TRUCKERS LOOK TO
THE WEATHER.

Declare that Rain is Alone Needed
to Make Crops Profitable.
THE strawberry crop this year
around Savannah is about the aver
age" said a we'll known truck farmer
yesterday. THE berries, as a rule, are
not so large, and not so plentiful as
they would have been if it had not
been for the continued spell of dry
weather. What the truck farmers need
at the present time is rain, and until
we get it, all fruits and vegetables
will suffer. We are beginning to ship
English peas north. This crop is bet
ter than it was last season, but it
is not near as good as it would have
been If we had more rain.
The cucumber crop will be ex-
tremely light, as the truck farmers
could not get the seed except at ridicu-
lous prices. Last year we paid so
cents a pound for cucumber seed, and
now the same class of seed is bring
ing from $40 to 81 a pound. The
cabbage crop will also be light this
season. but corn promises well.
I'VE have just started to plant to-
matoes, but they will not be in con-
dition to ship before June 1. The out
look for truck is good II the weather
god only smiles upon U.S."

why their last half hour before climb
ing up the sides of the fire ships was
given up to writing letters home; and
this letter, written by sub-Lieutenant
Torizaki Yasuzo, who was killed. is
a type of all the others. 1t was writ
ten to his uncle in Toxic.
A LieuIenant's Last Letter.
I'VE are to take fire ships into Port
Arthur to block the Russians. 1t is
a daring feat, but we are anxious to
engage in it. We will show the
sword. 1 will never see you again in
this world. Take good care of XII
yoshi (his cousin). This is my final
letter to you. Goodbye"
The volunteers themselves not
alone realized that they were going
into the jaws of death; the whole feet
knew it. Capt. Yashiro, of the bat
tleship Osama, just before the Seve-
enty-Seven were dispatched on their
task, held a farewell celebration for
the five volunteers from his ship. He
piped the crew on deck, brought out
the great silver ceremonial cup (sakad-
zuki), given the Osama' by the
Crown Prince, and filled it with water.
This use of water instead of sake is
significant in Japan. Whenever a
friend starts on journey from which
he may not return, he drinks water
out of the sakadzuki, with his friends.
The crew, then, realized the full sig
nificance of the captains act. Then
the captain spoke. addressing himself
to the little band marked out for
death:
Marked Out for Death.
Ordering you men to bottle up
Port Arthur means sending out be-
loved sons to taste the gall of death.
But If l had 100 sons l would send
all of them on this adventure. Or if
had Just one well-beloved son l would
appeal for him to be sent"
Then, turning squarely to the quin-
tette, he continued:
IF you lose your left hand, work
with the right. If you lose both
hands, work with your feet. If both
feet are shot away, work with your
head. Obey all orders respectfully.
Do not in any degree disobey.
81 am sending you to death. No
doubt you are determined to die, but
that does not mean that you should
die too readily. Do your duty first.
Nor do 1 want you to go on this
errand simply for the fame that will
be yours for centuries of generations
(forever). NV appeal to you Is, do
not think of your life or of fame in
doing this patriotic duty.
1.-The water 1 am drinking with you
is not to encourage you to do your
duty, but ! give it to you as tonic.
You are the representatives. OF the
brave sons Of the "Osama." 1t would
be a. disgrace if it were discovered
that you died by aid of the power of
this cup. Of you sought death be-
cause we drank from this cup.)
GO. Trust all to the Almighty.
Leave life to death in the hands of
God, and with perfect peace dwelling
in you, do this great deed"
These are but fragments of the
deed of the Seventy-Seven Deter
mined Death Body. When the whole
story is known, 1t will undoubtedly
prove to be a close rival of what has
been called the finest national story
of Japan-the Story of the Forty
Seven Ronins.

which he was second engineer. He
was assigned to the fire boat Bushu
Maru, and put in charge OF the en-
s1ne room. AS the Ave boats neared
the harbor, heading skillfully for their
positions, a shot pierced the Bashu
Maru three feet from the engine
room and disabled the engine, setting
the boat clear off its course.
Ordered Crew to the Boats.
The officer in command, seeing the
hopelessness Of attempting to do any
thing more, ordered the crew to es-
cape In the small boats. Keno at
first refused to desert his post ne
still had an idea that he could some
how make his wrecked machinery
work, and eventually place the boat.
Water flooded the engine room, and
still Keno stood by his machinery.
Finally, with the water above his
waist and with tears in his eyes, he
regretfully responded to the last call
and came on deck. His comrades,
with shells bursting all about them,
were alongside in the boats awaiting
his appearance. Just then a ten-inch
shot fell on the deck of the drifting
fire ship, burst, and Keno was seen
to fall.
Died While Leaving His Ship.
A second later several Of his COM
rades had leaped to the deck, and
Keno, mortally wounded in the alb
domen, was lowered into a boat,
which, after narrowly escaping sink
ing from the shells that struck all
around it, eventually reached the
Yashima. There, an hour later, Keno
died.
But he did not die in vain. His
parents in Osaka gave a great feast
in n r II Il AaA
at the tample, and the women of
Osaka, where Keno ran the streets
as boy, cutting off their hair in his
honor, made great ropes of it and
sold them to the temple, where such
ropes are used in ceremonies and in
pulling timbers used In building tenn
pies. The money derived by this sacri-
flee has been turned into the govern
ment war fund; and so Keno, all
though he could not place his ship,
materially benefited his country after
all, for big prices are paid by the
priests for ropes of hair, and hundreds
of Osaka women are minus their
GROWING glory" to-day.
Owe Their Lives to a Sailor.
To the pluck of another of the
Seventy-seven a boat load of his COM
rades owe their lives. This common
sailor was at the tiller, steering the
escaping boat out to sea after the
crews failure to place the fire ship,
when a stray cannon shell shot away
the elbow of the arm that was hold
ing the tiller. The mans other arm
had previously been injured, the boat
was drifting in direct line of the Rus
san fire, when he dropped down on
his knees, grabbed the tiller in his
teeth, and, as if nothing had happened,
steered the boat straight for his bat
tleship. Then, when he saw his
comrades safe and sound on deck, he
tainted from loss of blood and pain.
Such were two of the individual
deeds, and similar stories could be
told of every man who went in with
the fire ships. not one of whom ex-
pected to come out alive. That Is

HEAVY DAMAGES
FROM RAILROADS
ASKED BY INMAN & COMPANY.
SEABoARD AND COAST LINE NAM
ED AS DEFENDANTS.

Total Damages Asked From Coast
Line Amount to $50, 251 .49-Ship-
ments of Cotton From Augusta AL
legged to Have Been Damaged by
Mud and water-DamnEes Asked
From SeabOaFd Aggregate So
620.2S-Minutest Details Given in
COMPREHENSIVE Filed I'm the City
Court.
Suit for SS3,2S1.49 was brought yes
terday in the City Court by Inman &c
Co. against the Atlantic Coast Line
Railway Company.
AT the same time a suit for $4,629.2S
was instituted against the Seaboard
Air Line Railway Company. Both
suits are for alleged damages to cot
ton shipments.
The first suit was filled by Messrs.
Osborne g. Lawrence and Mr.. William
II. Barrett, attorneys for the petit
toner. The petition is voluminous
one, and in setting forth the grounds
of complaint more than 200 typewriter
pages are required. There are 1,3O4
articles to the complaint.
The second suit is not SO voluminous,
there being fewer details to cover. The
minutest details are covered in both
complaints and the damages done TO
the various shipments separately set
forth. The second suit was hled by
Attorney w. H. Barrett.
Contention of Plaintiffs.
The largest of the two suits, the one
against the Coast Line, is made UP OF
a number of shipments which are al
legged to have been damaged while In
charge of the railway company. The
principal points are the same in all
cases, the chief variations being In the
amount of damages.
The first item in the first suit alleges
that on Oct. IL, 1902, the plaintiff COM
pany delivered 300 bales of cotton to
the railway company at Augusta For
a certain consideration this was to be
brought, over the main line and the
sub-lines of the company, to the side
of a ship in Savannah. Here 1t was
10 be loaded and shipped to Germany.
While en- route here, through varying
causes it is alleged that the shipment
of cotton was considerably damaged
by mud and water. Then follows an
itemized statement Of the damage done,
which totals only $14.S4.
Another item, the shipment having
again been 300 bales, Is taken up, the
total damage done having been but
small amount. In this way, the COM
plant sets forth all the causes why
damages should be paid them. until
the total of more than $4,000 is
reached.
Second Suit Similar.
The second suit is almost exactly
similar to the first, with the exception
of the number of counts on which the
complainant asks for damages, the to-
tai amount of damage alleged to have
been done, and the company named az
defendant.
The shipments were made by the In
man company from Augusta, over the
Seaboard Air Line instead of the Coast
Line The damage done to the first
specified shipment is put at 1851 20
BY similar sums, varying only in small
amounts, the total of $4,629.23 is made
up.
The suit against the Coast Line is
the most voluminous that has been
filed in the City Court in a number OF
years.

BOOK NEARLY 200 YEARS OLD.

Mr.. A. II. Lane has among a col
lection of historic relics in his possess
sion, an old copy of THE Confession
Of Faith Put Forth By the Elders and
Brethren of Many Congregations of
Christians CBaptlzed upon Profession
Of Their FAITH in London and The
Country" printed in London, in 1913.
The confession is that of the Ministers
and Messengers of upwards of 100 bap-
tized congregations in England and
Wales (nine denying Armenianism) who
met in London in 1859. The book is a
small leather bound volume, and is in
an excellent state Of preservation, con-
sidering its age and long use. It came
into Mr.. Lanes family a long time
ago, and is kept by him as a priced
relic. Mr.. Lane has also a collection
or Colonial money or various denomi-
nations, bearing many autographs of
historic value.
