NESBITTTO THE FARMERS
THE COMMISSIONER ISSUES his
ANNUAL ADDRESS.

Planters Warned Not to Plant Too Big
a Crop Next Yesr-Plenty or Food
Supplies Should Be Put In First.
Spectators Manipulating Prices.
ATLANTA, GA, Dec. 5.-.R. T. Nesbitt,
state commissioner of agriculture, has
issued his annual address to the farmers of
the state reviewing the crop situation and
advising as to the future. The commits
sioner discusses the cotton crop as follows:
LET me warn you not to be led into the
mistake of raising too much cotton. Don't
be tempted to leave the only true plan to
success, that is plenty of food supplies and
then all the cotton you can cultivate with
out having to borrow more than it is worth
TO make it. The present condition of the
cotton market is sufficient proof Of the I'M
Alterable laws of supply and demand.
OVER PRODUCTION POSSIBLE.
THE theory that we cannot produce too
much cotton is entirely exploded by the ex-
per1ences of 1891 and 1892. In 1891 we pro-
duced the biggest crop on record, and the
price fell far below the cost Of production,
and many farmers, more especially those
who bought their provisions, are yet strug
Cling to pay off the obligations incurred in
duced acreage and unpropitious seasons the
yield has fallen below the average, and
now that this fact is established
beyond controversy we see the price bound
ing up in spite of speculative effort to de-
press it, and notwithstanding the fact that
we have more money in circulation than
we had one year ago, when there was q
popular theory that scarcity of money and
underconsumption, and not overproduction,
depressed the market and was the cause Of
che disastrously low price.
sPECULAToRs REAP THE HARVEST
"Had the majority of farmers, by pur-
suing a sound agricultural policy, been able
20 hold this years crop, that is, the crop Of
1892, they would now be reaping the golden
harvest over which the spectators are re-
1oicing. Ii is true that there are farmers
who, by raising an abundance of provi-
sions, reducing the cotton area and by care
lessening the COST are to-day reaping the
benefit from their wise forethought,
but, unfortunately, they are the ex-
ception. The bulk of the cotton has
gone out of the hands of the farmers.
and they are compelled TO see their crop,
the result Of much anxious thought end
weary toll, enriching others instead of
themselves. Let me urge you In planning
your crops for 1898 to remember that when
we glut the markets of the world we have
to accept such prices as the buyer sees ft to
give, but when we have our supplies and a
cotton crop just sufficient to meet the de-
mands OK trade, we can, co a certain ex~
tent, dictate the price Don't allow your
selves to be allured into false methods by
the present high price OF cotton.

A THUNDER STORM ar GRIFFIN.
Considerable Damage Done to the
Electric Light Plant.

Considerable Damage Done to the
Electric Light Plant.
GRIFFIN. Ga, Dec. Sat an early hour
last night Griffin was visited by fearful
thunder and rain storm. The lightning
flashes were the most binding ever wit
messed, while the display resembled more
that Of a fancy pyrotechnic display than
anything ever witnessed here. For several
seconds after each fash fiery sparkles
fingered along the track of the zigZag
illumination of the black clouds like the
sparks emanating from a meteoric shower.
These flashes we're grand, out they were
dealing out destruction. Fortunately no
lives we're lost, but this afternoon report
comes that the electric light plant suffered
TO a considerable extent, probable $500 to
$500, as their lines lamps and poles in the
southern part of the city and at Camp
Northen are torn down, burned out and
shattered into smithereens. At the water
works dog belonging to ID. McWilliams,
the engineer WAS knocked senseless, while
McWilliams was severely shocked and
blinded by the shock which did the damage
to the electric lights.

KILLING A eoo-PoUND BEAR.
Shots Were Futile and a Knife Was
Finally Resorted To.
From the San francisco Examiner.

From the San francisco Examiner.
1t was neaE Cooks Inlet, and few miles
from Kenai The party had sailed up the
inlet to beach famous rs being a wallow-
ing spot for both the black and brown
made for the night in the edge of some
timber near the beach in question. Bacon
and moose steaks we're fried, and the
savory scents that were scattered through
the adjacent spruces seemed TO attract
wild animals Of many kinds. Wolves
could be heard snarling close by, aud the
"wouf" Of bear now ana then came from
the brush, so near at hand as to make the
hunters reach for their rifles
At the earliest morning one OF the party
was slicing bacon when he heard q heavy
football. and, looking over his shoulder,
saw a big, brown bear coming toward him
and only few feet away. The hunter
yelled, and one Of the party grabbed a rite
and began shooting The bear was creased
by a ball and star ted for the only enemy In
sight, the man with the knife. Two or three
jumps brought Bruin within distance, and
he rripped the fleeing hunter by blow that
would have broken his back il delivered at
q little closer range. The hupter jumped 90
his feet, knife still in hand, and finding the
open-mouthed "bar" Just at hand rushed on
1t, cutting and slashing as he went,
sat upon its launches while it tried to parry
the desperate cuts that the frightened San
Franciscan was dealing. Each lucky stroke
opened q bloody cash, but none reached the
''life." Another of the party stood few
feet away pouring lead from his Winchester
into the bear at risk to the life of the man :,
but the bullets might have been birdshot
for all the effect the, seemed to have. The
man was firing, but still cut and stabbed
furiously until the bear CHANGED to raise its
head.
Then lucky plunge of the knife entered
Its point well within the neck Of the beast
and split the great artery. The blood poured
in strong stream and the bear ran away
i'll an effort to escape. The bullets and tue
cuts had done their work, however, and
within a few yards the big cinnamon fell to
its knees, and after tearing the grassy earth
in its death struggle was still The knife
wielder was none the worse for his danger
GUS battle, except that his clothing was torn
to shreds and a few deep scratches scanned
his face and neck. The carcass Of the bear,
cleaned and skinned. weighed more than
900 pounds, and the many slits in the hide
showed how eagerly the knife had been used.

citing Primary.

ORLANDO, FLA. Dec. 5.-One Of the
most exciting primary elections ever held
in this part Of the state took place on Fri
day last. There had been a struggle, prin-
cipally with regard to the treasurership Of
the city, the rival candidates representing
each of the two national banks. More feel
ing was aroused than has before been de-
veloped among democrats. When the vote
was counted Saturday morning the in
spectors reported that there had been nine
more votes cast than the number of regis
tered voters allowed. Apart from the in
terest this evoked to the contestants was
the fact that a large amount OF money,
some say as high as So, 1000, had been bet on
the result, and unless an amicable agree
ment is reached any amount of bad feeling
and lawsuits may result. To-day the dem
ocratic executive committee have been ex-
aiming witnesses and have not yet reached
a conclusion. In the meantime everybody
is at fever heat. The election takes place

A TARPON TUSSLG,
The Fish Escapes From the Angler,
But is Nipped by Shark.

The Fish Escapes From the Angler,
But is Nipped by Shark.
At Sarasota, Fla. 1 hooked tarpon, says
a writer in the american Angler. It took
me thirty minutes to work him to a sand
fat alongside of the boat, ready for the gaff.
My boatman, being a mer boy and this the
fl rst tarpon he saw within his reach, wes
very nervous and put the gsff In the fish's
gills instead of the throat. The fish had its
head toward the stern, and when he felt the
gah swung around TO the bow, nearly
pulling the boy overheard, getting my line
around the handle Of the gatf.
Johnnie pressed the handle on the side Of
the boat and forced the fish's head about
two feet out Of the water. Seeing the peril
GUS situation of affairs, threw my rod in
the boat and foolishly taking snood in one
hand and the gaff in the other told Johnnie
to take the shark hook, which he had in the
boat, aud put 1t in the fish; but before this
could be done the fish made a supreme effort
70 tree himself throwing the gaff out, break
ing my line and slowly swimming away,
leaving me with feeling of disappoint-
ment that only fisherman can appreciate,
and that, too, after having waited four
weeks for a tarpon.
Johnnie, that fish ia badly hurt" said /,
I'VE will ind him on the bank tomorrow If
shark doesn't find him before" and slow
ly proceeded to put my tackle In shape for
another trial.
'Look at that big shark; he is after some~
thing white" exclaimed Johnnie. Sure
enough, huge shark with his dorsal fin six
inches out Of water met my gaze. Take
up the anchor and we will see what's the
trouble" said l. Strange to say when we
reached the spot the shark moved slowly
away and we found our tarpon on his side,
still alive, minus his tail and large piece
from bis back, bitten out by the shark. We
boated and took him home and he meas
ured 5 feet 10 inches and weighed 30
pounds in bis mutilated shape
