! f-: fleet of the Dry Weather on Yege
j t able Crops—The Need of Main.
| Heads of families aro daily lamenting
{ the high prices of spring vegetables. The
| high price is due to the unusual scarcity
! the dealers say, and the scarcity is due to
the drought.
“The strawberry crop is 6hort one-lialf
in tins section,” said Mr. Putzel, of
Putzel A Harmon, yesterday. “Charles
ton is suffering too from dry weather,” he
added.
It has not rained here this
month, with the exception ot a few drops
on the 7th. The last good, soaking rain
! was about the last of April, and since
then there has not been enough to take
the curl out of an ostrich leather. Fields
and gardens are as dry and almost us
dusty as the crossings on Broughton
street. Everything in tne way oi truck is
parching up, the market gardeners say,
and unless there oomes a liberal rain the
crops will bo dismal failures. Potatoes
are not growing, and although they are
still small the growers are digging and
shipping them. The prices of potatoes
are not to lie grumbled at, though. Beans,
too, are suffering, and the outlook for the
crop is not cheering.
About tbe only thing that is safe and
that promises fairly now is tbe peach
crop. It is safe only so far, but if it has
no set back a better crop may bo ex
pected than was obtained last year.
The spring vegetables cannot make
anything like a tull crop now, and every
day that the dry weatner continues is
cutting the yield of the early summer
vegetables and fruit.
I)KY AND DUSTY.
Tlie Modest Mercury Only Keaclies
7<lin the Shade.
So far as temperature was concerned,
yesterday was pleasant enough. The
mercury wan not so aspiring by 15 de
grees as it was a few days ago. Seventy
six in the shade is endurable. Key West
had it that hot at midnight, while in Sa
vannah the mercury stood at only 70.
Early yesterday morning the mercury
got down its low ns64.it was cloudy pretty
much all dav. The western sky looked
black and threatening off and on from
daybreak until dark. Showers and storms
were predicted by pretty nearly every one
who had an opinion on the weather.
But as all signs fail when there has not
been any rain for two or three weeks the
clouds did not bring showers. Last night
it was still cloudy but the weather men
would not guarantee a pint of water.
They intimated that about the only hope
Chatham countv can legitimately
entertain Is in a thundergust. No signals
were flying last, night and there wero no
immediate prospects that the drougth
would he broken to-day,
PROBABLY A SUICIDE.
A Negro Prisoner in the Jail
Found Dead in His Cell.
Mont Nelms, recently committed to jail
as a lunatic, died in his cell on Sunday
under circumstances that indicate sui
cide. When the guard’s attention was
first attracted to him Nelms was lying on
the floor of his cell still warm. On his
forehead were four cuts that looked as if
they had been made by Nelms butting his
head against tbe iron grated door. A
boy, who is also a ivinatic, in an adjoin
ing cell, said that he heard Nelms when
be fell, but the boy could not see whether
Nelms slipped ami fell, or whether he fell
from hitting his head against the door or
walls. Nelms was buried yesterday. He
was formerly a driver in the employ of
Capt. W. D. Dixon.

IN THE RAILWAY WORLD.
Items Gathered Along the Track
and Crossties.
Metallic sleepers for railways have
come into very extended use in Germany,
aoout 5,500 miles of metallic permanent
way existing there in I*B4.
The Union Pacific Railway Company
has commenced the erection of a tie-pre
serving plant in Laramie City. This plant
is the only one ot the kind in the West,
and one of three in the United States, the
others being those of the Atchison, To.
peka and Santa Fe road nt Las Vegas and
of the Kook Island road at Chicago. In
it the ties are treated by the zinc tanning
process of Burnettizing. which makes the
soft wood almost as hard as oak, and
keeps It much longer free Trora decay.
It Is Never Too Late to Learn.
Some English railway magnates visited
the United States not long ago to lnsnect
our railrosd system. They journeyed
over eeveral of the trunk lines, and on
their return home reported that there is
nothing in American methods that can lie
introduced into Great Britain with ad
vantage. Not long after a terrible snow
storm blockaded traffic on the English
lines. In some cases trains were imbed
ded in the snow forts hours. As the ears
were not heated, the passengers suffered
severely. As there was no drinking
water on the trains, they also endured
the panes of thirst. As there were no
snow plows In the railway equipment,
they had to wait for a thaw, being all the
time hungry, thirsty and ball frozen. It
would seem that our recent English vlsi
tors were a little too hnsty in their con
elusions aboutlhe absolute perfection of
their own railway system.
Another Kiriku l i
The Railway Ago urges all railway
employes in tbe land to strike —atininst
rum. “Whisky,” it adds, “is an intinitely
greater evil to them than long hours or
poor pay. Vastly more money is squan
dered tti strong drink than any advance
In wages can offset. Intemperance not
capital—-Is the great oppressor of labor.
Let tbe Knights of l.at>or and all other
labor organizations Inaugurate a deter
mined strike against strong drink, and
tbe greatest evil of tbe age and of tbe
world may bo overthrown.
Change of climate and water often af
fect tbe action of the bowels. One or two
Brandreth’s Pills taken every night, are a
perfect remedy In such case; they also
prevent malaria and are a protection
against typhus fever, or diseases arising
rotn bad sewerage.

third inning, with a man on third, Arun

started out for second base. Tbe bail was
thrown to Strief. Arundel saw that the
only chance he had of reaching second
safe was to get In his old-time work of
running into the baseman. Strief was
knocked down, and it was thought
was seriously hurt. Arundel
reached his base, but was declared out
for running into tbe baseman. This
seamed to change things. In the next
inning, with three tuen on ba-es. Miller
lifted the ball over the lett field fence for
a home run, bringing two men across tbe
plate. Later on Stockwell made another
home run and won the game. There was
considerable excitement in the hall, and
when Miller and Stockwell hit for home
runs the cheering could be heard half a
a dozen blocks away.

Messrs. Bacon and Gordon.
Editor Morning Metes: 1 see in the
papers that Messrs. Bacon and Gordon
have made arrangements to discuss the
“issues involved in the pending contest
for the Gubernatorial nomination.” That
ts to say, according to my idea of things,
that Messrs. B. and G. have assumed to
them3elvesto be the- only candidates that
will he before the convention. Pretty
bold stroke on their part to make issues
for tho people—a declaration that UuUr
claims nro to be presented to the conven
tion and no one’s else.
Asa voter, and one who assumes to
think and speak for himself. I am for
neither, under the circumstances, and
am ready to vote for some good, able man,
who has far more modesty and less self
conceit than to think that tlie state is
reduced to a “Hobson’s choice,” as be
tween Messrs. Bacon and Gordon. What
ever the merits of these gentlemen may
be, they have been fully recognized in the
past. Fidelity in office is an obligation
and not a virtue; to give one’s time
ana talents to a position sought for
eagerly carries with it a duty, ati obliga
tion and a trust. The people recogniza
no claims, and to assert such lor auv
sell-declared candidate is to insult the
common intelligence of the people.

chasers will save money by examining this
very extensive slock before buying elsewhere.

Health in the Bread.
i
Perfect food is that which, while prepared in the most
appetizing form, is also the most wholesome and nutritious.
It should never be necessary to sacrifice the wholesomenesa
of an article in order to make it more palatable, nor, aa is
too often the case, should we be compelled to take our
bread or cake bereft of its most appetizing qualities in
order to avoid injury to our digestive organs.
The Royal Baking Powder possesses a peculiar quality,
not possessed by any other leavening agent, that applies
directly to this subject. It provides bread, biscuit, cake,
muffius, or rolta which may be eaten when hot without
inconvenience by persons of the most. delicate digestive
organs. With most persons it is necessary that bread raised
with yeast should lose its freshness or become stale before
it can be eaten with safety. The same distressing results
follow from eating biscuit, cake, pastry, etc., raised by the
cheap, inferior baking powders that contain lime, alum, or
other adulterants, The hot roll and muffin and the deli
cious hot griddle cakes raised by Royal Baking Powder are
as wholesome and digestible as warm soup, meat, or any
other food.
Another greatly superior quality possessed by the
Royal Baking Powder is that by which the preservation of
important elements of the flour is effected in raising the
bread by the mechanical operation of the gas without fer
mentation. Yeast, and all baking powders that produce.the
leavening gas by fermentation, as is well known, destroy a
portion of the nutritive elements of the flour, and particu
larly those which are the most healthful and the greatest
aids to a perfect assimilation of the food. The Royal
Baking Powder, while perfectly leavening, retains without
change or impairment all those elements which were in
tended by nature, when combined in our bread, to make it
literally the “ staff of life.”
No leavening agent or baking powder, except the Royal
Baking Powder, possesses these great qualifications.
