DUN ON THE BOND ISSUE QUESTION
Thinks It Is Not Calculated to Encourage
—Business Failures Larger Thau
Usual for Norembor—Brad-
streets* More Hopeful,
New York, Nov. 16.—R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weeffly review of trade tomorrow
will say: In nearly all brauches of
business gradual Improvement appears
and the hopeful feeling observed last
week continues. Then It was also noted
that the main conditions of business
and trade had not suddeiy changed, and
this belief was clearer, to iho d'sap-
pointment of some. l.otv farm pro
ducts, low wages and only partial em
ployment of laiuor still retards distri
bution and the limited demand binders
the recovery of industries. Progress
toward recovery has not ceased and
many eataibllshmeats hare resumed or
added to their .producing torce, some,
also advancing wages, hut it wlU take
time to lift business out of its depres
sion, and the progress made, if less
than the sanguine expectations, Is at
least encourag.ng. The decision to of
fer $50,000,000 bonds for replenishment
of the treasury reserve was by hankers
generally approved, but events are
showing that restoration of oontldenco
cannot by Itself remove all embarrass
ment.
It Is generally assumed that the of
fered bonds will be taken at once.
The effect Is less easy to anticipate
for the formal announcement that af
ter a general reconstruction of the rev
enue laws. It Is still found necessary
to borrow largely tends, to raise doubts
about financial provis.oas for the fu
ture. The reported importation of
gold from London, with a. loss on its
face of $7,500 at present exchange
rates, is presumably meant to affect
bond subscriptions. There have al
ready ‘been some withdrawals of gold
from tha treasury by redemption of
notes to make, payments for 1 tends,
and goods rather than gold are likely
to come from Europe. London l.as
also sold here about 15,000 shares dur
ing the week.
Money continues to accumulate, none
going West, while the outgo to the
South has diminished. Bankers are
much encouraged by Indications of
larger business, but there Is no in
crease as yet in commercial borrowing
and one dry goods loan has boeu taken
at 2 1-4 per cent. Merchandise import*
in two weeks of November have been
16 per cent larger than last year,
though 30 per cent, less than in ISM,
and exports for the same time show a
deoreaso of about 8 per cent. Ex
ports Ml bjeadstuffs, cotton, provisions
and o.l in October were $37,000,367,
against $58,828,035 last year, although
a million bales of cotton wont abroad
and tha value of the same quantities
exported this year have exceeded $70,-
000,000 at last year's prloes, the differ
ence Cn prloes alone being $10,600,000
In oottem and $2,400,060 In breadstuffs.
Resumption ot work and increases
of working time have been more con
spicuous in the cotton Industry than
in others, but no increased demand for
goods appears. Print cloths are un
changed and the market Is dnll.
Failures in the first week of Novem
ber were rather larger than of late,
the liabilities amounting to $2,844,-
445, of which $742,420 were of manu
facturing and $2,083,077 of trading con
cerns.
In five weeks ending November 1,
liabilities In failures were $11,127,200,
of which $4,460,813 were of inanufac-
lng and $6,057,074 of trading concerns.
The failures for the past week have
been 270 In ®o United State*, against
323 last year, and 39 In Canada,
against 36- last year.
' BRAIDSTREETS REVIEW.
New York, Nov. 16.—Bradatreofa to
morrow will say: Perhaps tha most
conspicuous favorable feature of the
general trade situation la found la nu
merous reports from merchants and
manufacturers throughout the country
of a disposition to regard th? business
outlook more encouragingly and with
Increased confidence In an early Im
provement fn trade. Even In many
portions of the South and Southwest
advices from the Interior are that the
country merchant Is doing an increased
volume of business, based on favorablo
weather and large crops. This was
the more striking In view of the con
tinued reports of the unfavorable effect
on trade South and of the low price of
cotton. . From Georgia It Is learned
that fertilizer manufacturers have ar
ranged to curtail their output next
season, In some Instances as much as
forty per cent.
Among the larger Eastern cities,
Philadelphia, Pittsbnrg Bnd Buffalo re
port a moderate Improvement in some
manufacturing and commercial lines.
New Orleans reports relatively the
greatest gain In volume of business of
Southern cities, notably in groceries,
shoes and dry goods, and Improvement
Is noted at Memphis and a good volume
at Jacksonville also. The least favor
able Southern report Is from Galves
ton, with collections unsatisfactory,
and some interior merchants asking
for extensions. Cbittau'Mga,. too. re
ports trade duller nod collections
slower, due to cotton being withheld
from the market. There Is a fair
movement df merchandise at Atlanta
and Savannah, but at Augusta Jobbing
is dull.
Business In most lines Is reported
very quiet at Birmingham, ard at
Charleston and, except for holiday
goods, at Nashville.
norther IN TEXAS.
Dallas. Nov. II.—A fierce norther sot
here at daylight this morning and has
been biwing all day. It brought with
It a veritable doit or sand storm, which
filled the atmosphere with all it could
hold up. The rain predicted and so badly
heeded did not materialize.
TO EXTEND OR NOT TO EXTEND.
Forsyth's City Limits a Matter of Con
siderable Discussion.
Forsyth, Nov. 16.—(Special.)—A question
to which a deal ot gravity !s attached
to tho citizens ot Forsyth at present Is;
Shall the corporate limits of the town
be extended to a radius Of one mile from
tbo court house?
At present there seems to be a diver
sity ot opinion as to the probability and
result of the limits of the town being
extended.
The citizens, almost to a man, are in
favor of extending IM mcporats limits,
but there are thoso outside of tho pres
ent limits who are decidedly averse to
being annexed to the city proper. >nd
they express themselves In no uncertain
terma regarding the proposed extension.
Recently a notice was published to the
effect that a bill would be introduced
in the present house to make the cor
porate limits extend a mile from the
court house Instead of one-half mile, and
thus the quesUon was prominently put
before the people.
The question has been discussed pro
and con until it has assumed a very in-
tercsUng pbaae. The Monroe Advertiser,
In an article of eomo length, declares It.
self as being opposed to ths extension,
and suggests that there are no advan
tages to be derived from the annexation.
A petition was circulated today, which
was liberally signed by tho cltltens. hear
tily Indorsing tho movement, and which
shows a decided willingness on the part
of the "milder*" to increase the radius
of the city limits.
A number of tho handsomest residences
are located lust outside the limits and
should they be Incorporated It will add
materially to ■ he city treasurer's e x-
chcquer.
Both the "outsiders" and residents are
taking a decided stand In ths matter and
the result ot the proposition Is being
anxiously awaited by all Interested par
ties.'
Judge John J. Hunt, Judge Jaimes 8.

PIKE’S PEOPLE ABE PLEASED.
Charlie Bartlett's Elsetlon All They
Could Have Wished.
BsmesvlHe, Nov. 16.—(Sneclil.)-Th#
Home Journal of tomorrow, fn comment
ing on the recent congressional election,
will contain the following editorial:
"The fact that Col. Whittaker wan elect,
ed in this, his own county, was to oe ex
pected, but in no other county did he
succeed, and the election so far as we
have heard was fairly conducted. All the
people of the Sixth district will he fairly
and ably represented by Col. Bartlett in
the next house.”
Congree liman-elect Bartlett has a host
of strong frlendB and admirers In this
city and they have no doubt but that ho
will stand In tha front ranks of the
Georgia delegation before the expiration
of his first term. A leading politician of
Pike county said to me this morning: "It
Is a good thing for the Democratic patty
of the 81xth district that Charlie Bart
lett was nominated. His nomination
caused Btbb county-to" work as she has
never done before, and the result shows
that she acquitted horsolf nobly.' This
gontlaroan voiced the sentlmeat of the
people of this entire county.
The news of tho death of Dr. W. O
Bass was received in this city with many
expressions of regret. He was a good
roan and it can be truthfully stld of lilm
that he has gone to meet his reward In
the house not made with hands, eternal
in the heavens.
Bamesvillt is shipping more cotton now
than over before kadwn In her history.
Cotton buyers are paying the highest mar-
ket price and they are surely getting the
cotton.
Dr. W. R. Tyler has greatly ■•npr.i' tl
hie dental rooms and ths improvoments
are not finished yet. Ho Is a first-class
dentist and con do anything in his lino
from setting a broken Jaw to xtract-
Ing a nasal polypus.
Mis* Gertrud* Connolly, one of Barnes-
vllie's loveliest and most charming young
•die? "turned home today from a de.
llghtful visit to friends and relatives in
the Central City.
Mrs. Carl W. Steed Is visiting her pa-
rants, Dr. and Mrs. K. P. Moore, in JJa-
Mlas Lemra Bwatts, who ha* been vis-
Ring relatives in Talbott county for sev
eral days, win return home tomorrow.
Miss Mary Lou Garter of Orlando, Flo-
after a pleasant visit to Mrs. Charles
Grattick In this city, returned homo to-
uty,
Mrs. 8. W. Hitch, who has been visit
ing the family of Rev. H. P. Myers, re
turned to her home In Waycross last
evening.
Madam Rumor has It that another mar-
flags will be solemnised In this city be
fore the new year is ushered 1n.
The People's Tribune, a third parly
sheet, made Its appearance In this city
today. R is edited by Morcock and Kelly
of Thomaston and is quite a small affair.
THE HLECTlbiToF JUDGES.
Sparta, Nov. I0.-<Spec!aL)—Col. J.
T. Foster of tlie Sparta bar. who Una
given touch thought and study to tho
good and bad methods employed In
elections, tugMrfs tho following as a
plan for electing the Judges nnd solic
itors of tho state:
Let the governor appoint tho Judges
of the supremo court, tho appointment
to bo confirmed by the senate.
Let the Judges of the supremo court
nominate three lawyers for each cir
cuit, from whom the governor Is to se
lect a Jndgo of that circuit.
Lot the supremo court judges select
three lawyers from each circuit, from
whom the governor )s to appoint a so
licitor of that circuit
Then chose appointments of Judges
end soUoKors ns made by the governor
are to be also confirmed by the senate.
This plan Is a very striking one and,
coming from the source It does, de
serves tho consideration of th© present
legislature.

HOI/DON’S FARMERS.
They Are Not Encouraged, But Have
. Not Lost Heart.
Holton, Nov. "lG.-(Spe<i!al.)-4'h« re
mainder of the cotton crop will soon
be gathered here, and while the returns
have not been nt nil satisfactory, tlie
farmers are endeavoring to b© con
tented, though It strains some'of them
considerably. Much thoagnt Is being
given ns to the making of tlio coming
orop. It la quite possible that not more
than one-half of tho usual area will bo
put In cotton and that much huid will
llo Idle. The situation hears most
heavily upon 'tho, largo land owner, ns
ho cannot hire and feed labor and
make ends meet. The oat crop, ono
of grea-|; Importance, or should bo In
thfs crisis, Is sadly. neglected so far,
and little has been sooded. Two or
three gentlomon of Holton who are not
farmers have taught a good object les
son by kooplng threo or four bogs In
their lots. They have from them made
more money Chau tho cotton from a
onu-horse farm. It would be a great
benefit to tho country If landlords
would require one-half of their rent to
bo paid In grain and moat. This would
lnducn tenants to raise more hog and
hominy and the surplus would always
find ready sales in tho home markets.
North Bit Is anxiously awaiting tho
action of tho grand Jury, as (hey tool
that some good work can be' dona by
them.
The recent freeze did some damage
1o potatoes and tho sugar-enno that had
not been ground.
Tho Holton school-ne taught by Miss
Mamie Jomlson Is giving satisfaction
to its patrons.
Several Macon people have been
prospecting tor lands about hero with
a view to forming for another yenr.
Good citizens and neighbors are al
ways cordially welcomed. Thoro Is a
good opening hero for a small canning
factory: also a tan yard.
Mr. John Dptlng, a good citizen of
Monroe county, will move to Bibb
soon for tiio benefit of Its schools and
for nearness to market.
There has been a great change to
Macon for the belter as a farm produce
