Washington, July minister De-
Lome's career in the United States
was marked by one of the most sensa-
tional incidents in the history of
American diplomacy This was the
famous DeLome letter episode of Feb
ruary, 1898, in the heat of the Cuban
excitement and barely two months be-
fore the outbreak of the Spanish War.
The letter was a personal one to Senior
Don Jose Canalejas, containing very
deprecatory utterances about Presi-
dent Mckinley. Canalejas was a prom
inent editor and old friend of the min
lister. DeLome in this letter. which
was intercepted by the Cuban junta
and published broadcast throughout
the country said:
Besides the natural and inevitable
coarseness with which he repeats all
that the press and public opinion of
Spain has said of Weyler, it shows
and catering to the rabble. and, be-
sides, a low politician. who desires to
leave a door open to me and to stand
well with the jingoes of his party"
This letter was published in a fac
simile of the original and to Secre-
tary Day. who hurried to the legation
and Immediately confronted the dip
lomat with the letter, DeLome admit
ted its authenticity. DeLome executed
very diplomatic coup by cabling his
resignation to Madrid instantly, so as
to precede this governments demand
for his recall. He sent a second cable
gram insisting on its acceptance, with
which the Madrid cabinet complied,
although subsequently expressing its
regret at the action of its minister.

THE "GOING AWAY" HABIT.

Editor Morning News: We want to
say word to those who have been in
the habit of going away every summer
for two or three months.
Did it ever occur to you how pleas
ant home is in comparison with the ma
jority of so-called summer resorts;
think of the conveniences and benefits
of home. your comfortable room, good
bed, a bath tub of clear water await
ing you morning and night, a varied
market to choose from, plenty of pure
milk and cream. and an abundance of
fruit in season. Do you get these away
from home as a rule? We think not.
Then our resorts: excursion days to
Tybee Csc round trip, sc to Thunder
bolt. and no charge for a comfortable
rocker on a spacious piazza, with the
privilege of drinking in the sweet sea
air. Also a long ride to Isle of Hope
and Montgomery at a trifling cost, and
car. ride around for a nickel, the half
hour it takes to make the trip will put
you in a good humor and insure a
pleasant nights sleep.
Compare this with unsatisfactory
fare, uncomfortable beds, a ten by
twelve room barely furnished, and the
sociable country fly early in the morn
ing and lively at meal times. Several
have given their experience that the
summers spent in Savannah have been
their most pleasant ones. All should
have recreation. but few weeks will
suffice to recuperate, and not the whole
summer. Think of the money that
could be retained at home, if the go
ing away" habit was abandoned. To
keep UP the custom very often strains
the pocketbook of many who dislike to
be thought not able to take the long
vacation.
A little moral courage and few ex-
amples of staying at home in summer
time will help those pass the warm
months pleasantly who cannot get
away, and add to the general prosper
ity of our city. Citizen.

DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS A
SURPRISE TO CONVICTION.

Covington. Ca, June 1S.-The news
Of the divorce and alimony proceed
ings of Mrs. Edna Henderson, against
her husband, Ike p. Henderson, be-
fore Judge L. S. Roam, of the Stone
Mountain circuit, in Atlanta to-day,
produced quite little sensation in
CovinGton this afternoon. Mr.. and
Mrs. Henderson have resided here sirce
their marriage, several years ago, Mr.
Henderson himself having been reared
in Covington. They were both held in
high esteem by their numerous friends
in this city, and it was not known by
their most intimate friends that diff
ferences of an irreconcilable nature
existed between them.
Mrs. Henderson left Covington about
six weeks ago for her home, near At
lanta, but the impression was that it
was only one of her accustomed visits
to her parents, and there was not the
slightest suspicion among their friends
here of any domestic unhappiness

relatives here are among the most

NEW DISEASE OF
SEA ISLAND COTTON
Black Rings on the Stalks Cause
Decay.

Black Rings on the Stalks Cause
Decay.
Blackshear, Ca, June 1S.-What is
apparently new disease has made it's
appearance in sea island cotton in this
county. A plant that is otherwise APP
parently normal will show black ring
on it's stem just above the surface of
the ground. This ring is usually about
an inch in width. At this point the
stem begins to decay and in a little
while is so weakened that little breeze
causes 1T to break off and fall over.
This trouble has made its appearance
IN a number of places in this county
TO a greater or less extent, and in at
least one instance fully one-third of
the affected field is dead. Thus far
no satisfactory explanation has been
offered, but specimens of the diseased
plants have been forwarded 20 the Ag-
ricultural Department at Washington
for examination and investigation.
