The “interest” paid to the national bondholders from 1861 to 1891 was over $2,550,000,000! The “premiums” paid to them from 1888 to 1891 was over $50,000,s 000? The ‘principal’of the bonds which has been paid between 1865 and 1891 was over $1,700,000,000! Tbe “debt,” in bonds, in 1866 was $625,000,000, and in 1891 it is less than $600,000,000 although in 1869 it was over $2 300,000,000 and still it will take more cotton, or corn, or hay, or wheat, or ether products of the people to pay the remainder of the bonds than it would to have paid the whole debt in 1869! The people rule in America, and so long as they are content to be robbed, “by due process of law,” the “bond bolder’ ought not to be blamed for enjoying his “paradise,” but still the qustion arises: Why don’t tbe people make the money and “pay” the debi? The nation which can make good bonds, can make better money! Toe nation which can make its “coins” on meteal, can make thorn on paper. ma^e^Tts The nation which can paper money with a ‘promise’ on its “coins’" on metal, can make them on paper. Tbe nation which can make its paper money with a “promise” on its face, can make it without that promise. The nation which can make its “greenbacks’' with an exception on their back,can make them without that exception. The nation which can make its “declaratory” money on medal, can make it on paper. Tbe nation which can pay one of its “coins” into ciiculation, can pay enough of them into circulation to get as well as to Keep the nation out of debt The nation which can’t or wont keep out of debt, has no right to exist. The “loan’ system whether by na¬ tions, means “lenders” and “borro¬ wers” or “lords” and slaves, the final being tbe overthrow of the government which permits such an infamous system of robbory to exist. The pay system by nations, cor¬ porations, and individuals, means freedom from debt; the final result being tbe Millenium of Jesus. The person who can’t think is an idiot. The person who wou’t thing is a fool. The person who fears to think is a coward. The person whodares to talk about evils and suggest remedies is a pa¬ triot. The people whocan’tor won’t con¬ trol their public servanip, onght not to have any. t The impeachment of Andrew Johnin 1867 was carried through congress because he said that five years interest was enoug for tbe bondholders. The Crucifixion of Jesns was de~ in anded by the mob because he wanted a system ot society in w Inch ho person could s'eal and all who would not work should starve but those who could not work should not want. The American people are too busy toiling for their oppressors to stop and free themselves of their own ins famous legislation, but somehow and somewhere a Moses will come who will show the people how to stop making bricks for their bond masteas over in the Bank of England but not yet. They must pass through the Red Sea of bankruptcy before thej T will throw away their false gods. They mnst learn that money is ~ a law. stamped upon some material by some nation. —Workers Herald. Atlanta contributed a cigarette victim to the lunatic asylum last week. The name of the South Georgia Babtist General Association has been changed to South Georgia Con vention. The sensation in Thomas county is the drying up f of Ja monia lake. Fve hundred peo¬ ple visited the place Sunday, and crowds go there daily. On the wide waste of mud count¬ less numpers of turtle, terrapin, fish and eels wriggle, squirm and crawl about in vain search of water. Many of the finest of these have been carried off. Five hundsed turtles were carried away Sunday, and 1500 ten pound trout the day before. Fifty yards away there is a pond covering several acres, with as much water as ever, and here the aligators from the lake have taken refuge. Nesbitt seems to be a trader when it comes to distributing the public pstronage. State treasurer Bob Harde¬ man killed two pigs ®this week just one year old that weighed not 400 pounds each. Col. Bob is not only a wheel horse in a foot race, but he is a full pledg¬ ed alliancemon when it comes so raising pigs. Editor O’Kelley and Franklin C. Davis seem to be into it. All the public wants are facts in the case. We await develop¬ ments. Next year will be one of un¬ usual interest in politics. You should not fail to keep posted. Home of tbe papers are speak¬ ing of Col. "W. L. Peek, of Con yers, m connection with the governorship. And the truth is Peek would make a good one.

Last Monday Henry Reid and Ben Avery, two colored men, become involved in a qurrel near Col. W. L. Peek’s gin house in which Reid was badly cut by Avery. Dr. Guinu was called and dressed the wound and Reid will get. well. An express tran on the East Tennessee road \ was robbed near Rome Wedhesday night by two masked men. They ob¬ tained sixty-five dollars in cash and some jewelry of little value Th$ parties escaped and are still at large, v While Elder Shepard was in Wash ington whooping er up for New Yoik and the convention the text editor of fie Mail and Express insulted him as follows: Be not rash with thy month, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter a word before God, for is in heaven and thou upon earth therefore let thy words be few.

The torturing pains and distres¬ sing nervousness which at company at times certain forms of female weakness, yield like magic to Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.

Calvin would make a good commissioner of Ag¬ riculture. The editors of periodicals at the pres¬ ent time have undoubtedly the disar greeable task of reading much poetry which Is not only “unavailable,” but utterly without merit; still, as the taste of tiie majority of readers in this gen¬ eration is for that which is cheerful in poetry as well as in prose, it is not likely that any editor today would have such a depressing list of rejected contributions as the one printed in a magazine which beam a date over fifty years ago. “My Wife’s Grave,” “Midnight,” “Lament Over the Grave of a Wife,” “The Poet’s I)o6m,” “Reflections,” “On Hearing the Eulogy of a New Friend," “Vengeance," “Let Me Weep,” “Tiie Poetry of Tears” and “Alone.” Such are the titles of these unavailable poems. It appears that the articles accepted were of much the same character, al¬ though they probably displayed marks of genius which induced the afflicted editor to accept them: “Autumn Mus ings,” “The Last Song Bird,” “The Mourner,” “The Bereaved,” “Shadows of the Past,” “Solitude" and “Passing A way. ” If any poems of a more cheerful or¬ der were received, they were certainly not considered worthy of any notice in that number of the magazine.—Youth’s' Companion.
