THE BIGGEST NIGHT EVEH KNOWN IN THE HISTORY OF MA CON. Ablate WHh Light, Wild With Enlhiulaim, Al:ve With Pecple, and IN an Up- roar.- Speeches by DlAtln- suished Men. Macon vu one big erasy-quilt l«t ni*ht. K very breatbini aoul in the town able to tod* die we* out, and every breathing »oul was h urrnhlng for Clereland. The eje that sweeps over the motley crowd that filla the clrcua tent never saw a greater variety of people than those who lined the long, luminoua streets, or Joined in the long* stretching fproceaalon lost night. They came •from everywhere—from the suburb*, from East Macon, from Vlaeville, from Amcri* cus, Geneva, Camak, Brunswick, and from everywhere. The railroads brought in hundreds and hundreds, while maiy come In wagons and on foot, was a big crowd. It was a joyous jubilee of people Jammed up In a big, good-humored crowd, and every soul oi them lust sight of everything but the fact that they were let loose upon the town to make noise and cut up didos. The man who perched upon a corner and looked down upon the (laming, noisy, luminous crowd passing below him, »sw a panorama he will scarcely ever see again. Thousands of heads, some boyish and many long since whitened, bobbed np an 1 down, not serenely, becante nothing screno could come out of such a night and such and occasion. The boy and the man were shoulder to shoulder swinging the im >ky torches and flambeaus or straggling under tbe load of a heavy transparency. There were people of all e*oes, all aget* grades and religions, but they were all of one poiltlca caste. The minister, the merchant, then the banker and tbe broker, the butcher, the baker ami the candlestick maker, the mechanic and the capital lot—4 verybody was out. Taking the monument as the centre, down Second to Cherry, down Mulberry to Fourth, and up Cotton Avenue to Cherry, filled and packed like sardines were the people. The ladies were out In large round number*, and they cared not for the dan .or of falling rocket sticks, the Jostling of the crowd or the babel of yells that went up continually from thousands of throats. Anx ious mothers forgot in their enthusiasm to lock tho back gate, and the small boy slipped out and filled up the crevices in the crowd. He was delighted, enthused, wild. Til* PEOPLX OATHERINO. Long before 7 o’clock the town was red and white with light. Aa if by magic, the tall,state* ly buildings always so dark and still at night blazed up in one great glorloua light and the circus began.

They were beingdrlvea by the Solid South np the road leading to the Wnlte House, which was <n the distance. On the other side was a figure representing the Goddess of Liberty pointing to the rising suu and above were the words “The Smith has turned ner face towards the morning.” On one end was a fine, rooster label}© 1 “Democratic.” and on the other end a sick chicken labeled ••Republican.

The two pieces of artillery were stationed behind the man on the monu ment and with muzzle* turned toward the river began to bombard the town with blank cartridge.

Planters Borrowing Money. \ FA Hot t Telegraph and Messenger: Very recently attention has been called in the columns of yoa? paper to the alleged evil being done by the agencies of Northern capitalists which make a business of lend ing money upon farm property in Georgia. By dealing with these people, we are led to believe tlfht our simple-minded farmers are laying np for themselves wrath against the day of wrath. So great Is the danger apprehended, that one writer has even invoked legislative action in the matter.

It seema to me that wben a min wants money he is more concerned about tbe terms upon which he can get it than he la about the rea'deoce of tbe lender. Ifourfarmewau rushing to these foreign agencies for pecu niary help, it most be because they think these agencies offer some advantages—it cannot be from any mere prejudice against home institutions. Nor can it bo due entirely to ignorance; for men who are In a situation fo mortgage lands arc generally men who have some capacity to judge for themselves. As 1 understand it. chartered banks in Georgia will not advance a dollar on real estate on account of onr absurd, antiquat ed, and worse than tuela e usury laws. The necessity for some arrangement or comr»^?“ fa y which farm lands couH be used as a baaia oi predltwaa so grett and so apparent that tho JgC-C’t? above referred to were established. These agen cies merely negotiate loans for non-resi dent capitalists-they (the-agencies) rep resenting both the lender ana the borrow er in the transaction. The capitalist re ceives only 8 per cent on his loan, bnt the borrower, in addition to his 8 per cent., pays commissions, which makes the money cost him abont 12 per cent per i nnm. Through the operation of th' money-lending agencies, hundreds of farms all over the State, which were lying idle for lack of meant to (qaip and pnt them in repair, have been redeem comparative worthlessness. Now wherein I ask lies the evil of these loan agencies? It la true that they lend money on terms which in effect amount to usury. But so docs every bank in tbe State. So do all tbe building and loan as sociation! of the State. And it seems that these “foriegn capitalists,” as they are"' called, can receive back only Ihe money ' which they loan, together, with tho regu lar legal rate of interest, the benefit or whatever usury there ia in the transaction remains in the State and is enjoyed by onr own people. This attempt to excite local prejudice against a business Inslitntion merely because it represents non resident c.pitalista is rather behind tbe spirit of tbe age. f f any of these loan agences are guilty of unfair dealing. let that be mad the ground of attack. Whether they are domestic or foreign institutions ie a cir cumstance entirely irrelevant to the qneation. The Impression 1j Bough*, to be made bat the consequences of a failure to pay tlieie non-resident money-lenders are un usual, extraordinary and far more terri ble than tbe conteqaenccs of a failure to pay money borrowed at home. This is not asserted in so many words; hot vogue images of horror are .conjured np be fore the mind by the nse of words and phrase, calculated to oduce that effect. Now ns ■ understand It, if the borrower faila to make payment according to tbe terma of bie contract, the land mortgaged by him ie Mid and the proceed! applied to the pay ment of tbe debt, the enrplns, if any; be ing turned over to the debtor. There is certainly nothing nntuual abont this. It ia precisely what universally and invaria bly takes place when any kind of property la pledged for the payment of any sort of < ebt. Mortgages are every day maturing all over the coantry, and the mortagors • re either making payment or rnbmitiiug to the consequences of foreclosure. Onr farmers who patronise these loan agencies have a very simple and obvious means of escape from the "wholesale eviction” which one writer foresees awaiting them. By paying tbe loan they effectually avoid the eviction. These hetutless capitalists cannot demand more than their own. to- K ther with legal interest. And tho rmer con'd not reasonably ask to get off with lew. Tite day ot settlement does not come upon tbe farmer stealthily Uke a thief in the night. Oh the contrary In the very act of obtaining the loan he baa fuii notice of the time of payment and of all the consequences of non-payment. If he Is nntorlanalely dlspoaiwaed of his trap- erly, it is a hardship in no sense peculiar to loans obtained from foreign sources, and must be attributed either to the neces sity which forced him to borrow at all, or to the circumstances which prevented bis making payment. In conclusion, I remark that from all I have learned on the subject, I am confi dent theee loan agencies are doings vast amount of good fn Georgia, as they have already done in Ohio, Indiana, fowaand other Western States, where the same system of Joans lias been in onerattop. >hsy charge no higher rate of iatereat titan other money lenders do upon the same clave of loans. The pains and pens ties that follow default of payment are Just the same that always follow the fslinre to pay any debt secured by property of the debtor. Since the establishment of these agencies farmers, whom the banks would not accommodate upon any term,, have been able to obtain loans without which their farms were almost a burden to them. Lastly, the establishment of these Joan agencies may lead to a compeUtion among money lenders which wUI be of infinite atf vantage to tbe money borrowing class. W. G. Smith.
