made to Major Sylvester within the
past few days in connection with regu-
lation that prohibits fishing in the

that this practice can in no way inter
fere with the bathers. and ask that
the law be suspended OF abolished.
This view is also taken by Major
Sylvester, and he Will confer either to-
day or tomorrow with the District
Commissioners in regard to the propo-
sition of the wouldbe fishermen.

eEoRelA's cANTALoUPE CROP.
Farmers Planted Rocky Ford Seed,
 With Excellent Results.

Albany, Ga.-The cantaloupe season, which is now drawing to a close around Albany has been one of the most sue cessful that the growers in this section have ever experienced. The yield, the quality of the melons, and the prices have all been satisfactory.
 Within the past three weeks there have been shipped from Albany not less than 160 cars of cantaloupes, most of which were sold to the agents of commission houses as they stood on the sidings where they were loaded. At least thirty commission men were here during the shipping season, and at times there was lively bidding for the cars. The melons brought all the way from S2 to $6 per crate, and it is estimated that the 160 cars sold here have brought more than S125 coo in cash money into the section.
 One reason why the growers were so successful this year, they believed, is that they sent man out to Rocky Ford, Colo, last year and purchased all the seed used around here this season. The experiment was so successful that they expect to send again this year and pur- chase about 5000 worth of seed for their use next year.

King Milan of Servia was one of the most disreputable scamps that ever sat on a throne or occupied a prison cell His son Alexander as a man, was con- siderable improvement on his father. But as a king he was a failure, although it must be admitted in his favor that it would require very exceptional ability to reign and rule in Servia. The occupant of that throne is not on bed of roses. The Servian peasants are not highly ciV- ilized, but-all things considered-they are much what uncivilized peasants are ev- anywhere. The Servians however, who take to politics are-speaking generally a very contemptible set, always locking after their own interests. hating each other cordially and trying to supplant each other. With a fair amount of ready cash, anyone could at any time get up revolution in the capital.
 Alexander should not be blamed for marrying Queen Draga. She was not pretty, but agreeable, and if she was old CT than he was, that was his concern alone. The stories of her having led a disreputable life are not correct. After

According to tho prcs- abilities in such cases, had she src- cumbed to him before marriage. tlc mar riage would nevsr have taken place.
