RELATION OF GOLD-PRODUC
TION TO HIGH PRICES.
At the recent annual meeting of the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science, Mr. Bryon W. Holt, a
well-known Wall Street economist,
pointed out that from 1850 to 1856 the
world’s visible supply of gold increased
from about $1,606,400,000 to $2,109,640,
000, or31percent., while average prices
rose about 27 per cent, in this country,
From 1870 to 1890 the supply of gold
rose less than an average of 1J per
cent., and prices declined 22 per cent,
Since 1896 the world’s supply of gold
has increased from $4,359,609,000 to
$7,500,000,000, or 72 per cent. And
during this same period prices have
risen about 60 per cent, in this country
and 40 per cent, in England.
Commenting on the figures furnished
by Mr. Holt, the Christian Herald sayB
it "is a self-evident truth that the
greater the supply of any given sub
stance in the world the cheaper must it
inevitably become, and this is as true
of gold as it is of any other commodity,
only, inasmuch as gold is the unit of
monetary value, we notice the effect of
the condition in the decreasing pur
chasing power of each dollar. In effect,
it is not that the necessities of life have
become any more valuable, (we pro
duce and eat nronortionatelv the same were choBen aa follows: Dr. Neal
ciuce ana eat proportionately the same KitchenS( Columbus, president; Dr. T.
B. Davis, Newnan, vice-president; Dr.
amount of food, buy and wear the
same amount of clothes,) but gold has
been cheapened, so that its old-time
■popular unit of value, one dollar, will
not purchase nearly as much of these
necessities as it would formerly. If it
wore possible to increase the unit of
value—in other words, to issuo a gold
■dollar the weight of which would bear
a definite relation to the amount of gold
in the world—the effect might be to
bring about an equilibrium that would
result in a steadying of the general price
movement. But there are difficulties
in the way of this that make it improb
able of realization,
According to a Wall Street view, the
gradual depreciation of gold will result
in a certain increase in the interest
rate, because as prices rise there occur
pnusuul opportunities for the invest
ment of money. This has already be
gun to affect the bond market in a po-
*- wilier manner. One of the biggest bond
housos in New York hns lately been do
ing a largo business in relieving its
■ clients of their long-term bonds, gilt-
edged securities that have fifty or more
years to run and yielding very small in
terest, and procuring for them instead
municipal, irrigation, mortgage, or oth-
■ er short-term bonds yielding lat-ger
rates of interest.
This is one of the most significant
features of the situation. Not so many
years ago the wise investor sought out
the long-term railroad and other bonds,
—securities with a century, if possible,
to run, absolutely safe as far as the
underlying mortgage was concerned,
and for that very reason yielding very
■small interest. But nowudays necessity
for earning more money, due to the in
creasing cost of living, is compelling
these investors to take up the shorter
term bonds, yiolding a rate of interest
more in keeping with the inflation of
prices for all commodities.
According to late figures regarding
■Georgia's cotton mills, there are in the
State one hundred and thirty-nine
mills, capitalized at $32,259,850, and
equipped with 2,040,918 spindles and
40,675 looms. Classified according to
the character of their work, there are
eighty-two spinning and weaving mills,
fifty-four yarn mills, two weaving mills,
and one batting or wastemill. Inasmuch
as there are in the entire South seven
hundred and sixty-five mills, with a spin-
dleage of 11,709,776 and looms to the
number of 247,388, the position of Geor
gia in the industrial world is no insig
nificant one.
Fourth District Medical Society.
The semi-annual meeting of the
Fourth District Medical Society, held in
Newnan on Tuesday last, brought to
gether twoscore or more of the leading
physicians of the ten counties compos
ing the Fourth Congressional district,
and the session proved both a pleasant
and profitable one. The meeting was
held in the court-house, and was called
to order by Dr. M. M. Hallum, of Car
rollton, president. After an invocation
by Rev. J. F. Singleton, of this city,
the minutes of the previous meeting
were read and confirmed. Dr. T. B.
Davis, president of the Coweta Medi
cal Association, then delivered an ad
dress cordially welcoming the visiting
members of the district body to the
hospitality of the city. A fitting re
sponse to the address of welcome was
made by Dr. J. M. Anderson, of Pine-
dale, on behalf of the society, after
which the regular order of business was
taken up.
Interesting papers were read at the
morning andfafternoon sessions as fol
lows :

At the noon hour the entire body ad
journed to the Coweta Cafe, where
both visitors and local members enjoyed
a delightful repast of oysters and birds
prepared by Jim Reid, the veteran

cream and cake. This affair was pure
ly informal, and the enjoyment was
wholly unrestrained.

According to the reports being com
piled in the office of Stute School Com
missioner Pound, from information sent
in by County School Commissioners of
the 146 counties of the State, it is es
timated that fully $2,000,000 will bo
ci edited to the cause of education in
Georgia over and above the annual ap
propriation of $2,250,000. This money
comes from incidental fees, tuition, be
quests, local taxation, municipal aid,
and various other sources.
Judge Gus Fite, of Bartow, says he
is not a candidate for the office of Gov
ernor, but that if the people wish to
run him and will assume the expense of
the campaign, they are at liberty to
do so. In these circumstances, and upon
the conditions named, it is safe to say
that Judge Fite will not be in the race.
