FARMERS DEBTS.
Astoundlng Statements from . Nambss 81
8outhcrn States.

Astoundln4 Statements from . NumboS q
Southern States.
Tho Department of Agriculture has
Teen investigating, through its State
agents. the subject Of farmers debts in
the South. and the facts it has collected
are to Northern man at least as
founding. 1t seems that the Southern
planters not only generally hold their
lands subject to mortgages on which
they pay from 8 to 10 per cent. interest,
but the majority of them mortgage
their crops to merchants who furnish
them with fertilizers, food and other
supplies to be paid for in the fall. For
supplies obtained in this way the most
exhorbitant prices are charged, the in
Grease over cash rates being enough to
wipe out any possible profit in the best
of seasons. The North Carolina agent
says 1T least one-fourth of the value Of
the cotton crop in his State is lost to
the farmers in this way. In South Car
DINA the recorded liens on growing
crops show that there were advances to
farmers by merchants amounting to
nearly twelve millions of dollars in
1882, and the extra price charged for
this accommodation was from 20 to 40 per
cent. In Georgia the supplies bouy hit
on credit are bacon. lard, flour. corn
and hay and fertilizers. The average
cash anil credit prices of corn and bacon
during the last growing season (aver-
age Of the State) were about as follows:
Cents. Cent. Payable
GSs9 :..... g iss Nov Nov
The average length of credit is abo,
four months, buying commencing about
May and extending throughout July,
payable November l. This would indi-
cate rate per cent. per annum for
corn 50, and bacon .02 over the cash
prices. The agent says that it would
be safe to say that the average rate per
cent, added to the cash prices of all
goods sold to farmers, is SO per cent.
per annum.
In Alabama 45 per cent. of the farm
ers were in debt January l. and with
out available means of meeting such in
debtedness. They were, therefore,
obliged to purchase all their supplies
on time, and for thus having mort
gagged his crop to one merchant he is
compelled to pay that one whatever he
pleases to ask, which is. generally at
least SO per cent. more than the cash
price. OF Louisiana the agent writes:
''Seventy-five per cent of the farmers
and planters are in debt. The cost of
such Indebtedness, in my opinion, is
fully Is per cent. of the entire crop.
The current rate of interest upon adj
vances of money and provisions is NOM
inally 8 per cent. and p per cent. for
selling. and per cent. freights; total,
about Is per cent Country merchants
charge more, obtaining from Is to 20
per cent. for advancing, besides heavy
profit on goods sold: Chicago Herald

MCCARTHY Wants to Return.


BY the last steamer from Honolulu
several letters we're received from ex-
Supreme Court Clerk John Day Nc
Carthy by some of his intimate friends.
One of the letters was a request for
Deputy Clerk John S. Williams to be
careful to make out the January state
ment of fees and to transmit the same
to the Controller when finished.
1t is evident from the tenor of the
letters that Mccarthy at the time they
were written was ignorant of the APP
pointment of his successor. He also
states that Honolulu is not quite up to
his expectation, but that his health has
greatly improved, and that he contem-
plated a speedy return to California.
Whether Mccarthy returns voluntar-
lily or is given into the custody OF
Detective Bee by the Hawaiian authori-
ties, his advent in California, in the
opinion of many of the legal profession,
must necessarily lead to embarrassing
complications, as he has not yet been
convicted of malfeasance in Office and
is, therefore, still the Clerk of the Su-
preme Court and entitled to the salary,
providing he returns within the pre-
scribed sixty days.. which leave of alb
sence is accorded any State official =

Since Electricity has been applied for light
ing purposes, all efforts of inventors have
been directed to construct lamp for general
domestic use. The reason why this problem
has till now not been solved, IS that none Of
the inventors could rid themselves Of the idea
of gas lighting, and that all have adhered to
the system Of producing the Electricity in
some central place, or by lalge machinery, in
stead of first laying down the principle that a
Lamp which should ever become generally
useful and popular, must be portable, like an
Oil Lamp, and contain the generator Of Elec-
tricity in itself, i. e.. in the foot Of the Lamp.
The Norman Electric Light Company has
at last succeeded in completely realizing this
ideal Of Electric Lighting, and there is no
doubt that this most important invention will
bring about complete revolution in all
branches of lighting.
Our Electric Lamp needs neither Machin-
cry, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay,
and is neither complicated nor disagreeable in
manipulation all that is necessary is to refill
it every four or five days with acid. The cost
of lighting will be as cheap as gas ~ cents
per hour), and it has before the latter the inn
mense advantage Of neither producing heat,
smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to which the
air is not inquired, and remains at the same
degree of temperature. II is further abso
lutely inodorous, and does not need to BIZ
kindled by match, or otherwise, but simply
by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger
Of fire, explosion or sufiocation, as in the case
of gas, if the key is left open and it must be
conceded that this advantage alone is invalu
able 1t is further preferable to any known
kind of lighting for the following reasons;
~ Its manipulation is SO simple that any
child can keep it in order.
(2.) That the Lamp is portable, and can be
removed like any Oil Lamp, from one plac,
to another.
t3.) That it neither requires the disagree
able fixing Of the wick, or the cleaning of th'
cylinder, as in the case of Oil Lamps.
(4.) That the light produced is soft anC
most steady one that it never ilickers, ,anC
the flame, though being equal in power o
lighting to gas, can be regulated to any de
gree.
(5.) That every danger of fire is ABSOLUTELY
excluded, as the light will exlinguish immedi
ately, if by any accident the glass surrounding
the burner should be broken.
TO- That ii will burn, even in the stronges
wind, completely unaffected, thus being in
valuable for Examinations, lighting Of gardens
corridors, etc.
This Lamp is constructed for the present il
three different sizes
