SaturJ) \y, Junk 20, I HOT WHAT JSTHE STANDARD? The Covington Star gets elo¬ quent discussing the silver ques¬ tion, clamoring for both gold and silver, state banjos, etc. The Georgia Enterprise is deliberate in opposing free coinage, and wants bimetalism. We took the position from the start that ac¬ cording to the arguments of both sides throughout the countr) there is no difference,unless one or the other is purposely decep¬ tive. It appears that when the) speak out in school everyhod) wants both gold and silver. As to the 1G to l,the weights of the metals show that we have that now, and the figures ot the mon¬ ey in circulation in the woild, and in the U. S. tieasury show i l all countries where there it gold silver abounds. Then it can not he that the gold men want to vuh out silver, or the sijvei men want to destroy gold, un¬ less it he true that the knowing ones me insincere in the posi tii.ns they take and the aigu - meets used. The troubles in this country do hot come from a defect in the monelaiy system so much as from years of extravagance and a wild policy on part of pioduc ers, coupled with reckless spec¬ ulations, the cornering of the necessities of life l>v the soulless millionaires, who liavo made fortunes in a day, squeezing out the life blood of I lie poor by d« grees until it has leached an alarming point, in the history o! the country The remedy has already been applied, and is working wonders in Hie uiver i fled agriculture, and economic administiatJon in the home cii cles of the masses.

Already we can imagine the gold and silver hells hanging from the harness of the Itorses and moles ae they pul! into market t he wagons heavily laden with the fleecy staple, ringing in joyous salutations, •'Peace on earth” once more,and ••good will” to the poor people in this country. The “fear and trembling” part having passed, the wool hat boys at home are working out their i a va’ion with joyful hearts, anticipating prize which awaits them.

Lillie and her cousin, Laura Moore, went visiting, and passed Keener's house, lie followed on and way¬ laid the girls, jumped out and shot both of them. Pie says he killed Laura by accident.
