The Derby Stakes.

The race won Wednesday by p. Loril-
lard's American Iroquois was the 1920
Derby, and is the first victory of an
American horse in the race for the Derby
stakes. The Derby was first run in
1880, and has since then ranked as one
of the principal events in England and
although its popularity is being threat
ened by the liberal stakes and added
moneys at other meetings, it is not
likely to cease to be the grand event
of the racing year. The recollections
attached to the race have become part
of the history of England. EPSON,
where the Derby is run, is a parish in
the county of Surrey, fourteen miles
from London, ON the turnpike from
London to Dorking. About 1850 the
town became known from one end of
the kingdom to the other by the dis
covery of the springs from which the
celebrated EPSON salts are derived.
People went from London to drink of
the waters, and in course of time fash
ionable town sprang up, with lodging
houses, ball room, and other accom-
modations. Racing was introduced
there previous to 1877, for James /. lived
there, and he was fond of racing. In
the reign of Charles /. races were Of
frequent occurrence, as they were used
to bring the gentry together, where so
much plotting was done that Cromwell
forbade the sport But century later
the racing at EPSON had become famous,
and, although there are no records,
nearly all of the old publications make
mention of the fact. Racing, however,
seems to have injured the town as
fashionable resort, and soon nothing was
left to EPSON except its race course,
which in due time came to be the best
in England. Within the last few years
the town has been nearly rebuilt A
number OF trainers, jockeys, and others
identified with the turf make it their
home, and Lord Rosebory has a country
residence there, the Durdans. The be.
ginning of the mile and half race
course is wide enough for forty starters.
The first ground covered is a steep
ascent, followed, when the top of the
hill is reached, by tolerable fiat ground
for three furlongs. Then comes the
very sharp descent to Tottenham Corner
"a rather dangerous curve, and the
straight run in of rather less than half
mile, the rise to the stand being grad
nal and slight. With the exception OF
Tottenham Corner there is no dangerous
part of the course, and the running track
ell around is of ample width 10 afford
elbow room to practically unlimited
number Of starters.

The Fortune Bay Outrage.
MONEY TO BIZ PAID AMERICAN FISHERMEN
FOR DAMAGES SUSTAINED.

Secretary Blaine and Sir Edward
Thornton have concluded the prolonged
negotiations in regard to the outrages
upon American fishermen at Fortune
Bay, N. F., in January, 1873, and at o
later date at Aspee Bay, Cape Breton.
The American claims for losses by the
several fishermen aggregated S103, 000
The agreement between Secretary Blaine
and Sir Edward Thornton is that the
British Government shall pay G15,000
in gold coin and this Government will
give receipt in full. The money will
probably be paid some time this week
and will be promptly distributed among
the rightful owners. Dwight Foster, of
Boston, and William Fl. Prescott and
Francis Hackett, of Washington, are
the attorneys who represented the in
terests of the claimants. Nearly the
whole amount goes to Gloucester, Mass.

to make up large and valuable Weekly.

its attention. When the Legislature
assemblies, we will publish live Daily

be one of the most important that has
ever been held in the State, and the
people will look TO its proceedings with
deep concern. The highest aim of the
publishers will be to make the paper
valuable in every department, and
worthy of the continued confidence and

looked to it in vain for the championship
of their cause. We intend to keep
if not somewhat ahead, of the
grand progressive wave that is sweep
ing over the State.

A New En- glander's DisinterestedG
Advice to the South.

1t is wonderful how much better
Northern people know how the South
ern people ought to manage the business
of the latter, than the Southern people
themselves. Down to the smallest
details, the former assume to possess all
the wisdom and the latter are mere
tyros even about what concerns them
most. 1t is only when Northern advi-
sers venture to give practical test OF
their wisdom that it is seen how little they
really know how to manage business for
Southern people. Soon after the war
numbers of them settled in the South
for the purpose of making Gotten under
the new labor system. They intended
to show that it was far better than the
compulsory plan under which planting
had been conducted with the precision
of machinery. They had plenty of
money to operate with, and started out
with oolors flying. They had proceeded
but a short distance, before they dis
covered that the farther they went, the
deeper they got into the mire; and be-
fore single year had passed they had
learned by experience that their beauti-
full theories were all nonsense. Their
money was gone. Their plantations
swamped. Like the boy that was
kicked by the mule. they were not so
good looking, but they had more sense.
The most arrogant pretension to SUI
perior knowledge was exhibited at the |
Atlanta Exposition the other day by
Mr.. Edward Atkinson, statistician, of
Boston, who undertook to prove to the
Southern people generally, and the
shrewd Georgians particularly, that
New England was the proper place in
this country to manufacture cotton,
and that the people of the South
could raise cotton at three cents per
pound. He intimated that the people
Of the South should not GO extensively |
into the manufacture Of cotton, but
stated that if they were determined to
10 Sc, New England was the place to buy
heir machinery. He described at great
ength a variety Of machines made in
New England for the manufacture of
cotton, and advertised the merits Of
hem thoroughly. OF course the shrewd |
seorgians who have demonstrated the |
liter fallacy Of the Yankees theory,
we're more amused than instructed.
they politely pulled down the corner Of
heir ewes and asked him if he saw
.RYthing green. His idea, too, that
Sew England was the place for Southern
nen to buy machinery if they would
,ersist in going into the foolishaess Of
manufacturing. was decidedly rich. Mr.

Are Greenbacks Subject to Taxa
tlonP

This question is sometimes asked. 1t
is answered in the negative by the St.
Globe Democrat upon authority which
it cites in support of its assertion. 1t
says that the opinion bearing on this
subject may be found in 4 and Is
Wheaton's Reports, and Wallaces.
The opinion in "Bank against Supervi-
sors," reported in Wallace, contains
this express statement: "Our conclusion
is that United States notes are exempt
from taxation" The act of February
%, 1865, under which the first $780,
100000 of United States notes were
issued, declares that "all United States
bonds and other securities of the United
States held by individuals, associations
or corporations within the United States,
shall be exempt from taxation by or
under State authority" The Court
held that these notes are obligations,
and are, therefore, securities" The
same language occurs in the act of July
II, 1862, under which $3.50, 000,0 900 of
additional notes were issued, and in the
act of March 3, 1868, under which the
remaining greenbacks were issued,
there are substituted in the exemption
clause, for the words "0ther securities,
the words Treasury notes or United
States notes issued under the provisions
of this act. The Court held that the
rule established in the last act is in no
respect inconsistent with that established
in the former acts--that the latter act
is merely explanatory, making specific
what was expressed generally in the
two previous acts.
The following sections from the Re
vised Statutes of the U. s., passed
June 30, 1864, is conclusive:
SECTION 8.7OS. All stocks, bonds,
treasury notes and other obligations of the
Quilted States shall DO exempt from taxa
ton by or under state, municipal or local
legislation.
7.Sec.. SAB. The words obligations or
other security OF the United State shall be
held to mean all bonds, certificates of in
debtednrss. national currency, coupons, |
United States notes. treasury notes, frat |
tional notes, certificates of deposit, bills, |
checks or drafts for money, drawn by OF
upon authorized officers of the United !
States, stamps and others representatives OF |
value of whatever denomination, which |
have been or may be issued under any act

cotton Manufacturing IN the South.

We have had something to say about
the advice of Dir. E. C. Atkinson, of
Boston, in his Atlanta address, to the
people of the South not to engage in
cotton manufacturing. OF course, the
shrewd Georgians understood what the
cunning Yankee was driving at. He
does not want the supremacy in cotton
manufacturing to pass from New Eng
land to the South, as it must do In the
near future, for the simple reason that the
South has natural advantages which New
England has not. Its climate is favorable
to the manufacture of cotton, and it has
abundance Of water power and fuel.
She wants cheaper manufacturing ma
chinery, and this will be afforded when
the excessive duty which is levied upon
the foreign article for the benefit of
New England monopolists, is removed.
AT the very time Mr.. Atkinson was
expatiating at such lively rate to the
Georgians, they had only to weigh in
the scale against his theory, the fact
that Georgia has about sixty factories
in operation. These factories are scat
tered all over the State, many out in
the country where the cotton is grown.
They are all in a highly prosperous con-
dition. The stock of some of the old
est established are at fabulous prices.
One of the best managed concerns will
not let it be known to outsiders how
much they do make. According to a
correspondent the Eagle and Phoenix,
of Columbus, has paid fifteen per cent.
the last two years, and appropriated
81 200, 900 to an additional building
and new machinery The Langley, of
Augusta, has paid three semi-annual
dividends of eight per cent. There is
a new million dollar factory going up in
Augusta and the stock went above par
as soon as the first brick was laid. The
goods are all sold as rapidly as manu-
featured and, in fact, some of the mills
cannot supply the demand

The Tucker Fund.

When Governor Wilt, of Louisiana,
died he left his family life insurance
of 80 900 and home which is valued
at SIS, 000 A meeting of his friends
was held and $4,000 subscribed to a
fund for his wife, and committees APP
pointed to solicit further contributions.
When Gen. Tucker was assassinated,
his family was left without means; they
were entirely dependent for support
upon his daily labor. He gave the best
part of his life to his State in the army
and was almost literally shot to pieces.
After the war, not setting up money as his
idol, he still labored for the public good;
and there never came an election in
which he did not bestow his time and
earnings for the benefit of the cause in
which the hopes of his people were
bound up Besides, he was christian
gentleman. He gave literally to the
church of which he was a good member
and an ornament. Without a moments
warning he was struck down by the
hand of an assassin, and his large fami-
Iy were deprived of their only stay and
prop. Will not our people all come
forward and help to raise a TUCKER
FUND? His army comrades all loved
him. We know that when they brush
away the tear which comes unbidden at
the recollection of their true companion
of the field and the camp, they will re-
member the widow and the orphan.
Nor can they be forgotten by the members
of the bar. They will all remember
Gen. Tucker as the beau ideal of true
member of the noble profession. The
women of Mississippi can do great
deal toward raising a fund. 1t was
goodness and thoughtfulness
that suggested it. Let the good work
90 on. Remember that the 'Lord
loves a cheerful giyer."
