Being Discussed by
the Cubans.

Havana, July 31.-At a general
meeting of the Society of Cuban
Planters held here today, the execu-
tive committee proposed a program
which was subsequently an pied.
The first clause of the program is to
the effect that the society declares it.
self to be exclusively an economic
body. A member of the executive
committee explained that although tae
society had never been anything else,
certain newspapers and people had
raised storm against it on account
of the rumors that the society intend
ed to change its plan Of action, but
that if the painters were enemies Of
the present Cuban regime they would
stop work on their estates and would
thus show what they could do Re
plying to the speaker, one of the plant
ers present complained that the SO
ciety was not sufficiently represented
in the press. and that it had no means
of putting before the people what it
considered best for the country.
Other articles of tne program sup
ported the plan or Emilio Terry, sec
retary OF agriculture. ia raise a loan
of $4,0O0.0O0 to assist the Cuban
planters and for the establishment of
mortgage banks The programme

tion. these were said to be due to
some members who favored the step.

Of agriculture, and at one time mayor
Of Havana, was elected president OF
the new executive committee. In
speech Senior Lacoste said ne accept
ed this office to show that he was not
afraid of being burned oul. as the Re
publica Guiana lad declared the Gu
bans would burn the island rather
than accept annexation. He said the
planters did not dare to declare in ia
vor of annexation, although there
were a great number of anneXationists
in the island
Other speakers said that Ii the eco
nomic situation o. Cuba became worse
and the working people were made
to feel the pincn, then would be the
time to declare for annexation. Still
other speakers said they looked for
the Unitea States to 10 everything in
the matter OF ultimate annexation

THE CORN CROP POOR.
Farmers Disappointed, and Many are
Planting for a Second Crop.

Farmers Disappointed, and Many are
Planting for Second Crop.
Farmers are not a little concerned
on account of the condition of the
corn crop, than which no crop in re-
cent years mas had poorer prospects.
The failure, either wholly or in part
of the crop is a, serious blow to all
farmers, and especially to those who
farm on the nog and hominy plan.
They place great dependence upon
their corn fields. for hogs, cattle,
horses and mules are largely provided
for by the harvest OF fodder and corn.
Corn in the uplands is parched,
stunted and unfruitful The ears are
few in number and tneir development
is poor. In the bottom lands better
yield is making, but on the whole the
condition OF the crop is very discour-
aging. Farmers believe that it will
be necessary for them to buy from the
west before another crop can be
made. In the western states it is graf
fy.ng to note tnat the yield is abund-
ant. s&i.izlA

met at sawyers nall yesterday and
what promised to be a warm meeting
turned out to be a regular love feast.
For some time a war has been on
between Chairman Belcher of this
city. and Postmaster Grier of Dublin.
Grier and his followers wanted a con-
vention called to elect a chairman and
discuss the advisability of putting out
a ticket. and Grier was the candidate
for the Craftsmanship and Belcher did
not want a convention here tAe nght
went on. The controversy attracted
state attention and the meeting yes
Nay was watched with interest by
republicans of Georgia. Grfer,

Hed all kinds Of concessions and
1Trier was ready to do anything for the
gtne sake of harmony. Finally, an
agreement was reached and the con-
vention met--for harmony"
The meeting was called to order at
1890 by Chairman Belcher, and after
prayer proceeded to business.
Postmaster Grier said he had fought
for The craftsmanship, but he nad con
cluded tnat harmony was the best
policy, and he had withdrawn but not
until he had received a letter from
the postmaster general saying that ne
being a postmaster could not offer
for any political office This state
ment was received with somewhat OF
"sour-grape' look by the colored
delegates, but they gave the post
master a weak rap, and ne took his
seat

in all made a very good talk. A. B.
