Swainsboro Pine Forest: Col. J. Alex

much improved on his return.

The Miami Sunny Land says that ail
admit now that the Miami sect'on, as a
whole, will receive more money from its
vegetables than if there had been no frost.
The prices being received for everything
in this Jine are simply startling. Those
who held out through- the blue days of
the frost, blast, rust and dry- weather are
now sureiy receiving their reward, while
those who gave up are corresponding!v
disgruntled.
The Jacksonville municipal political pot
is boiling, but, it is said, general good feel
ing prevails. The effort of a few poli
ticians to have the matter of conducting
the city election placed in the hands of the
county Democratic committee is meeting
with the disapproval of the people, inas
much as such a proceeding has not a
precedent. The effort being made to se
cure a convention is not popular. The
general trend of opinion is towards the
primary Han, with such arrangements as
to make it fqJFfo dll the candidates.
Halifax Journal: Capt. H. Van Dorn,
who has been in charge of Mr. Washing
ton Van Hamm's yacht Sunshine for the
past two years, received a letter a few
days since from his brother, Mr. C. M.
Van Hamna, written under date of April
13, which states that Mr. VanHamm died
from congestion of the lungs in New York,
April 8, after a very brief illness, and
that the body was taken to Cincinnati for
interment. By Mr. Van Hamm’s will, his
brother becomes owner of the yacht,
which will be taken North for sale, un
less disposed of here, arid Capt. Van Dorn
will probably be called upon to make the
voyage tn charge.
Madison correspondence of the Morning
News: The whole town turned out on Con
federate Memorial day in memory of the
Confederate dead, who over thirty years
ago were buried here. A procession of old
gray haired veterans, a hundred or more
flower girls, men and women, on foot and
in carriages, led by the Madison band in
full uniform, marched to the place that
marked the resting place of the
heroes, who died for the Tost cause. Every
where were hung beautiful wreaths, one
in memory of Winnie Davis, the Daughter
of the Confederacy, and one in honor of
Mrs. Elizabeth Harris, hospital matron in
the Western army, and for whom the U.
D. C. chapter here was named.
Jacksonville Metropolis: The removal
of the capital to Jacksonville is meeting
with much favor, and is a favorite topic
of conversation. At the Windsor last
night, Chester IWaldock, a commercial
tourist, said: "The capital at. this city
means a great,deal to the city, and will
add much interest to Jacksonville. I was
in Tallahassee tydsterdfty and the citizens
there are considerably worked up over the
matter. The Capitol building in Florida
is the worst in the union, and if they don't
remove it they should surely rebuild. I
talked with a large number of the repre
sentatives, and the impression prevails
that the effort toward removal will pass
both houses. Tallahassee has some very
clever people In it. and on their account
I would hate to see the thing changed,
but there is no question but what it would
be a great thing for Jacksonville.”
Cicala Star: It 4-s'Aery evident that
Jacksonville has capitai on the brain, and
if gray matter and rpetalic matter are
of any avail with the legislature of Flor
ida in removing prejudice from the minds
of some, we expect to vote in the state
election of 1900 on the removal of the capi
tal from Tallahassee to the metropolis of
the state—Jacksonville. In the language
of Dr. L’Engle, "It will take money," so
the enterprising, do-something Board of
Trade of Jacksonville met and resolved
that $50,000 be offered as a bid for the said
removal. Of course, the Star favors
Ocala, the Brick City, for the state capi
tal, but we know that when It comes to
siding up to Jacksonville in material to
back our elairii, "we ain't in it,” so if
there is to be a removal, and we believe
the time is about ripe for it, let it be lo
Jacksonville, and when it comes io a re
moval and a state capitol building, let it
be worthy of the state of Florida.

“A pipe is good enough for me, my dear.

"But. George, dear, they didn’t cost

“It was very thoughtful oi you to buy

New York, April 28.—Af'br an irregular
start, the cotton market developed bullish
inclinations this morning and showed a
very steady undertone during the rest of
the session. Asa natural result of disap
pointing cables, est'mates for an excep
tionally large movement at Southern ports
and distinctly bearish news regarding crop
progress, the market opened barely steady
in tone, with prices unchanged to 2 points
lower. The few selling orders which ap
peared on the call were followed by quite
an avalanche of buying orders, the bulk
of the latter coming from summer month
shorts, who had taken fright at rumors of
an amicable settlement of the Philippine
troubles, reports that the government crop
statement for May would prove less favor
able as regards the acreage question than
heretofore expected, and evidences (hat th
Liverpool bear element were apprehensive
of manipulation on this side. August ad
vancer! to 5.94 c with a rush, with the rest
of the near at hand deliverles'close fol
lowers. The fnr mnihe manifested rela
tively less strength, owing to scattered
selling orders from the South and som--
pressure from local traders. I ..-ft'
in the forenoon there was a partial reac
tion under good weather forecasts, but
subsequent developments Indicated a gen
erally healthy undertone and a more opti
mistic turn of sentiment. The close was
steady, with prices 3 points higher to 2
points net lower.

New York, April 28.—The total bank

cent., increase, 65.7; exclusive of New
York, *618,453,918; per cent., increase, 31.4.
New York. April 28.—Irregularity pervad
ed to-day’s dealings on the Stock Exchange
and the temper of the market was ex
tremely professional,( resulting In Irregu
lar net changes with losses predominating.
I/ondon traded both ways and commis
sion house bualness was on a heavily re
stricted scale. Traders were disposed to
let slocks go in anticipation of an unfa
vorable hank statement to-morrow and
one of the large operators changed tactics
and took the bear side. Forecasts of the
bank statement are usually unreliable, but
bank reports for the week seemed to In
dicate a loss In cash on all accounts of
nearly *3,500,000.
Anaconda Mining fluctuated widely, end
ing with a net gain of nearly 3 points or*
the announcement of the large copper com.
blnation. Silver certificates sold at 65 at
one time, the highest prlre recorded tn
a long time. The passage of the franchise
tax bill by the legislature was responsible
for weakness In most of the local stocks,
there being declines of 5 points In Brook
lyn Union Gas, 3*4 tn Metropolitan, nearly
as much In Consolidated Gag and a sharp
break In Manhattan, although It left oft
only 164*' down. Third Avenue on the con
trary rose 3 points.
Another reason for weakness In Man
hattan was the adverse report of the
Board of Health on Its Ninth avenue
structure. The announcement of a set
tlement of a litigation, held Brooklyn
Transit up In spite of the weakness In
smaller shares generally and the stock
gained, over a point.
Excepting Colorado Fuel and Iron, Im
provement was noted In the Iron and steel
properties. Other strong spots were Jer
sey Central. lowa Central and Northern
Pacific. The general railway list was In
clined to droop on moderate dealings. Tha
market closed heavy.
To-day’s bond market lacked a decisive
1 tone, but the undertone of the market
was healthful and some Issues were In
keen demand. Business expands from day
to day, to-day’s transactions reaching*
*4.375,000.
United States new 4s registered and the
old 4s registered declined *4, and the 3
coupon 14 In the bid price.
