The head of PULASKI negro. stuck
through the hole of q canvas, on which

With the negro's head in the heart,

even Speaker Crisp, Major A. o. Bacon

The statemen didn't shuck their

THEY WANT MORE MEMBERS.
Southern Freigh A AssOciation Discusses
Plans of Organization.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-The Southern
Freight Association held a meeting here
to day. 1t is understood that they dis
cussed the plans of organizing the new
association.
They want few more lines before the
organization is completed. 1t was the
sentiment of the members present to con-
tinue under the rules of the old associa-
ton for another month, by which time
they hope to get more members and then
formally organize.
1t was learned that the meeting had
not succeeded in reaching an agreement.
The committee appointed to solicit sig
natures from lines not then represented,
presented it's report, indicating that
many of the lines would refuse to sign
an agreement.
The lines in question included the
Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis
the Western and Atlantic, Louisville and
Nashville, the Georgia Railroad, the
Mallory Line Steamers, the Georgia
Southern and Florida, East and West of

THE CROPS OF THE COUNTRY.
The Abundant Rains of the Week have
Greatly Improved Them.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 27.-The
Weather Bureau, in its report of crop
conditions for the week ended August
26th, says:
In the States of the central Mississippi
and lower, Missouri valley and upper lake
region, the abundant rains Of the week
have improved pasturage and crops,
especially late corn, which is now ma
turing rapidly.
The eastern portion of the cotton belt
has suffered further from excessive rain
fall, and complaints of rust and shed
ding are numerous. An improvement,
however, is reported from Alabama, Ar
kansas and Oklahoma. In Tennessee
cot on is b ginning to suffer from
drought, and rains would prove bene-
fetal in Arkansas and Texas. The crop
is generally late and but little picking
has yet been done.
Tobacco has suffered seriously from
drought during the week, especially in
Maryland, Virginia and Ohio, and COM
plants of premature ripening are quite
general.

From thirty million pounds sterling,
the production of gold had fallen to nine
teen millions in twenty years, and the
arts consumed more than half of this.
Though it had been discarded by Eng
land, Germany and the United States,
silver bullion still buys of the staples of
life what 1t did when admitted to coin
age. The speaker said men of his faith
were called crazy by the gold bugs. If
this were true all the world, except Eng
land, was crazy till 1873. England was
crazy till 1916. The majority of the
United Estates Senate was crazy; the
majority of the Democratic party and
the majority of the American people
were the same.
We had been compared to Mexico
The comparison, Senator Jarvis held,
was not fair. The governments were
different, the climate different, the civil
ization different. But it would be un-
welcome to the gold bugs to compare
Mexico now with Mexico ten years ago,
the United States now and the United
States ten years ago. The panic of 1898
was conspiracy, and our return now
from the pestilence of that year was

appeal to the descendants of. the men

Mr.. Bower followed him, taking the
same ground and worked the crowd up
to the highest pitch of enthusiasm. His
speech was on different line from that
of Ser ator Jarvis. He was in humor-
GUS and happy vein. His description of
the crying need of divorce proceedings
between the Pops and RAIDS on the
ground of Republican falsity to the mar
riage VOW was ludicrous in the extreme.

The appointment of ex-senator
Ransom as Minister to Mexico was made
public to-day.
Mr.. Ransom was notified of his ap
pointment Saturday evening just before
he left for his home in Weldon. He has
been making preparations for the last
week to return to Mexico, having been
assured that he would be appointed. The
commission bears date August "a.
This ends a legal complication by
which Minister Ransom. after several
months service at his post at the City of
Mexico, was decided ineligible TO fill the
Office to which he had been appointed
prior to the expiration of his term as
United States Senator. 1t was held by
the Treasury accounting officers that he
fell within Constitutional inhibiti n
against the appointment of Congress
men to offices created, or whose emolu-
ments had been increased during their
service in Congress. 1t has been gener-
ally understood that Mr.. Ransom would
be promptly reappointed, and the slight
delay which has occurred presumably
has been for the purpose of definitely
ascertaining that there was no me e
legal or other obstacles in the way Of
remaining Mr. Ransom to the Mexicsn
mission.
Mr.. Ransom will return to Washing
ton tonight to make further prepara-
tions, and will leave within few days
if his health permits. he will be accom-
panied by Thos. Z. Ransom, his son.
Minister Ransom will probably return to
North Carolina again later in the fall to
take part in the campaign.
His health has improved rapidly since
his arrival at home last June, until Il,
now says he was never in better physical
condition in his life.
Auditor Holcomb's decision holds that
the money already paid to Gen. Ransom
as minister can not be re collected by the
government. The minister is therefore
out only his salary from the 15t. Of July
until the oath. of August.

THE KILLING OF QUANTREL.
The Death of Capt. Simon HersIy
Brings the Facts to Light

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Aug. 27.-Capt.
Simon Hersly, man who served with
distinction under Gen. Forrest, died at
the home of his brother, near Roger, this
State, yesterday.
Intimate friends have known for some
time that he knew of the killing of the
noted Confederate, Quantrel, but the
facts did not become generally known
until after his death. He was
sent as a recruiting officer by Gen
eral Forrest into Kentucky, and as
Quantrel was returning from a raid
he stopped in the vicinity of Bardstown
and tegan depredations. Hersly at the
request of citizens there waited on Guam
trel and asked him to desist, but Guam
trel would not listen to the demand. He
was warned to make no more raids on
the property of Kentucky Confederates
and the two men separated.
1t was in the spring of 1865, and
Quantrel became desperate. He made
another raid, and, during an engage
ment was killed. 1t had been generally
believed that Quantrel was killed by
Federal troops.
