f C/The South is being flooded with money,

i d clouds and see the bright sunshine of relief awaiting us.
Our people have worked, they have economized and

There are good signs everywhere, but the best sign of
restoration of confidence is in the reduction of the premium on
currency in New York. It has declined now to as low as 1
per cent and the speculation in currency is about over. Confi¬
dence has been restored in Europe and large quantities of gold
continue to come to New York. The banks are beginning to
loosen their purse strings and there is every indication of better

The conditions at home are exceedingly and ill
have more money than they had this time last year, vx
handle the cotton crop without any trouble. Cotton will come
in very soon and the money will begin to get into circulation.
When the money starts, one dollar will pay many dollars of
debt, and that will make people easier. The farmers will have
money over, for they have never been so free from debt. We
have had no failures, no pestilence, no storms, and the people
will come out of this thing better than they went into it.
Other financiers at home and abroad speak in the same checi
ful strain—all of which goes to prove that the storm has passed.
It will be good news to our farmers to know that we have
made arrangements for all the money necessery to pay for the
cotton ! to know that we have made arrangements to pay just
as much for cotton as the Atlanta buyer can possibly pay.
Grading is always higher and, therefore, you can get more
money for your cotton in Conyers, than you can at any olnei
town in this section. Bring your cotton here and save from 1

TO THE PUBLIC.
I 11 consequence of the death of our friend and fellow-citizen,
Mr, D, W. Murdock, it becomes necessary for some one to be
elected to tlie place of Tax Collector which he so ably filled.
Being conversant with Mr. Murdock’s affairs and the con
dition of his worldly estate, after advisement, and with a pure,
motive to do fall justice to the memory of the deceased and his
most worthy widow, I have this proposition to submit to the
public '. real
TYs is generally known,Mr, Murdock died possessed of
ly nothing, and his outstanding debts, contracted during the
year on the strength of liis office, are unpaid. To these have
been added burial and funeral expenses, His friends in the
city and county have stood to him with fidelity and devotion,
and it is my purpose to give Mrs. Murdock, the widow of the
deceased Tax Collector of Rockdale county, half of the pro¬
ceeds of the office for the unexpired term, WHICH WILL
AMOUNT TO $200 A YEAR FOR HER, OR $-100 FOIt HER,
FOR THE TWO YEARS. Bo far Mr. Murdock
has only served about 7 i/aonths of the time, but really his liooxs
not even received to date upon which to make out the tax.

Believing this proposition will mete out the honor due to the
memory of the noble hearted dead, aud at the
same time contribute substantially to the help of Ins broken
hearted and afflicted widow, I beg to subscribe myself.

1-ifts an Elephant With Tils Teeth.
Milo, the famous athlete of ancient
Greece, the man who was victor at both
the Olympic and Pythian games for six
different times in. succession, and whose
chief claim to fame rests upon the feat
of running four miles with a 3-ycar-olu
ox upon Iris shoulders, would hide his
head with shame could lie visit London
and witness the wonderful feats per¬
formed by Sullivan, the modern Samson.
Sullivan is only 31 years of ago * and
weighs but 168 pounds, yet he is a phve
ical giant without an equal in the known
world. He regularly goes through a
routine of feats illustrative of his won
dtrful strength, the most remarkable bo
ing the actual lifting of an elephant with
bis teeth.
•The elephant is not a Jumbo, to bo
sure; neither is ho small, especially when
you come to consider tho nizo of the man
who does tho lifting and the usual di
mansions .and strength of human teeth,
The elephant daily and nightly swung
liko a pendulum from Mr. Sullivan's teeth
ls known as “the infant” and
tween 1,800 and 2,000 pounds. This ro :
markable strong man is probably
only one in the world who lifts more thaq
1,000 pounds with the teeth alone. An

Tho capacity for large belief does not
though to each nothing is no absurd
the credulity of the ithety f'fl.e Society
of Psychical Research had a reunion at
Columbia college tho other even in??,
when they listened to an address on
“Crystal Vision” by Dr. Richard Hodg¬
son, based on a paper of another psych¬
ical researcher. Crystal pf c$ti|ing vision, it sub¬ ap¬
pears, is a method ; the
liminal cofispiousnes^ to %o to.,work.
This may not appear clear. But accord; ,
ing to these igentleinen. there are little
scullery uiiiids in the brain that are never
permitted to show themselves up stairs,
but can do a lot of work, if, put to it,
chiefly in tho way of hunting up lost nr
tides in the brain. Crystal vision, it
geeras. is one of tho methods employed.
This is borrowed from the black art.
but according to the psychical research
er is now entirely domesticated and per
fcetly trustworthy. The method is to
hold a crystal in the palm of the hand,
such as the professional hypnotist era
ploys, and gaze on it steadily, when some
messenger of the brain will run t<> do
your bidding. Dr. Hodgson told of a
woman who, whenever she desired to re
call anything sho had forgotten, could
have it brought her by looking steadily
in a glass of water. At such times she
would also-utter words and tell truths
which She would utter consciously. It
has not heretofore been water that was
believed to promote truth telling and ox
cite strange utterances.
This same v.’ovnau, according to Dr.
Hodgson, not only by gazing into pol
ished surfaces could have brought her
forgotten things, but her messenger
would run into other people’s brains aud
fetch her things that did not belong to
her. Thus a friend was writing an arti
cle, and setting herself to gaze ju a erys
tal one of these undersprites rummaged
her friend’s brain aud gave it away. The
propriety of this sort of burglarious en
ferprise is a question. Is the Society ot
Psychical Research developing merely
new opportunities for crime?
Imagine a man who has laboriously
worked out a poem in his brain having
it rifled without any means of detecting
the thief. Fancy a person at dinner
gazing intently in his tumbler of watei
and appropriating therewith his neigh
bors’ anecdotes and smart sayings,
What kind of defenses can people put
up against this sort of mental theft:
fjnless the Society of Psychical Re
search pursue the matter far enough t<
show the subliminal consciousness ho"
also to stand sentry and guard the out
posts of the brain, social intercourse
would soon become impossible.—-New

BaUrU For Cattish ai.U Caught an Out.
A man of unquestioned veracity
vouches for tho truth of this fish story:
His friend, who lives a few miles in the
country, net a line for catfish one.day.
111 tho morning when ho went after the
fish he found them in abundance, and
on one line he found a large owl that
must have been a terror to birds and
fishes when alive. Tho line urns wound
around the body and the neck of the
uwi,' and tho fish boro marks of thoovvl’s
talons, showing that the owl had caught
the fish after the hoolc had caught it,
and in its efforts to fly away with tfio
fish it had been ensnared by the line,
after which tho fish had its inning by
drowning the owl.
At any rate tho owl was dead, and tho
fish, though disfigured, was still in the
swim and playing tho lino with a vigor
that caused tho line to bob up and down
with the irregularity of the cotton mar¬
ket. The drowned owl is on exhibition
as a witness to the truth of the stor ,r ,
and tiie fish, though the finest of the
catch, escaped the frying pan, and now
has a steady job as an owl catcher. The
fisher sot him for owls.—Valdosta Cor.
