of to Walkerville to q dressmaker, leaving
the daughter at home to care for the Ia.

l6-year old son, was in the room when his
mother and sister were talking. He was
unconcernedly smoking cigarette. He
said that he knew Nothing about the case
and when his mother began to weep in.
differently he told her to stop her bawling.
When the lad was assured that hi6 fathers
injuries were not necessarily fatal he said:

Mrs. Stenberg said at first that she was |
asleep when the explosion occurred, and |
stated that she was in the act |
OF arising when she heard the report. She
dressed herself as quickly as possible and
rushed out. Agnes says that she was
awake when the explosion took place and

WATERPROOF Cloth for Hot Beds.

AS the season is approaching for the
construction of hot beds l will give you
little of my experience about making
waterproof cloth covers. Before the P.
& A. Railroad was constructed through
this county, all freight was brought by
wagon trains from Chattahoochee, over
twenty-five miles from Mariana. We had
freight wagons on the road and tried sew
eral methods of making the covers secure.
Linseed oil made them heavy, rotted the
cloth and proved expensive. Beeswax
and tallow did not rot nor break the
cloth, but would pull off in cold weather
and were heavy. The best we found was
to take brush and go over the cover
with light coat of melted lead. 1t ar
swered the purpose fully, and would do
the same for hot BEDS F. G. +.

Do not Glut the Market With Green
Oranges.

Do not Glut the Market With Green
Oranges.
In a recent issue of your valuable pa
per, you close an editorial with the fol
lowing words: 1.-THE markets will be in a
good condition to receive the Florida or
ange crop, and if discretion is used and
the market not glutted we are SAFE
This is the keynote to the situation,
and hope you will have more to say on
the subject. Last year in October and
November the market here was glutted
with green sour oranges (much of it
dropped fruit or sswind falls'') and the re-
suit was that many shipments did not
even pay the freight on them. The mark
ct did not recover from the evil effects of
the glut till the season was about half
over. Florida oranges that were held
back till March and April brought good
prices, though they came in direct compe-
tition with the bulk of the Italian and
California crops.
[ have made it a point to visit the
large fruit houses here, and see for my
self, and in the early part OF The season
have frequently heard the question from
customers, "Have you any sweet Flori-
da oranges?" And the answer would be
eve have not, it will be month ormore
before they are sweet But we have
Jamacias, Mexicans and Havanas that
are quite good.'
Later in the season when the Floridas
are ripe every one prefers them, for they
are the sweetest and best oranges in the
world. The September Bell and Early
Oblong are early ripening varieties, and
should take the place Of the foreign fruit
above mentioned, but very few of them
reach this market
The orange growers in the Northern
part of the State would do well to bud
their trees to those early ripening varie-
ties instead of growing late ripening vari-
eties and rushing them to market green,
to escape the frost.
Iwould like to speak of the dollar
box tariff on foreign oranges which | am
decidedly in favor of but will not take up
any more of your valuable space. Chi
cago is helping us secure better transpOr-
tation and Florida should help Chicago
get the Worlds Fair.

weather. In Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky
and Tennessee, all crops were improv-
ed by favorable weather, Corn is re-
ported in excellent condition. TObac-
co was improved in Ohio, but this crop
needs more sunshine in Kentucky.
In the central portion of the cotton
region, extending from Mississippi to
Georgia, the weather was more favor
able than that of the preceding
week. In New England and the Mid.
die Atlantic States the weather of the
week was generally unfavorable.
Throughout these sections the potato
crop has been seriously injured. The
fruit crop in New Jersey has been
largely reduced, and in New York the
hop crop has been damaged. All crops
were improved in Virginia by the fa-
vorable weather of the week. Corn is
reported in excellent condition in New

The case of Mrs. Maybrick IAN ac-
count of which is given on our first
page) has from its sensational features
attracted much attention both in this
country and England. The case is so
complicated as to excite sympathy in
her favor and cause numbers to believe
in her innocence. and many lawyers
and members of Parliament are Joining
in the effort to have her sentence CON-
muted. In this country she would
probably secure a new trial, but this is
not allowable in England. She is an
American and a niece of jeff. Davis.
Maybrick was a rich man and had lived
a considerable time in Brooklyn, L. l.,
where they were both somewhat prom
inent socially. After going to England
some months ago Mrs. Maybrick was
detected under compromising circum-
stances with man she had known in
this country, and the husband, it was
stated, had arranged to secure a Gi-
vorce from his wife. He was however
taken ill before proceedings were
underway, and after much suffering
died. The circumstances of his death
and the quantities of ansenic found
about his room and about Mrs. MAY.
bricks apartments aroused a suspicion
that led to a post mortem examination
and arrest and trial.

There will be an enormous shortage
Of wheat in Europe this year, and
Austria and Hungary will fall short at
least 60,000,O00 bushels. Russia will
also have very short crop, and reports
from India show the same condition of
affairs in that country. Therefore
Europe will have to look to America
for supply of breadstuifs. and it is
fortunate for the United States that the
crop in the west is so large that we will
have not only sufficient to make up for
any shortage in the Eastern States, but
also, a surplus which will place this
country in condition to supply the
world. For while it was feared that
the crop in the northwest would prove
a failure, but the result has proved
different. Consequently the farmers
OF that section will be enabled to make
large shipments abroad, for which thev
will receive good returns.

A NOTICEABLE decline has taken
place in the last week in the sugar
trust stock. The Philadelphia Press in
noting this says:
There are a few signs that the sugar
syndicate is going the way of the
copper syndicate. A great many people
will not be sorry. An attempt to
corner a staple commodity is not a
movement likely to endear the public
and an advance of 60 per cent in the
price of an article in hourly use in all
families can hardly be made a popular
measure. About all the public knows
about the sugar syndicate is that it
marked up the price of sugar. and if
the failure Of the enterprise will mark
it down again very few people will be
alarmed or sad. People interested will
no doubt think this hasty and unwise
view, but when they ponder over the
advance and hasty profits of the sugar
syndicate the conclusion must be that,
if there is danger of downfall, it is from
a greed of profits by cOrnering a staple
article
