IHn Crop* arc Oooil mid Karmen IIiiIIiIIiik t'rl'w and Not ItuytiiK I’arln tireen—A Uuiniiii. tic and Happy Marriage-Hummer Melton hi Auburn—Other News Not™. Special to Enquirer-Sun. 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. Prof. J. S. Newman, of the chair of agri culture in the A. and M. college, is at Lar- tersville, Ga., in attendance on the con vention of the Georgia agricultural society. Prof. P. H.

This statement is made to frighten your club. A merry party from this place will leave early in the morning for Leonard’s old mill, where they go to seine and picnic. Miss Buelah Dawson, of Uchee, is visit ing the Misses Brinson. The county commissioners are in ses sion. They are equalizing the tax on prop erty as given in to the assessor. The two negroes. Jack Vann and Tobe Allen, charged with attempting to wreck a train on the Mobile and Girard road, were taken before Judge O’Neal Tuesday. Allen waived examination and was bound over to the circuit court in the sum of $600. Vann stood the examination and was re leased. Col. Norman, of Union Springs had charge of the prosecution and Major Waddell represented the defendant. 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 killed by Mr. Mark Tucker yesterday. His snakeship measured four feet in length and ten inches In circumference. This is no lie, as Judge O’Neal, your correspond ent, and others will vouch for its truth. Mr. Will Waddall, of Girard, is visiting here. Prof. Granbury left yesterday for a trip down the Mobile and Girard road.; 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.

As will be seen below Westmoreland Bros, have secured an admisMon from a regular practicing physician which puts a sterling stamp on their celebrated Tonic. Here it is: . r , | Westmoreland Bros., Druggists, Green- | vilie, S. C.: Allow me to offer you my ex- j perienee with Calisaya Tonic.

Yes, a thousand deaths.” i “You are a noble man, George.” i “Mv darling, you do not know me yet. [ “Well dearest, I lo not wish you to die for me, but I will tell you what you can do for me to show your affection.’ “What is it, my darling? Shall I pluck the stars from the cerulean dome? Shall 1 I sav to the sea, Ha! ha! cease to flow, for mv love wills it? Shall I tell yon bright and inconstant moon that is glinting the hilltops with her light that she must not shine on thy face too roughly—ha!” “No George, no.” she smilingly said, “I do not wish you to attempt such impos sibilities. All I ask of you is this—” “Yes, my darling.’ ‘‘All I ask of you is this—don’t call again.”—Boston Courier. 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. Any sufferer from this dreadful disease sending a self-addressed stamped envelope to Dr. J. Flynn & Co., 117 East 15th St., New York, will receive the recipe free of charge. decl4 weowlOs KNOW.
