VOL. 1. Central and South America are eager for more railroads. So is Mexico. T'ue growth of horse racing in the last ten years is illustrated by tho fact that iu 1880 the money added to prizes by the racing associations amounted to £IBO,OOO. Now it reaches £4,000,000. The plan of forming an athletic asso ciation from members of the New York National Guard is, declares the San Francisco Chronicle , a gocd one. The training will be of more service in phys ical development than the regular drill. According to Bradstreets the consump tion of fruit iu the United States, as of many other products, exceeds that of any other country. Although large pro ducers and exporters, we are still depend ent to a considerable extent upon foreigu countries for supplies. The women’s building at the Chicago fair is to be next door to the United States Government building. Uncle Sam will find out, predicts the Boston Tran script, that Columbia’s daughters mean to help in the government before Colum bus has discovered this country another 400 years. Canine fidelity,- according to a recent writer, is declining. As careful breed ing develops the beauty and amiability of the dog the stronger and more savage traits of his nature are eliminated; and though gentler, and a safer pet, the dog of the future will lack the intensity ol devotion which marked former typeL * The St. Louis Republic soliloquizes thus: “When one compares the Italians who land from the emigrant steamship; with the same men six mouths afterward as they trudge through with shovels and picks in hand, rough as they, may look in their working clothes, the poverty they have left behind them and the prospertty they enjoy is plainly evi dent. The lifting up - power in this country is something wonderful.” The farmers have now iu Pennsyl vania, for two years, been relieved of the heavy burden of fencing their grow ing crops to protect them. . Generally the change gives satisfactiou, states the New York Independent, though iu the wooded areas those who have been ac customed to leave their stock to run at large, feel it to be a burden placed upou them that they can no longer do this. There is little doubt but that fences will finally disappear in that State on farm lands. After calling attention to the fact that only five per cent., or 18,270, of the total immigration to this country during the last fiscal year settled iu the South, the New Orleans Times-Democrat says: “The question of foreign immigration, there fore,can scarcely be regarded as a pressing problem in this section, since a move ment of this size is inappreciable in its effects. There is a considerable immi gration into the South,but it is from the North and West, of persons of American birth, so that this section remains dis tinctively American in race and nation ality.” Missouri’s peach crop last year was es timated at £10,000,003. This year it is larger, and judging from the activity of tho fruit-growers, 'the State in a few years will rank first as a peach producer. What is is known as the Ozark belt in southwestern Missouri is particularly fa vorable to the growth of this fruit. The rolling plateaus possesses a rich red soil: they are free froth winds and are blessed with abundance of rain. Last year over three millions of trees were set cut, cov ering an area of twenty thousand acres. A still greater number of trees will bt planted this year. An insurance man is responsible foi the following statement: “The com plete record of fire losses in New York City for the first seven months of the current year is about equal to the amount paid in for insurance. The premiums for the whole year amount to £5,500,000, and the losses up to the present date are a little over £4,500,000. Deduct from what is left the office expenses, and if we don’t have another fire in five months we may skin through without actual loss. That’s showing we can make. The real trouble is with the companies themselves that fight and cut one an other’s throats iu tue struggle for busi ness. It is no wonder that the stock holders are becoming dissatisfied because of the inadequateness of the dividends.’ State nf tlaiir lettii THROUGH DIXIE. NEWS OF THE SOUTH BRIEFLY PARAGRAPHED Forming’ an Epitome of Daily Happenings Here and There. _ Will am A. Spotswool, a veteran of three wars, died in Mobile, Ala., Mon day. F. L.

Instead of £2,000, as reported, they secured $15,000. A Birmingham dispatch says: W. H. David-on, the leader of what remains of the greenback labor party in Ala bama, was on Thursday arested by Post office Inspector Pierce, charged with embezzlement. Davidson lived at Ha leysvile, Winston county, where he is postmaster, and he is accused of embez zling £563 of pos.toffice funds. - A Mobil# dispatch of Saturday says: The war department has just completed the transfer to Mount Vernon barracks, Alabama, of thirty-eight Apache prison ers, men, women and children, mem bers of the Chiricahwa, Warm Springs and Mcscalero bands, the remnant of Geronimo’s hostiles, who have hereto fore been incarcerated at Fort Wingate, New Mexico. * In the Tenneese house of Representa tives, on Tuesday, an opinion from Attor uey General Pickle was represented, in which he declared that the penitentiary lessees had no authority to sublease con victs. Thereupon the house. adopted a resolution instructing the board of prison inspectors to order all convicts from branch-prisons, except chose owned and run by the lessees. A Dallas, Texas, dispatch says: Late reports from immediate localitiea devel op the fact that the cotton crop will not be as great as was first supposed in that section though no worms have yet ap peared. It has been suggested by a Dallas county farmer that the people hold back their cotton as long as possible for higher prices. He advocates the plan originat ed in South Carolina, and his advice may be taken. , A Savannah dispatch says: The offi cers and stockholders of the Southbound railroad and South Carolina commission made a trip of inspection over the new road Tuesday from Savannah to Denmark, the crossing*with the South Carolina rail road. The road is completed from Sav annah 110 miles toward Columbia. S. C. The remaining thirty miles will be com pleted by October Ist, when the road will be in operation through to Columbia. A dispatch from Asheville, N. C., says: Another horrible accident was probably avoided on the Richmond and Danville, rear Marion, Friday night, by a colored man discovering a fill in the road had washed away. Knowing the western bound train was about due, he set out at the top of his speed to wave it down, which he did in just eight minutes after discovering the washout. A sum of money was given him by the train’s pas sengers as a reward for his heroic action. A Birmingham. Ala., says: At a club meeting Friday, two letters, written by Hector D. Lane to Commis sioner Kolb, just after the burning of the governor in effigy at Athens Inst winter, will be made public. They denounce the governor in the strongest terms, and declare the writer’s sympathy with the effigy burning. As the governor has just appointed Lane commissioner on his de nial of sympathy with the burning, these letters are rare and racy. A dispatch of Friday from Florence, Ala., states that the effect of the cool weather on the cotton crop is beginning to be noticed now, and the prospect for a good crop is more gloomy than j&t any time during the year. The August crop is shedding its squares and young bulls rapidly, which, in addition to the rust which has made its appearance duiing the pa=t week, promises to be somewhat disastrous to the crop. It is estimated that the crop will be 20 per cent, less than it was thought to be one week ago Thk report of ttie Commissioner of Labor of Massachusetts shows that sixty-six per cent, of the persons employed in manu facturing and mechanical industries in that State earn lass than $1.60 a day. This iUr eludes both sexes. TRENTON, GA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1891- crop BULLETIN. Cold Weather Has Seriously In jured Cotton. The weather crop bulletin issued from the Agricultural Department et Wash ington for week ended September sth, says: The week has been cooler than usual in all districts east of the Rocky mountains, while to the westward, on the Pacific coast, the excess in tempera ture above normal for the week ranged from 3 to 5 degrees. Frost occurred during the week from Wisconsin south westward to Colorado, but it has not yet reached the principal corn states with sufficient severity to cause any par ticular injury to the crops. More than the usual amount of rainfall occurred in the northern portion of the cotton region east of the Mississippi, in southeast Florida, northeast Michigan, and in limited areas in the Ohio valley and to the west of the Mississi ppt. General rams occurred along the Alleghany range, while light showers are reported in all other sections east of the Rocky mountains, except in. southeast Texas. No rain occurred on the Pacific coast. REPORTS FROM THE STATES. Virginia—All crops advanced, but to bacco needs dry, warm weather. North Carolina—Cotton is opening very slowly; some lust and shedding reporte i. Tobacco curing is progressing rapidly. The weather has been too cool for the best results. South Carolina—Cotton has been se riously injured by tjie cool, cloudy weather and continued heavy rains, the injury beißg estimated at from 20 to 30 per cent. Nearly five inches of rain fell. Alabama —There has been no material change in the condition of the cotton crop since last report. Rains arrived rather late for cotton, but benefitted po tatoes and vegetables. Mississippi—A cool, but sunshiny week. Cotton is suffering badly from the com bined (fforts of drought, rust, worms and opening of immature bolls, and pro mises from 2 to 4 per cent, less than a month ago. Other immature crops are beginning to suffer permanent injury. Louisiana —The weather has been un favorable to cane and cotton, rust and shedding reported from the northern par ishes, the cool nights injuring the top cotton crop. Rice is being harvested with good yields. Warm rains are need ed. Arkansas —The weather has been fa vorable to all crops save cotton, which continues to deteriorate. The cool nights have been injurious, and the condition of cotton has fallen off from 10 to 25 per cent. Texas—Unless general rains fall within 1 ten days the late cotton and the top crop will be light. The cool weather has checked the ravages of the boll worm. Cotton picking is progressing rapidly. The grounds too dry for plow,ng. Tennessee—The growth of cotton has been checked by the cool night 3 . Late corn and tobacctr are doing well. Fall plowing has been retarded by the dry weather. Crops generally are in a prom ising condition. It is reported that the cotton crop in the country surrounding Anniston will not average much over 50 per cent. It has been from two to three weeks late all the year, but until two weeks ago the prospects for an average yield were good, but about that time rust was discovered in spots and it has gradually spread ever since until now no more than half a crop is expected. MORE TRAIN ROBBING. Masked Highwaymen Make a Nice Little Haul. A dispatch from Canon City, Col., says: Seven men held up the east-bound train, No. 4, Tuesday night near Coto paxi. As soon as it stopped the engi neer and fireman were deliberately held up at the point of a rifle. Fireman Auer was relieved Of his fine gold watch, and then at the muzzle of seven rifles he was forced to pick the lock and break in the doors of the baggage car. Express messenger, Angel, made a determined resistance and the fight was a fierce ope, though it only lasted a few moments. Then one of the masked men placed the cold muzzle of the revolver against the messenger’s temple, and under pressure of a threat against his life, he opened the safe door. The highwaymen took $3 ,600 from the strong box. Horses were in readiness, and as soon robbery was accomp'ished they fled. THIS ONE IN TEXAS. Telegraphic advices from Samuel, Tex., a small station on the Southern Pacific railway, located in a thinly-set tled section, give a thrilling account of a daring robbery committed by six mask ed men at that place shortly after mid night Tuesday night. All the money and valuables iu the safe ir, the express car were seized by the robbers, as well as several sacks of mail and registered pack ages from the mail. The money obtained was over fifteen thousand dollars. The train was just pulling out from the sta tion when six masked men simultaneous ly mounted the engine, mail and express ears, two men for each of these positions. Over forty shots were fired, literally per forating the baggage and express car without injuring any one, when an un expected mode of procedure was adop ted, that of exploding a dynamite car trige against a small window in the ex press car. The express messenger avas stunned, but he recovered in a few mo meets, only to be overpowered by the robbers, and made to give up his safe key. The train was delayed several , hours, robbers took thir time iu doing the job, and with the utmost coolness and exhibition of great nerve. The gang escaped and ar* npw in Mexico. THE WIDE WORLD.

The father and mother showed the way by hanging themse+ve 3 , and the others who were adult children, imitated their parents COTTON PICKERS Ordered Out on a Gigantic Strike. A dispatch of Sunday from Houston, Texas, says: The biggest agricultural strike in the history of the world is im minent. If it takes place the matured cotton will rot in the fields. This is brought about by the colored farmers’ alliance of the United States. This or ganization lias been perfected through colored alliances, and numbers more than half a million with thousands being added every day throughout tho southern states. Colonel R. M. Humprey, general superintendent of the colored alli ance, admitted the existence of this or ganization, saying it had been induced by the organization some time ago of planters and merchants in certain sec tions, notably Memphis and Charleston, to reduce the price for picking to a very low standard, and (hat the cotton pickers had combined to protect them selves from this dictation, and he thought they would be able to do so. CIRCULARS SENT OUT. It is learned that a secret circular has been maile 1 at Houston to every sub-alli ance throughout the cotton belt, fixing the date when the strike of cotton pick ers will be simultaneously inaugurated, and how it shall be conducted. The headquarters of the Colored National Ahiance of the United States is located in Houston. Col. R. M. Humphrey, gen eral superintendent of the Colored Farm ers’ Alliance and Cotton Pickers’ League, has been actively at work in organizing the colored men for a general strike all over the south. The following is a copy of the circular which is being distiibuted by thousands all through thecotton states: Whereas, The planters and speculators above mentioned are firm in th ir de mand that you pick at starvation wages, as offered by them, and leave your fami lies to suffer fearful c nsequenccs, placing to your account the present low price of their cotton; and, Whereas, Above six hundred thousand pickers already have bound themselves together in sacred covenant to pick no cotton for any one, except their own, be fore about November Ist, at less than £1 per hundred pounds, with board; and Whereas, Your success depends upoD your united action. Now, therefore, I, R. 11. Humphrey, , by virtue of the authority in me vested, do issue this, my solemn proclamation, iixing the 12th day of September, 1891, 't being Saturday, as the day upon which ill our people shall cease from, and ab solutely stop picking cotton, except their wn, aud shill pick Ro more before ibout N -vember Ist, unless their just demand for wages shall be sooner ac ceded to by the plant;rs and others in terested. TENNESSEE’S LEGISLATURE Meets in Extra Session—lmpor portant Work to be Done. The Tennessee legislature assembled in extra session at Nashville, Monday, with nearly a full- attendance. Governor Buchannan’s message was sent in early, aud read to both houses. It is devoted, almost exclusively, to the penitentiary question, and reviews at length the re cent conflict between free and convict labor at Briceville. He discusses the four different systems of prison manage ment, and shows what would be done towards adopting either. A langthy report of the Briceville trouble is given. The power of the prison inspectors should be defined and increased, so that they may say how an I where convicts shall be worked. He calls attention to the fact that he has been criticised for calling out the militia, while the authority of his pre decessors was never questioned, although exercised upon much less important occasions. He reminds the legislature that if the lease system is wiped out arrangements must be made for the additional burden to the State. The maintenance of 1,500 convicts will cost £200,000 per annum; transportation, £50,000; and the amount paid by the lessees, £100,000; *a total of £700,000 for two years, and added to this £300,- 060 for anew prison, making a total of £1,000,000 that must be raised in two years. If these increased expenditures are made they must be provided for by increased taxation, which should be put upon all property alike. BILLS INTRODUCED. The legislature, after hearing the gov ernor’s message read, immediately went to work. Bills were introduced in the senate to removo the penitentiary from Nashville and erect new buildings; to provide that convicts sentenced to less ihan five years shall be cared for by counties; that parties, when convicted of a felony for the second time, shall be sentenced to life imprisonment. A res olution was introduced providing for a committee to confer with the lessees of the penitentiary aud see under what terms the convicts can be secured for the purj o-e of erecting anew prison. In the house a bill was introduced ap propriating £59,000 for the world’s fair; prohibiting corporations and firms from issuing scrip to employes. A resolution was offered citing that the lease system is considered injurious to the state; that having 1,200 convicts in the mines de prives that number of free men of work; that the wealth created by the develop ment of the state’s resources goes into the hands of a few New York million aires, and resolving that a committee be appointed to wait on the lessees and ask them to surrender their lease, and that if they refuse that they be asked to take the convicts from the mines and woik them inside the walls of the main prison. The Weather Bureau at Washington is preparing to disseminate weather signals in remote districts by means of signal flags on passing railroad trains and a system oi whistles from the locomotive*. TRADE REVIEW. Dun & Cos. Send Out an Encour aging' Report. The following is 11. G. Dun & Co.’a review of trade for the week ending Sept. 4th: Business improves in all sec tions. At the south, partly because of the injury of the cotton crop and the consequent advance in price. At the west some ; njury to corn by frosts late in the week is reported, the extent of which is not yet known, and if it is a serious loss, may affect trade to some extent, but at the latest accounts business was active and almost everywhere improving. The wheat crop is out of danger and and is enormous, undoubtedly the largest ever grown, and moving with unusuai rapidit y. The corn crop has been saved and is very large in mo.-t of the surplus producing states, and even within the range of the recent frosts appears to have been in port beyond injury. Cot ton has been damaged seriously iu some states—an Alabama corr espondent thinks 30 per cent, and New Orleans dispatches lepresent 15 to 25 per cent in Louisiana and Mississippi. Some allowance may be made for the usual disposition to exaggerate the effects of aoy mis fortune. but the loss of some parts of the entire crop would not reduce the year’s supply below the world’s require ments, while, by causing higher prices, it might beuefit producers and business in the cotton growing states. 'lhe fact is, that there is danger of serious over production ia cotton, in spite of the rapid increase in the world’s consumption. The monetary situation is also decidedly clearer and more favorable. J? xports from New York in five weeks exceeded last year’s nearly 31 per cent., and while imports also increased largely, the balance of trade turns decidedly in favor of the United States. The injury to cotton may also hasten the exports of the product, which foreign operators, knowing of the large stocks in Europe, might not have bought so early had the American been full. Finally, tho treas ury is now disbursing many millions for per cent, bonds not extended, and the announcement by the secretary that it is now able to pay £25,000,000 cash for these bonds, if desired, gives assurance to liberal supplies of money. REPORTS FROM THE CITIES. Reports from the various cities express increased confidence, and show tome actual gain in the volume of trade. At all southern points higher cotton stimu lates trade, and collections are somewhat better, and at New Orleans there is a fair .demand for sugar. At most south ern points money is also easier, and at New Orleans in ample supply for legiti mate needs. At the west no complaints of stringency are noted, though money is firmer at Chicago. The great industrhs are doing well, though strikes of importance are threat ened in the cotton mills at Fall River and window-glass works at the west. A distinct improvement is seen in the demand for iron and its products, though prices are unchanged, and also in coal, while minor metals are firm. THE DRY GOODS TRADE. Sales of wool at Boston reached 4,817,- 000 pounds, buyers for worsted and dress goods manufacturers being espe cially active. Trade in dry goods is fairly large, particularly in all wool cassi meres and dress goods. Cotton commis sion merchants report trade fairly up to last year’s, and some record a considera ble increase. Failures occurring throughout the country during the past week number for the United States 197; Canada, twenty. Total. 217. against 226 last week. SUNDAY CLOSING Favored by the Lady Managers of the Columbian Exposition. A Chicago dispatch says: At a meet ing Saturday of the board of lady mana gers of the world fair Mrs. Lucas, of Pennsylvania, again urged the adoption of her resolution, which was first presented at a meeting last Novem ber, declaring in favor of closing the world’s fair on Sundays. Arguments in favor of Sunday closing were made by Bishop Fowler and Miss Frances B. Wil lard. Stirring addresses on the opposite side of the question were made by Mrs. Ragley, of Michigan; Mr;. Dabella Ber cher Hooker, and Mrs. Trautman, of New York, who contended that the fair should be open on Sundays for the bene fit of the poor, who could net go at other times. The result of the vot*; was, yeas, 54; nays, 36. WITHHELD FROM THE PUBLIC Until it Can be Reported to the Governor. A Raleigh dispatch of Monday says: It has been finally decided by the rail way commissioners to make no report of their finding in regard to the late railway wreck at the Third creek bridge until the regular annual report to the govern or. The commissioners at fir3t gave out that their finding would be given the public. The present impression of the commissioners is that it is improper to make a report to the public before mak ing a report to the governor. A section of the commission act provides that the board shall act upon occasion as arbitra tors, and a Report now would be pre judging the ca e e. Third Party Ticket. A dispatch from Boston says: The people’s party held a convention Tuesday and nominated the following state ticket: Henry Winn, of Malden, governor; Wil liam J. Shields, Boston, lieutenant gov ernor; Joseph D. Catle, Westfield, secre tary of state; Thomas A. Watson, Bain tree, treasurer and receiver general; Wil liam O. Wakefield, Lynn, auditor; Israel Dtuidrews, Danvers, attorney general. NO. 20.
