otcro County,s Fruit Prospects.

Last Thursday the ENTERPRISE drove
out to Crowley & Sons orchard and nur-
sery, accompanied by Edward p. Gallup,
OF Denver. A more handsome orchard
does not exist in Colorado. And it is not
only thing Of beauty but the trees will
bear close examination for evidence
of fruit, We first visited the plum or
chard, which contains large number of
varieties, all Of which were heavily load
cd with fruit, some already bending be-
meath the burden, OF partially formed
plums. Some trees not over two feet high
were crowded with plums. The cherry
trees bore the same signs Of an abundant
harvest. The grape vines were not 30
fully laden but the orchard will have a
large crop to sell, "unless all signs fail"
The apple prospect was never better, all
varieties of trees containing rs much or
more fruit than they ought. The april
cots and nectarines both showed some
good specimens of these rare fruits. The
peach trees were well loaded and the
promise is for q most generous crop.
Strawberries were seen in great quantities
and the crop of this best of berries will be
very large. Gooseberries and other small
fruits will yield largely. Crowley & Son
have just completed large and very fine
fruit celler in which to pack fruit in boxes
forsmarket. The fruit will be picked and
at once hurried into this extensive refrig-
orator where it will be arranged ready
for shipment.
There is no department of this large
orchard but that promises abundant re-
turns for the careful labor bestowed on
it. And the fruit prospects on Crowley
& Sons place is but sample of what
may be seen on many others in the val
ley. When the thousands visit us Sept
9th, for the usual watermelon feast we'll
have an abundance of fruit to sandwich
with the melons.

Alfalfa is now beginning to bloom
and cutting will begin this week. Some
little has already been cut as we noticed
quite lot in the swath on Mcdaniel &
Davis ranch, Nepesta, last Saturday.
This early beginning and late ending OF
the alfalfa harvest is puzller to eastern
people. County Commissioner Vroman,
Of Catlin, last year engaged Missourian
to work for him. His duty was cutting
alfalfa. He had no sooner finished q
large field than he was set to work at the
same corner he began at few weeks be-
fore. This second cutting in the stack
and he was sent back to the same start
ing point to cut the field over again.
just before the third crop was fully har-
vested he told Mr., Vroman that he
guessed he'd resign-that he liked work,
but this thing OF having hay harvest last
all through the year pleased him too
well.
1t is refreshing to newspaper re-
porter to strike mortal now and then,
whose false modesty does not keep him
from telling the reporter a bit of news,
which necessitates bringing his own name
into the columns Of paper. Such men
deserve good paper to read, because
they are willing to contribute their mite
towards assisting the editor to publish a
good paper.

Benefits of DemOeracV.

In speech at Atlanta, Ca, re-
Gently, Hon. Chas F. Crisp, speaker
of the House of Representatives,
used the following language:
While we have not done what we
hoped to do, we have done more to
redress the wrongs Of the people,
we have done more for their relief
than was ever done by any party
in the same time in any country UNI
der the sun. These are bold words,
yet hold myself ready at all times
to defend them. Coming into
power at the time of a panic, when
business was at a standstill, when
labor was unemployed, when our
Treasury was empty, with courage
and fidelity we entered upon a strug-
gle with the enemies of the people;
we emerged from the struggle vic
toriOus in this;
We have repealed the Mckinley
law
We have reduced taxation.
We have made living cheaper.
We have made all money taxable.
We have taxed surplus incomes.
We have restored freedom of
elections.
We have reduced public expendi-
lures.
We have declared undying hostil-
ity to all trusts and mOnopolies or
ganized for the oppression of the
people.
On these foundations, we ''build
our houses" on these issues we go
before the people. For them We
have ''fought the good fight"
to them we have kept the faith, and
of them we have no fear.

SEVERAL public meetings
have been held at which res
olutions were passed con-
demning the murder OF
the six colofed men near Mil
lington, in Shelby County,
last week. The BULLETIN
does not by any means con-
done the perpetrators Of the
crime, but had the officers OF
the law been as deligent
in ferreting out those who
so ruthlessly destroyed thou
sands of dollars worth OF
property, as in having justice
melted out to the murderers,
the massacre would probably
have been averted.

THAT NEW YORK SPEECH.
An H0nOYed TenheSSeGn Clues
the True Facts.

Our people have heard much
about Col. Patterson's New York
speech. Hundreds of copies pur-
porting to be correct report of the
speech, embodied in remarks made
by Hon. John Allen, of Mississippi,
have been distributed broadcast
throughout Hardeman County.
This garbled report has been, and is
being used as a campaign document
to injure Col. Patterson. The fol
lowing correspondence explains it's
self, and is sufficient to forever set
at rest the vile and slanderous char.
ges made against Col. Patterson in
regard to the speech:
All the old Confederate soldiers
who followed the fortunes of that
great soldier, n. b. Forrest, re
member DIR. J. B. COwan, the CHIEF
surgeon under that officer. He is ;
brave man and one whose word il
unimpeachable. DIR. COwan answer
ers the charges made against Col
Patterson relative to speech made
in New York some months ago whel
Col. Patterson replied to Hewitt
the ex-Meyor of New York.
Some time ago, Maj. G. Y. Ram
baut, who heard the garbled repor
of Col. Pa terson's speech, wrote t.
his old war cOmrade, DIR. CoWan
and received two letters. One wa
written at once and the other few
days later.

parts of his speech were reported,
and often sentences destroying the
sense and meaning and giving pur-
port entirely adverse to that intend
ed by the speaker, and that would
have been shown and readily under
stood had the speech been fully re-
ported. The club is large democratic
club, to which many Southerners be-
long. In talking with members of
the club afterward Southern men),
they spoke in the highest terms of
Col. Patterson's speech, and not a
word of objection did / hear from
these men. That his defense of South
ern men and the South against the
foul ISLANDERS of Hewitt was master
ly and satisfactory to them. /

at the Southern association, and a
more slanderous libel on the brain of
the South was never uttered. / was
an invited guest, and could say
nothing, but never wanted to an
swer man SO bad in my life.
Col. Patterson was answering this
outrageous attack on the South, and
members of the club said to me that
he was equal to the occasion. Mind
you these men were Sotherners-
men who are proud of the South,
and are ready at all times to claim
their nativity, and are jealous of
honor, etc. These men speak in
the highest terms of Col. Patter-
sons speech and the Colonel him
self was warmly received and eulO-
gized by the club. Col. Patterson
expressed to me his regrets that he
had not written his speech, so that
it could have been published from
manuscript, and disclose the injus-
tice done him by the garbled report.
| regret very much that this as a
political trick should be logged in,
to the canvass to do any injury to a
man who is as true to the interest OF
the South and to his people as any
man in the South. 1t is unfair, I'M
just and injurious to man too no

ONE of the reasons assign.
ed by those who believe that
the parity of the two metals
can be preserved at a coin
age ratio of16 to 1, is that the
balance Of the trade between
England and the United
States is in favor of the lat
ter, and for that reason more
gold would be received from
than is paid to England.
That is very good reasoning,
for the balance of trade is
usually in favor of the United
States. But there is a very
important consideration
which it seems is lost sight
of or a fact which such rea-
soners are wholly ignorant of,
and that is a vast amount Of
money that has been used
in the development of this
country was borrowed from
England. So. great is the
sum that the interest thereon
Offset any year a large part
of the trade balance in our
favor. The Courier Journal
which is edited by Mr.. Wat
tcrson, says: with all our
spunky American indepen-
dence, there are some points
on which the people of the
United States can not afford
to be Indifferent to public
opinion in Europe, or reck-
less as to the effect to their
methods i'm commerce and f.
nance. The attitude of the
London market towards our
securities has an immediate
effect on values at the New
York Exchange. Under
such circumstances, with our
need of foreign capital for
further development, likely
to continue great in spite
of what has been accom-
plished, it is of interest to
know how Europe is now
E4garding American invest
4i7eifts There is no loom ia

doubt that only a short
time ago, British confidence
in American securities was at
a low ebb. This was explain
ed during the early days of
the panic as a consequence
Of the dubious financial poll
icy of our government"
These are facts tersely express
sed by one of the ablest and
most brilliant of Journalists.
In the repeal of the Sher-
man law. the dubious policy
of this government, as to fl
nance, no longer continued
and the restoration of conf
dence was the result. By
that act the government de-
clared in favor of a sound and
flexible currency, and since
then London has been dealing
freely in American securities.
Should the views of the cheap
money advocates prevail this
country would be subjected tC
another panic similar to that
of 1898.
