"Honest Old Tste,' for Twenty Years
State Treasurer Of Kentucky,
Short In His Accounts.
An Investigation Discloses q d. ficft of
$50, O00-The Electors Had Perfect
Confidence In his Honesty.

FRANKFORT, KY, March Ex-Governor
Buckner this morning suspended the
treasurer of the state, James W. Tate.
Tate is charged with defalcation In his
Office and it is said he has fed the state
The defaultiDg official has been treasurer
for tWenty-one years. He was considered
the soul of honor, ana the news will
produce tremendous sensation through
out the state. 1t is thought Tste's short
age will amount to between $50, 600 aud
SO 900.
A later dispatch from Frankfort states
that the Investigation Immediately in7
stituted on recommendation of Go7srRof
BucSner has, up to IL O'Clock this mofn
ing, disclosed @ deficit in TAte's sofficG of
$3.50, 900, and that the Irregularities Seem
to run back eleven years. The discovery
Of Tste's shortage is the result of an ex
animation Of his books commenced some
days ago by an expert accountant. The
Governor had placed the Treasurer's
Office in charge of Auditor Hewitt
and Attorney General Hardin. In
bis message TO the Legislature Governor
Buckner says he has reasons for believ-
ing the deficits to be large, and recon-
mends that Sn immediate investigation re
ordered. In the House 8 committee WAS
at once appointed and ordered to prose-
cute the investigation in connection with
the cficials IN charge Of the Office. Pend
ing the investigation the office will of
course be closed. The state has abund-
ant res urces On hand, and sll curren,
expenses, payments due, etc,
will be met without iaterrup.

bond was $4,000 and is well covered.
He was in Louisville Saturday nignl
when he was observed to be drinking
lard, IN unusuel thing for him. Since
that time ne has not been seen and his
Whereabouts is unknown.
HIS RECORD.
James W. Tate was elected State Treas
erer in 1867, having been nominated by
the Democrats. He has been reelected
continuously at each election since then,
making his tenure of office twenty years
On August 81 last. In the last Democratic
campaign Tate had no opposition foI
State Treasurer. Everybody laughed
at the idea Of opposing "Honest
Old Tate" He received Demo-
cratic nomination for the tenth
consecutive time. His mSjorities have
always stood among the largest on his
ticket, and merry, honest, jolly old
'Dick" Tate has been one of the most
widely known and universally liked men
in Kentucky. In addition to being State
| Treasurer he was commissioner Of the
sinking funds and was one of those en-
trusted with the management Of the stale
penitentiRry.
A dispatch Just received from Frank
fort says Mr.. Mays has offered resOlu-
ton in the House authorizing the Offering
of reward of $4,000 for the arrest of j.
W. Tate. 1t is joint resolution and lies
over day under the rules.

Death,

TExARKANA, ARK March 90 This
evening the three-yesr-old son of DR.. Il.
R. Webster OF this city came to its death
from the effects of sconite. DR.. Webster
is an eminent physician, and OF his re
turn home from q professional visit left
his medicines where they could be reache d
by the child. Only small quantity
of the poison was taken, but it produced
death before an sntidote could be OBJ
tanned.
This is the third week of the session OF
the Bowie county grand jury, and their
labors are still continued. A great many
bills have been found, and the bailifs are
hunting up witnesses to indict others.
Toe remains Of Mrs. Dora V. Hawkins
arrived here to-day from st. Louie, and 8
large crowd attended the funeral cere-
mony. Deceased was the widow OF the
late DR.. W. H Hawkins, who was very
eminent physician, and one of the found
ers OF this city. Since his death, which
occurred here several months ago, his
venerable wife has been pros
trsted with grief, and short while
ago went to st. Louis, where it
was hoped that a change Of scene would
benefit her, but she died Saturday last.
The family was highly respected and the
connections sre numerous in this city.
The case OF the heirs of 1. P. Hsuner
VS. George SumrerhiIl is on trial to-day
and is likely to continue the best part OF
the week. It has been on the docket for
many yesrs, and the amount involved is
considerable, being no less than the title

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
Cotton Picking.

We used to estimate the final total
yield of our individual cotton crop by
simply multiplying by two the total
picked cut by the first day of October,
experience having shown that under
ordinary circumstances one-half our
crop was usually harvested by that
date. With the constant Improvement
in the varieties of cotton in respect of
earliness of maturity, aided by the
almost universal use of concentrated
and stimulating fertilizers. the rule
will not now hold good. The dates of
the appearance of the first bale, the
active opening of the cotton season,
and the gathering of the bulk of the
crop. have all been moved back per-
haps two weeks as compared with
twenty years ago. The present crop
is later than usual, and yet we judge
that more than half of it has
been gathered and half of the remain
der is open in the fields. These re-
marks apply particularly to the lati-
tude of thirty-two and a half degrees,
are made to illustrate the changes that
have been wrought by improvement
in seed and the use of commercial fer
tilizers. 1t is remarkable, however,
that no practical devbce or machine
has yet been perfected to aid in the
tedious work of cotton-picking, and we
stand just where we did forty. years
ago. And yet there is no detail of the
work of cotton production which so
urgently calls for the aid of inventive
talent as that of picking.
1t has often been remarked that cot
ton is one of the least exhaustive crops
known to agriculture, provided the
seed, or the seed meal, be faithfully
returned to the soil. In a direct sense
this is true. The lint of cotton, which
is the prime object of its cultivation,
contains, in 100 pounds, only IL pounds
of inorganic or soil elements, or ashes.
To state it in tabular form, 100 pounds
cotton lint contain Of
