The British ship Falls of HalIadale,
Captain D. W. Thomson, arrived in
port yesterday after a terrible expe-
rience on the high seas Storms, hur-
ricanes and every fury Of the elements
combined against the ship as she
neared the Horn, but these were only
secondary to the disorder, confusion
and mutiny that reigned among a por-
ton Of the crew. headed by one Of the
seamen named Thomas Mooney. For
thirty-eight days the Captain was
obliged to keep Mooney in irons before
he would resume duty and give up his
mutinous ideas.
The ship sailed from Liverpool on
July %, bound for this port with a gen
eral cargo composed of pig iron, salt,
soda and other merchandise. The
weather was fairly smooth until Sep
tember q, when they were off Diego
Ramirez Island, when the wind COM
menced to rage and high seas set in.
Just as they were OFF the pitch of the
Horn, they experienced all kinds of
weather. The next day, when they
were in the Straits of Lemaire, they
siHhted a four -masted bark ashore. On
September 2S they ran into a hurricane
which seemed to come from every
point of the compass, seas continually
washing the decks Of the ship with
great fury.
LOSES NINETEEN SAILS.
This kind of weather went on up to
the 10th Of October, during which time
the vessel had lost nineteen sails. 1t
was now three weeks that the ship had
been trying to round the Horn and had
been combating with the elements.

ASSESSING CASH ON DEPOSIT.


A man of Princeton, KY, writes to
ask the Louisville Herald il it isn't a
little hard on Auditors Agent Lucas
over his suits against state banks. He
says that report of Auditor Coulter
showed that only about ope-sixth OF
the bank deposits were listed for tax.
alton, and adds:
1.-THE justice of requiring taxes on
one-sixth of the deposits while five,
sixths go tax free is not apparent
The gentleman is quite right as fsl
rs he goes. But suppose he should BE-
asked to pay taxes on his neighbor'i
farm simply because the assessor hac
failed to assess it? That would be a,
reasonable ard just as asking banks
to pay IA tax on something that does.
ut belong to them.
The justice of taxing cash on depos-
it is not denied, but il M ust be listed
by the possessor for taxation or the
assessor must in some other way get
it for assessment, ana il is not right
to make anyone except the person who
owns 1t pay taxes ON it.
AS the Herald explains,
ut is utterly impracticable and i'm
possible to enforce it against money
and other sorts of elusive personal
property which can be "hid out" on
the assessor. The attempt to enforce
it has always resulted in perjury, eva
sion or silent resistance. A conscien-
tious few, amounting. let it be grant
ed. to one-sixth, pay the taxes; the
other five-sixths evade o. escape it,"
That seems to be the situation in a
nut she'll II five-sixths of such prop
erty is not taxed, it Is not the fault OF
the banks, nor of the assessor. The
banks are not required to list deposits
for the person in whose name they
we're placed, and couldn't list them if
they were, for all assessments are made
as on certain day, and the depositor
may have checked all his money out
the day before, and the money on the
day of assessment belong to some one
else. The assessor cannot list it un-
less the owner gives it in, for he has
no means of ascertaining the amount
The sum and substance of the matter
Is that probably taxes will never be
paid On money on deposit until all
men become sufficiently honest to list
it for assessment. The Herald adds
in conclusion: "Our correspondent

at Princeton may be sure that the
effort to tax money that can be ibid
out" will never be more successful in
Kentucky than elsewhere. Expert
ment has proved it to be not only i'm
practicable, but rainous to business.
A law unenforcible, or which even IL
enforcible would destroy the security
of business and property, should 60
off the statute books.
Tine banks cannot be made TO pay
taxes on money belonging to their de-
positors without the ruin of banking.
How will the banks recover from de-
positors withdrawn, dead, or failed ?
1t would require mountain OF litiga-
ton costing vastly more than the
taxation. Auditors Agent Lucas
has forgotten the interests of the
state in his efforts to secure large
commissions ny the possible enforce
ment of an absurd contention.

Planting an Orchard.

We are glad to see a growing interest
in planting fruit trees of all kinds all
over the South. We welcome this SEN
timent because it shows disposition
to look more to permanent farming.
A tree is longer lived than a cotton
stalk, and so when man begins to
plant trees he expects to stay and reap
the benefit thereof.
For peaches, pear, apples and such
like from sixteen to twenty feet each
way is a good distance. We do not
think it pays to crowd trees too much,
and when planted as we are now di-
recting they will grow larger live long
er and bear more and better fruit.
Pecan trees should be set from thirty
to fifty feet apart, generally forty feet
is about right.
The cheapest and by far the best
method of making the holes for the
trees is to blow them with dynamite;
use four-ounce cartridge with two
feet of fuse.
With a crowbar make the hole where
you wish the tree to stand two feet
deep, place the cartridge in this and
fire it off. This will pulverize the clay
four feet deep and four feet across and
is cheaper and better hole than can
be prepared in any other way.
Place the tree in this and put in q
little manure or fertilizer in the soil
and press firmly around the roots of
the tree. Trees set in this way will
live longer and do better
There is no danger attending the use
of dynamite except i'll handling the
caps.-DiXie Farmer.

A GIRLS SACRIFICE.

In order that the village may pay off
4 mortgage on the Union Church, Miss
Bessie Smythe, pretty young woman
of Castine, Me-. consented 70 sell her
hair at auction and to have it cut off
in the presence of the company, to be
given to the highest bidder. The nov
city of the scene and the gyeat sacri-
flee which the good-looling girl was
willing to make touched some visitors
from out of town in place that no So
Letting committee had been able to
reach. The bidding went on briskly
until a lawyer from Worcester, Mass,
had offered S110. Then Boston whole
sale merchant arose and said that if
he had money enough, about his per-
son to protect the girl the hair should
not be cut off. The contest was spir-
tied for half an hour, and finally the
Boston merchant paid down $3.50 and
Miss Smythe went home, wearing her
hair and happy because she had the
courage to make the sacrifice.
