THE LOGIC OF FIGURES.
Railroads With the Monopoly
Left Off.
How Giles County can Make
Money by Building Them.

Mr.. EDIroR IL propose, through
your valuable journal, to submit state
ment Of facts for the consideration of
the people Of Giles county with refer
ence to the proposed railroad enter
prises now being canvassed Dy some OF
our citizens. This system or series OF
railroads contemplate a construction of
tho Ohio and Cumberland Railroad
from the northeast corner of the coun-
tv to the southwest corner, thence to
Florence. Ala, thence seeking southern
connections to Texas and the Gult; al
so, the st. Louis, Cairo and Huntsville
Railroad passing through our county
from its northwest corner 20 its south
east corner, and the Memphis and
Knoxville Air Line passing through
the centre of the county from west 10
east-thus you see reaching ana deYel-
opiu0 every part Of the county, in con-
nection with the present road midway
through the county from north TO
south. IL would be waste Of time for
me 10 dwell upon the many advantages
and blessings that would result from
the completion Of these enterprises.
Even the Increased facilities OF trans
portation would be secondary to the de-
velopment of local material interests.
TO accomplish this great object 1t is
proposed that the county vote tax OF
$5O0,OOO, to be anticipated Dy tue ISSUING
of bonds Of one thousand dollar denom-
inations. or for less sum, payable in
one 20 sixteen years, ut the option or
the county; and that tax of $4,000 be
collected annually to meet the interest,
and any excess over and above the an
nual interest be a sinking fund 10 be
appr0priated to the discharge OF the
principal Of the bonds, the bonds TO
pass to the railroads in proportion to
the number Of miles they triverse the
county, and in that proportion to be
stock in right of the county to the re-
spectIve railroads. Now, If these bonds
are taken mp by the county at par val
ne It will be seen by the following tabu-
lar statement that the annual tax OF
500, 900 viii discharge the principal and
Interest of the bonds in fifteen years,
except the sum OF $34,472, which will
he a tax on the sixteenth year:

Balance 10 be paid hy the loth
years tax &c.. .......... SIS, 472
Now, this Is a tax Of about five mills
upon the dollar, upon the value of the
taxable property OF the county, or
five dollars on the thousand, and the
rate will decrease, Of course, In proper
ton to the income tax value of the
property of the county each year.
This statement Is based upon the as
sumption that the roads pay no divi-
dends; but shonld they not pay divi-
dends until the 10Th year, and only
then ten per cent, the bonds and inter
est would be discharged upon the six
tcenth year by the dividends, without
the collection of $4,000 tax after the
tenth year.
Thus YOU see incalcUlablc benefits to
the county would result from the pay
ment Of five mills upon the dollar for
few years.
A single railroad running through
country grows TO De a monopoly. a
competing road will destroy this mo-
nopoly and viii open more facilities TO
trade and reduce heights. / am as
sured by railroad men that the compile
ton OF These competing narrow guage
lines would reduce transportation one

4 t
STATES.
i. WASHINGTON, July Is.
Z The reports Of tho condition of the cotton crop
to the department of agriculture, for July lst
are summarized as follows: Owing to causes
reported in June, the crop is generally from
two to four weeks later throughout the cotton
States. Tile weather was unprecedentedly wet
for period varying from twenty-five. to thirty
days, ending. about the 25th Of June. The
area of cotton planted was sufficient to tax the
available labor to the utmost under the most ia
vorable circumstances, consequently the exces-
sively wet weather preventing work and slim
ulating grass and weeds, has not, only caused
poor stands, and a grassy and otherwise unfa-
vorable condition quite generally, but has ne
cessitated the abandonment of large portions of
the area planted, probably nearly enough to
bring the acreage down to what it was last year.
The reports, with rare exceptions, are dcapon
dent in tone, and picture . somewhat gloomy
prospect Doubtless Remhioritys fall in with
the common tendency to .ezaggerate the bad ef-
fects upon the crops ofunfavorable weather pre-.
vailing in the present, and to underrate the fu-
ture chances of recuperation from these effects.
The reports show generally that the. favorable
weather in the last days Of June was having
the effect to change the condition somewhat
rapidly for the better. Cotton worms caterpill-
ars and lice had made. their appearance in
small numbers at several points, but as yet had
not occasioned much apprehension of serious
damage. Theaverage condition for heaSerage
made up from all the counties reported. was
ninetyfye. In detail the condition reported by
figures gives the following results: Virginia,
ten counties reporting an'avcragc 'condition'ofi
10s, two being placed at 100, six above and
two below. North Carolina, fortythree coun-
ties average 81, fourteen at 100, seven above
and TWENTY-FIVE below. South Carolina, sixteen
counties average SO; Laurens County 100; all
others below. Florida, ten counties average
90, three at 100; hreeabove, four below. Ala.
bama, thirty-six counties average 25, six at
100; three above twenty.ssven below. Miksis-
sippi, thirty counties average 83, eight at 100
two above, twenty below. Louisiana, nineteen
counties average so, one at 100 three above,
fifteen below. Texas, fifty counties, average IS,
two at 100; eight above, forty below. Arkan-,
sas, twenty-nine counties, average LOG, nine at

n@- We publish today the Report Of
the Department of Agriculture in the
state of the cotton crop. The usual an
nual discussion is now going on between
producers and consumers; the latter
always proving to their own satisfaction,
by figures, that the crops must be large,
placing the number, of bales, this year,
between four and half and five mil
lion. The former, from self interest
(Which actuatcs both partics) prove
in the 'same manner, that this years crop
must fall behind that Of last year, and
ridicule the idea that it will be repeti-
tion Of the enormous crops of 1870-'71.
They place it ut three and half mil
lions for this year. The estimate of the
Department of Agriculture, which repre-
sents both parties, and must have better
facilities than either fer ascertaihing the
truth, has therefore great weight.
We look forward to the time when the
best estimate of the crops will be OBJ.
tanned from the Patrons of Husbandry.

The Fashions.

White sealskin is new fur
which will be much worn.
Fine leather will be used as
dress-trimming this winter.
Marine blue is one of the fash
ionable colors for the winter.
Ladies' hats this season consist
chiefly of two brows of ribbon and a
stiff ostrich feather.
-Redingotes are as popular and
fashionable as ever, and will be worn
throughout the winter.
The Eizabethan rnffs are as i,
suming proportions more ponderous
and awe-inspiring than ever.
1t is fashionable now to have all
the maid-servants in a household
wear caps. after the English style.
Ladies just returned from Eu-
rope wear the hair very plain and
low on the neck, style call the
rage" in Paris.
Seal skin will be fashionable next
winter as ever. The seal-skin muffs
are almost square in shape, and lined
with blue satin.
-Fringes are to be very fashion,
able as trim mings this winter. Some
of the handsomer sorts are as ex-
pensive as fine laces.
English walking-jackets have
been introduced for the winter.
They are of heavy, dark cloth, ard
very stylish as we'll as comfortable.
According to the BQzar, the
most distinguished looking bonnets
are all black, mingled silk and vel.
vet with black plumes, steel dagger,
or else jet ornament and dark
groseille roses.
-Woolen fabrics, associated with
velvest of corresponding shade, are
TO be preferred this season to cos
tunes made entirely of silk, compar.
atively few of the latter being visible
among the full importations.

The --LATEST FEMININE TWIST
A correspondent writes that the
latest "kink in carriage" is as fol-
lows:
"The arms are carried a la taiIors,
elbows we'll out behind, and circu-
lar motion of the hips is cultivated.
But the head is the principal thing.
The head must be worn loosely, pois-
ed as far back as possible. The new
fall hat is heavily trimmed, and
perched as much in the rear as the
tenacity of hairpins and scalp wilad-
NIT. The weight produces the head
effect in some cases, but there are
stiff-necked women who will require
to be shotted behind to be in the
fashion. Take girl of the period at
present Her nose is beneath the
level of her chin, and her forehead a
stratum lower. The ruff, which OF
necessity encircles her neck, sets out
like futed salad bowl all around
her, and no top>knot ever was para.
ded in such position since the heap
of John the Babtist was served on
the charger.

TIE Fate Of Franklin.

The Buddington party saved much
valuable man uscript from the wreck
OF the Polaris, but Mr.. Smith, of Tes.
sbisak is said to have documents
which belonged to Capt. Hall quite
as valuable Us any others likely to
have been left by him. Hall and
Bessels both frequented Smiths house
and meeting there, one evening,
came TO very strong lannuage re-
garding each other. Subsequently
Hall confided to Smith four boxes,
some of which referred to his re-
searches into the fate of Sir John
Franklin. Hall had never permitted
these notes to be published, being
determined, he said, to keep the Sc
cret till alter the death of Lady
Franklin, out of regard to her feel
ings. The suppressed data were to
the awful purport that Franklin's
party were reduced to eating each
other. The discovery or evidence
of such calamity, awful as it was.
would have course have added a
great exploit to the list of Halls
achievements. 70 keep ever about
with him these precious memoranda
for which he had sought so arduous-
ly, TO delay, IS it proved, beyond his
own death, the full realization Of his
fame, out OF regard to the feelings OF
the osnd aud mnurnins wido W,
makes altogether an exhibition oil
real chivaIry that attests the true
hero stuff in this man. 1t is not
alone his ice-hewn grave that chal.
lenges the world. The heart within
it was brave and tender.
