Saturday, May II, 1895. EDITORIAL OPINIONS. The paying of cash for guano indicates that there is some mon¬ ey yet in the country, and makes a good showing for easier times next fall. There is still hope for the ed¬ itors of this country. Mr. Stone of the New York Commercial made $450,000 out of his news¬ paper before his death. With perspiration trickling, and drawn contenance, the Ban ner reluctantly dances to the music of the “hand organ,” ao skillfully handled. Augusta Chronicle says it is all folly saying a man would refuse the nomination for president. Any man would walk iu his bare feet to the convention iu or¬ der to get the nomination. Monday’s Constitution has a good article on the use of opium. There is an effort being made now by those countries which sell thestuff to convince the pub¬ lic that instead of an injury it is a benefit to the system. The ladies of Madison got out a very handsome issue of the Advertiser. It reflects great cred¬ it upon them. It contained ad¬ vertisements from different sec¬ tions of the State besides being liberally patronized by the bus¬ iness men of Madison; no doubt it was as successful financially as it otherwise was. “Aw Ma, I s bv\ uliered er bug !” "Er bug, nigger? Whut mus’ 1 do ! ’Wbar’s yer pa? Jake, cum ’ere, Tildie’s ewallered er hug !’ “UghI Whut kiu’ er bug is it?” “Goldbug 1 do b’lieve 1” “Well, hits no use ter do nufiog, fer yet jes’ can’t move hit 1” How Democratic gold-stand¬ ard papers can charge Demo¬ cratic silver coinage papers with being Populists because they are for free silver which was iu the Populist platform, while these same gold papers advocated the income tax which was also in the Topulist platform, we leave for them to reflect upon. Such stuff is puerile.- Augusta Chron¬ icle. Our neighbors of the Banner have “let the cat out of the wal¬ let,” ‘'the milk out of the cocoa nut”—all that worries them, they have not the county adver¬ tising. There is nothing in their la6t issue for us to shoot at, so we will not lire in the air. The gentlemen who are personated are amply able to take care of themselves, and if they see any thing worth their attention they can have the use of our columns. We have a soft place in our heart for those in distress. w e yield to the pitiful wail coming up to us yesterday desisting from further comment, Theii liouest confession will be good for their souls.

SILVER AND GOLD. We have given heretofoie more than a passing upon the great subject which now is agitating the minds of both great and small of i he entire country. As to whefch er the gold or the silver will re¬ sult to the best interests of the masses w e are not able to sav ; neither do we believe that any other being can tell. Yet in the face of all the arguments pro and con we are constrained to say from honest convictions that mo uometalism is not the thing de sired, whether it be silver or The coinage of both gold and sil ver on a parity seems to us to be the proper, just and wise thing to do. If the extreme silverites want the free coinage of silver alone, we do not endorse it. If the goldhugs mean by “sound money’’gold as the standard and gold alone, we do not accept it. It is well enough to have gold to do the business with foreign na¬ tions,and silver for our own uses at home. And yet there is no necessity for the white metal to he depreciated, nor the yellow appreciated. Gold and sil ver as the standard money for the Uni¬ ted Wtates would do the business of our country, and be sufficient¬ ly valuable to satisfy all de¬ mands from our brethren across the waters. A paper currency redeemable in gold and silver—coin—would he most convenient for general circulation. Still it is important that the value of these metals be settled--the one on a paiity with the other, before any currency hills could be issued. If the free coinage of silver means bimetalism—silver on a parity with gold—then we are for free silver. If Mr. Cleve¬ land’s platform is for the gold standard, as the only money, to the depreciation of silver, we are not on that line. DR. J. H. SIMS Of Columbus, Ga., is visiting for a few days Ins relatives in ihe city. Dr. Sims is a iiue phy¬ sician, having practiced medi¬ cine for a number of years. He is a gentleman of fine physique, endowed with qualities and at¬ tainments which place him in prominence as a successful prac¬ titioner in his noble profession. He graduated with high honors, and has since that time taken post graduate courses iu New York ; he has had extensive ex¬ perience in the large hospitals of that city, and leaves today for the great metropolis for the purpose of revisiting the hospi¬ tals, and to fit himself for great¬ er achievements in the medical world. He will go from there to Denver, Colorado, where he will locate. He has enjoyed a large and lucrative practice both in medicine and surgery,and is rec¬ ognized in the State as brainy and progressive, We recom mend him to the citizens wher evei his lot may he cast; a gen¬ tleman socially, and worthy of their esteem and patronage. His friends with whom he has been associated in different portions of Georgia, his native State, gret to see him leave, but trust that in his new home he will have that happiness and suc¬ cess which lie richly merits. BIG ITEMS IN SMALL TYFE. The school children and others had » pleasant picnic at the paper mills on yesterday. The little hoy of Walter Weaver near Llthonia had one eye shot ont with a sling shot in hands of nnother hoy. This is the result of handling dangerous playthings. Coiie Warren, one of the foremost bus¬ iness men of i.itiu uia, was in the city Wednesday last. Our artist gives us the c c ne of the defeated school bonds. How sad It will he to «ee the children crying over their misfortune’. We hope that no such c* taetropbe sail ms rKc artist predicts will be i the bon It. GEORGIA AND OTHER ITEMS, the spiciest of the spicy geobgia news, ami items of INTER est from other states. j A man lias committed suicide after reading “Trilby.” The recent rise in price of oil was a scheme of the speculators.

Bhe lives in San Francisco. Her “bike’ weighs only 12 pounds. On Saturday, the 4th, three powder mills in Massachusetts were blown up. The buildings were reduced to splinters, and three men were killed. It is again stated that Queen Victoria, who is now 7G years old and in feeble health, will ab¬ dicate the throne of England on the 24th of this mouth. | The Texas treasury is empty ; I the State insolvent, according : the announcement of the to State treasurer. Extra appro¬ priations by the legislature is the cause. Last Saturday a most terrific cyclone swept over portions of Iowa and Missouri. Several vil- 100 to 250 persons. Dr. Swain killed his wife’s lov¬ er down in Louisiana the other day. He found her in a room with Dr. Iliriat. The two doc¬ tors fought a regular duel, but Dr. Swain “ as not hurt. W. W m Guess, of Brooks coun¬ ty, committed suicide last Sat¬ urday by shooting himself with a Winchester rifle. He was ac¬ cused by his wife ol criminal in¬ timacy \iith their oldest daugh¬ ter. A most horrible charge ! Germany has the greatest number of telephones.

Floyd county, which has been making exhibits at the different fairs for several years and car¬ rying off handsome premiums, will enter again for the prize at tho Cotton States Exposition in Atlanta next fall. A terrible cloud burst passed over Chattanooga and vicinity of four miles wide last Monday'.

How manv will f rotu (Jonyers we have not learned, but as some are going from every section we Ihink Conyers will be represented. The Chicago Post through Mr. Chapman of the Ram’s Horn gives the relative cost of eonver sions in the vaiious denomina tions in t* at city. It costs the Baptists $285 each conversion; the Methodist $384; the Pres byterians $533, and the Congre gationalists $580. Major Campbell W allace, one of Georgia’s most- prominent men, die$ at his home in Atlau ta, and was buried in Oakland cemetery last Monday. He was a fine business man, and a gen¬ tleman of noble traits of char¬ acter. He did his State valua¬ ble service in various ways dur¬ ing a long . nd useful life. The Supreme court of Louisi ana has rendered a decision which cuts off prize fighting in that State. Boxing with gloves by parties who have made no previous engagement, who have had no training nor purse up is allowed under the law ; but fight ing after the style of the profes¬ sional pugilists cannot be. This cuts off the Fitzsiinmons-Corbett engagement in the U. S. so far as is now known. , , , . past week has, as a whole, been very favorable for the Georgia planter and bis crops. Except a few complaints of the ravages of cut and hud worms and blight in pears, reports from different parts of the State indicate a gen¬ erally satisfied feeling on the part of all farmers. In the most southerly counties cotton is well advanced and chopping is in progress, hut further to the north the entire crop has not yet been planted. Corn will, no doubt, again be a large crop for the State.—Ga. Weather Bulle tin A LINE Which ad merchants should carry is a. line in TIIL WKEKL Y.
