meet in Atlanta June 19-21. The sessions
will be held at the Tabernacle Bapfist
Chur h—three sessions a day. The con

600 or 800 delegates, perhaps.
The first car of Georgia peaches from
.Varshallville left there Tuesday afternoon.
Ti e peaches are of the Sneed variety, gool
?ize, finely colored and very peachy, both
in smell and taste. The car was consign

Green goods swindlers of New’ York and
Pennsylvania have been putting in some
good work throughout the section around
Calhoun, as is evidenced by the large num
ber of new’ one dollar counterfeit silver
< rtlftcates in circulation there. Several of
the merchants ot Calhoun have been vic-
Cmized by holders of these spurious bills,
; nd it is thought that other sections of
the state are being worked by the swin
ders. The certificates in question are
clever imitations of genuine bills, and it
i- even contended by some that they are
cot counterfeit.
Tuesday afternoon Mr. L. E. Jewel of
Johns Hopkins University tO)k a trip up
the line of the Central Railroad from. Gri
ffin for the purpose of locating the north
ern edge of the shadow of the recent
ellipse. The location of this shadow line
i? a very important matter from a scien
tific and mathematical standpoint, and is
never accurately done by calculation. The
calculations are usually out anywhere
from a half mile to a mile. In this in
stance the calculations showed that the
station at Griffin was located four miles
within# the shadow’, while it was actually
about five. Prof. Jew’ell was very fortu
nate in his search, and succeeded in locat
i' g the shadow about one hundred yards
above the railroad station at Sunnyside, in
t < northern portion of Spalding county,
aid about severt mile? due north of Griffin.
B* also found several good photographs
n s<le by on amateur photographer, which
h procured. Those pictures were made
v.ithin half a mile of the line of totality,
a •) Prof. Jewell says that they are excel
biit, and very valuable in establishing the
act line between the line of total and
partial eclipse.

FLORIDA.
iMr. E. iM. Carpenter, of Orange City,
has sold all his real estate, about acres,
including forty acres*in groves to John
McCormick, of Chicago. Mr. McCormack
and wife were in Orange City several days
last week, and were much pleased with
Orange City, having traveled throughout
Florida with a view of locating, and final

Gainesville Sun: The citizens of West
Palm Beach will make a powerful effort
to have that town supplied with a sys
tem of sew erage. The citizens of Gaines
ville should do the same thing. A good
condition of sanitation cannot be obtained
without proper drainage. Protection of
the public health is a matter concerning
which the people of no community can
afford to be indifferent.
•Melbourne Times: For a mile or two
the beach at East Melbourne presents evi
dences of a recent wreck. The wreckage
consists of splintered wood, a few broken
articles of furniture, household utensils,
etc. A physician’s record has floated to
shore, which would indicate that the
wrecked boat was Spanish, as the record
appears to be that of a Spanish hospital.
A pair of wooden shoes picked up are
amusing, while it is quite pathetic to be
hold among the wreckage the playthings
of children.
Last Monday, at a turpentine farm of

The Tampa election case was finally
disposed of in court Tuesday. Judge Wall
denied the pe<ition of several of the can
didates, who recently withdrew from the
primary, for a mandamus requiring the
Executive Committee to hold a primary
election fully covered by all of the re
quirements of law. After the case was
argued by Hugh C. Marfarlane and W.
A. Carter, for the defense, and by John
P. Wall for the complainants, the Judge
announced that he could not issue the
mandamus. He stated that he did not
deem it necessary to pass upon the con
stitutionality of the act of 1897, for the
simple reason that the complainants had
utterly failed to show him that the men
who made the petition had such an inter
est in the affair as would entitle them
to the relief asked for. He could not
consider them candidate of the Demo
cratic party. He ruled that the matter
was purely a political one, and not a le
gal question, and therefore, had no place
in a court of equity. This seems to set
tle the question finally and ends one of
the greatest political upheavals tha< ever
occurred in Hillsboro county. •
Tampa Tribune: Mr. A. G. Liles, more
widely known as the “Egg-Plant King”
of Terra Ceia, was in the city yesterday.
He showed a Tribune representative
checks to the value of $1,700 as represent
ing the returns for one week's shipments
of egg-plants from his farm. Prom this
item his magnificent receipts for the en
tire season fan. be estimated. Mr. Lilea
Is also extensively interested ini the orange
industry, and stated that his interests in
orange properties would, this coming sea
son, net him $15,000.. He states the trees
around Terra Ceia are so heavily laden
with fruit that ihe boughs are almost
breaking undei* the strain. While in Tam
pa yesterday Mr. Liles bought the one
third interest of Mr. R. T. Young, in
what is known as the Bay Grove, on T°r
ra Cein Island, paying $6,000 spot cash
for this interest. The remaining two
thirds is ow r ned by Messrs. Phillips & Ful
ler, of our city, the purchase having been
made Inst fall. This grove, comsiaered
one of the finest properties of Manatee
county, contains seventeen acres of orange
and fifteen acres of grapefruit trees, and
its product this season will be enormous.
Already the ground is broken and the
sound of the hammer is resounding in the
burnt district of Apalachicola. Judge
Hicks is rebuilding his premises. A
Flatauer arrived from Atlanta Tuesday,
and a large crew of masons and carpen
ters set to work. J. E. Gray & Cos. have
already laid the foundation for a much
larger and more substantial building than
the one destroyed Friday. Qui e cr near
ly all the merchants who suffered the
loss of their places of business by Fri
day’s fire expect to resume at the old
Stand. In addition to the renewal of
business by all who were burnt out sev

authority, will soon commence bus ness
in the burnt district. Anew bank is to
go up on Water street, which wTI be a
national one, with large capita! behind it.
A “bucket shop” Is to be erected which
will manufacture baskets and matting
on a large scale. One of the ludicrous
incidents of the recent fire was the los*
of the fire engine, which came into close
contact with the flames and was partial
ly consumed while coupled to the Cen er
street well. It stands in the street half
burned, an object lesson for those who
would profit bv the mistake of the pa*t

Morning News Office, May 31.—The clos
ing of the month in the naval stores mar
ket did not brlr.g very material advances
In turpentine. Two weeks ago It was
freely predicted that the backwardness
of producers in applying shipments to
their contracts would probably cause a
rush to cover at the end which would
carry prices upward. Ins ead of advances,
however, the last day finds contracts fill
ed. the market well supplied, and the ten
dency of values decidedly downward.
The opening to-day was steady at 19. and
the closing firm at 48. It was reported
factors ttpd considerably more stuff on
hand than was needed for contracts, and
the offering of It was followed by a weak
ness which brought declines. Rosin was
in fair request, and the outlook fairly
good for. the maintenance of present
pr ces for a time.
The speculative element in the cotton
market tn the South continues bearish.
Among the large amount of selling orders
received during the day in New York a
good per cent, of them were reported to
be from the South, which has been on
the bearish side for some time past. The
selling movement was helped along by
ieports of light sales of cotton goods-
Th<? weather continues fo be one of the
strongest bear arguments. The market
for futures closed net unchanged to 12
points decline.
The fiult crops in Georgia are reaching

* COTTON FUTURES.
New York, May 31.—The cotton market
after opening at a decline of 3@12 points
became very unsettled with tiansactlons
upon a gigantic scale and all classes of
traders trying to sell at the same lime.
At the weakest interval the list showed a
break of about 15@27 points. Following
the break in Liverpool foreigners sold
heavily here and in New Orleans and the
Southern cxjitingent continued their lejr
policy and sold enormously. The selling
movement was accelerated here by adverse
reports regarding the outlook for the sale
of cotton goods In this country and
Eurotre. Discouraging reports were te
celved from dry goods markets, while crop
accounts and weather forecasts were of
the very best. Reports from Southern spot
markets were also decidedly bearish. A<
the price of raw cotton has declined about
1% during the past month, even the mo e
pronounced bears were. Inclined to cover.
Early In the afternoon a reaction set in
and prices moved up lOgaS points from the
lowest with the covering by shorts sup
ported by a demand from some pretty g od
people who operated for a substantial re
action The rank and die of the room
traders, however, remained bearish on the
general situation and sold again on this
afternoon’s recovery. The market close 1
steady at net unchanged prices to 12 poms
decline.

COTTON LETTER*.
New York, May 31.—Hubbard Bros. A
Cos. say: While our market was closed the
Egyptian operators, who have been heav
ily long in Liverpool, - liquidated their
holdings, creating not only a weak mar
ket, but a very uneasy feeling. Many ru
mors were In circulation there yesterday,
but tho settlement went through to-day
without trouble on the opening of Our
market. There was a llood of commission
selling, which, once started, was difficult
to arrest, as the short Interest Is a small
one. Some foreign nrbltrnge buying re
duced the pressure, only to witness an
other selling movement, which carried
prices to the lowest point. Our local trad
ers have been working for a reaction all
the morning on the belief that the decline
has gone far enough, for the weather con
ditions on the whole appear to be favor
able. Northern Texas seems to be the ex
ception, with rather too muoi rain.
New York, Muy 31.—Murphy & Cos. say;
Liverpool opened about 5 to G-64d lower
on futures than their closing Tuesday.
Spots were unchanged, sales 10,000 hales
There was considerable selling In Liver
pool, which caused a decline. Our market
opened about 10 points lower for the sum
mer months, and 3 io 8 lower on the next
crop. After a short period of strength,
the market bejume weak and declined It
to 20 points on the old crop and 8 to 14 on
the r.ew crop months. There was consid
erable buying at ihl decline, and th,
market became real strong, regaining th
entire loss, olcslpg sUady a, tie bo,
prices for the day.
Cotton Crop anil Conditions.
R. R. Dancy of Houston says: The cot
ton crop cf 1899-1:00 has been accepted
by the trade at about nine million bales,
and it Is probable that a high range of
values would hive been sustained for the
remaining portion of that crop, all dur
ing the summer months, but for the fail
ure of Price. McCormick A Cos. to carry
out their contracts and obligations.
On the failure of Price, McCormick A
Cos. all kinds of reports were sent to New
fork city, apparently with the view to
crush the market to the lowest point
possible, and some of them would have
led you to believe that the new crop was
alteady bring gathered. Conditions east
of the Mississippi show Improvement
lately ami increased acreage over’ last
year. But the crop Is late and nowhere
flattering. In Texas a most unsatisfac
tory condition prevails. It Is a known
fact that North Texas has planted the
largest grain crop In her history and so
can only put so much acreage into cotton,
and any Increase there would be limited.
The heavy rains have caused loss In the
bottom lands and replanting the third
time. While In the rolling country in
many places the farmlands were badly
washed and the seed destroyed, making
It necesasry to replant that portion of
the crop. Thus making planting, growth
and crop very irregular, with the bulk
of it late.
In Southern and Southwest Texas the
condition Is worse than anywhere In the
cotton belt. Much land has been plant
ed three times and each time overflowed
and the seeding destroyed, some now be
ing planted the fourth time, and some
that is still so wet It cannot be prepared
for replanting. It Is In this section where
the majority of the early crop comes
from, and just now the outlook Is gloomy
enough and has no comparison In our ex
perience over so large an area. One of
the oldest and best-informed members of
the Houston Cotton Exchange said a few
days since, he did not think It possible
for Texas to make 3,000,000 bales this com
ing seaspn. Now, I do not say that, but
1 do say that the outlook now Is not
promising fer early cotton and the con
suming world had best take good care of
what Is already made and can be had.
DRY GOODS.
New York, May 31.—There has been no
change In the market to-day, so far as
home trade goes. Demand for export
quieter. Tone easy throughout on brown

Thursday, May 31.
SPIRITS TURPENTINE —The excess
supplies put upon the market to-day had
a dampening effect, causing a decline of a
cent, the closing being firm at 48c. It
turned out that factors had more turpen
tine than they required for contracts, and
the rather liberal offerings In the face of
a light demand brought the price down
quickly. For the past two or three days
there has been a noticeable weakness, and
It Is thought the price would have drop
ped before, now but for the support the
market got from the Standard’s takings.
There was a weak undertone, and many of
the trade will not be su-rprlsed at further
declines. Tho opening was steady at 49c
with sale* of 317. and the closing firm at
4*c with sales of 612 at this price. The re
ceipts were 2,094, sales 929, and the ex.
pons 13,109.
ROSINS—The rosin market closed firm
and unchanged to-day. All grades were
In fair request, though the market waa
not specially active. There were opening
sales of 2.053 barrels reported at the Board
of Trade, and closing saleß of 410 barrels.
The receipts were 3,643. and the exports

STOCKS AND KONDS.
New York, May 31.—The stock market
struggled for a while with uncertainty and
apathetic indifference, but toward the lat
ter part of the day took on more aggr-s
--sive strength and olosed with u greater
ap|>earnnee of activity than It has shown
for many days past.
The Impulse was upward from the open
ing on a number of Influences accumulated
over the holiday. The one of widest betr
ing and Interest was the reported oaptu-e
of Johannesburg and the readiness of the
Boers in Pretoria to surrender. The buy
ing for foreign account here, however, did
not exceed 15,000 ehnres, and the ione of
the New York market became reactionary
after the opening on profit-making and on
disappointment that no greater strength
wass hown. The effect may thus be said
to have been very small and momentary
unless some of the later buying was lrv
expectation of a more active demand for
stocks from foreign source®.
The later strength was conspicuous In
the Southwestern and Western grangers,
and Is doubtless attributable to the pros
pects of the winter wheat crop. Atchison
preferred and Burlington were easily the
leaders, tho former gaining 2 and the lat
ter 2>4 on large traneactione. The strength
elsewhere In the railroad list prove! to
be in sympathy with this movement and
was not widely disseminated.
Another notable source of at-ength was
the demand for the steel stocks, which
rose at one time from 1 to 3 points all
around. loiter more hopeful views of the
trade outlook were quoted from authori
ties in the Iron trade and reports were
current of large contracts for export. The
weakness of mine stocks In Berlin was at
tribute,! to new competition from Ameri
can sources.
In Sugar the opening spurt was In sym
pathy with the unofficial quotation estab
lished by restless speculators outside the
exchange during the holiday. The opening
price at 120 was the best and before the
final rally in sympathy with the othe-
Btrength In the market, the stock relapsed
to within a small fraction of Tuesday’s
close, in spite of the credence given to
the reports of the taking over of a part of
the opiiosillon refineries in the Interest of
the American company, and a further Ad
vance of 10 points In the price of refined
sugar.
The failure of the Bank of England to
further reduce Its official rate of discount
probably had something to do with the
moderate effect of the war news on tho
markets. The maintenance of the rate 'tit
3'4 per cent., notwithstanding the repay
ment during the week of over *5 000,.0)
loans must be Interpreted to reflect the
doubts in the minds of tho governors
over the permanence of the present ease In
the money market. The large decline In
government deposits helps to explain that
ease In the case of the Bank of France,
a further gain in gold is Indicated of near
ly 27.000.600, but in confirmation of the
foresight of the authorities In Increasing
their reserves, the demand for credits ha.
Increased the amounts of bills discounted
to the extent of over $44,000,000, while ad
ditional notes have been Issued to Ihe ex
tent of over $30,000,000. A doubt Is war
ranted, therefore, whether the demand for
gold from Paris has yet been fully sat s
fled. *
The bond market was considerably more
active and stronger. Total sales, par value
$1,735,000.
