ing made for and against IL.
IN the senate. on the 4th, the bill making
appropriation to enforce the Chinese exclusion
act was reported from the committee on for

Disapproved the Purchase.

The fact that Gov. Turney disapproved
the purchase of the Franklin County
land selected by the penitentiary COM
mission as suitable and we'll adapted
place on which to erect the main prison
of the State penitentiary has sgiven room
for more speculation. The Governor
rejected the proposition on the ground
that the price was exorbitant, and that
a greedy syndicate was making q good
thing out of the State.
The amount named In the report of
the committee was 100000 for 1900
acres, or about $40 per acre. The main
point in the Governors rejection was
that too much money was being paid to
an intervening party, or middle men" 7"
and he did not propose to let idle specu-
lators get their hands in the States
pocket.
It must be remembered, however, that
his excellency does not attach any blame
to the commission, as they were guided
or misguided, as the case may be, by
eminent authorities on the value OF
Franklin County land.
Now the esyndicate comes forward with
another and quite different proposition.
They propose to convey to the State the
1900 acres of the 1,756 acre tract for the
total cost of the whole thing, giving
them profit of 256 acres of land. The
syndicate is probably in the same situa-
tion as the man who drew the elephant,
for they say further that should the Gov
ernor think this profit exorbitant they
will turn the 1856 acres over to the
State at actual cost.
The Governor has written to the
Franklin County land syndicate that he
has no power to accept an offer from
them. They must refer the matter to
the penitentiary committee.
1t is not believed he will approve any
contract giving prison to Franklin
County.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS.
The Crops.

NASHVILLE, Oct 4-The weather dur
ing the past week has been generally
favorable to the farmer. Light showers
have occurred at intervals which kept
the ground in excellent condition, but
were at no time heavy enough to seri-
ously retard farm work. Low tempera-
ture prevailed during the first few days
of the week and light frosts occurred in
portions of Obion County on the morn
ing of September 26, but no damage was
done to vegetation of any kind.
Wheat sowing has now become quite
general, but it is the general verdict
that the acreage will be greatly les
sened this fall on account of the low
prices brought by the present crop.
Some winter oats have also been sown.
Cotton picking is in progress. The
crop is fairly good in some localities,
but on the whole it will fall far below
the average. In many places cotton has
suffered from the effects Of rust and the
recent rains.
Peanuts are almost complete failure
in the main belt. The vines are full Of
empty shells. Over half of the crop was
destroyed by the drouth and now much
damage is being done by the rains.
Most of the early tobacco has been cut
and saved. 1t was rather poor in quail
ity, having ripened prematurely. In
the northeastern counties the tobacco is
fairly good, but in the central portion
of the State it is very poor in quality,
and the yield is much below the normal.
There is still large portion of the crop
in the field, which will require about
two weeks, free from frost, to enable 1t
to mature. If no damaging frosts occur
this will be very good.
Pastures are very fine and stock is
generally in excellent health and condi-
tion. Hog cholera has made its appear
ance in portions of Obion and Cooke
counties. 1t seems to be worse in the
latter county. Some fatal disease has
broken out among the cattle in the
southern portion of Hickman County.
Turnips have made but little progress
during the past week; they are gener-
ally rather small. Late sweet potatoes
are not good and their yield will fall
about go per cent below the average.
Sorghum making has continued during
the week, and while some complain OF
the quantity and quality, the general
average is about normal.

BRUNSWICK. Ga, Oct. THE weather

Cases are piling up, and the yellow fe-
yer is rapidly on the increase.
An authority says: 81 think the dis
ease of yellow fever is very light, but

seen within the last forty-eight hours
that the epidemic will largely increase
and the rate of mortality go upward -
Thirty-fve new cases of yellow fever
and one death were officially reported
here to-day. Five persons were dis
charged. The patient who died was

THE barn burners have begun opera
tions in the Pinson community, in the
southern part Of Madison County. Their
latest outrage was to burn the barn and
stables, pair Of mules, fifty barrels of
corn and considerable amount of hay
and fodder belonging to Dick Davis, a
quiet citizen, who was away from home.
He was not insured. One or two tough
citizens are suspected. The people Of
the community are on the alert, and IL
any more burnings occur it is likely the
rascals will be caught and vigorously
dealt with.

vent inferior doctors from practicing.

NO CASE AGAINST BENNETT.
The Admissions of His Granddaughter
Result In His Discharge.

Justices Frischkorn and Vincent held an
examination at the county courthouse
Yesterday in the continued case OF William
Bennett, charged with the ruin of his
granddaughter, Matte Newman. Messrs.
Ii. NJ. Smith and W. NJ. Justis represented
the aged prisoner
The only witnesses examined were Con-
stable Samuels and the girl. The former
simply told the story of Benefits arrest,
which is familiar TO DISPATCH readers, and
stated that the girl never preferred any
charges against her grandfather, but IN
answer to questions propOunded by him.
self and DR.. Thompson admitted that lm-
proper relations had existed between her
and her grandfather.
The girls face showed very plainly the
effects OF her recent illness. She Is well
developed, rather above medium size. and
is quite good-looking. She wore hight
dress with dark coat and hat. Her ap-
pearance indicated that she was under the
influence of some strong opiate or drug
and she did not seem to realize at Gil
where she was. She showed no signs OF
nervousness or fright. but had far-away
sort of look.
Every question asked BY Mr.. Sands had
to be repeated several times before an
answer was given, and then 1t was only III
monosyllsbles. Her evidence showed that
the case was not one in which the law
could reach her grandfather and he was
discharged.
Two mlsdemeanor cross warrants sworn
out by the father against Charles Bennett
and the latter against the former were dis
missed.
While Bennett is liberated from prison
the unfortunate occurrence has divided
the family The old man goes TO live with
his son John, who has stood firmly by his
father since the day Of his arrest. Mrs.
Bennett will live with her son Charles.
