Glut of WatermelOnS.

The profitable wear CT 1882 to watermelon
growers in the South proved an incentive 10
plant this year an immsn acreage of the
fruit, more especially in Georgia. The con-
sequence has been an immense crop. ard the
entire country is flooded. Last week fully 225,-
600 melons arrived in the New York market, a
quantity without precedent. The bulk have
been shipped bv rail TO Savannah and thence
by steamer. The freight by rail is SOS per car
load, and they will run from 1000 to 100 in
car; but, with the shrinkage in transporta-
ton and rehandling. they will hardly average
1000, which makes the cost of freight about
$40 per 100. Strictly fancy large selected
melons would sell at probably SIS and $50
per 100. bu, for average lots as they run II
is difficult IL exceed $40 and Sl2 per 100.
which is barely cost of freight, and small ones
have had to be forced out at So and IS per
100, The consequence has been that New
York receivers are refusing to accept their
consignments, and large lots are sold for ac
court of the transportation companies.
Some twenty carloads. OF over 10000
melons, were shipped by special train to Nor
folk and thence by old Dominion Steamship
Co., arriving in New York, and all had to
be sold for account of the Steamship Co., the
consignees refusing to take them. Another
very large lot, 90 car loads, or over $4,000
melons. originally shipped to CINCINNATI,
but finding that market overstocked and no
chance to get the freight out, were ordered To
New York, and arrived at Jersey City. The
owners tried nearly every receiver but failed
to find anyone who was willing to take the
risk of handling, the freight being $4,000, and
the Pennsy lvania Railroad Co. were compelled
to order them sold on their own account to
get out of them what they could. 1t is doubt
full if they realized over half of the freight,

No Spots There.

1t began 10 rain again soon after dinner
yesterday, and disgusted citizen who came
down on n Woodford avenue car beside an
old man, remarked;
II presume this is owing TO those spots on
the sun"
"Hey?" called the other as he put his
hand to his ear.
"Spots on the sum- yelled the other.
"Hey? Spotsg Where are the spotsy"
"0n the sun"
The old man rose up, crossed the car, and
looked out of the window, and squinted
around for minute, and then returned and
said:
Cant see the sun tai. How did the spots
come therep'
Il don't know"
Hey?
IL don't know"
''Have you seen emp
"No."
'Gou have, eh?"
IL said no"
'Oh, you haven't? What was your OBJ
ject in telling me there were spots on the
sun? am not so old that permit any one
to make a fool of met
The other now looked out of the window
and assumed a careless air, but the old man
was right after him with:
You come into car when am minding
my own business and begin to talk about
spots on the sun. Who are you, sir2 Did
YOU want to get me up to pick my pocket?"
"They say the rainy weather comes from
the spots on the sun" exclaimed the other.
"Who says so? Name the man! I'm
around all the time, and haven't heard of
any spots on the sun! If you think you can
work any game on me you are badly soldl'
The citizen got up to change his seat, but
the old gent pulled him down and said
"You wanted to work some sort OF game
on me, and know it. II | ever catch you
within a rod of me again I'll tie you up in a
knot in two minutes! I'll put spots on you
till you can't sleepr'
The citizen made break and got out, and
though he had no umbrella, he dropped Off
in the midst of the rain with the look of a
man glad to make the exchange. He had
just reached the curb when the old man came
to the platform and called out:
Took me for greenhorn, did you? |

Gaudaloupe Elwe X ais vs.. Thomas Cunning
ham a ais. This case was on trial when the Jour
nal went to press last week 1t occupied the greater
portion of two days. The action was to recover
possession Of 100 acres of land in the oWn Of North
port. The suit was brought in the name of Elwcll
heirs but it is generally understood to be the suit
of Mrs. Sarah y. Preston The case has been before
the courts six years, the plaintiffs having been non
suited five times, and has become notorious for the
persistency with which Mrs. Preston has urged it,
Regularly at each term for years Mrs. Preston has
been seen haunting the Court House until she has
become familiar to the Court Bar and public.
Briefly the case is this: Jonathan Eiwel, senior,
the progenitor Of all the Elwes in this vicinity,
settled in NOrthport in $780, where he bought large
tracts of land, receiving his deeds from Gen Knox.
He had three sOns-Joshua, Jonathan and Robert.
In 1903 the father deeded the portion OF land in
dispute TO Robert, his son, then minor In 1919
Robert decided the land to his brother Joshua, who
died unmarried BY his will Joshua devised the
land to his sister, Mrs. Cunningham, and she to her
children, the defts. The deed given to Joshua in
1Sl5 was produced in court The one to Robert in
1903 cannot he found but Mrs. Preston was allow

While FANORlTE REMEDY is Il specific in Kid
