from the |and troubles m that «ec-

It Is particularly noticeable that these
tnunlers, killings and the various
crimes of • more or lose serious char
acter, arise out of the aversion of the
prv/ple of that election of the Htate to
the limited Urate* court and its oflloera.
There still cxlieta among those people
tv total ignorance aa to what the United
State* court really is. They look upon
it and Its dfflrent as ineriopet*. inter-
fee'ng with the ftfihtu of fre-born cltt-
Kt«to of the South. They see only half
informed as to the Internal revenue
laws, and they fail to undemtand how
they can be ttvMp«M*nt* aa land that a*
far is they know, has had no owner
since they were boy*. Then the United
States court Is, they seem to think,
something that on general principles
should never make them “bend the
Irtlee.’’ A tyrant a nd a Casar, the Judge
Of tiho Untied States court, they think,

HAJY YOUR rout, TAX.
According to the slntcmont made in
the gramd Jury ptwenitimenlta yesterday
a very huge tnajorriy of tbo people of
this county have i»t paid their poll
tax. flSio TViVdgmph hoites rival prompt

dflivm of sflUihs uintf. If there Is nmy taw
by. which a mm cam tvo made to bear
th's very small staire of Hue burden, or

out delay. There Is really no excuse
for Rot jtaying tv poll hast. It Is the
very smallest tax that coukl be llniv>sod
ant until it lb paid e'.iteensJvlp Is not

no right to a, voice In public nffalm,
except by oourfexy, unlest he Is a olti-
zen and it lb shocking Indeed to And
that so few of lti» people of Illbb coun
ty arc net clt xeos wWi the right to

the county.

‘You «ee tho»«» negroes out there,”
«ald Jailer tMillfoons fo me the other
nay. I allured him that I did, n« I
noticed a crowd of negroes In front of
the Jail. “Well, it would astonlah you
to know that those same negroes have
been waiting out there all day and
some, of them have been hanging
arcuntd here for weeka. They come
early In the morning and remain all
day.
“Why do they do It?” I asked, al
though I had eeen them ehoush to
know why.
“Perhaps one or two of them have
relatives in here and for gome reason
they have a great desire to stay
around, not that they can do their
relatives any good, but Jiutf simply, I
believe, to excite the sympathy of
other n?groe,. Now. there Is a woman
out there Who came here this morn
ing to see her son, -but 1 let her In and
she stayed a long while. When she
went out eh* took her position on the
sidewalk and other negroes joined
her. Tho whole crowd have been there
all day. It i« the same thing every
day, and I wish there was shme way
to stop lx, not that 1 they do any par
ticular harm or disturb any one, but
It keeps them Idle, and I believe if
they .were forced sway from here some
of them at least might go to work.”
I heard two prominent business men
talking yesterday, and thstr theme
was the peach carnival. Presently one
of them said: “By the way, don’t you
’think we property owners should make
a lltttle preparation for the carnival?
What I mean ts that we should im
prove the appearance of our property,
especially the business houses, with
fresh palrtt. Some of our store build
ings aro very unsightly and a nice,
fresh coat of paint would bring them
out nicely. We folks who live hero
and See them every day do not realize
how badly they look, but a stranger
will notice It and form an unfavorable
opinion." s<'
“By Jingo! Your’e right,” enthu
siastically exclaimed the other man,
“and I shall begin at once” to have
my place painted as pretty as a peach,
I'm glad you mentioned It, fi'f-I don't
believe X Would have thought'of It.”
“1 own some property," said tho first
speaker, hut rent Che store' I am in.
X shall, however, have my own prop
erty painted nicely, nnd demand of
my landlord that tho utore'l occupy
•hall be painted. X want'Jtaeon to
have on her best clothes nnd be on her
best behavior when the peach carni
val opens, for, I’ll teh yen, a great
crowd of people with rocks .In their
pockexs are coming down here and
they want to Invest. A pretty, clean
city will make a good Impression on
them, and I hope every, property
owner mill get to painting right away."
I was talking avtth Mr. George B.
Robertson yesterday. Mr. Rcfeeraton is
otto of the biggest fruit growers and
shippers In this section, <uul he Just
can't keck from talking About tho
great fruit crop and the great pile of
shekels he can almost even now reel
In his grasp. "As on evidence of
what a few peach trees will yield, let
me tell you about ninety frees owned
by Mr. It. IV. Sanford at Everett’s.
In 1839 Mr. Sanford sold from these
ninety trees 1500 -worth of p-aches,
and this j-enr he expects tb sell tnvo
oar load*, which mill net him between
$1,800 ami $2,000. You must remember
that these trees are extraordinary, hut
ft lust (hows wbnt Georgia oan do In
the way of peach culture. Mr. San
ford owns other line orchards, tout they
will not give anything Uke tilts
average yield of the ‘ninety trees al
luded to."
'‘1 never took a more pleasant trip In
my life," said Chief Butner lost night,
In speaking of his recent visit to
Whshlnrton to the national chief of
police convention. "Everything was de
lightful. and QTccially ;),<> r-lp to
Mount Vernon, but aside from this
pleasure It was very profltable, I
learned lots of things 1 did not know,

How Improved Means of Separation

lntervtmr that a correspondent from Al

The question of the probable and the
possible ratio* between gold and silver
values 4s to a considerable extent one
of industrial relations into which enter
neither political opinions nor theories
of monetary legislation. Tho raw ma
terials from which the two metals are
produced present marked differences.
Much the greater port of gold ores con-

gravelen resuhing from the abrasion
of oudh auriferoun quartz. The pro-
oenaes employed far collecting^ this gold
are very Hlnupde, and aVmost purely
mechanical. Thoe*e methods now most
approved were In use before the discov
ery of America* if not by the Romans,
and the Elmprov'ements made upon them
in modem times are confined to minor

In countries whose industry is crude,
such s* (Europu ih the Middle Agee and
Asia before the commeroial treaties of
this country, a pound of gold was
worth only about ten pounde of rtlver,
because the methods of extracting sil
ver were so costly that a smaller gold
gold price for silver would not have
paid expenses. The almalgamatlon pro
ceed discovered In Mexico In the six
teenth century opened to exploration
ballons of tons of silver ore not •tract
able by older methoda. Most of the
silver .which has been produced In the
Western Cordilleras of North and South
America In the last three and 1, a half
centuries has been produced by amal-
gamatfon, and the effedti of this process
was to carry down ’the ratio of silver
to ttold from the old value to fifteen and
a half.
In tht» century also great advances
have been made. Silver is now sepa
rated most completely from lead, which
Is always more or less argentiferous,
at an almost insignificant cost, while
before the m'Udlo of the century only
sitah lead a» w.is very rich In silver
would bear the cost of separation. Now
adays there' Is very Uttle lead produced
poor In saver .that the extraction
of this nroduot la not profitable. Then,
too, a whole series of teaching process'*
have been devised whicn are capable
of deoiling with rebellious ores fotmerly
the despair of metallurgist*, excepting
under unusually faraprab&e condition*.
Has the present relative ‘tow price of
silver nothing to do with the relatively
low cort at which It can be produced?
Have the Bessemer and Stamens ateel
processor anything to do With the fact
that steet l* now worth about a tenth
of what It wus before they were in
vented?
Not only have processes Dor the ex
traction of silver been troproved, but
they are subject to still greater im
provement; while it is difficult to con
ceive that gold ores (mheiher sulpu-
retted or not) can be handled by any
process at a considerably lower oust
than they are now treated. Hence, it

In refutation, I send you a press clip

you wish to. tout which quoted here
would extend this article beyond

grounds. He aiys that by Improved
appliances and methods nowadays,
“that, there to very little lead ore pro
duced so poor In silver that the ex
traction of the by induct (silver) Is
not profitable."
In order to catch the votes erf farm
ers, he informs them that a bushel of
wheat at 50 cents .will not psy so much
debt nor buy so much as a bushel of
whrat would »t $1.60. I must give him
credit for this one fcol. which Is os
profound and **lf-evident as that made
In the 'burial service—"that all flesh

when we have unlimited silver coinage
the dollar he will receive for his

cents, and that when he goes to apend

shopkeeper, for Iris supplies, that he
will find all price* itouble-l on him.
Half, price for hta labor .and double
price for his necessaries Is worse than
a two-edged mvord murdering the
wealth of our country, which Is its
manufacture* and the excess of ex
ports over Imports. Of all men the
laborer meet need* protection and fair,
