THE UNKNOwABLE OCEANS.
Tidal Freaks for which There Is no
Logical Accounting.

From the London Shipping World.
There are as many vagaries in the
waters as in the winds. Why, for in
stance, should three great ocean cur
rents send their warm waters cross
the wide Pacific, Atlantic, and across
the Cape of Good Hope? There have
been many theories advanced to solve
the problem of their origin, but all
have proved fallaciCus. Other and equa
ly mysterious currents exist in we'll
nigh all parts of the world.
The tides are so erratic in different
parts of the world that one hesitates 10

that the sea has run for weeks our q

What is the Long Ju-Ju7

What is the Long Ju-Ju?
People in London have been asking
the question for a long time past, for
the papers have had good deal to
say about the latest of the little wars"
that England has engaged in, and
there have been many references TO
this mysterious name.
An interesting answer is given by a
correspondent who accompanied the
eXpeditionary force which was sent to
Aro- Chuku, West Africa. From this
1t appears that the Long Ju-Ju is the
most powerful religious center in West
Africa, and is visited from hundreds
of miles by natives of all sorts and
conditions. 1t is approached through
dense push, which gradually becomes
thicker and thicker until one arrives
at the entrance of deep, oval shaped
pit, seventy feet deep, sixty yards long
and fifty yards wide
one then climbs down the precipi-

Fifteen dollars a month for the
privilege of swearing is a pretty good
price to pay for it," said a citizen who

man of my acquaintance did, and
there is a rather singular story con-

old seafaring man who has a nen-
chant for using bad language. He is
at this time engaged in a profitable
business and ordinarily would pass
current as a good fellow. When he Is

The Steamship Nyassa to Discharge
and Then Proceed North to Dry
dOck-River Steamers Doing an
From Quarantine TO Load Naval
Stores.
The steamship Nyassa, which was
disabled by grounding on Ossabaw
Island will probably go to some
Northern port in tow to dry dock and
repair. It was the desire to repair the
vessel in Savannah, as this would
save much time and facilitate mat
tiers. But it has been found necessary
to dock the steamer, and as there is
no way to do this here the Nyassa
must be taken North. Her stern post
I.eeds repairing. Capt, Leslie yester-
cay called on Mr.. John Rourke, and
talked the situation over with him.
Capt. Leslie told Mr.. Rourke he would
gladly have the work done here if
possible. AS previously stated the
vessel is scheduled to load here, and
it is said considerable room has been
engaged on her.
Repairs are being made on the
steamship Kronprinz Gustaf by
Rourke & Sons. She is now at the
Central's wharves, where she is load
ing cotton and other cargo.
The river steamers are doing their
share in moving local freight. For the
past week each outward bound boat
has carried large lots of merchandise,
fertilizers and other goods to up-river
points. The merchants are beginning
to ship spring goods 70 country deal
ers, and this gives the river boats
considerable to do. The Southern
Transportation Company and the Sa-
vannah River Steamboat Company,
each seem TO find enough to do.
The bark Boreas, which arrived
yesterday from below to load naval
stores is consigned to Walter Coney.
While it is not known what port she
Will load the probability is she will
so to a South American port.
The largest vessel ever built for the
New York and Glasgow trade was
launched last week on the Clyde for
the Anchor Line. She is named the
Columbia, and is 500 feet over all,
with a gross tonnage of $500 tons,
and, when loaded her displacement
will be fully $4,000 tons.
A large number of schooners are
being built in Newfoundland for the
fishing and coasting trade. At Placen-
tia one has just been launched, four
more are on the stocks at Peti Forte,
and a similar number are being built
at Paradise Sound.

A SLAUGHTER OF DOVES.

Moultrie sports on Wednesday
morning. Two parties went out
to two different plantations and
strove for the largest number of birds
One party went down to Mr.. George
Suber's plantation near Suberdale.
They We're joined in their shoot by Mr.
Suber himself and two or three other
local sportsmen. They found doves in
sufficiently large quantities to begin
with, but after two hours shooting the
birds left the fields. They killed be-
tween three hundred and fifty and four
hundred. Mr.. W. II. Murphy, of MOul-
trie, led the crowd, killing siXty-siX
Another party went down to Murphy
and engaged with some of the Muir
phys in a big shoot in the Murphy
plantations The shooting was lively
here also, but lasted only for a short
while. This party bagged only about
three hundred, falling short of their
competitors by nearly one hundred
The sportsmen claimed that it was not
a good day fer shooting doves.

Ga about three weeks ago and pitched
his tent in West Jacksonville, was rob-
bed at a late hour Wednesday night of

NEED NOT FEAR CUBAN TRUCK.
w. J. Phillips, a well known COM
mission merchant of New York, who
has just returned from Cuba, tells the
Gainesville Sun that the fears of Flor
ida truck growers as to Cuban COM
petition are groundless and gives his
there or as follows: Cuba will
never be a. competitor of this state so
far as the growing of fruit and vege-
tables is concerned. There have been
q great many farmers who have gone
from this State to Cuba for the purpose
of engaging in the vegetable business,
and during the time l have been there
] have not found a single one of them
VITO mas made a. success of the bust
ness. While the soil is rich and the
climate agreeable so far as the temper
allure is concerned, there are other
things which must be taken into con-
sideration. In the first place it requires
a great amount of money to pillow the
vegetable lands, when compared with
the expense entailed for this work in
this state. There ] have seen as rQany
as twelve oxen to single pillow. But
the greatest drawback is the drought.
Irlese the farmer rrigates there is no
hope for him. When AL this expense
has been considered it win be readily
seen that it is better to make the ex-
penditure where you have a better OPP
portunity for reaching the markets of
the country than YOU will ever have in
Cuba. While Cuba may to a limited
extent compete with South Florida in
raising tomatoes. she viii never be a
competitor of this State in the grow
ing of vegetables. AS to pineapples
ga Head Of this State. and this
year win ship at least a million dozen
pines. The crop this year is better
than it has been in the history of the
island. The quality of the fruit is
good. il is a fact that Cuba does not
grow as good a quantity of pineapple
as does this state. There is nothing
which can touch the Florida pineap-
pie and oranges. I have long since APP
preciated that fact, but Cuba has a
large acreage of pines and will have
more of them. in years to come. AS to
1he growing of oranges. l do not think
that this industry will ever be so sue
cessful in Cuba as it has been in Flor
ida in the past, though in the Santiago
de las Vegas section, a few miles south
of Havana, I found the oranges look
ing extremely we'll The trees are
growing fast and there have been
great many of them set out.

a WIFE-BEATER KILLED.
VIM. Warren Meets Death at the
Hands of His Father III law L. W.
Berrlnger

VIM. Warren, farmer living
near Brunswick, who had estab-
lished a bad reputation as a
WIFE beater, was shot and killed
Wednesday evening by his faith
er- law, L. w. Berringer, at
Mr.. Berringer's home three miles
west of Indian Grove.
VIM. Warren, the man killed,
married daughter of Mr.. Ber-
ringer, and had been arrested
and fined twice for beating his
wife. A third complaint of the
same chara cter was filed with
Justice Geo. w. Cunningham at
Brunswick Tuesday, a waFant
issued, Warren arrested We'd
nesday and his trial set for next
Tuesday.
Mrs. Warren and the chill
dren had, in the mean time, gone
to her fathers, and when War
rem went there Wednesday even
ing, Mr.. Berringer forbade him
entering the premises, but he did
so regardless of his father-in- l.
laws protest, and Mr.. Berringer
shot and killed, it is alleged, in
self defense.
Warren was armed with pis-
tol, thus indicating that he went
to Mr.. Berringer's in quest of
trouble, but instead of getting to
use his weapon with deadly ef-
feet, as he had doubtless intend
ed, he met instant death from
pistol shots fired by Mr.. Berring-
er, who fired four shots at close
range, all taking effect.
Coroner jennings went out
yesterday morning to hold an in

returned a verdict of justifable
