Mr.. G. F. Kelley of this place says
he has just gathered in to his cellar
375 bushels of carrots from little over
three quarters of an acre of land. They
are of the Ok Heart and White Belg-
ian varieties. Many OF the Ok Hearts
are six inches in diameter, aud many
OF the Belgians are two and one half
feet long. He also says he harvested
eight tons of millet from 81 acres OF
ground. Surely with such crops as
these Crawford county farmers need
not fear to compare notes with farm
ers further south.

unframed minds are unequal to the
task of reforming stale and useless
practices. they comfortably drop into
the old ruts, to forget all about re

were ever so abused. What the demo

WASHINGTON LETTER
From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Oct. End, sc

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2nd, sc
Washington is only now recovering
from summer of tropical heat which
TENDER. The revival of that social
and political life which is peculiar to
the capital is seen and felt on the
avenues, about the hotels, and in the
Government Departments. The fami-
lies of senator's who own homes here
have returned. The presidential angler
has been back for week. The first
Cabinet meeting of the season has been
held, though not with full Cabinet,
and the usual preparation for the con-
gressional session is going on in homes
and In boarding houses.
Secretary Manning is expected to
take hold of the financial helm again
to morrow, though it is given out that
he will touch it gently, and not un-
necessarily waste his limited strength.
Acting secretary Fairchild has issued
another bond call-the 143d. He
wants $15, O00,O of the three per
cent loan of 1882 to be delivered upon
the first day of November next, and
he emphasizes the fact, that the inter
est of the numbers designated will
cease on that day. This is not a vol
untary call. 1t is specific. 1t means
business. The bonds will be forth
coming,
According to statement Issued by
the department, the amount of per
cent loan uncalled is but $50, 52S, 200,
the total loan having originally $685.
5S1, $50. Some discussion, not too
well informed, has taken place as to
the effect of these bond calls upon the
volume of the currency. 1t has been
claimed that the general effect would
be unfavorable to the extent that tile
called bonds were held by the banks
but the best fnanciers consider this &c
be an extreme view. The effect upon
the ultimate volume Of bank circul
alton is, of course, much wider
question and one as to which the
policy of the banks has not been clear
ly determined.
During the past week the public
printer has dismissed $50 persons
about 100 of whom were women EN-
ployed In the folding room. These
discharges will make a reduction In
the pay roll of s25. 900 per month. This
