Weekly Crop Bulletin.

Very few correspondents reported
any rainfall during the past week.
Drouth prevailed over most of the
State. The temperature was high
until the 18th, when the weather
became much cooler, and on the 10th
light frost was reported at a few
places, but the frost did slight dam
age. The week closed with warm
weather.
Early corn is generally fine crsp
but the late planted is greatly dam
aged by the drouth and promises a
rather poor yield. Cotton is suffer
ing from the drouth and from rust
and shedding, especially on uplands,
and the prospective yield is not as
good . it was a few weeks ago. 1t
is opening rapidly and picking is be-
coming general.
Fall crops, such as sweet potatoes,
Irish potatoes, turnips and garden
truck, made very little progress dur
ing the week, and peanuts suffered
greatly from lack of moisture.
The conditions were very favor
able for the gathering of hay crops
and for the housing of tobacco,
which progressed rapidly. The to-
bacco crop is generally good one,
and a remarkable absence of worms
is reported.
But little plowing was done, ow-
ing to the dry, hard condition of the
ground. Pastures have dried up in
many places and water for stock is
scarce. There are but few late
peaches, but the apple crop is ap-
parently fairly good.
State Board of Equalization.
The State Board of Equalization,
just before closing its sitting at
Nashville last week, adopted the fol-
lowing resolution:
Whereas, Because of the limited
time allowed by law for the session
Of the State board of equalization in
which to eQualize the assessments
upon property in the State of TenEes-
see, it is impossible for the State
beard to pass upon each specific piece
of property in the State for the pur-
p1sa of determining to this boards
satisfaction the adequacy OF the as
sessment upDn such property: there
fore ne it
Resolved by the State board Of |
equalization, That the comptroller is
hereby authorized and directed to IT. |
Etruct the revenue agents of the State !
of Tennessee to look closely into the |
assessment of corporate and other Pc
Sonal and real property within their
jurisdictions, to the end that |
whenever they ascertain that any |
property is not adequately assessed.
proper proceedings shall be taken at
once to cite the corporation or prop
erty owners to appear before the proper
official of the county in which the
property is located for back or reas-
sessment, provided by law.
1t is hereby declared to be the pur-
pose of the State board of equalization
that no assessment upon any property
shall be final or conclusive, except
when said property is assessed at its
actual cash value.

THE BUSINESS LEAGUE ASSESSMENT

sTbe committee appointed to assess
the business concerns Of the city for
the support of the Business League
aud toward securing new enterprises
made their report to the directors OF
that organization last Tuesday night,
and it was as fair an assessment as
could be compiled. The report was
carefully gone over by the directory
and in the Judgment of the ten men
representinng ten different business
institutions of the city, the assess
meute were raised or lowe so that
Justice might be done TO all. In our
opinion there should be no KICK
from anyone as no assessment Is so
large that it will be burdensome.
That the money will not be wasted is
assured by the high business stand
ing oil the men VIII COh PooO o'O "
reetory, and these men have assessed
themselves equally with the others
Now if you want your city to grow,
if YOU are in earnest in wanting new
enterprises, if you want increased
river and railroad facilities, it will
take money to do it. So without a
murmur come up with your assess
ment and your heart and mind made
up to help the league accomplish
these things. Every citizen OF Green
Vile should follow Atlantas' rule,
500 for your neighbor as you woul |
for Yourself" patronize each other,
work for each others business, work
together for and advertise your city

IN BEHALF OF THE DOG.

The activity of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in
putting stop to the dog-eating OF
the Iggorot rs, in the Philippine colony
at the St. Louis exposition is a com
mendable thing, both from the stand
point of the dog and of the Iggorote
Both are to be congratulated. The
yellow ours of the Missouri metropo-
lis who may have considered them
selves foredoomed to the unpleasant
role Of central figure at Iggorote
feasts can bay forth their JOY to the
lambient moon without fear of run
ming counter to the canuabalistic ten
denotes of their brothers in black
from the tropics while the latter
will have ample opportunity of at
tanning a full appreciation of the
beauties Of benevolent assimilation by
falling into the clutches of the great
American beef trust
But the question seems pertinent;
Why is it that the good men and wo-
men who comprise this society have
delayed their activity in behalf of
the dog until the arrival of the Ig
gorotes? Has it never occurred to
them that it might have been to the
interest of the dog, and perhaps of
their fellow-ci of these United
States, if they had iDaugurated a.
similar crusade during the open

G. H. Kohler, practicing physician
of many years in our midst, sterling
Democrat and man Of excellent quail
ifications to fill the position now held
by John Lind. DR.. Kohler was born
in Hennepin county, was educated in
the public schools and the state uni
versity. Though at all times staunch
Democrat he has never before been q
candidate for Office, and is now in the
race for congress owing to the urgent
solicitation Of hundreds of friends
who are giving him loyal support His
sound and able addresses at the vari-
GUS ward meetings have awakened
lively interest in the man and the feel
ing is expressed on all sides that the
Democracy Of this city and county
could not make happier choice than
by selecting him as their standard
bearer next Tuesday. The Irish Stand
ard voices this sentiment and would
urge all Democratic voters to mark
their ballots for him, believing that If
he is nominated he will make an ag-
gressive and winning campaign. DR..
Kohler announces his platform in part
as follows:
Reciprocity with Canada. This is
of the highest Importance to the peo-
pie of the Northwest and correct in
principle.
Reimbursement of the tariff on trust
made goods, in order that the people
may be protected from the robberies
Of so-called protection"
Vigorous prosecution, both criminal
and civil, by the attorney general Of
the United States of all illegal COM
binations and trusts.
The maintenance of the rights Of
labor to organize for it's protection, as
the law now permits capital to do.
Systematic and business-like inn
provement Of the Mississippi river
from Minneapolis to the gulf, and
prompt completion of the Panama
canal.
Unreserved and hearty endorsement
of the Democratic national and state
platforms.
