Spuciul to Snquirur-8un,
Atlanta, July 19.—Judge T. C. Cren-
shnw, collector of intermit revenue, togeth
er with other United States officials in At
lanta, have been at work for some time
past on the books of the James bank and
they bring to light, some facts that may
make tvouble ior Mr. James. It will be
remembered that May IB, 1S84, President
John H. James assigned, owing
liis depositors about half a
million dollars. The investigation just
concluded by the United States officials
.show that he was also due the United
States about $10,000, whieli amount they
allege the government was kept oat of by
fraudulent returns of his banking capital
during the years 1876 to 1883.
Prior to 1883 bankers were re-
cjuired to pay a) tax of one-twenty-
tourth of one per cent, each month upon
the capital employed, and upon the aver
age amount of deposits of money subject
to payment by check or draft. This law
was repealed March,’83. The penalty for
a violation is imprisonment not exceeding
ten years, a fine not exceeding $1000, one
or both in the discretion of the judge. In
an interview with the Constitution
in January, 1883, Mr. James said his bank
had a capital of $200,000. llis report to the
government at the same time was $100,000.
Comparing his returns with his books,
shows that he failed to return ns much as
$200,000 for some months. The result of
their investigations has been reported
in Washington and . the officers are ex
pecting instructions daily for Mr. James'
arrest, lie can stop the prosecution by
paying the $10,000 due the government,
and the officers say the prosecu
tion will be pressed until it is paid.
.Mr. .lames denies any fraud on
his returns and claims that the moneys
which he did not return were not subject
to taxation, being borrowed money. Ti e
authorities claim, however, that borrowed
money is plainly included in the law, and
Mr. James could uot have labored under
any mistake in the matter. ,

A TRAGEDY.
A Sliiiutiim All'riij iu I ;ti'!riMil 1, Sinnliiy.
Atlanta, July 19.—The quiet of Sunday
was rudely broken in the town of Carters
ville by a shooting ati'ruy on the principal
street, which resulted iu the death of Bry
ant Strickland, a young man about 30 years
old. The details of^the occurrence as re
ceived here are these: Young Strickland
was drinking Saturday night and forced
his nay into the room of another gentle
man, from which lie was ejected by niglil
watchman Puckett, who was obliged to
use his club on him. When in the street
Strickland said he was sorry for what he
had done and told Marshal Puckett lie
would go quietly home if he would not
lock him up. The marshal consented and
they parted apparently on good terms.
Sunday morning, however, Strickland re
luted the circumstance of the night before
to some of his friends and swore
he would kill Puckett. These threats
were communicated to the marshal,
hut he did not attach importance to them
and said Strickland would be all right
when lie got sober. Later in the day
while, the marshal was talking with!his
brother, Jim Puckett, and Tobe Jackson,
of dynamite fame, a negro brought him a
message from Stricldand 10 “come there—
he wanted to kill him.”
Marshall Puckett consulted Alijerman
Hudgins about the matter, and the latter
said: “Come on with me; i'll go see Strick
land with you and i think
I CAN PREVENT ANY TROUBLE."
As they, accompanied by Jim Puckett
and Tobe Jackson, approached Strickland,
the negro who had borne the message
called out: “Here eoineij Mr. Puckett
now.” Strickland immediately turned on
them, and calling to Puckett to come out
of the crowd, began tiring. The crowd
scattered and Puckett, continuing to ad
vance on Strickland, whipped out
his pistol and returned bis tire.
Bystanders allege that Jim Puckett and
Tube also began tiring on Strickland. Bot h
Puckett and Strickland emptied their pis
tols, live shots each, and at Puckett’s last
shot Strickland fell dead, shot through the
heart. Jim Puckett and Tobe Jackson
•Loth deny firing, but as nine bullets are
imbedded in the trees and buildings around
where Strickland stood, and Marshal Puck
ett’s pistol contained hut live, the evidence
would seem to disprove their statements.
They admit they had pistols when the tir
ing took Iplace, though these had disap
peared when they were arrested. Some
persons contend that it was Tobe Jackson
that killed Strickland, but Marshal Puckett
says he knows, it was his last shot that
killed him. The two Pucketts and Jack-
son are in jail. The connection of Tobe
Jackson’s name with the affair, and the
fact that whisky was at tiie bottom of it in
a dry county, lent sensational features
to the sad tragedy. Cartersviih: v. as thrown
into exitement over the affair, and ail day
•crowds were collected about the scene of
tile affray.

digests from four more counties have been
received, which are more encouraging,
and change the totals to the prolit side of
the ledger. Terrell county gives an in
crease of $21,130, Clay $27,771, Jefferson

now an aggregate gain of $35,000 in eleven
counties. As compared with an aggregate
fulling off of $116,000 in seven counties,
this is a greatly improved showing.

Correspondence Enquirer-dun.
Muscogee County, July 19.—The arti
cle in Sunday’s Enquirer-Sun from Rus-
ticus wrni very interesting and suggestive,
presenting iu an impressive manner, the
pastand present condition of this country.
The. reflection is a sad one. but neverthe
less true, and the southern tiller of the soil,
has thrust upon him a uroblein hard indeed
of salution. Many philosophers have riser,
and are still coming to the front, with an
easy and quick remedy for the evil, but
either from a lack of confldcuae in the
doctor, or his prescription, the medicine is
wasted, and the patient seems to grow
worse and worse every year.
The prescription most generally used by
agricultural doctors for the past twenty-
years has been : Raise more corn and less
cotton, cut clown expenses, rotate and di
versify crops, etc., e'tc. This is a sugar-
coated pill, easy to swallow, but which hits
failed to eradicate the disease after a twenty
year trial.
Economy has been practiced and crops
have been diversified, and yet the farmer
seems to grow poorer, and a new prescrip
tion must be invoked.
The distemper seems to be akin, in in-
eurtibleness. to what was thought a few
years ago of the bite of a nqpl dog. Many
remedies were suggested and us freely
used, but tiie patients died, until at last ii.
l’asteur began to experiment and found a
remedy. The disease wideh is so severely
afflicting tne southern farmer to-day is not
a new one, nor one confined to the south,
but is an old one, and has or will afflict
every country on the earth, and is the nat
ural recoil of that touch-and-go, slip-shod,
take-all method which has characterized
the pioneer farmer in this and all other
countries.
The fertility <if the soil which nature so
bountifully bestowed on our country is
gone, and all the economy, diversification
of crops tiiat can be practiced can’t restore
it, and until it is restored, nothing hut pov
erty and dissatisfaction with farm work
will prevail.
The great and living question is how to
fertilize; how to reclaim and restore; what
is the surest and the most economical way
of producing on one acre tiie crops we
have been reaping L-oni four or five. Solve
this problem and life farmer will find him
self master of the situation. He will be
come at once independent of the hireland
to a great degree and himself and children
ivili become so interested in the product of
the old farm ami will discover such im
mense posibilities in agriculture, and such a
wide field will be open to gratify the am
bition of our youths, they will no longer
try to escape the unrennmerative drudgery
of the farm in the pursuit of anew avoca
tion or the continuation of the old in a new
and more fertile country. They will learn
to appreciate the old bids of the south and
the fact that this is the garden spot of tiie
world.
As I have before remarked this is no new
question. About one hundred years ago
Frederick the Great looked on the poverty
of his kingdom and began to study the
cause, and discovered that it lay in the
poverty of the soil, and although lii.s king
dom was a small one he devoted as much
us thirty-two million dollars for the pur
pose of improving its agricultural condi
tion, tin' chief object being the reclamation
and improving waste land through the me
dium of experimental stations. it was at
these stations he expected to get the in
formation he desired, to-wit: how to fertil
ize. This great question attracted the at
tention of the people of England, and in
1813 Mr Lowes established an experi
mental station at Rathornsted to
ascertain the peculiarities of soil
and tiie effect different manures,
and the result was the farmers of Eng
land began to adopt his suggestions, and it
increased the normal yield of 13 bushels
per acre to t hat of an average of 31.2!
bushels of wheat per acre.
Lowes ami Gilbert iound that without
systematic enriching, English soil would
not produce more than 2300 pounds of hay
per acre, while fields by the side of thorn,
properly fertilized, produced 6100 pounds
per acre. Not only in Germany but in
England, tiie effect of' these new theories
and methods were felt. Tiie. introduction
of artificial fertilizers more than doubled
the product of the English fields per acre,
in France, also, wo have a most striking
illustration of the interest this subject has
begotten in.the mindsof that extraordinary
people.
In that country lour persons out every
five you meet in town or country are en
gaged in agriculture, which for "that rea
son alone, shows that it was from the far
mers of France the money was drawn to
pay the expenses of the Franco-Prussian
war,and after paying an indemnity to Ger
many, have money to lend to the United
Stales, a feat which startled the world.
The secret of all these surprising achieve
ments is owing entirely to the fact that
France is alive and active in adopting the
best methods of discovering the most
economic way of fertilizing so as to pro
duce the greatest yield per acre.
Prof. M. Geory Ville, who has devoted
thirty years of hislife in luborous study and
experimenting in growing field crops at
Vincennes, France, says:
We have learned three practical lessons
from our preceding meetings—
First—That by the help of four sub
stances witli winch you are now familiar
(ammonia, phosphoric acid and potash 1,
we cannot only prevent the exhaustion of
the soil, no matter how large tiie crops
grow, but can also gi\V it rapidly the
maximum fertility consistent with climate
and local conditions.
The second lesson deduced is not less im
portant than the first. Culture based on
the exclusive use of barn yard manure is
never remunerative. With manure alone
which the farm produces there is no profit.
Intensive culture with barn yard manure
is chimera. It is impossible to deny this.
Lavoiser, Donibusle, Bella and Boussin-
gault are unanimous on this point.
This a bold assertion, and doubtless will
cause Rusticus to “smole” a great smile,
one that will spread over his entire counte
nance. But, my dear fellow, remember
these are not theories, but facts resulting
from years of actual experiment.
Prof. Nobbes, after having presided
over an experimental station near Dresden
in Saxony for twenty years, found that
land which had been exhausted Jay re
peated crops could be renewed and made
productive by manufactured fertilizers at
less expense than by barn manure. But
why multiply authority on this point.
If the foregoing is not sufficient of itself to
carry conviction to any fair mind, we will
have to sit and wait until a few more years
of toil and disappointment are passed in
nursing old theories and flippant abuse of
that friend which stands ready, by a judi
cious use of its constituents, to make this
country blossom asja rose. Guano.

Chicago, July Hi.---.Judge Garris* court
was crowded this morning when the firs'
witness. Lieut. Stanton, one of the olHcers
wounded at Hayniurko 1 , was placed on tin.
stand. The witness* described in detail the
events of the night of May 1th and was
asked concerning the wounds lu* received.
He saw the bomb in the air,
heard the hissing of the
fuse which was about two
inches long, saw the missile after it struck
the ground, and to the best of his belief it
was about the size of his two fists put to
gether.
Officer H. T. Fruger, of Lieutenant
Steele’s company, was the next
witness. He was in front rank.
He heard a voice say, “Here comes
the bloodhounds,’* and thought this re
mark was made by the speaker who was
addressing the meeting. “ I heard sonic
one sav we are jjeaceable.’ ”
“ Who was this man ? 13 he among the
defendants?”
“Yes, he is the fourth man from the
left,” pointing to Fielden.
Fielaen stood up. The witness looked
at him and said :
“That’s the man. i saw him draw a re
volver, and I am sure he fired two shots.”
“What then ?”
“He took cover behind a wagon.”
“What do you mean by took cover
“Why, he hid behind the wagon. T re
turned his fire. Then he started into
the crowd and 1 shot at him
again. I saw him limp off.
That's the last 1 saw of him. The firing
was pretty lively then. The smoke was
thick, and I could not see very well. 1 was
wounded in the knee. The bullet was from
a 38-c.alibre revolver.*’
Several other officers identified Fielden
as the man whom they saw fire several
shots into the police ranks.
Luther M. Moult* 1:, u Knight of L‘iK»r
residing in Graxid Rapids, Mien., who j-re
sided at the meeting tit which Spies * p< let?,
testified: “Spit s was introduced*to mi as a
prominent organizer of the socialists in
Chicago. J questioned Spies regarding
1 he objects of Ins organization.
He said that the objects were
to reorganize the society so that the labor
ing men would haven nmre erpo tabic share
jii the fruits ot 11 is labors. I interposed
objections to draw him out and sufd
the ballot box and tiie legists re were
the proper mentis to secure tne desired re
forms. He said that would not do; that
force was the only agency to be
depended on. 1 asked Low this
could be done without bloodshed. He said
that frequently happened in time of a
revolution; that if George Washington Lad
failed he would have been branded with
infamy; that crime, when successful, was
a welcome means of delivery, but when a
failure, those concerned in the
movement received obliquy. He said
there were men enough in Chicago in sym
pathy with this movement to take the
city. I asked him about the country at
large, and he replied that when Chicago
was taken the country at large would fall
into line. He also said that those in Chi
cago were ready to oppose any force that
1 could l)e brought to bear against them. He
I said the socialists here were organized and
! able to sweep away all opposition.”
| George VV. Shook, of Grand Rapids,
I Michigan, testified that Spies told him
I their secret organization numbered three
thousand in Chicago, and that
j they proposed to revolutionize
society in general ; that it was entirely
useless to attempt to better the laboring
classes by legislation. He remembered
Spies using the word explosives in connec
tion with their mode of warfare.

Special to Enquirer-Sun.
•Seale, Ala., July 19.—The oldest book
of county records in the clerk’s oliicc b iv
is the mmutes of the fail term of the cir
cuit court in 1833, which was probably tlu*
first circuit court ever held in t he county.
Tiie book contains many curious records
aud entries. The criminal, civil and ciian-
ccry business were all kept on the saim*
docket. Andersen Abercrombie was fore
man of the grand jury. Hon. Ptolemy T.
Harris was judge, Win. 1). Puckett, solic
itor; Thos. S. Tate, clerk, and Jxlwanl
Crowell, sheriff. ! notice on the minutes
where one man was fined f20*‘for becoming
intoxicated while acting as a grand juror."
Relow is an exact record of 011c case as
taken from the docket:
The .State* vs. James Emmerson et al. A
subpuma having issued for the said per
sons who were soldiers at Fort Mitchell. ■
under command of James J. McIntosh.and
Hit sheriff having proceeded to said fori
and applied to said McIntosh tor said na n,
the said McIntosh replied to him: “I'll be
damned if 1 give up a man," whereupon
a*i attachment for contempt of said court
has issued against said Meintosli.
Thu sheriff also made an affidavit to the
effect that “the power of the eoui.ty was
inadequate to take said men or scr.c pro
cess on them.” The case was for th»* mur
der of iLu’duinan Owens. Owens was
trading with the Indians without lice:: ,
and McIntosh sent out a detachment <>f
soldiers under Emmerson to arrest him.
When the soldiers arrived at Owens’ place
of business they found him at sup- .
per. They were invited to partake
of the meal. While the soldiers were eat - 1
ing Owens went down into the cellar' wlieiv
there was a quantity of powder and lighted
a fuse intending t»» blow up the house with
its occupants. His little game was discov
ered and the soldiers fired upon him, kill
ing him instantly. The next grand jury
found true bills against the soldiers, but as
the military powers were stronger than the
civil none of them were ever tried.
The annual celebration of the A. M. L.
.Sunday-school came off at Mount Zion
church Saturday. An interesting pro
gramme had been arranged and was car
