Swainsboro Wiregrass Blad* : Judge G.
B. Rountree, who lias been- holding his cot
ton for 10 cents, decided to fell, and dis
posed of it last Monday night to Smih &
Massey. He had 123 bales, lor which he
received 9% cents per pound. The t tal
amount received for the lot was $5,149.85.
Judge Rountree at one time tefused 9%
cents for the same cotton, but that was be
fore the decline.
Rome Tribune: It is said that the ap
ple crop in this section, which gave great
promise, will be cut off considerably by
the fruit falling from the trees.. After
the young apples had attained considera
ble siee, they developed some kind of
tail'd, and began dropping off. In some
sections this trouble is worse than at oth
ers. The peach crop is in splendid condi
tion, and growers are preparing for a
tremendous harvest.
The Moultrie Banking Company will in
the Viear future, increase its stock from
$25,000 to $50,000. Although there has been
no formal meeting of the directors recent
ly, the proposition to Increase the capital
\& favored by a majority of them. By
some means, the honk’s charter limits the
capital stock to $25,000, and to increase
this. It will be necessary to amend the
charter. This will be the first step taken.
The additional stock will be offered the
public.

good and the committee is making every
effort to present an attractive programme.
Augusta Herald: Hon. John D. Little
has been, renominated by the people of
Muscogee county to represent them in the
general assembly. Out of a total vote of
2.335 he received a plurality of more than
a thousand votes. There onn be no doubt
of his re-election to the Legislature in
which he served with signal ability dur
ing the last session. He announced his
intention at that time of becoming a can
didate for re-e’ection to the speakership,
and now that he will certainly be a mem
ber of the body, his friends are rallying
to his support throughout the state.
Dahlonoga Signal: The Crown Moun
tain Gold Mining and Milling Company is
making rapid headway in preparing for
the location of their dynamo at the Sea
bolt shoals. This is a big enterprise and
many thousands of dollars will be ex
pended in its completion. Quite a number
of the stockholders in this company have
been in the city this week looking over
their fine mining propositions and all are
greatly elated over their fine prospects
to get big returns for their output in gold.
In the opinion of our best miners the
property owned by this company is .among
the very richest in the golt belt.
Bainbridge Democrat: A State Bank was
organized in this city last week with an
authorized capital of $303,000. and will be

the head of twenty-fight other banks
throughout the state), reinforced by a
numl>er of leading citizens and local capi
talists. All the necessary capital has al
ready been subscribed— which was done
24 hours after the representative of Mr.
Witham reached the City. Immediately
following (he opening of the new bank a
cotton mill will follow'. Mark the predic

At Avon Park it is learned that several
hundred acres of land have been purchas
ed in that township and near it for tur
pentine purpose*.
There is much opposition to the ringing
of the fire bell at 6 p. m., the Closing
hour for the stores, at Demand. It has
caused confusion several times, many
thinking it an alarm of fire. The ring
ing at 10 p. m. Saturday is also a nui
sance, and efforts will be made to have
It stopped.
The vegetable crop around Williston is
about over for this season. While it
has not come up to previous years in
quantity, the prices have been far bet
ter. There have been over ten thousand
packages shipped from that point, with
prices ranging from $1.50 to *2.50 per
crate, gross, and netting from 75 cents to
*.75.
Pensacola News: Commissioner Womb
well of the. department of agriculture will
have several opponents. The latest to
appear In the field is Hon. S. M. Robert
son of Washington county, a one-armed
Confederate veternn and a pratical agri
culturist, who has often been honored
with office by the peoplo of his county.
He was n member of the .Legislature
from that county, in 1897, and has many
friends throughout the state, and espe
cially in West Florida.
After taking 198 ballots at Inverness,
the Senatorial Convention for the Ninth
district adjourned Friday, without mak
ing a nomination, and referred the nom
ination of a senator for thut district back
to the people through a primary, the
Executive Committee being Instructed to
call a primary for that purpose. From
the sixth to Ute 198th ballot the vote
stood: For Dr. Sheldon Stringer, Her
nando county, two votes; Hon. John Ma
son Young, Citrus county, three votes;
Dr. J. G. Wallace, Pasco county, four
votes.
San Mateo Item: Our neighbors at
Hastings are strictly In it with their po
tato crops this season, and their returns
would make the "Yankee” farmer down
in Maine have the nightmare. Asa sam
ple of what they are doing, Mr. Erwin
shipped MO bnrrels, for which he received
$3,800. Mr. F. I*. Brown shipped twenty
barrels and got sioo net. Five dollars
per barrel is good money for potatoes.
The above Is hut a sample; carload after
carload has been going forward during
the past four weeks—-ome days ns high
as ten cars. The farmers there are wear
ing broad smiles thesi'jT ys.
Titusville Advocate: Thd estimate now
that there wtli be fully 1 1,000,000 boxes
of oranges shipped from Florida this year.
The estimated profits accruing therefrom
have been placed*at $2,090.0J0. We think
the estimate a very reasonable one, and
in fact, below’ the real mark. Five hun
dred thousand dollars more could be
„safely added to the above estimate.
The stoije and stock of goods of the
Black water Lujr.ber Company was burn
ed at Bagdad Thursday night. The loss
is about $1,500; insurance: about one-half.
It adjoined the plant of ihe Bagdad Bash,
Blind and Door Company, which was sav
ed by hard work of the bucket brigade.
H. W. Thompson, the manager, fell from
the bulging and' wa painfully hurt, but
net dangerously.
Tampa Tribune: Hon. Fred T. Myers
of Tallahassee, candiate for Governor of
Florida, arrived in Tampa last night, very
quietly. Ho was met at the train by a
few personal friends, and regirtered at
the Arno. Mr. Myers went soon after
his arrival to the office of Judge W. A.
Carter, where, i: is supposed, a confer
ence was held on the gubernatorial situ
ation, with special reference to the Hills
borough county delegation. Strenuous ef
forts are being made to control the Hills
borough delegation for Myers, although
a majority of the delegates are for Jen
nings. It is supposed that the uneasiness
on the part of hi? friends in regard to
the growing popularity of Jennings was
the real cause of Mr. Myers’ visit to
Tampa a* tills juncture. Judge Carter
is one of the hardest Myers workers in
this county, nnd the fact that the candi
date spent the evennig at his office is
very natural, under the circumstances.
Few people residing outside of Dade
county have any idea of the rapidity whh
which it has been developed in the last
few years. Henry Anthony, collector for
the county, furnishes the follow.ng sug
gestive figures: Assessed gross valuation,
1820, S4SS, J3l; assessed gro*s valuation. 1899,
$2,500,697; acreage assessed, 1890, 420,965;
acreage assessed, 1899, 660,000; registered
vot *nts, 1890. 400; registered voters, 1899,
I, revenue from taxes, 1890, $0,000.48;
revenue from taxes, 1899, $48,760.44. This
covers a period of nine years. The real
development of the county commenced
with the extension of the Florida East
Coast Railway to Miami. Four years
ago, in April, the first train of cars ran
into Miami, and ever since the develop
ment has gone on daily. Unlike many
other sections of the United States, Dade
county has never had a boom, and then
a long period of reaction or standing
still. Especially is this true of this
southernmost portion. There has not been
a day since the people went there that
there has not been a marked and per
manent advance in oil lines that go to
the making up of a substantial city and
county.
KISSIMMEE’S SCHOOLS.
Interesting Closing; Exereises Were
Held Last Week.
Kissimmee. Fla., May 26.—The closing
exercises of the Osceola High 9chool held
Wednesday and Thursday evenings were
unusuaily interesting. The first evening
was devoted to the declamation medal
contest in which six young ladies took
part, and the exercises by the lower
grades. The Carson gold medal for de
clamation was won by Miss Ruby Oliver.
Then can e the exhibition by the interme
diate and primary classes consisting of
sieging, recitations, drill, tableaus, etc.
The last evening was devoted to the
graduating exercises as follows: The salu
tatorian, Miss Virginia Parker, was very
graceful and forcible in her presentation
of her subject—" Nil Desperandum,” Miss
Parker having taken part in medal con
tests on firmer occasions was a general
favorite with the audience. Her ersay was
practical, strongly written, earnestly pre
sented and well received.
Miss Parker was also awarded the M.
Ka'z gold mathematical medal, she having
made the highest averag’ in mathematics.
Mr. Robert Watson, the only young man
of the class was eery happy in the selec
tion and presentation of his oration and
showed research and thought far beyond
one of his years.
Miss Moseley made an excellent impres
sion upon her auditors. Her essay, al
though a scientific one was practical, for
olble and was well received. Miss Porter,
the valedictorian experienced no difficulty
in gkining and holding the attention of
her audience to whem she was likewise
no stranger, and her essay was a most
excellent and appropriate one.
At the close of the exercises Supt. Hin
ton presented Prof. Shipp with a set of
r solutions expressing regret at his leav
ing and commending him for his splendid
work. Prof. Shipp has been principal for
the past four years.

Pine Crest Villa. Maitland, Fla., May 26.
—Some of the New York papers. In no
ticing her advent there as a singer of old
time negro melodies, refer to Mls Caro
line Gordon, !he gifted daughter of Gen.
John B. Gordon, as "The Daughter of
the Confederacy," who succeeded Miss
Winnie Davis. This Is an error, for Miss
Gordon did not seek, end would not ac
cept the honor, having been horn after
the war closed. She was named Caroline
in honor of her father's—then Senator
Gordon—noble work in redeeming South
Carolina from negro domination. The
only successor suggested for Mi 33 Davis
was Miss Lucy Lee Hill, daughter of
Lieut. Gin. A. P. Hlli, who is the presi
dent of the Chicago Chapter of the
Daughters of the Confederacy. Miss Lee
is a charming and talented young woman,
and was born during the war, and yet
she felt, as did all others who gave a
second thought to the subject, that Miss
Winnie Davis could have no legitimate
successor. She was pre-eminen.iy "The
Daughter of the Confederacy,” and the
old soldiers of the Confederate armies
were not willing to see her vacant Beat
filled by another, however deserving.
It is a singular fact that very few Con
fe erate grncraJs occupy official positions
in the United Confederate Veterans or
ganisation. In Georgia only Gen. John B.
Gordon the commander-in-chief, and
Maj. Gen. Clement A. Evans, commander
(f the Georgia div.sion, were Confederate
generals. Lieut. Gen. Wade Hampton com
mands the'Army of Northern Virginia de
partment, wlilch includes the divisions of
Virginia, Maryland, North and South
Carolina, West Virginia and Kentucky,
and yet he is the single Confederate gen
oral among all the commanders. Lieut.
Gen. Stephen D. Lee commands the Army
of Ter.ressee department, and has Gen.
Evans of the Georgia division! and Gen.
George P. Harrison of the Alabama dlvis
-1 n. and Gen. G. W. Gordon of the Ten
nessee division, and Gen. Evander Mclver
Law of the Florida division, all ex-Con
federate generals. Lieut. Gen. W. L. Ca
bell commands the Trans-Mississippi de
partment. and has only one Confederate
general, Gen. Tyree H. Bell of the Cali
fornia brigade in the Pacific division. Maj.
Gen. Samuel G. French was a brigade
commander in the Florida division before
his lute removal to Pensacola. It is also
worthy of note that very few old Con
federate generals attend the reunion ttn
lees held in their own immediate vicinity.
It is hoped that Louisville’s generous hos
pitality and cordial welcome will bring
together more of inis class than previous
reunions have succeeded in getting to
gether.
It will gratify the relatives of Gen. Hugh
W. Mercer to know how he was
esteemed in his early military
Gen. Winfield Scott. In October, 1833,
Lieut. E. D. Kfcyes reported to the Gen
eral as a member of his staff, and in his
"Fifty Years’ Observation” he thus refers
to the, at that time, critical period in his
military Career:
"I owed my selection for the staff to the
Influence of my very dear friend, Lieut.
Hugh W. Mercer, who was the sectond
aide. He was the son of Gen. Mercer
of the revolutionary army, and a gentle
man of the purest type. He was a model
of elegance and grace and hlg talents were
of a superior order. Gen. Scott esteemed
Mercer so highly as to take me into his
military family upon his sole recommen
dation.”
In regard to calling lieutenants “Mr.”
it seems that Gen. Scott and Keyes at that
period often did so, and yet as often used
the military title due young lieutenants.
Like Gen. Sherman in later years, Gen.
Scott was violently opposed to the mar
riage of young lieutenants.
Miss Caroline Pemberton, n niece of
Gen. J. C. Pemberton, has published a
book entitled ‘‘Stephen in Black,” which
calls forth adverse criticisms. A leading
Georgia paper says: "Miss Pemberton
is not a Southerner. Her uncle, the Gen
eral, who surrendered at Vicksburg to
Grant, was a Northern man, and he wets
always distrusted by many Southerners.”
This Is strictly true, and ye* the only
reason Pemberton was distrusted by many
Southerners, not in high station, was his
Northern birth. As early as 1862, while
he was in command at Charleston, S. C.,
this feeling of distrust resulted in his
transfer to another command. Although
he was not popular, the only excuse that
could be given was that of a subordinate:
‘"He Isn't ohe of our people, anyway, and
I don't feel just right with any Northern
born man in supreme control."
And yet, at no time, from first to last,
did Gen. Pemberton. In any of his mis
fortunes, lose the confidence of President
Davis end the highest Confederate offi
cials. The ranking Confederate General.
Samuel Cooper, was a New' York man. and
under him were French, Shoup, Gardner,
Frost, Leadbetter, Ripley. Lovell, Perry
nnd a host of other Northern born Con
federate generals. The place of birth "cut
no Ice” in Pemberton's case, for he was
as loyal to the South as he was unfor
tunate.
Not a few drummer boys have won dis
tinction on the battlefield and had honor*
"heaped" upon them for their gallantry.
In our histories of the Ciyil War will be
found the heroic records made by Drum
mer Hendeshbott, still Camous as "The
Drummer Boy of the Rappahannock" and
Drummer Clem, the little hero of Shiloh,
where his fidelity to duty and coolness In
battle Vvon the life-long friendship of Gen.
Grant. Graduating from West Point
Military Academy into the regular army,
he has been promoted for g. od service,
etc., until he is now a major in the quar
termaster general's department, ard on
duty at San Juan. Porto Rico. When Mrs.
Gen. Grant was in Atlanta, where Capt.
Clem was then on duty, a grand reception
was given her. and the presentation's were
made In a very formal and dignified man
ner. But .when Capt. Clem rone forward
Mrs. Grant greeted him with a smile ad
said: "O, I don't need any Introduction to
Johnny"—and potted him on the shruble.-,
This was a great honor from one who had
been ''The First Lady in the Land" a:
Washington and the distinguished guest
of kings and queens in other countries.
I am reminded of this striking event by
the recent advent of another “Johnny,”
who has won fame as a drummer boy
on the field of battle. Johnny Dunn of
the Dublin Fusiliers, in the South Afri
can war against the Boers, was seriously
wounded in the arm at Colensa.' On hi*
return 10 England for hospital treatment
Queen Victoria sent for him and present
ed him with a beautiful silver bugle, as
he uses that instrument Instead of a
drum. He will nlso be given a medal of
honor. Way back In 1857, during the In
dian mutiny, the attack on the gate of
DdhJ was amid terrible slaughter to the
small parly sent to blow it up, yet Drum
mer Hawthorn stood bravely at his post
until the attack was over nnd for h!s
heroic conduct he lived to wear the much
desired Victoria Cross and to hnvc his
name Inscribed on the marble tablet put
in the battered archway as a memorial
to heroic soldiers who dared death for
their flag In a far-off country.

ring lyrics outside of that realm of
thought. "Tie Battlefield” is one that
contains a verse that Is immortal, and
yet some very distinguished public speak
ers fait to quote it correctly. This is the
original wording:
“Truth, crush'd to earth, shall rise again; 1
The eternal years of God are hers;
But Error, wounded, writhes in pain, I
And dies among his worshippers.”
Now it will be seen that Bryant very ]
wisely puts Truth in the female gender,
while Error is given the masculine. And ;
here is where the mistake so often oc- j
curs, the same gender being givetj both.
An eminent English crhic has called this

But, to my mind, the entire poem is one j

TROUBLE OVER TUB SEWERS.
Wity-cros* Citizens Are Kicking.
Other Yew* Vote*.
Waycross, Ga., May 26.—There is consid
erable kicking in Waycross over the ter
minus of the sewerage system. As at first
planned out, the main pipe was to have
run Into the Satilla river swamp some
distance beyond the city limits. But the
Waterworks Commission has decided 'O
economize and now propose to lay the
main only as far as the canal, Just beyond
the residence of Mr. Joseph McQualg, ad
inside the corporate limits of Waycross.
It is more than likely that an injunction
will be filed by some of our ciiizens again- 1
this, and ah effort will be made to enjoin
the commission from making connect,ons
until the main is extended iijto the swamp,
es at first contemplated. The citizens con
tend that the accumulation of filth along
the canal would soon become obnoxious
and dangerous to the health of the city.
The commission met Thursday afternoon
for the purpose of formulating rut: s for
governing sewerage connections. It was
deckled to make it compulsory on the hos
pital, depot, hotels, jail, court house and
buildings of like nature to make connec
tions, but it will not be compulsory in re
gard to private residences.
The Congressional Convention of the
Eleventh congressional district will be
held in Waycross on Thursday, June 7.
As Hon. W. G. Brantley had no opposi
tion in the primary, he will be unanimous
ly renominated.
Hon. Arthur Emmet Cochran is an as
pirant for the position of Democratic elec
tor from the Eleventh congressional dis
trict, and his friends will urge his nomi
nation before the State Convention, to be
held in Atlan/ta on June 14.
Anew saw mill, with a daily capacity of
60.000 feet of lumber, is to be erected at
once, one mile east of Pearson. The site
is now being cleared and a large number
of cottages for the men are in different
courses of construction. The mill will
give employment to about sixty people,
and there is enough timber in the imme
diate neighborhood to keep it running for
eight or ten years.
Mr. J. E. Wilson, for several years
manager of the Waycross steam laundry,
has severed his connection with that in
stitution. and in a few weeks will have
an opposition laundry in operation.
