In the storing the distiller exe¬ cutes a bond, the condition of which, among other things, is for the payment of the tax upon the spirits produced by him, and, when the spirits are placed in the warehouse which he is required to provido, and additional bond, known as a “warehouse bond,” is executed for the payment of the tax upon said spirits. In addi¬ tion to the distillery, premises and apparatus are liable for tax. The government has a first lien upon the spirits themselves for the tax due thereon. /Until this tax is paid the government has the custody of the spirits by its officers in these bonded ware¬ houses, At the expiration of three years or sooner, if the own¬ er desires the possession and use of the spirits the internal revenue tax of 90 cents a gallon must be paid. Very respectfully, •John W. Mason, Commissioner.” AN ATHEISTIC SCHEME. In the last issue of the “Peo¬ ple’s Party Paper” appeared a a communication from M. M. Pomeroy, more generally known as ‘Brick” Pomeroy, which de¬ serves more than a passing notice from every good paper in Geor¬ gia. C. C. Post, the atheistic, anar¬ chist, communistic editor of that paper, and the would-be leader of the People’s Party in Georgia, wrote to Pomeroy, the editor of the “Advance Thought,” an athe¬ istic paper published in New York, for a contribution to the campaign fund of the People’s Party in Georgia. Pomeroy, in his reply, states that lie ig finan¬ cially unable to contribute any¬ thing to said fund, but will allow him, (Post) to receive subscrip¬ tions to his paper, the “Advance Thought,” at a reduced rate, and to appropriate all the money re¬ alized thereby to the campaign fund of the People's Party in Georgia. He further urges all sub-alliances to subscribe at least $2.00 to this fund and receive thvee copies of the atheistic pa per in return. Mr. Post, in com menting on the letter, advises all alliancemen and others who are in sympathy with the People’s Party to forward their subscrip- tions at once. This proposition has a dual meaning. It aims to increase in circulation a paper whose teach¬ ings are entirely agtagonistic to the Christian religion and at the same tine furnish money for the advancement for a political cause which cannot bear the test of the light of truth. It m#aps the ask¬ ing of money at their hands for the purpose of aiding a political movement founded on hatred, passion and prejudice. It means the following of a man who once said in Douglasplle that he would give five dollars to a brass band, but would contribute noth¬ ing to a Sunday-school. It seeks to promulgate a doctrine in Geor¬ gia -which is at present compara¬ tively unknown. This doctrine tells men that religion is a farce, God a myth and eternity a noth¬ ingness. It says tear down our churches and do away with our Sunday-schools, destroy our Bi¬ bles and burn our hymn books. Will our people countenance such teachings? This atheistic scheme origina¬ ted in the fertile brain of one G. C. Post, the man who is said to be the leader of this new light party in Georgia—this party which proposes for the govern¬ ment to own all railroads, pension all Union soldiers more lavishly, to allow women to vote and “kick up jack” generally. But the Madisonian gladly and truthfully states that the followers of this party are growing beautifully fewer as the days go by, and ere the November winds come they will be as scarce as “hen’s teeth.” The Post-Pomeroy atheistic third party scheme will not work in Georgia.—Madisonian. 0 NL Y110 PE OF R ELI OF. A private letter from speake Crisp sa.s: “We realize fully the absolute need of some relief. Our party is p ! edged to repeal the unjust and un equal laws, but of course it cannot d< this until it gets possession of ali the departments of the government When aur people reflect about this and realize the fact that the ICpubli c m pai tv is responsible for the xis thg bad laws it seems to me that they must concede that their only hope of relief is the Democratic parly, and that division amonS themselves can only rasult in keeping the Re¬ publican party in power.

Leather was very early used as a cur rency, the Romans employing it for this purpose before either gold, silver or brass came into common use. His¬ tory is full of references showing that leather was used by the ancients as t (iortof circulating’medium of exchange ft is ■ ;.i good authority that *<■ late as can ir tli« reign of Louis XB of France the country became so \iu poverished, and as a consequence little piece? money was so scarce, that of leather, with a small silver nail driven through each, were in genera! use as money.

Parker, a journalist of lit*, ho, telephones the Review from Orange¬ ville as follows: Thelbert Wall has just arrived here from Elk City with news that Dr. Poyner, of Pomeroy, Wash., has made a fabulous gold strike on the Red river. Ho has a four-foot ledge From absolutely thick all over with gold. all accounts it is a genuine' and wonderful strike. The subject oi fruits is one which de¬ serves more than a pacing notice. Some parents would withhold them al¬ together from their children until after the second year. This is a very good general rule, but it will admit of ex¬ ceptions. It is an undeniable fact that some of them are most wholesome foods, and the earlier children can be accustomed to them the better. Very many even before they are two years old can safely take, and are much ben¬ efited by, tlie juices of sweet, mellow fruit. Children also frequently suffer from habitual constipation, and these juices act far better than medicinal remedies. Notwithstanding all this, the giving of fruits to children before they are two years old should be very guarded, and limited to the juices of those which are positively fresh, known also to be easily disposed of in the system and not likely Ko cause diarrhea. As a child approaches its third year, its iil lowarico of fresh fruits may be more generous, due care being invariably nsed in their selection; still, modera¬ tion should be the rule, for intemper¬ ate indulgence in oven tho most digest able fruits is quite sure to be followed by unpleasant, if not serious conse¬ quences. Those fruits which are very acid, and: require much sugar to make them pal¬ should be withheld. Oranges, and peaches, if perfectly ripe and sound, may be occasionally allow¬ ed, unless, of course, there is an irrita jility of the stomach and bowels. Pears r.re less digestible than t hese, but if thoroughly ripe can do no harm if not toe freely indulged in. — Host-Herald. -mar ’ Cl C' £tl Kill O':.- ' OPVE3 ENJOYS Both the method and results when , rup of Figs is taken; it is pleasant . refreshing to the taste, find acts -;ly yet promptly on the Kidneys, : . or and Bowels, cleanses the sys n effectually, tHsp/Y* c.. is, head : 33 aiid fevers and cures habitual onstipation.
