SCOTT ON PEACHES.

Macon Telegraph: State Entomolo-
gist w. NJ. Scott was in the city yes
terday. He had been down among the
peach orchards of Fort Valley and
Marshallville. Speaking of the condi-
ton and prospect of a peach crop in
those sections he said: THE peach
growers feel more encouraged than
they did a few weeks ago. The peaches
have grown considerably and there is
a prospect of about rs per cent. of an
average crop of all varieties save the
Elberta." Speaking of the causes that
made peaches drop and knocked out
the calculations for a big crop, Mr..
Scott said that brown rot in the bios
som was responsible for a part of the
trouble, and heavy rains that washed
out the pollen from the blossoms, and
prevented polarization, was response
BILE for the other part.

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
GRAIN EXPORTS THROUGH sAvAN-
NAH DISCUSSED.

Capt. MaddreII of the s. s. OrieI, Now
Loading Here, Considers Local
Port Facilities ExceIIent-LarGe
CIenrances of Lumber For Coast
wise Account.
Capt. Maddrell of the British steam
ship Oriel revives the question of grain
exports through Savannah. From the
standpoint of practical shipping man
the captain is impressed with the IA
cilities the port offers, upon which he
bases the belief that grain could prob
ably be put through Savannah advan-
tageously.
This brings up a business Savannah
has been seeking for years, and is
still working to secure grain for ex-
port. These efforts date back many
years, when at one time the prospects
were sufficiently assuring to warrant
the Central Railroad in constructing
an elevator on it's property above town.
While efforts up to now have been
unsuccessful in bringing grain here
the recent rumors of closer traffic ar
engagements between railroads entering
savannah ana Lnelr western connect
tons that will form a trunk system
and result in an advantageous
scale of rates gives encourage
ment to the we'll wishers of the move
ment. According to the best in
formed traffic people grain should
come to Savannah for export, and
from the the development of the
ports business of late they predict it
is but a question of time until the
products of the prairies will be COM
ing here with those from the fields
and forests of the South.
Capt Maddrell, First Officer Knox,
Second Officer Gamble and Chief En-
gineer Hedworth, of the steamship
Oriel, were visitors at the Morning
News last night. They have seen the
great grain elevators at Gulf ports,
and with the advantages they found
here for a similar business their in
quiry as to why grain does not come
to Savannah may be taken by those
interested as significant of the ship
ping facilities Savannah offers.
Mr.. John A. Calhoun, the we'll known
lumber exporter, cleared vessels yes
terday for Philadelphia and Perth Am
boy with cargoes aggregating 1,634,S99
feet of yellow pine lumber. For sin
gle days clearances this is out of the
ordinary. Exporters report a good de-
mand for the yellow pine.

sworn out by John T. Gum, presi-
dent of the Board of Public Instruc-

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem.)
says: Colonies are apt to take the
position that the mother country in
order to enjoy the honor of their as
ISOLATION, must assume all sorts of
burdens for their benefit and expect
nothing in return. Great Britain has
the credit of having been remarkably
successful as a colonial power, but in
