VOL. IV. WALTER 8. SELL, Eiiler. !, BILL ARP'S LETTER. THE MAJOR REMARK ON THE "HOTNKSS" OF THK WEATHER. Retrospection, Politically and Other ' wise, of Old Times. Confidence is a plant of alow growth In an age?i bosom. The repnblioana are makin Virion ado abont aomethiog that Mr. J Jin said abont the snpreme court, and even some of the Georgia lxrr critiobed him severely and de fo' Jtd the eonrt aa the best bulwark ri our liberties, and apoke of it aa the fcigh tribunal that atood like a wall to iprotect people against the assaults of passion aid prejudice. All that ia very pretty to a young man, but old men have more memory and lees confi dence. Tlier was a time, a good long time, when the court had the respect and tho reverence of the nation, es pecially of the south, when Jobn Mar shal) and Roger B. Taney, two south eraecu, were the chief justicee for a ietiod of nearly sixty years, bnt soon rter Taney died partisan politica and mectional prejudice orept into tha court and it ia there yet. It haa been only twenty years since members of that court ruled Mr, Tilden out of the presidency and seated Hayes, aa clear - feai act of lvgal fraud as was ever per )etratcd by the most unscrupulous politicians. Law is said to be the perfection of human reason. Then how ia it that in such great qnestions republican judges deoide one way and (he democrats the other? It ia right rielancholy to recall that atupendons farce seven democrats and eight re publicans all under oath to do justice in this great question, and yet they drew the party lines to a man. That Tilden was ejected all parties now ad mit and history has so recorded. He was cheated out of the high office by I tree members of that supreme court. Thia ia the same court that decided the income tax unconstitutional. . Why I vuauldu't truut such a court with any pse that involved great corporations r sectional questions. Ever since Joe Bradley was a young inau, and np to 1870 he was president or director of two railroads and several great in Miraoce companies. He couldent tote tair with them on one side and the people on the other to savo hia life. 'No, I am like Mr. Bryan. I've lost ooafldence in the integrity of that coort. I will not say that its members . ca be bought with money, but their wills are molded by uuduo influence nnd onght to be broken. That income tax was a fair and just measure and would have put into the treasury near forty millious of dollars aud no "doubt eaved the government from the dis grace of that bond business. But I didn't start to write on poli ties. The weather ia too hot to thick about anything that excites indigna tion. We old chapa here in Carters ville have been going to school every night for a week, preparing for tho deestrict skule chow that waa to come off. The ladies got it up and then levied on as and pnt the oldest men and women in an infant class, and we bad to toe a chalk mark and learn onr a b c on a blackboard, and be tangbt to sing "I want to be an angel" and we had to speak a speech like we used to speak it away back in tho SO's aud 40's, Some of us bad to walk up and be licked for our mischief, and we had a recede and played many, many stars with the girls and I got kissed several times and no forth. The nita were hot, but we bad fun, lots of fin--old fashioned, innocent fun. Old peoplonro never so happy aa when recalling the memories of the old school days. Thf.t ia about as far back aa we can go, and it ia a big landmark in life'a history. Shakespeare telle of the whining aoboolboy creeping unwillingly into school. That was a trne picture some times, but as a general thing, we were glad to g3. Cbarlea Lamb writes of hia joyful school daya. It waa a most delightful mixture. With a mother to help ns get our leasona and a father to encourage and a teacher to praise ua when we did well, the daily task was not hard, and then the surroundings, the frolics, the reoeas, the din ner bucket, the good time going home in tbe evening, the pretty branchea we bad to crone, the red Ral lies where we got chalk, the walnnt treea over in tbe field and the chestnut treea on the hill and then there were persimmona and blackhawa and may pops cot far away. We had townball at noon, glorious old townball that haa been debased and degraded into base ball. We need to give good balls to the baiter and wanted him to hit it and knock it a mile if he conld. Then there was our old-fashioned shinny that waa akin to the modern golf. It waa a hard game and kept na with bruised ahina and bloody toes, and gradually fell in to a state of iuocuona desuetude. And there were some pretty girls to look on and admire, and we had onr sweetheart and loved to stand by them at the -Friday evening spelling, and aometimea ventured to bold their handa on the aly, and would purposely misspell the word to let them .get above. This waa chivalry, pare and simple. Then came Saturday, a long, long, happy day, when we gathered chinquapins and cheatnnt or went to the mill and went in washing while waiting for the grist. Sometimes w a didn't wait for tbe grist, but ran pony races home and went back in tbe after noon for another frolic It ia still memory's delight to recall those delightful days, and ii ia no won der that the poeta have written abont them ; and one of them aajs: "How dear to my heart ara tba bacms ef Bay childhood." The next era that etanda ont moat prominent is that of the lover, Shake speare knew all abont that, too, and drew the pioture, no doubt, from hia own ex perience, when he waa dying for pretty Ann Hathaway. Every man and Wo man could write a story of love's young dream if tbey wottld, and some of tbem would be sad, very sad. I wish that every lad and lassie bad a lover not I transient one, who, like the butterfly, sips the honey - from one flower and then seeks another but a true, fond lover who oboosea a willing mate and ttioks. Tbe true, oonflding love of a young couple who ara mated, aa well aa married, ia tbe most beautiful thing in life. Bill Af, in Atlanta Consti tution. M WKATKER-CROP BULLETIN Of tbe North CaroMna Ollmate and Crop Service. ' Below ia Section Direotor H. B. Battle's weekly olimate and crop ser vice report for the past week, as re ported by one or more correspondents: Eastebs District. The past week has been extremely hot and dry; bene ficial showers ooourred at a few points. In the north portion of the district orops are generally reported aa im proved; elsewhere all crops are suffer ing for want of rain. Cotton may still be considered fine; it ia now open ing and picking ia not far off. There were more reports of shedding bolls and leaves than last week, caused by heat and drought; the crop ia now maturing very rapidly. Old corn was ripe be fore the drought set in, but late corn is needing rain badly and has fired considerably. Fodder ia now being pulled and stacked. Tobaoco is being cured rapidly; much of it becoming parched. Farmers are planting turnip seed now. Peanuts, sweet potatoes, peas and rice promise abundant yields. . Central District Extreme heat and great dryness prevailed this week, with decidedly unfavorable influence on all orops. Good rains ooourred in portions of Alamance, Randolph, Rich mond and Rockingham on Thursday, ' and a damaging local wiud-btorm in Chatham and Orange; elsewhere rain is badly required. A great decline in the condition of cotton is taking plaoe; some rust and muoh shedding of bolls and leaves reported; plants look wilted; opening fast in south. Corn crop good; much fodder pulled. Late oorn needs rain badly, and is firing. Tobacco alao firing, and curing is forced in some sections nearly a month earlier than nsual. Sowing turnip seed interrupted. Some cabbage bursting open. Sweet potatoes ana peas not injured. estbkh District. The effect of the hot, dry weather haa not been so injurious to crops in this district, and in the west haa been quite favorable, but a good season is needed. Cotton on sandy land haa been injured, but generally it is doing well and blooming freely; much less shedding ia reported than from other districts. Early and late oorn needa rain; there ia some fir ing; fodder-pulling will begin next week. Curing tobaoco haa only begun in a few seotions yet; the drought pre vents spreading, and some damage by flea-bugs ia still reported. Sweet po tatoes and peaa doing well. Turnip aeed being planted and land prepared for wheat In extreme west saving oats and hay still progressing. nESBITT GIVES ADVICE. Tells Farmers of the South How to Foil Plana of the Cotton Tie Trust. Southern farmers may Inaugurate an effec tive fight on the ootton tie trust Tha farm era are In arms as a result of the lnorease In the price of cotton ties, which amounts to 100 per cent In the aggregate, this added price will take thousands of dollars out of the pockets of the ootton raisers. The farmers are looking tor effeotlve measures to prevent being squeezed by tha trust that has been formed. The following address, issued by Commissioner of Agriculture R. T. Nesbitt, suggests a remedy. Te Farmers of Georgia and of tho South : A few yean ago we were confronted by a ggantlc monopoly, the bogging trust, which eadaavored to force from farmers thousands of dollars, which In their depressed nondltloa they ooulJ ill milord to lose. By united effort anions; farmers this evil was averted and tbe huge octopus which had fastened Itself on the agricultural Industry was dwtroyed. To day wa are confronted by a similar trouble. Tbe manufacturers of eotton ties hare form ad another grand combination and without any reason, except to gratify an unlawful (reed, hare entered Into an agreement to ad vance the price of their goods 100 per cent If the price of Iron hsd advanced there might be some reason for this action, but Iron was never cheaper, and the same must be said of coal and labor. The fact Is simply that an effort Is being made to force the farmers of the South to contribute millions of dollars to swell the roflU of a powerful combination of manu icturera. f be farmers are In good condition Just now to fight this trust. They havo their provis ions, there are few debts to be met until later; therefore, no pressing necessity to force their ootton on tha market. I would advise that tbey hold meetings in every section of the South and denounoe this effort to drfraud them of their earnings At the same time, let them advise togotber as to the best meth od of meeting tbls new enemy. In tbe mean time, tbe department which I represent will make every effort to lovnatlgate such substi tutes for eotton ties as will meet the requir aaeatstf durability rnd safety. Money for Cuba. The Cuban junta in the United States has raised a fund amounting to f373.00a Part of the money bas been changed Into gold and Is bow on shipboard bound for Cuba, where It will be placed In tbe hands of pffl eers commanding the Insurgent army.

TALMAGE ON SILYER 'IB SEES RENEWED PKOSPKRITY IN ITS VICTORY. He Gives Bla Views Freely, But is Not Partisan. Says tbe South Is Al most to a Man In Favor of the While MetaL 'If the silver people win, i believe there will be such a revival in business, such I booming in Industries, which are now lnao 1 tive, and such a general shaking up of oom J tnorolnl Interests that the oountry will be sure to prosper." These words were spoken by the Bev. Dr. T. DeWittTalmage, at Easthampton, L. t, after a long tour of tbe Southern States. The reverend gentleman is a keen observer ind ej see which way the wind blows as luiukly and with as much certainty as tbe ihrewdest of politicians. He does not only preach to tbe people, but be mingles with Tbem, feeling tbe popular pulse and search ing tbe hearts of bis countrymen. Dr. Talmage arrived at Easthampton On Friday last from Chautauqua, where he had attended an educational convention. Not only in the big cities did tbe Doctor mingle with the residents, but In remote and sparse ly populated districts and in minor townships and villages. "During my entire trip," he said, "I did not find more than one or two men whowere not sllverltee. The unanimity waa astound ing. Tbe sentiment down South Is univer sally for the white metal. Bryan and Bewail will get a very large vote from that section of the oountry." Dr. Talmage is too little or too muoh of a politician to come out Hat-footed for free sil ver, but his utterances are perhaps suffi ciently significant to show the tendencies of bis personal feelings. "My associations and training and my political affiliations of the past plaoe me on the side of a single standard," he cautiously aald and then as a twinkle came Into his eye be added: "But I certainly believe that in stead of dluaeter and ruin following in the wake of the silver movement, the opposite will be the result. "I am not advocating that side of the polit ical question," snid the diplomatic divine, "but I do not believe, with a good many of my Christian friends, that In the success of chat movement the country will greatly sut Jer. "This Is a strong nation," ho added. "We ire engaged In a great political oampatgn, ind it wlii ill benefit me to be a strong par jtsan on either side. There are honest, Chris tian, patriotic men on both sides, and the life of tha country and welfare of its interests Will be a great incentive to lead men in the right direction. I have great faith in the people of this oountry, and it is a fact that the people of a vast Southern and Western tract are vehemently in farvor of silver." STARVATION FEARED. Thousands of Miners Idle and Their Families Are Destitute. A desperate state of affairs exists on the Oogebio Range, In Northern Michigan. Where 8,000 iron miners were onoe employed at an average of 1.75 a day, now only 1,000 have employment at $1 a day, and the unem ployed find themselves on the verge of star vation. AH tha mines except two have shut down, and some of tbem have withdrawn their pumps. Merchants have refused credit to the un employed, and before winter thousands will Jack food to keep from starving. Few of tbe residents along the Qogeblo llange - have recovered from the panlo of lH'.u, and most of them are still in debt i'hoae who are still employed have their salaries drawn by the merchants with whom they deal, who. after deducting a share of tbe debt, turn the balance over. Under this sys tem the people are almost penniless most of the time. To the idle ones the merchants bave refused credit, because tbey see no prospect of their securing employment Many of the mining companies have al lowed the idle to plant potatoes on the spare lands, but tbe army worm now swarms in that part of tbe State and is destroying tba crops. No relief can be expected from Oogebio (Xmnty, because the treasury Is depleted. All tbe taxpayers have organised and have re fused to pay taxes, and consequently the Poor Commissioners are without funds. Unless outside assistance comes there will be starv ing families on the range. Civil Servioe Regulations. Heretofore persons carried on the pay rolls of tbe treasury as laborers have done iutyaa dorks and some carried as clerks have done duty In capacities not Included ia '.he classified aervlyei To correct these lr 'egularitins. Secretary Carlisle bas Instruoi d the officials of the treasury not to permit employees uhder their control and direction, who under tbe law are not in the classified service to perform the duties of officers or places which are not in the classified Bervice. a. violation of these instructlonx.he adds, will result In tba abolishment of offices not in tbe classified service Fertilizer Works Destroyed. At Philadelphia, Pa., Tuesday, the mala building of the extensive phosphate and fer tilizer works of the Baugh A Sons Company was destroyed by Are. A large quantity of costly grinding machinery and considerable stock in the various proceases of manufacture jonfloed tbe flames to one building. Superin tendent Wells estimated the company's loss 200,000, a-hich is partly covered by in surance. A hug vat of grease boiling over into a fire started the flumes. England Takes Water. Newspapers at Lisbon declare that Oreal Britain has recognized Brazil as the owner of the Iale of Trinidad, off tbe coast of Brsrtl, Which Great Britain recently took possession if as a landing station for a telegraph cable. The seizure of the Island eilled forth ener getic protests from business men, which, ao aording to some papers there, have resulted In England withdrawing her pretensions to sovereignty of the Island.
