MILLIONS or MELONS.
The Land Where the WateFmeloo Hs
the Call

the GAIL
Southern Georgia is the land of water
melons. Here the watermelon is king;
for here everybody believes in water
melons. The melon fields extend
from ten to a hundred acres. Vines
covering so to 60 acres of ground are not
an uncommon sight. Some growers
have cleared $4,000 on their watermelon
crops alone. Those who do not make a
speciality of watermelons have from Eve
to ten acres. This~cfeage will bring at
least $500, or at the rate Of $50 per acre.
The watermelok51lstrict in southern
Georgia extends ALT way from Thorn
asville, near the Florida line, to Albany.
These two places are headquarters of
the watermelon crop. although immense
quantities are shipped from the many
other stations in the district.
The melons are packed into car on
the side track, having layer Of pine
straw on the bottom Of the car. Those
Of regular size and shape form the lower
part of the pile, and those of irregular
size are put on top. When the Especial
melon train" comes along the car is
hitched on, and away it goes on it's two
days. journey northward, eide-tracdng
everything that gets in its way, even
passenger trains.
Each day for weeks car load after car
load of melons rolls over the railroads
leading into Jersey City. Each car, as
we have said, will hold about 1900 mel
ons, and when the melon trains dump
their shipments the big freight depots
present sights worth travelling across
town to behold. The striped and dark
green balloons are ranged in great piles.
Each pile belongs to some dealer, and
often bears his name. Although thou.
sands of melons come on each train load.
every one must be checked OF and COM
pared with the bin Of lading. OF course,
/ few melons are broken in transit, and
at the docks and depots you will find a
crowd Of gamins desperately begging
the longshoremen or the drivers for
broken bit: "Say, boss, Just t'row me
dat chunk-do, please" You will find
your colored brother eagerly eying the
beautiful melons, hoping against hope
that one stray melon might fall his way,
and only those who have seen the south
ern darby in watermelon time can APP
preciate his deepest feelings when he
sings:

NAVAL DISCIPLINE.


There q Les of r. Now xhan n 1tnAls
0one ~.
An American admiral tells : story Of
old-fashioned discipline in tho navy.
One day an oficer on . ship IN service In
foreign waters gave an order to one Of
the enlisted men. The sailor put his
arma behilad his back and declined to
obey the command. He was reported
to the commander without delay for In
subordination.
The commander had been warned by
the surly conduct Of other sailors that
the morale OF the crew was not what 1t
ought to be. He resolved 20 mako an
example OF the mans disobediencA and
ordered him to be confined below with
out food until be was ready to obey the
command.
Forty-eight hours passed without
signs Of surrender, but on the third day,
darkness, imprisonment and hunger
were irresistible. The mutineer begged
for mercy.
The crew were mustered on deck and
the insubordinate sailor was brought
up from the hold with gsunt face and
bent figure. The captain called upon
the officer whose command had not been
obeyed, to repeat the order in the pres
ence Of the crew. This was done, and
after long pause the eailor with hang
dog look sulkily obeyed. 49,
"Repeat the order" said the captain.
sternly, to the officer. ''It must be
obeyed cheerfully."
The order was renewed and the NUT
ineer, completely conquered, dashed on
to execute it.
''That win IL" said the captain. Nov
give him food, but bread and water only
for "a hours"
guard and allowed full ratious Of bread
and water. The next dsv he was put
on unrestricted diet, and no further
notice was taken of his o6ense until
the end Of week, when his health was
completely restored. Then the ships
crew was again mustered ON deck. The
sailors characterization was briefly de-
scribed. and he was dismissed from the
ship in Disgrace.
rigorous discipline. did you say!"
exclaimed the admiral to the listener,
who had commented upon his story.
There ought to be moro Of 1t in the
American navy to-day. The service IL
now conducted on sentimental princi-
pies, and men are forgetting how to
obey" is
The criticism may have been too
harsh, but tho declaration Is not infre-
quently made that discipline II too lax
in the United States navy. While the
White Squadron was recently anchored
at Southampton, previous to the Kiel
celebration, return was made one day

leave from the four ships. It wa~ 60 out

makes no wild boast, but he claims the

Chairman Hanna of the republican com

he claims everything He starts with
California and runs right straight across
the continent to Virginia. IN his boastful
claim all the fish are in his net lie even
claims North Carolina and puts Texas and
Missouri in the doubtful column. He does
coucede Alabama. Arkansas. Colorado and
Georgia to the democrats. but he is leary
about that OF course such claims as
Hanna makes are mere boasts. There is

pearance in view of Logtown. Meeting
with two women who had gone out for
wood, they killed and scalped them.
The number of the Creeks was said to
be two thousand. Capt. Smith proposed
to Gen. Colbert, that he Smith would
take the white men and Colbert the
Indians, and make n sortie upon them,
Colbert replied, that is what they want,
aud that, after drawing the men out of
the fort, they would get in and kill all
the women and children, and that it
was most proper in the first place to
take care of the fort. Nevertheless. n
party of Indians, being the kindred of
the two women who had been killed
rushed out They got among the Creeks
before they were seen by them, and
one OF the Chickasaws was killed. This
induced Capt Smith and Gen. Colbert
to fly to their relief With o small de.
tachment. The Creeks observing this
approach retired precipitately. carry,
ing with them the scalps of one man
and two women. There was much
blood in their trail and many arms
were left on the ground; it was be.
lieved that they suffered severely. The
Chickasaws thought that the Creeks
would not shortly again return to give
them disturbance, and were content
that Col. Mansco's troops should 20

June. The Creeks continued in the
vicinity till the first of June, killing
