OBITUARY.
Enoch Anderson, who died on the
7th instant, at the ripe old age of
eighty-seven, was an honest man, an
excellent neighbor, a true friend and
a devoted Christian.
The writer has known him for
seventeen years, and never lias known
a better friend. Among the last
words tiie writer lienad him utter be
fore he became so paralyzed as to be
unable to talk were: “I’ve lieen al
most there. I could see those people
ion the other side, and wanted to gp
; to them, hut 1 wasn’t permitted.”
I After he became speechless and
; seemed so anxious to say something
|to me, I remarked : “We can talk
together when we get ‘over there, ”
and he clapped his hands for joy
fie frequently said to me: “I am
ready and willing to die. God has
prolonged my life to a ripe old age.
I regret many acts of my life, but I
east myself iuto the arms of a merciful
Redeemer.”
I never saw stronger faith evinced
by any one. We will all miss his
good-natured, cheer id countenance,
but I am sati-fied that our loss is his
gain. T. 11.

Sub-Treasury Substitutc.
Ma ysvu.le, Ga., Aug. 14,1891.
Editor Gazette
After studying for some time the
sub-treasury scheme, I will give you
my views as to relieving the people
and to give them more money and
save our government from bankruptcy
and ruin. I will show you how the
scheme can he put in full operation
without erecting warehouses or ap
pointing agents by the government.
I will speak alone of Georgia, and
what I say for her will apply to each
state.
The National Farmers’ Alliance and
Union demands a per
capita circulation of SSO. How is this
money to be had and how are the
peoply to get it into hands?
The supreme court of the United
States being a sovereign power can
declare anytning to be money, and
from it there is no appeal. Whatever
the general government declares a
legal tender in payment of depts is
money.
Georgia, we will say, has in round
numbers 1,000,000 of people. Fifty
dollars j>er capita will put $50,000,000
into the hands of the people. Let
the general government print 850,-
000,000 of legal tender notes to pay
all depts, both public and private,
and advance them to the State of
Georgia, taking her obligation for
them, and charging the state only the
cost of printing the notes, which will
be a small fraction of one per cent.
Let this money pass into the state
treasury and let one-half of it be
loaned to the people on real estate,
property restricted and secured at
two per cent per annum for ten years,
the interest and one-tenth of the
principal to be paid to,the govern
ment at the end of eaeh year, the
other half to be advanced on any of
the five staple products, lotton, corn,
wheat, oats or tobacco, for one year,
on terms absolutely safe.
This will give the country a curen
cy both inflexible and elastic, and
will meet all the demands of business
As the population increases let the
amount of money in circulation be
increased so as to meet the demand.
The national government will be
absolutely safe, as the property of the
whole state can lie pledged as security.
The state can suffer no loss, as the
property of each individual can lie
held responsible for what ho or she
borrows. On real estate no one per
son should be permitted to borrow
more than $3,000 nor less than SIOO.
Fi ty million dollars loaned out to
the people at two per cent will yield
a revenue of $1,000,000, which will
meet all the expenses of the state
government, and relieve the people
from taxation.
This plan can be ’operated by the
state and county treasurers. Make
it mandatory on the county treasurer
to report at the end of each day to
the state treasurer, with penalties so
heavy that he w ill do his duty, and
the state treasurer to publish and
report at the end of each month the
exact condition, so all the people can
know what is being done.
Each state will be responsible for
the money she receives and loans to
her people, and can keep a close
watch over her own affairs, and we
will have good American money
that will be good anywhere in our
borders, and will not be affected by
the financial disasters that befall other
nations. And we will he relieved of
this enormous expense of building
alliance warehouses in each state,
and the expense of employing hungry
agents.
If this p’an is adopted the rights
and dignity of the United States will
remain unimpaired and the people
will save vast sums they now pay to
hanks and corporations in interest,
and what they pay will go into the
state treasurer and save them from
the present heavy taxation.
The laboring man of this covntry
must have relief, and he wants that
relief now. So let us ask the next
congress to heed our calls and honor
our petition*, and give us equal rights
with the men that seek to put the
laboring men in bondage.
We must have relief, by the sub
treasury plan or some other plan, we
don’t care how it comes so it comes,
and we have got to get it pretty soon,
for we are fast drifting into bondage
under the iron hand of monopoly and
money kings. So we must stand up
for our lights. The promise is to the
faithful, and if we are only faithful
the victory is ours. ‘ United we stand,
divided we fall.”
A. B. Means.
Where Botliri Petrify.
When the new cemetery was located
at Rapid City, S. I)., the remains of
the little son of Mr. Eugene Holcomb
were disinterred for removal. This, I
believe, was the first case of actual liu
man petrefaction observed in the liifls.
Liter on dozens were found to have
been transformed into solid rock, which
plainly preserved every feature, even
to the delicate tracing of the veins in
the temples, wrists and hands. At
Deadwood the remains of that famous
frontiersman. Wild Bill, wore also
found to be pctrilled. These things
may sound strange and unlikely, espe
cially to those residing in the east, but
in the Block Hills region it is an open
secret that not one corpse in a dozen
“turns to dust.”—St. Bonis Republic.
