Coining Silver Dollars.
It is current that a new record
has been set in the coining of silver
dollars, upon which the energies of
the mint at Phildclpbia have been
concentrated in order to replace
the 850,000,000 coins of that de
nomination melted down in the
course of the war to sell to the
English as bullion. The average
production for the last month,
according to figures received here
has been 260,000 silver dollars
daily, and on some days it lias
reached 275,000.
The Philadelphia plant accord
ing to reports received in Atlanta,
is turning out as much as the
government’s two other mints,
San Francisco and Denver combin
ed, but nevertheless it probably
will take two years to replace the
coins melted.
After melting the coins sold as
bullion, the government, it is
stated, was obliged to call in all
silver certificates covered by them,
as under the law the treasury must
hold a silver dollar for each certi
ficate issued. To cover the loss in
currency, short-term certificates of
indebtedness bearing two per cent
interest was issued. The dollars
now being coined permit the issu
ance of new silver certificates,
which are being used in calling in
the certificates of indebtedness.

A publisher’s enthusiasm for his
work and his pride in the town’s
institutions are subjected to rude
shock when he discovers heads of
some of these institutions in the
act of sending orders for printing
to out-of-town competition. There
are still in existence in many lo
calities individuals who freely ride
the newspaper at every opportunity
as well as rob it of legitimate busi
ness justly belonging to it. —Met-
ier Advertises.
A business can exist in this ad
vertising age without ringing its
bell often to let the world know
what it is, where it is and what it
offers the public, but no business
can grow and develop to anything
like its possibilities without the
help of practical advertising.
America’s greatest merchants have
been America’s greatest merchan

What is the matter with the
Nashville cotton market? Word
comes to The Herald that farmers
living in sight of Nashville are
carrying their cotton to other
markets. That is never going to
do. Nashville must give as much
for the farmer’s product as the
other markets if we are to ever get
anywhere. It is good business to
pay the highest market price for
products. Every time a dollar’s
worth of product is sold in a town,
a major portion of that money is
spent there. When a town tries
to make money by buying country
produce cheap it cuts off the head
of the goose that lays the golden
eggs. Let’s stimulate the cotton
market. —Nashville Herald.
There were 510 ears of water

The New Way.
Making a tire repair on the road
has become a very simpleoperation
in recent years. Such repairs have
to be made only at rare intervals
nowadays because tires are so much
better that they seldom break
down, and roads are so much bet
ter that the danger of punctures
and blow-outs is greatly diminish
ed.
“The development of materials
which make the repairing opera
tion a very simple matter,” says
W. II: Waddclle, dealer in United
States tires, “has eliminated most
of the discomfort of making an
emergency repair on the road, and
the number of these materials has
been reduced to such an extent
that about all a motorist need car
ry in liis tool box for tire trouble
is a cold patch kit for inner tube
repairs, some blow-out patches for
repairs to casings, some tire tape
and a lieal-a cut outfit for filling up
bad cuts in the surface of the
casing.”
Seeds for Fail Gardens
Now that the time is here to
buy Fall Garden Seed I want to
call your attention to the fact that
in addition to having lately
bought and put in a nice line of
packet seed. I have also a nice
line of most all varieties of fall
turnip seed in bulk that I can sell
you more seed for the same amount
of money than can be bought in
the packages. Shall be glad to
have you call examine my line of
garden seed as well as all other
lines I carry in stock. My price
will sell the goods.
Come and get the bargain price.

death and was arrested for the
