go up a hill we would slip off backward
over bis tail. Gloomy thoughts tilled my
mind for a minute, and I could almost see
stars before my eyes. The alarm was
noticeable upon my countenance, and
Uncle Isham consoled me by saying that if
old Beck should happen to get frightened
and jump headlong off the bridge, that
there was not any one to greive after me.
Realizing that he was correct, I placed my
foot in ms hand and leaped into the saddle
with almost the grace of an Indian prin
cess, Pochahontas, perhaps.
We were soo on our way over the roadn
up the lane, through the large plantation
gate, down through the corn in the flat
near the house, then through another gate,
which brought us out into the woods
where his tenants are settled. They live
in good, comfortable log houses; each fam
ily has a separate house to themselves,
where they have their gardens and chick
ens and horse lots, and springs and wash
tubs. They furnish and reed the labor and
work on halves. Mr. McMahon told me
that he always furnishes his hands, if it
was necessary, and reserved the right to
boss the fertilizing, planting, cultivating
and gathering of all the crops on his place.
He uses compost and phosphate.
Old Mrs. Shadrack is a remarkable lady.
She is eighty-odd years of age and can see
and hear as well as a girl. She had just
scoured her house all over herself, she said
because she did not want to pay to have it
done. I was told that she has money out
at interest, and has a plantation containing
six huudred acres. Her example is worthy
of imitation. As we returned home we
crossed High Log creek and rode up
through the beaver pond field. As
we rode along Uncle Isham entertained
us by telling us about the fun
he used to have catching the beavers and
tearing down the dams that they would
build, strong enough for cows to walk
across. He also delighted in chasing the
deer, fox and wild turkeys that inhabited
these woods. ,
He showed me land that is now in a high
state of cultivation that he had cleared
over forty years ago. On his brag spots he
will make from thirty to forty bushels of
corn to the acre, and a bale of cotton to
every one and three-fourths to two acres.
There are 800 acres in this plantation, 300
of which is a pasture for his cattle and
£ast Saturday we attended a colored
.Sunday school convention in the neigh
borhood. We arrived there about 1
o’clock. There were little tables scattered
around under the trees, spread with con
fectioneries for sale for the benefit of the
sohool. There was a long table complete
ly covered with black seed, red-pulped
watermelons cut in fancy shapes. It con-
ipating any political excitement until the
convention meets at LaFayette. Talla
poosa was almost the only county in the
district whose county convention passed
off harmonious and had no independents
in the field for county offices, which, we
think, entitles her to the nomination, espe
cially as she has offered two of her sons
who are the peers of any man in the dis
trict—men of fine legal ability and literary
culture.
We are now having some warm dry
weather, and if it continues much longer
will injure the crop prospect, whieh is
now very flattering, the upland corn crop,
however, is about made, and it is thought
to be the best made in the county for
years.
The prospect for a cotton crop is very
flattering at this time, but a good season
would be very acceptable now and would
greatly increase the prospect. Cotton is
about two weeks later in this section.
The hay season is now on hand and
large quantities of it is being saved. If
agreeable, more anon.

Hatchechcbbee, Ala., August 16.—
Judging from your liberal character and
extended circulation, you will not object
se.iously to a little salad from any point
where you have a number of admiring sub
scribers. By way of introduction, I will
say—as it seems not to have been men
tioned by any one before during this he uted
term—that it is hot. I say this at the risk
of its being called an innovation, or at the
risk of being mobbed for infringing or
usurping. The thermometer registers here
to-day at 10 a. m. 97, and is still on a
“tare,” and there is no telling where it
will stop. Some of the crops are begin
ning to wilt and to suffer from this scorch
ing sirocco, and unless they get rain in a
few days will suffer seriously.
It is the opinion already of some of the
best farmers that the cotton crop will be
short in this section. The continued rains
in the early part of the season drowned
out a quantity of the bottom lands so that
they could not be worked to any advan
tage (and some of them not at all, aud are
a perfect loss) until late, therefore can’t
hope for a full crop on them; and now the
high lands, in many instances, are falling
back, seemingly from exhaustion. It is a
fact that the caterpillars are getting to be

Seale, Ala., August 16.—It lias been so
warm for the past few days that your item-
izer has been unable to stir about as much
as usual, hence the scarcity of the “salad."
Everything is dull iiere, the only excite
ment being the gun club contest at Colum
bus to-morrow and the grand barbecue
here on the 20th. Our boys are confident
that Columbus will gut left. At thu last
practice shooting of the club hero A. B.
Waddell broke 18 out of a possible 20; li.
W. Waddell made the next best record,
breaking 17 hulls. The average for the en
tire club was 10 4-7. Your club will have
to heat this record to win. A largo crowd
from here will go up to witness tho shoot
ing. To both clubs I give Doc Bradley’s
advice, “hold your gun on ’em if you want
to break’em.” I will also usk the Beale
club to keep cool, but I don’t see how they
will manage to do this except they be able
to break all the thermometers iu town
with stray shot.
Messrs. Harry Hall, Cap Swift, Henry
Battle and Eugene Cranberry and ludy,
all Columbusites, spent Sunday here.
I (Mrs. Dawson and Miss Boykin, of near
Uchee, are visiting the family of Judge
O’Neal.
Dr. I. P. Cheney was unable to protract
his meeting at the Baptist church this
week, as he was unable to procure the
necessary ministerial assistance. Besides
t||iB, the weather is most too warm for a
meeting of this kind now.
Miss Beulah Dawson, of Uchee, who has
been the guest of the Misses Brinson in
Longview, returned home yesterday.
Col. A. G. Daniel, of Charlotte, N. C.,
spent Saturday aud Sunday with relatives
here.
In company with Major Hart Perry and
Mr. S. A. Tune I left on the morning train
yesterday for Hatchechubbee, where a
£ retracted meeting is in progress at the
iethodist church. The services are being
conducted by Rev. D. C. Crook, pastor,
assisted by Rev. Mr. Capps. The meeting
will probbbly continue several weeks.
Mr. Tune and myself were the guests of
that prince of good fellows, Charley Tail-
man, and his beautiful and accomplished
young wife. Charley has a beautiful home,
elegantly furnished and supplied with all
the modern conveniences and comforts.
He and his good lady certainly know how
to entertain their friends.
Hatchechubbee is a nice little town, aud
exhibits many evidences of prosperity. A
neat Methodist church has been recently
constructed, and a live and energetic com
mittee are now at work to build a Baptist
church, which will be done this fall.
Col. J. F. Tate, an accomplished educa
tor, has been elected principal of the
Hatchechubbee high school, the fall term
of which will commence on the 20th of this
mouth. The indications are that Col.
Tate will have a fine school.
A gentleman remarked to the scribe, “ I
notice that the reporters of the Enquirer-
Sun have been bragging about the crops
in some sectious of Russell county. I have
just returned from a trip down on the
Cowikee creek, where I saw the best crop,
I believe, in the county. It is that of Mr.
James Upshaw. He runs seventeen plows
and will make fifteen bales of cotton to the
plow and twenty-five bushels of corn to the
acre. This estimate is a safe one, as it was
made by competent judges, Capt. E. C.
Perry, of Glenville, and Capt. Cole, of
Spring Hill. Please write this to your pu-
per.” I have complied with the request
with pleasure.

The Baltimore Sun of Friday gives an
account of the marriage of Mr. Bradford
Dunham, the general manager of the Bal

Among the friends of Mr. Dunham who

Mr. Dunham is a native of Effingham or
one of the neighboring counties, and is

New York, August 16.—Mr. C. P. Hunt
ington was found by your corresponoen
to-day -it ins beautiful country residence a
Tnroggs Nuuk, and his attention called t
the sioiy that he had mi especial interest i
in seeing northern Mexico annexed by the
United Buttes. Air. Huntington expressed
his willingness to give his host information
on the subject.
“I( is alleged,” your correspondent be
gan, “the owners of land in northern Mcx-
100—Americans, English and others aru
conspiring to bring about a war between
Mexico and the United States with a view
of having that territory annexed to tills
country.”
“I know nothing of it,” said Mr. Hunt
ington. “1 am one of those that don't be
lieve in any such tiling. There are a good
many hard and desperate people on the
border who may, and no doubt do,
WISH FOR TROUBLE.
There are some speculating Americans
there who would not object to u tight,
having little or nothing to lose and some-
tiling, they think, to gain—much as a man
hopes the sky wouid fall that he might
catch lurks. But my impression, based
upon reliable information, is that the |
Mexicans, the men of standing, do not
desire any such tiling. As for the United
States, we hav e territory enough to take
care of without coveting that of other
nations.”
“You are interested in Mexican lands?”
“Yes; we have considerable lands there;
hut 1 am personally acquantid with Presi
dent Diaz, and I know Hint in regard to
t he present trouble he will do what is right.
He is reforming that country. Nobody
could do hotter Ilian ho is doing, and al
though it will take a long time and much
effort and hard work to educate thu Mexi
cans, he will accomplish it. His mind is
bent on it. When he resumed power this
last time there wasn't a dollar in the treas
ury and chaos reigned supreme, hut under
his conservative and judicious administra
tion affairs are gradually improving. One
of my agents in Mexico, who has been
there twenty-six years, a most intelligent
and observant ninn, tells me Hint t he im
provement Is very noticeable.”
“Whore is your latest land purchase lo
cated—said to be $000,600 worth ?”
“Not su much. Tiie Pacific Improve
ment company, of which I am a director,
purchased the Solidail estate, consisting of
about 230,000 acres for $-100,060 from Gen.
Naranjo. .The property is located in the
Sabinas valley through which runs the
Sabinas river, in the state of Coahuila.
The International railroad of Mexico, of
which I am thu president, runs nearly
through the middle of tiie valley, striking
the Sabinas river about seventy miles from
tiie Rio Grande and extending from Pie-
dras Negras to Bastangua. it is 190 miles
long—170 fully equipped and twenty
graded.”
“From the blustering and bravado of the
Mexicans at Paso del Norte, aud the offen
sive opposition they offer to American in
tercession in behalf of Cutting, it would
seem that they reckou upon aid from some
quarter it a struggle should eventuate.”
“My dear sir. three-quarters of the stuff'
that’s printed about this Cutting mutter is
unworthy of consideration. I am well
aware that there is
A STRONG PREJUDICE
existing among Mexicans on the border
against a certain class of Mexicans—those
marauders—and vice versa the feeling is
reciprocated.”
“What advantage could Mexican laud
owners hope to acquire through a war?”
“I really don’t know. I can’t see that it
would be any advantage. We bought lands
under tiie Mexican laws, and whether a
shifting of the border line would enhance
their valae or not 1 am unable to say; nor
has the question been discussed or enter
tained liy ns. We are content to hold it
under Mexican laws. I think if this gov
ernment would give Mexico a little moral
support it would make things easier on
both sides.”
“Do you know the feeling among the
English holders of Mexican lands?”
“I have no means of knowing, but the
chances are that from their political stand
point they would prefer to hold under
Mexican laws, and hence I cannot see why
they should favor a war with the United
States. We have had some difficulties with
the Mexicali customs authorities and have
been obliged to pay excessive charges, hut
when we applied to their higher courts
for adjudication we always received fair
treatment. I have as much confidence in
the high Mexican courts as I have in tiie
American courts, perhaps a little more.
Their magistrates and other lower courts
are undeserving confidence—much like
ours.”
“Is it true that the railroad employes in
Mexico have been
SUPPLIED WITH ARMS
to resist the Mexicans?”
“I can speak for our men on the inter
national railroad. Our agent informs me
that the men asked for arms to defend the
property in case of trouble. My reply to
him was that the matter in dispute—re
lating to Cutting and Itasures—was to lie
settled by the two governments and that
the question of defending the property
would not be further entertained at pres
ent.”
“Was your purchase in the Sabinas val
ley made conditionally—contingent upon
war, or continued peace?”
“No. There seems to he a wrong im
pression abroad about the Mexicans; bor
der rowdyism, or better, ruffianism, un
fortunately finds champions who spread
broadcast lying reports showing the total
depravity of the Mexican and extolling
the virtue of the fellows on this side.
Why, in Mexico we havej hud less trouble
than anvwhere else, in any way that we
can utilize a Mexican we do il, and give
him the preference in Mexico to an
American. We keep on good terms with
tiie people and our rights are recognized.
A great many of our people believe that
others have not as much right as they and
that’s the source of most of our trouble.”

say: Trading was again very light aud apparent
ly considerable hesitation, even among local
scalpers, until the receipt of buying orders P un
New Orleans induced a steadier fouling, and re
covering from the weakening tone rates at the

cially on late months, and pretty well supported.

most responsive to stimulating influences
