THE COTTON CROP.
The Condition in Georgia and South Caro- !
lina.
The weather conditions in Georgia havo
not. materially changed during the past
week or two, and crops over most of the
state are needing rain. Got ton lias suffered
least from the drought and is making
steady though not rapid improvement. It
has been thoroughly worked, and in some
sections is blooming and taking on
squares. Corn is suffering in some sec
tions and needing rain generally. Gardens
and grass are failing rapidly and in many
localities water is growing scarce. Wheat
hat vest is over in most sections and the
crop is unusually large and godo. All
crops are well worked and would be very
much hem tiled by' good saoking rains.
The continued absence of a general,
heavy rain in South Carolina, will soon
entail suffering in that state. Small
streams are dried up In Barnwell, and all |
stnams ire getting very low; wells arc
failing and in many instances have been
sunk from ten to fifteen feet deeper to get
water. The drought has in places existed
for from thirty to forty days with a high
temperature -prevailing, and generally
bright sunshine and dessieating winds.
Cotton has generally received its second
plowing, and is chopped to stands, except
in the extreme western counties. In many
localities cotton is in tine condition. Fields
are .lean and well cultivated. Cotton is '
putting on squares in the southeastern
counties. On the same date in 1597. squares
were general over the eastern half of the
state.
SHAM’BATTLE -
AT CHICKAMAUGA
Grant’s Battle Problem Was
Put Into Practice Today
and Proved a Success.
Chickamauga. June 11.---The event to
day at Chickamauga was the execution of
General Grant’s battle problem. In this
problem were a number of new and diffi
cult maneuvers and it was watched with
grea (interest by thousands of officers and
men.
maneuvers were all well carried out
according to Grant’s excellently conceived
plan, and the fact was demonstrated that
many sham battles will be useful in actual
conflict.
The battle began at 7 o’clock and was
concluded before noon. There were two
columns in the formation. The first con
sisting of the First Vermont, the Third
Tennessee and the Eighth New York regi
ments. were commanded by Colonel Clark,
of Vermont, and formed along the Vine
yard road
The second column, consisting of the
Fourteenth New York, Second Nebraska
and First Missouri, under command of
Colonel Chas. Bills, of Nebraska, formed
on thb road and up to till the two columns
met. when the struggle began in earnest.
When this was finished General Grant
threw the two columns together to ward
off the suposed attack from some diiee
tion which he was not supposed to have
knowledge of in advance.

DuBIGNON ON CANDLER.
The Victory Nainrally a Pleasing One to
Him.
Hon. Fleming G. dußignon, chairman of
the state Democratic executive committee,
passed through Macon yesterday.
"i.Nalurally,” said he, "I am greatly
pleased with Colonel Candler’s victory,
and especially with the fact that It was so
overwhelming, as to demonstrate beyond
a question of doubt that he was the choice
of the vast majority of the pary. He will
have probaldy three votes in the conven
tion to . very one for the combined opposi
tion. The result exceeded even the hopes
of his most sanguine friends. They all
regarded him as a sure winner, but
thought that in some sections the opposi
tion would make a better showing than it
did. I had predicted that he would carry
ninety-five counties, but he will have the
votes of a greater number than that.
“It is much better for the party that it
is so, and that there will be no deadlock
in the convention, and a resulting bitter
struggle with I! the evil results flowing
therefrom. Then convention at Atlanta on
June 29, will merely confirm the action of
the voters on last Monday.
“Colonel Candler will .be governor of
Oforgia, because the mass of the Demo
ci atL? nnfrty want him to be so. That is the
only idea that Monday’s election conveys.
All that is to be done now is to forget the
campaign and stand united for the ticket
that will soon be officially' placed in the
field.”
Mr. dußignon said that Colonel Candler
was naturally quite exuberant over his
success. He had been the target for attack
from two opposing candidates, had been
unable to speak to -but a comparatively
few of the people, and It was a source of
unlimited gratification to him that his re
cord of the past had been indorsed by the
conferring of another great political honor
upon him.

SAMPSON TELLS
(HEROISM
The Official Details of the
Sinking of the Merrimac
Told in Dispatch,
BEGGED ton THE POSITIOH.
Hobson Wanted to be the Man to
Carry Out the Plan He Had
Perfected,
Washington, June 11—The navy depart
ment today posted the following bulletin
giving the detailed official report from
Admiral Sampson upon the heroism of
Lieutenant Hotbson and his men in sink
ing the 'Merrimac in Santiago channel.
United States Fagship New York, off
Santiago, June 3—Permit me to call the
special attention to (Assistant Naval Con
structor Hobson.
“As stated in aspecial telegram before
coming here I decided to make the harbor
entrance secure against the possibility of
egress by the Spanish ships by obstructing
the narrow part of the entrance by sink
lug a collier at that point.
“Upon calling upon Hobson for his pro
fessional opinion as to a sure method of
sinking a ship, he manifested the most
lively interest in the 'problem. After sev
eral day’s consideration he presented the
solution which he considered would insure
the immediate sinking of the ship when
she reached the desired point in the chan
nel.
This plan was prepared for execution
when we reached Santiago. The plan con
templated a crew of only seven men and
Hobson, who begged it might be entrusted
to him. The anchor chains were arranged
on deck for both anchors forward and aft,
the plan including the anchoring ship al
most automatically. As soon as I reached
Santiago, and had the collier to work on,
the details wer diligently prosecuted hop
ing to complete them in one day as the
noon and tide served best the first night
after our arrival.
“Notwithstanding every effort the hour
cf 4 in the morning arrived and the prep
aration was scarcely completed.
“(After careful inspection of the final
preparations I was forced to relinquish the
plan for that day as dawn was breaking.
“Hobson begged to be allowed to try it
at all hazards. The next morning proved
more propitious as a prompt start was
made. Nothing has (been more gallantly
executed. 'We waited impatiently after the
firing by the (Spaniards had ceased.
“When Hobson and his crew did not re
appear from the harbor at 6 o’clock I fear
ed that all had perished. The steam
launch which had been sent in charge of
Naval Cadet Powell to rescue them ap
peared at this time coining out under a
persistent fire from the batteries (but
brought none of the crew.
A careful inspection of the harbor from
this ship showed that the vessel IMerrimac
had been sunk in the channel.
“This afternoon the chief of the staff of
tCervera came out under a flag of truce
with a letter form the admiral ting
the bravery of the crew in an ut.f.sual
manne?.
I cannot myself too earnestly express
my appreciation of the conduct of Hobson
and his gallant crew. I venture to say that
a more brave and daring thing has not
been done since the Cushing blew up the
Albemarle.
“Referring to the inspiring letter which
you addressed to the officers at the be
ginning war I am sure you will offer a
suitable professional reward to (Hobson
and his companions.
“I must admit that Commander Miller
relinquished command with the greatest
reluctance, believing he would retain the
command, but he was, however, convinced
that the attempt of anothehr person to
carry out the multitude of details which
had been prepared by Hobson might en
danger its proper execution. I therefore
take the liberty to relieve him for this
reason only. There were hundreds of vol
unteers who were- anxious to participate.
There were 150 from the lowa, nearly as
many from this ship and a large number
from all the other ships ,of officers and
men alike. (Signed.) W. T. Sampson.”
PEACHES BY THE TRAIN LOAD.
A Railroad Man's Estimate of the Peach
Crop.
Mr. M. H. Connolly, Florida agent of th»
North Carolina and St. (Louis and the
Louisville and Nashville railroads, was in
the city today. (Mr. Connolly has just
been through the Georgia peach belt. He
reports the crop in magnificent condition.
The growers are enthusiastic over the
quality of the fruit this year and the size
of the crop.
The shipsments wil be between 2.000 and
2,500 carloads, it is estimated, and good
prices are anticipated for the bulk of the
fruit. From what Mr. Connolly says, the
lovers of delicious peaches will have no
grounds to complain this year of any
scarcity in the supply.
Speaking of the Florida orange crop,
Mr. Connolly stated that the drought has
probably cut it down one-third to one-half
below what it was expected the cron would
be. At one time the yield of the groves
this year was estimated at between 750.000
and 1,000.000 boxes, but the long continued
dry weather caused a great quantity of the
fruit to drop, and it is now believed that
the crop will be in the neighborhood of a
half million boxes. Growers expect fancy
prices, though, and are far from being dis
heartened.

RIDICULOUS
Rumor of Claims Because Bowen Jumped

Washington, June 11. —The state depart

the report coming from Europe that a
formal claim Against tUe 'United Stages
government is to be (based upon the alleged
attack by United States Consul Bowen,
lately -Rationed at Barcelona, Spain, upon
a couple of French waiters named Pang.
The assault is reported to have been
made by Mr. Bowen while he was acting
under the belief that they were Spaniards
attempting his life.
The opinion here is that if the matter
was as it was represented, it might he a
proper case for a police magistrate. Such
a proceeding, of course, would come to
nothing in the absence of Mr. Bowen from
Barcelona.

The Landing of Men at Havana
Would Mean Death of Twenty
Thousand of Them.
New York, June 11 —The Medical News
in its issue of today will publish a discus
sion of the advisability of a summer cam
paign in Cuba .written by Dr. J. F. Lane,
of Philadelphia, who is a Cuban-American
in which he says in part:
“The unpreparedness of the military
branch of the government has become so
apparent and from all accounts the neces
sity of a much larger body of troops to
invade the island so evident that I can
can well understand the hesitation on the
part of Washington authorities to land
troops at this season of the year around
Havana and Matanzas. In fact I am about
convinced that unless Havana capitulates
in the meantime from lack of food no
troops will be landed in that province be
fore October or November.
“Around Santiago the conditions are dif
ferent. The country all about is hilly
and much more healthy and by utilizing
the several thousand insurgents in the
neighborhoods for the purpose of garrison
ing the city after its capitulation the.
American troops could be safely encamped
all summer under decidedly more advan
tageous conditions than at Chickamauga
or Tampa.
“From the point of the view of a Cuban,
this pacific blockade, especially if kept up
all summer, means the ’practical extermi
nation of all the people in these three
provinces Pinar del Rio, Havana and
Matanzas—and as this war, we were
told, was undertaken for the very purpose
of saving these people why should Amer
ican troops not be immediately landed on
this island, even if they do run the risk
of a high death rate from climatic condi
tions, etc? *
“On the other hand,- as American’s we
are justified in reasoning this matter. We
are certainly prepared for Spanish under
taking. Our soldiers, mostly men who are
only yesterday clerks and mill hands are
not even supplied with one of 11 ■ most
essential and vital things for a summer
acmpaign in the tropics and that is suit
able clothing. In such an undertaking, we
know that climate does not influence mor
tality as much as deficient preparations
and lack of organization; therefore, let us
take into consideration the l»ve-. of twenty
thousand or thirty thousand lAmeriaen
troops as against these unfortunates who

“This pacific blockade will certainly
force Havana to capitulate long before Oc
tober and by that time we shall have a
thoroughly trained and properly equipped
body of troops.”

Washington, June 11.—The reports of
friction between army headquarters and
the various supply bureaus of the war de

officers of the departments under whose
direction these matters come.
It is admitted by these officials that in
shippinggreatquantities of subsistance and

their unloading, but on behalf of the com
missaries branch it is stated authoritative
ly that there has never been any controver
sy with the higher officials regarding this
matter and no delay in depositing at the
points designated by the authorities all the
supplies needed. On the contrary it is as

more than enough for all purposes needed

GROWERS WILL
FORCE ISSUE
They Are Full of Fight and
Will Force Armour Peo
ple and Central.
TO FIGHT TO »MU,
Tried Bluff and Threats but Failed
to Make Any Impression
Whatever,
The committee representing the fruit
growers of the state which has been in ses
sion at the Brown House for the last three
days, has adjourned, after having issued
the circular, the outline of which was
given in The News yesterday.
The fight is on in earnest. The Armour
refrigerating people are determined not to
abate any point in their contract or to re
duce the pri-e of the ears. They claim to
have corn. r. J the ice any say that if they
do not get their price they can ruin the
growers and make the crop a failure, so
far as any returns are concerned.
But they have run up against the wrong
crowd, and the growers are equally as de
termined as they arc.
The Continental Fruit Express Company
say that it is nonsense for the Armour peo
ple to talk about having the ice cornered,
and say that they will be able to handle all
the fruit that is given thorn, and that they
will handle it to the full satisfaction of
the growers.
There have been several warm inter
views between the representatives of the
Armour people and the fruit growers’ com
mittee within the last few days. The Ar
mour people have tried everything. They
have tried threats and they have tried
bluffs, but they have failed to make any
impression at any point.
As it looks at present it looks as if the
fruit growers were bound to win their
fight. They are determined and as it will
be a -week or ten days before the shipment
of peaches begins, the Continental people
will have ample time to get their cars to
any point in the state.
If the Central road refuses to haul the
cars of the Continental people, then a man
dimus will be taken out in the courts.
It is more than probable that a test case
will be pushed within the next four or
five days.
Colonel John M. Stubbs, of Dublin, went
home this afternoon, but he will return on
Monday. He is full of determination and
says tnat the growers shall wi.i the fight
this time, as it means the whole future of
t K e ’easiness ana the very li*’? of the fruit
growers.
He says that the making of the peaches
will be delayed on account of tho Inns'
drought and that the shipping will not
commence for the next ten days.

MIXED FLOUR
Adulterated Goods Will Have
to be So Marked.
Several copies of the new bill imposing
various war taxes were received by Macon
wholesale merchants yesterday from Con
gressman Bartlett .
One of the features of the bill that is
especially interesting to wholesale and re
tail grocers, and to the consuming public,
is that regarding adulterated, or, as it is
called, mixed flour. Since the rapid rise
in the price of wheat enormous quantities
of greatly adulterated flour have been sold
everywhere in the country. Corn flour
and corn starch have been largely used
as adulterants. It is safe to say that the
proportion of flour sold containing one or
the other of these articles has been larger
than that containing only wheat. Com
plaints have been very numerous, espe
cially from bakers. The government, in
placing a tax and other restrictions on this
adulteration, will not only derive a con
siderable revenue, but enable the public
to know what it is buying.
The tax will be a certain amount on each
barrel, 4 cents being named originally, and
an additional tax. it is said, on all dealers
in the adulterated goods. In addition ail
barrels, or other packages, containing
adulterated flour must be plainly stamped
“mixed flour.’’
The Macon grocery jobbers are well
pleased with this provision of rhe new
revenue measure. They prefer to have the
goods they buy stamped so that neither
they nor the customers will be deceived
as to their exact character. One effect of
the law will be, it is believed, an advance
in the price of pure wheat flour unless the
public shows a willingness to take the
mixed goods at their lower prices.
Pay your second install
ment of city tax by June 15.
and save tax execution.
