SHIPPING SEEDS.
We are shipping this week 1,500
pounds (fifteen hundred) collard seed
to California, and a large amount of
seven top turnip seed. These seed are ,
grown In Georgia. The Beed trade of,
the Uuited States come to Georgia for
them. There are many people who be- j
lieve that Philadelphia raises most of;
the seeds for Ihe United States, where |
as as a fact, Philadelphia grows but
the smallest fraction of seeds. As a
seed grower she does not figure at all. j
Since one-ha'.f pound of qollards:
will sow an acre, the above shipment
of collards will sow 3000 acres. We
have sold to California In twelve mo
nths enough collard seed alone to
plant 6000 or 7000 acres. So say the

BEST WAY TO ADVERTISE.
Stick up a placard on your door,
It’s noticed there by half a score;
Perhaps a hundred, scarcely more
Than that will ever heed It;
But let an "ad.” your business state
In papers that are up-to-date,
Whose circulations circulate.
And countless thousands read it.

MOW NIiLSON HUNTED FLEETS
Three Month* Before AbouMr and
Two Years Before Trafalgar
Lord Netson wa* thr greatest and
1 moat successful admiral the world pro
i,lured down to the days of steam power
j —yet on more than one occasion he let
i hi* enemy slip past and l»d him a heart
'rending chase for monthu before a blow

jfor the conquest of Egypt and the Ori
jent had been organising tor mn«V

--'son nulled wllh a flying squadron from
Gibraltar to scout off the Frimch r*>M
and ascertain the mission of thr.- French
bU
1 But the enemy eluded him completely,
left Toulon with Bonaparte'* army,
land disappeared at sea with Nolaow
none the wiser for having appeared la
the Gulf of Lyons. Reinforced by ten
ship* of the line, Nelson started in pur
|*ult, but he kent missing the French
fleet. lie called at Alexandria, In
Egypt, but no French ship was there.
Then he chased off to Syracuse, but no
enemy still. Finally after about three
months spent in vain pursuit he ap
peared on August 1 off Alexandria
again, and there he beheld the object
of his scorch anchored In Abouklr hay.
The army of Bonaparte had been safely
landed. The complete destruction of
the French fleet followed, however,
and the ultimate ruin of the Egyptian
campaign v.as assured. The cam
paign of Trafalgar, perhaps the most
memorable In naval history, was Infi
nitely more trying to the patience of
I both Nelson and the English people
than any before It. Americans grow
restless If Cervera's squadron Is not
j overhauled and destroyed In a few
1 weeks, yet It took Lord Nelson over two
fyears to get within striking distance Of
.the combined French and Spanish fleets
which be sent to eternal smash at Tra-
I falgar.
The British admiral blockaded Tou
lon, where tlic French fleet was fitting
1 for sea, a full year and a half, and In
all that time hot once did he touch foot
on the land. And how were his perse
verance endSlvlgilance rewarded? On
January 18,116*1, the enemy broke away
and swept off to sen. It effected a
Junction with the Spanish fleet at Cadiz
—which Nelson had determined to pre
vent. Then the allied force sailed to
the West Indies with Nelson In pur
suit. The chase continued back to Eu
rope again, without success, and Nel
son thereupon left his ship and tempor
arily returned to England. It was not
until October 5, 1806, over eight months
after the French force had escaped
from Toulon harbor, that Nelson finally
met it and the French allies in the bat
tle off Cape Trafalgor.

both of the Twenty-fourth infantry.
Thine t*vo men have won the admira

deared themaeives to their country.
Capt. Ducat, with his lieut/mani, led ,
the charge on June 24 on the block
house "San Jaun," some distance out
of Santiago. The stone house stood at
the top of a hill facing the pathway
leading up to it and Into the town. It
was placed tlure purposely to guard
the approach to the city and to advance
meant for our soldiers to pass It. It
was occupied hy from flfty to sixty well
armed soldiers. Capt. Ducat, with a
detachment cf aevet.ty-flv.' men from
the Twenty-fourth Infantry, charged
this fort. Hi* company charged up the
I hill amidst a perfect hailstorm of bttl-
I lets, which were showered down upon
them, the Americana firing as they

The Spaniards were struck wllh awe,
nt the daring of men who could not he
stepped hy bullets, and when what re
mained of the company arrived at the
top of the bill the Spaniards fled.
A number of the dons were killed.
Neither Capt. Ducat nor Lieut. Lyon
reached the top, hut their fall never
for a moment stopped the onward
march. . . .
Of the seventy-five men wbo Btarfeu
up the hill In the face of the destruc
tive Spanish fire fifty-three arc now in
their graves. Twenty-two reached
and occupied the blockhouse, part of
these being wounded.

custom to give testimonials to remedial
agencies, I feel free to attest to. the
efficacy of the Harlrs Lithia Water
(when used In large quantltes) In the
Rheum,, of id Gouty Diatheses; In
engaged states of the Kidneys; In In
flammation of the Bladder, and In all
cases where there an excess of sol
ids in the urine. Yous respectfully,

Mr. J. T. Harris:
Dear Sir: I enclose you In this letter
several pieces of calculi passed by a pa
" Harris Springs Water" for the past 18
months. This gentleman has been a
sufferer for two or three years with
tient of mine, who has been taking the
Cystitis, caused from stone. The solv
ent power of the water has been, I
think, clearly demonstrated In this case.
All these fragments were passed In two
evacuations from his bladder In the
past ten days. I consider Harris Spring
Water a most excellent remedy in the
Uric Acid Diathesis, also in chronic dys
peptic troubles. I am, yours respect
fully, A. W. BURNET, M. D.
