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, BosTON', Mass., lias dfgahized a tar iff reform club, *omposed of the lead ing business men and manufacturers of that city. It looks as if the tariff re formers are bent on carrying the war into Israel. 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.” Special Order.

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.
