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. * tty ('outt Cubed. George W. Owens, Esq., acted as Solici tor General In the City Court yesterday morning. Solicitor General dußignon being absent on the circuit. The only esse tried was that of Stephen Thompson, who was found guilty of lar ceny and was sentenced to six months on the chain-gang. Tbe City Court will meet this morning at 10 o’clock. 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.

In the last of the third inning, with a man on third, Arun del hatted the ball into lett field and started out for second base. Tbe bail was thrown to Strief.

No head of a family should I ever be without It. 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. K. M. O. I’nbtjc Opinion, No. 4.

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. eoroete. g JfJPI % 4 *5 ARC STILL TRIUMPHANT!
