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, and ever and anon get a love letter through the mail saying they have drawn on me through the bank for that little account that has been run- Elder S S Beaver, of McAllister ning so long.

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.
