THE INSIDE OF ATLANTA.
WHAT THE BANKERS THINK OF
THE SILVER QUESTION.
Atlanta, March 4.—Now that Congress la about
to dlacuaa the allver question, doubtleaa the views
of Atlanta banker*, whose experience ought to give
their opinions weight, will prove interesting to
those who care at all about the subject.
Atlanta's banker* differ about a* much on the
silver question as do the people. Some arc enthu*
elastic allver men; others are altogether opposed to
the coining of another allver dollar at present; and
motne there are who seek safety in the middle course.
There's Mr. Robert Lowry, the private banker,
and president of the Merchants Exchange; he is in
favor of more silver. He thinks it far superior to
paper currency. It is the people’s money,
feels better with a silver dollar in his pocket than
he does with the best paper dollar. Money is al
ways scarce as a commodity. The vast credit busi-
nee* done in thi* country, and especially in the
South, evidence! the scarcity of money. There U
no trouble about the silver dollar. It bas tbo stamp
of the government and It will be received by the
government for all dues. It is a legal tender, aud
that is all the people care abont.
"No, sir," said Mr. Lowry, continuing his re
mark*, wsnt money so plenty that every man
who owns a dollar value, either due or realizable,
can get it to take home at night w ith him."
Mr. Jno. H. James is very conservative in his
views, llo had not gl\en the silver quesll
titular study; but it is appareut to everyone that
there is not too much circulating medium in this
country. He could sco no daugcr to a coutiuuod
coinlug of silver.
Mr. L. J. Hill president of the Gate City National
Hank, was not inclined to talk much on the subject.
••For tho past si* months he had been a<ked fre
quently his opinion, as doubtless bad all other
lanta bankers. Tho inquiries came from
classes; from bankers... from Congressmen, and
from newspaper* in the Eastern cities. He could
not however, see # liow them
a wide difference of opinion on tho silver question,
In the face of the example of France. That country
has twenty millions fewer people than tho United
States, and yet it has three hundred and eighty
million* of dollar* more silver than thi* country,
and more gold than any country in the world. If
France, with but three-fifth* of the population of
the United State*, can handle ho many more mill
ions of silver than we have and thrive with and by
it, the argument that this country baa too much
silver is one that cannot but be very difficult to bo
successfully maintained. Franco also give* proof
that silver will not run gold out of a country, for
besides its enormous excess of silver over what we
have, it has, as 1 just said, inoro gold than any
country on earth,
"There is a reason why New York and other large
commercial centres do not require more money,
* and that Is breause nearly all tho important and
large transactions are dono by bill of exchange, by
check, by debit and credit. Georgia require*
money per capita than New Fork Hute. Tho Htato
is sparsely settled, and bank conveniences
to be had except in the larger towns. A New York
farmer can even pay his laborers with checks, for
they are always within a very short distance of
bank. In Oeorgla, all the agdculturul labor must
be paid with cash, because of the want of hanking
conveniences. Ho in Florida, the peoplo Teqnire
more more money per capita than we do In Geor
gia, because there the haukltig facilities do not
equal those of Georgia in proi*>r
tion to population. Of course the hoardlug
in the vaults ofj the government of immeuse vol
nines of silver, may become Inconvenient, but It
seem* without a close essmination of the law
egulatlng that, that a very large amount of allver
could be put In circulation by the government
placing $100,000 on dej»oslU in each and every
one of Its depositories throughout the country.
It Is Impossible that we could put out that amottut
right here from thia bank which 1* a government
depository. The object suggests itself now with
out any knowing whether the law would penult
■neb a distribution."
Mr. F. M. Coker. Sr., of the Bank of the State of
Georgia, had not studied tho t*sue yet. As a bank
er, be felt that there is not too much silver.
Mr. J. H. Porter, president of the Merchants'
Rank, finds too much silver in circulation. People
won't have it. We are burdened with It here,
where we have to pPe it in our vaults or ship it
New York, which costs about $:t ptr $100; and
course that of itself 1* a strung reason against sil
ver. Every summer silver really becomes a burden
to us in the mere handling alone.
Mr. Paul Roman*, the caahier, and Mr. Swann,
the president of the Atlanta National Rank, both
thought there is too much allver. "The lank la ship
ping every week uow from $30,000 to ! 40,000 to New
York at a heavy charge. People don't went silver.
No man will accept a thousand dollars for a thou-
aand-dollar check. A thousand silver dollars weighs
(10 pound*. Much money as that Is too hesvy U
handle a* a popular circulating medium. If a cus
tomer of the bank was forced to accept
silver, although a legal tender, in any
large sum, he would change his account to another
bank. If the coinage of silver continues and our
foreign bondholders are paid in silver, gold would
.at once be at a premium, and there is the danger
that awaits continued unlimited coinage of silver.
Put gold at a premium, and it wiU be in a short
time locked in the vaults of wealthy banka and in
dividual*. and is virtually taken from circulation.
It is the history of bimetallic currency that the
coarser metal has a tendency to run out of circuit-
tion the finer. There is now sufficient silver in
circulation—more than people want or will handle.
The bill which provided for the coinage of silver
as it ha* been done of late, has accomplished its
purpose. There was need of sliver; now we have
more than sufficient.
"Why then continue con ing? Of course there are
silver certificates in circulation, aud they are con
venient: but they represent a dollar which is only
worth a little over M) ceuts. The poor man ought
to have lou ceuts for every dollar's worth of labor.
It is bad enough to flood the country with a ma*<
of silver that is so bulky the masnes* will not ure
it, but it is certainly a wrong on the people to
force cn th« m a dollar, which is not a dollar, but
worth only ulwul no or K5 cents. Bat aside fru
the valuo of the dollar, silver Is not a popular cir
culating medium. That cannot be gainsaid.
There i* more in the country now thau can he used:
and to tncrea** the number can do no one good and
may work great harm.”
d us trial school. The successful schools of tbs
kind In other sections of the country wore all begun
In a small way. They were enlarged as the com
munities grew to know their merits. The Atlanta
school will be begun in a small way. As the de
mand for Increase of capacity and facilities grows,
it l* the intention to meet it. The school will prob
ably be more hampered this year than it will be
any year hereafter, owing to the fact that tho city
will lose this year one-half its former Income from
liquor licenses.
It is expected to ojmn the school next September
when the regular schoot* open. In the meantime
every effort will be made to perfect the plans for
tho school.
“Is this step, on the part of the Atlanta school
board, an effort to secure the State technology
school?"
"lly no mean*.' was his reply. “Atlanta needs an
Industrial school, and we are preparing to give It
one without any reference to the location of the
State school. Of course, I should be very glad to
have the school here, not only because Atlanta is
my honie, but because it Is the capital city, and
also, and above all, because it is the most enter
prising cJty in !be State. When student* graduate
from tho technology school, there would he more
opportunity for them to obtain employment her« at
the centre of manufacture than in any other Geor
gia town. That being true, it would be well for tho
boys to be familiar with the ploco and |>eopte
here in all probability most of tbo*n would find
employment. But my plan about the industrial
school is not in the slightest connected with an}
Idea of Atlanta’s securing the State school of tech
oology."
There 1* considerable enquiry about tho delay of
the Governor In appointing tho directors of the
technology school. Of course the longer appoint
ments are delated, the greater importance
they assume in the face of the approachiug guber
natorial convention. I could understand how a
whole district or section of the State would swap
a governor for a technology school. Tho directors
will have the selection of tho locality for the school.
Tlie Frozen Feet Case.
Atlanta, March 4.—The grand Jury began an in
vestlgatlon this morning of tho case of Rud Wil
liams, the negro whose feet were frozen in the
.14. About forty convicts were marched up
the court house to be examined as witnesses in
o. The testimony of over half of them was
taken this morning. It begins to look now as if
this terrible case will receive a thorough investiga-
nd tbo guilty persons, if any there be,
brought to Justice,
Meeting General Oartrcll on roy way from tho
court house he said : “The parents of Rud Williams
have been to see me. They w i«b me to bring suit
against the county for f 10,000 for the boy.”
Will you do It?"
I have not yet decided. I may bring the suit
unless tho couuty will agree to settle tho matter on
fair basis."
•Can yon sue a county, General ?"
“Why yes. A couuty can sue and be sued.
Why?"
•Well, l didn’t know. I don't know much about
law, but it strikes me thatjw a county is not
poration, It would be rather difficult to sue i
•Oh," said he, “there's no trouble about It at all.

in her feet. She also suffered with paine in
her side. The trial has not been concluded.
Lawrence, Kan., March 2.—The spint
ualistic investigation which has been going
on here for some time came to quite a sen
sational close last evening. For three weeks
the medium, George Search, has been very
successful with his so-called seances, re
ceiving thereon nightly from $20 to $40.
Ilis programme began with the dark circles
over which violins, guitars and musical in
struments generally floated, discoursing in
harmonious music. Ia his cabinet scenes
he sat in the inclosure, having his head out
through an aperature, his hands being held
by two persons. Very satisfactory re
sults were reached in furnishing mes
sages from tho other world,
spirit wrappii gt and manifestations,
in the appeurum c of hands and supernatu
ral representations generally. The city is
flooded with messages from departed
friends, the bookstores having hud large
custom for costly frames therefor. To the
the chief clerk and mail superintendent of
the post-office, with their wives, belong the
credit of the exposure. After .Search’s per
formance last evening they proposed and,
with the same conditions, carried through
his entire programme in detail, proving all
to be sleight-of-hand acts, combined with
dishonorable trickery. In the circle from
attachments he swung the instruments in
tho cubinent, and deluded his guards so as
to have his right hand free, with which all
manifestations and messages were manipu
lated. The performance ended in a very
belligerent manner. Search has disap
peared.

four daughters. Earlj’ on the morning of
October 23, Mrs. Howell with her oldest
daughter, aged thirteen yeurs, went to
a neighboring village, leaving Howell at
home with the other four children,
aged respectively eleven, eight, six and
four years. At five o’clock in the evening
they returned home. On entering the
house they were horrified to find the father
lyin g insensible upon the kitchen fioor
with two bullet wounds in his body.
Stepping into an adjoining bedroom a still
more horrifying scene met the vision there.
Upon two beds lay the four children, all
dead. Since he has been in jail he has
talked to no one not even to his counsel,
but has occupied his tia;e

Samuel Newcombe, to’ whom Howell con
fessed his awful crime, testified that he was
with the prisoner during the three days
that followed the tragedy, and that Howell
repeatedly said to him: “X have murdered
my four innocent children.” Upon being
asked if ho did not wish to recover and be
come a better runn, so that when he died he
might meet his cnildren in heaven, he re
plied: “No! No! Why, I murdered them.
They would not want to see me, and I
would be ashamed to meet them.” The
case will probably close to-morrow, nnd it
is tho general belief that he is insane, aud
will not be convicted of murder.
