WHEAT GROWING.
An interesting Discussion and Timely Sug-
gestions by Correspondent.

An Interesting Discussion and Tin ely Sug
gestions by a Correspondent.
EDITOR News: While in Dawson a
few weeks ago [ was approached by a
leading citizen and Intercepted as to
how | would like to Join a wheat grow
ing club to encourage wheat growing
in Terrell county. [ listened while he
talked in the interest of this buried in
dustry, and left him thinking of the
time when the south raised everything
in abundance necessary to feed either
man or beast. | also thought Of the
stacks Of money that are annually
spent in the purchase Of corn, oats,
hay, bacon, lard and -four, all Of which
at one time were proftably raised in
this section.
To the above items of expense to
the southern farmer | found that |
would have TO add the cost of horses.
wagons, buggies, clothing, professional
services, taxes and in fact every thing
that calls for money; all of which must
come out of our cotton crop. as we
/ raise nothing else for market. If cot
ton was not king it could hardly bear
the strain, and as 1t is its sovereignty
is in serious doubt. King Cotton has
served US well in the past and with
fair treatment Will serve us we'll in the
future, but just now our king seems
to be in state of "innOcuouS desue-
tudt." | am therefore willing. in view
OF this fact, to JOIN any kind of a club
or take any reasOnble obligation that
| gives promise of a betterment Of our
condition as an industrial class. Nv
plan would be to form wheat growing
clubs In every district in the county,
whose object should not only be to en-
courage wheat growing but everything
else that can be raised on the farm that
calls for money. If the farmers of
Terrell county would sow in wheat on
! ly one acre to the pillow between this
and Christmas it would afford rain
| bow OF promise Of better time to come:
1t would IN some measure restore that
| lost confidence Of which we have heard
so much Of late, if not in the politician
at least in our ability to feed and cIOthe
our families by filling the soil.
Now, what can | say or do to en-
courage wheat growing in Terrell
county? Not much at best: but | am
willing to do all can, and angels can
no more. am going to SOW one bushpl
OF wheat to each pillow run, and will
say to any person living in the Fourth
district that will do the same and
raise more wheat to the acre than | do
that III give him a bushel Of wheat or
a dollar IN money, as may be agreed
upon hereafter, as a premium. If we
can get membership Of fifty will
pay premium Of fifty dollars or fifty
bushels Of wheat. What do YOU saw.
Fourth districtites, to this propositions?
We have just hitched on to the world
IN business-like way and shall we not
lead all other districts in promoting
the best interests of our county?

ENCLAND'S DESIGN
ON PANAMA CANAL
The News Creates 4 Sensation At
Colon.
NOT GENERALLY BELIEVED
But II Trus. 1t will rreysut united States
Control OF The Nicaragua
rroieet.

New York. September "a World dis
patch from Washington says:
The a ~ d's special cable adlvces frctn
Colon TO the effect that the franchises
heretofore held by French company
for the construction OF a ship canal across
the lsthmus OF Panama, has been trans
ferred to the government OF Great Brit
ain. has created a sensation here. one
Ials and those closely interested in the
Nicaragua canal project frankly admit
that II this transference has really been
made it will effectually prevent the United
States from controlling the proposed In
teroceanic canal and render the building
Of the Panama canal useless. AT the
same time it is not generally believed
French company has been transferred to
the government Of Great Britain. II Is
considered possible that an English COM
pany has purchased The rights of the
French company and may continue the
work now in progress. but that the Brit
ish government has assumed control OF
the project is not credited.
The concession originally granted by the
United States Of Colombia for the con-
struction of the isthmian canal to connect
the Atlantic and Paclae oceans to De
Lesseps ami mis- syndicate OF French cap
italists subsequently, passed into the
hands OF another French company.
Notwithstanding all the scandals and
difficulties connected with the work. much
headway has already been made. A force
OF two or three thousand men has been
steadily employed, but the uncertainty
OF a final success has pruved perpetual
source OF discourlgemeut and the con-
cession OF the French company has for
some time been offered for sale. The
United States and other governments
have had an opportunity OF purchasing 1t
and continuing the work.
Experts here express themselves as
convinced that the isthmian canal as pro-
jected by the French IS inpracticable.
The proposal TO construct it by a system
of locks is pronounced unsatisfactory II
not impossible. 1t might be possible TO
secure sufficient supply of water at the
summit to operate the locks at certain
seasons OF the year. while during others
the supply would be inadequate. the canal
thereby being rendered useless at inrer-
walls. This obstacle win not be encount-
cred in building the Nicaragua canal. as
the great lakes of the interior will fur
nish an abundant supply of water at all
seasons of the year.
Civil engineers AMI those familiar with
canal construction are not OF the opinion
that a company of English capitalists
will meet with better success than their
French predecessors. The only source Of
worriment lies in the possibility that the
concession has passed under the control
of the British government in which case
unlimited capital and engineering science
might end the existing difficulties This
would prevent Any further efforts towards
building the Nlcaragual canal
