Mr.. T. S. AYERS, Of Memphis,
announces himself candidate for
Representative from Shelby county
He favors the immediate calling OF
a convention by the Legislature to
amend the constitution SO as to re-
store to the white tax payers the
right to vote. The Memphis Ava
lanche learns that Mr.. Sam. IL
Jones, of Shelby county, will also
be candidate, and several others
are spoken of in connection with
the two places in the House to be
filed. 1t is hoped there will not be
a multiplicity of candidates to en-.
danger the success Of men who will
aid in restoring to the white citizens
of the State their rights.

REDFORD.

The Radicals in Bedford county
have been in sore trouble. Two
or three weeks age they tried tc
hold a convention to nominate $
candidate for Representative from
thAteounty, but they found that the
negro lB0wles had a majority o.
delegates in the convention and tc
prevent his nomination, the conven.
ton was adjourned until last Satur
day. Then for some reason The
convention was not held, buta secret
caucus did the work intended for the
convention, and Caleb Houston
was announced as the Radical
candidate James Martin, the
present, registrar, is also, q can !
didate, and he declares that he will
not submit to the dictation Of either
a convention or caucns. BoWles,
the negro, is still on theitrack, and
is said to be a more intelligent man
than either Of his competitors. he
is reported as favoring the immedil
ate reaenfranchisement of the white
taxpayers of the State, while hid
competitors occupy a Doubtful posi-
ton on that issue, If not decidedly
opposed to the measure There's
little doubt that Bedford will bt
represented bya better man than
has yet been announced for the POI
sition.

INCnEAsED YIELD OF wheat

The attention of farmers through
out the South seems to have been
turned more to the cultivation of
wheat the past season than ever be-
fore. We hear of better crops and
more of them this summer than
ever before. AT a wheat fair or
exhibition held at Athens, Ga, last
week wheat was shown which yield
ed from thirty~fVe and four sixtieth
10 forty six and five sixtieth bushels
to the acre The Georgia people
are turning their attention to
encouraging and promoting the
growth Of the cereals and
these exhibitions, at which one
farmer comes in competition with
another for premium on the best
wheat and the most prolific yield TO
the acre, is one Of the plans adopted
to encourage the raising OF good
crops. Tennessee is quite as we'll,
if not better adapted to the raising
of cereals than Georgia, and we
trust thst our millers and dealers
will get up some premiums to be
offered for the largest yield of
wheat to the acre, that the farmers
of East Tennessee may show what
their lands are capable of doing in
the way Of producing choice grain.
The agricultural association will,
no doubt, offer very liberal premi-
ums TO stimulate our farmers to.in-
crease the yield of wheat. The re-
suits of the experiments in Georgia,
reported in the subjoined letter 10
the New York Times, shows what
can be done by proper attention.
We hope our farmers will bear this
in mind in making preparation for
sowing wheat next fall. The cor
respondent of the Times writes as,
follows:
ATHENS, ia, June If, IS69.-Tbe con-
test Of the Athens Wheat Club for the
silver pitcher, value 1925, to be awarded
TO the contestant who shall have raised
the greatest number of bushels of wheat
on one acre, is virtually over. All the
most promising crops have been harvest
ed and measured, and beyond any doubt
Dr. James :. Hamlton's acre which pro-
duced fraction over 40 bushels will be
declared the winner The next largest
crop is that of Mr. Edward Bancroft, 50
l-l5 bushels and then comes the crop
of David &. Barrow, Vice President of
the State Agricultural Society, which is
81 / bushels DIR. Hamiltons and Mr..
Bancrofts acres were drilled, Col John
BarrOw's broadcast With this differ
ence the mode of culture was about the
same. The character of the soil was
equally poor, and the quantity and de- |
scription of the fertilizers did not vary |
much on the three acres DR.. Hamiltons
success demonstrates that drill is better
than broadcast sowing, and as he sowed in |
drills fully Is inches apart while those
of Mr.. Bancroft were little more than
ten inches wide, it also demonstrates
that wide drills, within reasonable limits,
are more productive than narrow drills.

UNPRECEDENrED IMMIGRATION

A letter from one of the Liver
pool steamship agencies in New
York, received in Charleston on the
18th inst. says an average of five
thousand emigrants may be expect
Cd at the port of New York for the
next five or six weeks to come. The
pressure for passage, the writer
says, is tremendous nothing was
ever seen like it before. What is to
DO done with the crowd when they
come, unless they push on west, is
4 problem. Even now the
streets in the lower part
Of the city are throngod
with the advance guard, not only
from Liverpool, but from Hamburg,
Bremen, Amsterdam and Swedish
and Norwegian ports. A Liverpool
dispatch Ofthe 18th inst. ANNOUNCED
that "there seems to be no diminu-
ton in the tide of emigration to
America" The New York Express
Of the same date contains the fol-
lowing paragraph:
"Since our last, the steamer Minnesota
has arrived at this port, from Liverpool,
with twelve hundred and thirty eight
messengers; the City of London, from
Liverpool, with eleven hundred and
eighty-one; and the Caledonia, from
Glasgow, with five hundred and ninety
signaling total of three thousand

The GAINESVILLE Patriot (Radican

that the negro "has no constitutions.

State and that "his right in thai
respect rests wholly in an act of til,
Legislature" On Tuesday III,
State Journal, the new Stokes or
gan, took issue with the Patriot
and in language less elegant than
fOreible declared that "this is :
falsehood," with which il coupled
this warning: Remember, colored
men, the Senter organ at Clarks.

this, imagine the surprise with
which the readers of the Stokes
organ beheld this admission in that
paper yesterday:
And who, lawyer or Judge, will un-
dertake to say that if the next LegisIa.
ture should repeal by its own act the
former enactments on the elective fran
ehise, especially since the decision pro,
nounced by the Supreme Court al
Brownsville, it would not immediately
eniranchise every citizen of the State2 .
Here is plain admission that the
franchise law is nothing but le-
gislative enactment, and subject to
repeal by the Legislature. On
Tuesday the State Journal takes is
sue with the Patriot, and on Wed
nesday comedies precisely what the
latter charged. The organ grinder
is evidently not at his post, OF his
instrument is badly out of order.
