Ireland Is Prosperous.

ireland is more prosperous today than
it has ever been,'' said Sir Andrew. Il
do not know. I confess. what would be
the result If the British government were
to grant Ireland home rule at this time.
OF course. no one knows whether we
shall have home rule or not, but it is
a fact that home rule, parochial govern
ment or some other form Of government
will be given Ireland. Wales and Scot
land before many years have passed.
That is the impression prevalent through
out Ireland and for that matter. through
out England and Scotland and Wales.
"a decentralization of government is
necessary in Great Britain. The imperial
parliament must be relieved of much Of
its responsibility and work. It Is well
known that the British parliament is
greatly congested, and there must be
some relief"

you see man is brooding over troubles of his

When you see man is cheerful, as he tries his
way to make, don't go up with forecasts fearful
that will make his bosom ache; do not say his
course is folly in this world of melancholy; if he

ported lying at stingray Point Va. near
where the two-masted bay schooner Hester
A. Waters is stranded. The wrecking

ON THE RIVER FRONT
Seagoing Barge Clara Brooks
Chartered for Tie Service.
LANCLOTT is OVERHAULED
Schooner Maine Out for Repairs
Stranded Schooner Hester A.
Waters to Be Floated.

For service in the transportation OF
railroad ties from Alexandria and other
points on the Potomac to New York, the
big sea-going barge Clara Brooks has
been chartered for a year by l.. A. Clarke
& Son of this city. and will start work
under her new charter early in the COM
ing spring. The Brooks left Alexandria
early in the past week with the last
cargo of ties that will be shipped from
there until all danger of freezing weather
has passed.
Capt Kendrick is overhaulng his
schooner. Lanclott, at the wharf, foot OF
South Capital street, in preparation fOr
resuning service on the river as soon as
he is satisfied the ice-making time is
past. The little vessel is having repairs
made to her decks and hull. sails are
being Overhauled and other work done
to put her i'm good condition for service
The schooner Maine. the largest vessel
of the Carter fleet of this city, is on:
on the marine railway at a Baltimore
shipyard for hull repairs and for calking
that will take several days to complete
The vessel is being put in good trim fol
lumber carrying trips between the Chesa-
peake and New York.
The schooner Bessie Ford has been
taken from the 11th street wharf to Re-
gan's bOatyard to receive general over
hauling in preparation for spring freight
ing work on the river. She has beer
used until recently in running oysters
from the Potomac beds to the market
here.
Rescued From the Future.
Five of the nine men who composed the
crew of the schooner Future, which was
abandoned after being storm battered
and waterlOgged while on her way to this
city with a cargo of lumber from Tampa,
Fla, are known to be safe.
The British steamship Asuncion de
Larronaga. from Galveston for Manches-
ter, England. signaled this fact to the
station at Brow Head as she passed
there. No mention was made by the
officers of the British ship of the four
men of the schooner's crew unaccounted
for. and it is feared they are lost.
The battered hulk of the schooner,
which is kept afioat by the lumber aboard
her. is adrift somewhere on the Atlantic
in the latitude of the New Jersey coast.
Two revenue cutters have been hunting
for her for the past ten days and though
she has been several times reported by
passing steamers, they have been un-
able to find her.
The vessel sailed from Tampa Deem
Der Z, and was wrecked and filled with
water in one of the big storms that swept
the south Atlantic coast early In the
month. She has aboard half million
feet of lumber consigned to Johnson &
Wimsatt, at l2tn street wharf. Loss
will not fall on the local firm as it had
the lumber fully insured. Should the
vessel be lowed into port she will be
taken possession of by the underwriters
and with lumber still aboard her will
probably be sold at public auction to the
highest bidder

MERCHANTS ANTICIPATE AN
EXCELLENT FALL BUSINESS
They viii Buy Big Stocks Of
Goods

Americus merchants are looking for
ward to a large and profitable fa!l
business, and while they have not as
yet gone to market to make purchases
the fact is clearly evident that each
of them will lay in large stocks OF
winter goods when the usual season
of buying has been entered upon a
fortnight hence.
Merchants, as do all others in bust
ness here, make up their estimates OF
purchases based entirely upon cotton
crop conditions. Cotton is the balance
of power, and when the prospect of a
good crop is evident the fall stocks ara
bought accordingly.
Just now the crop prospect is ex-
cellent and is likely to grow better
rather than to deteriorate. This con-
dition brings about better feeling
when the fall purchases are to be
made. 1t will take cotton money to
move the goods in the fall, fact
which the merchants realize more than
any other.
Supply dealers are already making
purchases of cotton bagging and get
ting ready generally for the busy faiY
season, which will be ushered in a
month hence.

FARMERS BEGIN TO FEAR
TOO MUCH rain LOCALLY
Continued Rains May Prove
too Much

While it is true that no injury to the
crops has resulted yet from the ex-
cessiye rains the past ten days, far
mers express the fear that any ions
continuance of the rainy season wi
damage the cotton crop, which re-
quires more sunshine than moisture
in it's growth and development.
The cotton crop is reported in ex-
cellent condition now, and the light
rains, followed by hot sunshine, has
caused it to take on very vigorous
growth. Both young and old cotton
is growing now at very rapid rate
and taking on fruit.
Sumter's first bale is yet week OF
two in the future, but as the plant Is
beginning to open in many localities
it will not be long before new cotton
will be marketed.
The smaller crops, hay, potatoes
and sugar cane, are being vastly help
ed by the continuous showers. The
cane crop was given check in its
growth by the drouth prevailing re-
Gently, but has since recovered it's vi
gor and taken on again a healthy
growth.
