AT PITMAN GROVE.
The Latest Letter From the
Camp Meeting Resort.


The management Of the big picnic
TO be held at Alcyon Park next week.
states that a half hundred permits
nave been granted for machinery ex-
hlbits. The special train rates and
the extra for the Salem branch will
doubtless bring big crowd from
Salem.
AT no time in the history of this
town and resort has there been SO
many people here, except through
the few days of camp meeting, as at
present, and what the few preceding
days before the great revival begins
may bring forth, can only be i'm
aglned. The trains Saturday landed
at least fifty carloads of people here
TO spend Sunday, besides the COM
muters, who number more than any
previous year, The Grove on Sunday
had the appearance of the regular
camp season, as the people gathered
at Summit and Epworth parks to
join in the religious exercises.
With very few exceptions every
cottage is occupied; on the outer cir
cleS and west side, where the four
hundred abide, quarters cannot be
had, and number of the moneyed
men are talking of erecting an i'm
menSe hotel that Will accommodate
hundreds, and believe it would be a
paying investment. The social life
here is a feature that is not seen at
many resorts. The evening gather
lngs and open air concerts attract
hundreds and residents say that
there is as much gayety to be had
here as at the SeaShore.
The directors of the camp associa-
tion Saturday issued circular re-
questing cottagers to pay "a small
sum weekly for the collection of gar
bage and to pay for the incandescent
electric lights that are distributed
Throughout the avenues. 1t is
stated that last year the amount con-
tributed for the purpose by the cot
tageT did not exceed one-ffth of the
sum expended. Should the cottagers
refuse to pay these extra charges the
association threatens to reduce the
number of lights and compel people
to remove garbage at their own ex-
penSe. Cottagers are also requested
to remove all rubbish at their own
expense in April, July and October.
A number of summer residents say
they will not pay the association for
lighting and garbage collecting,
claiming that the first item is prop
erly the province of the association,
and that farmers are willing to col
lect the garbage free. Others say
that in view of the various improve
ments, such as surface drainage,
| lighting. ETC., that. have been made
by the Grove authorities, they will
cheerfully contribute their desired
quota.
Among the clergymen who have
been engaged to preach during the
camp are DR.. George Corey, of Wash
ington, d. c.; Rev. Charles H. Yat-
man, Rev. DR.. Spencer, Rev. DR..

couRT1ne GOLD DEMOCRATS.
Republicans Trying to Ascertain
How They Will Vote.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The Re
publican congressional committee Is
doing its best to sound the gold Demo
Gratis who supported Mckinley in 1896
to ascertain as closely as possible how
their votes will be cast this year on
the congressional as well as presiden-
tial ticket. Knowing that there is a
great tendency among this class 70
support the Democratic congressional
candidates this fall, they are doing
what they can to Offset it.
In the close districts the gold Demo
Gratis are being assiduously courted by
their Republican friends. and special
efforts are being directed toward them
by the campaign managers. Personal
appeals will be made later, and the
gold Democrats will be men Of conse-
quence in this campaign. They are en-
treated not to mar the good effects of
the aid which they rendered the sound
money ticket in 1896 and 1898. It is
explained to them that the work es-
poused by the Republican party, and
which they endorsed and helped along
by their votes, is not finished with the
enactment Of the gold standard law.
The financial policy includes cur
rency and banking legislation yet to be
adopted. This was entered upon by
the Republican party with the aid of
the gold Democrats. Having put their
hands to the pillow, these Demo
Gratis are besought not to leave before
the furrow is turned. The election of
Democratic House Of Representatives.
it is claimed, would retard the work of
currency reform indefinitely, and might
be the beginning Of a movement which
would unsettle conditions and undo
the good already accomplished.

Largest Sugar Cane Mill.

There is now being established at the
port of Banes. on the north coast OF
Cuba, factory which<will be the larg-
est in the world for the production of
cane sugar. 1t will have a daily ca
pacity Of 1000 tons Of cane and viii be
built by the United Fruit Company.
This company owns more than 100000
acres of land near Banes, about half OF
which will be devoted to the culture of
fruit, and enough of the remainder TO
sugar cane for the supply of this big
factory. The land is new and planting
of cane has been going on all this sea-
SON. The factory is expected to be
completed within one year, in time for
the opening of the 1901 campaign. II
will be located on the water front, so
as to enable steamers to load at the
factory and proceed to the refineries at
New York, and land the sugar there at
cost of about cents per 100 pounds
which gives it considerable advantage
over old factories.-Sugar Planters

chase money due petitioner. This draft
and bill Of lading should be sent to the
Bank Of Waycross, and by it presented
to defendant for payment, the title and
possession Of the flour TO remain in
PLAINTIFF until paid for by defendant.
The flour was shipped according to
contract. Plaintiff drew upon the Bank
OF Waycross u sight draft for the pur-
chase money, attaching to the draft the
Dill OF lading Endorsed by petitioner.
The flour arrived in Waycross on May
3, 1887. and was unloaded and received
by the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway Company Mt Its freight depot
In Waycross. On May S, 1897, the bank
presented to defendant and demanded
payment of the draft. Defendant rec
ognized that the draft was correct, but
being short of funds, requested the
oank to hold the draft until the follow
ing Monday, when she would pay the
same. On,May 10th the depot in which
the flour was stored was destroyed by
fire. 1t is charged in the petition that
this loss was the direct result of the
nonperformance by defendant of her
contract in failing to pay the draft,
obtain the bill of lading. and receive
the flour in compliance with the con-
tract
The court says:
We do not think that the right Of the
seller to sue the purchaser for the en-
tire price of the goods applies to this
section. 1t appears from the terms Of
| the contract set forth in the petition
that the title to this property never
| passed from the seller to the purchaser,
but was in the former when the prop
erty was destroyed. The possession Of
| 1t was also constriictlvely In the seller,
and 1t was designed that 1t should so
| remain until the purchase money was
paid. Under the provision of section
| 1851 of the Civil Code, where q vendce
| refuses to accept any pay for goods
| which he had contracted to buy, 1t
| seems that the vendor cannot recover
the entire price unless he stores or re-
| tains the property for the vendee.
| There is nothing In this case to indl-
| cate that plaintiff elected to take this
| step. but it simply retained the posses
| sion and title to the property for plain
tiff's own protection. Besides, it is
clearly inferable that the time for the
payment of plaintiffs draft was ex-
tended by the plaintiffs agent, the
bank, until the following Monday, when
tile -four was destroyed before 1t was
presented on that day for payment
The mere failure of the defendant to
pay the draft promptly could not, Of
course. have been the cause of the fire
and the destruction of the flour: and
1t being destroyed while title and pos.
session remained in the plaintiff, and
during the extension of the time In
which the defendant was allowed to
pay the purchase money, we think the
loss fell upon the plaintiff. and that,
therefore. the court did not err in sus
tanning the demurrer to the petition.
Judgment affirmed.
