Progress of Mormonism in the South

Chattanooga Times.
Elder John Morgan, who has charge
of the Southern Headquarters Of the
Mormon Church, returned yesterday
from a protracted visit to the West.
He visited Utah, Colorado and Ari-
iona for the purpose of inspecting the
new Mormon settlements. A Times
reporter met Mr.. Morgan and had an
interesting interview with him re-
garding the progress of Mormonism
in the South. He stated that there
had been large number of new Nor
mon settlements in Arizona and Col
Orado, composed principally of con-
verts from the South. They have
made fine crops this year and seemed
highly pleased. Mr.. Morgan thought
the agitation of the Mormon question
in the South had been very beneficial
to their cause. 1t has been especially
so in Tennessee, and the interest has
been intensified by the persecution of
the missionaries in East and West
Tennessee. The number of converts
in this State this year is largely in ex-
cess of that of last year in any other
Southern State. The proselyting ell
ders have met with but little opposi-
ton anywhere this year.

AMERICA AHEAD.

The American yacht Puritan won the
second heat and the race Wednesday in
the contes. with the Genesta, an Eng.
lish yacht. This means that the cup
stays in America. 1t was feared that
the Genesta would outsail the Puritan
in rough sea but as it was a stormy
day it seems that the Puritan has beat
en- the English yacht and had all the
disadvantages. 1t is also claimed thai
had the Boston sloop been properly
sailed she would have made better time
The time made by the Puritan was
twenty miles and return in FIVE hours,
three and half minutes, and she
crossed the line one minute and quart.

England any other point on which she
thinks she can beat America?

SHORT SUPPLY.

Those most strenuously urging an ex-
elusive gold currency have never at
tempted 10 show where the necessary
supply Of this precious metal was to be
secured. 1t is we'll known that for a
number Of years the production of gold,
notwithstanding the widely extended
field Of operations, has rapidly declined.
A large portion Of the gold now obtain
ed comes from the prosecution Of silver
mining; let this industry be paralyzed
and the production Of gold will be sill
further decreased. The amount of gold
now mined is not sufficient for the mon.
etary requirements of the people at
present, even as basis OF currency.
With a decreasing supply and an in
creasing demand gold cannot long main
tain that stability Of value which a
reliable standard must possess. How
can gold become the currency of the
world when there is not a sufficient
supply of material for the purpose2-

The latest dispatches confirm the re.
port that Russia and England had
signed the protocol defining the Russo,
Afghan frontier. Mr.. Lessar, the special
Russian Commissioner, whose Mephis.
tophelian diplomacy has caused SO much
talk in Londan, will now return TO St
Petersburg, his mission having been &C.
complished. The assurance of peace
will help the Conservatives in the Eng.
fish elections. 1t will be assumed that
the Russians would have continued their
aggressive attitude had the Gladstone
Ministry remained in power. A fear Of
war as a result of Tory success is thus
eliminated from the influences which
will determine the result of the coming
elections. ,.

Miss NELLIE DEAN. daughter of a

Miss NELLIE DEAN, daughter Of a
wealthy lumber merchant in Chicago,
has created sensation by going to
work in a spinning mill as a factory
girl at salary OF sixty cents per day.
1t is understood that she has been chat.
fng her father now and again by threat
ening to earn her own living. In a
bantering way he told her that he would
give her dollar for every cent she
would earn. She saw in this her op.
portunity, and bravely sought and found
work in the mills. If her father comes
down according to his agreement her
salary of sixty cents will grow to sixty
dollars per day, figure which makes
her the envy of all her present associ.
ates. She has lots of resolution and
will undoubtedly stick to her employ
ment until she makes her fortune,
which she will not be long in doing.

How much will the railroads re-
duce the fare during the coming expo
sition at New Orleans? Last year com
paratively few people from this coast
visited the exposition for the reason that
the railroad fare was TOO high. If 1t
had been placed at one cent mile, as
was talked of, and which the roads
could well afforded to do, it would have
enabled many more people to visit New
Orleans, and the roads would have
made better thing. 1t is hoped the
fare will be reduced this time to some
reasonable figure.

STATEMENT OF CAPTAIN CARROLL.
On Friday, the 10th Today, no squad
will have longer walk than o mile and
@ half, and by the middle of next week
the camp will be moved, and at no time
after this, except for q short time In
about six weeks, will the walk be longer
than mile aud half. He states posi-.
lively that he Is not working longer than
eleven hours each day, at the outside,
allowing two hours each day for going
and coming, and claiming up and un.
chaining, and from two hours and q halt
to three hours noon rest. And on &C.
count of the difficulty of finding spring
properly located, IL Is q hard matter to
locate his camp exactly as he desires IL
each time.
Owing to the nature of the cocntry
through which he is passing now, it IS
impossible to work the men to advantage
in squads Of more than ten, hence the
length Of the line over which the men
are scattered. All of which ia respect
fully submitted.

Money In Pecan Culture.

A short time ago noticed IN article
In the Valdosta, Ga, NeaD8, entitled
prosperous PecanB," which was copied
In several papers. The writer states that
Q gentleman Of that county (LoWndes)
has q ten acre grove Of pecan trees, In o
foufishing condition, just beginning to
bear. He further states that there is one
large tree In the town of Valdoatn from
which the owner sells each year $25 to
$50 worth Of nuts.
From other statements in the article
refeEred to 1t seems that the people oi
that county are Satisfied from practical
tests that there 10 O bonanza in pecan1.
From this article and froui letterS re.
ceiVed from reliable persons who have
bearing trees in Georgia and other States,
too, am convinced that there Is O big
bonanza In pecan culture in the entise
south and In many of the Northern
States.
The most intelligent horticulturists oi
Texas who thoroughly understand the
nature and requirements of the pecan
which ls O natural growth in their State,
say that It will flourish admirably in
Georgia; but that there are many differ.
ent varieties, some being Of far better
earlier than Others.
The conclusion which / draw from
numerous letters is that the pecan will
succeed wherever the hickory grove.
Mr.. \. u. Daniel, of Crawford, Ga.
an enthusiastic cultivator OF the pecan
has bearing grove, and in. 1883, from
one tree, he sold eleven and one. hal!
bushels Of nuts In Athens, Ga, for forty.
five dollstg. He usually gets i've dollars
per bushel. In the. asnse county, at
Winterville, there are bearing trees from
which the owner receives quite d nfct
income. There are, doubtless, many
such trees scattered over the South, bnl
these are sufficient to convince mo that
large profits may be derived from the
pecan and It IL my intention to plant 4
grove next Fall. ffsI had five hundred
trees like Mr. Daniels, I would not e9
change them for tho finest orange grove
In Florida. My advice to ell is 10 plant
grove at once. The young! trees viii
not cost much, and In q few years they
will prove tobe the most! profitable In
