CRAZY JUDGES.

The President ought OF hurry up
that appointment of judge for the
Federal court in the eastern district of
this State. Almost all the Judges have
been half crazy over it ever since Judge
Seymour died. Court after court has
been finished up" in three days, two
days, and several in one day to give the
judge presiding chance to run up to
Washington City and look after his
chances.
The President may not know it, but
he has been keeping North Carolina
judges on the run from their duty t.
look for that appointment.

FARMERS BRIGHr PROSPECTS.
Everything Points to Big Crops and
PrOkperous Times.

That the farmers of Georgia are better
off financially this season and enjoy bet
ter prospects for good crops and good
prices than they have for a long while,
was proven by the meeting Of the Geor-
gia Horticultural Society which met here
this week. This is what men who are in
positions to know say, ana their opinions
are expressed with a confidence that in
spires belief.
Several of the members of the horticul-
tural society while in Savannah talked of
the agricultural conditions throughout the
state. and their statements were such that
a general deduction of prosperity might
be made.
The hortculturists who attended the
convention represented all sections of the
state and many of them are engaged in
agriculture as well. They are familiar
with the conditions of the farmers in all
the sections, some from observation and
some from themselves being farmers.
While some localities are reported as being
the worse for adverse conditions OF the
weather from time to time, such reports
are in the minority and the usual verdict
is that good times are well in sight.
Mr.. r. p. Johnson, who is extensively
engaged in horticulture near Smithville,
SicdhS Ncll AOI llAe ltOplt VI A4CG NOOilN
"Yes, the farmers in my section are bet
ter off now than I have known them to
be for long time. There are several
reasons that may be assigned for this,
some resulting from natural causes and
others from the good management eXer>
cised by the farmers themselves. Crops
are good, and, to begin with, something
that eXerts moral influence, complaints
that, on this account, harrow the farmers
minds and keep them in a state of men,
tai distress, are not heard. Freed from
this daily view and nightly thought OF
the earths poor returns for their
work, the farmers are able to
look ahead more joyfully and to anticipate
a good financial return for the produce OF
their lands.
The division of sun and rain have been
beneficial to the crops and have brought
about, with the systematic and encour-
aged work of the farmers, the product
of a fine yield. Debts are not overhanging
the farmers to the extent that they often
do and they do not have to contemplate
al their money going towards the lqui-
datiOn of their debts. This decrease in
the credit business in Lee county is due
to the farmers having used less fertiliz-
ers this year. Many of them got their
fertilizers on time and the payment of the

RICE PROMISES A BIG YIELD.
August storms the Only Thing the
Planters Fear Now,

With no storm during the next thirty
days the rice planters will be a happy
set of men. The prospects for a large
crop now are splendid. The harvest water
is on and the rice is heading up. Rice
men say they have never seen finer
looking crop and everything promises well
for a good yield.
The hot weather Of the last few weeks,
which has made life a burden to every
one else. has filed the souls of the rice
planters with joy. They knew that it
meant fine rice and plenty of it, if con-
tinued long enough. The crop is now as
sured, and the only thing they have to
fear is the annual August storms. These
storms usually come between Aug 81 and
Sept. 5. If the storm is delayed until
Sept L the planters can snap their fin
gers. Their rice will all be harvested by
that time.
The rice area in this section is 10 to 10
per cent. greater than last year So far
the Dingley tariff has had no perceptible
effect in increasing prices, though new
rice which is now being received at New
Orleans, is bringing half cent more than
was offered for old rice. It is usual for
new rice to bring better prices, however.
There IS no stock on hand here now and
the new rice should bring good prices.

POPS LAYING THEIR PLANS.
CHAIRMAN CUNNINGHAM PREDICTS
GREAT THINGS.

lie says the Party Is Stronger In
Georgia Than 1t Has Ever Been.
Democrats Have FizzIed, Republic
cans Are Going to and Then the
PopuIists VIII Have Everything
Their own Way.
Mr.. John D. Cunningham, chairman Of
the populst party in Georgia, was in at
tendance upon the recent meeting Of the
state Horticultural Society. Mr.. Cunning
ham is one Of the most successful fruit
growers in Georgia. He may be little
off in his politics, but he has no whiskers
for the wind to blow through, and other
wise looks and dresses like a successful
business man.
Mr.. Cunningham does not even acknowl-
edge that he is off in his politics. To a
Morning News reporter he said yesterday:
THE popuist party is stronger in Geor-
gia and in the country to-day than ever
before. Don't you let these democratic
newspapers fool you. There has been lots
Of talk about middle of the road populists
and Watson and Butter and all that, but
that only goes to show the life that is in
the party. II s BOOq nedltuy sign Wnen
We are able to scrap among ourselves.
At the next election we win all get to-
gether, adopt our platform and sweep the
state. The populist partys chances. ma
tionally speaking, are better than they
have ever been The way l look at it is
this. The republican party is going to
make a izzle Of it. The republicans are
not going to do anything with the fnan-
cial question except, perhaps to increase
the powers and privileges of the national
banks. The people are already dissatls-
fed. as all elections held since McKinley's
Inauguration show. The democratic party
made the worst kind of a fzzle during the
four years which it had charge of the gov
ernment. The people want something else
besides failures and unkept promises. and
for that reason they will turn to the popu-
list party I'm 1900.
Mr. Cunningham said that he is no But
Ter man. and he predicted that at the next
general meeting of the executive commit
tee of the party the place now held by the
senator from North Carolina will be filed
by someone else.

MAY MEAN ARMS FOR CUBA.
Talk OF FiIibustering Along with the
TOVvbOat War.

1OWDOaN w ut.
There is little new In the towboat war.
Mr.. w. F. McCauley, secretary and treas
urer of the Propeller Towboat Company,
returned yesterday from Brunswick and
Jacksonville, where he went a few days
ago to look over the situation, and consult
the owners of the established towboat
companies of both ports He declined to
discuss the plans for the fight between
the established company's and the Bris-
toll company. Nothing definite, he said,
had been decided upon.
A good many people think that the ex-
citement over the towboat war will end
in a gigantic flibustering expedition, in
which the tugs Dauntless. Alexander
Jones and the steamer r. L. Mabey will
be concerned.
1t is evident that the government has
some suspicious regarding the movement
of the Mabey. 1t was reported in the
Morning News dispatches yesterday that
the Mahey had arrived at Brunswick from
jacksonville. and was being closely watch
ed by the revenue cutter Boutwell,.
The tug Alexander Jones left Whining
ton n. G., last Wednesday for Brunswick
under the impression that she was to en-
gage In towing there. Il Is suspected that
she may be engaged in a ilibustering eX-
pedition. A number of wise-acres think
that the movement of the famous filibus-
tering steamers around Brunswick, is
made for the sole purpose OF attracting at
tontion TO that point, while an expedition
IS being quietly arranged some where
else along the coast.

ANOTHER CASE OF BAD MEAT.
A Suspicion THAT Quantities OF II Are
Being Brought To savannah.

Being Brought TO savannah.
The opinion that Savannah is being
made the dumping ground for the bad
meat of the west is gaining ground, ap-
parently with good reason.
Health Officer LeHardy has his eyes
upon some Of the largest handlers of meat
in the local market, and he proposes 70
make thorough inspection Of all the
packing and storage houses at an early
date. His suspicious were confirmed yes
terday by having brought to his attention
small quantity Of meat which was pur-
chased from one Of the large cold storage
houses. r
Theodore Gutenberg, the proprietor OF
an all-night lunch wagon, brought the
case to the nealth 0fHcers attention. Eu-
lenberg took 10 the health office a very
odorous ham, one Of the kind that speaks
for itself He said that he had recently
purchased tt and two others from one Of
the cold storage houses. When he got
ready 10 convert them into sandwiches
for the lovers Of "red-hot" he discovered
an aroma, which no amount OF mustard
and pepper would be able TO overcome.
There is a line beyond which even the
patrons Of an al-nignt lunch wagon re-
that this line had been reached ana pass
ed by the hams. He said he went to the
company from which he purchased the
hams, and demanded an exchange or a re-
turn Of his money. This was refused. but
he was finally offered "a compromise.
