'he Popular Gold Loam.
We have called attention to
[the [practiced subterfurge that was being
by the leading banks
[of New York in the matter of
biddiug for the bonds under the
alleged popular loan idea. We
have shown that they are accu¬
mulating coin notes aud green¬
backs with which to get out of
the Treasury the very gold they
proposed to pay into it. But it
remained for Mr. W. E- Curtis
to declare in the Chicago Re¬
cord that the banks were sub
scribing for buncombe amounts
they could under no circum¬
stances take up He says ;
“A New Y'ork paper (The
World) reports it has received
subscriptions to the new 4 per
cent, loan amounting to $16,
036,000, and the paper gives the
narae of the banks sending in
these subscriptions. A gentle
man in the Treasury has taken
pains to compare this list with
the reports from the various
national banks named made in
December, and finds that they
have only about one-fourth of
the gold necessary to meet their
subscriptions, and that if they ,7
paid , •, them ,, . lump , the , avaiable .
in Y.
cash of . some 1or 1,200 ’ banks , would , ,
, be leduced , to than . $o,Q00
less (
’
aaa wO. In j fact, r , banks i , . tinrteeu .
m
oi the estates have suosenbed ,
for $2,192,000 more bonds than
they have money to pay for,
and in many instances the sub¬
scriptions are two, three and
even four times larger than the
available cash reported to the
Competroller of currency.”
Add this disclosure to the
failure to unearth all that gold
that is alleged to be hid away
by individuals, and we see liow
empty is all this talk about $550.
000,000 of gold in the country. ■

Rapid Growth,
Some figures recently given
out by Col. George Moorman,
of New Orleans, adjutant-gen¬
eral of the United Confederate
Veteran Association, show the
rapid growth of that organiza¬
tion. In the latter part of 1891
there were bui 23 camps and
the outlook for general enroll¬
ment was gloomy. Six months
ofter, at the New Orleans reun¬
ion, Geu. Moorman astonished
the oki veterans by reporting
172 camps - At the Birming¬
ham reunion the gratifying re¬
port of 520 camps was made,
and one year later’ at the Hous¬
ton reunion , Gen. Moorman re
potted 660 camps. He has now
737 camps upon the rolls, has
upon tile appications for 200 in
addition, aud is confident
the figures will reach 1,000
fore tlm assembling of the
e raus in Richmond in June
next.—Ex.

Moon Oe A Tear.
What was the matter
the moon yesterday morning?
Dozens of early risers and late
retirers are asking the question
all seriousness- They say tbit
( j 10 iacon presented a remarka
ble soeetaclo about 4:30 o’clock
y cgte rday morning Dozens of
re liable wit nesses have spoken
about the strange phenomenon.
“The moon was red as a
of fire,” said one gentleman j
“its redness, however,
more the tint of blood than
fire. When I saw it, it was
just above the horizon and
seemed further to the right than
it should have been. 1
never seen the moon such a
color before. It was terrifying
and I did not know what to
make of it. While I was won¬
dering at it, the moon went
down.”
The strange sight attached
not a little comment. Nearly
all the printers in The Chronicle
office observed it.—Augusta

It should always be borne in
mind that the silver men are
nut asking anything new, nor
advocating the silver standard.
They are simply asking that the
policy that was obsemd
before 1873 be followed, and
that both silver and gold be
c-oincd as was the uniform
practice before

Says tLe Georgia Cracker
very truthfully, The man
with a standing
is the backbone of the new
per and ihe solid man of the
community. In the summer
winter, in sunshine or rain, Lis
name greets the public eye
w pjj every issue of the paper,
and people come in time to re¬
gard him as well established in
a successful business, whether
they have been patrons or not. j
’Nothing succeeds like success,
and the public once getting the
idea that a man is doing well,
stands ready to patronize him;
and turn to 1dm naturlly if they j
want anything in his line.
this simple fact lies the wnole
secret of the success of
eut advertising”.
