BILL-ARFS LETTER.
Uettine richer ana ncner. l am
not, but somebody is. The state is
if the comptroller's report is to be
believed. This report is a book of
ioo oases, and is full of facts and
figures that interest every citizen.
1 don't see how Mr. Wright ever
crammed it with so many tables and
statistics. It never occurred to me
that is was such a big thing to run
the government of Georgia. We
have been getting richer and richer
every year. We talk about ' hard
times and everybody complains, but
the tax books show a regular in
crease of taxable property every year.
It was doubled in twelve years. In
1889 it was about $250,000,000, and
now it is $500,000,000. We have
been saying that the rich were getting
richer and the poor poorer, but the
tax books don't show it that way. Of
course the rich get richer, but' they
don't get all the increase. The farm
ing lands haye increased from $90,
000,000 to $137,000,000; farm imple
ments, from $3 000,600 to $6,000,
000; household . furniture, from
$9,600,000 to $16,000,000. This is
a good sign. When a farmer buys
better tools and implements to farm
with and better furniture for his
house he is prospering. I ' never see
a bureau or a bedstead going out of
town but what I rejoice with the good
wife and daughters, whose great com
fort is in adorning their home with
the comforts and luxuries of life An
other good sign of general prosperity
is the increase of manufactures. The
capital in cotton mills alone has in
creased from $1,640,000 to $11,000,
000. They give employment to over
10,000 operatives and manufacture
annually 138,000 bales of cotton and
increase its value over $4,000,000.
Of course the largest increase is in
city property and banking capital
and railroads, the last named having
grown from $lj,ooo,ooo to $42,000,
000. But the farmer heed not be
envious of those who invest in these
things Merchants fail, banks suspend
and railroads go into receivers' hands.
The larger the venture the greater
the risk and there is no investment so
solid and secure as a good farm with
a good farmer and his family living on
it. For ages the comforts and happi
ness of rural-life have been the themes
of poets and philosophers. In times
like these, when business is stagnant
and big enterprises are crushing to
insolvency and . thousands of work
men are thrown out of employment,
the farmer alone is safe. He depends
upon his Maker for sunshine and for
rain and upon his land to reward his
labor. He. is remote from the tempta-

scandal. Indeed, ifhe will comoare
his independence and comfort with
. - ' I
the rich who dwell in the cities he
will find the balance sheet largely in
his favor.
This is especially so now since
a fair education has been provided
for his children. In no department
of congress has there been a greater
advance than in providing the means
and facilities of educating the children
of the state. Ten years ago the
fund was only a quarter ofa million
of dollars, which gave but about two
months' schooling to each pupil. Now
it has reached ;$i,i66,ooo for the
common schools and these have an
army of 7 500 teachers. Verily the
schoolmaster is abroad in the land
and he is becoming a power for
good. Five months' schooling is now
provided for and the illiteracy of
Georgia will not much longer be a
angina upon ner people, tne poor
should be thankful to the rich for
these privilages, for the money that
pays the teachers' comes from those
who have property to be taxedv
Then what have we, the people to
complain of. It is true that the times
are hard hard on those who owe
money, for the banks have locked
their money vaults and quit lending.
They are waiting on confidence and
confidence is a plant of slow growth.
It will take another crop to make
things easy. ' Only two or three
months to worry. The wheat crop
of north Georgia is being harvested
and will soon be in market and that
will bring some relief. Corn and
oats are promising, and cotton is not
so very bad. So take things all in all
I and our state is good condition. There
is nobody suffering and no epidemic
or contagion. Outside of the cities
there is but little crime. Indeed there
is no state in the union that has so
small a percentage of white convicts in
their prisons. Our white population
has doubled since i860, but the
number oT convicts for felonies have
not increased. For several years in
the last decade there was not a white
female convict and there are but two
now. If we coukl only do something
to stop the negroes fr om committing
crime we would have a common
wealth to be proud of. But they get
worse instead of better. Convicts increase-faster
pro rata than popula
tion. Now what we most need politically
is peace and good will, and 1 reckon
that will come as soon as the wrang- J
ling over the public offices is over. I
believe that the people of the north j
are getting kinder just a little kinder
since Senator lngalls has pro
nounced the negro a dead factor iri
politics. We see some other signs.
When Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Davis
can meet together socially and
symapthize with each other in their
widowhood it looks like other people
might make friends. What an impres
sive sight it would be to see those
old-time southern women talking
lovinelv together about the grand i
" - rt . f
old days before the war and telling
anecdotes about their family slaves
that they used to own. They can
hobnob together first rate, for old
man Dent was a Jackson democrat
and one of his boys fought in Mexico
side by side with Mr. Davis and
General Grant, and owned about as
many slaves as Mr. Davis did. The
only difference was he hired his out
until Lincoln set them free, but Mr
Davis kept his on the farm.
We will straighten all these things
out by degrees, but we must be

On the night of the 20th of January '

o'clock and broke open the door and
tired their guns into the room where j
they were sleeping and yelled "the '
world's on fire." j
Mrs. Colton was dragged out into the

was proven in court that her assailant,
Lorenzo Phillips, attempted violence
to her person. He endeavored to ter
rorize her by slashing at her with his
knife. He cut her hands in several
places.
In the fight with him Mrs. Colton
pulled oE his mask and hat and recog
nized him. She called him byname.
This enraged him and he grabbed his
gun and fired at her as he went out at
the door. The shot crushed the bones
in her leg so badly that it had to be
amputated.

Columbia, K. C, June 30. There is
much satisfaction and relief here at
the action of the syndicate which pur
chased the new 4 1-:.' percent bonds of
this state, issued, to retire six per cent
brown consols, due tomorrow, in today
completing the payment to the state
treasury of 85,'J5(),000, the full amount
for the new bonds.
The syndicate is composed of the
Baltimore Trust and Guarantee com
pany, of Baltimore. John
Williams

Lancaster & Co., of 2ew York, and
their associates.
The contract to take the new bonds
was made a few months ago. Pay
ment of the money, however, in the
midst of the prevailing depression and
f stringency was regarded as a remark
able achievement. It will do much to
relieve the pressure and make an easier
money market in the state and restore
confidence. It was thought hardly
possible that any group of financiers
could secure so large a sum in the exist
ing conditions. The state is now in a
position to meet her maturing obliga

Am Idit Cats Her Head off and Chops It Ta
FieceTTith an Axe.
Atlanta, Ga., June 30. Nineteen-year-old
Tom Pagan, deformed, half
paralyzed, almost dumb, a pitiful look
ing human and an imbecile from birth,
crept into the room where his mother
was enjoying an afternoon nap yester
day about 2 o'clock, chopped her head
from her body, and with fiendish glee
hacked it to pieces.
The horrible affair occurred in
Ileynoldstown, a suburb of Atlanta, a
mile east of the 'city limits and just
south of Edge wood. The idiot Slaver
I of his mother was the eldest child of
BailifE John M. Pagan, of Edgewood
district, and has been an imbecile all
his life. The bloody deed' was wit
nessed only by three small children,
none of whom are old enough to tell
anything about the details of the oc
currence. At the time the father and
the four oldest children were away
from home.
: Mr. Pagan was at a store a quarter
of a mile distant buying his wife a
pair of shoes wdien intelligence of the
horror was brought to him. When ha
got to his desolated home he was over-,
come by the horrible spectacle and tha
hysterical lamentations of the mother
less children.
Young Fagan has never been of sound
mind, his father says, though always
capable of helping about the farm. He
was particularly attentive to his
mother, and would do more for her
than for anybody else. Last Sunday
he was noticed to act ratherstrangely
by running back and forth across the
back yard with an axe in his hands,
but no particular significance wac at
tached to this on account of the cloud
that had always been over his mind.
When the police arived the young
man offered no resistance to being
taken to jail. He will be tried for
lunacy. -

EXPLANATION OF THE VICEROY.
-Vhy the free Coinage ot Silver was Stopped
in India.
Simla. June 20. In explaining to
the Indian council, the bill providing
for stoppage of free, coinage of silver
and of other monetary measures, the
marquis of jLansdeck. viceroy ofIndia,
said he hoped the government would
not be criticised for disposing of the
important question at a, single sitting.
The keynote of the scheme was rather
to prevent a further fall in exchange
than to raise the value of the rupee.
The lixing of the provisional rate oi
exchange at 1 s and 4 d, provides an
automatic means of preventing the
closing of the mints and the violent
disturbing of exchange rates. The
rates of exchange had .. been high 1
enough to relieve the government
while it was well within the limits oi
the recent fluctuations.
There should be no mistake, the vice
roy said, about the. facts. It was not
proposed to substitute gold for the sil
ver currency. The attempt would be
made to fix a legal tender for gold.
While the ratio of value was mentioned
it was onl' provisional.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
EXTRA SESSIOiN GALLED.
The President's l'roclxuia'. ion -Sum-sons
for Oie Call.
Washington, D. (.'.. June ?.(). Thi
President this evening issued the fol
lowing proclamation:
Executive Mansion. Vahinton. . P..
June 30, 1X93. Whereas. I bo distrust and appre
hension concerniiiK the tluam ial situation whu-.li
pervades ali business ihvlcs have already
caused trreat loss and da;uase to our nu-r.-liunlti
and threaten disaster, stop the wb K'la of manu
facture, bring distress and wivation to our
farmers, and withhold from our workinjrmen the
wages of labor, and.
. Whereas, The present perilous condition is
largely the result of a financial polit y which tho
executive branch of the government Ihids fiu
bodied'in unwis laws which must le executed,
until repealed by congress ;
Now, therefore. I. Grover Cleveland, president
of the United States, in performance of a
SUtutional duty, do by this prorlaniatiiin de
Clara that an extraordinary occasion require
the convening of tpth houses of the congress at.
thecapitolia the city of Washington, on the
seventh day of August next, at noon, that the
people may be relieved through legislation of
the present impending danger and distress. All
those entitled to act as members of the tifty
third congress are required to talie notice of
this proclamation and attend at the time and
place above stated.
Given under my hand nnd the seal of the United
States in the city of Washington, on the thir
tieth day of June, in the year of our Lord
eighteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the
independence the one hundred and seven
teenth. GUOVEIi CLEVELAND.
The determination to call an extra
session the first week in August in
stead of the first week in Septemb.i-,
it is understood was only definitely ar
rived at at this morning's Cabinet ses
sion after g-iving- full weight to numer
ous telegrams received from all parts
of the country urging- this course.
Another consideration which caused
the President to change his mind was
foreshadowed in the remark made
by one of his Cabinet officers two
days ago that if the President received
reasonable assurances that there was
a likelihood of a prompt repeal of tho
Sherman silver purchase law he might
be disposed to call Congress together
earlier than he had announced.
It is inferred from the fact that the
President has done so, that he consid
ers he has obtained the assurances he
desired.
STARVATION IN THEJR FACES.
Serious Situation of the Residents of the
Overflowed District in Louisiana.
Xew Orleans, July. 3. Suddenly
and almost without warning, the re
lentless waters poured through the
Kescue crevasse, now 300 .feet "wide,
swept down the river last Tuesday,
carrying destruction and terror in
their path. Many of the unfortunate
people are yet enduring the pangs of
hunger, foi they have no means of
securing food and it will be fortunate
indeed if all are succored before star
vation and exposure find victims among
them. So far as reported up to this
evening, ten lives have been lost, a
white girl, three colored men, one
eolored woman and five colored chil
dren. The names have not yet been
learned.
The new river country has frequent
ly been overflowed, but, no previous
flood has compared in depth, extent or
the suddenness of its coming. The one
that now covers it, in places that were
wholly unaffected by the crevasses of
1832, 1891 and 1S02, is now several feet
under water, and localities heretofore
believed to be above - overflows were
submerged today. Two fleets of skiffs
have been sent to the -rescue, -which it
is hoped will be able to accomplish the
work of saving all the. people from the
flood section. r

THE CLOTHING EXHIBIT.
It Is Housed In a lvcproductlon of a Fa
mous ti recti Temple.
The Tailors' national exchange has
erected a handsome structure of its
own at Jackson park. The cost of the
building was about ' SS.I.OOO, and S. S.
Heman was the architect. 'The building-
reproduces the Krechtheum at
Athens, which was planned by Pericles
and erected under, the supervision of
Phidias, the reat Creek sculptor. It
was finished about 410 1!. C.
This reproduction is .M feet 0 inches
cqtiare, inside measurement. Tlie.por-
con--fticos front and rear are alike. The
building is 94 feet each way, overall.
The interior of the main room is oc
tagonal in shape, which fonns a small
room in each corner. Upon the north
and south sides is a semicircular room,
BUILDING FOR TAILOKING EXHIBIT.
14 by 22 feet. Several rooms and tho
portico fronting upon the lagoon (as
shown in the elevation) are strictly
private for the exclusive use of sub
scribers to the building fund. The
steps of tho portico on the lagoon side
extend to the water, as a private land
ing "for boats. The building is at
tractively furnished, and attended by
employes of the national exchange,
capable of describing and exhibiting
the garments, fabrics, I style, trim
mings and workmanship, in an intel
ligent, unbiased and creditable man
ner to all exhibitors, whether mem
bers of the national exchange or not.
The ceramic mosaic on the floor was
designed and made especially for this
building by a firm at Shropshire, Eng
land. The building is a credit 'to all
who have had a share in its erection.
A PECULIAR FLOWER.
It Comes from South Africa and Cannot
Be Well Described.
Everything is big at the World's fair.
You see and hear there the biggest
men, the biggest buildings and tho
biggest lies in the world. Even tho
flowers are big. Over in the green
house there is one that opened tho
other day. There is nothing as big as
it in America. It is 44 inches long and
is the tirst of its kind ever bred in this
part of America. It comes from south
ern Africa and it is known as the Aros
tolochia tiigas Sturtevanti, which in
plain English means Stnrtcvant's big :
birthwort.
The uncanny-looking blossom is hard
to describe. It looks like a great
many not very pretty things. Sir
Samuel Vernon Steele, standing be
hind it,. said:
"It looks like a lobster!"
Mr. Hughes, standing in front of it,
said:
"It looks like a parrot!"
It-did look like both parrot and lob
ster. It also looked like a musician's
bag, a green gooseliner and a roquefort
cheese. But it is a mighty rare and
extraordinary -appearing blossom, mot
tled green in color and hanging by a
slender rope from a net of leases which'
its growth has spread undervthc glass
roof of the greenhouse. It comes from
southern Africa and was brought back
here by the Stanley expedition. In
Africa the flower sometimes grows to
a length of seventy-two inches.- The
Arostolochia Oigas is akin to tho
plant known as the "Dutchman's Pipe."
Rigged with Uaggage Carrier.
Spectators at the world's fair wcro
considerably amused during the week
to see a family procession fitted out
most - elaborately with baggage car
riersj A man, who was evidently the
father of the family, led the proces
sion carrying a baby. Over his right
shoulder and under his left arm. passed
a broad leather strap. This supported
an elaborate little leather harness, in
which the baby swung as snugly as in
a cradle, and requiring as little atten
tion. Uehind the man's back was
swung by a smaller strap two cotton
umbrellas. The next in the procession
was a middle-aged woman who ap
peared totally unconscious of the
weight of a large valise which was at
tached to her by an arrangement of
two straps over her shoulders. Then
came the daughter with a bundle of
shawls strapped to her, and lastly a
small boy supporting easily by a skate
strap a large box of luncheon. The
chances are that the man was a har
nessmaker and a Yankee.
To Illustrate Vegetable Foods.
The British section of the liberal
arts division at the world's, fair has
granted to the Vegetarian Federal
union a large wall space to show pic
tures and diagrams illustrating the
fruits, nuts, grains and other natural
products advocated by the union for
human food. Miss May Yates, Eng
lish commissioner of the union, is de
sirous of securing the loan of any
pictures or diagrams bearing on the
subject that they may be placed in the
collection. She may be addressed at
the liberal arts division, British -sec-
tion, Columbian exposition.
