Work is progressing nicely on the Paco
let mills at Gainesville. The spur tracks
put in by the Southern Railway have been
graded and rails have been laid to the
mill site. A machine is in operation
crushing the stone for the foundation and
a large quantity of sand for the same pur
pose has been hauled.
Irwin county will put in a bid for one
of the delegates to the Kansas City Con
vention from that district, and the Dem
o-rats of Irwin will suggest the name of
Hon. G. W. Smith of Fitzgerald. Irwin
has asked little of the party in a politi-
ll way. and by reason of the fact that
the county, in 1898, cast next to the larg
fst vote for Gov. Candler, it is generally
conceded that the Democrats of the sec
f< n are at least entitled to representa
• n in the National Convention. Hon.
G. W. Smith of Fitzgerald is a worm
supporter of William J. Bryan and a
stanch Democrat from every standpoint.

About seventy-hve crates of peaches
were shipped to New York from Marshall
v lie Saturday. They were the first
to ripen and be shipped from
that point. Tuesday the first carload of
peaches will be shipped. This will start
the ball rolling and will increase daily
until almost a trainload of fruit will be
shipped in July each day. Marshallville
is now the second iargest fruit shipping
point in the state, but in two years it
v ill be the largest. I< is estimated that
there will be 500 carloads of peaches, six
tv carloads of plums, 100 carloads of can
taloupes shipped from there. At the pres
ent freight and refrigerator rates, cost
of gathering, crates, commissions, etc.,
a crate of poaches must sell for 85 cents
to pay expenses before anything comes
to the shipper.
Saturday afternoon a novel sight was
s* on on the public square of LaGrange.
Between the hours of 2 and 3 o’clock the
pedestrians and merchants on the north
♦ ist corner of the square all at once no
ticed ihat the air was thick with bees.
In a few minutes they began to settle
on the branch of one of the public shade
trees and in a 111fle while a knot of bees
as big as a peck measure was hanging
to it. Mr. E. R. Bradfleld at once saw
that was his opportunity 10 start a bee
colony, and forthwise hired a man to hive
them. A table and a gum were quick
ly secured and mounted on a step lad
der. The man sawed off the limb, sprink
led the bees on the table and they at
once made their home in the gum. For
an hour or more that comer of the square
v s blocked with people watching the
Tiovel sight of hiving bees on the public
square, almost in the storev doors. The
g im was left on the table until night
fill. when Mr. Bradfleld, had It removed
t< his home. No one knows where the
bees came from.

Tampa Tribune: The cauliflower crop in
the Bay View section, will soon be ’mov
ing through this city. The return this
year has been unusually large, and the
growers of that section arc enthusiastic
over their success. It is said that unpre

Ocala Star: (Mrs. Owens, the sick wo
man in the Second ward, was much an
noyed yesterday afternoon by her husband,
from whom she has been separated severn;
years. The man became so troublesome
that complaint was made and the county
authorities issued an injunction restraining
him from interfering with the sick wo
man. The man should be locked up, but
the marshal said he could not do it unless
he saw demonstrations that would justify
him. About a month ago this man came
to Mrs. Owens’ house, ran her out, and
took possession and so worried her that
many think he caused her present illness.
She is trying to get a divorce from him.
Saturday night about 11 o’clock, D.
Leichtleitner of Palatka was run over in
the Flant System yard by a freight
train, and ihs-antly killed. Just how the
accident occurred is not known, but it
is supposed that Mr. Leichtleitner was
crossing the track as the train was do
ing seme switch.ng and seeing the train
bricking up, suppo-ed it was going on the
main line and stepped over to the side
track to let it pass, but instead of going
on the main l ne it tame down the track
on which Mr. Leichtleitner. was standing,
knock ng him down and horribly mutil

up and turned over to Undertaker Ger

Dr. W. C. Mallory died at Welborn
Thursday evening at 7 o’clock, after an

A case in court that has been consum
ing considerable int rest for the past four
or five years was decided at Gainesville
Saturday, and G. T. Kennard was con
victed of manslaughter, for the killing
of 9. P. Morgan, during the month of
November The evidence in the case,
while showing conclusively that Mr. Ken
nard did kill Mr. Morgan, tended strong
ly to show self-defense as it was clearly
proven that the life cf Kennard had been
threatened cn several occasions prior to
the killing. The killing occurred on the
east side of the public square in front
of the pos-toffice, Kennard using a double
bar: elel shotgun. The victim was almost

Beaufort. S. C.. May 28.-The Court of
General Sessions convened here this morn
and it Is expected that the case o. tl e
State against George Thomas, charged
with felonious assault, will be heard.
The testimony of the victim, Mrs. Dou
berly, embodied in an affidavit bae bean on
file in the office of the Cle k of the Court
for some time, and it is highly p olxible
that she herself will appear to ttsif/

The prisoner will be defended hy Whip

There is a large number of people from
Hardeeville, where the outrage was per-
attending court, and while they
are intensely wrought up over the .Iffair.
yet seem disposed to quietly wait the re
sult of proceedings. The identification * f
the prisoner by his victim, as appears in
her affidavit, is most conclusive.
The jury panel is composed exclusively
of white citizens.
Thomas Is a negro of the mast degraded
type, having a cast in his left eye, which
defect will doubtless lie a strong factor
in establishing his identity. The 38-eali
her Smith & Wesson revolver taken from
him at the time of his arrest and subse
quently selected from several others by
his victim as the one be drew on her, is
in the possession of the court and will
also prove a strong factor in establish

Morning News Office, May 28.—The feat
ure of the day in the local market v/as the
demand for turpentine which sprung up
towards the closing, and helped largely to
resist the backward tendency of the mar
ket up to this time. The opening was
steady, at 49 cents, with very little de
mand, and the outlook gloomy for the
good day's business. It is stated the Stan
dard entered the market for supplies, and
scon succeeded in cleaning up the offe-r
--ings at quotations. This tended to strength
en the market, and the more so after
it was rumored the company was in for
a much larger quantity than that already
bought. The rosin market closed firm and
unchanged, with transactions of a round
lot reported.
The cotton market closed nominal and
unchanged, with no demand, and nothing
to add interest to the situation. The fail
ure of -Seymour, Johnson A Cos. was re
ported in the New York Exchange, but it
was stated it had only a temporary effect
upon prices. The market was fairly well
supported by buying during the early part
of the session, but later in the day favora
ble crop reports and unfavorable news
from the dry goods centers caused a siege
of selling, which carried prices down con
siderably, the closing being barely steady,
one point higher to four points lower.
The local wholesale markets wefe steady.
The following resume of the different
markets will show the tone and quotations
at the closing to-day:

Dr. Hathaway years ago discarded th?
old-time methods of treating chronic dis

covered these new methods which have
gi\en him the world-wide reputation
which he enjoys to-day. ard the result of
which, in in variability of cure, has
brought to him a practice larger than <tvu
of any other ten specialists in the coun

STRICTURE AND VARICOCELE.
Dr. Hathaway, by a method entirely his
own, cures Stricture and Varicocele with
out any operation or pain or loss of time
from business. This treatment was Inven

will cure without aid of the knife or some
painful operation.

COTTON FI'TIHES.
New York, May 28.—Cables from Liver
pool cotton market reporting a net ad
vance of 106 points on futures and a
hardening tendency on spot cotton made
a much better showing than had been
looked for, and our market opened 3 to
17 points higher, the latter advance being
In May. Trading on the call was active,
and so it continued for some tljnp. Cjilefly
In foreign buying and local covering.
Then the failure of Seymour, Johnson &
Cos., was announced and the market im
mediately broke 5 points; only to rally
again, however, as most of the accounts
with that house had been protected.
Later in the session trading became less
active and prices worked within a com
paratively narrow scope with the general
tendency, if anything, a little downward,
as the late English cables showed a fall
ing oft from the opening. Favorable crop
accounts were also received, and there
was some disposition to sell on the un
satisfactory reports from the cloth mar
ket. Manchester reported an entire lack
of business with India, owing to the
spread of famine in that country. To
wards the close there was a sharp de
cline, under a flurry of general selling
with the market finally barely steady, one
point higher to four points lower.

Spirits Turpentine—The market for tur
pentine opened steady to-day with all In
dications pointing to a further weakening
In the situation. Laier there was a spir
ited demand, it is stated, from the Stand
ard Oil and other sources, which gave the
market a stimulus, and brought <he tone
firm, at 49c. At the closing it was stat
ed that all the offerings were gone, and
that the demand had not then been satis
fled. There seems to be a probability of
a good business on the strength of the im
provement. The receips were 1,603, sales
745 at 49c and the exports none.
Rosins—The rosin market closed firm
and unchanged to-day. Transactions
were good, and the demand sufficient to
keep business moving along encourag
ingly. The receipts were 3,145, sales 2,860

STOCKS AND BONDS.
New York, May 28.—The opening of a
new week showed no material change In
speculative conditions and the stock mar
kets of New York, London, Paris and
Berlin continued dull and neglected. Jn
New York another brokerage firm an
nounced Its suspension, <he failure being
announced, as was that of Price, McCor
mick & Cos., on the Cotton and Stock Ex
changes almost simultaneously. The
closing out of the firm's contracts on the
Stock Exchange under the rule resulted
in transactions In about 10,000 shares. That
prices were Inclined to advance under
the influence of the settlement was suffi
ciently explained by the fact that the
buying of stocks for the firm outnum
bered the selling fully 3to 1. That Is to
say, the house was largely short of the
market. The failure Is attributed to cot
ton speculation, as the recent movement
of stocks has been In favor of outstanding
contracts of the firm.
Last week's rumors of financial diffi
culties, which specified this house,
brought pressure to benr upon them and
precipitated the assignment. The fact
that the same kind Of rumors are circu
lated regarding some other houses Is a
factor In keeping Wall s4ret scntlmvnt
unsettled.
The only notable movement during the
day were the advances In Sugar, supposed
to be on bear covering, and In Burlington
on a resumption of buying of the same
character as that which has given the
stock Its recent streng4h: These ad
vances prompted some sharp rallies at
other points In the market, and some of
the earlier losses were recovered. The
market was semi-stagnant at times, and
the closing was dull and Irregular. Lon
don sold Small amounts of stock, al
though that market as a whole showed
some strength on the advance of the
British Into the Transvaal. It Is worth
remembering that the speculative world
has based Its largest hope regarding the
end of the Transvaal war on the effect
to be produced In the money market hy
the resumption of the gold supply from
the South African mines, but at the
present time there Is a reflux of cash Into
the reserves of all the great banks of
the world and Increasing difficulty Is be
ing experienced in finding profitale em
ployment for Idle capital. This Is en
tirely without effect In arousing any
speculative demand for securities, owing
to the fact that the release of money Is
due to a decline in trade. Dullness to
day was accentuated by the fact that
the week will be Interrupted by a holi
day In New York and by the year's great
racing event in London. Sterling ex
change was weak to-day.
The bond market was very dull and
showed weakness In sympathy with
stocks. Total sales, par value, $1,160,000.
United States bonds were unchanged In
bid quotations.
The total sales of stocks to-day were
213,400 shares, Including the following:
