The Corn Crop.

Corn las become the greatest and
most valuable crop CT the United States,
and is therefore watched every year
with greas anxiety. Reports Of gea-
eIal lad condition Of the growing corn
have therefore caused much alarm, and
it is gratifying to know that the pse5ic-
t;oDs Of damage to the crop have been
exaggerated. The corn scare vas un-
douDtsdly designed by speculators and
the effect Of their misrepresentation
have baen to crest degree counter.
acted by impartial snd reliable informs-
ton. Il is undoubtedly true that corn
has suffered terribly in parts Of the
west, esps cially in Missouri, Kansas
anG Nebraska, but the droush il those
states has been broken by The rains Of
the past fe1 days and the condition Of
corn improved very much. The Federal
department Of agriculture does not be-
lieve that the crop vii! fail below 2. 000,,
600, 600 bushels. It must be remem-
bered, toe, that very large amount Of
corn was left over last year. 1t is prao-

have ample corn for all its own needs

GEORGIA JUSTICE.
Two White Men Punished for Killing
q Negro.

A dispatch from Atlanta says the
Shell Cochran case, which vas decided
by the Georgia supreme court Thursday
against the convicted men, is one Of
the most interesting cases that has ever
come upfron Campbell county. Shell
and Pegrsm Cochran and one Of their
companions, 3 man named Hester, are
now convicted Of numbering Sterling
Thompson. Of Campbell county, during
January Of the present year, and they
sll three face life sentences in the PEN
itentisry.
Indictments are in existence against
Steve Cochran and men named Nc.
Kenz:e, DeMouney and Reeves, who
will doubtless bs tried at the next
term Of cours. The case came up from
the superior court Of Csmpb. II county,
Judge John s. Gambler residing. The
story Of the murder is perhaps best told
from the evidence Of Hester, one Of the
convicted men, who turned states eYi-
dence.
Sterling Thompson was an old negro
man, who held lease upon farm
which had been purchased By old man
Chchran, the father of Shell Cochran.
The state gave as a motive for the
crime the fact that the Coehrsns wan
ted to occupy the Thompson farm, and
alleged that they adopted murder as
the best method Of riddidg themselves
Of him.
Hester testified that the Cochran
boys had asked him to join IN con-
spiracy to whip cid man Thompson,
as the negro had been talking against
the whites. Hester stated that he,
Shell Cochran, Pegrsm Cochran and
Mckenzie, DeMouney and Reeves went
in buggies to the farm Of the old ne
gro. A! sto,e they stopped to ask
for light. The storekee per recogniz-
ed McKeI zie and SO testified at the
trisl.
When they arrived at Thompson's
house, said Hester, MeKeIzie, who
had been elected csptain, called to
THOMPSON to c9me out aud help him
in attending his team. Thompson 1e
fused to come because his wife advised
him not to, she believing that she had
heard footsteps around the house.
Hester testified that tie men told
Thompson they would batter down his
door if he did not come out. He again
refused and with tools obtained from
a nearby blacksmith shop they batter
ed down his door. As they entered,
said Hester, Thompson fred at them
with shotgun, filing the door facing
with squirrel shot.
They then fred a yolley st the ne.
gro, killing him. His son attacked the
white men with a hoe and several shots
we're fr5d at him. Afeer being kicked
for several times he was left for dead, as
he did not move.
Hester testified that the party had
gone to Thonpson's house for the pur-
pose Of whipping him, but had been
forced to kill him. Hester also testi.
fed ,hss Steve Cochran was not in the
party, but the state contends that Steve
Cochran was the ringlesdar Of the whole
business, having induced his brothers
to do the work while he remained at
home.

THE HOT WAVE,
More Disastrous to Human Life Than
Any Recent Epidemic.

any Sscent Epidemic
The recent hot wave with it's hun
dreds Of deaths and thousands Of pros.
trstions has been more disastrous in
it's effects than any epidemic that has
visited the country. Cholera, yellow

hundreds Of victims, but not within
the space Of 80 few days. The direct
faalities have been enormous, but the
scourage cannot be judged by these
alone; the increase in the number of
deaths from other causes must also
be attributed to the excessive heat,
fatal in it's results on system en-

In SUCH crises nothing can be done

OUR TRADE LOSSES.
Result Of fhe Administration Pol.
icy in ths Orient.
EXPORTS HAVE INCREASED
In Those Sections Where We Have
Stuck Ssrickiy 70 Business.
Aggressive Policy Does
Not Pay Us

For years past, especially since tie
purchase Of the Philippines We have
heard much about the splendid pros
poets Of extending our commerce in the
Orient. It is remarkable commentary
on the these rosy predictions that the
statistics for the l l months which end.
ed with May, 1901, show that the
quarter from which such vast increase
Of trade was to come to Us is the only
part Of the world in which We sustained
a loss Of commerce.
While We gained everywhere else We
lost heavily in the region which has
been SO volubly proclaimed as the
promised land of American com uercial
enterprise.
Our exports to South Americs In
creased $6, 000,O 900; to Africa Sc, 000,;
600; to countries Of North America
$40, 900, 900 and Europe 800, 000, 900
in II months.
Daring the same period our exports
to Asia and O,eanica actually decreased
$25, 900, 900.
It is claimed that the troubles ia
China account for this big falling off
but that explanation will not do for
several reasons. 10 the frat place our
loss Of exports to eastern countries is
greater than the whole volume Of our
exports to China hss ever been In one
year.
In the second place the chief Chiaese
ports were constantly open during the
time when this sbrinkage Of our ex-
ports to the east occurred, and in the
third place We lost heavily in oriental
trade outsida Of China which could not
have been affected by the rebellion IN
.hat country.
During II months ended with May
1900 our exports to Asis and Oseanica
amounted sl01, 600, 900 and during the
II months ended May 81, 1901, these
exports reached total Of only SIG, ,O0O,-
600.
Itis also claimed that large part of
our exports to Hawaii during the period
referred to are not included in the
figures for our Pacific trade as Hawaii
is now considered customs district
of the United States. But even II We
exclude the entire volume Of our ex-
ports to Hawaii, which for the II
months taken in this comparison did
not excsed SIG, 0OO, 900 we still have a
loss in exports to the east Of fully $780,
000, 1000.
It is remarkable fact that while the
the total volume Of our exports during
the fiscal year just closed increased i'm
menssly Of 1,487, ,656 544, We lost
heavily in trade with Asia and Oceanica,
The great increase Of our exports is
due almost entirely to larger sales Of
agricultural and manufactured products
to Europe.
The nations Of Europe are not only
still By far our best customers but they
buy more from Us than ever before mora
the aggregate and a greater variety Of
articles.
We may eventually build up our
trade in the Orient to much larger pro-
portions than it now has but Europa
must continue to be our biggest and
best market for our exports for long
time to come.
Our policy Of territorial expansion in
the east has not SO far aVailed to in.
crease our trade in that quarter, and it
never will if it depends merely upon
establishment Of military power there.
