The statement of the Gnancia

The statement of the financial

State contains too many details to
admit OF summary here, but the
Governor refers to the owing as
creditable one, and makes one
suggestion which will excite gsnsr-
al interest: 1t 10 always . matter
OF doubt and anxiety to the Tr.aa-
urer, at the end of the year, hs
says, whether hs will have the
funds Vt command to meet his
obligations, and this state OF af >,
fairs arises solely from the delay
in collecting taxes under the sx~
lsting law. He suggests that If
the TAX books were closed on De :
CEN nbsr IS, instead of Decent bsr
81, as now required this doubt
snd'uncsrtainty would bs removed,
"and no one he "oppressed there
by a. it is well known that
"those most able to pay their
taxes care generally the last to do
so" We think the suggestion is q
thoroughly practical and prscti>
cable one, and that it should be
adopted. 1t Will be easier for
most taxpayers to pay their taxes

In a nutshell, the cotton .itua>
tion is simply this: Yarn manu-.
fscturors are unable to make salts,
factory profits from raw material
at present prices, and the cassum-
ing public is fighting further aG-
vance in the price Of the manu-
fsctursd goods. The holders of
cotton have faith in the strength
OF their position, and the waiting
game that is being played on both
sides is growing tiresoms to those
most directly interested. We hope
to see the deadlock broken by
still further advance in tho price
of manufactured goods. This, of
course, viii be followed immedia~
tsly by an advance in the price of
raw cotton. n.-Yorkville Enquirer.

POTATO CROP SUFFERS.
Growers Sustain Loss from Rot Fol-
lowing Late Blight.

A short time ago the experiment
station at Burlington sent out word
that the potato blight and rot threat
ened to do serious damage in Vermont
this fall. Later reports from the same
source say that the fears of trouble
were all realized, and that there has
been in tact a considerable amount OF
loss already to potato growers.
The rot follows the late blight and
comes from the same cause. Those
who have late blight in their fields,
therefore, are bound to have rot; and
in all such cases special care ought TO
be taken in sorting and storing the
potatoes for winter.
The experiment station still insists
that proper spraying, backed up by
proper cultivation, will protect the
potato crop from these diseases. Con-
tinued experiments and practical field
tests covering period OF ten years,
or more. have proved this beyond the
possibility of doubt. Even now, in
the latter part of September, when
most potato vines are dead, and many
fields ofpotatoes already dug, the ex-
pertinent station potato fields are as
green and growing as any time in
July or August; and the potato eX-
pert claims that they are making po-
tatoes now at the rate OF % to 80 bush
els week for every acre.
Wouldn't it pay potato growers to
look into the matter?

PAPERS FOUND
On Dead Man Believed TO Have
Furnished Evidence
Upon Which Three Officers of
United rIine Workers Were
Indicted.

jacksonville, KY, Dec. l9.-The
Webster county grand jury has re-
turned indictments against James
ID Wood, Christopher C. Barnaby
and W.tB. Kissinger, officers of the
United Mine Workers, charging
them with being accessories before
the fact to wllful murder. The in
dictments are based on the fight at
Providence mines and are believed
to have been procured by reason of
papers IouSa on the body ofGivens,
the union miner killed. One of the
papers contained the names of
thirty or more men who were known
to be union miners. Opposite the
name Of each man was the nun ber
and description Of weapon in their
possession. Other papers were
found on his person, but line author
tiles refused to make known what
these papers contained. All these
documents were submitted to the
grand jury, and it is now believed
that the indictments against the
three leaders were secured on evil
dence found on Givens' body.
It is said that neither Baraoy,
Wood nor Kissinger will be allowed
to give bail, but after their arrest
win be,confined in. jail until the
