OUR PEACH CROP.
SOME FIGURES ABOUT 1T THAT
ARE INTERESTING.
Not Over 800 Cars Were Shipped From
Georgia, Although $500 Cars Was


The peach crop is now one of the
things of the past The last shipments
were made last week. Most of the peach
es being gathered now are sold to the
manufacturers of cider and brandy, and
to the canning factories
1t is interesting to look back and Sc e
lust what was done.
The crop was undoubtedly the largest
ever known, but at the same time it is
believed that the crop has been general
ly overestimated The estimates early
in the season, when The green fruit was
bearing down the trees, were that about
$500 cars would be shipped. The ship
ments, however, have not borne out the
estimates, though the fruit growers have
handled an enormous crop, and are we'll
satisfied with the seasons profits.
The total shipments of peaches from
Georgia this year will not be more than
from 200 to 1900 cars, while but lit
tie more than half of these al e from the
Fort Valley section. Between $50 and
500 cars have been shipped from Fort
Valley says Mr.. A. B. Connally, prom
inent railroad man who has spent the
season in the fruit belt, and from 25O to
500 from MarshalYille, making total of
between 700 and 800 cars shipped direct
" from the fruit growing section on the
Southwestern railroad. The orchards
in the eastern and southwestern parts of
the state contributed considerable to the
result, and altogether, it is thought, the
total shipments will aggregate about the
figures mentioned above.
Some of the early cars brought as high
as 81, 800 to $4,000, while the average
throughout was about IS cents per
crate, or about $500 per car net to the
shipper.
The eastern people took most of the
fruit, and fully three-fourths of
the cars shipped went to New York and
the eastern markets.
The two first cars of canned fruit ship
ped from that section to the nOrh and
east lett Fort Valley last week. The
canned fruit consisted mostly of peaches,
but there Vas good many blackberries
among them. These two factories will
ship between forty and fifty cars this
season. 1t is a growing industry and
there is an increasing demand for cam
ed fruit.
There has been better demand Cor
the Georgia peach This year than there
has been for either those of California
or Delaware. Wherever it is found it
is always at the top of the market, and
it commands the best prices.

Here's One.

Georgia is state for fish and snake
stories, but here is one from Valdosta to
the Constitution that beats the whole
layout:
John Gadsden, colored, killed a rat
tlesnake near Poor ROBIN, on the Savan-
nah river, last week, that had twenty
nine rattles and button And speaking
of snakes, the strange looking serpent
th1t was seen by party of deer hunters
over IN the fork of Brier creek and Sa-
vannah river, last winter, has been seen
again. On account Of the description
given it at first it is known as the silver
serpent. It's scales were white and glis-
tened to the sun like shining silver. 1t
is said to be any where from fifteen to
twenty feet long, and is generally seen
in trees. The two fishermen who last
saw it say that its body has grown dark
er, but the head was so dazzling as to
hurt the eye. Its neck was arched over
the limb of tree, and as the rays of
the morning sun fell upon it they count
ed sixteen shining silver scales upon it's
head, land, more gorgeous still, right in
the center of these they saw a single
scale of yellow cast that shone and
glittered like FURNISHED gold.

Argentina has been making great
strides in the shipment of live cattle to
Great Britain. In 1891 % live beeves
were shipped from the South American
republic to England For the first five
months of 1895 the number has been
1875, besides 1874, 531 sheep. An aver
age profit per head of certainly not mote
than So is realized on these animals,
owing to cost Of freight and feed and at

South American beef is not fit to eat at

of her cattle in England The meat is
not nearly so good as that from the

which some butchers believe is owing
to the animals having been fed on al
falfa. But North American beef is fed

THE NAUGHTY LITTLE GIRL.

She is homely. She is tricky;
And / am greatly grieved to tell,
Her hands are always sticky
With chocolate carOmel.
Her dolly's battered features
Speak of many frantic curl,
She's the terror of her teachers
That naughty little girl.
She can whoop like a Comanche,
You can hear her round the square;
FuIther-like an Indian she
Often creeps and pulls my hair.
And she steals into my study,
And she turns my books a-whirl
And her boots are always muddy
That naughty little girl.
She dotes upon bananas,
And she smears them on my knees;
She peppers my havanas,
And delights to hear me sneeze.
Yet-why, [ can't discover
Spite of every tangled girl,
She's darling, and love her,
That naughty little girl.

DEATH IN KISSES.
The Practice Oescrib I'd as Vicious Bar
barrie and Vile

There were 1882 deaths in Chicago
during the month of July, according to
the bureau of public health. With the
monthly report was this advice:
"Do not let others kiss you lndiscriml
nately, and never without first wiping
your lips with carbolized rose water and
thoroughly drying them"
This is a chunk of wisdom from DR..
Frank W. Reilly, pathologlst, bactero'o
giSt, meteorologist, archaeologist and
erstwhile editor.

Reilly said

get consumption"
"What is your opinion of kissing, doc
tor?'
"Vicious, intolerable, barbaric and
vile. This question has been my hobby
for long time, and l have studied its
results. / knew a consumptive preacher
down in Nokomis who made practice of
kissing his flock every Sunday. The
mortality in the village increased p per
cent. in one year. and when ] left there
half the members of the congregation
were leaning against the fence for sup

SUICIDE NO SIN.
A Kansas Man Makes Some Sport in His
Last Epistle,

Last Epistle,
An unknown man, whose name is
thought co be Frank Rogers, committed
suicide at Topeka and made merry over
his act. In a vest-pocket memorandum
book, correctly spelled and we'll written,
was found note in which he said: Il
really Isee no use in trying to struggle
against fate. | think l will shuttle the
mortal coil and see how pair of wings
will affect my equilib. What a nice sub
ject my stiff will be for doctor. Is a
man a coward who ends his own exist
ence? Some say so, but just try and see.
Is it a sin to do so? do not think so,
in some cases-this one, for instance.
Will see you later, say about judgment
day. Will that suit? Well, that is all. :"
He had evidently signed his name
and address to the note and then erased
it. On the top of the next page of the
note book was written in the Morse al
phabet: "My name is Mud" His home
was evidently IN New York.

VOICES OF THE BELLS.

Listen to the Christmas bells -
While all the world is praying,
They are pealing, swelling, telling,
And this is what the bells are saying:
We are the voices of vedas and sagas
We are the tongues of prophet and priest,
We are the lips of the sibilant sleepers
Who dreamed Of a star in the purple east
Hard by the gates of the mystical morn
When the Christ was born.
We are the prayers Of the wandering magi
On Syrian deserts all level and lone,
We are the chorus of Judean shepherds,
We are the notes that from heaven were blown
From the golden throat of an angels horn
When the Christ was born.
We are the teerdrops of grief and Of sorrow,
We are the echoes of yesterdays pain,
We are the jubilant voice of tomorrow
Lo, peace on earthl Let thy good will reignl
So our lips break silence on Christmas morn
When the Christ was born.

THE ILLNESS OF GRESHAM.
President CleveIand's ANXIETY to Keep
AmerIcanism Ont of sight.


WASHINGTON, May 4. - The serious
illness of Secretary Gresham has
thrown the entire charge of the Nicara-
guam affair into the hands of President
Cleveland, and therefore no one can
expect any turn towards Americanism
In the policy. The president will sure
ly not let Assistant Secretary Uhl take
charge of this Central American
trouble, because he fears some patriot
ism may be injected into 1t. The pres
ident remembers how, when the secre-
tary of state was Ill before and the
Alliafica was fred upon, Mr.. Uhl acted
the American and sent that noted dis
patch to Spain demanding immediate
apology. A burnt child breads the fire,
Mr.. Cleveland is not going to let Mr..
Uhl send any more dispatches. The
matter. therefore. rests in charge of
Mr.. Cleveland on this side and Mr..
Bayardsin London, and England viii
now have no fear.
The serious turn in Secretary Gres-
hams illness will necesSitate his abb
sence from the state department for
weeks. 1t was his desire to be at his
desk again when he was sick last time
that caused this setback. The doctors
are now saying that Mr. Gresham will
be obliged to take long rest. Yester-
day his trouble was complicated by
passing gall stone, and the greatest
care is being exercised to keep him
quiet and removed from any annoyance
or anxiety.

THEY ALL LEAN TO STEVENSON.
The vIce-PresIdent Possibly the Next Pres

The Vice-PresIdent Possibly the Next Pres
IdentiaI Candidate.
WASHINGTON, May 3.-The anti-silver
men having mostly abandoned all
hope of stemming the silver torrent,
prudent democrats are now solicitous
to have the party nominate as its
presidential candidate a thoroughly
representative democrat of ability
and character, a man of national repu-
tation il not shining talents. Steven
son is still more discussed than any
other. Morrison is probably out of if.
The issue being virtually settled, peo-
pie discuss the man to represent il.
Except Bland. an impossible presis
Dental candidate, no one overshadows
another as silver's representatives in
the democratic party. The only fear
of judiciOus men is that in the dearth
of greatness an injudicious choice may
be made. stevenson, they say here, is
popular with the labor element; he is a
liberal-minded employer on a large
scale; is better liked by capitalists than
a mere doctrinate' would be, because he
is manufacturer and a man of affairs.
The political class proper lean to Stew
enson. He viii be the leading man in
the race, it is agreed by common con-
sent, il he does not delay too long a
decedided expression on the views he
has long entertainee.

THE FEE BILL
Killed in the Senatc-SynOpsIs OF the
Debate on the Measure.


Killed in the Eenatc-SynOpsIs OF the
Debate on the Measure.
Nashville, May 4.-There will be no
reduction of the fees received by nounty
officers at this SESSION of the general
assembly unless a radical change of sem
timent comes over the senate. Many of
the lobbyists who have been here from
other counties are SO sure that nothing
further will be done toward cutting off
their emoluments that they have gone
home.
When the Jeffries bill to reduce fees
was taken up the opponents of the
measure at once began to shoot in their
amendments, but as fast as they were
read they were laid on the table.
Mr. Thompson said the people were
anxious for such a reform.
Mr.. Sims said, as far as he could find
out. the people were opposed to it.
Mr. Ledgerwood attacked the bill.
These fees, he said, cost the Taxpayers
not cent. The litigant paid them all.
Men were entitled to the same amount
of money for the same work every
where. and under this bill they would
not get it. If they wanted reform why
didn't they cut the fees in half, and
then see what would be done? The
officers in small counties had time TO
loaf, fish and run farms, while in big
counties they were kept busy and shonld
be paid accordingly.
Mr.. Carson was opposed to the bill. 1t
was not true reform.
Mr.. Bates said the history of the State
showed some of it's greatest mon work
ing for smaller salaries than officials
now received at the same positions.
Mr.. Broderick was for reform, and
there should be a reduction all along
the line. The bill as it stood was not
constitutional, but the salaries should
be stipulated and include the judges as
well.
Mr.. Beene was opposed to the bill on
general principles, but would offer to
amend by providing that in all judicial
circuits having city of not less than
$4,000 the attorney general be allowed
an assistant. Ruled out of order.
Mr.. Sims moved the previous question
on the bill and the amendment. The
call was sustained, and the amendment
was rejected.
AS amended, the bill was rejected by
the following vote:
Yeas-Messrs. Bates. Caldwell, Cooper,
EARLY, Freeman, Hodges, Jeffries, Shin
au1t, Rhodes, Stovall, Thompson, Whit
thorne, Weakley, Speaker Pillows.
Nays-Messrs. Bartlett, Butler, Beene,
Bowman, Broderick. Canada, Carson,
Ellis, Fitzgerald, Ledgerwood, Morgan,
Newsom, Scales, Sims, Smith, Taylor
and Winbourne.-E
Absent-Messrs. McCarron and Webb.
A motion to reconsider the vote was
tabled, thus killing all fee legislation
this year.
Mr.. Newsom's resolution to buy bonds
with the surplus in the State treasury
was debated at same length and then
tabled-yeas IL, nays 10.
During the debate Mr.. Whitthorne
said he would never vote cent to the
centennial.

PALMETTo's LEGAL BATTLES.
Hearing Involving the COnstItutIonaiity OF
the State ReRistratiOn Laws.

hearing involving the COusGitutlonaLty or
the State ReRIstratiOn Laws.
COLUMBIA, S. c., May 4.-The hearing
in the important injunction case in
volving the constitutionality of the
South Carolina registration laws and
constitutional convention act, was con-
tinued yesterday. Mr.. C. A. Douglass
for the complainant made powerful
argument, starting at 10 o'clock yester-
day and continuing till 4:1O p. M, with
a recess for dinner. He riddled the
laws with legal shot from no end of
authorities. Mr.. George S. Mower then
began and completed his argument for
the state, which was simply citation
of authorities. Judge Golf interrupted
him many times with pertinent ques-
tions, indicating that his mind is pretty
clear on the case. The general idea
now seems to be that the decision is
going to be against the state. Three
more arguments consuming four or FIVE
hours are to be made today. The case
will scarcely be concluded till this
evening. The dispensary case will not
be reached until Monday.
