order to secure the best possible market for
producers. He stated that a thoroughly
reliable agent would be secured in every
city, whose duty it would be to keep the
exchange posted by telegraph as to the con
dition of the market, and he would then be
able to distribute the crop in such a way
chat a glut would be avoided and good
prices would be obtained. After the matter
had been thoroughly considered the follow
ing resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That we melon growers will ship
our melons through the Georgia Fruit and
Vegetable Exchange and advise and encourage
all of our neighbors to ship through the same
FREIGHT RATES.

Lewis have in all over 100 acres in melons.
Dr. Johnston can ship a car between June
5 and 10, he having at present over 1,000
as large as a man’s head. The soil around
Cairo seems well adapted to melon growing.

‘Home Startled by a False Report of the
Loss of Seventeen Lives.
Rome, Ga., May 23. —A wreck occurred
on the East Tennessee, Virginiaand Georgia
railroad at Hermitage, twelve miles north
of Rome, this morning. It was reported
that seventeen people were killed and many
•wounded. An investigation showed one
person had his spine injured. A passenger
(or tramp) on board the train walked to
the cit3 and started the rumor. It was a
tail-end smash up of freight trains south
bound. The cars were badly wrecked and
one engine was damaged. The passenger
train was delayed several hours.

A BEAUTIFUL PLAINTIFF.
She Limped in Court But Could Dance
Outside.
Atlanta, Ga., May 23.—Hon. W. C.
Bennett of South Carolina, otherwise
known as “Anxious Inquirer,” wjth the
assistance of other counsel gained a verdict
to-day in the case of Miss Elizabeth A.
Whitner vs. the Richmond and Danville
railroad. She sue 1 for $25,000 damages.
A verdict for $4,583 was returned. One
peculiar feature of the case was that the
side in whose favor the verdict was ren
dered will move for a new trial, being dis
satisfied with the amount. It ip said that
yesterday the railroad offered $6,000 to
compromise the case.
A beautiful plaistiff.
Miss Whitner is a very beautiful and
aristocratic young lady who lives at Ander
son, S. C., and is related to several families
of high standing in that state. On Nov.
13, 1888, she was a passenger on one of two
coaches which jumped the track and
tumbled down a steep embankment near
the Tugalo river. Her spine was injured
and she received other injuries,
one of which permanently stiffened her
knee. \\ hen she took the stand she limped.
Yet it appeared that after the accident she
frequently joined in the dance on festive
occasions. This fact seems to have cut
down the amount of the verdict several
thousand dollars. The wreck in which Miss
Whitner was injured has been prolific of
damage suits. Another was filed to-day.
MORTGAGES IN WILCOX.
The Cenaua Enumerator’s Work Shows
Carelessness iu Canceling.
Abbeville, Ga., May 23.—The research
of the mortgage census enumerator, S. W.
Parker, shows than from Jan. 1, 1880, to
Dec. 81, 1889, there were 335 mortgages re
corded in Wilcox county.
During the first four years of this time
seventy-seven were recorded, and of this
number only one has been canceled on the
record.
There is no doubt that a number of them
have been paid and never canceled.
A lot of land in Abbeville, bought a few
months ago for $75 on time, wa3 to-day sold
for $162 50—5150 of it in cash.
One man says ho wrote nineteen deeds for
the conveyance of land in the town in one
day this week. Abbeville seems to be
catching the spirit of enterprise that con
trols Americus and Cordele.
The directors of the Abbeville Investment
and Construction Company held a meetiug
here to-day.
Rains have been frequent in this section
lately.
W. H. Reynolds and G. W. Johnson, the
census enumerators, are both citizens of
Abbeville.
Four Wilcox county men have announced
themselves for the office of sheriff.

A SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC.
Four Churches of Waycross Unite
and Have a Good Time.
Waycross, Ga., May 23.—T0-day has
been a gala day in the history of the Sun
day schools of WaycroMj. The four schools,
Presbyterian, Baptist, Episcopal and Metho
dist, aggregating a membership of 450, gave
their annual picnic to-day. The new
situated on the line of
the Waycross air-line, six miles from
Waycross, was the scene of the frolic.
Hon. L. Johnson, a friend of every good
cause, had beautified the grounds by the
erection of a pavilion forty feet square and
laying out the grounds, the erection of ice
cream and lemonade stands, providing seats
and giving the use of the splendid new
coaches recently bought for the air line.
All who could accepted his hospitality and
spent the day under the pines that
line the banks of the Sat ilia.
Some merchants shut up shop, and
it is estimated that 500 people were
present. To Supt. Hilliard of the Waycross
Lumber Company and Mr. Johnson the
citizens of Waycross are indebted for a day
of great enjoyment. The Sunday school
cause in this section of Georgia is said to be
ahead of that in any other part of the state.
A CONFEDERATE OR A CHEAT.
An Atlanta Prisoner Trying to Work
the Veterans.
Atlanta, Ga., May 23.—The Fulton
county confederate veterans seem to have
narrowly etcapod being taken in. For some
days they have been busily investigating the
case of V. P. Primrose, an alleged maimed
confederate, with the view of furnisaing
bond for his release from jail. Primrrse
soma time ago purchased a watch on the
in bailment plan from an Atlanta jeweler.
He made one payme.it and thens >ld the
watch. The jeweler, learning this, had him
arrested. Primrose claimed that his
arm was carried away at the
battle of Chancellorsville, but, it seems that
he lost it in an ordinary accident iu a hotel.
Primrose still claims to be a veteran and
his insists on giving him the
benefit, under the law, of his transgression.
In the meantime the veterans’ association
appears to be in doubt, hut are very suspi
cious of Primrose’s claims.
PLEDGER A3 A MEMORIALIST.

the Howell Bill.
Atlanta, Ga., May 23.—1 t appears that

committee.
BUICIDE AT PENSACOLA.

Ends in Death.
Pensacola, Fla., May 23.—William
Clark, a white man aged about 30 years,
and captain of a fishing smack belonging to
this port, committed suicide by taking a
dose of paris green at a late hour last night.
Considerable time elapsed before physicians
were summoned, and dospitj their efforts
during the night to relieve him the
deadly poison did its work effectually and
he died at 6 o’clock this morning. He'
made no statement of his reason for taking
the fatal dose, but it is generally believed
by his neighbors that jealousy of bis wife
was the cause of his rasn act. He leaves a
wife and one baby. He came to this city
from New York state several years ago,
and bore the reputation of being a man of
man of good business habits, and was not
addicted to an imemperate use of liquor.

collided yesterday near Scotsville, Albe
marle county. Two engines and about
twenty-five freight cars, cniefly laden with

escaped uninjured by jumping. The acci
dent is alleged to have been due to the blun
der of a telegraph operator.

|TRADE SO LIVELY THAT EVERY
COIN IS JINGLING.
The Volume of Legitimate Business
Greater Than It Has Been at This
Besson in Any Previous Year—The
Cotton Market Still Strong—Products
Naturally Lower.
New York, May 23.—Following is R.
G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade,
issued to-day: “Speculation in some lines
is active. The volume of legitimate busi
ness is greater than it has been at this sea
son in any previous year. Money is com
paratively easy and commercial credits un
disturbed. The volume of business at New
York has been swelled by heavy specula
tion. and at Boston the sales of stock
are three times those of the same week last
year. But the bank clearings at Boston,
Philadelphia, and Chicago are 29 per cent,
larger than a year ago, while the aggregate
at ail other points outside of New York is
25 per cent, above last year.
RAILROAD EARNINGS.
“The railroad earnings for May show an
increase of nearly 15 per cent, in spite of
the cutting of rates.
“Foreign trade is heavy. The exports
from New York in May thus far are 14 per
cent, larger than a year ago, and the im
ports hore are 6 per cent, larger.
“At all reporting points collections are
fair, and there is apparently much con
fidence in the immediate commercial
future.
“Labor strikes are nowhere mentioned as
causing disturbances in trade.
“The great iron industries also look bet
ter. At Pittsburg there is a decided im
provement, pig iron being higher and
Bessemer fully $1 per ton, with manu
factured iron stronger. At Philadelphia
prices have slightly improved, and here the
offerings of southern iron are fewer.
the cotton market.
“The cotton market is supported by the
strong tone of the goods trade.
“Nothing favorable can be reported of
the woolen trade except that makers are
still buying with the hope that a change of
the tariff may lesson foreign competition.
“Wheat has bean stronger, rising 2 cents,
with sales of 33,000,000 bushels here, and
exports continue fair.
“Corn has declined nearly a cent, and oats
have risen as much.
“Pork products are all a shade lower.
“Coffee is unchanged.
“Oil has risen over 5 cents.
“Cotton has risen 7-16, gelling at 12% for
middling uplands, the recorded sales for the
week reaching 575,000 bales. _r_'
“In general the prices of products are
lower than a week ago and will naturally
decline as the new crops approach.
TREASURY OPERATIONS.
“The treasury has taken in $2,850,000
more than it has paid out for the week,
but money is unchanged and foreign ex
change has declined from $4 S6 to $4 85.
“Cheap money abroad helps the buying of
American securities, which still continues,
and seems for the present to afford a strong
monetary reinforcement.
“The business failures of the week hum
ber f r the United States 190, and for Can
ada 32, a total of 222, against 212 last
week.”
GLASS WORKS TO BE IDLE.
The Western Window Glass Manufac*
turers Form a Combine.
Pittsbubg, Pa., May23.—The Western
Window Glass Manufacturers’ Association
met here yesterday, and decided to shut
down all the factories in the country for
the summer on or before June 14. A com
bine was also made with the jobbers by
which the price of glass is to be
made uniform hereafter in all cities.
The jobbers and manufacturers agreed
to neither buy nor sell to any but members
of their respective associations. This
action, it is claimed, will result in the
removal of unequal corai>etition and gen
eral steadiness of the trade. The snut
down movement was in accordance with a
resolution adopted at the recent meeting in
Chicago.
AN OWSOO BANK CLOSED.
The Cashier Bald to Have Been in Dee's
Eig Scheme.
Binghamton, N. Y., May 23.—The
Owego National Bank of Owego, N. Y.,
suspended business to-day. It is not ex
actly clear what caused it. The deposits
are said to ha only $52,000. The cashier of
the bank is C. A. Thompson, who ischarged
bv C. H. Platt, president of the nnblic
grain and stock exchange of New York,
with acting in concert with James
F. Dee to defraud the exchange of
$30,000. Dee was the correspondent
of the exchange at Owego. There is an
impression that the suspension and alleged
conspiracy are in some way connected.
Cashier Thompson is out of town, presum
ably at Newport News, Va., where his wife
has been staving for several months.
TWO STRIKES AT AN END.
The Men in Both Instances Compro
mise With the Employers.
Pitts'burg, May 23,— The big strike at the

wages, but the company has ordered a sat
isfactory compromise. Several thousand
men were involved in the strike, as the na
tional lolling mill was also shut down.
A special from Scott Haven states that
the miners at Hon. W. L. Scott’s works
wore notified yesterday that the firm would
pay them 1 cent less than the Columbus
scale. Scott’s miners and the grea or por
tion of the Youghiogheny river mines have
been on a striko for the Columbus scale.

SCROFULA
Is that impurity of the blood which produces
unsightly lumps or swellings in the neck;
wliich causes running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which develops ulcers In the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; wliich is the origin of pimples, can
cerous growths, or “humors;” which,fasten
ing u|Jon the lungs, causes consumption and
death. It is the most ancient of all diseases,
and very few persons are entirely free from it.
“CURED
By taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,
has proven itself to he a potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. If you suffer from
scrofula, try Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
“ Every spring my wifo and children have
been troubled with scrofula, my little boy,
three years old, being a terrible sufferer.
Last spring he was one mass of sores from
head to feet. We all took Hood's Sarsaparilla,
and all have been cured of the scrofula. My
little boy is entirely tree from sores, and all
four of my children look bright and healthy.”
