Georgia's Peach Crop a Failure

The peach crop in Georgia will be al
most complete failure this year. The
orchards OF Houston County, which last
year brought in a revenue Of $3.50, 600,
will this year do little more than sup
assigned for the failure-the late frosts
and the fact that the immense crop of
last year broke down and exhausted the
trees. In Thomas County, which is the
next greatest fruit center of the State,
the peach crop is failure, but pears
will be in abundance.

A Cloud-Burst in South Carolina.

A dispatch from Hampton County, S.
c., gives an account of devastating
cloud-burst that swept large section
of that county. The wind and hail were
fearful, and the crops were literally
divested of every leaf. The fields are
perfectly bare in many places. Not
more than half crop can be made
Yawning gullies are in every undulat-
ing place. 1t is impossible to estimate
the damage done. Some idea can be
formed of the rain from the fact that the
next day the water was three feet deep
where it was perfectly dry the day be-
fore. Old men say that they have never
seen such rain and havoc before. The
bridges have all fioated off, and the
roads are blockaded by fallen trees.

which approprates $4,000 for the purchase
of 4 site for a new state Prison and for the
erection of the necessary prison buildings.
The coming prison. as our readers are aware Is
destined to supcrScde the one AT sing sing
Last wear a law was passed, in virtue OF which
the Governor appointed commission charged
with the duty of selecting ga suitable site in
any of the counties east Of the \lth Judicial
District upon which site there shall be erected
y State Prison for the reception and incarceia'
ton Of convicted criminals, TO take the place
Of the present State Prison in the town OF
Ossining WcStchcstcr County" The com
mission was directed 10 report TO the present
Legislature and did report in January, recon-
mending that the new prison be located at
Esopus Ulster County.
No sooner was the decision of the commission
made public than two facts were developed ;
first. that practically everybody in Ulster took
unkindly to the proposition to establish prison
in that county. and second, that good many
Sing Sing people were unwilling to see the
prison in that village abandoned. The burden
of the Ulster protest is that State Prison Is
an undesirable acquisition for any eounty. see
ing that whatever pccunlary benefit 1t confers
| directly or indirectly is Ovcrbalanced iy the
! evil Influences which it brings with il and the
UNPLEASANT odor which it gives to the name OF
the place containing it. Tho citizens of Sing
Sing are divided 4 TRIBUNE reporter, who
interviewed a number Of them several weeks
ago found that some are most anxious to get
rid of the prison. regarding II as decided OBJ
stacle in the path Of the villages prosperity,
while others look upon the institution as one
of the feeders of the local prosperity. With
these considerations the public at large have
| little concern But there is a serious objection
J to Esopus, and it comes home to the people
of this town Just now with much force. Siatis-
tics show that large prOporion-upward OF
! twO-thirds-Of the criminals who are confined
at Sing Sing are sent there from this town
II is most desirable therefore, that if Sing Sing
is 10 be abandoned the prison that takes il
place should either be placed nearer to New
! York than Esopus is, or else that provision
sbouId be made for the substantial reduction
Of the rates which the Sheriff is now allowed
to charge for the transportation of prisoners.
The bill providing for the abandonment OF
Sing Sing passed the last Legislature with
hardly dissenting voice, a fact that indicates
that a new prison is to be regarded as one OF
the coming institutions of the near future.
There is no fault to be found-outside of Ulster
County-wth Esopus except that it is so far
away. But certainly no ono who has followed
the recent investigation will look with favor on
