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. 666 cures Chills and Fever. in the fight against the modern dance, gambling (card playing), whiskey making and drinking, public bathing, etc., are worthy any congregation, but it will re quire a daily supply of Divine grace to stand by them.

Read the Georgian regularly and keep your mind well balanced. The state insane asylum is turning down all applieantsaud the county jail is an unattractive place for crazy folks. But the legislature must have been crazy that it did not provide for the insane. May be it was because there is no tell ing how a crazy man will vote. — St. Marys Georgian. The first September morn w r as one of unsurpassed magnificence at sunrise. The sun is a few min utes high—in both March and September—before it appears over Oak mountain to the vision of Hamiltonians, but yesterday its fiery disk came up in a cloudless blaze of glory.

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 tile advertisers—a fact the sign ifie anee of which cannot be set aside. —Albany Herald. 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 melons and cantaloupes shipped from Worth county this year. They brought approximately $204,- 000, or S4OO per ear.

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.

Incidentally, it is said, that he profited by the reports of his death and was arrested for the fraudulency of his liveliness. It was finally a dead give away.— Savannah Morning News.
