Europe on behalf of the natives of the
land. which European natives are at

missionary work in Africa, he says,

become deeply rooted in the country

The Business That Will Come Before

NASHVILLE, TENN. Aug. 30.-The extra
session of the forty-seventh general assem-
bly, of Tennessee will convene at noon to-
morrow. The chief business to come before
the body is the settling of the questions
that have grown out of the recent trouble
between tho miners and coavicts at Brice-
vile, referring to the abolition of the lease
system and to the rebuilding and charging
Of the state prison.
IMPORTANT MEASURES.
The lease system, as now operated, yields
the state 100000 per annum, aud il it is
abolished the tax rate of the state must be
increased. There is a strong sentiment
among the members Of the assembly against
a change.
The military laws are to be changed so as
to give the executive more power In emer-
gencies like that at Bricsvllle.
The criminal laws are to be revised, so as
to send fewer offenders to the penitentiary,
probably establishing whipping post for
mlsdemeanors, or establishing houses of
correction for youthful offenders.

see, North Mississippi. North Ark ansas and
North Alabama, to be issued tomorrow by
Hill. Fontaine 81 Co. will say:
Since our July report the cotton crop
throughout the section has sustained a
damage of X per cent, principally from
drought, shedding, rust and blight.
THE ESTIMATED YIELD.
"At this period the prospective yield for
the district indicates very slight decrease
from last year. This estimate is based on
no serious damage from worms and q very
late fill. Should frost appear earlier than
usual, the crop in this district would be cut
short at least one-third as the plant is fully
two weeks late, and the present weather is
not favorable for its ma turing.
picking throughout the district will not
become general until about Sept. 20, and in
Arkansas will be delayed until Oct l."
