Money in Tomatoes.

1t is stated on good authority that
the Bank of Humboldt, Tenn, paid
$4,000 in cash in payment of the
tomato crop of that section. The
country around Humboldt is not
more than ordinarily fertile, but the
people seem to have discovered that
endeavoring to raise cotton on up.
lanr is not profitable, and they
have made the equally valuable dis
covery that other things can be
raised with much less trouble and
which will bring in much greater
returns. There are other things TO
be raised besides tomatoes, and the
people throughout this section of
the country should give some at
ton to diversifying the various
crops to the end that they may reap
a rich reward for their labor, instead
of ekeing out mere existence.

Pearl Hunting Profitable.

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 22.-This
city is becoming Ethe center of the
pearling trade for three states, and
daily men who have been engaged
in the business are bringing in gems
which sell for good prices. Several
agencies have been opened here for
the purpose of buying the stones for
leading jewelry manufacturers, and
there are many brokers who buy the
pearls outright or sell them on COM
mission. The scenes around one Of
these brokers' place of business is
very Interesting, when one sees the
types that come from the country
and offer the stones for sale. There
are farmers who have left their
crops, negroes who have left their
positions as hired farm hands, coun-
try boys and adventurars.
The str+e of Arkansas is at pres
ent the le--ding pearl-producing state
of this vicinity. From the town of
Black Rock and that neighborhood
come the greater number of pearls,
although the whole state is we'll rep
resented. Very few of the pearls
found in that vicinity fall below $50
IN value, while several have been
known to sell for $4,000. The
pearls from Arkansas are of the
fresh-water variety, and stand all
tests very well.
The state of Mississippi is only
little behind Arkansas in point of
pearl fisheries. The northert pant
of the state seems to be particularly
rich in pearls, and if worked sys-
tematically should yield a splendid
crop. There are many lakes in
Tunica and Tate counties, and it is
along their borders that the pearls
have been principally found. One
man in Senatobia bought a gem
from a negro for $85, and the next
day the purchaser sold it in this
city for $500. Numerous other
trades like this one have been heard
of about here.
So far the state of Tennessee has
not come to the front like its sister
states. The principal fisheries are
located in the middle part of the
state, and Caney river has been the
chief producing center. The pearls
from this vicinity are thoroughly
up to the standard, and when put
on the market bring excellent prices.
Among those who are interested
to a great extent is j. J. Williams,
Mayor of Memphis. Mr.. Williams
has fisheries located on a small lake
near Black Rock, Ark, and already
has been very successful in his ven
ture. He has bought dredges and
all the latest scientific machinery for
the finding of pearls, and has gone
about the work in a business-like
manner.
A large factory for the purpose
of taking the pearls from the mus
sells has been established at Bates
vile, and from there the stock is
shipped to Pennsylvania and other
northern states for the purpose of |
manufacturing buttons and other
This plant employs seven
ty-fve men, and has an output of |
5000 pounds per week. !

General Crop Conditions.

The week was characterized
by frequent and almost coll
tinuOus rains until the 9th,
when, after an almost unpre=
cedentedly long spell of rainy
weather, a few days of fair
weather were experienced.
In some cases the 1ains were
very heavy; streams over
flowed and much bottom-land
corn was seriously damaged;
also some tobacco and cotton,
but these crops did not suffer
like lowland corn-the fields
that withstood the drouth
best now suffer most from
the floods. Upland corn i'm
proved during the week and
cotton continued to make
rapid growth. Cotton is re-
ported to be generally we'll
boiled and there are as yet no
serious complaints of rust
and shedding. Tobacco is
fine over most of the tobacco
district; there was some
damage by overlooking
streams, but with favorable
weather for ripening, a fine
crop will no doubt be cut.
The weather was favorable
to peas, sweet potatoes, and
late planted millet. Consid-
cradle quantities of millet
were lost in the shock and
much more of the early crop
was ripe but could not be cut
on account of the very wet
conditions. Turnips recently
planted are coming up well,
and gardens generally inn
proved during the week.
Peaches are plentiful, but
the quality of the fruit has
been badly affected by the
rainy weather; grapes have
deteriorated and apples are
generally poor and rather
scarce. No farm work of any
consequence could be done
during the week.

Scarcity of Labor in Mississippi.

With the opening of the cotton
picking season, only two weeks dis
tant, comes the annual complaint of
the great scarcity of farm labor, and
this season the complaint seems to
be unusually we'll grounded, for the
available labor is exceedingly scarce,
says a Jackson, Miss, telegram.
Owners of large plantations in the
Delta are now sending agents into
the hill counties to recruit forces of
cotton-pick ers, and when these
agents commence work in lively
earnest the demand for labor will
experience corresponding increase.
Their chief efforts for the present
will be confined TO the towns, but
as the supply grows scarcer the eff
forts will be extended to the country
and the inducement of high wages
held out. Railroad construction
work has drawn heavily on the labor
supply of Mississippi, and it is a
rather singular fact that of late me-
groes seem to prefer this class of la
Dor to working in the cotton fields.
Contractors are now offering 81. so
day, payable weekly, for negroes,
and thus far are unable to secure the
number of men desired. Railroad
construction has also been greatly
delayed from this cause, and con-
tractors report III several instances
that they will be unable to finish
their work within the time specified.
The fact can not be denied that an
aversion to farm work is being de-
veloped among the stalwart class of
negroes each year, and agricultural
interests always suffer from this
cause during the planting and bar
vesting seasons. Only in, recent
years has the field for the labor
agent been profitable one in this
state, but during the next few
months the man who engages in the
importation Of cotton-pickers will
find it very remunerative.

One-Man Election Power.

The Chattanooga News, referring
to the indisposition of so many vo-
tiers to register, says: cit has be-
come more and more evident every
year that people are firing of our
complex election laws" and attrib-
utes this tendency mainly to the
present offensive method of appoint
ing commissioners of registration.
Says the News;
This failure doubtless drives more
people away from the ballot box
than any other. 1t strikes home
rule heavy blow and undermines
one of the foundations of democracy
the right of the people to manage
their own local affair unhindered by
the executive arm of the govern
ment. This thing of man who
may be candidate for office hold
ing the election machinery in his
hands, appointing by proxy the cleo
ton officers in every county of the
state, supervising all elections from
Nashville and virtually counting the
vote and declaring the result, is
productive of no good. 1t breeds
discussions, splits the party into
factions, arrays democrat against
democrat, furnishes pretext for
charges of frauds, cuts down the
vote, and, if continued, will finally
rend the party asunder in this state.
We lay it down as an indisputable
proposition that the registration law
has caused democrat to fight demo-
crat harder than both of them ever
fought republicanism. = X y Voters
in nine cases in ten have nothing
personal against the commissioners
or the appointing power, but simply
because one man practically holds
the election machinery firmly in his
grasp, they rebel. 1t is opposition
to the system-this one man power
that makes it so difficult to get
the people to take an active interest
in politics.
The News says movement was
started in the last Legislature to cor
rect these defects in our election
laws, but it never went further than
the preparation of bill, which was
suddenly dropped, for what reason
has never been explained, although
"a number of prominent democrats
in various portions of the state'' ia
vored it and urged its support.
The News has claimed-or it has
been claimed for it-that it is the
only irregular" democratic daily in
the state. That it should join in a
strong condemnation of our election
law, even though it be upon the
ground that the law is working in
jury to the democratic party has a
significance that should invite the
attention of the machine. Banner.
Shortly after the passage of the
law authorizing the governor to
appoint commissioners of election
in the different counties of the state
the BULLETIN was among the first
to express its opposition to the I'M
just and undemocratic act. j he
spirit and letter of the law is wrong,
contrary to local self-government
and home rule. The people Of the
various counties should elect their
own commissioners, as they do their
other officials.
