Post-Appeal: ‘ Information ha3 been re
ceived in this city of the capture of the
famous outlaw, w iley Redding, in Mississippi,
“is subsequent escape. It appears
that, a few days ago, a negro was arrested in
a Mississippi town for robbing the mail. The
author ties could find cut nothing about the
prisoner except that he claimed to be one John
Thomas. In a short time, however, he wrote
a letter to a colored woman in Atlanta, asking
her to send him some money. This fact and a
faithful description of the criminal was at
once forwarded to Atlanta and it became ap
parent from the description and from the
fact that the woman written to was Wiley
Redding’s sister, that the prisoner was no less
a peisonsge than the notorious Wiley
Redding himself. Later intelligence states
that Wiley has escaped, and his whereabouts
are not now known. He is certainly one of
the most desperate and dangerous criminals
that ever baffled the police of this or any other
city. He is one of the very cirminals
who have succeeded in escaping from the
Dade Coal Mines, and richly deserves hing
ing.”
Tboma*,ville Enterprise: “Some time last
July, Duncan McMillan, an industrious colored
min, went off to work on the railroad. His
wife consented that a colored woman named
should take a little daughter of Duncan's,
about twelve years of age, but very small for
her years, with her to wbere she lived on the
plantation of Messrs. H J. & A. T. Mclntyre.
Very shortly after the child got there—not
more than two or three weeks —she was seen
going down the road towards Monticello, and
the woman, , after her, and calling to
some others to catch the child, which, however,
none of them did. as they thought she had been
badly treated. The woman followed the child
off, and returning some time afterwards
said that she could not catch
her. She sent word to the
child’3 mother some weeks afterwards that the
child had run away. Duncan came home as
soon as he could, but.haviog a large family de
pen-lent on his labors, he did not get hack till
some few weeks ago. Since his return be has
made diligent search for the child without
avail. He has walked all around through that
portion of the county, but so far cannot find a
trace of his child. He says she was not very
bright for her years, and could not possibly
have gone away so as not to be heard of with
out direction and assistance. He is too poor to
pay detectives to woik up the case, but is most
anxious for any information that will lead to
the discovery of the fate of the child ”
Griffin .Vetes: “One of the most lovely places
In Braiding county is the carp pond of Mr. A.
A. Wright in north Griffin. Those of our read
ers who have never visited it can form little
idea of its beauty. Mr. Wright, who is a genius
in everything, has devoted to the improve
ment of this place his best skill ani energies.
We must confess to some neglect in not giving
more prominence to an enterprise that has at
tracted so much attention and favorable com
ment in Georgia, and which has even filled
columns in influential Western papers. The
pond covers an area of nearly an acre and is
supplied with water by a large, bold spring
that boils up in the centre, and water conveyed
by underground pipes from a number of
springs several hundred feet distant. The
dam is constructed in the best manner, being
f flanked up on the inside of the best heart pine
iimb r, with clay backing, on which is planted
Bermuda grass Inside the pond, near one
corner, is a dry well eight feet in diameter and
ten feet deep, octagon shaped, at the bottom
of which is a large hydrau’ic engine or ram
that forces water through pipes all over the
residence of Mr. Wright, where it is used for
the various purposes needed, kitchen, bath
room, etc., keeping up a constant fiow
of water without the use of tanks or
reservoirs, having the same pres-ure of
an elevated tank thirty feet high and also
keeping a beautiful fountaia continu
ally playing seven jets of water fifteen feet
high. Around the top of the dry well is a
strainer or seive of wire cloth made to order
in New York, through which the waste water
escapes from the pond (thereby preventing the
escape of the smallest carp), thence from tha
bottom through a waste pipe which conveys
all surplus water and waste from the pond and
rani ixvo large weeping willows stand in the
centre on two islands built octagon shaped and
sodded with blue grass. The willows are the
lai'gest and hsndsomest in the county and are
exceedingly ornamental. Around the pond,
on the dam, are other large weeping willows,
which make the place look cool and pleasant.
On the upper side are planted a row of mag
nolias and weeping willows, and in the pond,
spread on the surface, blooms the beautiful
yellow water lilies, yellow iotus. curcutian
recurrata, calladium esculantums, and a
variety of other ornamental aquatic plants.
In the depths of the pond swim the largest and
finest carp in the State, ranging in size from
tha tiny ones to those 23 and 24 inches in
length. Of all sizes, there are a million of
carp in the pond, and in them a very hand
some profit for Mr. Wright.”

A LARUE PART OF THE ANCIENT
CITY IN ASHES.
The Fire Brigade Powerless—lUany
Street* Swept Clear ol Building*—
Untold Confusion and Thrilling
Sight*—The Los* Put at Fully Two
Million*.
Quebec, June 9. —One of the most disas
trous fires which this unfortunate city has
been afflicted with commenced last night,
and was only got under control at 6 o’clock
this morning. The first alarm was from the
corner of St. Oliver and Bt. Claire streets, at
ten minutes before 11 o’clock. A few
minutes later the bells from the Basilica of
St. John’s and St. Roch’s church rang out a
second alarm, and tbe whole force of the
fire brigade was soon upon the ground. The
reflection of the flames was so visible
that ln a short time half of the city
appeared to be attracted to the
scene, and by half-past 11 o’clock all
the avenues around and leading to the fire
were so completely packed with people that
It was next to impossible to force a way
through them. The scene In the vicinity of
the Cor llagratlon was one of utter confusion.
Half of those present seemed panic stricken,
and three fourths of the others only added
to the confusion by running against each
other, and really contributing to the de
struction of property, while believing they
were helping to save it. Parents, partially
clothed, harried along ln every direction,
with infants wrapped in bed clothing, ln
their arms. Cows and horses, let loose from
burning stables, rushed, half maddened,
through the crowds, or stood, dazed by the
uproar and confusion surrounding them.
The fire originated in a stable on Bt. Oli
ver street, near St. Marc street. The flames
quickly spread to the surrounding wooden
buildings and to the streets above and be
low Bt. Oliver. Lstourelle, Bt. Marc and
Richelieu streets were quickly a mass of
fire for some hundred feet of each in ex
tent, the flames from either side of the
streets overlapping in the middle and com
pletely closing them to all traffic.
Scenes common to all great fires were
readily discernible. At this stage even the
police and firemen weie to a great extent
demoraLzed. Daring roberbles were carried
on freely In full sight of everybody. L'quor
stores and private dwellings attacked
by the flames were ransacked for
liquor, which was openly drunk by
the low characters who infest the locality.
The sparks, which everywhere flew from the
burning wooden buildings, were in them
selves a terrible source of danger to the rest
of the city. It was no uncommon sight to
see men’s coats and hats ablaze from burn
ing pieces of shingles which lighted upon
them.
The fire brigade allege that four wooden
houses were found on fire by them when
they arrived upon the scene, and that, with
water absent and unattainable for some
twenty minutes, it was impossible for them
to obtain the mastery. Nothing was saved
of B*. John’s Church but tbe sacred vessels
and some of the most valuable ot tbe plate
and furniture of tbe sanctuary. The Are
bad possession of the noble s’ructure iti
almost a less space of time than
Ic takes to read of it, and the
finest and largest church ln the city
was doomed to destruction. The church
was worth at least SIOO,OOO, upon which the
Insurance amounts to only SIO,OOO. At the
foot of Jupiter street, below Berthlot Mar
ket, tbe flames had crossed from the lower
sides of 8t John street, and from this point
they rapidly progressed westward along that
fine avenue, keeping pace with the other
division of the conflagration opposite.
Nor was the fire now conflued to St. John
street. At Jupiter street it spread south
ward to Berthlot Market place, destroying
property on Gabriel and St. Patrick streets,
as far out as there were buildings to be de
stroyed. The lower field alone stayed
the progress of the fire. At Scott 6treet the
fire ran upwards toward Grand Allee at a
terrible rate of speed, there being no water,
men, hose nor other appliances to stay it.
Only the gap caused by the recent confla
gration here stopped the total destruction
of the whole street.
It is impossible to describe the spread of
the Dunes on every side. Briefly summed
up, the streets consumed are: Running east
and west in the Richmond part,principally on
the South Side, Latourelle, St. Oliver, Riche
lieu, Daguillon and St. John’s ward, in
Montcalm, St. Gabriel, Norvelle and Breton.
Running north and south tbe principal
streets were Southerland, Dellgny, St. Clair,
St. Marc and St. Genevieve, on the West
Side, besides Jupiter street, in Montcalm
ward, also on the We6t Side. Amongst the
property destroyed on St. John street were
a large number of handsome buildings used
as stores and private residences. The Bat
tery was called out, and rendered efficient
service in saving property and In keeping
order.
It. is computed that there must be a loss
of #2,000,000 between buildings, stock and
furniture. Over 1,500 families are rendered
homeless by the conflagration. At least 800
buildings have been destroyed. It is im
possible to give a full and correct list of the
sufferers and Insurance losses at the mo
ment, but all the insurance companies doing
business in tbe city will probably be heavy
losers. The lire brigade and apparatus was
quite unfit to cope with such a fire, and to
Us weakness and the wretched water service
the whole disaster is due.

Charleston, 8. C., June 9 —The special
election held to day in the Second Congres
sional district, to fill the vacancy caused by
the death ot Congressman O’Connor, passed
off quietly, Samuel Dibble, the Democratic
candidate, being elected without opposi
tion. The Republicans abstained from
voting od tbe theory that Mackey, O Con
nor’s opponent, was really elected last fall,
and that therefore no vacancy existed. The
attitude of the Repubiicans had the fleet
of making the vote no more than one-third
of the usual Democratic vote. As far as
known to night ihe rertilt is the same

Chicago, June 9. — A mall pouch robbery
Occurred here last night. The pouch,which

was put ln a mail wagon at the depot, was
missing when the wagon arrived at the office,
and the back door of the wagon was un

this robbery, which may give aid to the star

New Mexican Outlaw* Punished.
Denver, Col , June 9.—A special to the

shot the proprietor twice, probably fatally.
The latter returned the fire and the ruffians
fled. A lynching party was immediately
organized and atarted In pursuit. Knowles
was shot dead and Coonsra was captured

Cork, June 9. —Many of the bayonets
with which the marines charged the crowd
at Ballydehob were broken. Tbe people
assembled on the top of a steep hill at one
end of Ballydehob. The soldiers thought
to fight their way through, and some of
them hurled stones at the people. Quiet
ness having been restored at Sklbbereen one
hundred troops were about to quit, when a
portion of the rails was found cut up. A
later telegram from Sklbbereen represents
that the town is again excited. The military
are quartered Id the town hall. The magis
trates have issued a proclamation prohibit
ing the opening of liquor shops at night
after 6 o’clock, until J une 15.
London, June 9. —The Standard's Rome
correspondent says: “The Pope is much
impressed by the active participation of the
Irish clergy in the land agitation despite
his express injunction. He has laid the
matter before the congregation for extra
ordinary ecclesiastical affairs in order to
recall the disobedient Bishops to duty.”
In the House of Coipinons to-day Sir
Wm. Harcourt, Home Secretary, replying
to a question by Lord Bpencer Churchill,
Conservative member for Woodstock, said
the newspaper reports of the occurrences at
Skull and Skibbereen are much exaggera
ted, and that nothing serious had occurred
within the last twenty-six hours.
Sir Chas. Wentworth Dllke, Under For
eign Secretary, replying to a question by
Mr. MaeFarland, Liberal, said that, as the
provisions of tbe treaty of Washington, un
der which the Americans enjoyed the privi
lege of fishing in the British colonial waters,
could not, in any case, expire before 1885,
the government was not at present in a po
sition to consider the expediency of termi
nating the treaty as far as It relates to the
fishery question.
Another arrest has been made under the
coercion act near Macroom, county Cork.
The people at Skull, county Cork, have
hoisted a green flig on a pole and stationed
an armed guard In from, of Father Mur
phy’s.
Mr. Forster, Chief Secretary for Ireland,
telegraphs from Dublin that the rumor that
tbe government intended to arrest Father
Murphy was entirely unfounded. Such re
ports, he save, are tricks to excite the peo
ple.
The Times, ln its leading article on the
reassembling of Parliament, calls attention
to the practical paralysis of public business,
and points out that only a few weeks re
main for the passage of the land bill through
the House of Commons, unless it is to be
sent to tbe House of Lords so late that they
will have to choose between the responsi
bility of Its rejection and passing it without
discussion.
In the House of Commons to-day a mo
tion by Mr. Monke (Liberal), member for
Gloucester city, that no commercial treaty
with France will be satisfactory which does
not reduce duties, was carried by a vote of
77 to 49.
Sir Charles W. Dilke, Under Foreign Sec
retary, in the debate said he agreed almost
entirely with the terms of the motion, but
strongly deprecated its being pressed at
present.
Cork, June 9, 9.30 p. m—A furious riot
is now in progress. Mr. Stokes, a magis
trate, has been severely lujured and three
policemen have been badly wounded. The
mounted police charged the mob and several
pertons were hurt.
Limerick, June 9 — Eight suspected per
sons, belonging to Skull and Skibbereen,
have been arrested under the Viceroy’s
warrant and conveyed to jail here. Tbe

Mahoney, the farmer, who was killed at the
recent riot at Bodike, county Clare, died
from being struck by a policeman, at present

to pay him if he would vote for Chauncey
M. Depew Instead of Mr. Platt, which sum
he had handed over to the Speaker. He
thewfore asked for a committee of investi

THE HENLEY REGATTA.
The Cornell Crew to Row for ihe
Stewards’ Cap.
London, June 9 —Mr. Tl'ley attended a
meeting of the stewards of the Henley re
gatta to-day. They have passed a resolu
tion as follows:
Resolved, That the entry of the Cornell
University crew be provisionally accepted
to compete for the stewards’ cup, subject
to their fulfilling the conditions imposed on
all foreign crews and subject, to any objec
tions that may be made by any competitor.
The affair Is thus decided in favor of the
admission of the Cornell four. The stewards
were most courteous, and appear anxious to
remove any unpleasant feeling. Tbe Corßell
crew will arrive at Henley at 6:30 p. m. to
day. The resolution has already been tele
graphed to them. They will row only for
the stewards’ cup, and not for the visitors’
plate. Toe conditions of the latter race
ccnrain certain provisions concerning the
leugth of residence at college, etc , which
will probably preclude them from partici
pation.

■Washington, June B.—There is to be anew
feature in Washington journalism in the shape
of an afternoon paper, in rivalry with the Star.
The Star has long been, and still is, the lead
ing paper of Washington, both in the point of
news and the money that comes into the cof
fers of the owners. The morning papers are
in most respects later editions of the Star.
But the strong point in favor of it has perhaps
been the fact that it has always kept aloof
from jobbery. It has thus, untrammelled,
been able to expose jobbers and their schemes
as the occasion has required. There is no use
talking: the people can tell without having to
hear it that a newspaper is open to corruption,
Succumbing to the inlinuxting offers of job
bers and lobbyists, is the whole se
cret of the reputation that the city
of Washington has acquired as a
national graveyard for newspaper enterprise.
The amusing and imbecile National Re%mbli
can is now languishing on its last legs because
the people will not support a concern run in
the interest of the star route thieves. The
Post, which assumes to be a national organ of
the Democracy, does not get support enough
to iasure its living from one month to the
other When the latter paper first started
here it secured unusual support for anew en
terprise. It was full f news. It soon became
apparent.however.to tbe most unsophisticated
that its columns were open to any job
bery or thievery, the managers of which would
come down with the lucre. The paper deceiv
ed outsiders for a time, and even deceives
some of them now, but the resi
denters of Washington have, by expe
rience, learned the earmarks of journalistic
prostitution. They do not support the Post
The consequence is that it has deteriorated
from the first six mon hs of its birth, ana it is
now a wonder as to how it manages to live. I
started out, however, by saying that anew
afternoon paper was to be started. That is not
exactly the truth. It is an old afternoon paper
under anew management. For the past ten
years the Washington Critic has been published
every afternoon. It was a penny paper, aDd
catered to the people who did not want to pay
three cents for the Star. Under the manage
ment of Carpenter Miller, a close friend of the
writer, it made about ten thousand dollars a
year clear, and got along very well. Miller
was ;he best newspaper manager that I ever
saw in my life But his paper was no rival to
the Star, which scoops in a clear annual profit
of about fifty thousand dollars Poor Mr.
Miller died about a y -arago. Since then the
Critic has gone down. The Star has been
hunting down and publishing to the world the
star route thieves and the Treasury stealers.
The Republican, owned and controlled by the
star route thieves, has been defending both.
The Post, implicated in the star route jobbery,
though a Democratic paper, has been tongue
tied and dare not call its soul its own. Not being
able to head off or refute the Star's publica
tions and expos ires, the gang of thieves who
run the Republican have decided to establish
an afternoon paper in opposition to it and try
to break up its business. They have purchased
the Critic ror this purpose. Brady and Hallet
Kilbourn. of the old District of Columbia real
estate pool, are the promtuent figures of the
new paper, with one A. C. Buell
as horn-blower. Buell used to be
a Democratic newspaper correspondent
of some alleged weight aud prominence (also
alleged). He sold out, or rather was bought
very cheap by the star route thieves, and is
now one of them. He is to edit the
new Critic, which is o be anti-Star and anti
administration. Allow me to remark that it
will be a remarßably cold day in July when
either the Star or the administration is in the
smallest degree affected by tli3 new corrup
tionist organ.
THE SOUTHERN OFFICE-SEEKER.
Many Southern Republicans called on Presi
dent Garfle and very soon after he was inaugu
rated and kept it up until the Senate ad
journed. They all had their little axes, and in
tne most polite terms asked that the President
grind them. After the Senate adjourned,
and) the Southern Republicans were not
provided for by nominations, a gloom fell over
them. A few remained on hand to bother and
disturb tbe President, but the majori y de
camped and left the field to other office hun
ters. Now I see the Southern Republican no
more haunting the White House or the de
partments He sees that there is not much
chance for him. He has left the field for Re
publicans of other States. Only th Republi
cans, however, in the contiguous States fall
upon ilia President. In tbe absence of mem
bers of Congress or their recommendation the
' President is not making any appointments or
changes to speak < f Therefore it is a very
useless expenditure for Republicans from any
of the outlying States to come here and bother
him.
THE PARDONING POWER.
The Ilayes administration pardoned convicts
from the penitentiaries by the wholesale. The
average per month was between 30 and 40. It
seemed that Hayes and Devens had decided
upon that monthly figure. Just before Hayes
went out, the friends of United States convicts,
knowing his weakness, filed thousands of ap
plications for pardon upon the Department of
Justice. They have kept it up during the
present administration, but not with any en
couraging success. President Garfield and At
torney General MacVeagh do not pay one iota
of the attention to applications for pardons
that was shown by their predecessors. Of the
thousands of aopiications that have been filed
since the 4th of March last only four have been
granted. Upon the basis of the last adminis
tration at least one hundred and twenty par
dons would have been issued by this time.
WEST POINT AND ANNAPOLIS.
Washington “society” runs wild over the
army aud navy. To capture an army or navy
officer, no matter how low his rank, is what
the young women of “society” are trained to
try for in a matrimonial way. That best
illustrates the feeling of “society” towards the
two professions mentioned. Naturally the
young ladies prefer the young men; therefore
they' “dote” upon the cadets at Annapolis and
West Point. For this reason we are about to
be deserted, for a short time at least, by what
remnant of “society” the summer has
left us. That remnant has been on the qui
vive about the commencement exercises which
take place at Annapolis and VVest Point on the
10th, for some weeks past. It has been getting
ready for either one or the two events, and
tbe hegira will commence to-morrow. Then
we will not for some days have even the rem
nant of ‘ society” left us. What we are to do I
cannot tell Will somebody plea e pray for us
in our affliction? Potomac.
WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA.
The Tourists’ Country—The Inva
lid*’ Retreat.
Hendersonville, N. C., June B.—Editor
Morning Xeivs: Thß summer saason has open
ed, and doubtless many persons from the
“Forest City” will ’ere long seek some cooler
clime. As but very few from the seaboard of
Georgia have as yet visited our section, I have
taken the liberty of addressing you this com
munication, in the hope of attracting the at
tention, both of tourists and health seekers, to
the “Land of the Sky.”
There is no section of country on the Ameri
can continent that can excel western North
Carolina as a summer climate, either for
health or comfort. It is here that the tourist
in quest of pleasure can satiate his desire,
while the invalid, enfeebled by disease, can re
cuperate with a rapiiity truly astonishing.
The altitude ot Hendersonville is 2,852 feet
above the ocean, tbe air cool and braciDg, the
water ice cold and free from the slightest par
ticle of limestone. r l he city, like Augusta, is
laid out at right angles and is beautified by
rows of trees in the centre and on either s de
of the principal street.
Passengers for the mountains on reaching
Spartanburg, S. C., take the train on the Ashe
ville and Spartanburg Railroad for Henderson
ville (the present terminus), and arrive at seven
o'clock. Along this line tbe traveler rests hU
eyes on the most sublime landscape in Ameri
ca. The view of Tryon Mountain from the
cars as they ascend the 1 steep grade 1 ’ of two
hundred and thirty-seven feet to the mile is
especially imposing, and, by long odds, sur
passes any scenery that I ever beheld in the
Eastern or Middle States, not excepting that
on the Hudson river.
On reaching the city tbe traveler finds the
most ample hotel accommodations, at the most
reasonable rates, offered by the American, the
Virginia, the Arlington, CBSse’s Globe, and the
Fletcher House. The latter, while pcssessing
a less pretentious name than the rent, is
superbly kept, Jcs proprietor. Dr. J. L. Eger
ton, in its equipment, having bad no other ob
ject in view gave the comfort of his guests.
The fare in the mountains is of the very best,
and the richest of milk and best of butter can
be found in abundance.
The gtreaaifi in this section abound in moun
tain trout, and the industrious sportsman, by
journeying twenty-five or thirty miles to the
“Balsam Mountains,” ran get a shot at a bear
or deer. Western North Carolina offers every
inducement to sqmmer travelers for the geasnh
of ISSI, and heartily invites them to come
within her borders, assuring all who may do
so that they will never regret their visit to this
“the Land of the Sky.” “Julian.”
Tbe New York Stock Market.
New York, June 9.—The stock market
opened generally firm, and at the first board
prices showed an advance of 6 per cent, in

During the afternoon the market was ex
tremely dull, but in the late dealings a fair
degree of activity prevailed, and the closing
quotations were ln moat instances within a
small fraction of the top figures. Canada
Southern was an exception, and closed at a
decline of % per cent. Louisville and New
Albany recorded a farther advance of 4 per
cent., making an improvement on the day

which show an increase ln the acreage
planted estimated at 3 per cent, as compared
with last year. One hundred of these re
plies report the weather more favorable
than last year, sixteen report similar weather
to last year, and ninety five report the
weather as less favorable. Ninety-two re
port stands good or fair, and twenty
nine not good. The crop as reported
will average sixteen days later than
last year. Fifty-two replies give
the condition of the crop as good and
seventy-four as not good, owing to too
much rain, the crops being grassy and
weedy. There is general complaint of
scarcity and inefficiency of labor caused by
the hands going to the different railroads
now in course of cons'ruction in the State.
No fertilizers are used. A. few rt plies re
port the appearance of rise cotton worm,
but not in sufficient number to do any
damage.
Mobile, June 9. —The Cotton Exchange
has issued the following cotton crop report
for May:
Alabama— Seventy-four letters from for
ty four counties report the acreage com

teen less productive counties there is an
average increase of 5% per cent. The
weather is reported equal to the most fa
vorable in fifty six counties, and
less favorable in eight. Stands are
reported from fair to good
ln thirty seven counties, and not good in

nineteen about the same, and in seven from
ten to fifteen days earlier. The condition
is from fair to good throughout tbe depart
ment. Labor is reported about tbe same,
except in eleven productive counties, in
whicn it is reported as less in number and
not so efficient. The nse of fertilizers has
generally Increased. In some counties cut
worms and defective seed are complained
of. the latter having made replanting neces
sary in many cases.
Mississippi —Thirty-five letters from twen
ty counties report the acreage as follows:
In five of the most productive count.l3B no
change in average. In fifteen of the less pro
ductive counties an average increase of 4 per
cent. The weather is reported more favor

able lu three and less favorable in
four counties. Stands are reported from
fair to very good In about two of the smaller
counties. In ten counties the crop is re

ten about the same. The condition is from
fair to good in thirteen counties, and poor
and grassy In seven. Labor is reported as
less in number but equally efficient in most
of the counties, and the same as last year in
others. The use of fertilizers has largely
Increased in the eight counties in which they
are U6ed, and in the other twelve counties
they arc but little used. There is some lit
tle complaint of cut worms injuring the
stands.
Augusta, Ga., June 9. —The Augusta

cotton crop for May is based on twenty two
replies from thirteen counties. There is an
average increase of about 2>£ per ceDt. The
weather was very dry everywhere from
about April 20 to May 28. Fifteen reports
state it as less favorable, five as the same
as last year, and only two as
more favorable. Since May 28 rains
have been general. StaDds are good
wherever cotton came up well, which is
generally the case with the early planting.
Some had to be replanted. Of this a mod
erate percentage was not uo yet, but can do
well with favorable weather. One report
only gives the crop as earlier, two as the
same, and all the others as later than last
season. Tbe condition Is good and healthy,
though the plant is rather small, being
stunted in growth by the continued
dry weather. The fields are clean
and free of grass and weeds. Labor is re
ported to be fully as good as last year, and
in some sections as even more efficient.
Nine reports give the quantity of fertilizers
used a the same as last year, ten give an
increase ranging from 5 to 25 per cent., and
three reported a decrease. The average in
crease will , hardly exceed even If it
reaches 5 per cent, owing to the
coniluued dry weather, which badly baked
all strong clay lands. Some planters had
not quite finished planting at the date of
reports. Owiog to some cause some lands
intended for cotton were never planted.
Some, as stated, were replanted, where,
from the lack of moisture, the seed failed
to germinate. The rains, though general
since May 28th, have not been heavy.
While the crop is undoubtedly later than
last year It is fully up to the average years.
There is no doubt but that about 15 per
cent, of commercial fertilizer was brought
into and made in this State and were
shipped to distributing points, but there is
a sood deal now at the depots unsold. The
planters and farmers as a rule have com
menced the season under very unfavorable
conditions. For two years past the cereals
and subsistence crops have virtually failed
and are not very promising this year.
The result is that much money has been
spent for provisions of all kinds, and the
sales of corn and hay this spring to supply
the country have exceeded those of the
past three years together, ln some sections
farm stock is running down for want of
proper nourishment, and more applications
have been refused here by manufacturers
last winter and spring for advances to plant
ers than for several years past.
Norfolk, Ya , June 9 —Following is the
report of the condition of the cotton crop
made by the Exchange and compiled from
seventy-nine replies from thirty-four coun
ties in North Carolina and Virginia, the
average date being May 81. Twenty-four
show the same acreage a6 last year.
Fifty-five show an average increase of 13 16
per cent, over the acreage of last
year. Thirty seven show less favorable
weather, and eleven show the same weather
as last year. Thirty eight report fair to
good stands, twenty one poor to bad, and
ten the same as last year. Sixty show the
crop to be eleven days later than last year,
thirteen report it nine days earlier, and
twenty five about the same as last year.
Forty three report the condition of the
crop good, nineteen fair, and seven
teen poor. The general tenor of the
replies shows that labor has decreased slight
ly in number and is not so efficient as of
late years. Strenuous efforts are being
made la some sections to induce Immigra
tion, and thus offset the depreciation In
labor. An average of twenty-four replies
shows an increase Of 18 per cent, in fertili
zers over last year, thirty-three an increase
and only eleven the same amount used as
last year. Nine show a decrease ln the
amount used. The cold, dry weather in the
latter part of May retarded tbe growth of
the plant somewhat. Chopping out is de
layed bv the scarcity and inefficiency of
labor. Reports of worms come from two
counties, and hail storms are reported by
two counties.
Letter from South Florida.
Marion County, June 5 —Editor Morning
News: Not seeing any news in your paper from
this little village, I have concluded to send yqu
a few lines. We have a very pretty (xmntyyand
gome nice orange groves started. Some of our
people are reaping benefits from their labors
But we have one serious drawback, the want
of transportation. We live within about sevpq
or eight miles of Orange Lake, bat freight
sent to Philadelphia i* eight to ten days in
reaching that place.
Our farmers went into truck farming pretty
heavy this season, and I am sorry to say that
not one out of ten realized money enotigfc to
pay for gathering and boxing his' vegetables.
Th* outlook is very gloomy, as many did not
plant “king ootton,” and the corn crop is now
cut short by the drouth. It has been about six
or seven weeks since we have had rain enough
to moisten the ground. If we do not have raffi
soon there will not be any corn made in our
immediate section, as it is now in full silk and
tassel. What little cotton was planted is look
ing well. We have a most desirable locality
for truck faro ing. having plenty of high, dry,
rich lands, but until something is done to give
us quick and cheap transport .tion we cannot
make it pay. B*.z.

THE SOUTH’S OPPORTUNITY.
i Object* and Scope of the Internation*
al Cotton Exposition—A New Era
of Progress and Prosperity About
to Open.
Nashville American.
Marietta, Ga., Jane 4.—The Interna
tional Cotton Exposition, to commence on
the sth of October, 1881, at Atlanta, Ga.,
was the result of an interview between the
business men of the North and the South,
! and is meant as a great national fair. At
lanta, becanse of its central location, and
its facilities of approach and accommoda
tions for visitors, was selected as the most
fitting point for this fair, or exposition.
There was nothing selfish in the choice, as
is apparent from the readiness of the cities
of the North in their liberal subscriptions of
money in its aid. Nor was it intended sole
ly for the benefit of the cotton interests, but
as cotton is the great Industrial interest of
the South, It was deemed proper that it
should have the name of that great staple.
To the acute perceptions of the business
men of the North, its Immense agency in
promoting the Interests of all sections and
all interests was palpable, and they entered
with alacrity into the scheme. These men
are ambitious to promote the general wel
fare, they are men of liberal views and en
larged patriotism, and see clearly that the
Interests of the South are the interests of
the nation, and desiring, as much as in their
power, to aid the South in building up of
her broken fortunes, not only consented,
but desired that this Exposition should
be located in the heart of the S>uth,
and considering all its advantages for
such an enterprise, selected Atlanta.
There was another motive; here could,
and probably would be assembled the great
est number of the business men and plant
ers of the South, and through this means
the benefits to be derived to the South
would be more extensively disseminated,
which was so much desired. It would most
likely bring into closer communication the
North, West and South, where and when
might be discussed the great practical in
terests of all sections, and their people be
come better known to each other; where,
too, in their exhibits, might be seen the re
sults of the experience of every section in
the machinery, implements, and manufac
turesof each.
In thus organizing this Exposition it was
the desire of every one to benefit the South,
and by enlarging the intercourse between tbe
people of all the sections. Every Southern
man will admit that the great Interest of
the South is the production of cotton, and
that interest is greatly periled by the pre
sent system of its production. Whoever has
read that masterly address of President
Morehead before the National Cotton Plan
ters’ Association, at Memphis, will at once
recognize their peril. He demonstrates that
as we increase the quantity we reduce price,
and, of consequence, the per cent, upon
the capital invested in its production, and
shows that a crop of 8,000,000 bales would
so reduce the prices that it would notj pay
1 per cent, upon the capital. Such a state
of affairs would confine the South to per
petual poverty. It must be abandoned or
else the Southern planter, as now constitu
ted, must surrender his country and home
to a superior intelligence, which will to
manage this mine of wealth as to make it
all that it can be made. A higher and more
economical Intelligence must lay bold upon
it and develop Its wonderful capacitlep.
Cannot those now engaged In this indus
trial pursuit be taught that tbis is the ob
ject mainly of this international exhibition
of the appliances of agriculture and the
arts.
When the higher intelligence of the coun
try are in council with the specimens of
every industry before them, will there not
be eliminated such truths as shall enlighten
and lead to the adoption of such means as
will greatly change the present ruinous
system of agricultue to tbe Bouth? The
great mass of tbe Southern people are agri
culturists; it is her great interest, and Intel ,
ligently directed is destined to make her
people the most prosperous and most pow
erful of the nation. It is especially in her
interest that the International Exposition
was conceived, and she Is kindly invited to
give all tbe aid she can in making this
great effort in her cause a success, and
from which shall be dated the commence
ment of anew era in her history.
New industries are beginning to claim
the attention of the enterprising men of
the BoUth. To develop these, capital is re
quired—the North has this in abundance.
It only needs to be shown that its invest
ment in Southern industries will be more
profitable than in those of the North, and
that it will be safe to induce Its rapid In
flux. The proits from the manufacture of
cotton goods are known to be greater here
than in any other section, and it is being
stimulated to active growth. The aceu
mulating capital of the North Is finding its
way in this direction, and in the building of
new railroads. Every section of the
South is being pierced with these, where
there is promise of employment for them
of such a character as will ultimately make
the Investment pay. The vast resources of
the South in mineral wealth only need to
be known to be appreciated and developed.
The States of Georgia, Alabama, South and
North Carolina, Arkansas, Missouri,Tennes
see and Texas are all rich in iron, copper,
zinc and gold, abounding in the finest timber
for all the purposes of man’s use. Here is the
finest water power in the Union.to be utilized
at the least expense. The climate Is pro
pitious and healthful, and every inducement
exists to Invite population and capital.
This is only to be known to secure this, and
to this end no means are so effectual as
those which will prompt investigation. It
is believed this great Southern fair, or ex
position, will do this, because there will be
on exhibition specimens of all these min
erals and woods of the country to demon
strate their existence here in the greatest
abundance.
The time is especially propitious. There
is abroad a spirit of enterprise. The ani
mosities created by the war are fast passing
away. Every-one is beginning to feel that
the whole country Is theirs, and that the
Interest of one is the interest of all, and
that every person and every Interest is
equally protected everywhere. Money Is
abundant, begging for emplovmeut, and
enterprise is seeking for this. It is the ob
ject of the International Cotton Exposition
to promote this, by bringing together those
wl o will Impartially appreciate these
great advantages of the 8 >uth, and who
will lay hold upon and develop them.
No section is so much interested In this
enterprise as the South; her need Is a divis
ion of pursuits, that all may equally pros
per andno one be overdone, and of con se
quence ruined. She wants tbe development
of her resources to augment her wealth and
population, to create capital and to keep
and to employ it here, not only to save the
millions employed, but to employ their
earnings here as a part of her wealth. The
statistics of the country show that whilst
the cotton planter accumulates from
the growth of cotton ten dollars, the
manufacturers accumulate fifty, and in this
the South is but the vassal of the manufac
turers in Europe and New England, The
millions of iron and steel imported into the
South is but a drain upon her Industries, as
she prvst-eeecs within her own borders all of
this, and its elaboration by her own people
would, of Itself, save to her every dollar
which goes to pay for these Imported ma
terials. We ask our people to arouse to
the exertion which ahail accomplish this.
Heed no. longer the croakers' croaking;
arise to action, and forget the past. Come
to the Exposition, and believe that it is
what it professes to be, and that it will re
sult in great good to the South. It only
needs concert of thought and unity of ac
tion to build up rapidly our waste places
and to make the South even mere tbe gar
den of tbe naMon than she ever was. Let
every energy be put forward in this effort,
and success is pertain. W. H. Bparks.
