The Experiment Farm Buildings Burned.
AT little after l O'Clock Yesterday
morning the farm buildings at the State
Experimental Station, about mile and
a quarter from the city, were discovered
to be on fire, and with the most of their
contents were soon destroyed. Captain
Gail!ard, the superintendent of the
station, was notified of the fire, but at
his arrival on the scene found the fire
under too great headway to be checked.
The fire was evidently of incendiary
origin, and as it had been started
at point directly in pront
Of the stalls where the stock
was tied, it was found impossible to
save any of the animals, and a horse, 4
COW and two mules perished in the
flames. The total loss is about $4,000,
on which, for some unaccountabe rea-
son, there was no insurance. The large
barn and scale building, both of which
were burned, were valued at 81, 200, the
machinery and farm implements dc.
stroyed amount to $1,000 in value, be-
sides 5000 worth of fertilizers in the
barn, $50 bushels of corn and Il large
lot Of forage was consumed. Only a
moving machine and one cart were
saved. Suspicion as to the parties who
set the fire is understood to rest on two
negroes, who have been employed on
the farm, but there is no positive cvl-
dence as yet as to their guilt. --CoiumJi,t

GET TOGETHER GREENBAcKERs.
A Call for National Convention Of the
Party Issued from WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, July 7.-Gcorge O. Jones
issued tonight call for National
Greenback Convention, closing as fol.
lows:
True Greenbackism amounts to reii-
gion with thousands OF honest men in
this country, all of whom must hereaf-
ter act with the National Greeuback
party or cease proclaiming themselves
Observation-Disclosures who favor dis
tinct American policy regarding its
finances, who believe that full legal
tender notes (greenbacks) issued by the
government for value received in pro-
noting the general welfare constitute
the money which marks our advancing
civilization, make the best money the
world ever saw and should become the
permanent circulating medium of
the American people, the life
of whose free government they
saved, and that a party bearing their
name should be perpetuated to keep
these great truths constantly before the
people. Those who believe with the
prophet of old that "money answereth
all things" and that no other reform
can be wisely considered nor honestly
determined until the great economic
wrongs brought about by bad legislation
have been corrected and the money
question forever settled in the interest
Of the whole people; those who agree
with these views and are willing to act
in accordance with the spirit of the
resolution passed by the Cont
mental Congress in 1918, viz, not
to eat, drink, wear nor use anything
manufactured in Great Britain, nor
after one year trade with any one who
deals in goods brought here under the
British flag; those who will pledge their
sacred honor to hereafter work faith
fully to build up the National Greenback
party and to carry out its principles, OBJ
jects and purposes, are requested to
meet in their Respccts,s, States and Con
7 1gressioriaI ulSIrlcts on Or before Wednes
day, September 4, 1899, and appoint one
delegate and one alternate to attend the
National Greenback Convention hereto
fore called to meet at Cincinnati, Ohio
Thursday, September II, 1889. II
States and Congressional districts where
our party is not now organized, those
WHO approve of this call are requested
to come and participate in the proceed
| ings of the convention.

KING COTTON.
AN IMPROVEMENT IN TEE GROW
ING CROP THE PAST MONTH.
The Crop Later. by Week or Two Than
That Of Last Year-The Caterpillar and
Boil Worm Make Their Appearance in
Mississippi and Texas.

WASHINGTON, July 10.-The June re-
portsof the statistician of the Department
of Agriculture shows IN improvement
in the condition of cotton during the
past month. Early planted areas are
well advanced. That which was planted
in May, and that which had not ger
minated before the season Of drought,
is late and small. There was frost
nearly throughout the cotton belt
on the last Of May and
first of June, which prevented gcrmina-
ton, already long delayed, and arrested
the growth of plants. There is general
complaint Of the effects of dry and
cool season continuing through May and
into June in delaying termination and
growth and favoring prevalence Of lice.
West OF the Mississippi, especially in
Texas, the season is considered a wet
one, and June rains, continuing till the
day of report, began at an earlier date
than in the Atlantic States. Their effect
has been to improve the stand, which
was very defective, and advance the
growth of the plant. The preva-
lence of rains left the fields some
what grassy on the first Of July,
condition which few days of sun
shine since May have remedied,
except on plantations having too large
an area for the number Of ploughs
available. The crop was generally kept
clean during period OF drought.
The wide variation in the date of
termination has had the effect to make
the crop later by week or two than
that of 1888, and stard is not so good.
Some plants came up in April and some
Late in June.
The percentages of condition by States
are as follow: Virginia SO, North Caro-
lima s., South Carolina S4, Georgia Sc,
Florida 80, Alabama 81, Mississippi 81,
Louisiana 90, Texas 90, Arkansas SO,
Tennessee 50; general average s7.6.
The caterpillar and boil worm haze
appeared in Texas and Louisiana and
in some parts of Mississippi. The set ].
ting Of lights and catching OF the miller
that produces the cotton worm have
