The Crops III Politics.

The prospect Of enormous

country. 1t means much to d
people whose staple articles OF
trade are agricultural products.
1t means money in the pockets
of all classes and conditions of
men and affords relief from the
Depressing dullnessath that now
characterizes all branches Of in
dustry. But to dispose OF our
great production of wheat, corn
and rye, our farmers must have
a foreign outlet, for they can.
produce more, under favorable
conditions of earth and atmos-'
phere, than all our sixty-fye
millions can consume. Thus q
short crop abroad, coupled with
abundance here, is hailed with
satisfaction, although it makes
other people pay more than
they usually do for their sup
ply of the prime necessities OF
life. aoia gf9 A

twentieth century will in all

ments Of this. Think of what
has come to pass within the
memory of living men,. The
miraculous results of steam
have already been superseded
by the more miraculous results
of electricity. Man has con-

Columbus Enquirer-Sun: For weeks
past the CHAMBERS question has been one OF
serious moment in Dawson. Citizens OF
that place sent to Columbus for a veter-
mary surgeon to look into The matter. he
surgeon went down, and, after examining
number OF head Ct stock, pronounced the
disease CHAMBERS Of a very malignant form.
He ordered twelve head Of the diseased
stock killed and mentioned others which ne
thought were diseased. The vetsrlnarys
experience at Da wsoa was published In the
EnqHirer-.Sua Immediately upon his re-
turn, and other papers also mentioned the
matter. The people of Dawson be-
selves more folly, applied to Com
missioner Of Agriculture Nesbitt to
investigate the trouble Commissioner
Nesbitt sent TO Dawson a DR.. Gray,
q veterinary, who pronounced the disease
nasal catarrh, and assured the people tnat
there was no CHAMBERS in that section. He
also made some very plain statements con-
corning the opinion of the Columbus veter-
mary. The people of Dawson became in
dignant that 1t should have been told to the
world that CYLINDERS existed there, and caused
TO be published harsh criticisms OF the sur
geon from this city. Shortly afterward a
veterinary firm Of considerable standing in
Atlanta denounced DR.. Gray, and stated
p lsitively that he was not a veterinary
Sincs that time more or less discussion has
been going on over the matter. Horses pro-

Rome Tribune. Late Friday afternoon
Julius Brown was arrested upon a true hill
found by the grand jury, charging him
with arson. He will bs tried Immediately
after the Mckee case has been disposed of.
The arrest caused quite sensation, follow
ing. as it did, so closely upon the verdict of
the jury in a suit brought by Mr. Brown
against Mr.. Abramson for SANDER. The
point in this suit was that Mr.. AhramsDn
had slandered Mr.. Brown by saying that he
had fired his own stock of goods. In the
trial Of the Islander case Abramson, the de-
PENDANT, plead jurisdiction, aud endeavore1
10 prove to the court that in saving that
Brown had fired his stock of goods nothing
but the truth was told. Iuterrogato-
ries from parties in New York
were introduced in the case. and
those witnesses testified directly that Brown
had told them in boastful manner that he
had set his store on fire and was "ahead of
the fire insurance company" These inter-
rogatories showed Browns character up in
a rather untayorable light in that the wit
nesses claimed that he was a bad man and
not to be trusted, etc, all of which had its
effect on the jury, of course. After being
out two days and nights the jury yesterday
morning sent down verdict in favor II
the defendant, Abramson, and the case was
at an end. 1t is said that Abramson made
Brown an offer Of 800. just before the case
went to the jury, TO withdraw the case,
which was refused, as Brown was bent on
carrying the matter through.
