The officers we're puzzled. The

upon what to do. The skipper, with
some Of the ward room officers went
ashore on the following morning and
found the men walking around in an
orderly fashion, OH good terms with
the natives, and all still spccchlcss
and sullen. Those Of them whom the
skipper met he ordered back to the
ship. None of the men made any
reply, and none went back to the
ship. The blue jackets remained on
the beach at Tahiti for more than a
week, conducting themselves with
perfect ordcrliness, but very bitter in
their talk about the ship out in the
harbor. 1t looked as if most Of the
sailors intended to settle down at
Tahiti and grow up with the country,
and meanwhile the ship grew dirtier
and dirticr, and had a general un-
worked look. Then an American
merchant living on the island got the
blue jackets together and talked to
them. The blue Jackets told him that
the officers had made the ship 80 un-

declined to stand for ii, and that they
had no intention Of returning aboard
The American, who was man of tact,
went aboard the ship and had talk
with the officers, and then returned
and talked again with the men. He
was pretty good arbitrator, for the

An Extraordinary Wheat Crop.

!vRH,iii.r, :. C., june :;.--i'nc
following will sound like a fish story
TO great many in South Carolina and
elsewhere, but Notwithstanding this
fact the story is absolutely correct
Your correspondent was Informed Il
few days ago by reliable gentleman,
and a resident of Charlotte, n. c.,
that Mr.. Fred. Oliver, of that city,
and the general manager Of the Char
lottc Cotton Seed Oil and Fertilizer
Company, sowcd 250 acres of his farm
in the outskirts of Charlotte, in
wheat last fall. very late in the sea-
son, and cxpcc.cd to harvest 10 coo
bushels, which will be an average Of
forty bushels to the acre.
My informant, who has had great
deal OF experience in harvesting and
handling wheat, said that while he
hardly thought the yield would reach
the amount expected by Mr.. Oliver,
still he was satisfied that not less than
from seven to eight thousand bushels
would be harvested
Probably so large a crop has never
before been raised on single farm on
the same number of acres, in either
North or South Carolina or Georgia.
The land on which the wheat was
raised has been owned by Mr.. Oliver
several years. and he has spent large
amounts of money in fertilizing and
improving it. Last year it was plant
cd in cotton, and had remarkably
fine crop on it. but as it is not first
class "cotton land the crop failed to
mature.
Following are about all the facts
your correspondent has been able to
gather in regard to the preparation of
the land and the seeding. About the
latter part of November, after becom-
ing convinced that the heavy crop Of
bolls on the cotton stalks would not
mature and open, MIR. Oliver put a
large number of turning plows to work
breaking up the land and turning un-
der the cotton and stalks. Next he
thoroughly narrowed the land, and it
was ready for the seed, which was put
in with drills, together with $50 lbs.
Of ammoniated fertilizer to the acre.
The crop has not yet been harvest
ed. but will be during the next two
weeks, and in order to harvest it at
the minimum Of expense, Mr.. Oliver
has bought TIVE binders, and has also
bought the largest and best threshing
machine he could find to be used in
cleaning it, or separating the wheat
from the chaff.
And this is not all. This shrewd
business man, who has furnished such
a valuable object lesson to the farmers
of the South, has also bought hay
press and will put up all the straw in
bales. 1t is estimated that he will
have at least 325 tons, or an average
of one and a half tons to the acre.
The market value Of the straw will
more than pay all the expense in con-
nection with the crop, including the
purchase price of the machinery for
harvesting and cleaning it.
Of course, the foregoing story has
not been related with the idea of Gre
ating the impression that anybody can
do the same thing, especially where
the ordinary slip-shod methods are
employed, but with the hope of con-
vincing some of the cottontots who
may read it that the threadbare asser-

lie went out on the electric car, and
on the right Of the car track going
out, possibly two miles from the city,
was very much surprised to see an un-
usually fine field of wheat, almost
ready to be harvested. He had an
idea that no etfor. was ever made to
raise wheat in this State that far south.
If wheat can be successfully grown in
sight Of Columbia it is safe to say
that at least threc-fourths Of the State
could raise all that is needed for home
consumption. and some to spare, and

GEN. SHAFTER RESPONSIBLE.
Why the Balloon Was Sent Tn on the
Firing Line ut Santiago.


In his annual report Gen. GreeIy strong
ly commendS the use of the war balloon
and declares that its utility was thoroughly
demonstrated during the Spanish war Con-
cerning the criticism made of the balloon
operations at Santiago he says:

is reported to have caused serious loss 10

and attracting the enemy's fire, was The

Gen. Greedy says that the signal corps
failed to receive from Maj. Gen. Sh&fter
in his original report even notice THAI it
had participated in the Santiago campaign. >
An interesting part of Gen. Greely's report
is that which relates TO the telegraph CEN
sorship. Upon this feature he says:
There has been a Misrepresentation on the
part Of many that the signal corps eXer-
cised press censorship during the war,
an opinion that is entirely unfounded, as tne
chief signal officer ignored all Suggestions
looking to Interference with the free an /
untrameied publication OF press matter

otic spirit expressed freely and frequently,
not only of their willingness, but also of
their desire to refrain from the publication

success of military operations. These Of

GASTON HALL LECTURES.
ThiI Il of the Series Which the Public
is permiiied To Attend.

The third of the regular series of compli-
mentary lectures given at CASTOR Mem
ORAL Hall of Georgetown University WAS

of the evening was delivered by Mr.. James
E Benedict, Ph. D., of the Smithsonian In
stitution, first naturalist of the L. S. s. All
batross. The subject of the lecture was
marine life. 1t was illustrated by a number
of stereopticon views, prepared for the oc-
casiOn by the university professor of chem
istry, Rev. John BrosLan, S. j.
good many of the views were secured
on the expedition of the I. 5. S. Challenger
shortly after the close of the civil war,
while some of the others w=re secured
while the lecturer was on board the Alba
tross. The various forms of life in the
sea were shown, the peculiar shapes of
some OF the denizens of the deep exciting
comment.
Prior TO the lecture, the Glee Club of the
university rendered Geibers Onward" re-
ceiving an encore, and a mandolin quartet,
consisting of Mr.. Hallahan, Mr.. Murphy,

quartet, consisting of Mr.. Kirby, Mr.. O'Fer-
Iell, Mr.. Merrill and MIR. Head, sang, with
much effect, a song arranged by shattuck,
