In the last few dnSs information regard
ing the growing corn crop has been re-
ceived at the department OF agriculture.
There are indications OF q big yield IL
has been impossible until now TO get an
accurate idea of tho prospects. The July
reports arc therefore OF unusual impor-
tanco. There ere eIuwing in the United
States 81 900, 600 acres OF corn. In many
of the leading corn states the crop is in
splendid condition. Everywhere excepting
Texas il gives encouraging promise.
The official method of the government
for communicating the state of growing
crops to the public Is to take n basis of 100
as "a reasonable standard of excellence.
Averages in excess are exceptionally good,
and averages below 100 become less en-
couraging tho lower thoy go. With this
explanation the statements of the officials
of the agricultural department become
plain to those outside the board OF trade.
The reports just received justify tho fol-
lowing estimates of the average condition
of the crop in the leading corn states, which
are given alongside tho averages for July,

ago is 92. against so. 8 In July, 1898.
In Texas there is general complaint Of
dry, hot weather and hot winds, SO that
cornfelds arc parchcd In Indiana, al
though the moisture has been excessive in
some places, the crop has n fine condition.
Complaints of wet weather arc received
also from Iowa and Missouri, but this does
not seem to have had serious effects. In
Illinois the stalks are reported in fine con-
dition and are unusually forward, giving
promise Of "a big and early harvest.
Kansas, rs usual, comes forward ns one
of the greatest corn states of tho Union.
il the dry, hot winds of August and Sep
tcmbcr 90 not parch the stalks, this state
will produce wonderful crop. The spring
was wet in Kansas, and corn has had n
rapid growth, TO that IL will be- better nblo

ruin the crop.
The extent of tho corn crop Of the Unit
cd States this year Is about 1000, 0OC acres

$4,000, 600 acres. In 1894 IL was only 76,-

There is no worse delusion and few
that are SO dangerous as the idea that
the government can make times better
by increasing tho circulating medium.
No matter how much money there may
be in the country, no matter how much
gold and silver the government may
coin or how much paper money it may
issue. it will not go into the channels
of industry and trade if confidence be
wanting Atlanta Journal.

 It seems most timely that the Indus- trial School for Colored. Girls and the Afro-mill are being inaugurated at about the same time. It Is good prognosis that the negro realizes the necessity of embracing practical industrial, rather than literary, education, in order to avail himself of the various avenues opening up on all sides for skilled labor. More than this, 1t is opening his eyes to the fact that if he would win he must be equipped for competition, for it is the age when the Attest survive, and there will be no consideration shown to stub- born ignorance or blundering incapacity either for black or white contestants.

RAILWAY NEWS AND GOSSIP

! MT. E. Schryver, who for the past sev- eral months has been division freight agent of the Alabama Great Southern here, will, it is said. go with the Cincin- nati Southern on the 1st of February as assistant general freight agent, with headquarters in Chattanooga. MT. Schry- yer, during his short residence in this city, made many friends, and his depar- ture from Birmingham will occasion genuine regret, especially among rail road men, by whom he was best known. While his Birmingham friends will re- gret to part with him they rejoice in his we'll deserved promotion, or rather his appointment to position of so much importance.
 It is not known here who will succeed him as division freight agent of the Ala bama Great Southern.
 Home-Seekers Coming.
 Today reduced rates from all points in the northwest to all points in middle Kentucky, middle and west Tennessee, Alabama, Florida and southwest Georgia are effective. A large number of agents have been hard at work for several weeks presenting the advantages of the south to the people of the northwest, and it is expected that quite a large number of people will take advantage of the low rates and come south to inspect the coun- try. Those coming as far south as Bir- mingham will arrive here Thursday or Friday and some of them will stop off here for few days.
 New Chief of Detectives.
 John Harlan of Bowling Green, stock claim agent of the Louisville and Nash vile railroad, has been made chief of de- tectives of that road. He succeeds c. N. Warner who goes to St. Louis to accept a position in the railway business there. MT. Harlan takes charge of his office February l.

THAT G0tD BRICK MAN Still in Texas With Chief Tom
 Mcdonald. FARMER DOZENS RETURNED Says He Fully Identified His Man-0ur Chief Is Detained by Possible Texas
 Red Tape.

The "gold brick man" isn't here yet, although his victim. MT. William Dob bins, has returned and says that he has fully identified the man.
 MT. Dobbins says that when he reached Houston the sheriff presented six men to him and he at once picked out his man. He says he can identify him by MT. Eu- gene Enslen and by the liveryman who gave them the buggy as soon as Chief Mcdonald reaches the city with the pris- Oner MT. Dobbins says that when they reached Houston the requistion papers from Alabama were delayed and Chief Mcdonald took the prisoner to Austin Tex, for acquisitions from the governor of Texas, with notifications with a Hous- ton judge to have the man back in Hous- ton by Wednesday, the day of the hear ing of the habeas corpus proceedings.
 MT. Dobbins then came on to Birming- ham, but he says he is confident Govern or Oates requisition met Chief McDon- aid in good season, and that he will re- turn with the man.
 Up to a late hour last night Capt Will Weir, acting chief of police, had not heard from Chief Mcdonald. He is ex- pected back by Friday at the farthest.
 Sundays Houston Post contained the following account of the arrest:
 Sheriff Albert Erickson was in his of flee yesterday, having returned from Austin. whither he went with Officer Me- Donald of Birmingham, Ala, to get the governor to accept the requisition made by the governor of Alabama for Steve Pratt, who is wanted in that state for a "gold brick" scheme The Alabama off cer remained in Austin because the requi- sition papers from Alabama had not ar rived, and 1t was impossible for him to do anything until they do arrive.
 The sheriff has been served with notice to have Pratt in Galveston on Wednes- day in order that Judge Gavin may in- quire into the legality of his imprson- ment through the medium of a writ of habeas corpus.
 Sheriff Erichson was asked what he ,ould do if the Alabama officer appeared here on Monday and presented the requi. sition papers, properly signed by Gov ernor Culberson, for the delivery of Pratt
 The sheriff frankly said that he did not know what he would do, but that if such condition arose he would get legal advice on the subject.
