Carmack Pleased.

Washington, Augusta. Senator Car

England, where he made several speech
es in company with William j. Bryan
and other prominent democrats. Mr..
Carmack is enthusiastic over the cordi-
ality of the New England democrats
and their unmistakable interest in the
issues of the day and the great part Of
the democracy is to play in the restora-
tion Of the government to first princi-

Will Take 46,666 Trains to Handle This
Seasons Yield of Corn.

A corn crop of fully two and one-half
billion bushels, which is three hundred
million bushels more than the biggest
crop in the history of the country, is
predicted fol this year by traffic men
and grain statisticians, says Railway
Age. Two and ahalf billion bushels of
corn means 140, 900, 900, 600 lbs, which
means 70, 900, 900 tons, which, at the lib
eral average of Thirty tons to the car,
means 2, 1888, 1888 carloads; which, at fifty
cars to the train, means 4G, 6G6 trains,
which means loud calls for cars and en-
gines, long hours and increased pay for
train crews, large earnings for the rail-
ways, much money for farmers, mer-
chants and all related industries, and q
continuance of general prosperity.
How much of the possible two and q
third million carloads will actually be
carried by rail and how much of it will
be consumed on the farms can not be
so easily figured; but the bulk of the
prodigious yield will reach the railways
in the form of corn or of stock, and the
roads in the corn-growing regions will
have all that they can do for months
and every railway and business in the
country will benefit from the prosperity
Of the producers of this great staple.

Mapping the Appalachian Muntalns.

Within the last month the director of
the United States Geological Survey
has issued orders for the completion Of
the mapping of the Roam Mountain
quadrangle, section of the heart of
the southern Appalachians, in the vi
cinity of the mountain of that name, in
cluded between latitudes SO degrees
and 80 degrees and 80 minutes and Ion
gitudes 36 degrees and 80 degrees and
30 minutes. The tract, quadrangle
containing about 1000 square miles,
lies partly in North Carolina and partly
in Tennessee, just north of Mount
Mitchell and the Asheville region; it
embraces within its boundaries the
towns of Jonesboro, Elizabethton, Err
win and Bakersville. The map will be
completed on the scale on which it was
commenced-19 30, 900; and contour lines
at intervals of every 100 feet will be
drawn through points of equal eleva-
tion, thus indicating the attitudes above
sea level and also the character of the
slopes of the mountains.
The.work will be under the control OF
Mr.. Munroe, one of the topographers
of the survey, whose party will consist
Of r. @. Howard, field assistant; W. G..
Espey, rodman; and G. b. Kendall, lev
Gilman. He will also be assisted by E.
G. Hamilton, assistant topographer,
and &. T. Ford, field assistant.
The greater part of the southern Ap-
palachian region has been topographic
ally mapped by the geological survey
and the maps are now available at the
normal government rate, on application
to the director of the survey.

Anti-SalOOn League Resolutions.

Resolved, That we, the executive
committee Of the Anti-Saloon League,
of johnson City, do hereby earnestly
request every minister in the city to
give due prominence to the work and
purpose of this organization, and when
ever possible say word in its favor
and aid in every way in his power to
further the purpose of the league.
In so much as the league is non-sec-
tartan and non-partisan in every re-
spect we think that it would be to the
best interest Of the league that its bus
mess meetings be held in the different
churches in order that the place of its
meetings may be convenient to all alike
and thus give all chance to be present
Be it further resolved, by the com
mittee, That we also request the minis
ters to arrange for q monthly union
service TO be held in, on Sunday even
ing, routine at the various churches,
and that they arrange so that one o.
their number preach temperance ser
mon at said union service.
Also resolved, That we request the
papers Of the city to give due space tC
the working of this league and aid The
cause of temperance in every way il
their power.
Be it also further resolved, That WI
ask the choirs of the several churches
to come together as q general choir an(
furnish music at the monthly uniol

The Coal Fields.

In an interview in last weeks issue
of the Manufacturers Record, United
States Senator Stephen B. Elkins, of
West Virginia, says:
"West Virginia is next to Illinois in
the coal-producing states, and it is not
very far behind that, and from the rail
road development that is going on, be-
fore many years it will give Pennsyl-
vania quite hustle for position. West
Virginia is full of coal, oil and timber.
The coal is the best property one can
have; it even beats New York real es-
tate. Tam still buy ing coal lands, and
some day there will be built the line
known as the Coal & Iron railroad that
will help to deliver the product Of West
Virginia at tidewater. There is going
to be plenty of work for all the rail
roads that will be built, and there will
be profit to them, because the demand
for coal is going to be great enough tC
avoid the necessity of any cut rates fol
carrying it. 1 don't fear the Baltimore
& Ohio, the Chesapeake & Ohio or the
Norfolk & Western, for they have go
all they can do, and they will havt
plenty to do to take care of the tonnage
that will come from the development
along their lines.
