THE BANANA TRUST.
A New Combination In Process Of
Formation.

NEW YORK, June THE Tribune
says: It is learned on good authority
that the rumors which have been going
around to the effect that the so-called
Banana trust is soon to have rival
are founded on facts.
Negotiations looking to the formation
of the new comb nation have been und r.
way for a few weeks only, but it is
likely that in three or four days this
new combination will be launched and
ready to do business. The work of or
gandzation is said to have been unex-
be held next Monday in several cities
of the United States at which the final
steps towards perfectfng the scheme
will be taken.
The new venture is described as being
combination for protection" and
not in any sense a trust. Banana deal
ers say a fruit trust is impossible, be-
cause of the perishable nature Of the
goods.
The new combination has been in
contemplation ever since the United
Fruit Company or Banana Trust, -
was incorporated last January. When
that company was formed the Bluefelds

was not included. The latter company
did not like the terms offered and kept
out. It planned the rival combination
and the present fruit war; is the re-
suit of the planning
Those who will be included in the new
combination are the Aspinwau Fruit
Company and ]. E. Kerr & Co. of this
city, the SANTANA Bay Company of San
Domingo, whose New York manager is
e. c. Gedney; Taylor's West India
Trading Company of Philadelphia
Seward & Co. of Baltimore, the New
port News Fruit Company and the
Blueields Company of Mobile and New
Orleans.
The banana dealers say the price Of
West Indian fruit will not be changed
if the new combination goes through

The Flower OF Fame,

He sought it before the billow of spring
on the meadow was seen,
When only the flush of the willow was
He scanned to the edge of the frayins
SHOWS that dappled the mountain
slope,
And ever too late the March sun rose: for
he searched the world without
hope.
I saw him at noon Of the summer day,
and that was the favorite hour
To one who had hunted from March to
May, and never found flower;
For the light was full, as though the sun
were aiding his eager quest,
run DER his path from east or west.
And still in September's purple and gold
he was hunting the grudging
ground,
But not with the steady eye Of old or the
springtime's joyous bound;
If he stopped in his feverish roaming, I
was to question the darklng air;
Too early came the cleaning; he was
searching with despair.
And while. for a chance of. the rarest. he
wanders in storm or heat,
He is blind TO the charm of the fairest
he is crushing beneath his feet
The Flower of Every Valley, the Flower
of All the Year,
Deep in whose broken blossom the dew
lies like a tear.

As stated on former occasion,
when the price of cotton is low
and the margin of profit is very
small, it is all important to secure
q fine grade of cotton. One should
bear in mind that a large portion
Of the sales of any crop go to de-
fray the expense of production,
and it is the excess beyond this
which constitutes profit. Now it
costs Just as much to raise storm
or trashy cotton rs it does to raise
high grade cotton, and the lower
price of the former may wipe out
entirely the margin of profit. So
may the careless handling and
preparation for market of any

Dear Sir-Please allow me space
in your valuable paper to state to
the public what | think is the
cause of the shortness of present
cotton crop. A great many people
say that the boil worm is the
cause, but | never saw crop so
completely destroyed by boil
worms before. Therefore having
a doubt as to the destroyer, it
caused me to make a close search
and found the little black ant to
be the destroyer. There are mil
lions of them and the weather be-
ing very dry they are suffering
for water, and found they could
keep life by feeding on the tender
buds Of the cotton. They have
perfect trail from the root of the
cotton to the top, and feed on the
under side of the square, thus
every one that has come
on since July.
Yours truly,

The rcwprtCd existence of yeI-

the coast, and at Jackson and
Hattiesburg, has had very diff
ferent effect + ON that produced
by the appearance of the fever in
former years There has been no
panic, no disturbance of business,
no senselesS quarantine, and no
wild flight of citizens to other
places. The composure with
which the presence of the fever
is met is very encouraging. It
shows that 1t has lost its terrors,
and will probably never again be
the cause Of such decentralization
and commercial disaster as result
ed from its appearance in 1S97-9S.
The possibility of a widespread
and fatal epidemic is greatly les

improved sanitary conditions Of

must mitigate the viruIence of the
disease in its birthpIaces and in
time cause its entire disappear

panic may be regarded as a thing
OF the past, and the South hence
forth relieved from the greatest
disadvantage, from a commercial
and industrial point of view, with
which it has had to contend.

The brochure of DIR. Souchon, en-
titled, THE Lessons of the Yel-
low Fever in New Orleans in
1879" shows that prior to the year
1879, when sanitation as now
practiced was unknown in New
Orleans, the disease was of annual
recurrence, if not actually en-
lemic in that city; but that since
1879, when the principles of DIS
infection and isolation were put
into practice, it has been impos-
sible for the disease to gain a foot |
hold. Between the years 1854 |
md 1896 there occurred not Il single |
leath from yellow fever in New |

which it has appeared it has been
