Now is the time for everybody to
show their charity and good will.
Let us all divide out and help one
another. The papers all say that
there is plenty of money and the
banks that have suspended h:ive got
nienty of assets, and if confidence
1 -j -
could be restored everything would
become calm and serene again. Well
let us all take on confidence and di
vide out with one another. A; man
told me that he knew of one r man in
Atlanta who had shifted all his money
into gold and had $20,000 of it
locked up in a private drawer in one
of the banks and there were lots of
men who had from $5,000 to $10,000
locked up in the same way and they
were waiting to see what Congress
was going to do with silver. That is
all wrong. That gold ought to be
turned loose. I want a little of it
right now. Let us come to a divide
until this trouble is over.
When the war was over and every
body was as poor as Lazarus there
were a few here and there who had
notes on their neighbors. They say
law had prevented them fi 011 collect
ing, but when that law played out we
poor fellows who'owed a fitted ante
bellum money were suddenly invited
fo pay it and it took us years to do
it. We were sued and pursued. My
friend Bill Fort told me that it '.was
an outrage, and it was. All our sub
stance destroyed and 'now these debts
to hang over us world without end,
and so Fori -'tried to get up a town
meeting and pass resolutions to have
a big bonfire in the middle of the
street and let everybody who had a
note or a debt on anybody be called
upon to come forward like patriots
and cast the note or the debt into the
lire and then let us all Like a new
statt in the world. I thought it was
a splendid idea, but when we began
to agitate it it was discovered that
nobody was in favor of it except
those"" who owed the money. Patriot
ism is one thing and money is anoth
er. They are no kin. But now, it
seems to me', is a good time for
evei ybod y to come to a reasonable
divide. I will divide with anybody
who will divide with me, though I
am 111 nil l erkins s nx nynt now.
m never had any money to speak
of, but he always held his head up
ke a gentleman. One day a poor
mntryman who knew Jim and
jhj.
oked up to him took him aside
and begged him for a loan of five
dollars until harvest. Jim seemed
very much distressed and told the
poor Tellow 'be didn't have that much
in the world. Then the poor fellow
lowered his sights and asked for $3,
and Jim said' he didn't have that
much. "Well, let me have $1," said
he and Jim said : "'Jack, I hate to ac
knowledge it', but I'll". swear, before
high heaven I haven't had a dollar
in a month. No, I haven't had a
dog-on cent.
The times are awful hard, but if
we will all come to a divide nobody
will suffer. It's no time to be draw
ing on a man through a bank when
the bank wouldn't lend you a cent.
Banks are established to help the
people in just such times and Atlanta
brags on her banks, but you can't
borrow a dollar through the front
door. They say there is a back door
or ground floor somewhere, but I
couldn't find it. I was willing to
take silver, but they didn't have it I
reckon. I don't like for anybody to
draw on me through a bank. What
has the bank got to do with a man
when they won't help him lap over
or bridge over the bloody chasm.
Here I am without a dollar and can't
buy a chicken or pay the preacher,

Mr. Win. II. Ilorah, an aged and
highly -.respected citizen of this city,
and one who1 is well known for h:s
veracity, tells the following incident
as occurring to his knowledge re
garding the payment 'of .debts with a
single dollar: While m business be
fore the war he had occasion to at
tend a sale in the county where some
one in the crowd - asked him for $1.
Remembering that he owed the man
this amount he paid him. whereupon
the man at once paid it to another
1
man he owed, w ho in turn paid it to
still another, anil so on until it had
reached the fifth man. The latter
happened to owe Mr. Horah $1, now'
handed it to him, in payment ot his
account. Mr. Horah returned home
with the same piece of money, hav
ing paid a debt and collected a bill
with it. The money, besides cancel-
ling a debt and settling an account
for Mr. Horah, h id paid bills for five

Cr.KVEi.Axn. O.. Aujrust 7. A special
from Fremont say: A. terrible wreck
occurred last nig-ht shortly after 10
o'clock at Lindsay, a small village of
about 500 inhabitants, eight miles west
of this place on the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern railway, i
An engine and three sleepers were
badly demolished and three people
killed outright, while fully twenty-livo
were more or less badly injured. ,Tha
wreck was caused by . the collision of
a westbound passenger train and an
castbound freight. 1 ' '
Passeng-er train' Xo. 0. the, Pacific ex
press due at this place at 1:50 o'clock,
left here last night about teu minutes
late. The train consisted of aa engine,
baggage car, two express cars, three
coaches and five sleepers. The coaches
dnd sleepers were ail well filled with
people, many of whom were on their
way to Chicago. At Lindsay, the next
station west of this place, the train
passed a local freight, No. 74, which
had been sidetracked to let train No. it
pass. The train was running at full
speed and passed safely until the
sleeper neared the switch, close to the
freight, when the first three sleepers
jumped the track and ran into the
engine of the freight. The engine
was wrecked and the sleepers cr.ushed
like egg shells. As the sleepers were
filed with passengers, it seems a miracle
that all were not instantly killed.

A FATED SECTION.
The , Dlsas'prs with Which . Koine TUonros
County rarmiTH Have to Contend.
Forsyth, (1a.. August 5. A certain
section of ;!onroe comity .seems to be
fated. A few mouths ago a cyclone,
passed n few miles' south of Forsyth,
demolishing houses and injuring prop
erty generally, .lust after those in
jured rallied from this disaster, another
one came in the form of a hail storm.
Some of the crops were completely de
stroyed. The eottoii and corn in some
places, winch ' had attained a good
growth., was so m-aten up that it was
plowed up atul a hew crop. was planted.
Strange to relate, this week this
same region was visited by another
terrible hail storm, and the young
crop just now beginning to grow was
again wiped out and destroyed. Some
of thi' farmers are left in a helpless
condition, without": any prospect for a
crop. ' -

ROBBERS FIRED IT.
Looted i he Cold Storage Itulldlnc and Theo
Set It on Fire.
CniCAoo, August 5. Evidence of a
startling nature concerning the cold
storage warehouse lire was taken by
the grand jury today. The witness
who gave the startling testimony was
John Joseph Duggan. formerly a Stony
Island avenue bar keeper, and Ihe man
who first told of the looting of the cold
storage warehouse and its firing by a
gang of robbers.
According to Mr Duggan, there
were 150 men concerned in. the con
spiracy,, and he declared that he had
given the names to the grand jury.
He said that, from the opening of the
exposition up to the time of the fire,
goods were stolen, or at least removed
from the cold-stovage warehouse by
the wagon loud. The wagons used
were express wagons generally, though:
he had known of w atering carts going
out of the gates with the tanks tilled
with hams, bottles of wine and other
stock. .-'-... ,
"Who removed these, goods," was
asked. -
"Employes of the cold-storage ware
house and a gang that lives on Stony
Island avenue, just this side of the
grounds."
"Did you give evidence that would
implicate criminally the persons who
removed the-goods?"
"Yes, there'll ho a sensation when
this whole thing comes out. There
are about 150 implicated. . I have given
their names to the grand jury."'
