Judge John r. Henderson Gives Some
Interesting Points.
Judge John T. Henderson, commissioner of
agriculture, rs full of interesting information
about the crops.
"The cotton CROP" said he, Yesterday. Gin
Georgia last year ran up to 100000 hales-and
in my judgment it will not only not fall short

How about corn, judge2"
well, the corn crop in Georgia. generally
considered, Is exceptionally good this year. 10
is fully as large as last season yes, and larger,
too The oat crop in'the state, generally speak.
ing, Is a failure, think."
"Why?"
at is impossible to tell all the causes which
have conspired to make the oat crop u failure,
but the freezes last winter had good deal to
do with it-their effect was to destroy the
stand. The rust, too, during tho spring, in
jured oats in Georgia terribly. In some Sec
tons OF the state, of course, the yield will be
fine"
"How did the oat crop pan out last year2"
"Badly. The crop footed up about 5000, 900
bushels, It will be about the same this
year, l think"
"The wheat crop?"
Wheat is getting to be very Insignificant
crop in this state. The yield last year went
To about S3,5000O0 and / much doubt
whether il will reach that figure this season."
TO what cause is this falling off to be
ascrbedP"
at is very hard TO say. Climatic and vari.
Gus other influences combine to prevent large
yield"
'The year 1882" continued Judge Hender-
son, was one OF the most fruitful years that
Georgia has ever known. 1t gave ms tho
largest cotton crop in the history Of the state,
tho number OF bales being about 10000. From
that year 10 the present the cotton crop has
not fallen below 100000 bales. We had the
largest corn crop then--about 5000, o00h bushels
and the largest oat crop, II 100000 bushels
having been gathered. The wheat crop footed
up 100000 The year 1882 was o good year
for nearly every crop that was put In the

A special from Jasper, forty miles west Of

- RALEIGH, n. c., August 81. Especial. J.
George Denning and his sister Ab6ie, both
l9lotS, living III Sampson county. near Newton
Gfoye, had quarrel as was their habit.
Abole became furious with George and being
the stronger OF the two, said she was deter
mined TO punish him for it,. She procured a
rope, put ii around his neck and then put it
over one OF the joistS in the house and swung
him up.
A neighbor went to the house just in time
to see the unfortunate brother die, while the
sister, chattoring and laughing, stood near.
The parents of the idiots had been trying to
get them to the asylum for some time past, but
failed to DO so.

LoNGvIEw. Tex, August 3d. Special. i
ABOUT O'Clock this afternoon Deputy Sheriff
Walker Reynolds returned from his search for
Iho pOuy Vi IdIGiSOH spencer, the local C0lOred
politician, who was forcibly taken from his
home few nights ago by a masked band Of ku
klux, supposed to be composed mainly of men,
bers of his own race because no had deserted
the union labor party. which is very strong
among the negroes of east Texas. and an
nounced his intention to support the republi-
can presidential ticket and the democratic
state and local tickets.
Reynolds reported that he had found
Spencer's body about three and half miles
from this place, on the west bank of Harris
creek.
No sooner had the news spread than one
hundred citizens, white and black, started to
the scene. The dead man was found hanging
from limb, about fifteen feet from the ground,
with three-eights cotton rope around his
neck. His hands were tied behind him, and
the cords were drawn so tightly that they cut
deeply into the flesh.
He was evidently shot before the rope was
placed around his neck. There is a bullet hole
just behind his left ear and one in his left side,
and his person had been brutaily and horribly
mutiated. His shirt was torn from his back
and scars where he had been severely whipped
are plainly visible.

A GRAND SHOWING.
Georgia's Taxable Property Foots Tn
1887, 703.,33I.

GeOrRlhb JhTabio property Roots Up
@357,763,,33i
The digests from all OF tho counties in the
state have been received at the comptroller
generals office.
The property in tho aggregate returned by
the l37 counties is Georgia sum up 1927 1863, 33l .
But this does not include the property re-
turned by the taxable railroads in the state,
which win aggregate S29000OOO.
This makes Georgia's property return foot
up the snug sum OF 1857 ,8G3331.
There - upwards OF S300O0,0O0 Of railroad
property in Georgia which is non-taxabIe. Tho
Central, the Southwestern, .the Augusta and
Savannah and the Western and Atlantic roads
are exempt from taxation.
The digests from all Of tho counties show a
net increase over last year Of 81 .258, 002, and
the net gain in railroad property returned will
amount sf,OOO,0oO, which runs up the aggre-
gate net increase for the last fiscal year to
$l5,2JSOO2.
In 1879 just nino years ago, the digest
showed the property in Georgia TO DO S22J-
03j, 80 and the railroads returned tho same
year 1865. 10.
So that, in nine years, Georgia has gained
about 3l20,OOOO00 IN taxable property on the
digest, and SZ0,OO0,0O0 in taxable railroad
property.
IN other words, the the state Of Georgia Is
richer by about one hundred aud twenty. tlTeo
millions OF dollars than she was nine years
ago.

THE NEXT CIVIL WAR.

1t is an open question whether in
the next civil war undefended towns
will be attacked? In past wars they
have not been, but some think they
will he in future-that is to say,
they will be given the option of pay
ing heavy sums of money in short
time or suffering bombardment
the idea being that the more money
obtained and the greater misery
generally inflicted, the shorter will
be the duration of the war; and
this may, very possibly, be true.
That small cruisers of the enemy
will, il they can, sink our merchant
shipping and leave the crews to take
their chance of sink or swim in their
own boats is moo erately certain; for
such cruiser could neither afford
time to rescue the crews, space to
stow them, nor men of her own to
form prize crew. Blackwood' $

EASI STEAMERS.

If in making a passage you are
warned by rapidly falling baro-
meter and the veering of the wind
that you are approaching unplea-
sanity near the vortex Of revolv-
ing storm, you can quickly run a
fast ship into the outer circle, and
in many cases what might other
wise prove to be q disastrous gale
may be transformed into fair
wind. Again, should you be caught
in a heavy gale without due warning,
the great power of the fast ship rem
ders her much superior sea boat,
inasmuch as with the judicious use
of that power you are enabled TO
keep your ship In the most favora-
BILE position all the Time, while a
ship of small power would be con-
tinually falling off and bringing the
sea abeam, rendering herself liable
to suffer damage about the decks
as she came TO the wind again.
In ordinary storms fast ship
will get through the bad weather in
half the time slow one will, and
in dull, cloudy weather, such as
one meets at certain seasons of the
year, for days together without sun,
moon or stars, fast ship, from her
greater speed, will be able to make
safer and more direct courses than
the slow one. In making land, you
are often able to save your day
light by fast ship, and, in making
port, you may save the tide and ell.

anchor outside and face all the con.
tingencies that might arise in that

A CLASS OF BlLKS.

EDITOR BULLETIN The practice
of employers allowing their servants
to draw wages in advance in order
that the latter may deprive their
creditors of the only means they
have of collecting their just dues,
by garnishee process, is anything
but commendable. Unfortunately
Honolulu is infested with class of
dead beats, who, having no prop
erty worth attaching, manage
through some prstence or other, to
leave their employers in debt, or
will run up bills which they never
intend to pay. l know several of
this class now in Honolulu who make
practice Of living by such debased
means. Surely no respectable en-
ployer would willingly assist such
system of thievery by placing obsta-
cles in the way of collecting bills
due by such scoundrels. 1t is to
be hoped that employers will assist
in roofing out such an undesirable
class of bills, and confer benefit
on the whole community.

SHOULD ANOTHER APPEAL BE
NECESSARY?

An appeal was made a short time
ago, through the columns of this
paper, by correspondent, to the
humane and charitable, on behalf
of an unfortunate fellow man who
is unable to earn his bread by rea-
son of having lost his eye-sight. 1t
was not in vain. A person with
heart Of sympathy took the matter
in hand and went around among the
people soliciting donations. The
people inclined their ears, opened
their hearts, and gave of the con-
tents of their pockets. The result
was purse of close upon $3.50,
which has been handed to the un-
fortunate man, and for which he
and his family are truly grateful.
Let this be said for the people of
Honolulu: they are never deaf to
the call of charity. Whatever po-
litical feelings may engender strifes
and produce bitter words and hard
feelings, appeal to their practical
sympathies ON behalf of some poor
fellow in distress or need, and there
is cheerful response.
Well, the person above referred
to and his family have, by the be-
nevolence of the public, been re-
lieved of present want and imme-
diate anxiety. Possibly he and
they, in the fullness of their joy and
gratitude, may feel no concern for
the future. But the sum contribut-
ed, with the most careful economy,
is not going to last very long. If
when it is exhausted another appeal
should be made to the community,
the community, no doubt, will
again cheerfuly respond.
But should 1t be necessary TO
make another appeal? We think
not. This man was the servant OF
the Honolulu Iron Works Company,
and served the company faithfully
and conscientiously for eighteen OF
twenty years, we believe. In its
service be lost his sight, the great

DARWIN ON MISSIONARIES.

EDITOR BULLETIN 81 noticed in
Fridays Advertiser" about q
quarter Iof a column of quasi-edi-
torial drivel as to Mr.. Darwin's
high opinion of Missionaries. Allow
me to suggest that if the illustrious
gentleman had ever run across the
genus "Missionary" that has taken
root in our fertile soil he would find
that they differ materially and radi-
caliy from those self sacrificing and
devout toilers of other lands, who
have done so much for the cause of
Christianity. Our stock of "Mis-
sionaries" is an essentially different
breed, whose self-sacrificing efforts
in Hawaii nei have been TO enrich
themselves at the expense of the
poor natives, and who by hook or
by crook now seek TO run the whole
politics OF this country in accord
ance with their own sweet will. Our
next elections may disappoint their
fondest hopes. N.

THE FRIEND" REPEATS AN
ERROR,

In saying "Mr. Fernandez being
himself Catholic, so far as he was
not free-thinker,' the number of
the "Friend' just issued repeats an
error which others had committed
before, and which had been corrected
by correspondents in the columns
of the BULLETIN. 1t is q matter of
no consequence whether the late
learned and esteemed Judge For
nander was a Catholic or Protest
ant. We respected him in life for
his superior qualities OF head and
heart, and we revere his memory
now that he has joined the great
majority for the same reason,
whether he adhered to the Catholic
or the Protestant branch of the
Christian church. But all the same,
$50 far as he was not free
thinker" the late Judge was Pro-
testant. He was the son of a
Lutheran clergyman, and was him
self intended and educated for the
same profession, and certainly up to
within few years of his death
adhered 10 the same faith, $50 far
as he was not a free-thinker. Our
authority for this positive assertion
respecting the deceased gentleman's
religious training and belief, is he
himself. He so informed the writer.
And we certainly think he knew
better what was his religion than
the "Friend" or anybody else. Ac-
cording to his own admission, he
felt a special sympathy for the
Catholics of this country, although
not endorsing the distinctive tenets
of that church, because of the per-
secution which eliminated in the eX-
pulsion of the late Bishop Maigret
from the islands ; and there are other
Protestants, yet living here, whose
feelings run in the same channel.

CHINESE Immigration TO RUSSIA.

A correspondent writes under
date September oath: "The para
graph from the 'Nord' telegraphed
by your Brussels correspondent and
published in the Times to-day can
hardly be officially inspired, for
Russian officials who are in a posi-
ton to inspire the 'Nord' usually
know perfectly what they write
about, while the paragraphist in the
'Nord' is clearly not acquainted
with the conditions OF Chinese immi-
grafton either into Siberia or to
Australia. He thinks that in conse-
quence of the cessation of Chinese
immigration to America and Austria
liza it will so increase to Siberia as
to 'overwhelm the Scattered Sibe-
rian population and denationalize
the Asiatic frontiers of the empire. ,
The fact is, the two immigratons
have, and, owing to the vast dis
tances which separate their sources,
can have no effect whatever on each
other. The labor immigration which
troubles America and Australia has
its source in Hongkong, which draws
its supply from the fertile and popu-
Ious plains of the two most southern
provinces, Kwangtung and, in a
smaller degree, Fukfien. The immi-
grafton to Russia really originates
in Manchuria, perhaps 1900 to 81
600 miles away from Canton. The
Manchurian immigrants go origin
ally from the northern provinces of
Chilli and Shantung and settle over
the wide plains of Manchuria and
Mongolia, whence some of them
straggle across the frontier into the
valley of the Amour, where they
settle down to agriculture. If all
emigration from southern provinces
were stopped tomorrow, it is doubt
full whether a single Chinese the
more would cross the Russian
border. The story that Chinese
agents were studying the grounds in
Siberia in order TO direct a current
Of emigration there is absurd on the
face of it. Manchuria and Mongolia
which are Chinese possessions, are
capable Of holdingas many emigrants
as China is likely to send, and il
Chinese officials wanted to direct
emigration anywhere it would be to
these regions, not to Siberia. But

THE FRUIT TRADE OF CALIFORNIA.

The British Consul atSan Fran
cisco, in the course of report on
the agriculture of California, refers
to the enormous fruit trade of that
State. 1t produces every kind of
fruit that grows in semi-tropical
and temperate climate-among the
former are the orange, lemon, cit
ron, shaddock and other citrus
fruits, the olive, pomegranate, fig,
banana, apricot, nectarine, walnuts
and almonds, grapes, producing
wine and raisins; belonging to the
temperate zone are apples, pears,
plums, cherries peaches currants,
gooseberries, raspberres and straw
berries. The green-fruit trade Of
the State has increased enormously;
in 1887 the trade in green fruit with
the Eastern States amounted to
about So, 600, ,00O-pound weight.
The output of the various canneries
in 1886 amounted to about 80, ,000,-
900 pounds, including 659, $3.50 cases
of fruit, 203,500 of vegetables, and
22,5OO of jellies and jams. The
estimate for 1887 is 1872, 800 cases
of fruit, with an average of about
45 pounds of fruit to the case. Of
these, 100000 cases were peaches,
l75,500 apricots, 100000 pears,
10000 cherries, 10000 plums, 49,
900 grapes, $4,000 blackberries and
$4,000 each strawberries and goose
berries. The export of dried and
evaporated fruits and vegetables is
also enormous. Thus the export
of grapes treated in this way IN
1887 was 16,000,000 pounds, ap-
ricots 100000 pounds, honey
1,340,000 pounds, French prunes
1,750,000 pounds, walnuts 1900,
600 pounds, peaches, 100000,
grapes 100000 pounds, apples
(evaporated) 55O,000, peaches
(evaporated) 100000, almonds
100000 pounds, plums 100000
pounds and smaller quantities of
many other fruits. The growing of
grapes for raisins has proved most
profitable crop, with ready mar
ket for all that can be. made. Cal
ifornians believe that their raisin
crop will eventually drive the foreign
products from the markets of the
United States, and from the statis-
tics of tho trade the Consul is in
clined to believe that they will.
The wine production in 1887 was
100000 gallons; 100000 acres
of the State are planted with vines,
and not less than 80 per cent OF
these are foreign varieties. ''That
the improvement in the quality OF
wine produced is very marked there
can be no doubt, and the former
California wine, with its disagree
able, barsh, foxy taste, is fast be-
coming a thing of the past. This
is due to the importation of the best
varieties of foreign vines and q
more careful system of cultivation,
manufacture and preservation of the
wine" The number of sheep II
the State was from four to four and
a half millions; the wool clip in
1854 was 10000 pounds, and in
1876 it had reached Sc, ,550,9
pounds. After this it fell off, and
in 1887 was 81 ,5G4 ,23l pounds, but
with a great improvement in the
| uuality.- London Times.
