2 TEN KINDS OF MONEY. HANDY FACTS ABO IT Cl RH'BSC'Y IN TIIBASIRY PAMPIILRT Billions Coined or Made—Coins* That! Have Psaseii Out of l'e nnl Coins* That Are Still neini* Turned Out of the Mint. Prom the Baltimore San. Washington, Aug. 9.—ln a pamphlet Is sued by the Treasury Department to-day, prepared by A. T. Huntington, chief of the division of loans and currency, some interesting* Information is given in regard to the bonds and currency of the coun try. Mr. Huntington says in regard to the standard of value: “In the provid4ng for the coinage of the precious metals Congress established, by the act of April 2. 1792, the standard of value, consisting of certain gold and sil ver coins, at a ratio of 15 to I—-that is to say, the value of an ounce of fine gold was in effect declared to be equal to the value of fifteen ounces of tine silver. Both gold and silver coins were declared to be standards. “The ratio of 15 to 1 was adopted in pursance of investigations conducted by Alexander Hamilton. Secretary of the Treasury, who, in his report upon the sub ject, said that 15 to 1 wus u near approxi mation to the commercial value of the two metals. It was soon discovered, how ever. that gold at the ratio of 15 (o 1 was undervalued, and silver became practical ly the only metallic money available for use in the United States. In 1834 the ratio was changed to 16.002 to 1. and in 1837 it jvas changed to 15.988 to 1. That is the present ratio and is commonly called 16 to 1. Bv this change silver was un dervalued and gold came into list in its place. “By the act of Feb. 12. 1873. the coinage of the standard silver dollar was discon tinued and the gold dollar of 25.S grains of standard gold. 900 fine, was declared to be the unit of value. The subsequent res toration of the coinage of silver dollars under the act of Feb. 2S, 1878. was on gov ernment aecouqt and did not restore the silver dollar to its former place as a standard of value. “But while Congress provided for the so-called double or bimetallic standard, such double standard has never been ef fective in this country. From 1792 to 1834 silver was the metal by which all values were measured and since 1834 gold has been, and still is, the sole actual standard. There are ten different kinds of money in circulation in the United Stares, name ly: Gold coin, standard silver dollars, sub sidiary silver, gold certificates, silver cer tificates. treasury notes issued under the act of July 14. 1890. United State- notes (also called greenback® and legal ten ders), national hank notes ahd nickel and bronze Toir- These forms of mon* y are oil available as circulation. While they do not all possess the full legal tender quality, each kind has such attributes as to give it currency. Tl|* status of each kind is as follows: “Gold coin is legal tender at its nominal or face value for debts, public or private, when not below the standard weight and l limit of tolerance prescribed by law. and when below such standard and limit of tolerance it is legal tender in proportion to its weight. “Standard silver dollars gre legal ten der at their nominal or face value in pay ment of *all debts, public and private, without regard to the amount, except where otherwise expressly stipulated in the contract. “Subsidiary silver is legal tender for amounts not exceeding ten dollars in any one payment. “Treasury notes of the act of July 14. 1890 are legal tender for all debts, public ar.d private, except where otherwise ex pressly stipulated in the contract. United States notes are legal tender for all debts, public and private, except duties on imports and interest on public debt. Go.d certificates, silver certificates and national banknotes are not legal tender, but both classes of certificates are re ceivable for aii public dues, while na tional banknotes are receivable for all public dues except duties on Imports, and may be paid out by jhe government for all salaries and other debts and demands owing by the United Stutes to individuals, corporations and associations within the United States, except interest on the pub lic debt and the redemption of the national i currency. Aii national banks are requited by law to*receive the notes of other na tional bank® at par. The minor coins of nickels and copper are legal tender to the amount~of 25 cents. The coinage of legal tender gold was au thorized by the first coinage act. passed by Congress April 2, 1792. The unit of value is the dollar containing 25.8 grams of standard gold .900 fine. The total coinage of gold by the United State® mints from 1792 to June 30. 1900, is , $2.1*7.088,113. of which it is estimated $922.- | 663,462 is now in existence, the remainder $1,243,434,661. representing the excess of ex ports over imports and the amount con sumed in the urts. The gold bullion now j in th-e United States amounts to $112,378,- 182. The silver dollar contains 412£ grains ! of silver .900 fine, or 371*4 grains of fin * ! •liver and 41*4 grains of copper alloy. The standard silver dollar was first author ized April 2, 1792, and contained 416 grains .8924 fine, or the same quality of fine sil ver as the present dollar, whose weight and fineness was established Jan. 18. 1817 The coinage of the standard silver dollar was discontinued by act of Feb. 12. 1873. and restored Feb. 28. 1878. Between 1792 and 1873, $8,031,238 of silver dollars was coined, and between 1878 and June 30. 1900 $498,496,215. Of the half a billion of silver dollars $490,341,739 ,are in the treasury, and only $66.4#.478 in circulation. $1,725,000 having been shipped to the Philippines, Cuba and j Porto Rico. The Unite !

For some time the black wing of the Republican party of Laurens county has been endeavoring to pul out a ticket for county officers. A few weeks ago a full ticket was nominated, about half white and the rest negroes. The white men refused to hove anything to do with the movement and persuaded the negroes nominated to decline. Yesterday another meeting was held, when it was decide*! to abandon putting out a full ticket and only nominate a senator and representative. Rev. J. R. Willis was nominated sena tor and Rev. C. J. Perry* for representa tive. Both are negroes. The Democrats believe that the Populists of the county are back of the movement to have a Re publican ticket in the field.

Lang, one block from the public square, was de stroyed by fire at a few minutes after 12 O’clock last night. This plant has been in operation for several years and enjoyed a large patronage from Washington and adjoining counties, repairing engines, boilers, gins, and ail kinds of machinery, and also dealt in new machinery of ill kinds. It was the most complete plant outside of the larger citie* of the state, and gave steady employment to a number of skilled machinists. The plant was val ued at $12,000. on which there were $4 000 in surance, making the net loss about SB,OOO. There were a god many jobs in the shop that had not been delivered, and various parties lost gins, parts of machinery, etc., which is estimated at $3,000. to $4,000. The fire spread bo rapidly nothing could be saved. The origin is not known. All SN’T LEAVE THE STATE. The Contention of Minority Stock holder* of the Pacolet Mills. Columbia, S.

Rifle Ten in for th Shoot. Americus, Ga., Aug. 12.—New cotton-is coming to Americus at a lively rate now. as the drought is causing it to open rap idly. The “season" will have opened here in another week. Up to last night twen ty-one a,cw bales had been received, and at least 360 will be brought in this week. There are several new buyers in the locnl field, and Americus will, as usual, be one of the best markets in Georgia this sea son. Last year about 80.000 bale* of cot ton were handled here, and it is hoped the new crop may be as large. There has been no rain here in two weeks, and the growing crop base been irreparably damaged. Whole fields of cotton that two weeks ago promised a fine yield are now burned by drought and rust. Wagon loads of forms and young bolls can be raked up. A rain now would benefit very little. The Americus Light Infantry will send a team to Savannah to participate in the state rifl? contest. The company has se cured the excellent range constructed here by one of the regiments at Camp Gilman two years ago. and will begin practicing this week. A dozen of the best marks men have been selected, and the rifle team will be made up from this number inter. The men are enthusiastic, and expect to capture one c-r more prizes. The jury commissioner® of Sumter coun ty have just completed a revision of the jury box and the result shows a shortage of nearly 500 names. This is due to the fact that hundreds of citizens failed or refused to return their property for tax ation this year, and as the jury list is made up entirely from the tax books, j there was nothing for the commissioners to do but leave out of the jury box the names of such delinquents. Some of the leading citizens of town and county thus escape jury duty. It is for this reason, largely, that Sumter's tax digest show.s a decrease of $221,000 this year, when there should have been little if any decrease. More than 11,000 acres of farm land lias been "ioet" as well, a comparison of acre age with that given in last year, showing such an alarming shrinkage in realty. The Confederate Veterans of Sumter county propose having a great reunion and barbecue at Americus, on Aug. 31, end are already perfecting plans to that end. Gen. Gordon, Gov. Candler and oth er distinguished gentlemen will be in vited. and scores of old soldiers and their families and friend's will come to the* feast. MOTES WELL KNOWN IN MACON. %Kert* His Innocence of Charge of Breach of Trust. Charleston, S. C., Aug. 2.—J. Lee Motes ot Macon, who was sent to jail here Sat urday on a charge of breach of trust, seems to be well connected in Georgia. He has strong lepers of recommendation from Solicitor General Polhi.l of the Ma con circuit and other leading men of that section. He loudly declares his innocence, has employed a lawyer and Is writing to his friends in Georgia to come to his aid. VIOLET FARMS, flow Worn-Out Lunds in Virginia Are firing Mmle to Pay. From the Baltimore Sun. “The worn-out farm® of Virginia, prin cipally in Albemarle and adjacent coun ties, of late have been turned to good ac count by their owners, who have directed their attention to violet growing. The violet industry is spreading rapidly in that section, end the growers, the mos: successful of whom are women! employ smell negro boys to carry on the work, which, while not laborious, is tedious, for the violet® require constant attention. The greater part of the yield is taken by Philadelphia dealers. Although they are noi making wealthy,* the growers ore receiving subsrantiaJ p‘turns and find this new* industry more profitable than ordinary farming. ‘The great violet-growing center is Poughkeepsie, N. Y. f says Dr. B. F. Galloway, of the Department of Agricul ture, who has had the violet hobby for >ears. He iy the author of several books on the subject of profit in violet raising. All violets from thie district find a ready market in New York City, end as the demand for them is increasing yearly a promising field in opened for the young energetic and intelligent men and women or to-day. "Answering a question as <o why the violet has always been a popular flower, Ur. Galloway said that for four or five months In the year the public has no vio lers at all. It is only from the middle of October to the end of Easter time that violets are In season, and when they do arrive they are in great demand. On the contrary, roses abound all the year round. There Is also a certain delicacy, a modes ty, about the violet that makes it always wanted, while its perfume is another im portant point in Its favor. "Only two of the double varieties of vio lets are grown—the Maria Louise and the Lady Hume Campbell. There are many kinds of single flowers, which, while beau tiful and fragrant, are not popular. This is a matter of taste, however. In Europe, especially in Paris, the single violets are in great demand. There is a growing de mand for the single violet in this country, however. The old-fashioned way of grow ing violoifs. borrowed from the English twenty-five or thirty years ago. was in 'cold frames.' These were cheap, box-like arrangements put up and covered over ip winter with a glass sash. As the demand increased it was seen that this method of culture was not practical. Dealers in the cities were unable to secure the flowers al times, as the frames would be covered with two or three feet of snow, and it would he impossible for the growers to get at them. American ingenuity took a hand at this point and cellars were constructed adjacent to the beds, and this difficulty was obviated. From this evolved the rcg ular violet houses of the present time, properly heated and ventilated and so con structed that they can be reached at all times. Still a great number of violets arc grown in frames, and for the beginners it is the best plan to adopt on account of its cheapness, its valuable experience can thus be won at slight expense. “Violets to be successful must be grown tnt'rely from cuttings. Young offshoots taken early in the spring give the most satisfactory results. In some cases the old plants are allowed to remain year after year, hut this is unsatisfactory, as each year's crop shows a dear a e in th num ber and the size of the flowers. The best results ere olvalned by replintlng every year. A start should he made every sp lnt with young offshoots—t ahy plants—plant ed in small boxes. As soon as they make good roots they should he plantei directly to where they are to stand all summtr It Is at this time that they should be care fully watched. Dead leaves and runners should be taken oft and the plant made to contract, each forming a bulgy crown. By the middle of September, if properly treated, these plants should cover the en tire ground. By the Ist of October they begin to blossom. At first the flowers are small, and. consequently, of little or no value, and are thrown away. By the mid die of October they arc sufficiently large, however, to send to market, and Imme diately bring a good price. "Violets generally s II for not less than a cent apiece, and when the average of a single plant is 50 flowers a season, and, with good care, a hundred, the profit can be readily seen. In the vicinity of every city violet raising Con'd be made profita ble Any land that will grow potatoes, ‘made rich by the addition of fertiliser, proves excellent hr. ellng ground for vio lets. in starting a violet house care must be taken to see that there are proper fa cilities for shipping, although a persou from four to six nours frem th* city can s lip to go*cl advantage “In the Virginia violet farms, after the young offshoots have been transplanted into opt-n frames, rolling wooden screens are used cn the top of the frames to r gu late the* amount of sunshine which shall be- admittel to the plant**.“ TORE EARRINGS OFF % WOMAN. ■told Thief Makes ft.ftOO Hnnl In n New York Street < r. From the New York World. “Stop thief! S-top thief!" yelled a chorus of voices as a light-fingered young fel low ran alongside a Canal street car yes terday afternoon and jeck<*d a diamond earring valued at $1,500 from the ear of Mrs. Bessie Krulewitch. a passenger. East in Division street he ran. a crowd in close pursuit; but he succeeded in escaping nevertheless. Mrs. Bessie Krulewitch lives at No. 1632 Madison avenue. Yesterday she went shopping and it was on her way home that misfortune befell her. She boarded a Canal atreet car at Jefferson street and East Broadway. The oar had gone about two blocks when it was stopped to let off passengers at a crowded corner. The robber stepped from the crowd to the open window of the car. reached in and tore the diamond from Mrs. Krule witch’s ear. inflicting a severe wound. The croud heard her scream and saw the fleeing robber. When they thought they had him he was gone—swallowed up in their own midst. Emanuel Krulewitch. Mrs. Krulewitch’9 son. was with her and lodged a complaint at police headquarters. Two detectives were detailed on the case. They have a description of the thief and hope to arrest him. Mr. Krulewitch is in the Catskill moun tains and does not know of his wife’s loss. He is a successful real e?tate dealer. SOCIETY WOMEN ARE SCORED. Rev. Sam Jonnt I tiers Some ( linr notorletlo Remarks. From the Philadelphia Press. Gloucester City, Aug. 9.—By far the largest crowd of the week attended to day’s services at the National Park camp meeting and the auditorium was filled to overflowing Taking his theme on “Prom ises." Sam Jones entered into a sharp de nunciation of society women. “God has kepi his promise to man.” said he, "by giving him a wife and children. A man possessing a good wife is a rich man, but a man who has a society wife and n pug dog hasn’t much. “When I see women cHitting off the tops of their gowns for the ballroom and the bottom for the bicycle I am afraid of wo mankind, as these capers don’t mix with religion. If I was to do that they would arrest me and make me be decent. “If God had intended for woman to go around half-nude, he would have covered her with more hair or feathers. I like a fast Biorse, but give me a slow girl." Men, Monkey and Hnr*e*. From the Youth's Companion. Perspiration is almost peculiar to men, monkeys and horses. Horses sweat all over the body and so do human beings, but monkeys, it is said, sweat only on the hands, f et and face. The use of per spiration is mainly to cool the body by its evaporation, although it is generally believed that waste mateiials’are also ex creted through the glands when the action of the kidneys is interfered with. In animals that perspire but little, the cooling of the body is effected by evaporation from the lungs, as we see in the case of a panting dog. The amount of perspirat on vari s great ly, according to the temperature of the surrounding air, the condition of health, (he degree of exercise taken, the amount of fluids imbibed, etc. The average amount of perspiration is thought to be about two pints a day, but this is. of course, much Increased in hot weather. In damp weather evaporation from the sk n is kssensfd, and so one seems to perspire more profusely than in dry weather; but this is only apparent, for really transpiration is lessened when the atmosphere is charged with moisture. Hyperhidrosis is the medical term used to denote an abnormal increase in per spiration. This increase may be general from the entire body, or confined to some particular port, as the face, the hands or the feet. Profuse sweating is very com mon in cases of debility and in excessively stout persors. It occurs also in connec tion with various diseases such as con sumption (night sweats.), pneumonia, in flammatory rheumatism and certain nerv ous disorders. Sudden emotion may cause increased perspiration. The opposite condition, a great diminu tion or absence of sweeting (anhidrosis), is much rarer, and occurs usually in con nection with some disease of the skin. Sometimes the character of the secretion is changed, and cases of black, blue. gray, yellow or red sweating have been des cribed. The treatment of profuse perspiration depends upon the cause. Toni :■, cold or cool bathing, especially salt barhirg. tem p rate exercise and rubbing of the skin are useful in casts dependent upon gen eral debility or obesity. Spraying or spong ing the body with brandy and water, vine gar and w'ater, or a solution of tannin or boric acid. Is useful.

Suwanee Springs Cos., Suwanee, Fla.: Gentlemen—ln the fall of 1892 my wife became a sufferer of the inflammatory rheumatism, and my family physician witn others as good as the state afford, living in Hawkinsville, Ga., began treat ing her for same. eujd no relief could she get. I was advised by my uncle, P. A. Robuck, now living in Cochran, Ga., who had visited the springs, and found such great relief for the kidney disease he had so long been a sufferer of, and knowing of the waters to be good for rheumatism, as I had tried ail patent medicines I saw advertised, and no relief could she get after suffering for months, and becoming almost a hopeless invalid, I brought her to Suwanee Sulphur Springs in Florida, and after staying there 70 days she could get about lively anu quick as any one. and felt no symptoms of pain after the 70 days; we returned to Hawkinsville, Ga., and she still improved in health and flesh, and ,was finally cured by nothing but the waters used from Suwanee Springe. Our little girl Almira at the time we visited the springs was nine months old. At the age of one month it was afflicted with a dreadful breaking out all over Its face and body, eyes began to inflame, and we thought for a time it would lose the sight. It troubled us very much. We called in u doctor, who did not think there was much the matter, but the child continued to grow worse, and It wits suffering so much and was so fretful that we had no rest night or day. We did everything we could, but brqughl no relief to the little sufferer. I tried everything at hand, or that I could hear of, but without the de sired effect. About this time we got to the springs. In a few days I could tell it was improving, and in less than two months if was perfectly well. Splotches all left the skin; It is now a healthy child, and has a bright-good eye and fair skin as you wish to see. Ever since I was 15 years old I have had catarrh of the head. 1 tried all kinds of medicine and the best physician for 15 years, but without any benefit. When 1 visited the Suwanee Springs with my wife for the rheumatism I found the water w r as a cure for catarrh, and after ueing it a while my head began to feel clear, my breath got pure and sweet, and I have never been troubled with neuralgia, and but very little with catarrh since. It is an instant and permanent cute for neu ralgia and erysipelas. I regard it as the best all-round medicine in the world. As a blood purifier it has no equal, and it is a sure cure for rheumatism and all skin diseases. I cannot say too much in praise of the Suw'anee Sulphur Springs. With grati tude, 1 am yours truly, P.

These springs are the property of Wheeler & Cos., hence no other Ginger Ale manufac turer In Ireland has those waters but themselves. The Wheeler Ginger Ale is made from pure Jamaica Ginger Root and not from Red Pepper, as others are; one Is deleterious—the other is a tonic.
