General Condition of Crops.

The following is the report of
the general condition of crops in
Tennessee for week ending Monday,
July 81, 1899:
Good rains during the week, to-
gether with high temperature, in
duced an almost phenomenal revival
and growth of crops, and at the
close of the week a more hopeful
feeling regarding the prospective
yield of unmatured products pre-
vailed over the State. Early corn,
except in the localities where the
late drouth was most severe, shows
a marked Improvement, and now
promises a fair yield. Late corn
is beginning to grow off and de-
velop rapidly, aud with sufficient
moisture during the month, will
make almost an average crop. Cot
ton is rather small for the season
but is reported forming and boiling
well, as a rule; in some localities in
the Western Section, reports of
rust and shedding forms are made.
Tobacco on uplands is growing rap
idly since the rain-in some places
almost too rapidly for healthy con-
ditions; in lowlands the crop has
been damaged by wet weather and
flooding; in some places planters
have been induced by the late favor
able seasons to try the experiment
of setting out young plants, risking
the contingencies of late frosts.
Peanuts are doing well except that
in some localities in the counties
eascef the Tennessee River, army
worms are destructive to the vines.
Stock peas and millet are making
rapid growth since the rains, and
large areas are still being seeded to
these products for late hay crops.
Farmers are busy turning land and
preparing for the fall seeding of
wheat and other winter grains. The
second crop of Irish potatoes are
being planted. Sweet potatoes are
fine growth. Pastures have
improved wonderfully since the
rains and stock is getting in good
again. Sowing turnip
seed has progressed favorably and |
an increased acreage will be planted.
In Wayne and Lewis Counties ar
my worms are damaging corn and |
nillet as well as peanuts, and grass
lOppers are numerous. On the
whole the outlook is decidedly more
favorable.

Yellow Fever Spreading.

NORFOLK, Va, Aug i
Yellow fever has become an
epidemic at Thoelens, a lit
tie town almost adjoining
Hampton. The scourage
spread among the negroes at
that place and six cases and
two deaths have been report
ed to-day. While it is be-
lieved that the vigilance of
the authorities will keep the
dread disease confined to a
limited radius, grave appre-
tensions are expressed by
many that the disease will
reach this city.
There is no change in the
local situation save that the
authorities have redoubled
their efforts to prevent the
disease being introduced here.
The quarantine is exception
ally rigid and the vigilance
displayed by the quarantine
board has in a great meas
ure allayed alarm.

Texas First Cotton Bale.

AUSTIN Tex, July 3l.-Gov.Say-
ers to-day received a telegram from
William V. King, superintendent
of the New York Cotton Exchange,
announcing that the Texas first cot
ton bale was sold on the exchange
to-day at noon and bought by men,
bers, the sum realized from the sale
being $4,000. 1t is to be appro-
priated to the benefit of the Texas
food sufferers.
The Governor is pleased with the
liberality of the purchasers of the
bale. The bale was first sold on
the New Orleans Cotton Exchange,
and it brought only S126. 1t will
be sent from New York to st. Louis,
Atlanta, Memphis and other large
cotton markets, and will be auction
ed off at each place for the benefit
Of the flood sufferers.
The generosity Of the business
men of St. Louis, New York City,
Boston and other Northern cities
toward the stricken people of the
BrazoS River Valley has been warm
ly commended here. The total
amount Of cash contributions receiv-
ed from Northern cities is about
torty-five thousand dollars.

a Tennesseean who Weigh
ed 1000 Pounds.

When it comes to large men, the
Democrat is able TO put Miles Oar
den, who lived in Henderson Coun-
ty, against any of them. He was
born in Northampton County, n.
c., November 7, 1899; was married
to Mary Jenkins in 1920. BY this
marriage he had seven children, and
by his second marriage four chill
dren. lie moved from North Caro-
lima to West Tennessee in 1929 and
died six miles west of Lexington in
1857. He was seven feet six inch
es high, and in lS45 weighed over
1000 pounds. In 1889 his coat
was buttoned around three men,
each weighing over 200 pounds, and
they walked around the public
square at Lexington, Tennessee. In
1850 it required thirteen and one
half yards of cloth one yard wide
to make him a coat. His coffin was
eight feet long, thirty-fve inches
deep, thirty-two inches across the
breast, eighteen inches across the
head, fourteen inches across the
foot. 1t took twenty four yards of
black velvet to cover it. His hat
measured twenty-seven inches
around the crown and is now in
possession of the State Historical
Society at Nashville. He was a
Mason and belonged to the Baptist
County Democrat. !

JOHN KENNY, p. M
Even Dewey Couldn't.

Possibly the following is an old
story in a new form, but it illus
trates the fact that the fame of a
warrior, at least, while it is still
new, surpasses the fame of the civic
chieftain.
1t is said that on his latest tour
President Mckinley visited a mill
tary camp, and while strolling about
after nightfall got inside the lines
and tried to pass the sentry in COM
ing back, The sentinel stopped
him and demanded the counterSign.
81 don't know the countersign,
said the President.
Then you don't pass SIR" said
the soldier.
"But l am the President of the
United States" said Mr.. Mckinley.
81 can't help that, sir" answered
the soldier. eff you haven't got
the countersign you couldn't get by
here-not even if you was Geo.
Dewey himself !"-Youth's Com

A CHILD's LAUGH.

Apollo's golden hair; fill the vast
cathedral aisles with symphonies
sweet and dim, deft TOUGHER of the

til the silver notes do touch and
kiss the moonlight waves, and charm
the lovers wandering midst the vine

strains are discord all, compared

First Tennessee.

The committee having in
charge the work of arrang-
ing for the return of the First
Tennessee Regiment now has
something tangible to work
upon. Adjt. Gen. Corbin
says the regiment will reach
San Francisco about Oct. Z,
certainly not later than that
date.
The movement to prepare
for the home coming of the
Tennessee boys will now as
sumo greater proportions.
News comes from WASH
ington that the transports
now starting for Manila will
bring the First Tennessee on
their return trip.
The difference to the men
in mastering out in San Fran.
cisco and Nashville is shown
by the following letter given
Hon. j. W. Gaines, who is in
Washington, by Adjt.-G Gen.
Corbin yesterday:
"Dear Sir-Referring to
our conversation to-day, /
beg to inform you that if the
Tennessee regiment is must
cred out in San Francisco
each private will receive trav-
ell pay to the amount of
$106. 60; corporals, SLY ;cooks
and seargeants, $132, and
First Seargeants, $3.50. The |
cost in transportation from
San Francisco to Nashville
would amount to about $45
in each case, which of course
will have to be paid by the
men. They will also have
to pay their own subsistence
after they are mustered out
in San Francisco. 1t is re-
marked that the department
stands ready to send the reg
.ment to Nashville for mus
5er-out should the majority
Of the regiment so desire.
If they were mustered out
n Nashville they would be
1nder no personal expense in
'eaching here, but would re-
,eive no travel pay.

Costly Mems Hats.

The most expensive hat on record
cost 81, 500 in gold, and was pre-
sented to Gen. Grant while in Next
co in 1882. 1t is now on exhibition
in the National Museum at Wash
ington--perhaps the finest Mexican
sombrero that was ever made.
While William IL. Seward was
Secretary of State in Lincoln's Cab
met some of his admirers in South
America sent him a panama hat
which cost $1,000. 1t was on ex-
hibition in a show window in New
York for year or more. Panama
hats used to be frequently sold as
high as $500 each A New York
halter says that in 1867 he sold
three hats at that price in a single
day, but they are no longer in the
market. The most expensive hat
he has SOLD Tor several years was
bought by New York banker last
summer for $40. 1t was the last
fine Panama hat in stock. Such
hats are still worn by the hidalgos
in South America. They are not
made in Panama, but get the name
because that city was formerly the
greatest market for them. The fin
est hats come from Guayaquil and
Payti, Peru. They are made of
the fiber of the pita, or pine-ap
pie plant, which is as soft and plia-
bic as silk, and some of them are
80 fine that they can be folded up
and carried in the vest pocket. -
