Put in Plenty of Corn.

This headline is not to be taken as
advice to mustered out soldiers, wheth-
er they be immuncs or ordinary volun-
teers. Few soldiers are immune to too
much corn. But We we're talking about
the farmer. and 1t is to him that We
give tie aQrice putin plenty 0! corn.
We want him to put 1t III the ground.
If he has not arcaGy gotten III his seed
corn, the sooner he gets it inthe better
", called attention recently to the in-
cident of Carolina wagons loading with
corn in Augusta for use on 4 Carolina
farm. We are glad to have Edgefeld
planters come to Augusta to trade, bat
we DO not want them to have to buy
corn. We believe their trade will be
more valuable if they Go rot have to
buy their corn. In its daily fable on
agricultural subjects, the Macon Tele
graph states the cause thus: 1t is
time now to pitch the corn crop. 1t
should be large one in Georgia Cot
ton is the last and least consideration
1t should be the surplus crop. Corn
fills its own sphere in the economy Of
the farm, and in the uses Of man. 1t
never goes to waste \ full barn is an
earnest Of a prosperous farm. Corn
fed hogs yield tie best pork. Corn-fed
horses and mules have frmer fat and
harder muscles. Nothing can take the
place Of corn.

German Speaking Negroes.

There is a German negro colony in
Pennsylvania, who speak nothing but
German. The place is in Lebanon
county, and the negroes went there
twenty, thirty and forty years ago, and
settled among the quiet Pennsylvania
German farmers of the Blue mountain
districts. The colored children grew
up on the farms, where they worked,
and heard nothing but German spoken.
They soon forgot nearly all the Eng
lish they knew, and now they rarely
speak anything but German. Their
children go to English country schools
in winter, but as quickly as they are
out Of sight Of their teachers they be-
gin to talk the German dialect, and
nothing else.

JEWELS FOR MERMA!DS.


Gold and Diamonds at tho Bottom Of tho
Sea.
On the Cornish coast, about five
miles from the Lizard, it is quite COM
mon to pick up Spanish dollars which
have been washed ashore from the
wreck OF a galleon which went down in
1854 with large amount of bullion on
board.
1t is surprising that with all the
modern appliances for diving, system
a,ic attempts are l.ot more frequently
made 10 recover treasure from the
deep.
AS early as 1893 great deal OF treas
ure was recovered, including the his
torical golden cup which once belonged
to Frederick, king Of Sicily, from the
wreck Of one Of the ships Of the "ln-
vincib!e Armada
In 1880 an American named William
Phipps came over from Virginia to this
country, and craved the assistance OF
Charles II. toward recovering some
wrecked treasure on the coast Of His
PAMELA Charles provided him with
ship and the necessary funds, but the
first attempt proved unsuccessful.
In second effort he was financed
by the duke of Albemarle. and this
time he succeeded in recovering specie
to the value Of 100000, and after pay
ing all expenses he was able to give
the duke the sum Of eS0,000 as his
share in the venture.
The specie on board H NJ. S. Lutine,
wrecked in 1899 OFF the coast Of Hol-
land, amounted to 81, 100000, and the
whole Of this still remains at the bot
tom OF the sea, with the exception Of
G99.S59 recovered in the year 1859. At
tempts to recover the remainder are
still being made.
Diving operations resulted in the re-
covery Of sSO,OOO in gold from the
wreck of the ill-fated Royal Charter,
which took place close to Moelfra, off
the Anglesea coast, but vast number
of diamonds are still lying about the
wreck.
Forty thousand pounds in specie was
recovered from the wreck of the Ha-
milla Mitchell, in the Chinese sea, af-
ter lying in twenty-three fathoms Of
water for upwards Of twenty years, and
100000 in gold was saved from the
wreck Of the Alphonso XII, which was
sunk in twenty-six and one-half faith
oms Of water off the Canary Islands in
1885.
Some Of the French ships sunk at
TrafaIga contained vast treasure. Five
tons of silver plate. excluding the ia
nous silver gates of St. Johns Cathe-
dral, Malta, and ton and a half Of gold
plate, mostly studded with jewels, the
plunder of the Maltese churches, were
on board one Of these ships.
Not an ounce of this treasure has
been recovered.

No More Immunes.

Even the Sprinfeld Republican,
which holds to its old Abolition sentl-
mentality about the negro more per-
sistcntly than any other paper we know
Of, is moved TO remark: The Tenth
colored 'immunes, after their discharge
at Macon, Ga, shot man at one place,
raided liquor dispensary at another,
nearly killed an old man farther on,
and started riots at various way sta
tions at their pleasure all the way
north TO Virginia. There will be no
more 'immunes. ?" No, there will be
no more. The public demands immun-
ity from such visitations.

The underground railway in London
was the most expensive TO construct
Of any in the world. Some parts Of it
cost as much as LOCO guineas per yard.

\ special to The Commercial-Appeal
from Chattanooga says Two raftsmen
one named Devoney and the other un

To Be Mustered uuL.

1t will not be long now before our
gallant boys who went to the war will
be home again \ dispatch from Wash
ington says the war department has de-
tcrmiued to muster out and bring home
all the volunteers in Cuba with the ex-
ception Of the volunteer engineers and
immunes. The necessity for immedi-
ate action has been brough to the at
tention Of the war department on ac-
count Of the quarantine regulations
against Cuba which go into effect about
the first Of May, and which are especial
ly strict at all southern ports. Wien
the troops are brought to this country,
they must under the law be mustered
out in United States camps, aalt hey
no doubt will be brought to camps near
est their homes. 1t is desired also to
have them brought to places where
fumigating can be done, and it is posi-
Bile that troops for the northern states
may be brought to Montauk, and Camp
Wikoff again be established, although
the present intention is to have ali
northern troops sent to Camp Meade in
Pennsylvania The troops of North
Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana
and Georgia will probably be brought
to Savannah, the Texas troops TO Gal
weston, and the Tennessee, kentucky
and Virginia troops to Old Point Com

The Oldest Railroad.

The Hon. Charles Francis Adams, Of
Boston, Mass, in book entitled Rail
roads-Their Origin and Problems, in
speaking Of the Old Reliable South
Carolina and Georgia Railroad says:
"At later day many of her sister
States were in advance Of her, (Massa
chusetts. and especially was this true
of South Carolina. There is, indeed.
some reason for believing that the South
Carolina Railroad was first ever con-
structed in any country with definite
plan of operating it exclusively By 10
comotive steam power. On the l5.h
Of January, 1881, exactly four months
after the formal opening Of the Mar-
chester and Liverpool Road, the first
anniversary Of the South Carolina Rail
road was celebrated with due honor. y
queer looking machine, the outline OF
which was sufficient in itslf TO poye that
the inventor owed nothing to Stephen
son, had been constructed at the West
Point Foundry Works, in New York.

The name Of Best Friend was give
to this very simple produce Of native
genius. In June, 1881, second loco
motive, called the West Point" had
arrived in Charleston; and this last
was constructed on the principle Of
Stepenson's Rocket. " in its general
aspect, indeed, it greatly reSembled
that already famous prototype. Thele
is very characteristic and suggestive
cut representing trial trip made with
this locomotive on March 5, 1881.
About six months before there had ac
tually been trial speed between a
horse and one of the pioneer locomo-
tives, which hal not resulted in favor
Of the locomotive. 1t took place on
the present Baltimore and Ohio Road,
upon the 2Sth Of August, 1880. The
engine in this case was contrived by no
other than Mr. Peter Conn"r

dence before the investigating board, that
no meats which were bought by his de-
partment stood the tropical climate or
were relishet by the soldiers as was this
brand of the Dold products, manufact-
ured exclusively at the Wichita plant, and
the condiments and preparation of which
are under the special charge Of Mr.. Rath-
man. Later he sprung on the market,
after long and careful study, a brand of
pressed ham which Manager Fred w.
Dold named after him, the now celebrated
"Rathman'' pressed ham, which the de-
partment stores in the east are asking
for special privileges in the sale and
handling. Twenty years Of faithful,
steady service is a remarkable record,
and yet considering that the Jacob Dold
company is the one it is easily understood
by every employee from Buffalo all
through the several branches to Wachita.
It is one inyiolable rule with this big
establishment TO retain and treat the
very best. all those who show by their
industry, fidelity and zeal an earnest de-
sire TO do their duty, and give forth the
best endeavors. John Ratham is one good
example. He has done mis- best, and the
result is he is appreciated.

COFFEE AND SUGAR MARKETS

New York, Nov. 27-For several weeks
past bull speculation has been in pro-
gress on the coffee exchange until even
the more optimistic operators late last
week feared the market to be in a top
heavy condition. Some had closed out
their interests before the holiday Of asst
urday. Therefore rise Of % to 40 points
on call this morning came as COM
plete surprise TO this branch of the trade,
as well as to the bear faction. Great
excite ment prevailed, with trading by
far the heaviest in years Luckless shorts
made no pretense whatever Of opposing
the advance or movements Of their OPP
ponents. BY 2 p m. the bulletin board
recorded sales of 100000 bags; total deal
pngs footed up 1880 bags. Final bids
showed a net gain for the day Of 20 to
30 points. Wall Street, Europe, the West
and the local trade were all consistent
buyers throughout the session. The rise
was based entirely upon strong cables
from European markets and reduced es-

Steady and steady to weak were the

were reported several more cars than
came in and the wagon supply was weak
and of not especially high grade and the
car receipts were reduced down consider

three weeks. There was an active tone
TO the trading so long as there were
hogs TO deal IN, and what appeared were
bold at once and at good, steady prices,
both as compared with the close Of Sat

the other markets. Chicago sent out,

stronger tone, as there was plenty of de-

by a long ways. Everything that appear

buyers and took a large portion of the
offerings. Others buyers were on hand,
but there was not enough received 70 go
