WEEKLY CIRCULATION. I.TM.
JAM. B. BROWS, Borrom.
TO OUR PATRONS.
We are under many obligations to
thoee of our patrons who have so gen
erously and promptly come forward
during the past month or so and set
tled their subscription dues, and we
take this method of returning thank*
for the same. There are a great many,
however, who are yet in arrears, and
though the amounts are generally
small, m the aggregate the sums thus
due would foot up considerably over
|2,000. We have done our best to fur
nish s good paper—a paper worth all,
and even more, than the price of sub
scription—and it is nothing but right
that we receive promptly what is due
us. Please observe the printed date
on the margin of your paper, and if
you are in arrears be good enough to
call and settle, or remit by mail. We
have about seventeen hundred names
on our list, and it would be a physical
impossibility to get around and see
all of our patrons personally.
This is not intended as a dun, but a
pimple business statement, and will be
so regarded by our friends we feel as
sured. We need the money. ^
He is of the Same Opiuion Still.
Beveral weeks ago we gave a synopti
cal report of the decision rendered by
Judge Emory Speer in a case growing
put of an attempt made by one of the
numerous foreign loan companies doing
business in this State to foreclose a
hlOrtgage on certain real estate pledged
by a borrower to secure a loan obtained
through its agent, etc., the main points
of which are doubtless yet remembered
by our readers. In that case Judge
Speer held that the loan transaction
wasusurious, and upon this ground the
plaintiff’s demand for interest in ex
cess of the legal note allowed by the
laws of Georgia was disallowed by the
Court. A similar case has just been
disposed of in Macon, and Judge Speer
strongly reaffirms the principles an
nounced in his former decision.
The case is thus described by the
Macon Sunday Times:
The case in the United States Court
of the Corbin Banking Company Vs.
Gay, which has attracted such wide
spread interest, was decided on yester
day. The jury brought in a verdict for
$4800 against Gay, with interest at, 8
per cent, since the debt became due
and 10jjer cent, upon principal and in
terest for attorney’s fees. 1 lie verdict,
therefore, knocks off the $1,707 which,
the defendant had never received, and
which it is claimed was usurious inter
est, and gives the Corbin Company a
judgment against him . for the _ sum
actually paid in hand, with legal inter-
Tiie question assumed a general im-
J iortance by reason of the fact that this
lebt was secured by a deed in which
the debtor held au equity of redemp
tion and which, in this State at least,
amounts to little more, if any, thuia
mortgage. If this case, which by agree
ment is a test, has been _ properly ad
judged, the Corbin Banking Company
loses the security for all loans made in
Georgia, and possibly the South.
The charge of Judge Speer was clear
and forcibly illustrated. The verdict
was just such as has been expocteu for
several days. .
If sustained by the final tribunal,
the verdict of this Court, strips the ex-
cessive interest from thousands of
loans in Georgia, and during the inter
im ties up the whole business of the
company here. And not alone the Cor
bin Banking Company, but others
operated upon the same plan, of whom
there are several, will suffer greatly.
The New York Star says “Mr. J. B.
Sargent, of New Haven, has the lar
gest. factory in the United States for
the manufacture of builders’ hardware,
and does not fear free trade, be
cause, taking into consideration the
difference in the cost of living, his
workingmen arc not paid higher wages
than those current in England. Be
sides, for every dollar that he spends
for wages, two are required for mate
rial. If raw material were admitted
into this country free, the only way in
which it could affect his business would
be that instead of employing 2,000 men,
there would probably be work for twice
as many.” The gentleman alluded te
is a brother of Capt. H. J. Sargent, of
Newnan, and to show that close kin
ship does not always signify kindred
affinities, the Southern representative
of the family is a rank protectionist.
He is also a manufacturer, but regards
the doctrine advocated by his New
England brother as a species of politi
cal heresy but little removed from
fanaticism. It may be a source of com
fort to the distinguished New Haven
gentleman, therefore, to know that h1s
views are vastly more popular in the
South than those advocated by his es
teemed but erratic Georgia relative.
TnE Farmers’ Alliance met at Fort
Valley on the 20th met. for the pur
pose of organizing a State Alliance,
and held a two days’ session. Delegates
representing twenty counties were in
attendance and a full organization was
effected. The work will, in the future,
be done under the direction of the
State Alliance. * Organizers were sent
from the National Alliance from Texas.
^iuties will hereafter organ-
senatorial district. The of
ficers of the State Alliance are: R. H.
Jackson, president; J. 9. C. Glenn, vice-
president; R. L. .Burke, secretary; J-
A. Daaiel, treasurer; Sunoa Maxwell,
chaplain; John T. Greene, lecturer;
Edgar Stewart, doorkeeper; Sr T. Har
per. assistant doorkeeper; N. C.
Bridges, sergeant-at-arms; J. H. Tur
ner, State organizer.
The Savannah News hits the nail
squarely on the head when it says:
“It is a mistake to suppose that the
high protective tariff is intended to
benefit working men. It is intended
for the benofit of wealthy corporations
and monojiolists. They are the ones
who demand it, and they pay out their
money freely for publications to con
vince working men that it is for their
benefit. These monopolists and rich
corporations, however, never miss an
opportunity to reduce the wages of
working men, and if the law didn’t pre
vent they would import labor when
ever they could save a few dollars by
doing so. American working men will
get their eves open sufficiently after
awhile to see the iniquities of the pro
tective system.”
The next Legislature should author
ize the printing of a new Code, and put
the work into such hands as will insure
its thorough and intelligent execution.
The present Code is the most bungling
specimen of State printing that we
have ever seen, while the codification
is no less defective and harrassing—ex
cept, perhaps, to the briefless lawyer
who has ne other occupation than that
of studying its devious intricacies.
One of the neatest, cleanest, newsiest
newspapers in Georgia is the Macon
Sunday Times, edited by Messrs. A. R.
Lamar and H. S. Edwards. Although
a weekly, it is the multum in parvo of
all that is bright, crisp and newsy,
while its editorial page fairly scintil
lates with brilliancy. It is a splendid
newspaper, and If possible overreaches
the limits of this rigid descriptive,

Alwaya at the Front.
Dr. J. T. Reese, of Newnan, has made
arrangements whereby responsible par
ties suffering with any of the following
troubles can get their medicine on a
positive guarantee—NO benefits, NO
pay: „
Sallow' Complexion; Thin Blood;
Weakness; Loss ok Appetite; A
bloated, puffed and watery condi
tion of Face, Legs and Stomach; Gen
eral Weakness; Shortness of
Breath, etc. Any and all Liver
Troubles; Sprains; Bruises; Cuts;
Wounds, and anything a Liniment is
good for. All these, and any troubles
for which Nunnbetter Remedies are
recommended.
That was certainly an appreciative
Mississippi editor who, when invited
out to dinner, wrote of the repast as
follows: “The rolls were a perfect
passionate poem, the fried ham a
dream of delight, and the baked goose
a glimpse of paradise.”

REMARKS.
It wi’l be seen that the trustees have estab
lished what may be called a Public School
The fees charg-d ate no higher than the ma
triculation loes In our city schools.
This announcement is made possible by the
liberal subscriptions of the citizens of Turin,
and of the community, to the salary ot the
teachers. The‘teachers are paid au annual
salary, and whatever overplus there may be
will goto the building fund, for improving its
school-house. t
The trustees were determined that Turin
-houlct offer educational inducements eonal
t- t he ty-st In the land. To this end they rais
ed. by popular subscription, a sum for salaries
sufficient to secure the best teachers.
PROF. MOSES is well known to the peoplc
of Coweta, and of the surrounding counties,
hq the successful principal of the Newnan
Male Seminary. Under bis supervision that
s-hool became the largest private Boys’
■school in the State. 5Ve secured him as
P'-incinal because he ranks among the best
as a teacher, and because he is identified with
ii-in building up our town and community,
lie will devote hi“ entire energies to the up-
nuilding of the educational and other Inter
ests of Turin.
M US. LILLA JONES is wc.'i known te our
people, having taught- here before, to the. en-
tire* sRtisfaciion of ilit* patrons- liftving r&-
kcii a thorough course iu toe State Normal
school at Nashville, she is thoroughly equ'.p-
•v'j for her vro: k.
M KS. ti'I.E needs no recommendation
ir'-m us. Her work iu ‘.the Music Depart-
nt for several years speaks lor itself.
>' w. we a«k all to work for our school, talk
for it; and patronise it. A live school is th»
life of any place.
To people who are so unfortunately situa-
ted net to be con venienf. to a good school,
wr .-xt'-tid a warm welcome. Here you will
ti'-.ii as -nod people as are in the Slate. Three
churches—Methodist. Baptist and Presbyte
