in the year. T.his is a slight loss
in the case of corn, as compared
with 1599, whcyi the yield of the
former was 547.303.546, and of the
latter 2,078,143,933. This year’s
wheat crop has been beaten only
four times —in 189 r, 1897, 1898
and 1899 —the highest yield, that
of 189S, being 675,148,705 bushels;
This year’s corn production has
been exceeded three times only—
in 1889, when it was 2,112.892,000
bushels; in 1895, when it was 2,151,-
138.580 bushels, and in 1896, when
it was 2,283,875,165 bushels.
Oats was also a large crop in
1900, the yield being 809 125,989
bushels. Only once lias this bee"
exceeded, in 1895, when the crop
was 824,443,537. bushels. In pota
toes also the production was large
in 1900, amounting to 210,926.897
bushels. The year 1899, with a
yield of 228,783,232 bushels, beat
this record, but no other year did.
In some of the other important ag
ricultural products the figures are
not so high. Barley’s yield was a
fraction short of 59,000,000 bushels,
and that of rye was about 24,000,-
000 bushels. In each of these pro
ducts the output for 1900 has been
surpassed several times in the past
ten years
On the general average, however,
the agricultural yield for 1900 has
been good. Corn and vvhe t the
two greatest of the cereal products,
scored high figures. Prices, too, in
the past f(jw months, have been
higher than the average of recent
years. The farmer has been do
ing well, and is likely to continue
in this condition at least until the
next crop comes in. t T':e pres, i t
fairly high prices stand a chance to
prevail for many months yet, de
spite the abundant yield, for the
demand in exportation continues to
be large. The farmer, like all the
other members of the community,
is enjoying properity. When the
balance for 1900 is struck it wih
be found that the year has yielde 1
a fair share of favors to all the
■workers of the United States. —

WHY THEY LEAVE SCHOOL,
The Board of Education of St.

lic schools, and finds that poverty
of tne family is not the chief cause,
bnt holds the “excuse of poverty is
often made a cover for criminal
neglect on the part of a parent, or
a feeling of discontent on the part

schools—and this falling off is par
ticularly noted in the fourth, fifth
and sixth grades—are: “First, a
lack of interest on the part of the
pupils; and, second, a lack on the
part of parents of the appreciation
of the value of an education.
If we accept this as true, the
:ju; stion then is how to arouse the

CONFEDERATE HOME-
Plan of Caotain Tio Harrison to
Furnish the Home.
Matron Telegraph.
Capt. “Tip” Harrison, of the
comptroller-genera.’s office, who is
a confederate veteran from center
to circumference qi;d from heels to
head, was talking about the con
federate home . e.-t.erday when he
said in connect: n with the various
plans suggested foi furnishing the
dome: “I will agiee to be one ot
t hundred, or even fifty, for that
matter, to furnish a room in the
home and to keep it furnished as
long as I live. W hen I say one of
a hundred, I mean one of a hun
dred confederate veterans, men
vlio fought in the confederate
army—no who didn't <l<
any fighting. Now, my idea is for
each of us to take a room, furnisn
it complete and place on the door
a plate showing the regiment in
which the man who furnished it
fought,
“To illustrate: I will furnish a
room and place on the door of it a
plate inscribed ‘Thirty-first Geor
gia Regiment ’ and nothing more.
When a man comes to the home
who was a member of the Thirty
first, let him be assigned to this
room, and in this way should s:
visitor who was a member of that
regiment ever visit the home, lit
will know’ just where to locate an
old comrade. Besides furnishing
it, at the outset I will agree to
keep it supplied with sheets, pil
low cases and tovrels as long as 1
live I think that there are in the
state a hundred veterans who will
meet me in this proposittion, one
from each regiment, but if there
are not a hundred my. proposition
goes with any fifty, and I am ready
to furnish my room as soon as the
home is ready for occupancy.”
“What plan woujd you suggest
to secure crockery for the home,” I
asked.
“Oh, that question to answer is
dead easy. The crockery men of
the state, I am satisfied, will give
us all the dishes, plates, etc., that
we want. There is already at the
home a good, cooking range and
water pipes < jruin all through the
building So you see with fifty or
one hundred rooms furnished, and
an ample supply of crockery for
table use r we .will be on easy street.
Then in the spring we will have a
sort of ladies’ day at the home,
when the ladies Can go out, each
with a few plants, and set them
put, so that in a few years the hottie
will be'Sfl'fnlfiTrded with a beauti
ful flower-garden.’’
■*■ Carpets; a*id-< matting for the
rooms andr halls we will of course
•have to buy as well as fuel for
heating, lighting and cooking pur
poses. I do not anticipate any
trtmble in getting the rooms fur
nished., and that very comfortably
if the plan that.l have suggested is
carried out. Georgia had about
rone hundred and fifty regiments in
the service, ■ and ,it looks to me as
if one rnau in fifty or a hundred of
these couid he found who is able
and willing .enough to furnish a
room and dedicate it to the regi
ment to which he belonged. I
1 believe that the home will open
[with not less than a hundred ap-
pficauts, and the sooner it is open*
*e i the better it .will be for illp old
“fellows who want to'go. jfhertj tg

j k SEVEN REPQHFtD KILLED
!in a Colltsslon of Hayy Freight
Trains n ivl ississlpp..
’■ f Vicksburg, Miss., Jan.' V-—-A tel
tephoue message, to the Herald from
Fayette says ttiat two heavy freight
trains on the Yazoo and Missis
sippi Valley railroad collided near
Hays Station, fifty miles south of
here, at cj o’clock tonight and that
the loss of life was heavy. Fayette
and Harrison were called upon for
surgeons, and at the time the mes
sage was sent an engine had just
left for the scene of the wreck, car
rying all the doctors obtainable.
Details are lacking, but it is re
ported that only one of the eight
men composing the crews of the
four engines escaped alive.
The railroad officials here are
unable to get definite details of the
wreck. It is not known what
caused the collision. The .south
bound train, consisting of thirty
loaded grain cars, and drawn by
two large engines, had the right of
way. The collission occurred in a
deep cut between Hays Station
and Lomond, and, i't is said, every
car of the two trains left the
rails. A relief train left Vicksburg
at midnight carrying phs clans a: and
medical supplies. It is impossible
to get a list of the casualties to
night, but it is reported here that
seven members of the crews are
unaccounted for.

More Ready Money Than at Any
Time Since Civil War.
Washington, Dec. 30. —Colonel
G, A. Deane, of little Rock, Ark.,
a Massachusetts man, who for ten
years has been the land commis
sioner of the Iron Mountain Rail
road, said this evening that not
since the civil war had'the people
in the south,including the negroes,
possessed so much ready money.
“Asa rule, negroes working on
the big plantations come out at the
end of the year a little in debt to
the proprietors,” said he. “This
year almost every one of them
raised twenty bajes of cotton and
from the one-third share to which
each negro is entitled who tills a
portion of the soil he found him
self with six or seven bales that
netted him S3OO to S4OO.
“The result is that a great num
ber of these negro laborers have
been buying land in forty-acre lots,
and will start in business on their
n\n accom t. The negro loves to
-Mine cotton and to follow a mule.
This last summer I hired a man to
go with me to my summer home,
where he had litile to do except
attend to my horses. It was an
easy job, but on the way he looked
out of the car window’s and saw a
splendid field of growing cotton.
‘Befo’ Gawd!” he exclaimed, ‘I jes'
wish I could stay heah and help
pick dat field.’ He was sincere
ibout it, The love of raising cot
ton is bred in their bones.”

Charitable institutions have found ’
bitter experience, that catarrhal dil
eases are not only the most numeron,
of all other diseases put together h,
they are the hardest to cure. ’ U *
Peruna is a specific for this class of
diseases. No other remedy can take its
place. Thousands of cases of ehroni
catarrh are cured by the use of 3 i
a bottle. People who have spent larV,
sums to be cured of catarrh,have turned
to Peruna as a last resort, and been
cured by the use of a single bottle.
It is a sure cure for coughs, colds,l a
grippe and catarrh in its many phases.
Whethef the catarrh is located in tin
head, throat, lungs, stomach, kidneys or
pelvic organs, Peruna is a prompt and
never-failing cure.
Mrs. Sarah Jones, Pleasant Plain, la
writes: “I wish to acknowledge my ap

Peruna and Manalin in the treatment of
what was pronounced systemic catarrh,
1 took Peruna for a while and discon
tinued the use of it as I felt so much
better. The latter part of the winter

sickness here, an epidemic of colds ai >i

was soon restored without being pros
