oARoL1NA's NEW CRISIS.

amman proposes TO Ln6 Law
az It Never Was Enforced Before.
Columbia, S. c., July 3O.-H. H. Brun-
son, the attorney for Silver, the man &C
cused Of selling liquor without license,
and whom Justice Pope refused to release
last week on a writ Of habeas corpus, has
served notice of an appeal from the de-
cision of Justice Pope TO the whole su-
preme court. Mr.. Brunson alleges
error in the decision of Justice Pope
because he did not hold that the act Of
1898 was identical with the act of 1892,
and had been passed upon by the su-
preme court; and, second, that Justice
Pope erred in not declaring the act of
1898 unconstitutional, under both the con-
stitution of the state and of the United
States
The supreme court adjourned to-day
and Justice MCGOWAN retires from the
bench. his place being occupied by the
former lieutenant governor, Z. B. Gary,
who was elected last December. This
places two Tillmanites on the supreme
bench and one conservative.
This move of the attorney for BrunSou
is supposed to be at the instance of the
administration which wishes to have the
color of law for reviving the dispensary
law and for its enforcement The su-
preme court will be asked to meet at
once and decide the matter. IL is prob
able that this will be done.
The dispensaries throughout this state
will open on Wednesday, but it is thought
that the laws enforcement will not be
stringent until the court renders its de-
cision. If the decision is favora BILE, as it
is supposed it will be, Gov Tillman prom
lses to enforce the law as it was never
enforced before

NELL ON The COTTON CROP
he Predicts a Yield Of 100000
Bales.

Texas to Turn Out 2,45o.ooo of the
Total and the other States the Re-
naming $3.50, 900 Bales-His Fig
ures Based on an Acreage of 81
Ooo, 900 Acres and Allowing an In
crease of 10 Per Cent. in Yield
Over Last Year.
New Orleans, July 30-H. NJ Neill, the
well known cotton statistician, has
issued a circular letter. which will
be published tomorrow estimat-
ing the cotton acreage for the
growing crop as 2l,000.000 acres
and the probable out-turn of the
growing cotton crop, if only ten per cent.
better yield per acre than last year, as at
least 5, 900, 900 bales In this he allows
2.45O 900 for Texas and 6,45O,OOO bales for
all the other states. In putting forth
these figures, Mr.. Neill quail
fes them by saying that 1t is
impossible at this early date
to forecast the growing crop with
certainty. and that while this suggestion
of the crop is given as a conservative cal
culation of probabilities, it must not be
forgotten that the promise to-day is equal
or superior to any previous crop in every
state, and that if each state should realize
q product equal to its previous best crop
we should have an average production for
the country of PIG pounds per acre, which
on q, 100000 acres would give a crop Of
about 1900, 900 bales. OF course much
may occur TO blight this brilliant pros
peot, but the conditions at present, he
saws, are so good that nothing but
calamity, such as with perfect conditions
at so late period rarely occurs, could
bring tho crop down to even so low
figure as S,500,000 bales.
Mr.. Neill figures that on the basis of an
5000, 900 crop, allowing American spin
ners 10 take 800, 900 more in 1894-5 than
the past year, and with European con-
sumption and supply from other countries
the same as during the current year, there
will be left over to be added to the visible
supply more than ,000, 600 bales excess by
Sept. /, 1895, compared to Sept. !, 1894,
unless such a decline in prices should
occur as would stimulate consumption
and induce spinners to carry very large
invisible stocks.

sAToLLps WAR ON RUM.
Archbishop Corrigan Will Enforce tn,
Monsignor's Decision.


New York, July 30.-The Wocld will to-
morrow say Archbishop Corrigan has
written a very important letter to the
editor of the Wine and Spirit Gazette, in
which he makes an authoritative
statement with regard to the
decision of Mgr Satolli affecting
Roman Catholic liquor dealers. The
archbshop's letter was called forth
by an editorial recently published in
the Gazette, which says of Mgr. Satollrs
decision: 1t will not be enforced in the
cities of the country. Fully two-thirds of
the retail liquor dealers of the country
are Roman Catholics. Some of these are
liberal contributors to church funds. We
appreciate fully the delicate position in
which Archbishop Corrigan and the
other bishops of the Catholic church
in this country are placed by the decree
of the papal delegate. We voice the SEN
timents of large majority of the liquor
dealers of this city and Brooklyn in say
ing: We dare Archbishop Corrigan to
enforce in letter and in spirit the decree
against the liquor traffic just issued by
Mgr, Satolli, the papal delegate. Let the
arch bishop do it and watch the conse-
quences'
The archbishop's letter is in his own
handwriting. In it he says: In reply to
your expressed wish, have the honor to
say that Loyalty accept the principles
laid down by Mgr Satolli,
both in their spirit and to the letter
More than this, no Catholic can refuse to
accept them.
AS to the fear of the consequences, I
have yet, thank God to learn what fear is
in the discharge Of my duty
Please remem Der, however, that ac-
Ceptance of principles is not to be con-
founded with the blind application of the
same on all occasions and under all cir
CumstanCeS. 49,
A COMMENT ON THE LETTER.
The editor of the Gazette, P. j. Smith
has this to say about the arch bishops let
ter: The answer does not entirely and
sqUarely meet the issue. 1t is not a ques-
ton OF accepting a principle laid down by
the head of the church, but of
the courage to carry out in let
ter and in spirit the principles
iust proclaimed by the papal delegate
IN the face of seemingly adverse public
sentiment. The issue is viii the arch
bishop give orders TO refuse admission to
Roman Catholic societies TO any one en-
gagged either as principal or agent in the
manufacture or sale OF Intoxicating
liquors, and will he instruct the C leroy 10
deny the rights and privileges of the
church to liquor dealers who sell on Sun
dayN
The declaration Of the archbishop
seems 10 Justify the conclusion that in
the discharge of his duty he will enforce
these principles, although he does not say
SO in his letter in distinct terms Future
DEVELOPMENTS will show how far this con-
clusion is justified. 90

RALLY OF PoPULIsTs.
Watson, Hines, Morton and Bishop at
a Meeting at Waycross.

Meeting at Waycross.
Waycross, Ga, July 3O-Tom Watson,
Judge Hines, Thomas Morton and S. l..
Bishop were all here to-day. 1t was the
day they had been looking for to show
their strength. 1t is needless to add that
they did it. OF 500 men, women and
children, including fifty negroes, there
were about 100 third partyites. They
came from Ware, Pierce, Cinch, Coffee,
Charlton, Wayne and Appling
greeting compared with the asser-
tion of some Jealous third partyites that
there would be 5000 populists here to-day.
AS the democrats began to arrive this
morning it was observed that among them
were the usual number of candidates, but
the populists were backward IN coming.
Judge Hines was, at 10 o'clock this
morning, introduced to an audience that
was, as has been previously stated, almost
wholly democratic He no doubt sup
posed that his hearers were all populists,
but he was soon convinced that this was
a mistake. During the speech, the popu-
lists watched the democrats to see if the
judge was making progress There was
no cheering. The democrats were talking
quietly and the third partyites were dis
posed to keep quiet.
After Judge Hines speech Watson
made a speech He was cheered wildly
by the populists 1t was the same old cry
of Watson two years ago, when he was
showed under by Black. He abused the
democrats. His witty sayings and humor-
Gus anecdotes ELECTED much cheering, but
his discussion of the issues of the day did
not appeal TO the audience.
1t is safe TO say that Judge Hines made
no converts here to-day.

GEoRG1A's CONVENTION.
Endorsement of Cleveland's Financial
Policy the Main Issue.

Atlanta, Ca, July 3O.-Lawysrs and
well known figures in politics from all
parts Of the state have begun to arrive
for the meeting of the State Bar Associa-
ton tomorrow and the state convention
on Thursday. The attendance on the
bar association meeting will be unusually
large on account of the state convention
following so closely, most OF the lawyers
being interested in that event.
Col. Atkinson came up from Newman
to-day. He will have headquarters at
the Kimball house. 1t is understood that
Capt William Howard of Oglethorpe
county will place Col. Atkinson's name
in nomination before the convention.
The absorbing question in relation to
the convention is, what will be done
about indorsing the administration. AS
the clans gather and this question is dis
cussed, it becomes more and
more apparent that the issue
will be squarely made and squarely
met in the convention. Both sides appear
to be confident and consequently are out
spoken in favor of taking an unequivocal
position. Those who stand with the ad-
ministration, and they appear to be in the
majority so far, will not be satisfied with
anything half way or ambiguous. They
say they want only an honest and fair ex-
preston, as the sentiment of the party,
confident that the administration de-
serves and will receive the commentator
of the convention.
Those who differ with the policy of the
administration also say they are willing
to have only the outspoken sentiment of
the people. They concede Mr. Cleve-
lands integrity of purpose, but want the
convention to go on record candidly as to
an Endorsement of his financial views and
his construction of the Chicago platform.

GEoRGIA's TAX DIGEST.
A Slump of From $25, 900, 900 to $780,.
100000 Looked for This Year.

100000 Looked for This Year.
Atlanta, Ca, July 3O.-Tax digests
from fifty-one counties received at the
controller generals Office show that there
will be gigantic slump in taxable val
ues in Georgia this year. The fifty-one
counties that have made their returns
show an aggregate falling off of 81, 800, 600.
Fourout of the tifty-one counties show a
slight increase. None of the larger coun-
ties have yet returned their digests. Ac-
cording to the estimate of Capt. c. M Fur
low, digest clerk of the the controller
generals Office, the total falling off in
coo and $50, 00O 600. This is based on a
careful study of the figures. Last year
the digests showed a falling off of nearly
$l2, 100000. This was charged partly to
the operation, or rather the abolition of
the county boards of equalization, which
had increased the returns largely in 1892
This year, however, there is nothing to
attribute the slump to except the gen
eral depression of the times. Last year
the amount of taxable property returned
TO the state was in round numbers $780,
coo, 900 against 1852. 000,00 for 1892 Up
to 1898 there had been a steady increase
in returns for some years back, of over
100000 year, In 1890, however, the in
crease was S30, 000,0 The big slump
this year will affect the revenue of the
state considerably. The legislature will
have to scale appropriations and ex-
penseS to meet it.

The fruit growers of this section have
reason to be delighted at the result Of
their crop. The grape crop has been very
large, ana the prices have been exception

along with grapes from other sections at
an advance of from 10 to p per cent above
their competitors. This is said to be due
