Auburn, Ain., August 12.—At this time
of year what theme engages the ulmosl
exclusive attention of men ? See them in
little groups at the street corners, playing
havoc with soft pine; see them gathered
in front of country churches of a Sunday
morning, chewing much tobacco and ex
pressing views on some subject not very
Intimately connected with the occasion
that has brought them together. What
are they discussing ? The crops, of course.
And as that is the uppermost theme in the
minds of city men and country folk, I put
it forward as my best foot in the beginning
of this communication.
I give it as my opinion (for
whioh I am personally responsible, and in
defense of which 1 am ready to shed my
ink) that in the counties of Lee and Cham
bers the crops are better than they have
been any other year since the war, and
just as good as any reasonable mail couid
desire. The utmost the constitutional
grumblers can say is the bottom lands are
“drowned out,” the corn bloom is washed
off and grains are scattering on the cobs,
and a caterpillar has been seen going
about seeking what he can devour. But
the bottoms form an inconsiderable part
of the arable lands of the counties I have
mentioned, and as to the other complaints.
I will only say that Mr. Grumbler is build
ing new cribs and he is not buying any
Paris green.
A few days since your correspondent and
Mrs. Correspondent and Miss Correspond
ent rode down to Loachapoka to see a pair
of pear trees that have made a great sensa
tion in this part of the world. The trees
are the property of William Campbell, a
thrifty colored man, who owns a planta
tion of several hundred acres within a mile
of Loachapoka. William says that when
he was clearing away the virgin forest just
in the rear of his neat little cottage,several
years ago, he foulid a small pear tree grow
ing under the shadow of a large oak. He
dug it up, and as it forked near the ground,
he split it through the roots, making two
trees of it, which he set out in his
g arden. In a few' years the trees
egan to bear, and the fruit thereof
excited the admiration of all the country
round. People came from considerable
distances to see the wonder. A planter,
living not far from Auburn, gave Bill $40
fora handful of switches to graft on other
trees, and a nurseryman of Nashville
offered $300 for the two trees. Strange to
say, nobody has ever seen pears exactly
like Bill Campbell’s. The trees are rather
small, but are so heavily laden with fruit
that it is necessary to set props under
many of the limbs. The pears are yet
green and growing. They ripen the latter
part of September. We weighed several
of assorted sizes and found that the pres
ent average weight is something over ten
ounces. When fully grown, some
of them weigh a pound and a
half. They do not perfect seed,
which seems to iddicate that the tree is not
a. native of this country. There is little or
no core in the fruit. The flavor is delicious,
excelling that of any other pear in this
country. Bill has had many large orders
for trees, but he cannot furnish them. He
has grafted a few, but says it is difficult to
get stocks on which to graft.
A romantic and happy marriage took place
here this morning at 9 o’clock. It was the
consummation of a wooing that went on
in the school days of the wooer and the
wooed. The happy man is Mr. A. J. Alex
ander, of Mobile, a cadet of the A. and M.
college. The bride is the fair Miss Leila,
daughter of Mrs. Carrie McNamee. Rev.
Dr. W. E. Lloyd performed the ceremony,
after which the bridal party took
the train for Atlanta and other
points on a wedding tour. The best wishes
and old shoes of the community follow
them.
Commandant M. C. Richards, of the A.
& M. College, lost his infant son, aged
about ten months, yesterday afternoon.
There is a general expression of sympathy
with the bereaved parents.
There are numerous summer visitors in
town. Many families from Montgomery
and other places in middle Alabama are
here to spend the heated term. By reason,
of its altitude, Auburn is considered a
pleasant place to spend the summer. Many
a sickly child owes the prolongation of its
life to the salubrious airs that fan Auburn.
This has been a delightful summer. One
might count on one’s Angers the days that
have exhibited real summer temperature.
The nights, as a rule, have been like those
of autumn, and a little covering is quite
comfortable. A buggy ride by moonlight
elves one the most pleasant sensations.
The tall trees casting their shadows across
the white road ; the luxuriant crops peep
ing over the tallest fences and presenting
a. promise of prosperity and plenty, and
the sleek herds grazing on pastures green
by the pale, cool light of the moon, charm
the eye and awake pleasurable emotions.
It is quite a different thing, though, to
have to chase a cow and calf out of a cot
ton field by moonlight, especially if the
cow and calf persist in running in opposite
directions. Tried both.
There are very few dogs in Auburn,
either quadruped or biped, except on the
outskits of town where the colored popu
lation is densest. But one of the few went
mad and got itself killed a few days ago.
Several new dwelling houses have been
built this summer, and many old ones have
been improved and renovated. Auburn
lots have risen in value, but are still not
quite up to the Birmingham mark.
The Polytechnic Institute and the public
school are in healthy condition, and will
have largely increased numbers of attend
ants next session.
Mr. Arthur F. McEihaney lias been quite
sick and is still confined to his bed, but it
is thought that he is improving. He is
.one of our most enterprising citizens, and
everybody is anxious to see him out again.
Mrs. W. B. Frazer, wife of the postmaster,
has been sick many months, but seems to
be gradually improving. She is an accom
plished and amiable lady who uas the
sympathy of many warm friends.

Your correspondent spent several days
this week on the plantation of Hirsch
Bros., 11 miles from own, on the Hatche-
chubbee creek. There are 36 plows run on
this place. The crop will average better
than any I have seen this year. Thirty-
one of these plows are run by negro rent
ers. I believe that a safe estimate for their
crops will be 10 bales of cotton to the plow
and 126 bushels of corn. Four of these
plows are run under the immediate super
vision of Mr. John Caldwell, one of the
best and most successful young farmers in
the county. His crop will average a
bale to two acres. He will make 160 bush
els of corn to the plow and 60 boles of cot
ton with the four plows. I would like to
hear of some farmer who can beat this. I
notice that the first crop of caterpillars had
made their appearance on the bottom
lands and may do serious damage to the
young cotton.
The largest moccasin I ever saw was

Kx-Ketiator William Crayton In IJnilio.
Correspondence Enquirer-Sun,
Union, Ga., August 11.—In the scum
that floated to the surfnee in the days of
reconstruction was William Crayton
(colored), a noted divine of the Methodist
persuason and prominent politician. Cray
ton figured largely in southwestern Geor
gia in the days that “tried men’s souls,”
exercising great influence over his race to
the detriment of the whites, holding his
headquarters at Lumpkin, Ga. By the aid
of yankee bayonets, ne was elected (so-
called) from the twelfth district to the
Georgia senate. Since the expiration of
his term as senator, the door of the recon
struction crib being closed against him,
but little has been known of him, until re
cently he turned up at Florence, Ga., as
teacher and pastor. A few days ago, on
the outskirts of the village, William Cul-
verson, also colored, overheard Crayton
making such overtures to his (Culverson’s)
wife as Culverson thought to be improper.
The ex-senator, realizing the fact that he
was detected, armed himBelf with an ax
and threatened to cut Culverson into
mincemeat. He failed, however, to carry
out his threat, as the officers of the law
succeeded in arraigning him before Justice
Land, who bound him over to appear at
the next term of Stewart superior court.
All the Mills in Augusta Shut Down and
No Bluff About It.
Tile l'»t,or, Bi'lN Not Hoard and Five Thousand
•>|ii'rntivi's idle on tho West Side—Itoporls and
Uainoi’s from Mill Mon and Striker*.
Augusta News.
Very many operatives in the factories
believed that the mill authorities were
bluffing when they posted the order about
the mills shutting down last night.
Many refused to believe otherwise until
this morning, so strong was hope within’
them, hut when the bells hung silent in
the towers this morning and the great
gates remained closed, with the operatives
on the outside, the realization of the fact
broke upon them that the mill men meant
business, and would make the operatives
take some of their own medicine.
The issue is now made up, and time and
st rength must settle t lie story of the strike.
The promises of tlie mill men, the ad
vice of the News, the counsels of neutral
friends, all availed nothing. The opera
tors have followed their leaders — where ?
The realization of the situation is only
partial as yet. Only the older, and less
talkative and less turbulent spirits seem to
foresee wlmt a dreadful outlook is ahead of
them. It is said that this class is in the
majority however, hi t they are afraid to
speak oui and go to Work against the will
and voices of their leaders. Many a poor
woman and many a head of a family know
and realize the terrible prospect, and it is
the minority which is described oy our
morning contemporary as leaving work
last evening with “smiles of satisfaction
gleaming over their countenances.'’ The
mass of the operatives are not so happy at
their condition.
SOME ILLUSTRATIONS.
To show' how some of the best employes
and most intell.gent workmen have been
misled, a single instance is given. A young
and skilled operative, on the road to pro
motion and perfectly satisfied with his
wages, walked up to one of the bosses yes
terday and asked:
“The mill officers are only bluffing us,
are they not?”
“The mill will shut down to-night in
definitely.”
“Then I don’t know where I’ll get
another job as good as this.”
A poor woman was heard several days
ago to remark: “I have not saved any
thing on account of sickness, and if the
mills shut down 1 will not have bread
enough to last one day.”
THE KNIGHTS’ TREASURY.
The Knights of Labor may have money
in their treasury, und it is understood they
have a snug bank account, but they will
have to use it at once.
Said a well posted mill man : “The op
eratives cannot be starving at present
wages, when they can put by some money
eacu week for the Knights’ treasury.”
And another said : “The money may
have been collected at home, but they
won’t get any from the general order.
Northern money is not coming south.”
Another gentleman asked : If the Knights
have money, and Mr. Menardie says they
have, why do they send subscription lists
about town asking for aid ?”
THE AVERAGE DAYS OF WORK.
“The operatives talk about not getting
enough to live on; do you know how many
days they average at work in our mill ?”
The question waB asked by the book
keeper of one of the largest mills in the
city, and the Evening News remarked that
he would like to know.
“Well, the average number of days made
in the mill in a week is four. If they would
do a full week’s work you would not hear
anything about starvation, and if the help
of a private house showed such a record
they would be discharged in a week. W>hat
is wanted is for the operatives to work reg
ularly and they won’t complain of wages.
The wages here are much better than in
many other places.”
THE MILLS THAT ARE CLOSED.
The mills now closed in Augusta are the
Augusta, Enterprise, King, Sibley, Alger
non, Shamrock and Riverside. These be
long to the Southern Manufacturers Asso
ciation and have agreed to united action.
The Graniteville, Vancluse and Langley
mills also belong to the association, and ft
is expected that all southern mills of this
section will join—but of course only the
mills in Augusta will be stopped for trouble
here. Clark’s Globe mills and the Sheetr
Si'imtur Ucorge.

ing mills are both running to-day, as they
do not belong to the association. The Riv
erside Waste department was excepted in
the order to shut down, as nearly all the
operatives there were negroes and not
Knights; and this morning this department
was started, when the Knights ordered the
operatives out and they “ outed.”
FORTY NINE STRIKES AHEAD OF THIS.
“How can the Knights of Labor take
care of Augusta operatives when there are
forty-nine strikes and lockouts right now
in New England?” This question was
asked by a mill president who had been
reading the record of northern troubles
and making a calculation as to how long
the Knights’ treasury would last if all
comers were cared for.
SUPPLYING STRIKERS’ PLACES.
“I think the mill men have been very
lenient and slow with the operatives,”
said a gentleman well posted, but not a
mill man. “But I suppose that it is useless
to expect gratitude to weigh with them
now. Don’t these deluded men know that
the mills can supply their places? There are
too many idle men in the land to think the
strikers will succeed.”
SOME SOLID FACTS.
“I’ll tell you some solid facts, and I can
prove them,” said a man who is a recog
nized authority in manufacturing matters.
“Tell them!”
“Wages are better now than at any
time since the war, considering the pur
chasing power of a dollar. Wages are
higher here than in Massachusetts or any
southern state, and Augusta mills are
contending right now in prices and sales
of goods with new mills in upper Carolina,
where labor is 15 and 20 per cent, cheaper
than here. This is a fact. And all
this talk about compromising with
operatives is all foolishness’, for the
mills can’t afford it. They have been
running for two years compromising,
or rather as a favor to the operatives, for
their benefit, and to keep them -from suf
fering, and now that we are on the eve of
better times all talk of compromise is out
of the question. If labor would only keep
quiet and work along they would lie given
the advance in less than six months. The
demands iJ the operatives, if acquiesced
in, would not stop at 15 per cent. 1 tell
you the fact is established and the knights
are fighting for more. There would be no
stopping until the mills are in the hands
of knights and mill men could not say a
word about the management of their own
property. Everything and everybody,
with them, must be knights.”
Augusta, Ga,, August 12.—The situation
is unchanged. The mill presidents and
operatives both remain firm, and show no
disposition to come together and end the
strike.
A clergyman, after years of suffering
from that loathsome disease, Catarrh, and
vainly trying every known remedy, at last
found a prescription which completely
cured him and saved him from death.
