COTTON AND CORN.
Important Bulletin by the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
At’anta. Ga.. Sept. B.—The department
of agriculture to-day issued an important
bulletin on the condition of cotton and
corn.
Cotton shows a falling off of nearly 2
per cent. At the beginning of the season
the stand and prosDeet throughout North
Georgia was the best reported to the de
partment for a number of years under fa
vorable seasons. Rapid recuperation and
development have taken place, and now
In this section the crop is in better
condition than in any portion of the
state Southwest Georgia, on the contrary,
gave gromise of a good yield tea rly in the
season, whereas now. with the exception
Of East Georgia, poorer condition and
prospect is reported than in any other
section of the state The falling o r
through Southern and Middle Georgia is
due to a development of vjeed ururfr the
influence of copious rains wft flout the
plant's properly fruiting. The August re
port shows a magnificent promise of a
large yield of corn, but at this time the
condition is not quite so favorable, show
ing a falling off of about 5 per cent. Not
withstanding this, the prospect may be
regarded as fine, especially in North
Georgia, which has not fallen off.
Farmers are congratulated on this, es
pecially in view of the fact that at one
time during the season the crop was very
unpromising. The cotton prospect, as
compared to an average of 100, is 84% and
corn 09 2-5. Commissioner Nesbitt urges
planters to be more careful in baling their
cotton. The American crop, he says, is
worse baled than that of any country,
and the farmers have to bear the burden
ef this handicap, because deductions are
made for this careless baling.

A MUSICAL, MTTSS.
As Atlanta Professor Attempts to En
join a Rival Performer.
Atlanta, Ga.. Sept. 3.—Musical Atlanta
has been stirred up over a bill filed by
Hugh Angier, a well kqown tenor, to en
join Signor Guiseppe Randeggar from
teaching or in any way using his musical
education inside the corporate limits of
the gity of Atlanta for the term of four
years.
Randeggar, who is a very talented
young Italian, has been the idol of the
music world here, for several months past.
He was brought over from his native land
about a year ago by Hugh Angier and in
troduced to Atlanta society as an instruc
tor under Mr. Angier'sdirection Angier
claims he has the signor bound by an
iron-clad contract not to teach or
perform in Atlanta for four years,
except as under his control.' The
two had a falling out, and now that
Randeggor is about to go into business on
his own hools. Angier has asked the
court to enjoin him. He alleges that the
signor, while his popularity is due to his
1 Angler'si introduction, possesses talent
that would_cause him to be a damaging
competitor The suit has added to the
young signor's already wide popularity
and the event bids fair to make him the
man of the season.

PROSPEROUS BRUNSWICK.
A Summer of Health and Prospects of
a Good Business.
Brunswick. Ga.. Sept. 3.—The outlook
for business in Brunswick this fall is
very bright. The summer season now
nearing its end brought an influx of peo
ple not equaled by any previous summer,
and the nearby resorts reaped a haj'*Tt
which aided materially in keepinxv®pbus
iness in Brunswick.
One year ago Brunswir'-- had reached
bottom in the sea of tr doles, both finan
cial and provider, tie'. but her citizens re
turned in the faP '-J take up anew their
daily occupati' -s. On December 1 last
there was no', a spindle or wheel turning,
and hank" i capital was limited. The
people to work with a will, and since
that .ate not a failure hasoccurrei Con
trary to the former depression hope pre
dominated, and .with the opening of the
summer season the hanking capital
of Brunswick was increased
$150,000. and both island cresnrt
hotels opened with full houses, which re
mained full during the season. In a few
weeks the cotton factory opened up with
sixty-five hands employed: the barrel fac
tory was in operation, two machine shops,
four lumber mills, and a number of
smaller enterprises, but all employing in
the aggregate a large number of wage
earners were in full blast and have re
mained so with no indications at present
of possible cessation.
A HEALTHY SUMMER.
The season has been remarkably
healthy, the mortuary record being
lower than for any previous year for
years. The national government assumed
control of the quarantine t hereby remov
ing any possible danger of infectious dis
eases slipping in from vessels, and by its
action relieving the commerce of Bruns
wick of an annual tax of about $15,000,
heretofore charged vessels for unloading
ballast, and other quarantine duties
which heretofore burdened ship owners.
A REDUCED TAX BURDEN.
This year the tax assessors reduced the
taxable values of lands in Glynn about
$1,500,000, relieving Brunswick of about
SIO,OOO tax burdens that they have been
paying on property which was valued
during the days of the boom in this sec
tion.
One large lumber firm, Wheelwright k
Cos., has extended their business to Spain
and other foreign countries, while an
other, R. Torras, has increased his for
eign business to such an extent that both
firms will load an average of twenty-five
foreign vessels each this year, in addition
to thgir coastwise trade
Every hotel and restaurant in the city
is open and doing a paying business, while
the names of half a dozen new firms could
be cited that have opened up within the
past nine months.

gratification in facing an audience of the
people among whom he was raised, and
declared he was not ashamed
of the populists, whose cause he
espoused. He began his speech by
saying that reports derogatory to
his character had been circulated, and he
wanted to state his side of the case,
which he adroitly did. He explained his
connection with a law suit in which the
parties on one side claimed he had acted
in bad faith. He also explained his con
nection with the funds of Lawson; stated
he could have saddled the loss of these
funds upon those orphans, but he in
tended they should not lose a dollar, even
if it should become necessary for him
and his wife and children to give
up their home to satisfy the claims of the
administrator of the estate.
After the conclusion of these personal
matters be declared that the populist
demands were right, and that the New
Testament was with his party as well as
the Supremo Ruler, and they would pre
vail. He spoke at length of the populist
platform. He is enthusiastic on
the subject of government owner
ship of railroads This plank of
the populist platform is one of his
hobbies He admitted he had voted for
the Tarver bill, but Steve Clay had also
voted for it.
The man up in the tree cheered lustily
as Candidate Hines sawed the air with
his arms and expounded the third party
doctrine. He was given respectful atteii
tion by the large crowd, wnich was com
posed principally of peoplo in attendance
at court. The speech occupied about two
hours.

during the noon recess of court, and fully
300 voters heard his speech, which was
timely and produced a splendid effect.
Col. Mcßride spoko directly to the third
party folks, and the conservative tone
of his speech won converts to
democracy. He handled Judge Hines'
legislative record and showed up the wild
schemes of the populist platform. He
ridiculed the votes of the populists in con
gress and called attention to the bills in
troduced by that party in congress.
The speech was an able defense of dem

THE MOKNTXG "rCESDAY. SEPTEMBER 4, 18tH.
HESTER S REPORT. - /
Statistics as to the Cot m Crop—New
Southern, wfindle*.
New Orlear.-. La . Sept. 3 —Secretary
Hester's Wew Orleans Cotton Exchange
repov*™ the cotton crop was Issued in
fuffto-day.
c After stating the crop for 1896-'94 was
>l9 bales, in excess of 340,452 over
lust year, he says* The largest part -of
the gain was in the group of Atlantic
states consisting of Alabama. Georgia.
Florida and North Carolina, which ran
ahead. The gulf states, Arkansas. Lou
isiana. Mississippi and Tennessee, in
creased 351,000 bales, while Texas dropped
off 59,000.
Mr Hester puts the average commer
cial valU' of the crop at #37.50 per bale,
against $42.50 last year. $37.50 in 191-'92;
and the total value was #283.118.000,
against 8284.150.000 last year and $338,-
812,1)00 the year before, showing the re
markable fact that while the output of
the last year has been 849,452 bales in ex
cess of the year before, its lommercial
value is $1,532,000 less.
Mr. Hester says that with an average
of 7k, cents per pound, which the crop
brought, planters, as a class, would have
been bankrupt had they adhered to their
old policy ot all cotton and little or no
food crops, and instances the significant
fact that the cotton states produce over
$148,000,000 of corn, nearly all of which
was consumed where grown.
In reference to acreage he says the pub
lished estimates are still unsatisfactory,
and comments on the intention of a chauge
of the basis of comparison on that subject
by the United States agricultural depart
ment being first made known through an
English source.
From this information the statistician
of the Washington department has writ
ten to a prominent member of the House,
giving as his opinion that the cotton
acreage of 1893 was 20.U00.000 acres, or
more than 3.U00.000 acres over the hereto
fore published estimates
Mr. Hester announces the result of his
investigations in this movement under a
new system, saying that several hundred
thousand bales have hitherto been cred
ited by the trade to Gulf states, which
properly belonged to Atlantic states, and
that the facts show the seat of cotton
production has not been moving westward
as rapidly as supposed.
The commericial crop in bales is given
as follows: In thousands and bales, for
1893-94 Alabama 935, Arkansas 825,
Florida 0. Georgia 1,125, Louisiana 400,
Mississippi 91b, North Carolina 425.
South Carolina 750. Tennessee, etc., 275.
Texas and Indian Territory 2,059. Total
crop, 7,(550,000 bales.
In relation to American miles Mr. Hes
ter says the season has been anything
but favorable, north or south.
On the heels of their largely decreased
takings for 1892-93, northern mills show a
further reduction for the past season of
86,113 bales. The effects of the financial
stringency and delay as to tariff legisla
tion also were decidedly depressing influ
ences in this industry, ana for the first
time since tho war a setback is to be re
corded.
Instead of an increase of 37,000 bales,
which, with anything line last year’s
crop, would have resulted from bringing
into full play the new spindles added in
tho south at the close of last year, and
the early part of the present season,
southern consumption has fallen off 24.-
333 bales. The total takings north, as
shown below were 1,601.173 against 1,687,-
286 last year and 2,190,766 the year before,
while the mills in the south report, as
their consumption (including takings
from ports) <18,515 against 743,484 in
1892-93 and 636,080 in 1891-92.
Commenting on the outlook for cotton
consumption in the south, Mr. Hester
says, with a return to normal conditions
there is promise not only for an increase
of 62,000 bales per annum in the products
of mills now in operation, but tables show
twenty-one new mills not completed with
nearly 100,000 spindles, besides thirt.v-six
idle mills with 130.000 spindles, a good
part of which would be brought into
play.
lu other words, the south has 2,000.000
spindles with a consumptive capacity of
825,000 bales per annum.
JOINT DISCUSSIONS.
Mr. Atkinson Will Divide Time With
the Populist Nominee.
Atlanta. Ga., Sept. 3 —Hon. W. Y. At
kinson and Judge Hines will in all prob
ability engage in a joint debate at Wash
ington shortly. The populists have been
claiming that, Mr. Atkinson is afraid
to meet Judge Hines. To day Hon.
Seaborn Rees of Washington called
on Chairman Clay and asked to have
Mr. Atkinson seek a division of
time with Judge Hines at his Washing
ton appointment. Chairman Clay said lie
was agreeable if Mr. Atkinson was. Dur
ing the day the matter was placed before
Mr. Atkinson. He was perfectly willing
to meet Judge Hines if the committee
thought i oproper, the matter is under
consideration The probability beiug
that Mr Atkinson will challenge Judge
Hines.

membership and the fee of #5.000 for the
privilege of being one of the club "set”
remains stationary with more takers than
memberships, as the latter is limited, and
the limit was long ago reached Superin
tendent E. C. Grob has returned from
New York, where he was in consultation
with the club directors, and the result of
this consultation gives him carte blanche
to prepare for the opening, which will
be an event in the history of the club.
The several private cottages owned by
members, which are situated near the
club house, and each one of which cost
from $15,000 to #35,U00. will be aired and
put in shape for their occupants. Tho
Fairbanks and Pulitzer cottages will be
Occupied during the season, but whether
the noted lard man and the newspaper
owner will be down is not known, friends
of the club members frequently being in
vited to accept a cottage through the sea
son as a courtesy. The game on Jekyl,
not having been disturbed in many
months, is abundant, wild hogs. deer,
quail and English pheasants showing up
numerously all through the woods. Occa
sional tracks of bear are seen. The grounds
around the club house have been put in
excellent condition and an accomplished
landscape gardener has been at work all
summer extending the walks aud beds
and planting flowers. Altogether Supt.
Grob lias Jekyl in splendid shape, and a
sight of It will please the owners.
