Peculiar Disease Has Appeared In Lee
County. Farmers Are Alarmed.

A Leesburg special to the Albany
Herald says: Your correspondent no.
ticed today in a field of cotton near
Leesburg something so peculiar that
ne took the pains to 60 to other fields
and investigate. The stalk that at
tracted attention was about knee high,
and this morning was as vigorous
and as heal.hy as could be wished
When noticed at dinner the two
blooms were not faded and the squares
were still fresh, but the leaves were
as parched as if they had been dried
in a stove. Around it were other
stalks and after trip it was apparent
that the disease was becoming general.
Some farmers to whom this was
told say it is black root, but 1t seems
TO be an entirely new disease. as black
root will not cause stalk to die inside
of six hours, when it is vigorous at
breakfast time. If the thing contlh-
ues the prospects fade away Tor cot

Members asserted that the British
Mediterranean fleet was specially in
adequate to meet the French and Rus

dermanned and uneQuipped, espe-
cially with modern guns: thatit lacked
colliers, and that the coal depots were

BUILDING BOOM.
The Erection of Several Store
Houses and Residences
Have Been Begun.

1t seems that a building boom has
struck Dawson. There are being
erected several new brick store houses
and handsome residences in the city,
and others will soon be built. AS was
stated in last weeks NEWS, Mr., S. l.
Jordan will erect a handsome brick
store on lower Main street in the rear
of the McLaiu Drug Co.'S. building.
The materialto be used in its construc-
ton is now being placed on the
ground.
We also learn that Mr.. T, o..
Whitchard will probably soon begin
the erection of brick store house
almost adjacent to that being built oy
Mr.. Jordan, he having already bought
the lot for this purpose.
Immediately in the rear of Their
building on Main stree, Messrs. a. j.
Baldwin & Co. have under course OF
construction a handsome two story
brick building, the first floor OF which
will be used as a large timing and
plumbing shop and the second story
as carriage repository.
In addition to the above there are
several residences which are being
completed or improvements on which
have about been finished. We under
stand that there will also be several
dwellings erected in the near future.
