Mr.. EDIFoR:-That was a grand
speech Bro. DardeH delivered last
Thursday; it was rare, good, great,
noble-words fail me; I can't do our
gifted brother justice in describing it.
I paid strict attention, was perfectly
charmed; didn't take my eyes off Of
him more than once or twice, and that
was just a moment, to look at the
bright eyed, handsome farmer boys
there; can't blame me for that, can
you? Not if you could see some of
them that were there. Now to return
to Bro. Darden: He is just the man

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 25.-State Sugar
Inspector Kellogg has presented to the
State Agricultural Department his an
nual report regarding the sugar industry,
which has developed SO rapidly during
the past few years. His report is of the
most encouraging nature as to the future.
He says that there can be no longer any
doubt as to the practicability of the
manufacture of sugar from Kansas
sorghum.
''In the dry and undeveloped portions
of the State where corn, wheat and
other cereals are partial or total fail
ure sorghum will always flourish" says
Inspector kellogg, and continuing he
says: THE southern tier of counties in
the State as far west as the west line
of Barber County is at the present
time the cream of the sugar
district. Sorghum with good
sugar content has been cultivated for
ten consecutive years without single
failure in Rice County, though some
miles west of this it has frequently been
damaged and of little value for making
sugar. The possibilities for the success

opened new field of inquiry, and it
will take at least one or two seasons be-
fore the sugar district can be clearly
defined. Vast tracts Of land in the
western part of the State are lying idle,

cultural purposes than in the eastern
portion, and in time may produce the

A NAVAL TYRANT.

The Experience Of Omcers and Crew Of the
War Snip Enterprise With . Tyranioal
Captain.
NEW YORK, Feb. 28-The Tribune
says: ''Not since the days when the
brig Sommers came INTO the port of
New York after Captain McKinzie had
hanged Spencer, the son of The Secre-
tary of the Navy. has ship of war in
time of peace arrived here that has beeh
the object of so much general interest
rs the Enterprise, which came in yes
terday after cruise of two years and
seven months on the European station.
Commander Bowman H. McCalla is
her commanding officer and this is his
first command afoat. 1t will be MEM
orable one in naval history. The vessel
left the navy yard in Brooklyn with a
we'll selected crew and officers picked
out by Captain McCalla himself. She
returned yesterday, the most I'M
happy ship probably that ever
came into port During the cruise
assertions had been frequent and
nearly every officer in the ward room
had been under suspension one or many
times. Life aboard the Enterprise for
officers and men was described by one Of
her ships company yesterday as having
been ore continual round Of from hell
to breakfast and back again
among the incidents of the cruise,
which will illustrate the state Of affairs
on board. is as follows:
"When the ship was at Christina a
fireman named Walker got drunk, came
on board and was put in irons Captain
McCalla had him brought to the mast.
When the officer of the deck questioned
the man. Walker replied that he was
drunk and glad Of it. Thereupon Cap
tain McCalla ordered the officer of the
deck to cut the man down with his
sword. The officer refused. Captain
McCalla going into the cabin buckled on
his sword and had the man brought
on deck again. The man was brought
up in irons and the Captain, drawing
his sword, cut him down, deluging
the deck with blood and so severely in
juring the man that the surgeon had to
be Immediately summoned to attend to
his wounds. A hasty bed of tarpaulins
was rugged upon the deck and on this
the man lay for some time. The MEM
bers of the crew declare that he was
there for day or two, but it is hardly
probable unless there was some good
reason for it, which has not yet been
made public. When Captain McCalla
makes his report to the authorities at
Washington this will doubtless all be
explained.
"The whole history of the complaints
of officers and men on board the Enter
prise and the various unusual incidents
of the cruise would fill volume. Many
may be without foundation and others
rest deep on the truth. When an inves-
tigation takes place the whole truth
will probably come out"

Daily tobacco leaf-chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1890-1895, 1890-07-21

During the month of June more
arrests were made by the police, and
more convictions were made than in
any month since last January.
The number of arrests was 80, and
the amount in fines of the same was
$4,000. The cases that ran the total
up to over an average were the four
negroes who were convicted of as
saulting Thos. Frech, they being
fined $500 each. This of course
was an extra case and one which will
not have parallel perhaps in year,
Taking the $2O8.00, the total of their
fines, from the total amount in fines
for the month, there remain only
$141.00 for the thirty.one remaining
cases. July is not coming up to an
average. There have only been four
cases so far tried by the recorder this
month with total of $1,000 in fines.
The question now arises, does the
city need larger police force a?
The LEAF CHRONICLE thinks not.

JAMES a. HALL ARRESTED.
He IL Under Arrest at Memphis for ForK-
ing Checks on the Dyersburg Bank.

Jas. A. Hall, son of A. r.. Hall, is
IN trouble at Memphis. He was ar
rested there Saturday evening
charged with forgery and is now in
Jail.
The Memphis Commercial gives
the facts as follows:
He entered the store OF Nj. Gavin
& Co., and telling Mr.. Gavin who he
was, representing himself as the
junior member of the firm of A. r
Halt & Son, Of Dyersburg, he pur-
chased bill of $3.50, for which he
gave in payment a check on the
Dyer county bank for $85, receiving
the difference in cash from the book
keeper. One Of the members of the
firm came in shortly afterward, and
knowing nothing of the members of
the firm Of A r.. Hall & Son, insti-
tuted a search for Hall. Fortunately
he was found, and while it was not
their policy to offend a customer, as
they believed him to be, yet they
prevailed upon him to give up the
money, which he did, with the ex-
ception of 81 60, which he had spent
during the interval.
He worked the same game on the
Dean-Dilly Coffee & Spice Company.
From them he purchased q bill
amounting to 1905, giving them a
check for the amount.
He was arrested on a telegram
firm Dyersburg and locked up.
When he was searched his pockets
produced rich find. Two more
checks, payable TO M. Gavin & Co.,
for $65 90 and one to the order of
Hill, Fontaine & Co., for $66 90; also
number of old checks drawn in
1886, payable to different parties and
signed by A. R. Hall & Son, on the
Farmers and Merchants Bank OF
this place.
