The receipts of the custom
houses during August aggregated
a little mere than $14,000,000.
The pension payments aggregated
something more than $12,000,000
for the same period. The receipts
for internal revenues were about
$23,000,000, and the disburse
ments on account of the war with
Spain somewhere in the neighbor
hood of that amount. With the
pensions on account of the war of
secession eating up the custom re
ceipts, and the war with Spain
eating up the internal revenue re
ceipts, how long may that pile of
money in the treasury received
from the recent sale of bonds be
expected to last ? Savannah

We are going to join the Press
Association. Editor Russell, ot
the Cedartown Standard, has got
“his sameness” in the annual pro-
\
ceedings.
The Brunswick Times suggests
that “ Uncle Allen ” has fallen
heir to “ Little Aleck’s ” habit of
toting his own skillet.
Colonel Candler declared in his
Milledgeville speech that “ free
silver was not a cardinal doctrine
of the democratic party.” What
if he did ? The people of Georgia
have overwhelmingly chosen him
as a democratic candidate for gov
ernor and it is wasting words to
discuss the matter. Let all good
democrats come together and elect
“Uncle Allen” in October.—Dal
ton Citizen.
Good. The Citizen takes the
correct view of the situation.
The Citizen made an open, manly
fight against Col. Candler in the
primary, but being a good Demo
crat now fails into line and wields
its blade most fearlessly for the
people’s chosen leader. Rome

The Savannah News’ annual
trade edition was up to its usual
standard, which is saying a great
deal.
An exchange says there are no
monkeys in Porto Rico. Will
somebody loan us a hand-organ ?
It begins to look as if there will
be more investigations than annex
ations.
We think that the efforts of
Jol. Candler to unite the two fac-
.ons of the Democratic party in
tate politics are laudable, and
tiat he should be given all the
apport and encouragement neces-
iry to secure a sweeping victory,
nd all efforts to create dissension
1 party ranks in the State are to
e deprecated.—Brunswick Times.
In our issue of March 3d we

France has not forgiven nor for
gotten the Franco-Prussian war of
1870, and is egotistical enough to
believe she can lick the Germans
and regain Alsace Lorain. The
re-opening of the Dreyfus affair
may give her the opportunity.
« The trouble is,” says the Ma
con Telegraph, “ some of the would
be leaders of the Democratic party
in Georgia do not know what
the cardinal principles of the party
are.”

Kicked on Negro Officer.
Brunswick, Ga., Sept. 5.—Ma
jor R. R. Wright, colored, of Sa
vannah, acting paymaster, today
paid off the troops at Camp John
B. Gordon to date.
A sensational scene occurred
while the operation of paying off
the men of company G, Third
Texas, was in progress. When
Corporal Giddings’ name was call
ed the corporal, a stalwart Texan,
came forward, but instead of tak
ing his money as the others had
done, gave the colored major a
round of curses.
“ My father was commander of
the department of Texas in the
civil war,” the corporal exclaimed,
•• and I have too much good South
ern blood in my veins to take my
pay from a negro.”
The corporal refused to take his
pay, and this started a commotion
in the camp that came near result
mg seriously to the negro officer.
The latter dispatched his clerk,
also a negro, to Col. Burgwyn’s
headquarters, to ask that he be
given a body guard. This was
furnished. To increase the excite
ment a civilian, whose name could
not be learned, mounted a barrel
in the company street, and de
claimed loudly against placing
negro superiors over white soldiers
in the volunteer service. The
civilian orator was marched out of
the camp lines by order of the
colonel, and Major Wright com
pleted his task under difficulties.
To escape anticipated violence,
Wright ma^e his trips to and from
the island in the steam launch
Charley D., which he chartered.
There is much indignation among
the soldiers over the fact that a
negro was sent to pay them off.
AFTER RAIN.
Stephen Phillips, in the May Atlantic Monthly.
After rain, after rain,
O sparkling Earth!
All things are new again,
Bathed as at birth.
Now the lovely storm hath ceased,
Drenched and released
Upward springs the glistening bough,
In sunshine now;
And the raindrop from the leaf
Runs and slips;
Ancient forests have relief;
Old foliage drips.
All the earth doth seem
Like to Diana issuing from the stream,
Her body flushing from the wave,
Glistening in beauty grave;
Or like perhaps to Venus, when she rose,
And looked with dreamy store across
the sea,
As yet unconscious of her woes,
Her woes, and all her wounds that
were to be.
Or now again!
After the rain.
Earth like that early garden shines,
Vested in vines.
Oh, green, green,
Eden is seen!
After weeping skies
Rising Paradise!
God there for his pleasure,
In divinest leisure,
Walking in the sun,
Which hath newly run.
Soon I might perceive
The long-tressed Eve.
Startled by the shower,
Venture from her bower,
Looking for Adam under perilous sky,
While he hard by
Emerges from the slowly dropping
blooms,
And odorong green glooms.
FRUITS I FIND PROFITABLE.
Admiral Dewey will retire from
service next year.
In a paper read before the Texas Hor
ticultural Society, E. W. Kilpatrick says:
“Extending through a series of years,
experience fixes upon the following list
of profitable fruits: Japanese persim
mon, hybrid pears, peaches, plums, ap
ples, berries and grapes.
“By wise choice of varieties and by
providing suitable conditions these fruits
are producing from §100 to $1,000 per
acre of land each year. I find the Japan
ese persimmon very valuable and easily
propagated and grown. The trees come
in bearing while young and produce
large crops of richest fruit of the highest
price. Any person can produce an orch
ard by planting native persimmon seed
and then ring-bud in June of graft in
March. This tree and fruit are compar
atively free of insects and diseases.
“Hybrid pears, such as Garber, Smith
and Keiffer, are very valuable, produc
ing large quantities of fruit, which be
comes very valuable after being stored a
few weeks. These fruits are compara
tively free of enemies, are easily trans
planted and succeed on good soil under
laid with rich, moist clay.
“Among the long list of peaches grow
ing in Texas we find the Oriental hybrids
most valuable. A few of the leading va
rieties are Japan Blood, Sneed, Mamie
Ross, General Lee, Family Favorite, El-
berta and Sylphide Cling. A great num
ber of new varieties of these hybrids are
being introduced to the exclusion of
many old standard varieties.
“Plums in many varieties are univer
sal in adaptation to Texas soil. Here
again the Oriental varieties are constant
ly growing in popularity, but many of
our native varieties are indispensable.
A few well-known valuable varieties are
Kerr, Botan, Burbank, of the Orientals,
and Wild Goose, Arkansrs Lombard,
Weaver and Golden Beauty, of the native
varieties.
“The plum and peach have several in
sect enemies which can be easily com
batted by frequent shallow cultivation
of the orchard soil during the winter
and spring months.
“The apple, when planted in rich,
moist location, is of great value in Texas.
A few successful standard varieties are
Yellow Transparent, Red June, Summer
Queen, Ben Davis, Winesap and fc>hoek-

“Blackberries are among the most re
liable and valuable of all fruits. Almost
free from insects and other pests, the
blackberry is rich and healthful and
should be in every collection.
“Some native dewberries, large ann
very prolific, have been added to the list
of most valuable fruits. The Austin,
Mayes and many other varieties are
highly valued.
“The grape, like the plum ann black
berry, in some of its forms is well adapt
ed to all parts of the country. The
Herbemont grape appears to be the most
popular in Texas. Niagara, Brighton,
Concord, Ives and many others have
their champions. Several varieties of
the famous European types are being in
troduced and proving hardy and valuar
ble.
“Many new and superior fruits of all
kinds are being introduced and which
are destined to supercede some of the
old standards.
“The task of top-working our native
pecan orchards by ring-budding in| June
with commercial paper shell pecans is
worthy of highest attention, and this
division of pomology opens a most prof
itable field of industry. The ease and
facility of this work with the resultant
profits is most surprising. Only a tew
years are needed in converting a com
mon pecan tree to a fine paper shell tree,
whose nuts sell readily at 10 to 20 cents
per pound in any market. The millions
of young pecan trees which are just
coming into bearing are easily converted,
and the owners should lose no time in j
this most profitable work. By cutting |
away one-half of the top of a tree in I
February the young shoots can be easily |
budded in June by using the ring-bud.
“Native persimmon orchards can be
converted to Japaneso persimmon orch
ards of great value by the same method.
One acre of forest land improved in this
way gives more profit than ten acres of
land in cotton.”

A Victim of Advice.
“ Just been giving myself credit
for $27 in my personal account,”
announced a fleshy professional
gentleman, who has his office in
Griswold street, according to the
Detroit Free Press. “ Sold my
bicycle. It cost me a hundred
last season.”
“ Sold your bicycle ? ” asked a
friend, in surprise. “ Why I
thought you were one of the most
enthusiastic wheelmen in the city.”
So I was. Came mighty near
being a crank. Took long trips
and thought more of that wheel
than I ever did of any other thing
that couldn’t talk. But what
made me tired was the constant
advice given me by neighbors and
friends. One would tell me to
ride before breakfast, and I did so.
Another would come along and
tell me to eat a good, hearty meal
when I first got up, rest for half
an hour, and then take a spin. I
would try that for awhile. A
third told me not to ride in the
morning at all, but wait till even
ing, when I was tired or worried,
and needed something to divert
my thoughts. I adopted that plan.
At last I went to my doctor for
advice in the premises, and he
laughed at me for ten minutes
without saj-ing a word. I’m just
waiting for him to send in his bill.
The whole thing made me sick
and disgusted, so I sold out, and
will take my exercise some other
way.”
“ Oh, you’ll get the fever again
and buy a new wheel.”
“Not me. I’ve provided against
that by promising my wife that
the next investment I make in
that line will be a tandem, and I’d
just about as leave ride through
the town on a rail as on a tandem.
You may put it down that I’ve
quit for good and all.”
