wATERMELoNs AT ORLANDO.
Grapes will Be on the Market in 8
Few Days.


Orlando Fla, May s. The dealers and
vineyardists are already receiving the
first consignments of grape baskets for
the early Niagara white grapes There
was no frost here during the latter part
of the winter months or in the spring.
AS consequence, the vines brought for
ward many very early fruit buds, and at
the time when most of the bloom was out
there was considerable quantity of
early fruit in which the individual
grapes were as large as garden peas. This
earliest fruit will probably ripen inside
of a month, thus enabling the vineyard
lists of this section TO give the outside
world some very early and very choice
grapes Owing to the uniformly pleasant
weather of the early spring, the bloom
of the grape vines did not all
along over period of fully six weeks.
This will prolong the shipping season and
relieve the growers from the rush which
would come il the fruit was all to ripen
at the same time. Orlando is the
center Of the Niagara white grape in
terest Of this section of Florida. It was
here that this variety was first tested
and proven in this subtropical portion of
the state, where no grape had proven sue
cessful before. There are now about 400
acres of bearing vineyards in this i'm
mediate vicinity, and the industry
promises to be one Of the most profitable
of any in this part of the state Ordi-
narily the grapes do not ripen until to-
ward the latter part of June. This year

THE CENTRAL SECTION.

"In the central section some cotton is
not yet up in consequence of the drought,
but that which is up is looking fairly we'll
and is being chopped. Wheat has the
rust, the ground in most places being very
dry.
Cotton in East Georgia is nearly all
ready for chopping. Much of the sea
island variety has already been chopped
out. The stands of cotton are only fair.
In the southern section the dry
weather mas retarded the growth of corn
and cotton although the corn crop has
done finely. Unless this section is visited
by good rain during the coming week it
is thought the oat crop will be almost a
complete failure. Cotton is in very good
stand, although cotton planted late has
failed to come up. The crop is about half
chopped OUT
DRY weather has prevailed in the
outheasternscounties, and the growth of
crops has been slow. Cotton is in fair
condition, almost all chopped out and
with favorable weather in the future an
average yield is assured"

the State Tell of Drought.
Atlanta, Ga, May S.-The weather
crop bulletin for the week ending to-day
says: 1.-The past week has been the
warmest of the year Temperature of
90 to 90 has been of frequent occurrence
in all except the extreme northern coun-
ties. In few localities has serious damage
yet been occasioned by the deficiency of
rainfall, but the ground is getting very
dry and if the drought is not broken in a
week much injury will result.
ION fully half the plantations of North
west Georgia cotton and corn are gener-
ally up in good stands.
The cotton crop is suffering from
drought in the northeast sections. Some
of that which is most advanced is dying
for want of rain, while that planted later
cannot come up in the parched earth. In
consequence the farmers have not yet
succeeded In getting good stand in their
cotton fields.

Their Conference.
Memphis, Tenn, May s.-The general
conference of the Colored Methodist
Episcopal church was called to order at
the usual hour this morning. A visiting
delegate offered an appropriate prayer,
after which Bishop Lane, of Jackson,
Tenn, took the chair and presided
throughout the session.
Secretary Hamilton then read the min =
utes of the fifth days proceedings, which,
after some discussion, were finally
adopted.
A general discussion then took place as
to the advisability of reducing the dis
tricts over which the presiding elders
were to have jurisdiction. For awhile
the discussion was interesting, and some
good arguments were presented A vote
was finally called for, and it was unani-
mously decided to allow the number to
remain as heretofore, as no sufficient rea-
son was advanced that would warrant a
change.
A letter was then read by the secretary
from Prof. Saunderson, in charge of Lane
University, at Jackson, Tenn, reporting
the labors of the Quadrennial term. The
letter gave interesting information con,
corning the new building now being
erected at jackson, to be known as the
