How a Mississippi Ex-Governor Farms on the Bottom. STOCK RAISING AND GRASS CULTURE Vicksburg, Miss., November 20. —[Staff Correspondence Constitution.] •‘And how many acres does he cultivate?” “Well, I could never get him to say, but I think it is about four thousand, though it may be more.” The speaker was Treasurer Hemingway, of this state, and ho was speaking of ex-Govetuor Alcorn's plantation in Cohoama county. Four thousand acres in cultivation is larger than 90 per cent of the farms in Georgia, in cluding every bit of land in the tract. It is a question whether there are ten plantations in Georgia that contain 4,000 acres, and yet here is a Mississippi planter who cultivates that number. Governor Alcorn’s place is admitted to be perhaps the finest in the southwest. A man of largo wealth, he farms in the most liberal manner. Governor Lowry said the other day, speaking of him and his planta tion, there is nothing like it anywhere tn the country. It is more like, an English baronial seat than the river home of a southern plan ter. It is a lordly place, with everything on the most magnificent scale. The house is a perfect palace, built for comfort and enter tainment and furnished with everything that a refined and cultivated taste conld suggest or demand. The plantation is on the same mag nificent scale, and if it could be arranged it would be a treat to any one to spend a day upon that domain.” The gin house on the Alcorn place is about as costly as a Peachtree mansion, it is esti mated that it could not bo replaced for less than thirty thousand dollars. It is necessarily obliged to be largo, for within a very few montlrs throe thousand bales of cotton have to be marketed at that house. I tried to find out how many gins were manipulated, one man told me five and another said seven. Round about where I spent my early days,"about this number of gins marketed the cotton crop of the entire county, and hero you have them performing the work of one plantation. As a matter of course, the Alcorn place is not a fair type of the average Mississippi plan tation. It is true there are others like it in Washington county, and the late Colonel Rich ardson perhaps could have surpassed it in immensity and in interest. These large places are only possible with great wealth, and this characterizes Governor Alcorn and others who run them, but it shows what can be done on the river bottom, or in the •‘Delta country,” as the Mississippians aro pleased to call it. On these largo places stock raising and grass culture arc carried on to a very large extent. The matter is in itsjtoifancy, it’s true now, but already there arc stock farms here where there, arc 60 dams for mules. These mares aro worked to make the corn crop and in harvesting the hay for the entire place. This work is not injurious and adds consider able to the profit of stock raising by making the dam earn her salt in many ways. For the purpose of raising mules, the half Percheron mare is said to bo the best. The finest pair of males 1 ever saw were bred from this stock. They were strong and powerful, and had but little of the heavy clumsiness characteristic of the Percheron stock. With hay the bermuda seems to bo the favorite here now, though it is not as common as with us in Georgia. It is regularlarly culti vated, and the yield is prolific. During the past few months hay has been very scarce, and the price consequently high, and the stockmen have seen the wisdom of raising largo quanti ties of it. In a year or more there will not be a bale of western hay imported in Mississippi. The stock farms are not devoted exclusively to horses and mules, though these aro produced more numerously than any other variety, but on nearly all the large places you see lino cat tle. The Jersey is the most common, though the Durham and Holstein are frequently met with. A gentleman said yesterday that the advantage the Jersey had over the other breeds in the south was the readiness with which it adapted itself to its new surroundings. With the Holsteins. they were good breeds to have on rich bottom lands "where food grew luxuriantly, but for upland places, where a cow had to knock about right smart for her living, the Holstein was not a success. It is a lazy animal; it does not know how to provide for itself, and unless everything is in the great est abundance about it, it will not thrive with out feeding and constant watching. It is su perior to the Jersey in that it is an excellent beef cattle, and the cows at the same time are by no means poor milkers. The most popular cattle down here arc the Devon, for working purposes. What magnificent steers they make! I saw a yoke of tremendous follows that sold for S2IJO, and their weight was some thing over 3,500 pounds. The only objection that could be urged against them was that they were vicious and had local reputations for being most excellent fighters. ‘‘The great mistake with our cattle men,” said a well known raiser, ‘‘is that they will not separate their cattle. They allow all' ages and kinds to run together in the same pasture. I did the same thing once, until I found out better; but now 1 keep my cattle apart. For instance, I place all the old cattle in the same pasture, and, as near as possible, keep the acts together. You take a twelve-month calf and put him into a pasture with a lot of mixed cattle of all ages, and take another calf and let him run with other calves, and at the end of the year see the difference. The calf that has been classified is in every respect worth twice as much as the other, and will sell for such. Breeders of line cattle recognize this fact, but ordinary raisers do not, and conse quently lose much by it.” One of the best specimens of winter proven der in this state is mixed clover, which grows as well as it does in the best sections of Ken tucky. The planters put it in freely, and they are rewarded with as splendid a crop as one could desire. In the spring and summer no better grazing can be found than that afforded by the prairie land, and cattle can bo kept at a nominal cost in largo numbers. It is possible to keep them up in winter by feeding cured prairie grass to them, but this is seldom done unless provender is very scarce. The other, and finer qualities of grass grow too luxuriant ly to make its crop ever a failure, and he is a very poor and indifferent farmer who fails to bale more than enough for winter consump tion. In a former letter I quoted Governor Lowry as saying that there were today more horse and mule colts fn the state than in twenty years past. Everywhere I find the statement verified. I believe honestly, and if there was any way of showing it, the fact would bo as certained that Mississippi raises more mules and homes than Georgia and Alabama com bined. There is hardly a plantation of any size that has not every year from ten to sixty upon it, while those regularly in the business, of course, show up larger numbers. Every animal that is raised meansone less to import, means from §l5O to 8200 kept in tho state, and, if the southern planters could be taught to know this, common reason would seem to indicate that they would, at least, raise enough fur their own needs. “The cost of raising a mule,” said a man to me, “is not more than 810 at the outset, until he is ready for work. This is estimated, for it is seldom, if over, that you pay out directly any money on its ac count. The animal is almost twice as good as a western mile; in the first place, it is already acclimated ; in the next it is tho reliability of tho thing that makes it better. Why,; on I'i'W ail about him, and I'll be •: i J, ■■'r-nqu'i r WgisnMi blamed if that aint a beep to know in the case of a mule.” The number of mules brought from the west into Mississippi is growing smaller, and in a few years will en tirely cease, save in occasional instances. This state is not solely a cotton producing state. It is true that this season the cotton crop here has been better than it has been in any southern state. The early drought did not affect it hero as it did in Georgia. Ala bama and Texas, consequently the yield was better, tho quality better, ami in everyway the crop more of a success. But the corn crop of the state is a largo one. and will hereafter grow larger and larger. The corn lands of Missis sippi yield surprisingly. At tho recent large fair held in tho state tho premium for the greatest number of bushels of corn made per acre was awarded to a man who gathered 115. This was phenomenal, but sixty to seventy-five is not in certain quarters. In Cohoama county, corn is made in a larger quantity than in any county in Georgia; in Washington county, anil in all the delta counties, not very much is raised, but the upland counties in other parts of the state produce well.* Tho state is improv ing greatly in this respect, and if it keeps on will before long have the corn crib and tho smoko house at home. And when that day comes, it can be truly said that Mississippi has really entered upon an era of prosperity. H. H. P. THROWN UP ON THE BEACH. Bodies of the Victims of the Sunken Steamer Scholton. London, November 21.—Two bodies, vic tims of the sunken steamer, W. A. Scholton, by colliding with the steamer Marylßosa, have floated ashore at Deal. There is now no doubt that Captain Taat went down with his vessel. Mr. Robson, ono of tho passengers saved, stated to a reporter that the W. A. Scholton had just weighed anchor when tho collision occurred. There were eight hundred life belts on board and most of tho passengers supplied with them, but they proved useless in a majority of cases, as the people were en- f ulfed witii the ship. The steamer’s decks urst when she was foundering. Tho sunken vessel lies in twenty fathoms of water. Tho survivors will sail for New York Wednesday. Eighty persons in all have been saved from tho wrecked steamer W. A. Scholton. One of the survivors isnanicikKoine. There is an other survivor in the hospital whoso name is not known. Chief Engineer F. Dixhovenwas landed at Seaford yesterday morning. No more bodies have been recovered here. It is the universal feeling that tho fault of tho collision rests with tho steamer Rosa Mary. Chief Mato Wells,Juf that vessel, states she left Hartlepool, on Friday, in command of Captain Webster and with a crew of sixteen men. On the night of the collision there was a shifting fog, sometimes it was dense, while at intervals it was clear. “At about 8:30 o’clock,” he says, “tho collision occurred. We had been at anchor since 8 o'clock. Myself and tho captain were on the bridge. The sea was of tho calmest. Our lights were burning brightly and tho fog bell sounding constantly. I first saw tho colliding steamer off our starboard bow. She was showing white and green lights, indicat ing she was shaping her course to the starboard side. Wo could not shift our position, being anchored and tho tide being ebb. Tho steamer soon ported her holm and attempted to cross our bows. The tide, however, not being right ly judged, settled tho vessel on our bows, cut ting her to the water's edge. I cannot say whether it was the W. A. Scholton that collid ed with us. Whatever vessel it was, she proceeded on her course and soon disappeared in the darkness. We remained at anchor during the night, and were piloted to Dover at 7 o'clock in the morning. There wo docked.” Captain Webster states that tho weather during the voyage was hazy. “Saturday morning there was a heavy fog and the Rosa Mary anchored for three hours off Halford ness. She proceeded at 11 o’clock, and passed East Goodwin lightship at 7in the evening. The fog became so thick that she was com pelled to anchor again at 8 o’clock, the vessel being then from seven to eight miles west southwest of East Goodwin lightship. Tho collision occurred about 10:30 p. m. The fore castle lookout was the first to intimate the ap proach of the vessel. I saw a bright white light a point and a-half off the starboard bow. Soon a green light appeared, indicating that she was passing on our starboard bow. Accompanied by the mate, I went to the upper bridge and saw tho same lights. Suddenly the green light disappeared and a red light was shown. Immediately there was a terrific collision. Tho steamer that struck us proceeded, and no attempt was made to as certain what injury had been done. Tho fog had lifted, revealing tho lights plainly. We signalled for assistance, but none came until morning. New York, November 21.—United States Steamboat Inspector Dey said to-day: “I in spected the Sci.plton last May. She was in first class condition. She bad the required number of life boats and life rafts. She had an over supply of life preservers and cork jackets. She was properly provisioned.” London, November 23.—At the inquest on the recovered bodies of the victims of the W. A. Scholten disaster, tho Rotterdam agent of the steamer testified that there wore 214 per sons aboard, of whom 89 were saved. Tho German steamer Leander, from Cadiz for Hamburg, struck the wreck of tho W. A. Scholten last evening, and was towed to Dover in a sinking condition. The channel has been crowded with vessels for the last few days. Tho wreck of the Scholten lies directly in the path of traffic, and a special lightship has been sent to replace the improvised ono placed over tho wreck yesterday, which was defective. At the inquest today, a steerage passenger, named Hughes, stated that he was picked up by ono of the Scholten’s boats, which was not nearly full. Thocrewof the boat pulled away as soon as the steamer sank. The Scholten’s crew were retarded in lowering the boats by the stiffness of tackle, which had not been used in a long time. Forty nine of the sur vivors have returned to Rotterdam. Dover, November 24.—Five thousand per sons attended tho funeral today of the victims of the W. A. Scholten disaster. There was a general suspension of business in Dover. Tho queen has sent a message of sympathy to tho bereaved families. New York, November 25.—At the office of tho Netherlands American Steamship com pany, a cablegram was received this morning correcting the list of tho missing passengers of the ill-fated steamship Scholten, and stating that tho following bad been saved: Henrp Kenyon, Gustav Brownsky, Hermann Husler, Gustave Wiel. Guisepjio Dcßertoliui, Peter Jemichowsky, Max Broker, Janos J'o chenye, Janos Takase, Johann Gnnd, An dreas Alika, Hermann Weide. It is also stated that tho Scholten will be blown up, as it now impedes navigation. Tho mails li.ive been recovered. It is probable that her pas sengers have been brought to this city on the steamship I*. Lalant, of the same liuei 1; avii there today. "* ■ ' ■— - Good Qualities In a War Hoi sc.

HOW THANKSGIVING DAY PASSED Washington, November 24.—There was nothing unusual in the observance of Thanks giving day in this city. At Central Union mission long tables wcrespread with delicacies and 1,500 poor people wore entertained. Mrs. Cleveland sent a grout quantity of flowers to bo used in decoration, and many well-known matrons donned white aprons and waited on tho tables, while choruses of young ladies sang songs. The president observed tho day quietly, in the morning attending church with Mrs. Cleveland, and in tho afternoon eating his Thanksgiving dinner at Oak View with Mrs. Cleveland and her three lady guests. New York, November 24. —Thanksgiving day was observed in New York with more ap parent interest than usual. The weather was clear, with a tinge of frost in tho atmosphere, and all services at churches were well attend ed. Down town exchanges and all places of business were closed. Special services were held in tho churches, special dinners served at hotels, extra lunches placed on tho counters of saloons and exciting games contested on grounds devoted to athletic sports. Up town stores were uot generally open, and nearly all were closed at noon. Tho railways, both surface and elevated, carried unusually largo crowds of passengers. Baltimore, November 24.—Thanksgiving day passed very quietly in Baltimore. There was an almost constant rain, and tho atmos phere was raw and disagreeable. In tho fore noon the churches in which services were held wore fairly well filled, and in tho afternoon and evening there were crowds at tho theaters. Business was entirely suspended and tho holi day was more general than for years past. Charleston, 8. C., November 24.—Thanks giving day was generally observed here. There was a partial suspension of business and services wore held in nearly all the churches, sermons referring, in most cases, to tho deliv erance of tho city from destruction by tho earthquake. Richmond, Va., November 24.—Thanksgiv ing day was very generally observed in this city. Churches were filled with large congre gations in the forenoon and business during tho day was almost entirely suspended. Mat inees at places of amusement were well pat ronized. Tho weather was partly cloudy, but quite pleasant. Berlin, November 24.—A Thanksgiving banquet was given to the American colony at the Hotel Armin today. Mr. Pendleton, United States minister, presided. London, November 24.—Sir Edward Thorn ton presided at tho Thanksgiving banquet given by the American club, this evening. Many prominent Americans were present. Magon, Ga., November 24.—[Special.] —This morning dawned clear and cloudless, and never was amoro beautiful day seen in Macon. From 6 o’clock last evening until sunset to day the boys were busy renting guns, having cartridges fitted and so on. By noon today tho streets looked deserted and the old town looked awfully dull, and sundry good citizens wended their several ways homeward to enjoy the glorious immuni ties and privileges of Thanksgiving. Most of tho business houses of any conse quence closed up at 10 o’clock, and at tho churches in all parts of the city and suburbs Thanksgiving services were held. It was ono of the most enjoyable holidays that Macon has over witnessed. Some went away, some stayed nt home, and a very few kept tho same old daily routine of business. Such as tho last mentioned found only Sunday business in Macon today. A number of churches in tho city liold special thanksgiving service yesterday. Among those that were opened were tho First Methodist on Peachtree, St. Lnko's Epis copal, tho Church of tho Redeemer, tho Church of Our Father, St. Philip’s, Central Presby terian, and a number of others. Excellent sermons were preached in each church, in tho majority of cases the minister being other than the pastor of the chinch. This was because several congregations united in thanksgiving service and the pastor gave way to ono of those who had been invited to assist. The music was an especial feature of tho day’s exercises. Special programmes had been prepared, and the best voices of several choirs joined together in rendition of selections appropriate to tho occasion. Tho congrega tions, while largely composed of ladles, were unusually large, and it was generally r< mark ed tliat the thanksgiving exercises were better attended than ever before. ——— HE GOT THERE. New Y'ork Telegram. About a week ago a Harlem hotel and res taurant keeper received from a friend tn the south a nice, fat opossum for bis Thunk, giving dinner, and as the an'mul was but little known in Harlem the proprietor of the hotel hung It us a curiosity in front of tho restaurant along with a number of chickens and turkeys. Until last night the “ ’pos sum” hung almost unnoticed. It was supposed to be either a rabbit or a large squirrel. About eleven o'clock list night, us the restaurant was filled with up town theatre goers, an old gray haired colored man stopped for a moment in fr m of the store, and his eye rested on tho “’possum.” A look of surprise was followed by ono of lucre dull'y, but a nearer view satisfied the old man that t was tho bona fide article, and a wistful look camo Into his face ns ho entered tho restaurant. One last, fond look at the “ ’possum," and ho slowly diaappeare 1 down the avenue. Ten minute! passed, when once again the old man appeared before the window. The “ 'pos nm” was cnee more fondled and admired, and again the oldman dlsappiared. Tho crowd was utxiut to leave the tables when once again tho old man en tered tho restaurant. “’Cure me, boa«,” said tho old darky to tho cashier; “is tliat a ’possum outside?” “Yes, sir," replied tho cashier. “A real old'jKissum from Vlrginny? What might be the price of It?” asked tho oi l man, diving Into his po kets and bringing to light a few ten cent pieces and coppers. “It is not for sale,” replied the cashier. The old sun shambled toward tho door. Return ini-to the desk, he laid seventy-three cents on tho t >p. “111 glvo you that for tho ’lajseum,” said tho < 11 man, but tho clerk could not be moved, and tho ten rs started In tho old man's eyes as ho kit the restaurant for the last time. It was probably fifteen minutes later when the old darky was s en walking biiskly toward tho restau rant. He stopped for a moment In front of tho ••’possum,” looked hastily about and with a sweep of n knllo parted tho “ ’jios.-um” from tho string and stui n d down the avenue UkO a three rm r-obl with tho “ 'po :m” mi l- , his arm.

Home to be Erected for the Veterans of the Confederacy* Columbia, S. C., November 24.—[Special.]— Olio of the most important bills to bo intro duced into tho house of representatives within the next few days is one by Dr. Popo, a repre sentative from Newberry, tho object of which is to provide a state home for the disabled cou ftdernto soldiers and suitors of South Carolina. Tho provisions of this bill include, lirst, a call for tho donation of not less than 100 acres of laud and S2S,(MX) for the buildings to bo erect ed, from any locality in the state ; the board of trustees contemplated in tho bill to pass upon and decide the location from among those proffered. The entire management of the in stitution will be vested in this board of trus tees, tho members of which are named in tho bill, and include the most prominent of the state's confederate leaders. Tho number of benoiiciaries to bo admitted to tho home is to be equal to the representation of both houses of the legislature, and apportioned among the various counties in proportion to their repre sentation in the legislature. The bill further provides for an annual appropriation by the legislature of 525,000 for tho support of the in stitution. The measure will doubtless go through both houses witii little or no opposi tion. . An Accident on tho Cincinnat t Southern. Chattanooga, Tenn., November 24, —[Spo- c’.aE|—A terrible collision occurred on the Cincinnati Southern road, near Nemo, ninety live miles north of this city, last night, be tween an extra freight train going north and freight No. 15 coming south. Both engines were badly wrecked and seven cars of tho ex tra were telescoped. Fireman Ben Cook, of Science 11 ill, Ky., was instantly k illed, and brakeman deorgo Leniming, of Ludlow, Ky., was crushed so that lie died at 4 o’clock this morning. Engineer Hollenback was badly scalded about tho legs and feet. Conductor Watson was seriously hurt. The wreck was a bad one and the road was not cleared until 11 o’clock this morning. The blame for the ac cident is placed <>n the night operator at Lan .sing, and Hie conductor and engineer of tlie south bound train. Farmer Tillman's Measure. Columbia, S. C„ Novombor24.—[Special.]— Ata special meeting this morning of tho board of trustees of the state university a resolution was adopted recommending to the legislature a plan to reorganize the South Carolina college upon a thorough university basis, witii exten sive enlargements in all tho existing depart ments, the addition of several new depart ments, and in particular tho material enlarge ment of the agricultural branch of the institu tion. The recommendation as tho later feature is made, it is to be presumed, for the purpose of conciliating and meeting the wants of that class of the farming element of the state, who, led by ’‘Farmer” Tillman, aro now clamoring for the establishment of a separate agricultural college. r J'ho legislature will doubtless adopt tho recommendation of tlie board of trustees. Two Children Burned to Death. Columbia, S.

One was Love’s child and the other tho child of Sarali Mctjueen, who lived with them. Both mothers were working in a th Id m ar by, and heard the cries of their children, but supposed they wore call ing for nothing in particular, and did not pay any attention to their call until it was too late. Love’s former wife was burned up in her house several years ago. —♦ ■ •11 vc Children In One Year. Columbus, S.
