CONDITION of the crops
the july report of the aobi-
CULTUHAL DEPARTMENT.
Improvement In the Condition of Cot
ton Shown Throughout the Entire
Halt- Winter Wheat Nearly All Har
vested and an Advance In Condition
Shown.
Washington, July 10.—The statistical
report for July of the department • f agri
culture shows imcrov. ment of the s atus of
cott n, the average condition having ad
vanced from 88.8 to 92.4 since the previous
returns. There a- generally an exteess of
moisture until a’ out June 10, with flue
weather since: giving opportunity of kill
ing the grass and for thorough cultivation.
Ou the Atlantic coast the crop is well ad
vanced, while it is late in the southwest,
where planting was delayed by overflows
and by heavy rains. That which was
planted early began to bloom from the
15th to the 25th, aud in the southwest
some bolls are reported as early
us the 20th. The whi'e plant is is in various
stages, from the wide range of seeding. It
is now almost invariably in full vigor of
growth, of good color and promise, free
from rust ad worms, except weak inva
sions of the first broods in the more Southern
belt. The present average of July condi
tion" has bee.i exceeded only once in the last
five years. It is stated as follows, by
states: Virginia 92, North Carolina
95 South Carolina 95, Georgia 95,
Florida 91, Alabama 95, Mississippi 89, Lou
isiana Bb, letas 89, Arkansas 89, Tennessee
94. Nearly throughout the cotton area two
or three weeks dry weather is reported, but
scarcely any injury from drought Hinee
July 1 heavy rains have been reported on
the Atlantic coast.
WINTER WHEAT.
The July winter wheat report of the de
partment of agriculture reports the crop
oa vested in all but its most northern lati
tudes. It shows some advance in condition
where it was lowest in June, in Michigan,
Indiana, Illinois and Missouri, and a •■light
decline in Kentucky, Ohio, the Pacific
coast and the southern states. The geueral
average is 76.2, against 78.1 last month, and
the reduction is mostly in non-commercial
districts, the commercial supplv states,
taken together, making neatly the same
average as in June.
The spring wheat average has advanced
from 91.3 to 942. The averages of the
priucical states are as follows: Wisconsin
93, Minnesota 98, lowa 95, Nebraska 88,
Dakota 94, Montana 93, Colorado 90, Wash
ington 93. Taken together, winter aud
spring wheat make an average of 82.1, in
stead of 82.4, as last month.
A POOR CROP IN THE SOUTH.
The returns from the south are very un
favorable, indicating scarcely more than
half of a full crop. The vitality of the
crop was greatly impaired by the March
frost. The aphis has been very prevalent
on tbe Atlantic coast, and saturating rains
have been injurious. These causes
have been productive of the short
ening of the straw and the
shriveling of the grain, with an unusual
prevalence of rust. The fly and chinch bug
have appeared in some districts. After in
jury from the frosts that followed the mild
wi ter the crop fellvic'im to its ravages.
A heavy decline in condition during June is
reported in Kentucky. The yield and
quality as tested are worst than anticipated,
tue plants lying oil the ground and the ears
badly shriveled. Ohio and West Virginia
make slight reductions and winter-killed
areas are disappointing expectations. In
Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and
K .. sas the least injured fields have mani
festly improved during the last month
and promise better results than in the
spring, while ladly winter killed were
worse blighted and more chaffy than was
expected. The average was slightly ad
vanced in all theso states. A wide range of
local differences increases the difficulty of
reporting the true average, which may be
more closely approximated after tbe spring.
Wisconsin claims sixteen to twenty bush
els per acre, while others admit damage and
disappointment.
Spring wheat in the Mississippi river states
has had abundant moisture, while there is
considerable complaint of drought in the
Missouri valley.
THE AREA IN CORN.
A small’increase in the corn area is re
ported, about six-eighteenths of 1 per cent.
A large proportion of the extension is in the
northwest. There has been nearly 1 per
cent, increase in the south. The condition
of corn averages 93.1 per cent. It is lowest
in the eastern part of the Ohio valley, and
relatively high in the corn growing’ states
further west. The southern states generally
report above 90.
A FALLING OFF IN OATS.
There hes been a severe decline in the
condition of oats, which has fallen from
89.1 to 81.6. It has been heaviest in the
cotton states, and is quite severe in the
Ohio valley. In the south, where winter
oats are grown, rust has greatly injured the
crop. In the west the aphis has injured its
vitality and rust has followed.
Straw is short.
The condition of rye is 92, nearly the same
as at the last report.
Barley has advanced from 86.4 to 88.3.
The acreage of notato?s has not appreci
ably increased. The average condition is
97. It is lowest in Missouri, Kansas, Ne
braska and Colorado.
Tbe condition of pasture is high, aver
aging 96.
Au increase of about 3 per cent, is re
ported in toi ac o. The condition is rela
tively low, averaging 88.8. It is lowest in
the Ohio Valley.
RAIL AND CROSSTIB.
The South Carolina railway has com
menced to operate a regular freight and
patsenger schedule on the Columbia, New
berry and Laurens railroad. The stations
aloug the line have been called Saluda
Leaphart’s, Irmo, Balletine’s Mill, White
Rock, Chapin’s, Little Mountain and Pros
perity.
There is a rumor in railroad circles now
that the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia system, which is so fast gobbling
up the southern railroads, is bidding for a
lease of the Mobile and Ohio linos. The
report says further that there is a probabil
ity of thei East Tennessee getting tint lines.

are making predictions of a distinguished
career for him.
The Augusta Chronicle says f the new
line to Florida via Augusta that it comes
pretty straight that moneyed people are in
the field to purchase the line from Robert
Sibley. The trouble seems to have been
that in grading the road Mr. Sibley’s con
struction company Complied with the de
tnands of each township through which
they vent and expended the moneys there
Subscribed. This has left tlie road patchy—
worked only in disjointed sections. It is
sstimated that the work done on tbe road is
" orth J250,UU0. The parties who have about
secured it will get it for about half that
figure, and altogether $250,0 O will give
Augusta the line to Ninety-six, 8. C- This,
the Ckronielf ‘says, will give Augusta a
momentous connection. It adds: “Nothing
less indeed than a..o:ber hne to New York.
Augu-ta men are going to put the money
into i and then effect arrangements with
the Augusta and West Florida railroad,
and tbe result of their stupendous sc erne
would see Pennsylva ,ia railroad vestibule
trains from New York to Florid t going
through Augusta via Thomasville. It
look like a big undertaking, but this
is the age of vast enterprises. The
Georgia, Carolina acd Northern rail
road between Norfolk and Atlanta
has 1 wan successfully engineered by
Gen. Hoke, and his system—tne Robertson
—is as au assured factor in new railroad
coinbinati ms. At Norfolk, where this line
operates with forty-nine steaii packets,
connection is made with the Pennsylvania
road. To secure a Florida connection it is
more than probal le that this road would
manage to cross the James river. From
there to Ninety-six via Raleigh is a direct
roate; using .the Robe tson system. The
management of the last named is in sym
pathy with the aim of Augusta parties to
open up Florida to the Vanderbilts. There
is a strong eeoUnmat iu Augusta
and West Florida circles looking
toward the building of a branch to Jesup,
and this won and commaud Eastern and
Western Florida. Tho Pennsylvania system
has long wished io get into the Florida
business south. They thought they had an
opening in the Charleston and Savannah
road, but the Plant system was too quick
for them, and so far have plans perfected
that though schedules are talked uf a: and it
will be no surprise if work is rapidly
pushed on the Augusta and West
Florida road through the promise
of consummation of these
projects. This undertaking, intimation of
which is all that can at present be revealed,
is from a high authority. But on its heels
may come ere many days news of its per
fection. Then, too, the Augu-ta and Chat
tanooga westn ard will take on unwonted
activity this fall. Those inside are working
like braves on a programme that will see
work put on anew footing speedily. These
two undertakings are fittingly congenial
with Augusta’s new life. There are big
things in store for Augusta in the early
future.”

formerly owned by A. Sterne, has begun
improvements on the old school house. He
will have it remodeled a id renovated, and
make a very handsome seven-roomed resi

reside in the Sterne residence, now occupied
by Henry Callaway.
Albany News and Advertiser: The
Albany census returns lmve all been sent in
to Washington, and no kicks are being
made about it. Albany is too busy with
the wool and melon business to raise any
kicks about the number of her inhabitants.
The census bears her out in what her paper
has claimed for her, and she leaves tbe
kioking to her neighbors who have been
blowing about fabulous populations.
FOR GEORGIA FARMERS.
The Newton County Farmers’ Alliance
meets at Almon to-day.
The State Agricultural Society is to meet
in LaGrange on Aug. 16 next.
The crops around Irwinton have been
materially injured by the dry weather for
the past tew weeks.
Griffin Call: Tbe grape season is opening
up here. The crop will be much lighter
than last season, owing to the late freezes
in early spring and the unprecedented
droughts that followed, yet there will be a
satisfactory shipment made from various
vineyards. The first important shipment
was made yesterday by express.
On Wednesday last the annual meeting of
the Troup county alliance took place at Mid
way, and notwithstanding the terribly hot
weather a very large crowd was in at
tendance. Officers of the alliance for the
ensuing year were elected as follows: W.
B. Whatly, president; H. W. Houston, vice
president; J. E. Smith,secretary; M. Fling,
chaplain; J. N. Carlton, lecturer; J. D.
Hammett, assistant lecturer; T. W. Cun
ningham, doorkeeper; J. D. Mallory,
assistant doorkeeper.
LaGrange Graphic: A. B. Handley and
several other gentlemen as well have no
ticed the presence of the caterpillar fly
in their cotton fields the past few days, and
are correspondingly anxious as to the dam
age these pests may accomplish before tbe
cotton is gathered. This is fully three
weeks earlier than these flies have ever been
seen here, aud the gentlemen we have talked
with on the subject give it as their opinion
that this is caused from the warm winter
aud tbe extreme heat of this summer.
GEORGIA POLITICS.
At the invitation of the county alliance
Rev. B. M. Callaway will address the citi
zens of Wilkes county in the court house at
Washington July 17.
At the election at Abbeville last Tuesday,
the following gentlemen were elected: For
mayor, Capt. A. Y. Beaton; for aldermen,
J. R. Monroe, Col. E. H. Williams, R. J.
Fitzgerald, 8. P. Lasseter, J. E. Bowen, J.
H. Little.
It has been suppose 1 all along that Con
gress nan Blount would have no opposition.
An incident in tha Jones county mass meet
ing held Tuesday seems to be, however,
a straw- showing that the wind is not all
blowing Mr. Blount's wav. A resolution
was offered in the meeting to elect dele
gates in the Sixth congressional convention
instructed for Mr. Blount, which was voted
down, and tho delegates were sent uuin
structed.
A lively race for the judgeship of the
Northern circuit is looked lor in case Judge
Lumpkin is elected to the supreme bench.
Hon. Seaborn Reese of Hancock has already
announced himself u candidate. He was
solicitor gener 1 1 of the circuit before he
went to congress, and is consequently well
known. Judge 8. H. Hardeman ot Wilkes,
Messrs. Hamilton McWhorter of Ogle
thorpe, John P. Shannon, George C. Gro
gan and Joseph N. Worley of Elbert and
A. G. McCurry of Hart will all likely be in
the race. If the election does come off a
lively time is looked for.
Atlanta Journal: County Tax Collector
Stewart and his able assistant, Henry Love,
are very busy to-day. They are making up
a list of the registered democratic voters
for use in the democratic legisla
tive primary on Wednesday, July 16. They
are doing this work for the county execu
tive committee free of charge, a work that
would otherwise cost about 850. Mr. Stew
art selects the democrats out of the regular
list of registered taxpayers, and Mr. Love
does tue copying. This list of voters for
the primary will consist of a most excellent
class of citizens, the best taxpayers in the
city. They ate all, intelligent, honorable
citizens, and capable.of casting a good vote.
No election was ever more fairly and
squarely conducted than this one will be.

LOUISANA*3 LOTTERY.
Tho House Concurs in the Action of
the Senate.
Baton Rouge, La., July 10.—At a late
hour last night the House received a mes
sage from the Senate returning the lottery
bill and veto thereto in accordance with
the report of the Senate judiciary commit
tee, which was likewise transmitted.
Mr. Sheils of Orleans offered the follow
ing resolution:
The Senate having refused to consider tbe
governor’s vet jof bill No. 214. which bill is an
amendment to the constitution passed by the
requisite two-thirds majority of all the mem
bers elected to both houses, and as the action of
the Senate denying the right or authority of
the governor to veto a constitutional amend
ment is in entire accord with
the views of tnis House, that
we heartily agree with and concur with the
Senate and adopt their resolution as ours, and
that the clerk o; the House be directed to de
liver to the Secretary of State for promulga
tion the enrolled House bill No. 214. with, a cer
tified copy of the proceedings of the House on
said bill, and to take tha receipt of the Secre
tary of State for the same.
After filibustering by the antis until
12:30 o’clock this morniug. the above was
finally adop ed by a vote of 61 to 27. This
disposes of the lottery question as far as the
legislature is concerned.
Toe Picayune this morning editorially
savs:
The right of the governor to veto the pro
posed amendment to the constitution has been
formally denied by tue general assembly of
Louisiana. We believe that this decision is
solidly based on the constitution.
Threatened Revolution.
Nearly thirty years ago this country was
in the throes ot a civil war which shook its
foundations and brought its government to
the verge of dissolution. The defeated
party in the preceding presidential election
began that conflict.
The life of the nation, as a constitutional
federal government, is again in jeopardy.
This time the victorious party, the Senate
and House of Representatives, the Presi
dent and ins cabinet, tbe republican ma
jority who control all its depart
ments, are essaying to destroy it —
to change it into a military
despotism, a dictatorship, with only a bare
semblance of that of a free republic. In
the name of a love of liberty and justice
they are trampling under foot the tradi
tions, the customs, the rights of the slates,
the rules of deliberative bodies, electiou
laws, and every safeguard of freedom which
tne people have enjoyed for the past cen
tury. The speaker of the House of Repre
sentatives is the real leader in this crime
against free government. The President, a
weak, bigoted, m lignaut hater of the
south, the degenerate descendant of a Vir
ginia revolutionary patriot, is a mere figure
head and Reed’s laeile, Vveak tool—strong
only in his malice toward the section where
his honored ancestors lived and in his
oiiicial power.
These men, with their associates, hench
men and camp followers, are plotting ani
workrng for the revolution of the govern
ment. It looks very much like they might
succeed. Drunk with present power, they
are determined to p j rpetuale their rule or
precipitate the destruction of the govern
ment.
They know that if left to fair discussion,
the people at the ballot-box, without
federal interference in their behalf,
with a free ballot and a fair count, will
hurl them from power and keep them out
forever. Ra her than see a just, fair, non
sectional, anti-monopoly, equal administra
tion of tue government under democratic
auspices they prefer to break it up—to
revolutionize it. Tneir pending legislation,
if it is enacted, will certainly accomplish
this result. •
The federal, election law which has passed
the United States House of Representatives
and is now before the He ate is revolution.
Let it be the law, and we have seen the las;
congress and the last President elected
by the people of the states under form of
constitutional law. This act provides for
the appointment of federal supervisors and
returning boards at the congressional and
presidential elec ins, accompa ied t> the
polls by federal soldiers. I'll -se supervisors
are to be appointed by republican judges,
and they are to declare who a’ e elected to
the offices, ins tea, lof the governor* of the
several state-, as now provided bv law.
These republican julges, supervisors, re
turning boards and soldiers will count ami
name the congress and President of the
United States if this bill becomes the law.
Then the c mstitntional government of this
country will be dead, and there will live iu
its stead a despotism supoortod by soldiers,
with Itee.l or someone like him as the dic
tator. The Mexican government wilt be a
better one. We shall have a Ctesar or a
Napoleon without their bravery or public
spirit.
This is no exaggerated danger. It
is nigh uuto us. It stands and
boasts and threatens right at the
door of civil liberty anl constitu
tional rights this very hour. Shall a halt
be called? Can the tnreatened calamity be
stopped ! If so, who can do it! The people
of the south cannot. While we ardently
desire to see constitutional union and lib
erty preserve!, we are powerless ia the
premises. The people of the north, the
east and the west must interpose
to save themselves and us. Unless they act
and do so promptly and with overwhelming
power, the days of the republic, the govern
ment of our fathers, are uuinhered. There
is not the least necessity nor show of reason
for this wicked purpose upon the part of
these republican leaders. The masses of
the people of all sections are peaceful and
prosperous. Among them tiiere is little
sectional prejudice, and it is decreasing.
It is fiendish cruelty to stir up anew sec
tional strife, you of the south want no
more of it. The whites and the blacks here
are at peace. Let us alone; schools for all
are progressing. The laws are equal and
i'ust to all. Why permit these men, who
now little and care less for auy of us.
white or black, to make us the su .jects of
their Intermeddling, unconstitutional legis
lation, and the occasion of working the
ruin of the whole country? One of the
cruelest consequences of all this will be tbe
blow to the negroes of the south.
They have progressed in a quarter
of a century as no people have ever done.
They are becoming advanced in education,
in religious intelligence; are inc easing
their proporty and are on better tor.ns with
their white n igbbors chan they have been
slice they wore freed. The neg o problem
is solving itself In a way satisfacb ry to the
negroes and their southern white friends,
but not in a manner to suit those republican
haters of peace and prosperity at the south.
Harrison, Reed, McKinley, Ingalls and
their associates owe their prominence to
their malignity. They have rioted and
fattened on strife and discord.
They gloat over rancor between southern
whiles and negroes. The wails of those
hurt in such strife is music to their ears.
One million of southern negroes and whites
slain in a race conflict of their fomenting
would afford them infinite delight. Thev
are now counting on bringing about a
race conflict in the south to fire the northern
heart. If there is not enough good sense,
intelligence and patriotism iu the east, west
and noi th to stop them in their mad, devil
ish designs, is the country worth saving?
