- Prominent citizens of Habersham
county, the friends of Col. J. W.
Roberson, say they are determined to
their dinstinguished follow ci*-
iz.en for congress. Col. Roberson is
a very able man arid would be" an
honor to the district.
A citizen of an adjoining county
went to Athens not long since and
secured a wagon load of colored la
borers to work on iiis farm. Just as
ho was leaving the city with his he and
an (xrcursion was also in the act of
leaving and, behold, Ins wagon was
quickly emptied mid the train vta-.
plus that many more passengers.
Next time that gentleman goes to
town f.r a loiui of darkies he
should put a few water-melons in his
wagon. If there is one thing that is
more attractive to the average town
darkey than a “amission, 1 it s a big
ripe water melon.

A few davs ago the Constitution
published the following w.ich is now
•going the rounds of the press. It
■ diil not happen in R inks, or if it did
“the oldest inhabitant'’ doesn’t re
am ember it:
In Banks county a party of young
mtm secured 11 liollow log ami in
closed the end with a raw hide,
•drum like, and then passed through
a strip of leather. When adjusted
this musical instrument made sounds
as hideous as a menagerie of wild
animals, and could be heard a long
distance. The young men coni
nieueed operations in one section and
then moved to another, until the
entire county became fully persuaded
that tigers, lions, bears, hyenas, and
all the wild beasts of Africa and Asia
had escaped and were roaming in
bay galls and pine roods of that long
staple county. The boys added to
the excitement by narrating marvel
ous encounters they severally had
with the varmint. Mo one dared
venture out alone; the doors were
barricaded, churches unattended,
stores were without customers, and
when the neighbors ventured forth
they were in crowds, all well armed.
The excitement was increased by a
certain highly respected local preach
er riding furiously up to the post
oflicu and excitedly announcing that
he had encountered the hideous
monster, a veritable Bengal tiger, and
only by his courage and swiftness ot
his horse did he narrowly escape-
Many other highly respected citizens
saw the terrible animal—one in a
certain skirt of woods, another m a
graveyard, on a tombstone; one swore
lie saw him in the church grove, and
many asserted that they had met the
strived animal face to face in liie
‘ road, and that he was as big a horse.
1 1 f ever there was a tenor stricken
consmuni; v it was that of yw county
<>f Banks, li.it the boys foolishly let
the cut out of the hag. It was too
much for the preacher and tuose
who had seen the beast. [’he good
man and his fellow braves swore out
warrants and bad the boys arrested
and lodged in jail; but they were soon |
released with slight punishment.
TI KPIK ON SILVER.
In our issue of Jane <5, we printed |
Ihe views of Senator John Sherman,!
an extreme gold standard man. Below |
we print the views of Senator Turpie,
an extreme silver advocate. Read,
and take youi choice :
“Coined money has always been
and yet is in itself a thing of value,
and this value is of two kinds—the
metallic or bullion value and the
monetary worth or legal value.
“The lat'er is always a mutter of
jaw -the bullion value is always one
of estimation and i pinion. The bull
ion value of silver and gold, here arid
elsewhere, has always rested and
rests today upon one conception;
upon one opinion; upon one single
and simple item of belief—that :<•
there has been in the ages past,, *.>
there will be in the years to come,
no discovery of either of such metal
which as to the quantity shaii make
them comparable in value with any
other materials suitable for the use of
mankind as money.
“There has always been a differ
ence between the eotmneieiai or
or bullion value of the two metals,
and the legal or coinage value. Ac
cording to the test of the ehenm s of
bimelalisni, that the legal value of
coined money must, be the same as
the commercial or bullion'Value of
the metal in it, nothing could be
more dishonest. According to that
testimony, there is not-, and cannot
be an honest dollar of e ither silver
or gold.
“The use of silver or gold money
has added vcey greatly to llicT cc m
uiercial oi bullion value.
“Although cilery friend of human
ity rejoices in the destruction ol
exclusive government ownership of
the precious ores and t licit - metals,
yet there was one consequence which
followed the private ownership or the
same much to be deplored.
The Greed of Gold.
“Fora long time the equilibrium
was maintained by law between tin
two metals, hut at last 1 lie holders of
gold, being the same as the holders
oi debt, in iarge quantities, especially
national debt, succeeded in having
the government interfere by law In
this strife. They said we will not
dispute any longer about relative
values.
“Silver must be barred out. When
wo have killed silver foi use in coin
it w ill he worthless and les>. We can
buy and sell it at our own price, and
the ratio wiil bo an idle fiction of the
past.
“The syndicate of gold is <>t no
country, of no age or creed. Bimet
alists are not against gold. We are
for silver and for justice. Much has
been written on the stability of the
valuee of gold and silver, concerning
which it may be said that both these
metals are variable in value. Each
changes in value from time to time
like other commodities, but they
vary in value infinitely less than any
other commodity.
“It is said that if we restore silver
to free coinage gold will leave us.
This is asserted as a prmcibie under
what is called 'the Ciresham law or
rule,’ which is that where two or
more kinds of money are circulated
together arc circulated together the
interior will drive out the hotter cur
rency. This rule, save in very rare
instances, has no application to com.
But what party in our country is
seeking to debase its coin?
“The loss of our gold, the depart
ure of our gold, will, some opponents
say bring about depression. Yet
gold staid with us from the beginning
in usual quantities and proportion
until 1870, when we ceased coining
silver. From 1878 until 1878, while
silver was not coined, gold touched a
low ebb When, in IS7S, we began
to coin silver again, gold returned in
larger sums than over and staid and
increased with us. Since we ceased
the coining of silver in If! 1 ,);?, during
1894 and 189.>, gold has has left ns
again. The faith of the advocate of]
| a single gold standard is compounded
of one truth and one pernicious error,
i That coined standard dollars should
be of eq lai ;eg;:l value is true, hut
that the metal in them must be of
| equal value is a fallacy so contrary to
sour common sense and experience
that it cannot be touch aided by
propheeb s.
“I.et us as bimetalists remember
that we are Americans, citizens of
the great republic, dealing calmly
and deliberately with our highest
interests. Let us take counsel *.f
faith and hope Let us go forth with
manly hearts without fear, believing
in all confidence that the sliver and
gold dollar of our mints, the money
of (lie past, - mud, tried and true,
shall also be ahd remain the money
of the future.

Tim fruit crop of the state being very

department for a homemado fruit
dryer, 1 herewith pni i.sli a eat of one,
bv the u- • of whicn a large quantity of
fruit, VK-rrv -t and vegetables can ba
dried, regardless of tho weather.
Tins a:—img-ment is simply a hogs
head with a small stove in it and a box
o£ drawers, or sliding shelves above it.

i
Saw a door in the side of the hogshead
to admit the stove and fuel for feeding
it, cut a hole in the roar top for tho
pipe, carrying tho pipe up above the
b is. Saw an 18 inch square hole to the
front of tho stovepipe. Now take a
drygoods, or any other kind of a box,
knock joue end out, nail slats to tho
sides for the perforated drawers or
shelves to on, convert the top of
the box into a door with a bntton or
strap toll ten it, put in your uerfn*
rated shelves for holding f . - fruit and
you have your dryer complete. Coal
or w >od may be used, and a very hot
fire is not desirable. The door in the
hogshead should lie loft open to provide
air for the stove.
The color and flavor of the fruit will
bo improved by keeping a dish or pan
of water or. he back part of the stove,
to furnish moisture to tho heated air.
Tho :>ox lue.l not bo tight. A few
auger holes should be bored in the top
of the box to produce a current of hot
air up through the trays or shelves of
fruit.
IVtHPARATION OF TIIK FECIT.
Apples must be pared, cored, quar
teiv i or sliced. For drying by artificial
heat they are usually sliced. Peaches
must be peeled, halved and pitted.
Peeling is sometimes omitted, though
the peeled peaches generally sell for
two or three cents a pound more thau
the unpeeled. Plums and small pears
are dried whole. Grape's and the ber
ries are stemmed and dried whole after
caret'-.*, picking over. If a farmer has
no hogshead he can easily with a few
boards, make a substitute for it.
