 As the condition of the crops is al- ways a matter of interest to the public, your core Spondent will give your read CTS fair and unbiased account of them in this section. As is well known, all crops are late and backward this year, al least three weeks behind previous sea sons. This, together with the fact of the late dry and hot weather, has made the cotton plant unusually small for the time of year, and has put the corn a that stage of its growth where rains are needed and unless they come in few days will cut off the corn crop very ma terially. In the black lands, where they have had rains within the last three weeks, the corn and cotton are very promising; where they have not, the corn on uplnndS has been cut short at least one-half of an average crop. and rains cannot bring them out. Cotton is small. and unpromising, but with good seasons 1t oaD recover and make an average crop. On lowlands corn is suffering, but time- ly rains will bring it out and cotton is doing we'll and promises a fins yield. On the sandy lands the corn crop has been cut at least one-hsT short for want of rains and cotton /s very unpromising. but fhe recuperatiye powers of sand land are great, and it /; not too late for them to make fine crorls of cotton too late in Tome portions for corn, that is dried up and is past redemption. In some portions Of he upper part of Hale the farmers are waiting for a good season to blow up the old corn and plant a new crop The rains have been very partial, and con- fined to few localities. In the black lands south of Greensboro, probably one third of the land in cotton and corn has had good seasons, aI1d the result is'fine crops of both. The sandy lands have not fared so we'll and not one- en,h of the area has been blessed with good seasons. To sum up, our opinion is that there will not be made one-half crop of corn on sandy lands, whilst there may be a full crop of cotton it being too early to pre- dict the merit of this crop In black lands, there will probably be awo- thirds or three-fourths of an average corn crop. Of cotton, no one can speak advisedly at this time

DEATH OF COL, w. A. DANIEL
After along Illness He Passes Away at the Vernon Hotel-Brave Con
 federate Soldier.

Col. w A. Daniel died this morning at o'clock, after a long and lingering ill., ness.
 Col Daniels death was caused by a complication of diseases. He was first affected about a year ago wi.h kidney trouble; this developed so that finally, six weeks ago. he took to his bed never to rise again. Other complaints added to his sufferings. and these, with his ad- yanced age were more than his iron con- s;itutiOn could withs and.
 He lost consciousness at midnight Wednesday, and since that time until the end came lay gasping his life away with his eyes steadily fixed in a vacant up- ward stare.
 pr. tMiciDuffee was untiring in his efforts to bring relief in spite of the fact that he realized some time ago that there was no hope for permanent recovery.
 The colonels children, Gene, Lula and Mattie, did all that lay in their power and that love and affection dictated to make their fathers las- moments on earth as peaceable and contented- as pos sible.
 To the ladies and gentlemen at the Yer non hotel and other friends and rela lives too much praise cannot be given, ami the

PAgsING OF MR. BOf,Es.

The Taltad ga NewsR porter takes the following sensible view on the passing of Mir. Boes:
 Ex-Gov. Roies. of Iowa. is quoted as having abandoned free coinage at 16 to 1 as impossible for the democrats to Win in 1900 How happy we are rhat this man was not made the standlrd bearer of de- mocracy last year He said the principle was right then-is it wrong now? Is it ITO longer best for humanity? If he thinks SO, then he was false to his pro- fession last year. If it is all right, then why abandon it like a coward? Better be defeated a hundred times and be right than win wrong once. We believe that because free coinage is right. it will win, and are in favor of the fight being made over on the Chicago platform without the change of a letter. And we have as li.tle use for trimmer who would compro- mise with the gold standard element as we have for Benedict Arnold. We hope MT. Boise has been misquoted in this, but if he has forsaken US it will only make the free coinage ranks sta nd firmer and more determined as such weddings are weeded out of the party.

RECIPROCITY.

The,delegates from the Datin-Amerlcan countries now visiting us make free to say that they do not approve of the high protective tariff bill before congress. They say twill operate to still further turn the trade of their countries to England and others nations which have no protective tariff. They are inclined to the coun- tries across the water. anyway. as they get much of their capital from them, gst longer credits, and sell mostly to them. The heavy duties on h ,des and wool in the Dingley bin work especial hardship on the Argentine republic
 In reply to 'shese assertions the repub- licans say that the reciprocity clause in the tariff bill will remove all obstacles to trads. The power of lowering duties or removing them altoge lher is a great power to put In the hands of one man; but as SePagor Morgan said to Senator Pettus, it is not violative of the constitu- ton under a recent decision of -he su- prems court and the resident will again be invested with such authority as he was under the Mckinley bill. The Re- view of Reviews, referring to our trade with South American countries, says that they s.ll to us -hree times as much as we sell to them, and there is no danger of their picking a quarrel with us. Our commerce is now triangular-our cotton going to Liverpool, where it is made into cloth and sold to South America, and the money from these sales coming back to US in ihe purchase of American securi- ties. Oun trade with South America should be direct.

Cory's health would not permit her to be present. The time given her on the pro- gramme was acceptably filled by Grambs' orchestra. At the grand concert they gave the selections they played were as follows: Gems of stephen Fos.er," "A Sleigh Ride Party" Hearts and Flow ers," 'The Roof Garden,' "The Rose Dance"
 At D. m., after musical prelude by the orchestra, MT. Brooks was introduced for the second time this year. His first selection was 'qThe Foreigners at the Fair" giving in dialect very character isle opiniors of the various na-ionaii- tics concerning our Columbian Exposi- ton. This was followed by Jennie" short love poem. The next number was a great favorite with MT. Brooks Talla- dega audiences, "Old Abe" a story of a race for bride. Il is perhaps the most dra matic of Mir Brooks poems and re- cites it in a telling way. "The Irish Lads" who ''lied with their tongues, did not with their hearts" came nexa In this touching little poem MT. Brooks has proven that the rarity of Christian char ity is not so great after all. ''The Jealous Wife'' and '"The Pastors Wooing" fol lowed these. 1.-The Cobler's Soliloquy' gave ample scope for the display of Mir. Brooks powers as tragedian and a able paraL phrase of Richard IT., the Thirds famous speech. According to MT. Brooks, it should read as follows: "A horse, A horse! My kingdom for horse! If you can't bring me horse, bring me a bieycle!'
 "Jakey's Call to Preach" was the next number. MT. Brooks was requested to repeat "P.ckett's Charge at Gettysburg" Fms poem is destined to go down in his tory as 8 national song. His tribute to StoneN,all Jackson received prolonged ap- plause.

PULLING GOVERNOR THROUGH.

PULDrN7Cf GOVERNOR THROUGH.
 Urdsr the above caption the Mobile Register prints the following eommuni- cation which shows the drift of public opirion outside of few newspaper off, ces of the anti-democratic persuasion: To the Editor of the Register:
 An editorial 2graph in tha Register of yesterday emit ed this solemn and oninous thought: ''We doubt if even Gov. Johnston will pull through?" Now, why? Why should an old democratic organ be oppressed with a doubt as to the ability of deniocra tic governor to pull through the traditional second ,erm?7 The writer, like thousands of others, feels no such doubt. The people of Alabama are large ly, both on principle and for self-pio- lection, the steadfast adherents of the democratic party, and they are not go- ing to abandon a man who has proved Chfmself no; only an able exponent of de- mocracy, but also a faithful, fearless and efficient executive, who has brought to the discharge of his duties a knowledge of affairs and busiress methods that must necessarily influence official ser vice throughout the state to the advan.- age of tax payers. If there is one man by and uphold it is Gov. Johnston. Oth- CTS may feel the Registers disquie ing doubt, and all the more acutely if it tests upon the unsubs,antial ia brc of the wish that is proverbially regarded will possess their souls in patience they will in due time behold the doubt dispelled by the glorious sun of democratic victory.

History repeats itself. When the cap- itol was burned by the British, Admiral Cockburn rushed into the hall of the house of representatives, and took the speakers chair. With mock dignity he put this question: Shall this harbor of the Yankee democracy be burned?" and the British soldiers voted unanimous ly in the affirmative. Now Czar Reed asce nds the chair and puts the question: Shall the bulwark of democracy, free speech and the right to legislate, be de- stroyed?" and answering the question himself in the affirmative, he declares the vote unanimous, and adjourns from Mon- day to Thursday.

England and Spain have pursued differ ent policies toward their colonies. Eng land has allowed her colonies to govern themselves, and has guarded them from the encroachments of other nations. To do this she has built the largest navy in the world at tremendous cost. Her col onies have cost her more than she has received from them. On the other hand, Spain has cared nothing for her colonies except what she could get out of them. She has taxed them to bankruptcy. They have rebelled, one after another and now she has only Cuba and the Phillipine islands Soon she will have none.

Some of the imports that formerly paid revenue have been stopped. Until re- gently the imports of iron. steel, cotton manufactures, etc. paid a handsome rev enue; but now we are exporting instead of importing these articles. The republic ans must look to other articles for rev. enue. When the sugar beet industry is fully developed, and Hawaii and Cuba annexed, sugar will cease to pay a duty. The government must finally look to it's internal revenue, Income and inheritance tax, etc, for revenue, as England does.
