THE GROWING FRUIT.
Condition of the Crop In the Fruit
Growing Section.
The fruit crop after all doe* not appear to
b, so seriously damaged. The middle and
southern sections of Georgia *eem to have
suffered most, and In these sections a* much
as a half crop is expected.
The northern, eastern and western sec
tions, strange to say. were less damaged by
the severe freezes than were the other sec
tions. Some of the growers attribute this
to the fact that less of the fruit in the last
named sections were putting forth buds. The
Morning News sent out a short time ago
inquiries to the prominent fruit grow era in
the different sections of the state, and the
answers show that the western districts are
not damaged much, the southern districts
■W oer cent of a crop will be made, the
middle districts one quarter will bi made,
the northern districts are fair, eastern dis
trict is not damaged much. The following
are some of the replies received from the
growers:
b \lr Brewer of Scriven county writes:
“Peach trees are just beginning to bloom,
it seems that the recent snaps of cold
weather affected them very little. In some
sections no damage appears. Although the
weather prior to the cold snans was warm
enough to have caused fruit buds to open,
it is a singular fact that in this locality very
few opened. They remained as if they
were in a dormant state, being affected by
neither the cold nor the warm weather.
The tirst crop in this section will be very
fair. The growers are not at all de
spondent.”
Hon. R. C. Mclntosh of Brooks county
avs: "The outlook for a fruit crop in this
locality is gloomy. The freeze about March
lri destroyed almost everything in the fruit
line. I think the cron is cut off at least 50
per cent.”
A prominent grower from Thomas county
writes; “Considerable interest has be;n felt
in this section as to the crop of LeConte
end Keifer pears. The fruit trees had not,
owing to the dry season, advanced very
much in this county aud hence the severe
frosts damaged this crop to a limited extent.
The early blossoms were killed, but the trees
were not damaged and the trees have again
on a fair amount of blooms, and probably
half an average will be made. This, con
sidering the heavy yield last year, will be
doing very well after all; and, in fact, a
half crop is about all we can manage here,
as it is an immense undertaking. Seventy*
five thousand crates of LeConte pears were
shipped from Thomas county last year, and
not more than two-thirds of the crop was
harvested. The other fruiU are damaged
more or le3s, but count on a pretty fair
crop—enough, at least, for home consump
tion. The blackberry crop will be a
failure.”
Hon. D. P. Holt of Sumter county writes
tiiat the crop is very backward. “The
majority of the trees are just commencing
to bloom and a3 far as I am able to judge,
1 >each and apple crops are cut off 50 per
cent. Small fruits are cut off more. The
damage by the freeze was March L”
R. N. Booth of Morgan county says: “It
is the strangest year I ever saw. My poach
trees are still blooming, while the same
trees have good-sizod peaches upon them.
1 have never seen the occurrence before.
Usually the trees bloom out at once, but
this year they are blooming at intervals,
the same trees blooming more than once.
We are going to have enough fruit for eat
ing purposes, provided no more cold weather
comes.”
A grower from Wilkinson CDunty writes
that the March freeze damaged the peach
crop some, but the crop will not be a great
deal shorter than last year’s crop, t rees
are putting forth now aud the outlook is
favorable for a lair crop.
President C. G. Gray of the Georgia Fruit
Union of Fort Valley, Ga., gives the follow
ing reply: “Reports from a number of our
Closest observers and largest fruit growers
indicate at present, half a crop of peaches,
and estimate other fruits from 10 per cent,
to 50 per cent, of an average crop. Opinions
vary as to the causes of the damage, viz:
the freeze March 1, the cold spell a week
later, warm winter, heavy crops borne by
trees last year, etc.”
J. H. M. Cliett, one of the largest grow
ers of all kinds of fruit in Houston county,
writes as follows: “We are looking for
about one-quarter of a peach, one-tenth of
a LeConte pear crop and one-tenth wild
goose plum crop. This is an off year for
apples, and no crop of account is looked for.
Grapes and strawberries are fine and a full
crop is expected from young 3-year-old
trees that bore no fruit last year. Old
trees, however, are almost a failure. The
buds on the old trees were killed in Decem
ber. My opiuioa is that tna bearing last
year is the cause of the trees not fruiting
this year. I think the average will be about
In this proportion: Where weshipped four
carloads tf peaches last year we will ship
but about one this year.”
W. E. H. Searcy, the largest fruit grower
in Spalding county, writes that the fruit
crop is not very promising in that county.
“The peaches,” he says, “overbore last year,
and did not recover sufficiently to set fruit
buds in season. I don’t think that the cold
injured the fruit. The young trees will
bear, but the small number of these avails
us little from this source. Yon may say,
with this exception,the peach crop is almost
a failure. The peach trees appear to be
greatly injured,any many are dead. We will
have over half a crop of graphs, apples and
all varieties of pears, except Keifer and Le-
Conte will bear very well.”
Col. H. Bussey of Muscogee county says:
“I find the report from the fruit crop of
peaches rather conflicting, but the fruit is
greatly injured. The poach trees are bloom
ing very sparingly, some tress have a good
many, others few and none at all on others.
Fear is ontertained of the blooms dropping
off later and make a total failure. Very
few apples in this section. I should say
that 30 per cent, of a full crop of peaches
will baas much as we can ex* set in this
section.”
J. R. Respess, Jr., of Taylor county,
writes: “It is the opinion of those skilled in
fruit here, that the heavy crop of last season
exhausted the trees to a considerable extent,
and that that, together with the injury
from the cold and dry weather, has cut the
crop off fully 60 per cent. The cold that
did the damage was the sudden and severe
cold snap of last December succeeding a
protracted warm spell. It seems to have par
tially paralyzed the trees, so that even now
it is a hard effort for them to put forth
feeble blossoms, that may even, under fa
vorable circumstances, produce but very
imperfect fruit. Nothing, however, as yet
can be positively stated.”
Reports from Millen, Tennille, and points
along the line of the Central railroad be
tween Savannah and Macon show that the
prospects for a fair crop of peaches are fa
vorable.

James lgoe, will rendezvous at Tybee with
the Charleston fleet, but will not partici
pate in the race.
Southport, N. C„ enters two pilot boats,
the LW. Harper and the Addie, They are
said to be fast sailers, and expect to make
it interesting for tae Neca, Pride, Frances
Elizabeth and Sprite. The I.
W. Harper was built at
Beaufort, N, C., is 103 feet over all, and is
said to be one of the finest vessels of her
kind in southern waters. The Addie, is a
smaller boat than the Harper, but his the
reputation of being an ocean greyhound.
Brunswick enters two vessels, the Gracie,
Capt. Duncan Wright, and the Telegram.
The owners of the Gracie have long desired
to pit her against the Savannah fliet. A
delegation of Brunswicldans will come with
the fleet prepared to shout when the Gracie
crosses tne line a winner, as they say she
will.
Tuus far no vessels have entered from
Port Royal or Doboy, but it is expected that
the latter port will furnish at least one and
possibly two pilot boats.
_The prizes amount in the aggregate to
$“00, divided as follows: First prize, $400;
sec >nd prize, $300; third prize. SIOO.
The regatta committee is composed of
veteran yachtsmen, Commodores T. L. Kin
sey, R. M. Demere, F. S. Lathrop aad
Messrs. 1L A. Palmer, A. IS. Bac.iu, !S. I’.
Goodwin and Julia i Schley.
The course to be sailed is from the inner
bell buoy at Tybee, outer sea buoy, thence
to sea buoy <"ff Warsaw. Going out, all
buoys are to be left to starboard except the
north breaker, which will be left to port,
and returning all buoys will be left to pert
but tne north breaker, which will be left to
starboard.
It is expected that the boats will sail at 11
o’clock a. m. The race will be governed by
the sailing committee’s rules to be hereafter
promulgated, and no appeal will be enter
tained from the final decision of the judges.
The sailing committee will name the start
ing point
Boats must enter twenty-four houre be
fore the time set for starting in the race.
The time allowance will be fifty seconds
per foot, and ba-ed upon the length of hull,
which will be de erminod by adding actual
length in water line to actual length overall,
and by dividing the total by two.
Only fore and aft sails will be allowed.
Boats must take their stations within
half an hour after beiug ordered so to do,
and an hour before the race some repre
sentative of each boat must report to
the sailing committee for instructions.
One whistle will be blown to get ready,
ten minutes later two whistles to start, and
twenty minutes will be allowed after the
starting whistle for boats to cross ths line.
Each boat must go fairly over the course,
and not touch any buoy b >a; or vessel u-ed
to mark it out, or foul any vessel in ’ the
race.
Boats on the port tack shall invariably
give way to those on the starboard.
Boats going free shall invariably give
way to those on the wind.
A boat may luff as she pleases to prevent
another yacht passing to windward, but
must not bear away iu order to hinder her
passing to leeward. The overtaking vessel,
if to the leeward, must not luff until she
has drawn clear ahead of the boat she has
overtaken. The lee side to be considered
that on which the leading boat carries her
boom.
The race must be finished in seven
hours, or it will not count as a race.
THE UNITED STATES COURTS.
A Recess Taken Which 13 Equivalent
to an Adjournment.
A recess was taken the United States cir
cuit aud district courts yesterday after
noon, which is virtually an adjournment
for the term, and Judge Sprer left last
night for Macon. District Attorney Marion
Erwin and Marshal W. P. Corbett will go
to Macon this morning. Judge Pardee left
yesterday morning, hut, it is said, will re
turn the latter part of May, and sit with
Justice L. Q. C. Lamar for the considera
tion of civil cases, the principal case to £>e
heard being that of Cunnlugnam vs. Ahe
Macon and Brunswick road.
In the case of H. H. King vs. the United
States, Judge Speer gave judgment for the
plaintiff in the sura of $537, the amount of
fees disallowed by the first auditor, and

An order was granted appointing Irwin
Alexander of Augusta deputy clerk of the
United States circuit and district courts at
Augusta.

Robert R. and Benjamin C. Sellers of
McDuffie were convicted of illicit distilling,

STOVES.
Scene—First Dinner to the Family Physican by Young Married Couple.
Familt Physician—Do yon know, thorc seems to boa natural flavor about this food
that Is most appetizing? What method do you use in cooking it? ;;
Lady of thk Hot'Sß—Well, Doctor, when I was at home, my mother would have no :
other than a Charter Oak Store. From my earliest recollection I remembered how
she would praise It, aud her cooking was superb. So when we were married J insisted on :
having the sume kind of stove. Of course the improvements made on them since mother
bought hers, are most wonderful. Ours lias all the latest, including the Wire liause,
Orrn Ihtttrn. I don’t understand the process exactly, but they tell me that all meats ;
cooked in ovens with these doors, retain tlieir juices and flavors to a much greater degree
tiiun by any other means. Can you explaiu the theory, ( harles?
Charles (the Husband)—l can’t remember all that was told me, but I know the
Doctor can give a most clear and scientific statement of the reasons, can you not Doctor?
DoCToH-Well.it is hardly professional to ask such information from a doctor; in fact,
I am ini lined to think he would not lie helping his practice much by saying nnvthiugin favor
of the Charter Oak Stoves. Hut as 1 have one in my kite hen, and know somethingabout it,
I think I cau enlighten vou. Of course it would take quite a long lecture to explain every
thing to you scientifically, and wo have not time for that. Count Kumford, an American,
who was Knighted in Europe for his scicntille attainments, pointed out. nearly a hundred
years ago, lliul baking and roasling meals in air tight ovens was wrong, and he "proved it by
actual experiments. He nsaertuil that it was as esscntiul to health that our food should be
cooked iu pure, fresh air as that we should breathe pure, fresh air, and that air-tight ovens
render the air impure, and the food cooked therein became tainted amt unhealthy, llut how
to properly ventilate the oven was not discovered for many years after Count Humford'a
time. The difficulty was to allow fresh air to enter the oven uniformly without cooling it per
ceptibly, and this has been accomplished by Mr. Filley’s invention of the Wire Gauze Oven
1 >oor. The air enters tbo oven through the wire gauze In tho form of very fine jets, and as
there is a large surface of gauze the air is diffuson and heated without form ingsir currents
to cool the oven. Cooking might he called a chemical decomposition with the aid of heat,
hut oxvgen is as necessary as the heat; this is furnished by the, air. Again, the meat roasted
in a tight oven loses a largo part of its most nutritious juices, which become dried out. Ven
tilating the oven prevents this waste, and the nieut is cooked perfectly in the same way as
broiling over a charcoal lire or roasting in the old fashioned spit of our grandfather’s time.
Fresh air. or tho oxvgen furnished bv tho air. also improves the baking of bread, making it
much lighter and more easily digested. Bread baked in a ( barter Oaks tovc with Wire Gauze
Oven I mors will never mould, and that is very strong proof that the bread is pure and healthy.
Charles—Thank you, doctor. 1 think wc understand the reason much better now.
