Glad of Half a Crop.

growers throughout this fruit section
will make from one-third to one-half
of a crop, and in and near Buena Wis
ia, about 80 miles southeast of here, a
large number of the growsrs will get
fully a half a crop. Their opinion is,
however, that the fruit growing sec
tion of southwest Georgia will not av-
erage more than one-fourth of crop.
Many of the fruit trees were killed by
the recent cold snaps.
Growers around Richmond, Ga,
about 40 miles below here, will aver
age one-half of g crop.
Two prominent Columbus citizens,
who are perhaps the largest peach
growers in this section of the country,
claim that they will get at least one
half OF a crop, but that the average
will be the same as stated above.

.THH CHARITY NURSE" "

4 singularly pretty play will follow at Polls tomorrow and Saturday even ings, with Saturday matinee, being Henck and Fennessey's production of ''The Charity Nurse" This play, which has drawn crowded houses in every city in which it has been pre- scented, has the most extraordinary scenes, among which are the famous Bohemian club in New York, a ward In the Bellevue hospital New York. which is known the world over as the home of the friendless and sick, where no man or woman has eyer been turned away from it's doors; the quiet home life of New England clergy man, and the old church on the hill which brings back memories of our boyhood days. The claim has been made that ''The Charity Nurse is one of the most suptuous scenic produc- tions on the American stage playing popular theaters. The cast is a grand one including one of the best emotion al actresses in the country in Selma Herman, who in the character of the innocent and much wronged heroine is said to be excellent. Every attention has been given this presentation and that it is a great financial and artistic success stands as a tribute to those who present only the best. Seats are now on sale at popular prices.

Polls is certain to be merry place this evening" when the, Brothers Byrne introduce to Waterbury their reJuven- ated edition of Flight Bells" Have you ever beheld something that liter ally took your breath away by its mar vicious cleverness? Have you sat and wondered to yourself what manner of man devised and engineered the thing to success? There are entertainments so clever, so funny, so inexplicably and so monstrously exciting that we feel appalled, by their marvel There is none more astounding than Flight Bells" as devised by John Byrne of the Brothers Byrne.

- VOLCANO OPENED.
vesuvius BeIches Forth Lava, MaIx-
 ing Grand Display.

ing a Grand Display.
 , NAPLES, Aug. 27.-The people of Naples and it's environs witnessed a remarkable spectacle when 1000 feet below the central cone of vesuvius the volcano opened like huge mouth, out of which belched fiery stream of lava which ran down the side of the noun tain and at first seemed to menace the observatory. This building, however, is protected in the direction of the stream by a mound of lava 200 feet high which was thrown out during the eruptions of 1895 and 1900.
 The eruption occurred without any warning whatever. There was no earth nothing but a clear stream of lava and red hot stones, which were thrown to a height of 700 feet, producing an ex- tremely beautiful effect as seen from Naples. The stream of lava, which is fifteen feet broad, flowed like river for distance of 2,700 feet. It deviated later from the direction of the observa- tory, which is no longer menaced. The only danger is for the new electric tramway up the volcano, which, how ever, has thus far not been touched.
 The spectators far enough away not to be frightened stood entranced at the spectacle, but those nearer to the vol cano were seized by panic when the eruption began and rushed down from the sides of the mountain and from the adjacent country to the villages of Portici and Resina, which is built over the ruins of Herculaneum. The alarm in these villages was somewhat qufeted by the mayors affixing notices declar- ing that there was no danger and ex- horting the people to. remain calm.
 The chief of police of Naples has gone personally to make tour of the villages around Vesuvius in order to reassure the peasants and superintend any measures of protection which may be deemed necessary. The supersti- tious lower classes are agitating for the expulsion of Professor Krull of Munich, who predicted the eruption, declaring that he has. the aeyil eye"

We'll Pleased with Shamrock III. as
 F7ier.
 HIGHLANDS, N. J., Aug. 27.--''I center my hope in today's race. While there's life in the patient there's hope, and the patient gave very lively kick Tn the second race.''
 This is the way Sir Thomas Lipton, smiling and as game as ever, expressed himself aboard the Erin. His buoy ancy, his persistent confidence in the ability of Shamrock III. to yet lift the cup or, failing, that she would take one and perhaps two races of the se- ries, is unshaken.
 Colonel Duncan Neill, declared to be the best amateur yachtsman on the Clyde, stood on deck beside Sir Thom- as as he spoke and when he had fin ished said:
 Watch Shamrock III. in this race. She will be first at the weather mark. 7
 q can't understand the loss of those nineteen seconds at the start,'' said Sir Thomas Lipton. Of course might as we'll have been beaten by fifty miles as by short distance, but am grati- fled that Shamrock III. did so beauti- fully.''
 The baronet said he would go to Chi cago after the completion of the series and that he might, though he was not certain, visit Boston.
 He said that he had great desire to visit the Athens of America and that President Adams of the Boston board of trade had extended him cordial invitation, which he would accept if possible.
