10 THE MACON WEEKLY TELEGRAPH: TUESDAY, MARCH 0, 1886.-TWELVE PAGES. 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.

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.

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. INHUMAN ROBBERS. KILLED HIS FOUR CHILDREN. John Howell on Trial For the Slaughter of Ills Innocents.

Tbs desire 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 iu pacing his cell. In answer t tho usual question “Guilty c not gtiityr’ he uiAratysVnk hi* ho.il. 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.
