ST. PAUL ASHORE.
The Great American Liner on
The Long Branch Beach.
MAY STAY SOME TIME.
THE STEAMSHIP RAN ON A BA r
DURING A HEAVY FOG, EARLY
SATURDAY MORNING

The handsome new American
line steamship St. Paul. Captain
]. c. Jameson, went ashore of
East Long Branch. n. J., early
Saturday morning in a dense
fog, while bound in for New
York.
It is claimed the St. Paul and
cunardar, Campania, were racing
but be that as it may, the ST.
Paul is hard on the beach, and
the assistance of many powerful
ocean tugs have not been able to
get her in deep water.
Workmen are now removing
the cargo and hope by lighting
her, to get her off at the first high
tide.
The Campania also got aground
but managed to get off without
assistance. And now someone
will have to explain just why
the St. Paul should undertake
the overland route to New York.

sides the Almanac features, con-
talus a memorandum sheet for

1t was probably never more
important than it is at present
for the South to reduce the acre
age of its cotton crop for 1896,
and devote increased attention to
the production of foodstufs.
One more year of abundant food
crops and reduced cotton acreage
would put the South forward to
a wonderful extent, while short
food supply and large cotton
crop would result in serious in
jury to all Southern business in
terests. Outside of the ordinary
conditions which would make
this important, the prevailing
war fever throughout the world
emphasizes its necessity. Should
there be war in Europe or
America, cotton would quickly
feel the effect and prices decline,
while foodstuff of all kinds would
command the highest prices.
To all reasons which in years
past have been advanced for
special attention to the produce
ton of grain, fruits, vegetables
and provisions, and less atten-
ton to cotton, is this year added
the worldwide unrest and the un-
fortunate prospect for war i'll
Europe, which would seriously
and quickly lessen the market
value of cotton. Increase the |
acreage in foodstuffs should bel
