FINANCIAL RECORDS SHOWING Tile GREATEST DECREASE IN VALID :> THE STATE HAS EVER KNOWN RETURNS FR M 54 COUNTIES ARE IN, This moriiiug’s Constitution pub lishes the following flat* mel-t which will be read with interest by the peo pie of this section. Captain Charley Furlow, of t e comptroller general’s office, in summing up the returns from the counties which have reported to date, said: “It is a conservative estimate to place the decrease which we may expect this year at between twen ty-five and thirty millions of dol lars. It will more probably be close to the latter figure. We have now received digests from fifty-two counties, and but four of tlie fifty-two fail to show a decided decrease as compared with last year. These counties represented all sections of the state and they are, with a few ex ceptions, small counties —that is, below the average in point of wealth. Experience of the past teaches us that in all probability the same average of decrease will be main tained tnroughout the entire list, the larger counties decreasing in the same proportion as the small er ones. Os the fifty-two counties receiv ed, forty-eight show a decrease amounting to $4,608,858. The net decrease for the fifty-two is $ 1,533, 690. The-fact that these counties represent all sections shows that the decrease is general and tlie fact that they are almost without an exception small counties shows the total decrease will be about as 1 have indicated —$30,000,000.” FIGURES SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.

IIIEWHK They Court a Naval war With China RATHER THAN A REBELLION OF the Subj lets ot Their Seagirt Ho mains. The Japs the most Civilized ualit uo f the Orient. Washington, D. C, July 31. A member of the cabiue r , referring to the reported declaration of war be tween Cnina and Japan said: ‘‘There are some facts relative to the strained lelations between China ami Japan which appear to be imperfectly un derstood in this country. The Japa nese government is moie progressive than the Japanese people are The Japanese government has sent young men to the United states, to England, and to Europe generally, and they have obtained education aud have made rapid advancement. Japan is the one country of the Ori ent which has assumed the manners ■;f our civilization. The purpose of the present govern incut is to lift Japan cut of the be li en track of the Oriental system an 1 to make that country the advance post >f civilization in the Orient. ‘ Tnis progress has been too rapid for the peop'e, The Japanese masses have not been lifted up to (he high plane of civilization the government occupies and io which its leaders seek to bring the people. Tue consequence is that there is grert unrest in Japan an I serious danger of a revolt, led by iguorwf nid vicious leaders, to overthrow the present dynf.s’y. That is one of tbe reas ns for the aggressive attitude cf Japaa toward China in tlie matter oi C >rea. The Japanese government has maintained its army in Corea un der circumstances which are well known, and adheres to the reso lute attitude as regards Japan undoubtedly for the ulterior po litical purpose at home of divert ing attention of the discontented masses of the Japanese from their revolt against the progress of the present government of Japan to foreign complications. “The Japanese government is not anxious to go to war with Chi na, but it is much more anxious to have a naval war with China than to suppress a rebellion of its own people. The Japanese government would not be supposed to be able to en ter into a contest with the Empire of China with the many millions of people the latter country con trols. But it is not to be forgotten that, while China could undoubt e ily defeat Japan upon the land, the Japanese government could with the same certainty defeat China on the sea. The Japanese have an excellent navy. They have modern warships com manded by officers who are thor oughly competent, and who have been educated in the best schools of Europe and the United States. Tht> ordinance and armament are of the most approved patterns. The Chinese navy is greatly inferi or, and the Japanese could un doubtedly overcome the Chinese in a battle on the sea. If such a result should follow, the prestige which the Japanese government would secure at home would (mablo it to overcome inter nal dissensions. If a war should ensue and the Japanese should be victorious, undoubtedly the result would be to reconcile the discon tented masses in Japan to the present dynasty there, and proba bly to prevent a revolt.” Every pair of lew cut shoes and oxford ties in my house at New York cost A.

I. Bishop were all here today. It was ti e day the populicts had been looking for to show their streng’h It is needless to add that they didn’t it. Os sUOmen,women and children including fifteen negroe,there were about 100 third partyites. They came from Ware, Pierce, Clinch. Coffee. Charlton, Wayne and Ap plmg counties. It was indeed a small greeting compared with the assertion <_f some z lalous third partyites that there would be 5.000 populists here today. As the democrats began so arrive tas morning, it was observed that among them were the usual number of candidates, but the p jpullsts were backward in coming. Judge Hines was in’r > laced to an au lienee that was, as has been previ ously stated, lira >st wholly do n iczat c .

Tho d.iarojrits wore talking q ileily, and the third partyites were disposed to keep silent. After Judge Hines, Colonel Watson made a speech. He was cheered wild ly by this p ipulists. Mr. W.itson abused the democrats. H s witty s ty ings and humorous anecdotes elicited much cheering, but his discussion of tbe issues of the day did tut appeal to the audience. It is safe to say that Judge Hines made no converts here today. A white farmer who cams to bear Hines and Watson speak to day was shot in both arms by a negro. Tbe wotii.ded man placed himself under Dr. Frank Folks for medical treatment. A ball lodg ed in one arm was removed by the doc'or. The negro was put in jail At Schla f terville, in Pierce coun ty, Colonel Ch irles C. Thomas, of this place, made a strong demo cratic speech today. The audience was largely composed of populists, and when the speech was c mclud ->d many promised to return to the democratic party. They admitted that they bad been misled by the popu'ist.
