faiIure nt ,he Trancce CROP.

The tobsccO crop Is at present IL 3
state Of considerable eaervescence, IN
consequence Of very bad crop pros
poets The crop n this country, with
the exception CT Connecticut and one
or two other districts, is pronounced
by some OF the leading dealers to be
almost a failure. This is more espe-
cially the case in hosshead tobacco.
Leaf tobacco Is rot 50 bad. But the
tobacco crop is very poor all over the
world. The European crop, except in
Alsace aud that section, is very small.
The crop in Brazil will not reach half
an average crop, while that of Hava-
ma, though near al average, isreported
to be decidedly inferior in quality.
The consequence Is, that prices have
risen from four 10 five cents a pound,
with an exceedingly active demand,
and a probability of a still further
advance as the season progresses. A
variety Of reasons are given for what
would appear - be a generally bad
crop throughout the tobacco-growing
world; but the general impression
seems to be that, though in some
countries the c9prieious weather-too
dry here and too wet there-has had
good deal to do with it. The farm
ers, too, neglected to prepare their soil
sufficiently before planting. But, be
this as it may, the crops poor enough
to create an amount Of excitement and
speculation III the trade such as has not
been witnessed for years, and which
bids fair 10 keep the importers and
jobbers busy for a long while to come.

Boocner, having returned to Brook
lyn, held prayer meeting in Plymouth
church last Friday night. He was
received with loud storm of applause,
music, etc, which was, 10 say the
least, in very bad taste, occurring as
it did in the house OF God. Notwith-
standing the report Of the committee,
declaring him innocent of the charge
of committing adultery, the general
public seems rot at ell satisfied that
the verdict is just, and the Plymouth
congregation ought to have waited at
least until the courts had settled the
matter before indulging in such hila-
rious rejcicings.

A certain granger tells marvellous
tale about peach tree on the farm Of

REPUTATION.
Andy johnson and Bill Stokes De-
clare in IT'S Favor.


clare in ITS Favor.
The Chattanooga Times of last Sat
urday contains the following report of
speeches made in that city the previ-
Gus night by johnson and Stokes:
Mr. Johnson's speech was one Of the
best we ever heard from him and
presented his views of public questions
in his strongest manner, eliciting fire.
quent applause from his many friends
in the audience. He devoted much
time to a discussion Of the financial
question and declared himself in favor
Of at. least partial repudiat:on of
both state and national bonds. He
thought no people had right to create
public debt to last longer than nine
teen years. lie thought people should
not be alarmed at the cry of repudia-
ton. No large public debt had ever
been paid except by repudirion, and
no free government had ever sustained.
a permanent large debt and never
could. When a debt became perma-
nent the people became slaves to the
bondhOlders as much as if they held
bill of sale upon them. The revolu-
tionary debt Of this country had been
cut down from S0,000,G00 to about
S25, 900, 600, the balance having been
repudiated.
He announced himself in favor of
abolishing the national bank system
and issuing greenbacks in lieu of the \
national bank currency. He also
favored return to specie payment,
and said it was not necessary to have
as much gold as paper money.
After Mr. johnson had concluded
his remarks Gen. w. B. Stokes adj
dressed the audience. lie said that
his ground had been partially covered
by Mr. johnson in regard to the fnan-
cial question of the day. 1t was time
to make the square issue between the
bondholders and the. taxpayers, and
one or the other had to 90 down. He
was in favor of repudiating all the
bonds of the United Strtes, unless the
United States would pay two thousand
millions to the late shareholders of the
South in payment for the slaves which
they had enfranchised. Heannounced
that he would speak here again Oct
30th, and develop his views more fully.
He was an independent candidate for
Congress upon this platform.

What Hogs will Bring Next Season

The Cincinnati Price C1rrent, in
speaking of the hog crop of 1918,
and showing it likely to prove fair
average, thus presents the future
prices of hogs for the coming packing
season.: First, the increased price will
lead pebpie to market their hogs very
close, which is likely to take place in
December, willadd to the hog feeding,
as being the best use to make Of the
corn. 1t now seems beyond dispute
that there will be plenty of hogs for
packing purposes at five cents per
pound, live weight, taken as an aver
age for the season. There is nothing
more sure than that when hogs have
once attained their best condition
for killing, they will be sold for cur
rent rates without reference to what
these rates may be, because, after a
hog is once in excellent order, he is a
daily source of expense until realized
on, and his owners will not hold him.
We look for heavy shipments of hogs
to packing points during next Deem

We have read with great interest
Judge Porter'sspeech at Jonesborough
last week, in which he literally "used
up" Mr. Maynard. He told his audi
ence all about Maynards public re-
cord in Congress-how he was first
against the negro and then for him
how he is working for the bondhold-
ers and manufacturers of the East and
against Tennessee, etc. He fully
convinced his friends that he was a
match for Maynard on the stump and
would carry our banner successfully
to victory: in November. Maynard
lodged the great issues and made a
fierce assault on the State administra-
ton, but Porter in his rejoinder spik-
ed his guns on that issue.
