Barley and rye harvest has been in
progress for week past in this county,
and all accounts agree that the crop is
the best we have had for years. Wheat
has developed finely under the cool
weather and farmers tell US that the
prospect is excellent, the grain being
already hardened to such an extent as
to he beyond any serious danger from
rust or blight. The crop Of this county
is now measurably safe unless we
should have a wet harvest. Flax also
gives splendid promise and if we escape
hail and have ordinarily good weather
for gathering there will be bountiful
crop Of flax. Oats, too, is in fine condi-
ticn, some farmers saying they never
saw better oats. Corn, of course, is
backward, but healthy and growing
finely under the recent warm weather.
Altogether, we are on the eve of the
best harvest ever gathered in Mobiles
county. We are not out Of the woods
yet, and it is not safe to shout too soon,
but so far the outlook is very encoura-
ging, and if such weather as we have
had during the last fortnight should
continue for few weeks, we shall sup
plement, or rather inaugurate, the rail-
road boom with big crop boom.
Given good big crop, Il new railroad
sure by October or November, and sew
eral other railroads on the way, and we
can promise Worthington such a boom
as nobody ever expected except the pro-
phetic and telescope ADVANCE. We
are prepared to handle our share of it.
We have taken time by the forelock
and have our rain barrels set for the
shower. We feel safe III advising 9TH
ers to do likewise, for the rain is COM
ing.
Therefore, if we succeed in gathering
tile present big crop safely, we predict
such rush into this part of the country
as the Northern Pacific country has
had for the past few years. Two or
three good crops OF wheat up north have
sent tens of thousands of settlers to the
Red River and Northern Pacific coun-
try annually, and we shall undoubted-
'y have the same eXl erience here when
it becomes known that we have had a
full crop and are on an east and west
railroad leading up directly from Chi
cago.

BRICK Il XCCLE,SY.


We announce it as settled that good
brick can he made III this vicinity, bet
ter than the Mankato brick which have
been i'll uso here for ten years and just
us good as are mado at Lemars.
We announced last week that Messrs.
Moore s. Green had q kiln of hand
made brick cooling off and that they
considered it success. Specimens are
now on exhibition in town and they are
good hard brick, not us smooth rs press
ed brick, but they settle the question as
to our clay. They have sent for 4 press
and expect to open i yard about (. mile
west OF town.
Messrs. Bigelow & Mott finished
burning AL experimental kiln of 5000
OH Saturday night last. The burning
was done mostly with hay and contin-
ued for only "a hours. But they pro-
no',nce it a success.
Messrs. B. & Al. have moved their
press to !. Fl. Johnson's place a few
miles north of town where they found
Clue clay under the gravel bed. Their
next kiln will he located within a few
feet of the side:track used for gravel
trains. The brick can be loaded on
cars at the kiln and run into Worthing-
ton, where they can lie sold below Man
kato prices with freight off besides.
So we can build a city on the banks
of the Okabenas. And without abund-
ance of brick made at home, and better
railroad facilities, it is out of the ques-
ton to ever put anything Of Il city here.
But next season we shall have both,
and then the building Of the City of
Worthington will begin, a city of the
grade of Mankato and Rochester at
least.
MIR. MATTHEW'S HEARD FROM
Lieut.. Plotts, one Of the Committee
on distribution of New York boys, has
received the following letter:
Mr.. Matthews desires me to say to
you that on the 30th Of June he met
with a serious accident on the Long
Branch railroad. The train was thrown
off the track and the Car in which he
| was, was rolled into the river. He was
badly bruised, then lay in the water
hours, having a narrow escape from
drowning. He was very badly injured
and for several days we were in doubt
as to the result. He is now slowly
mending. A few days after he was
hurt, his wife fell down cellar and dis
located her shoulder. So they have
both been helpless. He desires me to
say that as soon as he is able, either to
get to town or attend to matters by let
ter, he will attend to your list, and
hopes to get out again shortly. Will
make your business his first care. Give
his love to all friends. Says il any ad.
justing is needed he can trust you to
attend to it until he comes.

An Imnnrthni Case.

Last week there was argument before
tho supreme court OF the United States in
the case of the county of San Mateo (Cal-
iiornia,) plaintiff in error, against the
Southern Pacific railroad company. OF
counsel for the company were Senator
Edmunds and Ex-senator Conklihg. For
the county of San Mateo, A. l.. Rhodes,
ex-chief justice of California and A. l.
Hart. attorney general of California
appeared.
California allows an "oifset" for debts
owing in case of individuals but started
out 10 tax the railroad without making
this allowance. The company claims
that this violates the fourteenth amendment
to the United States constitution and it.
claim was held god in the United State,
circuit court 6y DO h Judge Sawyer of tina
court and Judge Field of the supreme
court sitting in the circuit court.
The fourteenth amendment provides
that no state shall deprive any person OF
life, liberty or property without cue pro-
cess Of law nor deny TO AIRY larson in its
jurisdiction the equal protection OF the
laws The state of CalifOrl il has attempted
to tax the railroad on different basis OF
system from that applied to individuals.
The argument for the company is tina,
the railroad is in law a person; that al
any rate its owners are persons and that
in taxing the property of the corporation
or that of its owners in way not made
common to all the corporation OF it!
owners are denied the equal protection o
the laws; and that such system of taxa
ton is not "due process of law" Tha
for the county is that the franchise of thu
road is subject to taxation and that i
state, to exercise the power Of taxation
which is essential to its existence, mus
have power to classify property for The
purpose of assessment and taxation.
The decision of this case will be mpor
tant in many states. For while n resul
adverse to the county might not affect tn
right to impose franchise taxes that, in S
fur as the amount of tax raised woult
result in about the same thing as discrim
ination in taxing property, it would pu
an end to different taxation of propert
in the hands of one holder from what i
made i'll case of another holder. And
good many state tax laws will have to b
remodeled if the views of Judges Sawye
and Field are held to be sound by tn
supreme court.
At any rate the decision will be of niue
interest as giving judicial intcrpretatio
OF an amendment which was intended t
secure equal civil rights; and as tellin
what determinations may or may not /
made by states and the "cq1al protccIio
olthe laws preserved"
