Crops and Side Crops.
Ttie farmers of HAklwin county
grow, it may he said, only one crop
for export, und that crop is cotton.
Of the raw material hut an insignifi
cant quantity is retained at home. It
is sold and shipped to distant points
and a considerable portion of it is
returned (and sold to the farmers,
who produced,) in tho form of manu
factured goods. They raise say ten
thousand hales as an average crop.
It may he a little more than tills. It
may he less, hut it may he taken as a
fair estimate. An average year it re
quires about thirty-five thousand acres
to produce this number of hales. At
forty dollars per hale this would give
the value of our export or money
crop to he about four hundred thous
and dollars. The corn crop of the
county occupies about 1 the same area
that is devoted to cotton; say thirty
thousand acres. A fair average crop
therefore may he set down at three
hundred thousand bushels. Such a
year as tho last would not allow of
such a product. At (10 cents a bushel
the average corn crop of Baldwin is
worth about one hundred and eighty
thousand dollars. Total for the two
principal crops.five hundred and eigh
ty thousand dollars. Putting the to
tal population of the county at sev
enteen thousand (which approximates
the truth.) there is produced about 18
bushels of corn per capita. Hy the
time the stock get their share, the rat
and weevil theirs It can he readily
calculated that there is no corn to he
sent out of the county, hut that the
West must he called on to supply ft
very considerable deficiency.
These two crops as a rule occupy
two-thirds (i[) of the tilled soil on the
farm, the remaining third being de
voted to oats, peas und potatoes,
all of which not consumed on the
farm itself are sold and consumed
within the county, and hy the great
majority of farmers are regarded sim
ply as “sideV crops. Nix or seven
years ago it seemed as if oats would
assume on the Southern farm a posi
tion of importance secondary only to
cotton and at any rate sharing fairly
the acreage hitherto devoted to corn,
hut several consecutive failures thro’
destructive cold in January or drouth
in spring has had the effect of dam
aging the ardor of very many farm
ers who had begun to appreciate the
value of the crop from success then
attained. For several years past the
seasons have certainly been against
this crop. In several instances fall
drouth has prevented sowing at the
proper time causing it to he deferred
so late as to prevent the plants get
ting a sufficient hold on the soil to
withstand freezing. Several Janua-
rys have been abnormally severe and
spring drouth on several occasions
lias been destructive. It is only nat-

Washington Letter.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Jan. 80, 1888.
Editoiis Union-Rkcoiidicr:
The Democrats of the Ways anil
Means Committee are giving them
selves earnestly to the arduous task
of framing a new tariff hill wliiob they
hope will prove acceptable to their
associates in the House and to tho
party generally. Those Republicans
who constitute the majority of the
committee, will not he consulted in
regard to the measure until the work
is complete anil ready for final action.
Tiie majority are well satisfied with
the progress tliev have made, and
feel sanguine of the ultimate success
of their labors, though that most de
sirable result cannot be reached with
out liberal concessions to conflicting
opinions. It is proposed to have a
general revision and re-adjustment ot
the tariff, and tho salient feutures of
the hill will he similar to that pre
sented on a former occasion hy Mr.
Hewitt. Tho new hill will make a
reduction of 20 per cent, ou sugar and
also large reductions in tho taxes on
fruit, brandies and tahoaco, and will
place salt, wool, lumber, and other
raw materials on the free list. The
hill is practically agreed upon now,
and it is probable that it will he
brought to the consideration of the
House within the next three weeks.
Then will begin the groat battle for
tariff reform, which will he the key
note of the Democratic Presidential
campaign.
Mr. Randall threw himself in the
breach the other day, and hy resort
ing to dilatory tactics, prevented tho
appointment of a day for the intro
duction of hills for the erection of
Government buildings. This was a
patriotic service On the part of the
distinguished Pennsylvania states
man, as there appears to he a general
sentiment throughout the country to
secure such appropriations. If these
raids upon the treasury were not
checked, there would soon he no sur
plus to puzzle the mighty intellects
of our national legislators.
Responsive to the popular demand
there appears to be a pretty general
sentiment in the House in favor of
authorizing the issue of about twenty
million dollars in fractional currency.
There seems to be a shortage of small
hills, as the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing is pushing work on the $2
and $5 silver certificates, as the pres
ent demand is greatly iu excess of the
supply, hut it is believed that iu a
few ilayp (.lie stock will he sufficiently
large.
The Civil Service Commissioners
have been cited to appear before a
House committee and to express their
views on several bills that are now
under consideration. Some changes
are likely, for it is an open secret that
the committee on civil service, more
particularly the chairman, are oppos
ed to the present law.
One Republican member, Represen
tative White, of Indiana, is to ho un
seated upon the motion of his com
petitor, Ex-Congressman Lowry, Al
though it is beyond question that
White received a clear majority of the
votes cast, he will he expelled, Oe-
I cause it is shown that he has not
been legally naturalized, being a na
tive of Scotland, Mr. Lowry does
| not secure the seat, as it is the deci
sion of tlie committee on elections
that there was no election, hence a
vacancy will he declared to exist.
The next contest to he acted upon
is that of Worthington, Democrat,
against Post, Republican, of Illinois.
The election was very close—only
twenty-nine majority being claimed
and it, is probable that another Re
publican will he unseated, as the
Democrat claims that he has a right
ful fnajority of ten votes.
The Senate Committee ou pensions
have unanimously approved Senator
Manderson’s “Grand Army” hill
which lias been so framed as to over
come the objections urged hy Presi
dent Cleveland in his disapproval of
the dependent pension hill.
The hill granting Mrs. Logan a
$2,000 pension, excited quite a discus
sion among t lie Senators, hut it pass
ed by a large majority, as did another
hill increasing to the same amount
the pension of Mrs. Frank P. Blair.

A FRIEND IN NEED.
Some time ago I gave one dollar to
a poor friend of mine, who was down
in bed, not expected to live. Con
sumption, that dread disease, lmd
gained a hold ou him, which would
relax only when death claimed him.
1 hade him good-bye, hardly 1 expect
ing to see him alive again, hut to my
surprise, the next time I saw him, he
was much hettiv, and he told me that
he had invested the dollar I gave him
in a bottle of Brewer's Lung Restor
er, and it had improved him so much,
that lie thought if lie could only take
it for a few weeks it would cure him.
I bought him several bottles, which
he is now on, and it has improved
him so much that he is able to walk a
mile or two, something which he has
not done before in a year, and I am
confident Brewer’s Lung Restorer will
cure him entirely.
J. WESLEY WILLIAMS.
An English Diplomat's Opinion of
American Girls.
Washington Critic.
One of tiie good-looking y’ounger
English diplomats of the Fishery Con
ference, which is apparently uuad-
journable, was lately holding forth
most enthusiastically ou the contin
ued and courteous hospitality ex
tended to him and his associates hy
the people of Washington.
“I have been charmingly struck,”
he said, “with the facial and physical
loveliness of the women. With a fair
experience of noteworthy assemblages
abroad, I had to tax iny memory to
recall a gathering that would compare
in personnel with the great parlor of
the President’s home at tlio diplomats
ic reception.”
“How did the women impress you
in comparison with those of Eng
land?” I asked.
“I will reply frankly if you will let
me,” he said. “The American girls
seem to mo much more pretty—much
handsomer than their English cou
sins—hut my sense of the harmonious
was a little jarred when they; spoke.
English women’s intonation is musi
cal, low, sympathetic, while that of
the typical daughter of America is
high, somewhat harsh, and not very
grateful.' The American girl is hand
some in repose, hut the advantage is
in favor of the English woman the
moment a conversation is started.
Have 1 been too candid?”
