TO MOVE THE COTTON CROP.

Calhoun Times Owing to a stringency of
oney matters, Calhoun, like most every 9TH
err town and city in the state. will adopt
local currency in order that the cotton crop
may be successfully handled
Gainesville Eagle: There is no longer 4
question as to whether there will be money to
move the cotton crop not. The cotton crop
will move just as fast as the farmers can bring
it to Gainesville, and they vii get cash for it,
too.
Macon News: There is no trouble whatever
in moving the cotton crop. 1t don't take 4
man ten minutes to turn his cotton into cold
about one-fourth what they should be. There
is plenty of money here TO pay for all the
cotton that will be brought.
Gwinnett Herald: The towns in middle Geor-
ga are boaSting of their first bale. Our crop
is a little later in this section of the state,
but from the way it is opening the fieecy sta
pie will soon be on the market Let the
cotton men make arrangements to buy and
pay cash for it. This will relieve the coun-
try to considerable extent.
Talhotton New Era: A proposition to issue
scrip based on cotton stored in the alliance
warehouse at this place to be used as money
in home transactions has been the subject of
some discussion amoGa our citizens recently
and the same has been mentioned 10 us by
interested parties. We do not how any
would be injured by such a plan, nor
why any should oppose it. but that it would
result in relieving the strain of the times to
any considerable extent is a matter Of doubt.
Fort Valley Leader: We hear it rumored
that several county alliances considering
the plan OF issuing. warehouse certificates
after the manner of the city banks to pay
off their debts and hold their cotton. The
plan most favoraby considered is to put
their cotton in warehouse and insure it,
and issue certificates, say TO the amount of
So to $50 bale, payable in four to six
months. against it. Some say if combina-
ton of city banks can issue certificates based
their promise only TO pay, there is no
reason why combination Of farmers cannot
issue better ones their cotton that is al
ways worth than all the promises of
banks.

A Constitution Correspondent Tells OF inc
Corn Cotton and Tobacco There.


Onal;1,a Ala. September 7.-(Special.)--
The experiment station Of the Auburn ana
Mechanical college at Auburn, Ala, SIX
miles from Opelika, is proving OF vas. oSn
eft to the farmers Of this ana aoJollln7
states. Doon
of this CITY, The Constitution correspondent
visited the station. The visitors were taken
in charge by Colonel A. j. Bondurant anu
his able assistants, Messrs. Clayton ana
Cory, who took special pains to snow the
entire farm, giving explicit explaha Vioh"
of all the experiments being made.
The agricultural experiment station eA-
hibits many interesting improvements. SeV-
eraa new buildings have been added. Inc
new cattle barn is large, commodlous ana
handsome building, and the new Tobacco
barn is of the most approved modern pal
tern. Under it's present management the
station has made wonderful progress ana
it's fame has been spread abroad. It's buile-
tins command the most respectful ATTENTION
north and south and are copied and com
mented upon in the agricultural publications.
throughout the country. Bondurant the
able agrculturist in charge, is cultured
gentleman, and a farmer of many years
successful experience. He is the right man
in the right place in this particular Juncture
in the agricultural affairs of the people OF
Alabama. Since the production of cotton
has ceased to be profitable, farmers are
looking for some other money crop to sub
stitute for the dethroned king. Tobacco
seems to promise larger returns than any
other if it can be successfully produced.
Colonel Bondurant has settled the ques-
ton. Having been for many years to-
bacco planter in Virginia, he is thoroughly
familiar with the subject, and he declares
his conviction that in most parts Of Ala
bama and Georgia both soil and climate
are admirably adapted to the production
of good quality of tobacco. The result of
his work at the station this year corrobo-
rates his statement. A crop of to-
bacco embracing almost all grades
from the cigar wrapper to the
ordinary plug, excellent i'll quality
and quantity, has been produced and cured
by the Snow process.
The size of the tobacco barn is 16x20
and will cure about 1000 pounds at a
curing, the process taking about seven
days. The Snow process differs from the
old method of curing in the stack, in that
the leaves are stripped from the stalk.
Colonel Bondurant's experiments with the
fourteen varieties of tobacco grown at the
station have proved a success in every par
ticular. A tobacco barn, exactly similar to
the one at Auburn, can be built for from
$3.50 to $500 and will, in one season, cure
successfully the products of from ten to
twelve acres. giving a net yield of cured to-
bacco of about 10000 pounds.
Mr.. Cory has twenty different kinds of
cotton. All samples are treated and fertll-
lied alike. In like manner he is experiment.
ing with twenty samples of corn, as to yield,
quantity and quality.

JEW FISH.

The apparatus used in the fisheries is well
illustrated by means Of models and full-sized
specimens of vessels, boats and canoes, to-
gether with many Of the fittings and instru-
ments associated with them, the pounds. senes,
weirs, pot seines, casting nets, dip nets, trolls
and dredges used for taking fish, oysters, CLAIMS
and other objects.
The lines used by commercial fishermen are
to be found in great variety, from the sinew
and grass lines Of the Indians and Esquimaux
to the best quality Of silk lines for the capture
of salmon trout. bass and other game fish
These are supplemented by large exhibits Of
rods, reels, hooks, &c, many Of which have
been lent to the commission by prominent
manufacturers. The collection Of artificial
flies made by Chas. F. Orvis Of Manchester
VI: numbers nearly 1000 specimens and is
ISOLATED with photographs Of fishing waters and
angling scenes arranged by Mrs. Mary Orvis
Marbury. Messrs. Abbey and Imbric Of New
York lent splendid assortment Of high-priced
rods, reels, lines. flies and other appliances for
angling. The Montague City Rod Company Of
Massachusetts forwarded eightv-seven rods,
representing the best work Of four factories be-
longing to that firm. Mr.. harrington Of
Lowell, Mass, contributed beautiful case of
artificial flies Of his own manufacture, showing
his unique method OF protecting the smells as
well as his style Of mounting the half skin of
the brook trout on q nodded slab Of wood. Two
striking features Of this exhibit are the boats
fully equipped for the pelagic capture Of the
fur seal and for the whale fisheries For this
portion Of the exhibit also Mr.. Henry W. Elliott
lent the commission his extensive series of
water color pictures Of seal life and Alaskan
scenery, and from DR.. G.. Brown Goode was
obtained . fine series Of pictures Of game fish,
accompanying his work published by the Serb
ners in 1880.
One principal object in this portion Of the
exhibit has been to show the variation in fish
ing apparatus from the crudest forms in use
among primitive people to the most recent de-
vices Of scientific anglers. The subject IL like
wise further illustrated by means Of enlarged
photographs and cartoons as well % statistical
charts.

A Funny Occurrence.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
A very funny occurrence took place recently
in southwestern Oregon, near the Del Norte
county line. The Crescent City Record pub
fishes each week batch Of items taken from
its files Of thirty-eight years ago. short
time since the story Of the famous Indian
massacre of settlers on the klamath
river was recounted. A subscriber to the
Record living at Gold Beach, Oregon, read the
blood-curdling story, but neglected to notice
that it was an event that occurred almost
forty years ago. Fancying that the mas
sacre had but just taken place and there
was danger Of general outbreak he at once
proceeded to rouse the neighborhood. Notices
were posted, a public meeting called and
company of volunteers organized to proceed
at once to take the Held against the blood
thirsty Indians. Finally the idea struck some
one that it would be well to communicate with
Crescent City and ascertain the exact state Of
affairs. The fact was then developed that tho
originator of the movement was nearly four
decades behind in his history.

A Story of Live Msstodonss

From the Juneau Free Press
The stickeen Indians positively assert that
within the last five wears they have frequently
seen animals which, from the descriptions givens
must be mastodons. Last spring, while cut
hunting, one Of these Indians came across q
series of large tracks, each the size Of the bots
tom Of a salt barrel, sunk deep in the moss. He
followed the curious trail for some miles,
finally coming out in full view Of his game. A
class these Indians are the bravest Of hunters,
but the proportions OF this new species OF game
filed the hunter with terror, and he took To-
swift and immediate flight He described the
creature as being large as post tracer .

tusks, and a mouth large enough 20 swallow

animal was undoubtedly OF the same species as
those whose bones and tusks lie all over tins

hunters have told OF seeing these monsttrs
browsing on the herbs up along the river gives
a certain probability 10 the story. Over on
