Parrott, BROWN & PARROTT, Editors and Purlisiibrr. 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 : “The Education of the Public on Hy gienic and Sanitary Subjects”—Dr. C. A. Dexter. “A Plea for the Use of Officinal Rem edies”—Dr. It. D. Lee. "The Institutional Treatment of Tu berculosis”—Dr. J. M. Anderson. "Treatment of Acute Rheumatism” -Dr. Wm. R. McCall. “Acute Catarrhal Bronchitis”—Dr. A. A. Barge. "The Treatment of Pneumonia”— Dr. Neal Kitchens. “Hook Worm”—Dr. J. L. Barge. "The Importance of Active County and City Boards of Health”—Dr. Hen ry W. Terrell. “Rhinitis” - Dr. Gordon F, Cham bers. 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 cook, supplemented by a dessert of ice cream and cake. This affair was pure ly informal, and the enjoyment was wholly unrestrained. Before adjournment new officers Democr»tlo nomination, and respactfullr oak the ■upport of the white votera of the county.

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.
