CROPS ABOUT GAMBLER
Are Better Than II Was Thought
They Would he.

Are bPtter nan nv
They Would BE.
Gambler. Fla. July 15.-The condition
Of crop of all kinds has improved
greatly since the rains set in. At one
time it looked as if there would be
scarcely any thing made, but a half
of the usual corn crop Is now assured
and cotton is in fairly good condition.
The greatest damage or loss is in the
orange crop. but that is not what 1t
was supposed at one time TO be; great
quantities OF fruit dropped but there
will be a very fair crop yet. The con-
ditions of the groves has improved
wonderfully, since the rainy season set
in.
The melon growers did fairly we'll
the crop here averag ing $40 car. The
peach crop paid we'll considering the
fact that the fruit was very small, ow-
ing to the very dry spring.
The faith of the people in orange Gull
ture is being rapidly restored and
groves are receiving the best of care
this season. Larger quantities of fer
tiIizer have been used than in many
years.
The lie Conte pear orchards in this
county are again coming out as the
blight seems to be leaving them. Heavy
shipments are now being made, and the
pear crop will bring considerable money
into the country.

FOR ATLANTA'S MAYoRALTY

An Interesting One.

Five Are Running and the Race Is
An Interesting One.
Atlanta, July 1.-THE five-cornered
race for Mayor is presenting many in
teresting features, that predominating
just now being the dispute between
Candidate H. G. Stockdell and Candl-
date John B. Goodwin. as to whethe:
the latter did or did not publicly prom
Use that if ne were elected Mayor in
1892 he would not again be a candidate
for that office.
Mr.. Stockdell says Col. Goodwin did
make such promise to the people and
they elected him. Col. Goodwin de-
MES that he made any promise that
would prohibit him from entering the
race at the present time. In the mean
time the other candidates are enjoying
the little tilt between these two.
The others who want to be Mayor
are Councilman James Key, who sig
nalized his entrance into the political
arena by hauling over the Goals the
Police Commission and the police force
generally, DR.. T. D. Longino, alder
man from the Seventh ward, and chair
man of the Board of Health, and James
G. Woodward, who served two years
term as Mayor in 1899 and 1900, and
whose administration in many ways
became a famous one.
The race is exciting a great deal OF
interest. and almost every day is pro-
ductive of a spicy political card or doc
ument of soma sort or other.

EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCE
Held in Athens and Questions of In
terest Discussed.

Athens, Ga, July 15.-The Georgia
Educational Conference met yesterday.
Quite number of the educators of the
state We're present, and the first ses-
sion was full of interest. The address
of the morning was made by Hon. S.
L. Leigh of COweta county. on The
Relation of Citizenship to Scholarship"
He took it as a self-eVident PROPOSE
ton that scholarship improves citizen
ship in, that it renders the citizen more
intelligent and, therefore better quail
fed to exercise the right of suffrage.
Mr.. Leigh, speaking from expert
enCe as a farmer, sald: Scholarship
will pay as large "A dividend on the IN
Nestment on the farm s in the count
ing ROOM or in the forum. Farming
has never taken rank with the learned
professions and other aVoCations of
life. for the reason that the farmers
are as a class uneducated, But our
agricultural college is doing a great
work for the cause of agriculture in
correcting this evil by sending out
men with trained minds men who will
make farming what it should be, not
only the most honorable, but also the
most profitable occupation of life. Our
common schools are helping in this
great work. now that they are required
to teach the elementary principles of
agriculture and civics."
Hon. w b. Merritt, state school
commissioner, spoke next on the pro
posed constitutional amendment, pro-
viding local taxation for school pur-
poses. He declared that while Massa-
chusetts paid out i've times as much
money for her schools as Georgia.
Georgia as a state, paid twenty times
as much as Massachusetts. In Massa-
chusetts the money is secured almost
entirely by local taxation Local tax

Mr. Merritt went on to show that the
schools in Georgia that are being held
for eight and nine months are the
schools that are accomplishing the best
work. His address was a strong pres
entation of the arguments in favor OF
local taxation.
A committee was appointed to draft
a statement of the views OF the confer
ence on the subjects under discussion.

DAUGHTER
Died from Diptheria-Was the
Ex-President's Oldest Child
Born in White House.

PRINCETON, n. j., Jan. S Ruth
Cleveland, eldest child of former Pres
ident Grover Cleveland. died here sud
denly at the family residence.
The girls death was unexpected, and
the immediate cause was weakening
of the heart action during a mild at
tack of diphtheria. DR.. WyckO1, the
attending physician, said that Miss
Cleveland had been i'll for four days
and that the heart affection was not
looked for.
DR.. Joseph d. Bryant Of New York,
Mr. Clevelands physician and intimate
friend, came to Princeton on a hasty
telephone call Miss Cleveland died
before he reached the house.
1t was not generally known in Prince
ton that Miss Cleveland was i'll, and
the news of her death came as a shock
to the community. There is a general
expression of sympathy. Many mes
sages of coincidence from various quar-
tiers are being delivered at the Ceve-
land residence.
In response to many inquiries former
President Cleveland gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
after a few days Illness, which be-
gan with an attack of tonsilitis and
developed suddenly into dlphtheria, our
eldest daughter, Ruth, died suddenly"
Ruth Cleveland was born on Oct. 3,
1891, in her fathers residence, at GIG
Madison avenue, New York, after Mr..
Cleveland had served his first term as
president, She was named after Mrs.
Cleveland's grandmother, and as Baby
Ruth" was great favorlte in Wash
ington society during her fathers sec
ond term in the White House.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland have four re-
naming children - Esther, who was
born in the White House Sept. 8, 1893;
Marion, born at Gray Gables, Buzz
yards Bay, July 7, 1895; II hard Fol
som Cleveland, born here Oct %, 1897,
and Francis Grover Cleveland, born
at Gray Gables, Buzzards Bay.
II is now understood that Miss Cleve-
lands illness prevented Mr.. Cleveland's
attendance at the dinner to Mayor Nc
Clellan in New York.
