This wifi require : 1. A new supreme

2. Some provisions for the preserva

If proper security can be given for
the preservation and application efthe

the supreme court, an application can
then be made to the court to have ihe

According to this decision of ihe

i curious to think ot such a
modern thing as a real-estate boom
connection with Jerusalem, but the
United States consul in that ancit
city has presented this picture.
In a recent official report he sta :
that real estate in Jerusalem has ad
vanced in value GOO per cent, within
the past eleven years. The popula
tion has it creased largely and the
building ol the railroad has increased
the commercial prospects of Jerusalem
immensely.
Quite a uuinber of real estate
ipeeulators have gone iuto business
there and some of them have made
pfies of money.
It may be that Jerusalem will soon
become a modern city, and if it
should there will be greater griel
among all who reverence the past and
who would protect its most sacred
monuments fiom the rush of so-called
improvement.—Atlanta Journal.

Mr. Cievland has kaown no South,
no East, no West, no North, in his
ppomtments. He has, to the best
of his ability, selected these men be
cause they were peculiarly well fitted
to discharge the various duties pertain
ing to their assigned positions. And
yet in the face ot this showing—in
face of the tact that Mr. Cleveland
has ignored sectional prejudice and
given the south her full share of ap
pointments, in face of these facts, there
are southern papers who cannot re
frain from attempting to belittle and
cripple the broadest and cleanest
statesman of the age, Grover Cleve

A wiiur ia Ihe ladies Home Jour*
nal, gives this bit of advice to those
who arc thinking of committing mat-
riuiory:
“If I-were asked by a young man
or a young woman how to be guided
in th®' choice of a life mate. I should,
in the exercise of & judgment based on
wide and studious observation, say:
Choore that, person Who, after a
reasonable period, of association,
proves to be moat companionable.
This Tjro id law comprehends nearly
all others that can be suggested. It
were infinitely better to be single'
through life than marry one who
would not answer to this condition.
Speaking somewhat narrowly 'and
selfishly, contentment is the woes that
can be got out of life^ and when
contented couple is found it will also

Washington, May 21.—Infanta
Eulalie spent her first Sunday in the
United States in the retirement of her
hotel, except for a brief walk, atten
dance upon church, and a ride in the
afternoon. She arose early and at
8:30 o’clock, accompanied by her hus
band, Prince Anroine, and her lady
in waiting, issued forth from the old
summer mansion, now part of the
Arlington hotel, and crossed the
street to Lafayette park and took a
short stroll about the walks admiring
the trees and shrubbery. The party
were particularly interested in the
mansion of the late Gen. Beale, one
of the historic bouses on the square,
and scrutinized it closely. They were
joined by Commissioner Dr.vis, who
had previously called at tho infanta’s
apartments.

Here are some figures:
I he south increased its grain pro
duction lrom 404,000,000 bushels in
1SS1 to 672,000,000 bushels in 1S91 -
a gain ol 66 per cent; its cotton crop
increased from 5.500,000 bales to
9.000,000 bales, or 64 per cent. It
practically created in that period its
early vegetable and fruit business for
northern markets, which now yields
upward of $50,000,000 a year, aud
largely added to us nee and sugar
crop3. Its pig iron production, which
451,000 tons in 1881, was 1,900,-
000 ions in 1S92; its ejal output rose
from 6,000,000 tons to 25,000,000
tons; its coition spindles from 667
to 2,500,000 ; its cotton seed oil
industry from an investment of $3,500
000 to about $54,000,000 ; its railroad
mileage from 23,811 miles to 45,800
miies ; it largely more than doubled
its banking business, increasing the
number of its national banks from 223
to 677, and their aggregate capital
from $45,000,000 to $120,000,000;
it added to the assessed value of its
property nearly $2,000,000,000, or
65 per cent, making the average as

against $187 in j8So.
Washington, May 22.—Princess
Eulalie had her photograph taken this
morning and she was delighted with
the experience, as old as it has grown
to her. The infanta reached the pho

and spent nearly an hour there. Sev
eral negatives were taken and the
princess took the liveliest interest in
the process.

The crop report sent out from
Atlanta yesterday has this to say about
crops in this section :
Crops as a rule in Southern Georgia
are in good condition except cotton,
which is somewhat backward, owing to
previous cool weather. The warm
weather now prevailing is just what
was needed for all crops.
A general feeling of contentment
prevails among the farmers in the
southeastern counties. Their crops
are all in good condition, and the
weather at present is all that cou’d be
desired, though more moisture will be
needed. Cotton is coming a’ong
very well, and is already beginning
to put on ‘forms.’ Corn is fair, and is
now growing rapidly. Oat cutting has
commenced. The yield of cotton this
year will be fully up to the average,
Brunswick, Ga., May 22.—The
firm of Mayer & Ullman, wholesale

the Oglethorpe National bank, who
suicided on last Thursday evening,
having been the junior member.
The bill shows that the liabilities of
the firm were $200,000, with assets in

of themew crop. year. To present all
the statistical information collected is
beyond the limits of thia$ti£ort.
Wear© aware that the correctness of
the various agricultural reports is fre
quently called in question and are grati
fied that the reports of this department
for last season were so folly sustained
in detail by yield; As the largo number
of correspondents of the department aro
selected with reference to their position
to have a knowledge of the' things upon
which they report, no matter hew much
the compiled figures may conflict with
special individual views, their approxi
mate correctness can but bo snstoined.
In those matters upon which corre
spondents report in regard to which the
department has other sources of in form-
atibn, the figures substantially accord.
We thus premise this report for tho rea
son that between it and the general un
derstanding of the situation, outside of
those directly interested, a conflict mrr
exist.
cotton. •
Under tho head of our groat staple
crop the following questions were asked:
Acreage compared to an average?
Acreage compared lo last year ? What
percent of tie total area in cotton in
your county is manured with either
commercial fertilizers, homo manure or
compost? What par cent of theso was
home manure or compost ? What per
cent of the crop is up? What is the
stand compared with a good stand?
Condition of plants compared with an
average? How much earlier or later
than usual? Compared to the whole
aroa in grain crops, corn and wheat, l'-0
representing sue area, what is tho area
obligations,’ in cotton in your county?
Tho matters of most importance to
the cotton grower and our entiro agri
cultural interests raised by these ques
tions is relative to the cotton acreage.
On this subject wo have had tho benefit
of answers from abont 800 reporter?,
and in addition to this special reports
from interviews with a large number
of farmers. If theso reports can bo
taken as authoritative, and wo believo
they can. the cotton acreage of the stato
while showing a slight increaso over
last year, is still not up to an average
as made by the two great crop years of
1V00 and 1831. In reporting the crop a3
pot np to an averago and as exceeding
tho crop of last year by only 4 Jper cent,
we are aware that some may question
the accuracy of the report on the ground
that the Teport for the same month last
year showed a very marked decrease in
acreage, which cannot by comparison
bo reconciled with tho figures of this
year. In making such comparisons it
should bo remembered that the de
creased acreage of last y^oar was as
compared to the largo acreage of ’91 and
not as compared to the average acreage
of tho state. As shown by the tabulated
statement compared to an averago, the
area in the state planted in cotton is 97.
and as compared to last year 1041. The
greatest increase is in north Georgia,
whilo middle Georgia shows the small
est. The condition of tho crop through
southern Georgia is fair, and, as a rule,
average stands are reported in middle
Georgia, and in north Georgia tho crop
outlook is not so promising, tho cold
weather having retarded germination
and growth.
Considered as a whole on the prospect
ive cotton production in the stato, the
nows from correspondents is more satis
factory than the pessimistic views in
dulged in by many. We trust that tho
small acreage indicated will bo substan
tiated, and that tho price of our grcal
money crop may bo alfowaUced by pro
duction within tho demands of con
sumption.
CORN.
It is pleasing to bo able to qgain re
port an increase in the acreage planted
in corn in the state, and also gratifying
to note that more attention is being phid
to fertilizing in raising com, as indica
ted by the large quantities of stable
manure, composted ana commercial
fertilizer used under this crop. While
tboincreaso is only 3 per cent as against
14 per cent last year, it demonstrates a
steady tendency * on the part of our
farmers to raise their supplies at home,
and to cease depending on thograinorius
of the west for their food supply.
OATS.
The acreage planted in this crop re
mains substantially the eame i and there
is little change in the relative quantity
sown in the fall and spring, Tho pros
pects for a fair yield over ihe stato
not good, though special localities
port a fine outlook, Recent tains have

It is gratifying to noto that no serious
damage to the fruit crop has been re
ported except in very limited areas, aud
that'the outlook ia for another good
fruit year. ’ A fair crop of apples and.
pears have sot. and peaches have almost
entirely escaped injury from frost.
The- interest in fra# growing in tho
stato isjncreasing, and from the largo
number'of enquiries received at the de
partment, the horticulture of the state
is attracting tho attention of those in
other states, who aro seeking a mild and
healthful climate, "and wish to devoto
themselves to this industry. •

it m oro inoperative that tho southern
farmer should raiso his o\?n supply.

of high priced hog products.
