tiers of Interest to Shippers and
Mariners.
The river does not present an active
appearance at present, due to the few
foreign vessels in port loading. The
fleet of schooners is increasing in
number however, and as a large num-
Der are due, the wharves will probably
be lined soon with sailing vessels load
ing. Lumber exporters report an ex-
cellent demand for lumber, and the
indications are that many charters will
be made during the next few weeks.
The steamship Nyassa, which was
temporarily repaired at the Plant Sys-
tenn wharves, is to tow to New York
to-day or tomorrow to dry dock. Tugs
are now bound for Savannah for the
Nyassa.
The steamboat Louise was chartered
for the first time since she was bought
by the Georgia. Carolina Navigation
Company. by R. L. Wilson, Jr., who,
with his bride, went over on Friday
night to his Carolina estate. The
Louise was in command of Capt. Dam
iels. Capt. H. A. Strobhar, general
manager of the line, went along. The
boat had just arrived from Button
with a large load of miscellaneous
freight, and as soon as this was dis
charged she was turned over to Mr..
Wilson.
The annual report of the Hamburg
American Steam Packet Company an
nounces that an agreement with other
companies to raise rates will soon be
published In this annual report the
reduced earnings of the company are
attributed to the shortage in American
corn exports and also to the fact that
the heavy domestic consumption of
American manufactures causes neglect
of foreign markets.
The New York Shipbuilding Company
has been awarded a contract by the
]. w. Guffey Petroleum Company to
build a bulk oil carrier for the Trans
atlantic trade, which, when completed,
will be the largest vessel of her class
ever built in the United States. She
will carry $500, 900 gallons of petroleum,
and will be constructed of steel. Her
power will be supplied by triple ex-
pansion engines, and she will use fuel
oil. At present there is not a bulk
oil carrier under the American flag
engaged in the European trade.

Judge rite Not in the Race.

Judge A. w. Fite, of the Cherokee
circuit, will not be in the race for con-
gress in the seventh district this time
against Hon. j. w. Maddox.
The Calhoun Times prints an inter-
view with Judge Fite, in which he
makes the following statement:
81 will not be in the congressional
race this time. I have received many
strong assurances of support from all
parts of the district which were very
gratifying to me, but after duly con-
sidering the matter 1 have decided not
to make the race at this time.
The decision of Judge Fite not to
enter the race leaves Judge Maddox
with an open field. 1t has been an
nounced that Mr. Tatum, of Dade,
would be in the race, but politicians
do not think such will be the case.

Gainesville Sun: The sad informa
ton was received yesterday to the eff
feet that DIR. Nat Lancaster had been
drowned on the Mississippi river. The
information came in a telegram to his
brother, DIR. R. A. Lancaster. The sad
death of DIR. Nat Lancaster is a great
blow to this city, where he was raised
and schooled until he entered the med
ical college. He was one of the most
highly respected young men of this
city and no young man has ever stood
higher or was more worthy than he.
When he moved to louisiana he built
up a large practice in short while.
Only few days ago he was here,
where he visited his relatives. He
could not have been home long before
the tragic death occurred.
FAINT of unknown parentage. about six
weeks of age, was found on the rear
porch of the residence of ]. w. Faux
ner a well known blacksmith of this
city, who resides at No. 126 Clay street,
last night about 9 O'clock. The child
was found securely confined in a bas-
ket and was provided with a milk
bottle the basket having been left
where it would be sure TO be found.
The babe was wrapped up in a mass
of linen and a soft flannel blanket and
had on a pretty lace cap. The clothing
was of the very finest material, and
had been made with the greatest care,
but nothing thereon gave any evidence
OF its percentage. The child was taken
by Mr.. Faulkner to st. Marys orphan
age, and in the meantime the police are
endeavoring to locate the mother of the
abandoned child.

PROTECTION NEEDED FOR DOVES.

The Augusta Chronicle after COM
menting upon the game laws enacted
by various states says: There is one
subject. however, in regard to which
we think all true sportsmen will be
in accord, and that is the crying neces-
sity that exists for doing something
that will forestall the extinction of the
doves. The gregarious tendencies of
these descendants of the blue rock
pigeons threaten them with speedy de-
struction. One branch of the family,
the wild pigeons that at one time
swarmed in such numbers that they
darked the light of day in their miga-
tory flights have already vanished
from the scene, and unless something
is done, and that speedily. to stop the
indiscriminate slaughtG' of the doves,
that valued game bird will also disap-
pear. AS long as they were hunted in
the same way as quail and snipe and
others, that is to say, casually, their
increase was rapid. for they are
naturally prolific. But with the advent
of larger and larger droves the Gus
tom of batting fields arose, and then
their clannish instincts rendered them
an easy prey to the fowling piece. 1t
is no uncommon thing for a half dozen
guns 10 stay III one udy SpOl ~
called-more than as many hundred
birds, and it was only a few years ago
that a party in Southwestern Georgia
placed over five thousand doves on the
train at one time to be sent to Macon.
The bisons roamed the prairies of the
West in almost as great numbers as
the doves that now throng our fields
and forests, but ten years of wanton
butchery exterminated them, and If
these battues are to be continued the
birds will experience a similar fate.

A NEGRO GIVES GOOD ADVICE.

A negro doctor in Columbus writes
the following sensible lines to the VAL
dosta Times: "a great deal has been
said about solving the race problem.
l think the easiest and quickest way to
solve it is for the colored man to know
his place and stay in it and direct him
self to moral and industrial education
in order to make loyal and useful citi-
zens. The Southern white man is the
negro's friend, and is willing to help
him when he deserve it. For instance,
Mr.. F. D. Peabody, born and raised in
Columbus, Ga, has offered colored men
of this city a Y. NJ. c. A. building to
cost $4,000 for the moral and religious
elevation of the race. This alone shows
that the white man south of the Mason
and Dixon line ;, thizes with black
men as we'll as white man north
of it."
