A few nice peaches are being f*hipped from Mugs and other points on the Al bany division of the Plant System. The yield is very sma.i, but the fruit is large end of a very line qu.iiity. Those shipped bo far have brought very fancy pric s. Hon. T. M. Meriwether, one of the mosi I>romlnent and highly respected citizens o. Wilkes county, i* i ut Washington Mon day night after a ling* ring illness of s<'V eral months. He was born in 1821, and for a number of year- was a resident of New ton county, where his remain* were scut for interment. A name has been adopted for the North Augusta post office. The postoitt* minor ities would not allow the prefix north nor the name Augusta lor the posiofloe to be established. The r,.*nie l. lv hue has been a<k>pied and sent in. and unless the au thorities have already such an oliice in the elate it will be used. At a meeting of the directors of the Ex change Hank of ALu ns, held Monday, a successor lo former ra.-li < r John A. Men* diet in the person of Mr. \V. B. Dozier, row of Albany, but formerly of Cordele ond Athens, was ch-sen. He is a son of Dr. Dozier of Athens. He wi i begin his new work on Aug. 1. At a recent meeting held by the citizens of Dawson a committee was appointed to inquire into and recommend stops looking to the following * nds: Fust, to make Daw ton a better uotton market ; second, to se cure the extension of the Georgia Pine Railway to Dawson; third, to build a cot ton factory in Dawson. The Pulaski Volunteers were inspected !n the r armory at Havvkinsvi.le Monday evening, and passed a tine examination. The company has an enrollment of forty eight men ond officers, and is in fine shape for anew company. As vet they have been furnished by the state with nothing but guns, belts and bayonets. Albany Herald: Mr. J. F. Mercer, pro prietor of Mercer’s mill, smated twelve miles east of Albany, has shown a com mendable spirit of enterprise by a<kiing to his large p.ant a complete outfit for the production of the be-t grade of wheat flour. It has now been in operation for several days, and gives entire satisfac tion. Augusta Herald: The suggestion has been made that a memorial volume of the works of Montgomery Folsom be is sued in book form and sold for the bene fit of the lamented journalist’s family, which has been left in destitute circum stances. The suggestion has been well re ceived throughout the state. There is a general sentiment that some of the me morials intended to perpetuate the name of Folsom should take a more substan tial form than mere rhetorical eulogies which have been coming from every quar ter. Tuesday afternoon, at the residence of the bride’s uncle, Mr. \V. C. Cook, at Blakely, Miss Carrie Grist and Mr. Em met Shaw were united in the holy bonds of marriage. Rev. Larkin Crumbley perform ing the ceremony. Only the relatives and a few intimate friends of the contracting Parties were present. The bridal party 1* ft immediately for Fort Gaines, where they expect to reside. The groom is one of Fort Gaines’ most promising young business men, and belongs to one of the best fami lies of the state, while <he bride Is on* of Blakely's most refined and cultured young ladies. and is the jjappy possessor of those charms which combine in making a beautiful woman. Milledgeville Cnion-Recorder: Milledge ville has been on a steady growth the en tire year. Many new and handsome resi dences have l>een and are being built. The day laborer has been given constant em ployment In and around nhe city. But there is no getting around the fact that to enjoy permanent prosperity we have got to build small industries. A cotton factory is what we need. This means that the populattyn would be larg-ly increased; more money would be expended here; the taxable property increased; our city would become a better cotton market; the vol ume of trade would be increased; the es tablishment of other industries would fol low. Smaller ttowns in Georgia are build ing factories. Can we afford to lag in this matter? Will not our citizens come to the aid of our city? A party of Fort Valley citizens, Messrs. W. H. Harris, J. B. James, W. S. Tatum end luis L. Brown, has gone to Spring Vale, Me., to make an effort to get one of the leading cotton mills .n that section to locate in Fort Valley. These gentle men were appointed by the citizens of Fort \ alley as a committee to represent the city, and they will make every effort to go* the mill to come South. The mill, which is located at Spring Vale, is one of the largest in Maine, operating 15.000 spin dles. These gentlemen have been In cor respondence with the owners of the mill for some time, and it is understood that the proprietors are anxious to come South. Fort Valley has been anxious for a cot ton mill for a long time, and the city of fers every inducement to the Northern manufacturers ro come down. President P. J. Berckmans, of the Geor gia State Horticultural Society, has for mally announced the twenty-third annual session of the society on Aug. 2 and 3, at the Cliff House, Tallulah Falls, when also there will occur the annual exhibi tion of fruits, plants and vegetables. It is earnestly hoped that there will be .i full attendance of members from every feection of the state, that concentrated Information and experience of fruit grow ers may be obtained, thus aiding the so ciety to perfect the several catalogues of fruits and vegetables adapted to each geo graphical division of the state. These cat alogues are now the recognized reliable guides for fruit growers of Georgia, and Lave had a most wonderful influence in developing its fruit growing Interests. The society was organized in 187 G by a few public spirited citizens, who have faith fully labored since to promote the fruit growing industry of Georgia and aid in the higher education oY its people. FLORIDA. Gen. Robert Bulloch was violently as saulted by an unknown party at his homo in Ocalu Tuesday evening. He thinks he has a clew to the identity of the party, and there may be a prosecution. Two marines from the Pensacola navy yard, Flannery and Coultry, went out in a small skiff Tuesday afternoon to visit the men on th* gunboat Machias. A high sea was running and the boat was swamp ed. Flannery was drowned, but Coultry was saved. Flannery was only 18 years o.d. His home was in Escambia county at Cottage Hill. Deputy Harbor Master David Sheehan of Pensacola received his commission Wednesday morning as harbor master of that port, to succeed Hon; John Holland, deceased. As i majority of the members of the Escambia Demo cauc executive committee had recom mended hie appointment, Gov. Bioxham t id not deem it necessary to aw.

The guava crop around Miami, and in Southern Florida generally, promises to Ik* the largest this Reason for several years. There are many new bushes coming into bearing this year lor the first time. The price of this fruit has been steadily ad vancing for the fast three years. Guava jelly manufacturers arc offering the glow ers sl.lO i*er bushel, delivered at th* sta t'on. There is no ifrult grown that will give the growers as .many dollars |er acre is the guava at this price. The re-uli of the continued increase in price of this fruit lias been the planting of more trees each ye ir. The State Board of Health has been in session in Tampa and inspecting that sec tion of the state for several days. The federal government has ordered the ma rine hospital service from Kgmont key entirely, and this goes to Mullet key, where the state quarantine station is lo cated. The government allows the state to remain on Mullet key with .is fumi gating plant, station and necessary ap purtenances. The board was informed that, commencing at onoe, Ihe federal au thorities would require all ves sels bound for points from Cuba to stop at Dry Tor logas. The trade towand t*he east coast is protesting against this order, as it will cause them a great deal of trouble to go out of their way to reach the station at Tortugas. Rev. 8. J. Patterson, the colored minis ter of Tampa, accused of arson, received a complete vindication Tuesday in his pre liminary hearing before Justice Whitaker. When the court’s decision freeing the pris oner was announced, about 100 negroes who filled the court room made a demon stration of unqualified delight. They over whelmed the judge. Attorneys Macfarlane and Raney, and Patterson himself, with congratulations, and it would have requir ed but a slight hint to have persuaded them to carry the vindicated m aster through the streets on their shoulders. Patterson seems to be the idol of his con gregation, and the council chamber,wh-re the hearing occurred, wa.- packed dining the entire progress of the case with the “brethren and sisters’* of the accused man’s church. Col. W. J. Davis died at his home in St. Petersburg Tuesday. The immediate cause of death was paralysis of the heart. Col. Davis had been in bad health for some time, but his mbst intimate friends did not anticipate that the end was eo near at hand. The deceased leaves a wife arid a niece, Mrs. R. P. Stewart of Tam pa. He was one of the wealthiest citizens of South Florida, leaving an estate valued at $300,000. He was the vice president of the Citizens’ Bank and Trust Company, and owner of the Davis block, on Franklin street, and of other valuable city and suburban property. Col. Davis had in tended and made all arrangements to leave Monday morning for Indiana to visit his aged mother. Instead, a few hours after he contemplated starting on this fondly anticipated Journey, he bad embarked on that ultimate journey which leads to a land undiscovered. GEORGIA SAW MILL MEN.

STORY OY - ms SI KrK*M!*i AS >\hit- TE> TO HIS WIFE. Ills Feelings mid Emotion. Appear in His Own \Vor,l—Kola S, They I niinol lie (lie Fetters of it Huiltj Alan—Say* They Have Attained the Sublime iu Sorrow—He Was Still Sanguine the Huy Before 111* Trial. New York, July 11.—Emile Zoia may be somewhat prejudiced when it comes to criticising the let ters of Alfred Dreyfus, but it is certain th;tt the 1< tiers in many resitects bear witness to the truth of his statement. Tilts is how Zola descrils and them: "They are admirable. I do not know of any pages of a higher conception or more elo quent. They have attained the sublime In sorrow, and afterwards will enlure like an imisrishable monument when our own writings, |ierhaps, shall have passed into oblivion. For they are the sob itself of all human suffering. The man who wrote lii'-si: letters cannot be guilty. Head them, it I them some evening, with your fam ily gathered around your hearthstone. Y'ou will !>e dissolved in tears.” The Dreyfus affair hliherto has been like a novel without a hero—that is, the hero disappeared in the opening chapter, and It has taken ever since to develop the plot arid work: up a climax which is almost without parallel for its dramatic quality. Ent< r the hero, mete.oui Justice to the villain, and the world is satisfied. These little plays with Destiny, Ihe great est ond most arlistic stage manager the world has ever seen, never fail of their effect, and there is more Joy in the world over the happy ending to this great his tone play, the Dreyfus affair, than could he. derived from Ihe best novel or short story in the world, because the degrada tion of tills innoee.it man was a thing which tame home with startling power to all [.copies. The hero of the tragic story v\.is lost sight of after in the lirst chapter. It was known where he was, and (hat was almost all. The scene of the story as told hitherto by the newspapers was laid almost altogether in France. Of the sc.-ues laid in rile du Diable, and of the feelings which ruled in the heart of a man, loin from his family and his hon or. the newspapers have not been in a po sition to speak. It had been left entirely to our imagination to piece out that part of tiie story until the publication of Capt. Dreyfus' loiters to his wife closed the gap and completed the sad history of l’af faire Dreyfus. In Dreyfus’ Own Words. The translation of these letters, which Harper A: Bros. art* about lo publish under the title of "The la-iters of Dreyfus to I is Wife," gives us for the first time the story in the prisoner's own words; and it is a story that for pathos, tragedy, de spair and true Spartan heroism is unsur passed in the annals of either history or Action, rite arrest, which took place on iite loih of October, laid, came upon Drey fus like a laolt out of a clear sky. For almost two momhs the liberiy of writing even to his wife was forbidden, but on Dec. 5 the longed-for permission was ob f■'Fried, and thereafter letters passed be tween husband and wife daily, and some limes almost hourly, until he was removed to Devil's Island. The letters published in this volume cover the period from Dec 6, 1891, to March 6, 1898. It goes without saying that the entire correspondence should lie read to appreci ate their paihos and the hopeless tragedy of ihe writer's lot. The extracts which this article contains wall give some con ception of their general character. They also give for the lirst time an intimate insight Into the heroic soul of their au thor. It will be, perhaps, best to begin with the second letter of the series, dated Dec, 5, 1894, when Dreyfus as yet had hardly realized the danger lliat menaced him. The Prisoner's Feeling;*. "1 am waiting with impatience for a let ter from you. You are my hope; you are my consolation; were it not for you Me would be. a burden. At the bare thought that they couM accuse me of a crime so frightful, so monstrous, my whole being trembles; my body revolts against it. To have worked all my life for one thing alone, lo avenge my country, to struggle for her against the Infamous ravtsher who lias snatched from us our dear Alsace, and t,lien to be accused of (reason against lliat country—no, my loved one, my mind refuses to comprehend it! Do you remem ber my telling you how, when 1 was in Mulhouse, tm years ago, iu September, I heard a German band under our windows celebrating ihe anniversary of Sedan? My grief was such that 1 wept; I bit ilia sheets of my bed with rage, and I swore an oath to consecrate all my strength, all my intelligence, to the service of my country against those who thus offered insult to the grief of Alsace. "No, no. I will not speak of it, for I shall go mad, and I must preserve all my reason. Moreover my life has henceforth but one aim; to llnd the wretch who has betrayed his country; to find the traitor for whom no punishment could be too se vere. oil, dear France, ihou that I love with all my soul, with all my heart! thou to whom I have consecrated all my strength, all my intelligence, how eouid one'accuse me of a crime so horrible! I will not write upon this subject, my darl ing; for spasms take me by the throat. No man has ever borne the martyrdom that 1 endure. No physical suffering can be compared to the mental agony that I tcel when my thoughls turn to this accu sation. If 1 had noi my honor to defend, 1 assure you that I should prefer death; at iteast, death would lie forgetfulness. Write to me soon. My love to all. “Alfred.' 1 Was Still Sanguine. From the letter wrhien on the day pre ceding ills (rial it Is seen that he was still, after two months’ imprisonment, sanguine and hopeful, with never a doubt about bis uiiimaie acquittal. Il is In striking contrast to the letter written after the trial, when the worst had happened and Hie nightmare had come true. We sub join boih letnrs: "At hist 1 am coming to the end of my sufferings, to the end of my agony. To morrow I shall appear before my Judges, my brow high, my soul tranquil. The trial I have undergone, terrible as it has been, lias puritied my soul. I shair return to you better than 1 was before. 1 want to consecrate to you, lo my children, to our dear families, all the time l have yet to live. "As 1 have told you, I have passed through awful crises. I have* had mo ments of furious, actual madness at the thought of being acqused of a crime so monstrous. "I am ready to appear before the sol diers as a sbldier who has nothing for which to reproach himself. They will see it in my face; they will read my soul; they CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought, 3igaatw of will tie convinced thal I am Innocent; ns all wiil who know me.” The 'etur written after hit trial reads aS fnl'eps: "I suffer much, but I pity you still more than myself. I know how much yob l ive me. Your heart must bleed. On my side, rny adored one, my thought has always been of you night and day. "To be innocent, to have lived a life without a stain, and to scone's self con demned for the most monstrous crime thal a soldier can commit! What could be more terrible? It seems to me at limes that 1 am the victim of an awful nightmare. "It is for you alone that I have resisted until to-day; it is for you alone, rny ador ed one, ihat I have borne my long agony. Will my sirength hold out to the end? I cannot tell. No one but you can give rue* courage. It is only from your love that I can draw it. "Above all else, no matter what may become of me. search for the truth; move earth and heaven to discover it; sink In the effort, if need lie, all our fortune, to rehabilitate my name, whi-h now is drag ged through the mild. No matter what may he Ihe cost, we must wash out the unmerited sta.n." Kept Him From Suicide. The following is taken from a letter In the same strain written a few days later: "I do not sleep, and it is to you that I return. Am I (lien mark-d by a fatal seal, thal I must dilnk this cup of bitterness? At tills moment I am cairn. My soul is strong, and it rises in ihe silence of ihe night. How happy we were, my darling! T-if. smiled on us; fortune, love, adorable children, a united family—everything!Then came tills thunderbolt, fearful, terrible. Huy, 1 pray of you, playthings for the children, for iheir New Year's day; li li them that their father sends them. H must not be ihat thtlr poor t-ouls, just entering upon life, should suffer through our pain. "Oh, my darling, hal not I you how gladiy would 1 die! Y'our love holds me back, it is your love only Fiat makes me strong enough to bear ihe haired of a na tion. "And the people are light to hate me; they have been tc-fl that I am u trader. Ah, traitor, the horVtble word! li breaks niy heart. "I * * * traitor! Js it pos ibD that they could accuse me ond condemn me for a ci me >o monstrous! "Cry aloud my Innocence; cry it with all the strength of your lungs; cry it upon tlie housetops, til) the very walls fall. ' And hunt out ihe guilty one. It is he whum we must find. "I embrace you as I love you. "Alfred.” Mas More Determined. After his fate was scaled and he had been removed to Devil's Island, his deter mination that the truth shall be brought to light is stronger than ever. From the first of the letters written from Devil's Island we select the following, which is in itself sufficient evidence of the bold and undaunted resolution with which he faced his fate. “I made for your sake the greatest sac rifice a man can make in resigning myself lo live after my tragic fate was decided. I did this because you had inculcated in me the_ conviction that the truth must always come to light. In your turn, my darting, do all that is humanly possible to discover Ihe truth. A wife and a moth er yourself, try to move tile hearts of wives and mothers, so that they may give up to you the key to this dreadful mystery. I must have my honor if you want me to live. I must have it for our dear chil dren. Do not reason with your heart; ihat does no good. I have bc< n convicted. Nothing can be changed in our tragic sit uation until ihe decision shall have been reversed. Reflect, then, and pursue the solution of this enigma. That will be worth (note Ilian eomirg here to share my horrible life. It will be ihe best, the only means of saving my life. Say to yourself that it is a question of life or death for me as well as for our children.” And yvhat couW be more touching than the following letter to his little boy, writ ten from Devil's Island: “Cher Petit Pierre; Papa sends good big kisses both to you and to little Jeanne. He thinks very often of you troth. I trust you will show little Jean how to make big high towers of blocks, which it Is such fun to tumble down. Be good chil dren, and pet your mother when she is sad. Also be kind to your grandfather and grandmother, and play no bad tricks on your aunts. When papa returns from his journey, you will come to meet him at the' station with little Jeanne, with mamma and all the rest. "More big kisses for you and for Jeanne. “Your Papa.” The last letter but one that is included in the book is as follows: "I have written very many letters dur ing these last months. To add anything to these would be superfluous. I have told you concerning all the appeals which I have written since last November to demand my rehabilitation, for justice at last to so many innocent victims. In one of my last letters I told you that the last appeal which I had just sent to the government was stronger nnd more deter mined than ever. I am expecting every day to hear that my restoration has taken place, thal our punishment, as terrible as it was unmerited, is at an end, that the day of Justice has come for us. I desire to-day only that I may kiss you with all my heart as 1 love you, as also our dear and adored children. Y’our devoted ■ "Alfred.” Proof of His Innocence. In conclusion, if there existed the slight est doubt of Alfred Dreyfus' innocence the publication of these letters cannot fall to dispel it. As Zola says, “No guilty man could have written them.” One fee.s from the very first letler that the writer is a brave and Innocent man. Here is a pas sage from on of the letters written from Devil's Island. "My mind," he writes, "cannot extricate itself for an instant from the horrible drama of which I am the victim, a tragedy which has struck a hlotv not only at my life—that is the least of evils, and truly it would have been better had the wretch who committed ihe crime killed me instead of wounding me ns he has—but at my honor, the honor of mv children, the honor of your all.” And again In a letter dated June 3, 1805, he writes. "Y'ou remember those lines of Shakespeare In 'Othello.' I found them again not long since among my English books. I send them to you translated: ‘Who steals my purse steals trash; ’tls something, nothing; T'was mine, 'tls his, and has been slaves to thousands; But he that fllshes from me my good name, Robs me of that which not enriches him, And makes me poor indeed.’ "Ah yes! he has rendered me ‘vraimont pniivre.' the wretch who has stolen my honor! He has made us more miserable Ilian the meanest if human creatures. But to each one his hour. Courage then, dear I.ucle; preserve ihe unconquerable will ihat you have shown until now,” And his own view of the tragedy in which lie was Ihe silent hero: “Y’ou see, darling, a man of honor cannot live with out Ins henor; 11 does no goed to tell him self thal he is innocent; he eats his heart out. In solitude, (he hours are long, und my mind cannot comprehend all that has come upon me. Never could a romancer, however rich his imag nation, have written a story more tragic. Home day when my story is told It will be incredible. Bin what we must tell ourselves now Is that I must be vindicated. .My name must shine anew, with ail the Iu s re ii should never have lost. I should rather si e my children dead than lo think that Hu name whlli they bear Is a dishonored one,” Honor Must lie .Saved, This thought is reieatfd again Hiid again. It is ihe firm ri/olvc that his honor must be saved that prevents him taking his life. Throughout he expresses (he solicitude of a loving husband and father. He must live to save his honor and for the sake of his wife and children. And now, from prestnt indication?, the whote pitiful la e w'iil have a happy ending, for it is prae tieal y certain that the derision will be reversed, and that Copt. Alfred Dreyfus will realize (he dream which he has ex pressed so beautifully in the fo lowing let ter; "The body may give way under such a burden of grief, but the soul should re main firm and valiant, to protest against a lot that we have not deserved. When my honor is given back to me, then only, my good darling, we shall have the right. tc withdraw from the field. We will live for each other, far from the noise of the world; we will take refuge in our mutual affection, in our love, grown still stronger in these tragical events. We will sustain each other, that we may bind up the wounds of our hearts; we will live in our children, to whom we will consecrate the remainder of our days. We will try io make them good, simple beings, strong in body and mind. We will elevate their fcouls so that they may always find in them a refuge from the realities of life. "May this day come soon, for we have all paid our tribute of sufferings upon this eaith! Courage, then, my darling: bo strong and valiant; carry on your work without weakness, with dignity, but with the conviction of your rights, f am go ing to lie down, to close my eyes and think of you. Good night and a thousand kisses,’* THE f AHTKH COI’RT-NARTML. Said That the President It A front to Dlnjiose of the Cane. From the New York Times. Washington. July 11.—A report was cir culated in the war department to-day to (he effect that the President is about to dispose of the long-deferred Carter case by pardoning Carter or sending him to prison. At the judge advocate general’s office nothing was known of the origin of the report, (he case having been out of (lie hands of that office for many months. But it is assorted that Attorney General Griggs has had no better luck in finding a reason for letting Carter go free than was the case with ex-Senator Edmunds and Wayne MacVeagh. The prosecution has been n little behind with information about this case ever since the courtmartial began. Mr. Fox, the counsel for Carter and for Gen. Alger, had the charges against Carter in his pos session long before they readied the court ordered <o try them. The judge advocate general will not verify the statement, heard in -the department, that Mr. Fox. who is a trusted adviser of the Secretary of War, examined every papei in th< cast before the prosecuting officers had a chance to see it. A friend of Gen. Alger remonstrated to day against the suggestion that the secre tary had kept Carter out of prision and on full pay for a year after he had been sen tenced to dismissal from the army, to pay a fine, and to be imprisoned. This defend er of the secretary insisted that it was the President, and not the secretary, who had stood between Carter and prison. In spite of the reticence of the en gineer office in this matter, it is known that officers have advised the Secretary of War that the statute of limitations came between the government and the contractors for the work in charge of Carter, in June. 1899. and that in other matters it begins to onerate in 19:11 The. engineer office will, it la understood’, produce this record in case it is hereafter sought to attribute to that office any neg lect of duty to punish Carter as his offense seemed to the courtmartial to deserve. resilts ox thi: diamond.
