The lost is found. The bill to make a
constitutional amendment to give the
Governor the right to veto single items in
bills came 10 light yesterday. Senators
Stake and Urner were the pilgrims that
unearthed the lost document. Senator
UrDer was fully pursuaded that the bill
had been duly passed. so he wrote that
he would come on and make search for
it. He, accompanied by Senator Stake,
arrived yesterday. They visited first the
subterranean vaults OF the State House,
where piles of old bills are kept. These
were coDned over without result. They
then repaired to the Executive Chamber,
where the capable Secretary OF State
hauled cut letter from Secretary Pur-
nell of the Senate, remarking he suggest
ed q place TO look This was in the room
of the engrossing clerks of the Senate. -
Thither the two Senators, accompanied
by Secretary LeCompte, Messenger s w.
Brooks and Waterman Boucher went
Desks were examined, drawers were ran
sacked and private keys brought 10 use
to no purpose. In this room is a sort of
toilet desk. On the sides are receptacles
for books. On one end the receptacles ex-
tend two thirds width of the desk and be-
hind them is vacant space separated
from them by thin piece of veneering.
Everybody had locked in these alceyes,
Senator Stake included, when the latter
pecring down to look into drawer, he
saw sticking through crack In the far
end of the crack piece Of paper He
took hold and began to pull. Then watch
man Boucher gave the vcneering push.
It broke and fell, and out were drawn
the engrossed constitutional amendment
bill and the original copy as II passed the
General Assembly. The crack through
which the bills had been pushed by the
original hand that put it there, was too
small for the bills to get In accidentally
one by one, and showed by this there was
design in the rites of sculpture that had
been given this important measure =
Senator Urner observed that the one who
did it was looking far ahead. The bill
had been engrossed by Senator Stake and
had been partially described by him be.

the facts tailed. All the bill now needs
to make It law is for one more Of the

Governor is in favor of the measure the
probability is the act will be made law.

ATLANTA PLAYING GREAT BALL
ATLANTA, GA, May 2S-The Atlantas
hoped on to tho Columbus team this after
noon with both feet The score at the end
of the game was 10 to 0. The Atlantas
hatted Whitehurst freely, seading the ball
all over the out field, while the visitors
found Turner for only three safe hits.
Beach caught for the Atlantas without an
error. in fact the locals played an errorleSs
game. Bambush caught for the visitors.
Whitehurst pitched wildly. Wlckmiller
says that the only reason he can assign for
not winning the game is that his team could
not hit the ball. The Atlantas are playing
great ball. In two games they have shut
out their opponents, Augusta on Friday, by
a score of 81 to 0, and Columbus to-day, by
a score of Is 10 0. These are the only shut

PEACHES COMING IN.
The Crop Not Over One-Third What
1t Was Last Year.


The peach season opened at least FIVE
days earlier this year than it did last year.
Massrs Champion and Putzel, commission
merchants, received three crates each on
May q, and disposed of them at the rate of
IS per bushel The market dropped
off to So, and last Saturday they re-
ceived 3l9 crates, but were unable
10 get more than So on an average for
them. The fruit is larger and much nicer
than it was last season. and would bring a
better price If the supply was not greater
than the demand. Fruit dealers say that
Che quantity Of fruit shipped to this market
since the fruit season opened, is unprece-
dented. Savannah gets its peaches priuci-
pelly from points on the Central railroad
between here and Macon. The early fruit
season will close within the next ten DAYS.
and in about ten days afterward the regular
fruit season will open. This crop is not as
remunerative to the grower as the first
crop. However, late peaches find a ready
market here at from 81 to 81 % per bushel.
The crop was seriously damaged by the
March and April frosts, and it is estimated
that not over third Of crop will be gath

at the Masonic Temple tonight at s o'clock
The entertainment is sure to be largely at
tended by old and young. In the cultiva-
ton Of vocal music in the Sunday sch ools
there is a power of attractiveness greater
than any other influence at work for
winning and interesting the scholars. The
children love to hum a beautiful melody

commonplace air becomes a sweeter melody,
a purer harmony, when sung bv children
with their fresh, clear voices. A pleasing
feature of the entertainment Will be the

they march. The proceeds will be for the
bene!lt of the Wesley Monumental church.
