dOsta's New Hotel.

Valdosta, Ga, April 1S.-James Ham
brick, a young white man living a few
miles from this city, died yesterday from,
blood poisoning, and the case is one .,
the most remarkable that has come under
the observation of the physicians of this
section. Hambrick was about twenty
years of age and four weeks ago a small
pimple on his chin became iuflamed ana
developed into erysipelas. The pimple
was caused from an ingrowing hair and
nothlng was thought of it until infiamna-
ton set in. The poison went to every
part OF the young mans face and head.
and over a week ago he became blind
A day or so before his death, one of his
eyes popped out of its socket, and his
sufferings were very great Several ply
sicians went to see him during his illness
but they were unable 10 check the progress
OF the poison. The case is pronounced
the mosF remarkable that has ever occur
red in this section. The old physicians
never saw anything like it before.

FRUIT YIELD WILL BE LARGE.
Triton Shipper Says the Crop Pros
poets Are Fine.

poets Are Fine.
Triton, Ga, April ia prominent ship
per and commission man of Triton has
just returned from a tour of inspection
of the orchards and vineyards in this sec
ton and is in a position to make a safe
estimate on the crop for the present year.
He reports all the orchards in fine con-
dition, and where the trees have been
properly cared for the prospects for a fine
yield are the best this section has ever
known.
He estimates that fifty carloads of fruit
will be shipped from Triton this season,
and says this estimate is conservative
one. The vineyards are also in prime con-
dition, and fine grape crop may be con-
tidently expected. Early peach shipments
will begin in about thirty or thirty-five
days. and the early grapes will come about
ten days later.
The same gentleman has made a trip
through the Fitzgerald orchards and says
that at least twenty carloads of fruit may
be expected from that point. Fitzgerald
has been estima ting seventy carloads, bur
he says the estimate is too high, as the
trees are all very young. However, the
colony city will ship an extremely fine
quality of fruit, the trees have been
so we'll cared for.
gerald growers will ship a carload of
strawberries within ten days.
Last year, when the peach crop was a
failure all over the state, Triton shipped
fifteen carloads of peaches and plums.
1t is only natural now, with the exceed
ingly favorable season, to expect a boun-
tiful Weld.

SAYS SHE WAS HYPNOTIZED.
Divorced Wife of Commodore Mayo
Tells Strange Tale.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the HnlldQelpNld inquirer.
Waterbury, Conn, April 1.-THE secret
supposed to have died with Commodore
Mayo was revealed this evening by Miss
Jennie Ellen Stevens, who asserts that
she was trapped into a marriage with
him by the remarkable hypnotic power
which he possessed.
All who know the name of Commodore
Mayo have heard the strange story of his
second marriage at the age of 60 years,
when he won for his second wife Miss
Stevens, of this city. They were estrang-
ed on the eve of their wedding reception
and never saw each other from that time.
The marriage took place i'm 1892. the
Young wife was taken to a private asylum
and for two years her reason tottered on
it's throne. The Commodore obtained "a
divorce from her in a South Dakota court
and afterward married a Mrs. Hall, his
housekeeper.
Concerning the estrangement between
him and his second wife Washington So
ciety and the world at large have been
curious all these years. Miss Stevens be-
heves that Commodore Mayo had a re-
markable and occult power. She had
heard that he had somewhere in his travels
in the far East from Yodi or from Brah-
min learned the secret of exercising
strange and irresistible fascination over
mis- felloWmen. She and her parents were
travelling in the White mountains when
she first met the Commodore who was
then more than 60 years old. His eyes
seemed to possess some strange power,
she said this evening.
Miss Stevens had never dreamed Of mar
rying the Commodore. She hated him
and loved him by turns. When she was
away from him his influence over her
waned Once in the presence of the spirit

the Confederate Battle Flag.

Gen. Joe Johnston on the Genesis of
the Confederate Battle Flag.
Letter to the New York Sun.
In March, 1861, the Confederate Con-
gress adopted as their emblem the So
called "Stars and Bars" 1t was made up
Of three horizontal bars of red, white and
red, with blue union in the upper left
hand corner, on which were displayed
thirteen white stars in a circle thus Civ
ing the historic red, white and blue, which
tri-eolor appeared in all the succeeding
changes. The resemblance of this to the
"s'sars and Stripe" led to confusion, mis-
takes and loss of life in the first battle
of Bull Run, or Manassas as the Con-
federates designated it, and shortly after
that action another flag was born to the
Confederacy, in September, 1861.
The battle flag was then adopted This, in
the language of heraldry, was red field
charged with a blue saltier with a mar
row border of white, on which were dis
played thirteen white stars; in other
words, a blue St Andrews cross on a red
ground. This was easily dlstinguishable
and was never changed
The Stars and Bars were in SO supple
mented by the camp flag. This was in size
and shape like the other, except it was
white with no stripes and the battle flag
in the upper corner, next the staff. It
was found deficient in actual service, in
that displaying so much white 1t was apt
to be mistaken for flag of true and on
Feb. "a, 1865, it gave place to the last
flag of the Confederacy. the outer half
being a red vertical bar Appearing so

the others; in fact, was comparatively
little known.
