OVER 100 DAYS OVERDUE.
A Missing Sea Captains Family I'm

able 10 Collect His Insurance.
Jacksonville, Fla. Aug. IAN odd feat
ure has developed in connection with the
reported loss of the schooner Nettie Lang
don, which has been missing from any
human intelligence for over one hundred
days. Capt. Bagley, it seems. was in
sured in the Knights of Honor for 5000,
but the management of the beneficiary
association has refused to make pay
ment to the heirs of the captain on the
ground that there is no evidence that he
is dead.
That there is no evidence that he is
dead is true. The Langdon left Jackson
vile about Easter and since that time
not only has she not been heard from,
but no plank, boat, spar or fragment has
been found of her along the coast. The
sea captains now in port at Fernandina
have held a meeting and will hold an
other tomorrow, al which the plan agreed
upon at the last meeting TO secure for
Mrs. Bagley of Fernandina the insurance
money, will be executed These captains,
as experts in navigation, will make afl-
davits before the county judge of Nassau
county, that in their opinion the Nettle
Langdon and her entire crew are lost
The underwriters long ago gave the vessel
up and paid the insurance upon the car
go
The Langdon was an unusually Inflated
vessel. She has been partially wrecked
three or four times before this last, and
in the disasters thousands of dollars have
been lost. She was bought when in a
badly damaged condition by DR.. John
c. LIngle of this city, who made her as
sound, almost, as she was when launched

THE COLT SHOW.
Washington County Is the Home of
Some Fine Stock.


Tennille, Washington County. Ga. Aug.
7-Washington countys summer colt show
has assumed the proportions of a stock
fair that would be creditable to the blue
grass region of Kentucky
The interest in bloodod stock has been
fostered by Mr.. George Gilmore, a pros
porous farmer in the northern part of
this county. There was on exhibit yester-
day of colts from a few months to three
years old. probably less than one hundred
in all. but plenty to show the interest the
farmers are taking in blooded stock Be
fore long the prosperous farmer will have
his farm supplied with blooded animals
that can turn up the soil or spin the wheels
OF gig or phaeton.
Some fine specimens of the Durock, Jer-
sey and Polan China hogs were on exhibit.
There is some complaint of miscellaneous
dealers. and there are those who are sus-
picious Of a hog with red hair, unless they
bear the prominent marks and are well
up in size for age; there were porkers in
the county last winter that weighed close
up to 400 pounds, which shows a decided
Improvement in the stock within a few
years. and the profits accrue to those who
have struck the proper breeds
The Jersey COW is finding favor in our
county too. Mr.. b. T. Rawlins had on
exhibit couple OF nne mixers and bull
Of the light Durham color. Their mild
eyes and symmetry are prominent marks
Of this light colorcd breed. There is a
dark or black specimen of the jersey in
this county also, and among these are to
be found the best mixers, some Welding
as much as six gallons of milk per day
Their owner has refused 500 each for

A CORNER IN ORANGES.
The Groves at Jamaica Leased for
Three Years by Al BOsOnian.

The Groves at Jamaica Leased for
Three Years by IA BOsOninn.
Jacksonville, Fla, Aug. THE British
steamer Jason, Capt. Frazier. will sail
from her tomorrow for Jamaica, carrying
a cargo of orange box material, and also
many expert orange pickers and packers
These orange pickers and packers are
the employees of Williams & Hubbard of
the Boston Fruit Company, which has
cornered the Jamaica orange crop for
three years 10 come. or until they expect
that the Florida trees will be in bearing
condition again, and knock out trust prices.
A shrewd piece of business was done by
this concern. The monied man of the
firm, and a business man thoroughly alive
to every point of vantage, hurried over to
Jamaica Immediately after the Florida
freeze and secured leases of a large num-
Der of bearing orange groves. These
leases were obtained for period of three
years.
The boxes on the Jason are his and will
be used in which TO pack the first part of
the crop, which will be ready for ship
ment in September. The beauty of the
orange groves in Jamaica is that they
bear two crops a year, one in September
and the other in March. They do not
bear as prolihcally at a time as the or
ange trees in Florida do, but in a year
produce fully as many oranges.
There is now on board the Jason enough
material to manufacture into $4,000 box
es. As soon as these are filed the Jason
will come back for more. She will prob
ably bring back on her return voyage the
first shipment of Jamaica oranges,
which, on account of their earliness,
ought to command fancy prices.

CENTRAL's RIGHT-OF-wAY.
The Fight over the Atlanta Claim
Now in Progress.

Now in Progress.
Atlanta, Ga. Aug. THE question Of the
ownership of what is regarded as the
present Central railroad right Of way was
taken up by the special commission APP
pointed under the act of the last legisla-
ture at the capitol to-day At the begin
ming of the hearing a statement of the
case was made by the attorneys for the
state and for the Central. which defined
the issues very clearly. The testimony
taken is in the interest of the petitioner,
which is the state of Georgia. The prop
erty involved in the case is very valuable
and the hearing is of special interest to
those interested in the Central railroad.
The Central railroad claims the property,
which is a strip of land running from
Forsyth to Lloyd streets in the heart Of
the city, and estimated TO be worth S100, 900,
under a deed given by Samuel Mitchell
10 the old Macon and Western railroad,
now the Central, as well as continuous
occupancy by the Central for over twenty
years. The state lays claim to it, however,
as a part of the Western and Atlantic rail-
road right of way covered by the original
survey on the map of that right of way
made in 1872, two years prior to the deed
10 the Macon and Western by Samuel
Mitchell. Attorney General Terrill and Col.
w. A. Little represent the states claim
and Lawton & Cunningham the Central
railroad.

Jacksonville, Fla. Aug. I'm the com

against his wife and vice versa, Special
Master Philips to-day reported to the cir

previous years was OF about leo ar
robes (250O pounds), hardly reckons
60 to 65 arrobes (l5O0 to 1925
pounds), aud this reduction is attri-
buted to the hurricane that passed
over the island in September and
caused large part OF the cane to
turn out hollow.
Amongst contracts recently closed
for rane, we hear of one that was
made at a price equivalent to S260i
cents per cart load OF $500 pounds
OF cane, or about q cents per pound
OF sugar. for which the planter
obtains to-day only LIS cents, the
diff renee against him being thus
one. half cent. This is not surpris.
ing, as many people, in spite Of al!
events, are convinced that a favora-
BILE reaction is to take place ere long
and will cause prices to advance
aga'n, till reaching, at least, last
years average rate, which fluctuated
between x to 3 cents per pound.

In Germany one very large fac

TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1896.
PLANTERS COLUMN.

Our attention has been drawn to
the fact that our Islands as a sugar
producing country are not properly
represented by the press, aud that
as everybody is more or less interest
ed in Sugar there ought to be col
umn in a leading Hawaiian news
paper devoted to this important
branch OF one OF our industries. We
quite agree with this sentiment and
shall hence!orth have an open col
umn for all parties interested in the
Sugar industry. Original contri-
buttons are very desirable, but also
clippings from other newspapers
abroad will be published il OF i'm
portance and interest to the COM
munity generally. The Planters
Monthly is for this purpose, but its
very name suggests Planters Daily
or Weekly as desirable. Very few
readers like to wait a month to have
the news. We therefore invite all
planters and plantation agents to
join us in our efforts.
ASCENSION.
The question of laborers' wages
has not yet been determined by gen
ersl agreement, and it is doubtful il
any universal scale will be adopted.
A majority OF planters, however, will,
in all probability, decide on paying
their best hands 60 cents per day,
though some have already announce
ed a maximum rate OF 80 cents.
WEST BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA.
With reference to wages to be
paid field labor it is now pretty we'll
agreed and understood that GO cents
per day for the best male and 40
cents for women represents respec-
lively the maximum and minimum
wages that will be paid in this parish
during the cultivating season. Some
planters advocate lower rate OF
wages-50 cents per day for men and
40, and even 30 for women,
LAFoURCHE.
At the prices that sugar has been
commanding there is no money for
the planter on his outlay, and if it
were not for the hope that better
prices will prevail hereafter many
would abandon the industry. As it
is, there are few who will not under
take to continue in the business,
hoping that a change in the situation
will make itself felt by the harvest
ing OF the present crop that is going
to be planted.
Economy will be the order OF the
day on plantations this season. The
wages of laborers have been scaled
to 40, 30 and GO cents per day.

The fourth of March is al
ways a gala day in Washington
on account of the gathering of
the clans. This time it is par
ticularly gala on account of
the change in the politics of a
majority in Congress. While
they have not the necessary
two-thirds majority to pass bills
over the Presidents veto they
can make it very interesting.
Legislation will probably be so
clogged through flllibustering
that the newspapersin the States
will spend the next six months
crying "Wolf."
