Corn or otton ?

In recent interview, W. B. s. Davis, of Polk county, Ga, said: In 1859 planted twenty-five acres in corn and fifteen acres in cotton. From the twen- ty-five acres in corn I sold S700 worth and had plenty left to do me, and more shuclts and fodder than l needed. The fifteen acres in cotton yielded 5000 pounds of lint, which I sold for 10 cents per pound, realizing s8o0, with bag ging, ties and toll to come out besides, did thirty-nine days more work in the cotton than the corn decided then to leave off the cotton and raise corn to sell for all 1 could get for 1t on credit, and the people to whom l have sold corn have paid my taxes and store accounts ever since, and have made little lap over to lend out or buy some thing with. bought one ton of guano for a renter in 1868, and paid the cash for it when put it on the wagon, and one sack In 1888.

Money for Moving tho Cotton Crop.

Says special from Washington; The treasurer of the United States is now in communication with New York bankers for the purpose of arranging transfers of money deposited in the sub-treasury in New York to New Or leans, where 1t can be used in moving the cotton crop. The amount required to move the cotton crop runs up into the millions, and the New York bank CTS who advance the money for this purpose desire to avoid the time, ex- pense and risk involved in sending the large amounts needed to New Orleans. They therefore, for some years, have arranged with the treasury to deposit their money at the sub treasury in New York, and the treasury depart ment then places the amount of de- posit to their credit in the subtreas ury at New Orleans It will be some days yet before the amount needed will be known.

Project for an Airline.

Tacoma, May 27.-The project of
building an airline broad-gauge rail
road between Tacoma and Seattle has
been revived by Henry BUGGY, who
will start at once to secure the right
of-way and land subsidies. He expects
then to float bonds. The line would
be thirty miles long, a saving of twelve
miles over the present route. The
grade would be l per cent, and the cost
of building and equipment 100000
The Tacoma and Seattle Airline rail-
road was incorporated five years ago to
build the line. The depression caused
a postponement of the project.

THE INCOME TAX DECISION.
Declaration That 1t Has Also Killed the
Internal Revenue Laws.

Knoxville, Tenn, May pa. - The
startling announcement is made by
Colonel Noble Smithson, Knoxville
attorney, who has much practice before
the United States supreme court, that
the decision on the income tax has also
killed the internal revenues laws. In
carefully prepared opinion, Colonel
Smithson says:
Justice Fuller in his opinion says
the constitution divides federal taxa
ton into two classes. First, direct
taxes; second, imposts and excises-and
that direct taxes must be apportloned
among the several states i'll proportion
to their representation III the house OF
representatives. Apparently the logl-
cal result of this opinion is that all fed
eral taxes, except duties on imports
Chat is to say, taxes collected under
tariff laws must be apportioned among
the states according to their representa-
ton in the house of representatives.
An act of August 81, 1894 (the Wilson
bilD, section As, provides there shall be
levied and collected on all distilled
SDlTlUS, cJC., At ldA VI o. Ou CdOll pioOA
gallon; the statutes of the United
States levy a tax Of cents pound on
tobacco, ETC. 1t seems clear, accord
ing to this opinion of the chief JUS
tice, that these are direct taxes on per-
sonal property, and not being appor-
toned among the several states ac-
cording to their representation, they
are unconstitutional and void.
eff this view is correct, the supreme
court has not only wiped out the in
come tax but has practically repealed
the internal revenue as it affects tobac-
co, whisky, brandy, etc. If this con-
struction of the opinion be correct, all
direct taxes, including these on real
and personal property, must be levied
according to representation, so that the
rich people of New York, Massachusetts
and other Eastern states will pay no
more tax per capita than the poor peo-
pie of the Western and Southern states.
OF course this is not to be thought OF.
The result would be that practically all
revenues for the support OF the govern
ment must be raised by duties on i'm
ports, and instead of reducing the tar
if it will necessarily increase it ma
terially."

WHY Huntington Goes to Europe.

New York, May 25.-Two of the
reasons for G. p Huntington's trip
abroad are said to be the sale of por-
ton of the new Southern Pacific bonds
under the $50, 900, 900 which was au-
thorized last year for various purposes,
including the funding of the floating
debt, and a personal conference with
the representatives of the Panama canal
interest which own the Panama rail
road. In addition to these things
Huntington, as already mentioned,
will confer with the Englishmen about
Central Pacific matters and try to reach
satisfactory understanding for the
extension of interest ON bonds and the
dividends on stocks.

NEW OVERLAND LINE
The Union Pacific May Reach
San Francisco.
WOULD BREAK THE MONOPOLY
scheme by Which the Oregon Pacific
May Become a Link in Another
TranscontinentaI Road.

San Francisco, May 24.-Within a
few months another transcOntinental
railway, the Union Pacific system
will have terminus on the bay OF San
Francisco. This will break a railroad
monopoly that has held the city i'll an
iron grip ever since the first railroad
reached this section of the Pacific coast.
After years of patient efforts and many
disappointments, the Union Pacific sys-
tenn has effected an arrangement by
which it can reach San Francisco bay.
Tiburon will be its terminal, and an
increased ferry service between this
city and that point will be one of the
benefits to this part of the state.
This will be accomplished by con-
Meeting link, the Oregon Central q
Eastern railway, formerly the Oregon
Pacific, uniting the Union with the
San Francisco & North Pacific railway,
commonly called the Donahue broad
gauge line. The latter is to extend its
line from Ukiah to Covelo The Ore
gon road now extends to Corvallis and
Yaquina bay, by that state. The con-
Meeting road will follow down the coast,
and ioin the Donahue system.

CONDITION OF WHEAT.
Reports From Three Points Indicate an
Average Crop.


New York, May 25.-The World
tomorrow will publish telegraphic re-
ports from nearly 800 points III the
wheat belt showing the exact condl-
ton of the crop. 1t says:
These reports show that ON the vast
wheat farms of the Northwest III Min
nesota and the Dakotas, the wheat crop
is not only uninjured, but actually III
better than the average condition.
Never better, is frequent expression
of the farmers of that section. From
the Southern section of the wheat belt
there comes a different story. Kansas
reports indicate less than half crop.
In Illinois, Indiana and Ohio chinch-
bugs. rust and other ills have aided
the frost i'll doing extensive damage to
wheat Missouri and Michigan also
report heavy losses. On the Pacific
slope, which is becoming one OF the
largest wheat-producing sections i'll the
country, all reports agree that the crop
is above the average Taking the
whole wheat belt, together with the
Pacific slope, it seems clear from these
reports that the present prospects for at
least an average crop are favorable.
Favorable conditions and an in
creased crop in the vast fields OF the
Northwest will easily make up for the
lessened crop in the diminished wheat
area of the Central states.
