THE SOUTH_AS IT IS.
The Mississippi Farmers and
Their Profits.
HOW THE COTTON TAX AFFECTS THEM
Oi'.kbxvii.llk, Miss., November 12th.—
[Staff Correspondence Constitution.] —With
the richest land in the world, with thousands
of acres, with ample and cheap means of reach
ing great markets, there is no reason in the
world why the Mississippi planter should not
become the richest of all agricultural people.
These arc broad assertions, I grant you, but
they arc too true to allow disbelief to enter; in
fact, the only man who really honestly doubts
the final success of the planter of this state is
the planter himself.
And why should he?
Because, first, he has had for twelve long
years an unbroken run of bad luck, bad crops,
overflows, labor troubles, every imaginable
financial disorder, with not oven an occasional
gleam from the clouds. Because, though he
be noble by reason of his many and his broad
acres, he is a knight without retainers, a noble
w ithout serfs. His lands may be as rich as
gold ;to change the figure, black as lead, they
are richer than gold to the husbandman who
generously and honestly works them; but no
matter how rich they are, they have for over
twelve years been nothing but a source of
debt, of trouble, of dishonor to him.
Willing to fly from his troubles, the
(KK>r planter has been forced to
stay because none would buy of him, it mat
tered not the price. A man told me the other
nicht on the train that he had four thousand
acres of prairie and wood land in Benton
county. For eight years ho had planted it,
growing poorer every year; ho saw ruin star
ing him in the face, and he left, going to Bir
mingham. That land, an acre of which would
make over 500 pounds of lint cotton, had for
four years been standing idle because no one
would give five thousand dollars for four
thousand acrcr.
I asked him, “What was the trouble?’’
“The labor,” said lie. “Why, sir, able bodied
negroes that onght, on ordinary land, to have
made ten bales of cotton to the mule, only
made tin eh re. You couldn’t get them to
work.” *
Such was the comment of the Mississippi
farmer, now a resident of Birmingham, and he
was then on his way to that Benton county
place, with money drawn from his business, to
pay taxes on the land.
Now let us take another case. I met yester
day a Cohoama county planter who held
nearly three thousand acres. He had just
finished disposing of about 300 bales of cotton,
a part of his crop of 000. His land, if any
thing, was poorer than thcJßenton man’s, but
ho worked a different system, though he em
ployed the sa no labor. He paid standing wages
of 8W and SIOO per year with board, planted
about 700 acres in cotton, worked it well,
as the yield showed, but in addition ho raised
what? If I were to relate the number of bush
els of sweet potatoes ho dclarcd he got from an
ordinary acre, the variety being the “Southern
Queen,” my veracity would bo injured! He
raised corn enough for his mules; he was forced
to buy his meat for tho reason that for some
physical reason perhaps, his hogs would die
every year,but he bought for cash nt low prices
and in big quantities, and that man was rich,
was up in the world, dressed well, rode in a
three hundred dollar buggy, and had served a
term in the Mississippi legislature.
Hero, tho two systems contrasted as to
results.
The talc of distress that for twenty years has
come from the river bottom of Mississippi
is The new order lias begun, it
is cvlffcd in brighter prospects, brighter
faces, brighter homes. As Governor Lowry
said yesterday, “what a wonderful thing is a
good crop year upon the people,” and when he
went on to explain, to show how for the last
three years the crops had been getting better
ami better, until tho past season tho result was
a good corn crop ami a fair cotton crop, it was
easy to realize what rain and sunshine meant
to the planter—rain and sunshine at tho right
time.
it is impossible to give anything like an ex
act or perfect comparison of Mississippi’s con
dition. A most extraordinary phenomenon
presented itself when I began an examination
of tho books, that I hastily closed them. For in
stance, in ISS4, the order in which the coun
ties returning tho largest valuation stood, was
Hinds, Lowndes and Warren; in 18s5, the
order was I'amd.i, barren, Hinds; here you
see a county, Panola, way down the list in
1881 heading tho procession in 1885, while
the county of Hinds first in 1881 is
last in 1885, There the figures stand on tho
books, and there is no explanation. Tho aud
itor can give you none, for he does not detail
liis reports of county values, showing how
much live stock, implements, cash, watches,
etc., were on band. Details are scorned in his
office, aggregates, sum totals are solely dealt
with. Baffled here, what am I to do? A
modest inquiry resulted in the information that
tho proper officer in each of the 71 counties
might supply the need!
The big river planters, those who farm the
bottou s along the Mississippi, arc forever
gambling with nature. Every seed that they
put in the ground has to be han hed with the
same degree v( skill almost that a general .
would employ in carrying out some great stra- i
getir plan. The I cd, turbid stream along :
their westi n> border is a kind of guerilla
fi i< nd to them—it is the river that makes the ■
land so incomparably rich, that annually
gives to it what thousands of dollars
could t>< t artificially supply, yearly enrich
ment ; but while doing all this for them, the
river frequently sweeps from them, atone
blow, the year s work.
Itisimvo bl" to conceive of the damage
to fam .ng interests in this state by overflow
of the river.
A regularly planned campaign is waged
aga nd it, tlx ler eo Is ing the salient point. In
ko pi: g up that levee, without which farming
o|,erat ens would U iui]»<ssiblo, some interest
ing . ip and f lets are here given. The river
affects, by its ovi rtlpw, not only the part of
the county ly ng along side, but the entire
county, and in addition the county behind the
} one on the river A double row of counties
’ along the Mississippi river, in this state, are
i continually endeavoring to chi ck the progress-
I ive rise of that majestic stream.
St hat are < ailed “ievoc districts” are organ
ized. The-o districts are composed of from
two to three or four counties, charged with
the task <4 keeping the river in control. The
first weapon to bo employed in doing this is
money. How money enters into every thing,
' The amount is never a regular one for the rca
i son that it under no circumstam cs could ever
I lie too large. The world itself, with its inillk'ns,
I can not control that river. As I used to hear
in my childhood, "damn it, you can’t.” At
any rate as much money as can be raised is se
cured. A cotton tax i« a kind of favorite way of
raising tho mouey. Every bale of cottonjpro
' duecd in the county is taxed so much in snp
■ port of the levee. Cotton lieing tho principal
: thing ass ei ted, it seems but right that it should
; be made to bear the brunt, but when the levee
1 tax gets to la>S 1.2.5 perbale.it looks hard upon
I the planter. Other sort of assessments ant
I emplvyixl, everything being made to pay
I tr iiutc.
Os late y ears n ratlicrnovel nietl oi! 1 is been
i substituted for tho more primitive stylo, and
[ that is issuing what are known as “levee
bomis,” The. territory isdivhkd into distri. ts.
! and each district takes upon itself the task of
floating a certain amount of the bonds, of
worse guaranteeing the y< :>i y • aym nt of
interest. The legislature is applied to, and it
gives the desired legal permission, the state,
however, assuming no responsibility in the
matter. Although the only thing in tho world
' that stands towards tlie bondholder in the
way of security for the payment,
is the pro rata share of land of
: each party entering into the arrangement,
1 these bonds are sold at par, always command
good prices, are regarded as good as state
bonds, and, like state bonds, are non-taxable.
The money derived from the sale of the
| bond is expended in work of a permanent
character upon the levee; a system of careful
j watching during spring floods is inaugurated,
and every year an assessment ta made for the
i payment of the annual interest upon these
bonds.
I asked Governor Lowry, a day or two ago,
who purchased these bonds, |ho replied that
they sold easily in New Y’ork, and also in the
< state and in New Orleans; that the late Colo
nel Richardson, tho large planter, held several
] hundred thousands of them. A levee bond is
gilt edged.
Tho rate of assessment for support of the
levee of course is not uniform. The. planter
fifty miles from the river is not taxed as high
I as the planter on the banks, for the reason that
he suffers less from overflow. The process of
arranging the assessments and of successfully
organizing the plan is a difficult and trouble
some one, and is here cited simply to show
what tremendous disadvantages accompany
planting in the bottoms. In compensation, the
earth is wonderfully genefous, and if the plan
ter employs any sort of management, and is
blessed with any sort of year, his crop would
lie accounted in Georgia “a mighty fine show
ing.”
lhe day is rapidly coming when the greater
potion of Mississippi will be devoted to stock
raising. Especially the prairie belt, where the
grass is luxuriantly abundant, and where
numerous water courses run. Five hundred
times the amount of cotton produced by the
state now could be raised in one section of tho
state—the delta part, if it was protected. It
will be years ’yet before it will be done, for the
reason that there is no pressing necessity ; but
when immigration shall have filled (this coun
try to tho point where available space is desir
able and necessary, the delta country will bo
looked after, and tho world will see more and
finer cotton than it has ever yet seen.

VIRGINIA POLITICS.
Among the visitors to the city yesterday was
Mr. D. W. Spencer, junior member
of tho firm of D. H. Spencer &
Son, a firm that is the sole manufactu
rers of the celebrated Calhoun chewing tobac
co, at Spencer, Henry county, Virginia.
“I will say this about the internal revenue
business,” said Air. Spencer, in response to an
inquiry about how the people of Virginia
felt, towards tho president’s message. “Any
party that attempts to carry that law will not
tie able to carry Virginia. I have had no
time to even read the message, and no time to
talk with the people about it, but I know the
temper of tho people about this law, and there
is no doubt whatever.”
“Was it in any way an issue in the last con
gressional campaign?”
“Not directly; but in all the congres
sional races prior to the last the re
publican party was carrying tho inter
nal revenue laws. General Cabell, one
of the most popular men in our section, had
promised our people for twelve years to have
their lands repealed. He fought them vigor
ously in his campaign speeches, and carried
the district in previous campaigns by largo
majorities, as high as forty-five hundred, in
tho last campaign his opponent camo squarely
out on this issue, and claimed that Gcneral.C.
had been tried for twelve years and failed. As
a republican he claimed ho could aid in it, and
do more than had been done, and he was elect
ed by thirty-five hundred majority over General
Cabell. So yon see the way a change of about
eight thousand votes in one district, and just
following the election of a democratic presi
dent.”
“There is no use talking,” ho continued.
“There are thousands of good democrats in
Virginia who will not vote for any party that
indorses this outrageous law. The reason is
plain—this law taxes one of the main products
of our soil eight cents per pound, and handi
caps our farmers that much in competing with
other countries that raise tobacco. Sugar is
just as much a luxury as tobacco. Suppose
the democratic party wore to favor a
tax of even one cent per pound
on sugar. Can any sane man
believe that Louisiana and other sugar grow
ing stated would vote lor the party that
favored sucli a tax?”

Anti-prohibition in Atlanta.
The stationhouse presented a remarkable
spectacle last night. It was a veritable pan
demonium. Shortly after dark the telephone
began ringing and the call officer was kept
bnsy dispatching officers to various parts of
the city in response to the summons through
the 'phone. It took most of tho time of Dr.
Foute to receive the prisoners and book their
names and offenses. So many cases were re
corded that the last pages of the record book
were covered by 10 o’clock, and a new book
was opened. Before 2 o’clock this morning
two pages of this book were covered with the
names of persons arrested and brought to tho
station house in a state of helpless intoxica
tion. From dark to midnight, twenty-eight
cases of drunk and disorderly had been
booked. Most of the men were colored, but a
number of white men were given a cell for the
night. The drunks did not come in tho cate
gory of “harmless,” for two-thirds of tho ine
briates had bleeding noses and smashed heads.
They must have imbibed a wild and fiery
brand of liquor, for nearly every one of them
was imbued with a pugnacious disposition
which Would not tamely submit to arrest. The
policemen had a very hard time. They were
several times forced to use their clubs to bring
some desperate fellow to a state of submission.
Blood about the police headquarU rs was plen
tiful, and curses and vile epithets tilled the
buibling. The scene was one which it would
require a graphic pen to properly describe.
A Triple Alliance.
Unhappily for the wretched victim of their
r. -.inlts, dyspepsia, constipation and bilious
ness are faithful allies. When one of those
foe attack the system, the other two speedily
follow in its wake, and successively make
their onslaught. Successively, but not suc-
if Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters be
x;sed to repel the onset. Tho Bitters as easily
extiq ates those monsters as St. George is de
picted in the act of doing to the dragon in the
st< el vignette upon tin- gla>s bottles which
contain the medicine. ’The Bight, like their
advance, is nearly simultaneous. Their mutu
ality destroyed, they precipitately retreat,
i leaving health master of the position and
strongly entrenched by tho Bitters. This
grand fortifier is also a reliable bulwark
j against the insidious assaults of malarial dis
• ase, and stops the apprmch of rlmumatism
It, moreover, relieves nervous complaints, and
I imparts vigor to the weak.

CRIMINALJALENDER,
An Old Man Surrenders His Son
To the Officers.
A WOMAN’S TERRIBLE REVENGE
Birmingham, Ala.,December IL—[Special.]
Tom Key, one of the worst and most daring
outlaws of modern times, was arrested in
Walker county yesterday for attempting to
kill his aged father. Ten or twelve years ago
he was known in that county as a desperate
horse thief. Ho was finally captured, after
being desperately wounded, and lodged in jail.
Soon after ho recovered from his wounds he
escaped and again entered upon a career of
outlawry. He burned houses, robbed and
plundered until he was tho terror of the coun
try. Ho finally disappeared for awhile and
was next heard of in Mississippi, where he
stole several horses. Being closely pursued
while in possession of a fine stolen horse, he
killed the animal and taking to the woods suc
ceeded in making his escape. Some three years
ago, tho courthouse with all the records
of Walker county were destroyed by fire,
and among the other papers were all the
indictments against Key. He, no doubt,
knew of tho fire and its results, and recently
returned to the homo of his parents in the
mountains, about twenty miles from Jasper,
the county seat. For a while he xvas conceal
ed by relatives and friends, but recently ho
assaulted his old father and threatened to kill
him. In addition to that he set fire to the
barn and burned the products of the old man’s
farm. The father could stand it no longer and
procuring a warrant he directed the officers to
his son’s hiding place. Key was captured
after a bloody fight with tho officers and did
not surrender until he received a load of buck
shot. He is seriously wounded.
John AV. Orr Killed by M. A. !’■ ’’lips in a
Barroom.
Flowery Branch, December s.—[Spi dal.]
A fatal cutting affray occurred atE. If. Camp’s
barroom, halt a mile from this place, last
night about 10 o’clock, between M. A. Phillips
and John AV. Orr, in which the latter was
mortally wounded. It seems that only a few
words were passed between them, which were
relative to an old grpdge, when Orr struck
Phillips with a stick two or three times, twice
knocking him to his knees. In the affray
Orr’s clothing was cut in several
places. _ Only one place did it
reach his flesh, which xvas between
the fifth and sixth rib of the left breast, going
into his heart, from which he died in about
five or ten minutes.
A Gang Brought to Fort Worth for Safe
Keeping.
Fort Worth, December B.—After months
of watching and pursuit, the leaders of the fa
mous Brooking gang of thieves and train rob
rers were last night taken to jail. The entire
ranger force of the Pan Handle, in command
of Captain McMurray, and-the sheriffs of
three counties, with their deputies, have been
at work on these cases for nearly a year. Tho
scene of depredations was in Childress, Will
burger, Baylor and adjoining portions of the
state. The robbers lived in canons and caves
and were well organized. All big ranchmen
have suffered at their hands, and in one case a
whole herd of cattle were stolen in Green
county and taken to Kansas and sold. The
tram on its arrival last night had the appear
ance of being a little army, Winchesters and
revolvers appearing in large numbers.
Potter, the Object of Bliss Lloyd’s Revenge,
Horribly Injured.
[Miss Lloyd, a young lady of Reading Pa.,
was in love with a young man by the name
of Potter, who after an earnest appeal to her,
refused to marry her. She became enraged
and avowed revenge. A few days afterwards
site offered him a cup which contained vitriol,
and requested him to drink it. Ho refused,
and she thereupon dashed it into his face,
with the result below.]
Reading, I’a., December B.—[Special. ]—Miss
Lloyd, the vitriol thrower, has left the city,
and public sentiment has become so aroused
against her that she will probably not return.
Mr. Potter has been seen by some friends, and
it is found that he is injured in a most terrible
manner. His eyebrows have been burned off,
his nostrils part ly eaten away, his cheek burned
and scarred, and the flesh is sloughing off his
chin and throat. He will bear the marks of
the assault until his dying day. It is positively
ascertained that Miss Lloyd attempted to have
him drink the vitriol, and when she found sho
could not kill him she determined to disfigure
him for life.
A Farmer and Negro Farm Hand Found
Dead on the Roadside.
Birmingham, Ala . December 9.—[Special.]
News reached the city today of a shocking
crime near Longview, a small station on the
Louisville and Nashville railroad, thirty-five
miles south of the city. An old farmer named
Colman, and a negro employed on his farm,
drove to Longview in a wagon for tho purpose
of buying some supplies. Colman had about
8400 in Ills possession, and the money was seen
by several people intown. When they finished
their trading, lato in the afternoon, Colman
and the negro drove out a few miles from town
and camped for the night. The next morning
tho dead bodies of the two men were fouud
lying by the camp fire. Their heads had been
split open with an ax and the body of Colman
had been robbed of the §4OO. The neighbor
hood was infested with tramps, and some of
them are supposed to have committed the
deed. An inquest was held today, but no clue
to the murderers xvas discovered.
Chicago Jail Officials Find One of Their
Prisoners xvith Pistol and Ammunition.
Chicago, December 10.—Officials of the
county jail are in almost a frenzy of fear and
uncertainty over disclosures regarding the sur
reptitous possession of contraband articles by
the prisoners. The finding of bombs in Lingg’s
cell has never been traced to its depth.
Neither have tho persons been discovered who
furnished several doses of poison taken by
George Engle. On Saturday last, a forty-four

Catarrh in the Head
■t i nates in scrofulous taint in ths Uaol. Hence
the proper method bv which to cure catarrh, is to
pn, ifu the Its many disagreeable symptoms,
and the danger of aex'eloping into bronchitis or
that terribly fatal disease, consumption, are en
tirely removed by Hood’s S irsaparilla, which cures
catarrh by purifying the blood. Read the following
letter:
“I cheerfully give my experience in the use of
Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I had been troubled with
catarrli to some extent for a long time, and had
used various medicines with no good results, when
I was so affected tliat
Speech Was Difficult
and my voice was entirely unnatural. I then
began to use Hood’s Sarsaparilla as a remedy, and
with such good effect that in a few weeks speech
uas easy, the voice natural, and my general
health was much improved. Sometimes a return
of the disease is induced by taking cold, when
I resort at once to the use of Hood’s Sarsaparilla,
which I keep by me constantly, and always
find relief. I regard flood's Sarsaparilla as an
invaluable remedy for catarrh, and judging by its
effects upon myself I cannot say too much in its
praise.” J. S. Cilley, Jericho, Vt.

Catarrh may affect any portion of the body
where the micous membrane is found. But
catarrh of the head is I y far tho mr*st common,
and, strange to say, the most liable to be negleete 1.
The wonderful success Hood's Sarsaparilla has
had in curing catarrh warrants us in urging all
who suffer with this disease to try the peculiar
medicine. It renovates and invigorates the blood,
and tones every organ.
N. B. If you have <’eciled to get Hood's Sarsa*
parilla do not be induced to take any other.
• I have been troubled with catarrh a year, caus
ing great soreness oi the bronchial tubes and
Terrible Headache.
I read that Hocds Sarsaparilla would cure,
catarrh, and after taking one bottle I am much
better. My catarrh is cured, my throat is entirely
xvell, and my headache has all disappeared.”'
11. Gibbons, Hamilton, Butler Co., O.
“Hood’s Sarsaparilla cured me of miller’a
catarrh, and built up my general health, so that
I am feeling better than for years. It is the first
medicine I ever knew of which would cure miller’s
catarrh.” George Foster, MUler at Wright’s Mill.
