wns especially happy when dealing with the carefully fostered idea that before 1873 currency wns muru' ubumlaat titan now, uud more nbundaut because- silver cu teretl largely Into It through tho open doors of the mint, Tho fact that from the opening of the mints m 17112 until their reopening In 1878, under the op- rmtlou of the illaml law, only 8,000,000 silver dollars were coined wus n fa miliar one. It has bccu repeated again uud again by the newspapers. But the elgnllleauco of tlila fact was more strongly brought out by Mr. Smith than we have seen done by others. It Ima been oontuuded by the advocates of tho free coinage of silver that while It wns true that only 8,000,000 silver dollars were coined In nearly ninety years, yet tho colunge of allver was considerable be cause tho mints turned cut a good many millions of fractional silver. The popular preference, they iuive said, was for tile minor coins, nud the prluclplo for which they contended wus then fore not affected by tho fact that tli mint* coined half dollars, quarters nnd dlmee Instead of dollnra. But they neg lected In making this oontoutlon two Important facts—that oven our minor silver coin* were largely exported be cause die ratio was too high, nnd the further fact that early In tho fifties tho legal tender quality of silver subsidiary coins was fur this reason wlthtr It Is true,, thou, tho , much talk,sl-ef •’dollar of our daddies” had practically ho existence. It tveut out of the coun try so promptly that oven tho 8,000,000 coined did not make for auy cotis'dcra- hle length of time a part of the curren cy. It 1* also trite, therefore, that tho allver which WUS lu circulation before the war, which wo nro told contributed so much to tlie national prosperity, was not a legal tender. Then, as now, gold was the stnndnnl of valuo anil silver a subsidiary coin, useful, but formln, part of wliat tho advocates of free honest man wlio Is trying to arrive at a Just aud true conclusion In regard to this much disputed und vastly import ant question. POPULIST IDEAS ABOUT SION& PEN- There were four pension bills Intro duced at the last session of congress by PopultsU, Representative Hudson from Kansas wanted tq pay to each pen sioner ten times the annual uraount of tiie pcuslon he now receives In a lump sum. This would cost 11,000,000,000 Ilepresentatlre Davis of Kansas wants to give a pension to every man who served In the Union army or navy amounting to from $10 to SIT, a month. Cost to the government this year $100, 000,000. • .Senator Allen's service pension bill would require the first year $350,- 000,000. Senator Boiler's cent a day pension bill prorides for the expenditure of $2,413,000,000. Georgia would have to pay of this $00,000,000-aliout $172,30 tor the head of each family In the state. How much would come back to her? Tho Populists certainly meant what they said wheu they declared in their platform that they believed in liberal pension* for the sailors and soldiers wlio served In tlie navy and army during the war. We have tlie highest authori ty for tho statement that the Populists are thoroughly united on tho ccnomlc questions set forth in this platform] Hence the Georgia Populists, It Is fair to presume, favor these “liberal’’ pen slon measures. If the rank nnd file of Hie Populist party in Georgia are will big to tax themselves $172.30 apiece for the benufit of their suffering broth ers lu the North and West, it speaks well for Uielr generosity und shows that they can mnke a heap mora money out of (i-cont cotton than their Democratic neighbors can do. , It Is not to bo wondered at that the saving In pension expenditures effected by Secretary Smith of some $20,000,000, by the cutting off of fraudulent pen sions Is act down by men who would give billions to three people as of no account Wo poor Democrats, who are not used to handling such vust amounts of money, laid nu Idea that we were dolug the people a servico by saving even such on Insignificant sum ns $20,- 000,000 und sttll claim credit for good Intentions at all events. THE EASTERN WAlt. coinage jiro so foml of describing as “primary" money. Mr. Smith also dealt ably with die proposition put forisranl with so much Insistence by tlie silver mouotuetaUlsU that the money supply of tho United States Is ‘shinII how ’ compared with what it was In times of untlon.it pros- pcrjty before 1801. He showed that, on the contrary,' there has been a large lu- erease lu the supply of money In this country siuce that time—that the sup ply of money'actually 1-a existence Is large. If not ample, however true it may be that money Is difficult to obtain Mid, In the cotumcrelul sense, scarce, the lack being not of cunoucy but of the eoafideuce that 1* agraMtqr to the fret use of money. Mr. Smith’s speech Is lu the h’ghcst degree creditable to him a* s pabllo man. Ho show* courage In dealing with n question ou which there is a sharp di vision of opinion among his constitu ents. We believe thet it will raise him higher In die estimation of Democrats generally, aud of Georgia Democrats In particular. It ought to be used as a eampalgn document aud read by every It Is not surprising that the Japanese decline mediation at tho present stage of tlielr war With China. They linvo so far been wonderfully successful. They have practically destroyed the Chinese armies In Corea, and have so strengthened their position vital It is now almost Impossible for the Chinese to regain their foothold In tlio penlu- suln. At sea they have been equally successful. -In the naval battle off the mouth of tho river Yalu the northern aquadron of tho Chinese navy was so crippled, loelng many of its finest ships, that-lt can no longer bo considered nn offensive force. Japan Is therefore free to strengthen her position iu Corea un til It Is Impregnable and is proceeding to do so with great vigor. It Is probablo that at this stage of tho proofed lugs Japan could obtain through mediation all of tlio objects for which sho avowedly went to war. It Is c-vcn possible that Chinn would consent to pay a largo war Indemnity, by which many of tho financial sacrifices of the Japanese people would ho compen sated. -But though Japan professes to ho fighting only for tho Independence of Corea sho Is In fact fighting for tho prestige that will give her u complete nnd undisputed ascondanoy in Eastern Asia. Feudalism In a nearly perfect form existed lu Japan later than In uny other country, nnd wns overthrown only about twenty-five years ago. With the overthrow of this system, whose fall wus a great shock to the Japanese tinblts of thought, began the rising of a national prldo and ambition which lu development und results ha* been tho wonder of the world. No people known to history hnvo Improved so fust ma terially and mentally, Judged from the European standpoint, as tho Japanese have doue during tho last quurtor of u century. Thut short time has sufficed to change a reillly hermit natlou—o na tion which resolutely shut Its door* against nil foreigners nud treated them as uecessarly putillo enemies- into a na tion whoso government is orgaulxcd on European models, the ndmlmgtratku of wlilch Is strong nud efficient, nnd which In adopting tho forms of civilization has adopted also Its ambitions nnd iu n very huge degree tts spirit Having tuiblbcd the European ambition to wage don’t stick. That transaction with Mrs. Rowe, about which so much fuss was made, turns out very much to the credit of Mr. Atkinson. The truth of the matter la Mr. Atkinson Is a scru pulously honest man. Tho speech of Secretary Hoke Smith iu this city Monday night bad the ring of true Democracy. It wns a thought ful speech and will set the people to thinking. -With the truth told to the people as Secretary Smith told It, from every slump In Georgia, Populism would disappear like tlio morning mist under the rays of the summer sun. Silver Is a full legal tender for all debts, public aud private. Yet the Pop ulist speakers are constantly talking of the demonetization of sliver. By what means would It be possible for the United Sta-tea government to give to sliver more power as money than it now possesses? Japan has her fighting blood up. The Chinese are apparently willlDg to put an end to "dla here foolishness,” but tiie subjects of the mikado are not tired yet by a long jump, and a Japanese army of occupation at Pekin lu tlio near future is by no means among the impossibilities. This slump In cotton is getting tire some. Thank goodness, many of our Georgia, fanners have something lu crib nnd smokehouse, nnd they can wait for tiie upward turn, which' ought to come with an Increased demand for cotton goods. successful war and dominate her neigh bors, Japan will hardly consent, unless 'infers reverses. Hint the war cud until she has thoroughly Impressed upon tiie minds of all eastern peoples that she aud not China Is tho douiiuaut power of Aslatlo nations, and upon the minds of Europeans tiie fact that she can no louger be treated ns a semi-bar barous weakling among tiie nations. Senator German evidently does net represent the Democratic party of Ma ryland in tho United States scuate. Convention after convention la that indorses Ptvsldcut Cleveland and denounces the course of tho senate In regard to tariff legislation. Unless there Is a radical change in Democratic sentiment In the state before the exptra- Ion of hh> present term, Mr. Goman’s opportunities for mischief, so far a* the senate is concerned, will soon bo stopped. Tire Populists nre trying hard to at tack lion. AY. Y, Atkinson's record os an offset to'the ugly things cropping out about their candidate. Judge lllut-s, but somehow or oth* their charges With the per capita of circulation be tween 1830 and 1800 at $14.70 and the per capita of circulation In 1803-01 $31.30, will some of our Populist friends please explain what they mean by a contraction of the currency? TYSON IS NOT SATISFIED. He Proceeds to Rip Up Judge Hines' Explanation of tho Lawson Trust. Tho Sandersvillo Progress of today contains the following Interesting card from Mr. Charles 11. Tyson In refer ence to tlio explanation of Judge James K. Illues of the charge made against him that he bad not made uu account ing of tho funds eutrunted to him by Mrs. Lawson, aud that ho was keeping out of their rights the orplinu children of Capt. and Mrs. Latvsoh. Mr. Tyson's card shows very plainly that the orphans have not beea able to got their money from Judge Hines. Looking,at this jaso In tho most char itable light trad It shows a carelessness lu uiout-y matters on tho part of the Populist candidate which augurs ill for the affairs of the state, should they by nny strange freak of fortune be en trusted to his cure. Mr. Tyson’s enril Is astollows: Editors Progress: Please allow me space In your valued columns to reply to Judge Hines' anaiele ipub-l-ehod In the Constitution of tho 20th ir,-:;., ub the same atkempts to distort facts und is untrue In reference to • the material points of this matter. Judge Hlues olaitiu he did not seek Mrs. Liuwson, etc. Judge Hints knows laho-t Mio. Lawson la dead. Mrs. Lawson’o daugh ter was present, and •affirms my prevl-' ous statement. Judge Htacs does not deny having stone to her home, and I defy him to produce a letter or note re questing him to do so. Mrs, Lawson was almost an Invalid, and my atu-te- motti about Judge Hines seeking her etc., Is true. A person seeks another by going ot hem or writing for them. Fur thermore, Mrs. Lawson was so much surprised In receiving tile letter Inform ing her that he had made Investments without consulting her that she en closed his letter to R. a. Stone, her brother, exrrcosing her surprise at Judge Htnes’ act, and asking, advice. 2. Hinas claims thtt a day or two be fore 51m. Lawson's death he wrote the company tn whose possession, he thought the note nnd mortgage were anil directed It to draw on him at sight, etc. This cannot he true. On May 1, 1833, he wrote Mrs. Lawson he had paid tho debt on April 4. 1893. He had tho money a month and four days before Mm. Lawson's death, and-alter tho time April 4. 1S93, when ho claimed ho had paid 4L He knew tlmt only pay ment oould etop the tut crest,and calcu lated 'the cost of taking up ,the said debt on April 4. 1833. at $3,835.60.- I at tach a copy of his letter do Mrs. Law- son without further comment on this point. $.1 do not suppose any one rave Judge Hines saw sny suppression of truth tn the otaitement thut I had paid over $3,200 on the Oconee debt, espe cially as I did state that of $12,600 he had accounted for It exempt about $s,- 000.

It Ls true Judge Hines bos offered to furnish me w-fth copies of tits letCers and telegrams to me. But he foils to state bun I accepted that offer with thunk, ’two months ago. and also th-nl: he has fafled to furnish me with the copies of the letters and telegrams. Judge Hines -would have ft appear -that I entertain hatred -to him growing out of some -advice he gave my wife before marrying me. It 1-s true Judge Hines did write to her one of those insinuating ami contemptible kilters Where surmises without Charges an-d without authors save under -die pledge of secrecy made it Impossible to 'teach some one a lesson. Judge Hlnea Is. h'ow- ever, in error in supposing hatred, os : readily aa-w Why and excused his act It was after I had applied for the ad ministration upon Mrs. Lawson’s es tate. land; he knew it was nearly time to account. 1 do not wish to Injure Judge Hines, and have for a -long time hoped he would do rigirt, ntnv I de mand It. The orphans of Oapt. and Mrs. Lawson are entitled to their money, and I will not permit Judge Hines net only to fall to -produce their patrimony bu-t to at tempt to misrepresent the Pacts. I h-ave stated in letters -to Judge Hines foots a, plain and as pointedly as I have In my article; but he did not see fit -while here during court this month to take offense at them. This has been a matter of -business with me, but If Judge Hines -wishes -my opinion to per son or irn affirmance of these articles os well as my -letters to him, he knows very well how he can get It. My com- mun'lcatfon -wta» published in answer to a part of his stpeedh (Which speech I did not hear). It was -purely a dental of his assertion arnd not written on ac count of 'hts political campaign.

Kegro Man In tlie Early Morning—The Wrdlct of t!i Coroner’* Jury-Wai Lait Beat* Alive With Her Sitter* THE STROLLER, Ida Hull, oltaa Ida Hibks, a negro woman, 22 yeu.rs of age, -whose home is on Chestnut street, -woo found dead In a dump of castor bean bushes the city reserve below the East Ten nessee cotton yards, -and only a short distance from -tiie place -wtl)ere -the cir cus tenlt w-as located, yesterday morn ing at 6 o'clock The woman's throat was cut to two places raid Uhere was a gasth on her right hand. The discovery of the.body was made by a negro, who after giving the Information of the discovery to the people Working in the Bant Tennessee cOcson yards went a-.v.iy and has not been seen since by thbse whom he tol-.l Tne negro's r,-.t.me Is not known, and although Coroner Knight endeavored find him hie oould not do so, and till that Is kn'own of khe discovery Is -that he told the people at the East Ten nessee yards ’that his dog ran Into the bushes and began barking. He went to see What they were after a ml found -the body of iche woman, lying face downward. This whs at 5 o’clock yes terday -m-ormlng. After -flndting that the unknown ne gro's story of -the discovery of a dehd woman to the bushes was true, 'the yard hands sent for Coroner Knight, who pnomtply arrived and (took charge of the body. As quickly as possible a Jury -was empanelled and then the search for some one Who could throw some -light -on the murder, or who could tell something about, -the .woman, began. After much -Inquiry three negro women were found who hod seen the deceased on -tlhe diay before, but as none of them knew tmynhlng about her actions on tho night previous, or -with whbm khe had been, their testimony amounted to -nothing and the murder was as much a -mystery after the Inquest was over as before. At 11:30 the inquest was over und Coroner Knight had the body re moved to the -womu-n’s home, on Chest nut street. From the beet lnfonmutfan that can be learned. Ida Hall -wus last seen with her sister on their way to 'the circus, but as this sister could not be found yesterday, her neighbors saying she (raid gon« to the country Ito pick cotton, this report could ndt po verified, Whether the -woman werit -til the circus or -not is not known, os no ono could be found who sow -her there. The wit nesses -Who saw her on Monday tes tified IttMt she was sober wi;en they solw her, but as none of 'them saw her on -the night of the murder they oould not say whether She wa-s drunk or not. The cut tlha-t -produced death was no the loft side of the nook and was very deep. Tho out on the hand gives rl3e to the presumption that tho women grasped -She knife to prevent her ns- eullaint from cutting her. -About ten feet from the spot where (the woman -was found was a pool of blood arid todlcu- tiaM tlhut -tlhe -Woman staggered to the rpot where She wus found. The -place where ithe murder was committed Is a long distance from any habitation, nod is In an old field grown up in ragweeds higher thsn- a man’s head, und any number of people could eonaetH themselves 'there. A bolter S ince for such a crime could not bo ound without going deep into the Hwnmp, and 9t Is believed that tlie murderer persuaded the woman to tlio spoil-, cither during the circus perform ance or shortly niter It was over, as the body when found gave evidence off having been dead some time. Tho general belief among tho negroes thut the woman was murdered by aonie one connected with the oircn*, but no evidence baa been found to sup port this theory. It is reported that a woman was found uear the circus grounds with her ihnnt cut in Augusta on last Saturday morning after tho chons had departed. Coroner Knight Is doing all In his power to find some trace of tho fflur- drifter, but so far tuts no clue to work on. When the woman’s sister Is found she may bo ablo to throw some light on the crime. The verdict of the coroner s Jury was tl-at tho woman came to her death from two knife wounds on the neck at the hands of some one unknown to tho Jury.

Out of this number 01U.- 923 wore males and 917,428 were fe males, showing almost an equal divis ion of the sexes. Of the males 003,21!) remain single and 298,091 were mar ried. There were 10,823 widowers and there were 579 divorced men. Of the females 543,3U9 enjoy single blessed ness, while 302,097 were living under marriage vows- There were 18),123 widows and 1,551 women who had been divorced. There were CS0 men whose conjugal relations were unknown, and 1,280 women who were tn v-1 same condition. • It will be seen by these figures there are 19,880 more single males than females.. Also that there are 3,503 more females married than men. The greatest disparity exists between the widows and widowers. There were 52,302 more widows than widowers. On the subject of divorce the females lead by more than double in number. There were 1.551 ladles who had been relieved of the matrimonial yoke and only 579 men enjoying the same free dom, Bhowlng a difference of 072. or nearly a thousand noro women then men who are, liy tlielr present posi tions, giving convincing evidence that marriage is a failure. These figures are suggestive and many a wholesome lesson may he drawn from them. VITAL TO MANHOOD. torrhOM rum*) hr aw!S5ST{-i5*Rtt ° n ,;lS?? s ‘ ipolltm ’ GOODWYN & SMALL. - Sole Agents.
