SHOWS SOME STARTLING FACTS, William Calls tenuis Koporll to Hll Aid Id Refuting Charges of Lnwlewiue In th South. I hove just rocoivod tho third vol ume of "Compendium o the Census of 1890." Light years have passed Hince the pcoplo made their return aud the time is neanngwhen they will be called on again. It takes a long time and coBts millions of money, but it 13 a big thing and diffuses knowledge nruong the poople. It is better that the money be spent that way, for there ore no private schemes nor corporation swindles in it and it gives employment to thousands of needy people. The census is the only mode of getting at the true condition of the nation s at fairs aud a comparative view of the ' ' wealth, resources, education and mo ; rality of the poople of the different states. I have been very much interested in these comparisons and feel prouder than ever before of my state and sec tion. For more than half a century the partisan aud sectional literature of the north lias overshadowed and hu initiated us with unfair, untrue and slanderous statements. By these un- . christian methods of their press and pulpits their own good people have been poisoned against us and iinmi- . -nation influenced in northern chau nets, l'cr&onally, I do not 'complain of this, for I esteem it a blessing that neither northern fanatics nor foreign ' paupers have to r.ny 'alarming extent infested our fair lands.' The Natural . increase of our own people will soon enough occupy the south aud secure to ns t homogeneous citizenship that will continue to be the most moral and the most patriotic of any this side of the Atlantic Not long ago an Ohio man had the cheek to publish a letter about our lawlessness and snid it was amazing impudence for Georgia or the eouth to invite northern people to settle here. Well, we-don't invito him nor any of his kind. An unknown friends writps me from Nebraska and says: "Call off your cTogs. Let the yankees alone and blow your horn for Germans. 1 have lived for thirteen years right here where both abound and I will take the Germans or the Swedes or the Swiss every time. The yankees have hated yon for generations. They are born hating ynu and raised up in schools aud churches to hate you. They can't help it. But these foreigners have no such prejudices. They don't like your negroes, but have got nothing against you. They aro a fair-minded, indus trious people and I bnvo found thein hon t and kind and good neighbors whom you can depend on in time of trouble." But to the census. Look at these figures on crime aud criminals in some of the stutes north and south in 1890: Mawsa-ilmsetts, oonvioted criminals In prbon 5,277 fw ,Ybrk, convicted criminals in prison .11,483 Ohio, convicted criminal" In prison. . . 2,D0 Illinois, oouvietcderimlryils in prison. 8,936 Totnl 23,540 Now deduct the nrproos 1,7P5 Leaving whites 21,745 Now let us tntio (our southern stats: Georgia. whites ,.242 Foulh Carolina, whites .' 123 MiMiisnippi 119 Virginia , 82 Total Hf6 No1 the total white population of the four northern states is 15,477,000, and the total white population of the four southern Mates is 3,000,400, be ing about one-fifth. The negro has been eliminated in both statements, and as the popula tion of the four northern states is five times that of ours we will multiply our convicted white prisoners by five, which would give us 4,330 against 121,745. I raid in a recent letter that there were 50 per cent more of felo nies in New York or Massachusetts than in Georgia. I was mistaken. There are five times as many, which is 500 per cent, and thii is the ratio ac cording to white population. I tell you, my brethren, this census com pendium proves an alarming condition of things up north, and it is high lime our southern churches were or ganizing boards of missions and send ing missionaries up there. We send them to Mexico aud China and Brazil and to the Indiana in the west; why not to Massa chusetts and New York and Ohio, where crime and immorality prevail to a greater extent than in any civil ized country? That is just vhat Mr. Htetson said the statistician of Mas sachusetts. His language as published was: "There is po country upon earth where crime is so flagrant and so fre quent as in Massachusetts." Her pop ulation is about double oar white pop ulation, and yet she hat .fifteen times as many white criminals in her pris ons and whet is worse than all, my brethren, 748 of them are women. Just ponder ever it and, like the prophet, exclaim: "How are the mighty fallen!" Only one white wo man in the jails or chaingangs of Geor gia and 718 in the Puritan state of New England. What shall we do about it? What can we do? But ibis is not all that the census tells. In addition to this vast army Juvenilo prisoners, while NeA York has 8,676 and Ohio 1,530. Then thore ere over 8,000 paupers in the four states, besides the thousnnds that are in private benevolent institutions. How in the world do those states up north support such a vast army of criminals, paupers, tramps and non-producers? No wonder they want protection and pensions; no wonder they plunder the publio treasury. They are obliged to do it. Ninety per cent of all the money that goes iulo it comes out into their pockets in some way or other, and still they are not hnppy; they want the other ten. But what is the relative condition of the common people of the sections? How about homes and mortgages aud debts? It is the common people who constitute a state or a nation. They support it with their labor and defend it with their arms. In numbers they are as 500 to 1 of the aristocracy. They all deserve to have homes homes of their own, unencumbered. A home means more than shelter. It means roses and vines and shade trees and fruit. Ask the poor renter who is .bumped about from place to place every year. Ask hie wife aud daugh ters .what they think of home. The census puts down 99,890 white fami lies in Georgia who have homes, and says that 90 per cent of these nre paid for and have noencunibrance. Virginia has 97 per cent paid for; Mississippi and South Carolina 93 per cent each. Massachusetts has 175,000 families owning homes, but 37 per cent of them are mortgaged. New York has 490, 000 homes, and 41 per cent are mort gaged; and the compiler says that more than 90 per cent of all the home encumbrance of the United Stales is in the north Atluntio and north cen tral divisions only 4$ per cont is on the homes of the South Atlantic states. The mortgages on Massachusetts homes amouut to $!02, 918,196. Just think of it ponder it ruminate over it over one hundrod millions of debt agaiust the common people of one lit tie state having about double the white population of Georgia. Can they ever pay it.' New York is but little better, having $245,000,000. In fact, tho whole north is covered ns with a blan ket by debt, and the millionaires are the owners of it. Deut! hat a hard, unfeeling word it is. My old partner was wont to Fay it has a harder alliter ative following, viz: debt, duns, death, damnation and the devil. Is it any wonder .that such exponents as Debs and George and Coxey rise up and plead for the people the common peoplo the toilers who have no homes at all? ' Is it any wonder that striKes are made and the people carry blood in their eyes and desperation ia their hearts? l'ut yourself in their place, if you can, and then yon will feel as they feel. But, while we sympathize with them, and pity them, let us be grnte ful that we live in this southern laud. and are in the peaceful enjoyment of so many rich blossing3. May the good Lord preserve us from their crimes and their debts in my prayer. Bill Arp in Atlanta Constitution.

There was nsln great activity In wheat on Monday aud a new high record price was made for It, although It was not ;maintainod. The chief dealings were in September wheat, or wheat deliverable In September. On the New York Froduce Exchange Septembor wheat touched tl.06i". or IX cents a bushel above the high price ol Saturday, which up to that day was the top price. The olosiug price was tl.OSJi, or 1 cents below Saturday's closing price. The high price was U) cents above the high price one week before (August 10J. The drop In prices in tho late trading was due to sales to take accumulated profits, and to information that the reports from the West of damage to spring wheat were groatly exaggerated. These reports ema nated chiefly from the Chicago Board of Trade, ' and from the large holders of wheat in Minneap olis, who wero interested In rushing up the price for speculative purposes. At the same time it was generally thought that the large foreign demand would sooner or Inter legitimately take wheat to a much higher place. Cash wheat took a tump.

Washington, D. C. (Special). The Agri cultural Department Is informed through its agents abroad that the reports of a shortage in the wheat and rye crops of European countries are fully warranted by the facts. In eastern Europe particularly there is a deficiency of rye. In a special grain crop report Statistician Hyde, of the Department, said: "This fact, as well as the wheat defl cleucy, will tend to restrict the exporta tion of tb latter from thosa European countries which usually have a surplus of! that grain. As to non-European countries' otner tnan tno united states, tneir aggre gate contribution to the European supply will be materially affected by the fact that India, denuded by the fomlne, will have practically no wheat to export." Conservative commeroini estimates pat the total wheat crop in 1'ranoe as low as 100,000,000 hectoliters; making it about one-seventh less than the heavy crop of 1896. ... . ... An official report from Germany says that none of the leading cereals are rated as "good." Mall advices from Russia speak unfavor ably regarding the wheat and rye crops, the recent great heat having caused pre mature ripening. Prices of wheat at Iflenna are reported to be tho highest in ten years, and foreign wheat is being Imported. In Belgium the yield of wheat Is report, cd as satisfactory, but that of ryo defi cient. Advices from Copenhagen, Denmark, say that rye had suffered from, storms but wheat, was a fair average crop and barely good. The wheat crop of Roumaula Is described as "very disappointing," and parcels of new grain eeeived In London are irregu lar and of very poor quality. Crop prospects la India were Improved by rains in many districts, but in Bombay and Punjab much more rain was needed.

Simmons aud Ed Chambers Smith, the latter ex-chairmen of the State execu tive committee, aud all of then now members of the central committe. Jnrvis said, when asked what, in his opinion, would be the paramount issue, or issues iu the next campaign: "Whilo I am a friend to the negro, -and havo done all I can to help him, it is clear that the white Republicans cannot govern the State without negro sup port They are utterly incapable of giving pioper State, county or muni cipal government. , They are creatures of the negro, and you cannot expeot the creature to rise above the creator. All other questions fade into nothingness when compared to this overmastering question of white supremacy." Speak ing of Senator Butler, the ex-Governor said: "He has n rocky road to travel. When a man' deserts principle and goes for pie he is bound to strike rocks. " Simmons said: "The keynote of the coming campaign will be the record of the fusion administration, white su premacy and a straight fight." Smith said: "It looks now like our platform ought to be brief, a reaffirma tion of the national platform, and con demning the rascality and incompeten cy of the Republican-PopuliBt adminis tration. Unquestionably the great is sue will be the control of the State by the white-people. This means the stop ping of the outrages largely committed because the Republican party is iu power, I believe this is largely the case. Our party must make a clean-out fight. We have given the Populists every op portunity of showing some devotion to principle, and can now, especially after their utterances and their address by their State - committee let them stay where they say they wanted to bo in he 'middle of the road. ' " It is said that such Republicans as Lieut. -Goveruorr Reynolds and Attor-ney-Genoral Walser are for a straight thj'ht and no allianco with Populists. The superintendent of publio instruc tion notifies county supervisors that text books for publio schools were adopted by the commissioners of each county on the first Monday in June for three successive yeors and requests them to have lists and prices published so parents and children may know what are required and the prices to be paid. In some counties. he heard of boons beinz sold hizher than contract prices recorded at the registers of deeds office. It is tho duty of the supervisors to see that the children are not imposed upon. He suggests that the list and prices be printed on heavy pasteboard and placed iu every school house.
