The Democrats of the Second district
are talking of Dr. E. B. Bush of Miller
and Henry M. Mclntosh of Dougherty
as two men who would ably represent
their district at Kansas City. Both are
strong Democrats, and would figure prom
inently in the Georgia delegation.
Four of the twelve negroes, captured
in Andersonville last Wednesday by the
sheriff and military, entered pleas of
guilty in Americus Saturday to charges
aseinst them. Peter Jones was sentenc
ed to a term of two years or a fine of
J'su. General Lalng and Eph Daniel were
tineu SSO each or ten months in the gang.
Several of the others will likely go the
same route as the result of the recent
Andersonville orgic.

maining out all night the Jury in the case
of T. B. Sims versus S. R. Sims, peti
tion for Injunction, etc., rendered a ver
dict yesterday morning in favor of the
plaintiff, or petitioner. T. B. Sims. The
litigation was for the possession of the

Sims.
Friday night Jerome Henson, J.. R. Mc-
Coy and John Thompson escaped from
Walker county Jail at Lafayette. Hen
son was convicted of murder at the Feb
ruary term of Walker Superior Court;
McCoy was charged with assault with in
tent to murder. They sawed the bars
out and then worked the brick out in
the wall until they had a hole large
enough for a man to go through. This
done, blankets were tied together, by
which they let themselves to the ground.
News has been received at Griffin of
the death of Mr. Jim Sims, a young man
about 23 years of age, who lives sixteen
miles from that place, on the Jackson
road. About a week or ten days ago Mr.
Sims was bitten by a mad dog and hy
drophobia at once set in, and along to
ward the last the rabies were so bad that
he was kept in his bed at times by force.
Mr. Sims was a young farmer who was
very highly respected by all who knew
him, and his sad and tragic death Is deep
ly regretted.
A letter was read at a recent meet
ing of the trustees of Gordon Institute, at
Barnesville, from Congressman Charles
L. Bartlett, stating that at the beginning
of the next school term officers from the
regular army would have been assigned
tn the different colleges where they were
located before the Spanish-American War.
This will, of course, include Gordon In
stitute. It is expected that the officer
who goes there will have the rank of
first l'eutenant, and will be from the In
fantry branch of the service.
Hon. Eel Wight of Albany, who was a
prominent member of the last Senate, and

he will introduce a bill In the next Legis
lature providing for an amendment to the
constitution so as to change the system
of electing Judges and solicitors general,
ms bill will provide for the appointment
of these officials by the Governor, snh-
Jeet to confirmation by the Senate. He

Home Tribune: North Georgia Is radi

—'he prospect being the. best of many
years. From every section of the fruit
belt—no longer exclusively the cotton belt
—comes the glowing and inspiring story.
The crop will He one of the finest ever
known, and already growers are laying
their plans for marketing. The Calhoun
Times says of the crop: The outlook for
an enormous peach crop was never
brighter and the prospect for a good price
" **ll thut could be asked. Mr. G. H.

Mr. Miller will see .to the selling of all
the peaches in this section, which insures
the growers the besf markets, Miller’s
own crop this year is estimated at half a
million crates, and he is familiar with
all the leading fruit dealers in ihe Union.
Preparations for gathering the new’ crop
are being perfected and picking will be*

variety, and as there are nor many of
these, the work- will soon be finished. The
big job comes when ihe Elberfeas ripen in

Tampa Tribune: Mr. John Mahoney,
well known all over South Florida, died
last night at the Plant Hotel. Mr. Ma
honey has been in bad health for several
months and his death has teen expecud
for some time. He was considered one of
the best accountants in the country, and
was a hale fellow well met with every
body. He was his worst enemy. Dissipa

ihe hearts of those who are near and
dear to him. To the bereaved, the Tribune
extents its sincerest condolence.
Manatee reports that notwithstanding
the lateness of the spring, because of so
much rain, a large amount of vegetables
have been shipped, and large shipments
are still being made. Good prices are re
ceived. Should the rainy season hold off
three weeks longer, growers will realize
quite as much from their crop as in any
previous year from the same acreage.
Farmers are beginning to work their
orange proves for the final lay-by by the
rainy season. The trees are looking well,
and the fruit is showing up nicely, with
every indication of a large crop of very
fine, bright fruit.
Exports from Pensacola to foreign ports

Pineapples for the last two or three days
have been arriving at Miami freely. Fri
day E. C. Walker shipped two ears to
Boston; W. W. Jackson, one car to Chi
cago; Mr. Norris, one car to Chicago;
Catrt. Lowe, one to New York; George S.
Mayes, one car to Chicago. Friday two
carloads arrived from the Keys, and went
forward Saturday. The weather for the
past few days has been favorable for the
fruit to ripen. If the weather holds warm
and dry the balance of the crop will be
moved within the next ten days. The ap
ples this ear. as a rule, have been of good
size and quality. The high price paid for
this season's crop is already being felt,
and planters are arranging to enlarge their
fields, and others are arranging to plant
quite heavily. The pine crop is one of
the most profitable fruit crops grown.
Miami Metropolis: Joseph Mounier, who
has two large apiaries on Elliotts Key,
consisting of some 125 or more b;e hives,
has commenced shipping this season’s
honey, having already sent out ten bar
rels. He estimates that he will have at
least 100 barrels pure extracted honey this
season. Mr. Molinler is putting out ala g?
orange grove down there and says his
trees are looking splendidly. He thi’ ks
that he can make a grove there at less
expense than one can be buildtd In any
other portion of the state, as no fertillzeis
are required and no protection from told.
The trees will never grow so latge as In
the old orange belt of the state, but they
will fruit heavily and because of the ex
emption from cold, enabling them to be
kept on the tree's until late in the sea on.

Leesburg Commercial; The primary sys
tem of nominating candidates for state
and federal offices, as well as for legis
lative and county offices, seem to be grow
ing In favor in Florida. The First and
Second Congressional Conventions hav
passed resolutions for primary nomina
tions, and the probability is that the State
Convention will also vote for state prima
ries und, i>erhaps, recommend the n-:mln
atlon of United States senators by thl*
system. Georgia makes all of its nomina
tions by the primary system, and there
appears to be no reason for the state re
turning to the convention plan of former
years. Personally, we have no objectcln
to the primary system, other than that
it places unnecessary burdens upon the
candidates for office, many of whom, the
very best men of the state, are unable
to stand the heavy expense of the ne es
sary canvass, and who, for such reason,
would be compelled to remain out of the
race.

B@lo Points—Rains in Mississippi
Vnlley and Unfavorable News
From Other Sections.
Morning News Office, June 4.—The local
exchanges were closed to-day in observ
ance of the holiday. There was little of
interest to note in the minor markets,
most of which were steady and in the
main unchanged. The warm weather
makes the handling of perishable stuff
risky, and commission men rry con
signments to retailers as fast as possible
after they are received.
Advices from the trading centers show
ed that the cotton market was very
steady, and that prices gained from B@lo
points on Saturday's closing. Unfavor
able reports from the crop districts had
the effect of turning a considerable ele
ment of the trade to the bull side, and
the buying which followed this imparted
strength which resulted in advances.
Heavy rains were reported in the Missis
sippi valley, which gave the bearish ele
ment reason to stop and ponder. To
ward the close the market was dull and
inactive.

COTTON FITCHES.
New York, June 4.—Very little enthu
siasm entered into to-day's operations In
cotton ard the total scope of fluctuations
did not exceed 10 points. This was due
laigtly to the absence of news from the
English market which was closed; but
while hesitant, the local trade was lufll-
Ishly inclined on unfavorable crop and
weather news, and evidence of a better
fe< ling abroad, the latter Indicated by
the presence of buying orders from Eng
land and the continent. Moreover, New
Orleans appiared to be satisfied with the
extmt rf Its ohllga'ions’sn the hear side,
while the public was Inclined to purchase
In the expectation of bullish rallies from
Liverpool to-morrow. The market made
a steady start with prices 1 point lower
to 5 points higher and followed the call
gradually worked upward on light buy
ing for the sit l-ment of local short ac
counts and moderate purchases for for-'
ilgn and Inves-ment accounts. After mid
day the market was neglected and dull,
most of the time with (he undercurrent
cf sentiment, however, friendly. The lo
cal bear faction expressed less confidence
In a faVorable government report next

Cos. say; Liverpool will, CsßP<n to-mor
row when the situation will appear eome
what cleared to the trade.. In the mean
time, the improvement of to-day is large
ly due to the desire to be without interest
in the market on the part of the trade In
general, until advices are received from
Liverpool. That market is the one wheie
the statistical position is the strongest,
and the one which is now expects ;o
show the strongest tone. Rainy weather
in the Mississippi Valley increased fhe
desire not to be short, pending further
advices. Fair weather is predictid for
Texas and showers for the Atlantic
States. This is the character of weather
needed In both sections. The market will
remain dependent upon the weather, with
the trade looking for better foreign ad
vices to-morrow.
New York, June 4.—Murphy A Cos. ray:
Cotton in Liverpool holiday until to-mor
row. Advices of further heavy rains <n
the Gulf States caused a rise in this
market, but business is not active and is
mainly for local account. Europeans dll
little buying. It Is a weather market and
further unfavorable accounts from Texas
would have a stimulating effect.

STOCKS AND BONDS.
New York, June 4.—The stock market
relapsed again to-day in the reactionary
condition, showing the fame apathy enl
hesitation which characterized It for some
time previous to the slight fillip which
gave an appearance of some animation and
strength last week. There were times to
day when stocks were offered quite free
ly and in considerable variety and the
entire absence of demand made prices
vulnerable to the efforts by professional
bears to bet them to a lower level. The
actual news of the day offered little to
account for the weakness in the market.
Probably the correct explanation Is the
conviction now become general in Wa.l
street that last week’s buying was due
to the closing, up of some extensive short
accounts by one or two operators on a
large scale. While that demand found
very scanty offerings of stocks Jt failed
entirely to attract any additional demand
Commission house business continued at
a very low ebb. There was some specula
tion In Sugar during the day, based oii
the dividend prospects. It was expected
that the quarterly dividend Atrould he de
clared to-day. but It was announced dur
ing the trading that action would he de
ferred until to-morrow. Intimations were
given out, however, (hat the Executive
Committee had already determined upon
a 144 per cent, dividend for the quarter,
maintaining the same rate as the last
dividend. The price was run up to 19%
by this rumor, but later fell back below
Saturday's price, closing a shade off on
the day.
The Whitsuntide holidays In London and
on the continent left the market without
any Index of foreign conditions. Some
sentimental depression was caused, how
ever, by the delay In the occupation of
Pretoria and by suggestions of money
market difficulties In Berlin. The beais
professed some uneasiness also over pos
sible complications In the far East. The
closing of the Illinois Steel Company's
mills In South Chicago made tlr> s'eel
stocks especially weak early In the day,
but the tone of the group became steadier
In the late weakness of the market. A
rise of 3 points In New Jersey Central
caused a temporary hardening of the coal
ers, but It did not hold. The Heavy loan
expansion of the banks diseksesd hy 9at
urdayhi laank statement, bringing the loan
ltenj to the largest figure In the history of
the clearing house, was unexplained by
news of any special transaciion. In ih s
connection discussion was caused by the
dispatch from Berlin to the Asso.dated
Press reporting a project hy German
financiers to Introduce the Imperial 3 ter
cent, bonda upon the American market,
owing lo the great abundance of capital
In the United States.
The Treasury Department’s estimate of
the amount of money In circulation on
June 1 shows an Increase for the United
B;ates of $14,162,468 for the month. In spile
of the gold exports of over $10,000,000. and
the taking up of the treasury surplus of
nearly $5,000,000. The prospect of an eirlv
resumption of gold receipts from the
Transvaal, the expectation that shipment,
Mil soon be received from Cai>e Nome
and the Klondike, and the high rate of
production reported by American mines
arouses the discussions as to the future
effect on prices of this large soppy cf
money metal. The small brokerage f I lure
announced during the day was without
effect on the market.
The bond market was dull and lingu
lar. Total sales, par value, 31.180 000.
