Dalton Argus: Honey is selling cheaper over In Pickens county than it was ever known to sell before. An old man over there married a Mias Honey, the other day, who weighed 180 pounds—lßo pounds of honey for $1.50 (the marriage fee) or five-sixth of a cent a pound. Hon. Henry M. Stanley of Dublin, who withdrew from the race for State Senator some time ago, for the purpose of letting someone from the country districts run for the honor, and no candidate from the country having announeecf, he has re entered the field, and will make the fight for the nomination on July 14. His oppon ent is Col. Ira S. Chappell ,a fellow-towns man and first cousin. Judge George F. Gober, of the Blue Ridge circuit, says that If he can get two or three peach crops like the one that is promised him this year, he will In a few years have all the money that he wants. He has one thousand acres in peach or chards. and upon them he has one hun dred thousand trees. About two-thirds of this number of trees will bear fruit this year. The surplus of his peach crop he proposes making., into brandy. Pres. C. H. Jordan of the Georgia State Cotton Planters' Association, makes this statement: “The movement to organise the cotton planters of this state and other Jou+bem states is datiy growing in.interest ind extent. While the organize!ion is but little over a week old, the machinery for rapidly pushing the various organizations in the counties of this state is getting in shape, and favorable results may be ex pected in many sections withyi the next two weeks.” Araertcus Times-Reeorder: Recent ad vices from Philadelphia jindicate that Charles Perry, the Americas' negro nab h and there upon the charge of being im plicated in the murder of Prof. White, is in a peck of trouble. It is' said that Perry has been remanded to prison with out bail and will be tried, with accom plicre, for th* crime charged. Sheriff McArthur rec ived from the Philadelphia authorities yesterdav an excellent photo graph! of the long lost Perry,, so badly wanted in Americus for burglary. But he, may never come back. Will Graham, of Rome, and son of Mr. Martin Graham, started for Canada Sat urday to join the Canadian mounted police. Every man belonging to it has to be six feet high. Young Graham Is over six feet. His father came from Canada years ago and is engaged in the cotton business in Rome. He is about six and a half feet high and Isa splendid specimen of physical development. This police force guards the frontier nearly up to Alaska. Some of them come from the best families in Can ada and England. Graham’s idea is to benefit his health. He enlisted for five years. The peach season Is fairly opening In the Fort Valley section. Thousands of crates have been shipped to Northern points. The rush of carload lots will shortly begin. The railroads have nearly 200 refrigerator cars on the sidings in readiness and when the rush is on the crop will be handled with all speed. The local basket and crate factories cannot half supply the demands of fruit carriers. Labor is coming in from surrounding sec tions and all are securing work at good wages, either as pickers, packers or crate makers. Peaches are bringing fair prices as a general rule, and a number of or chards have been sold at good figure*. Fort Valley will ship fully 1,100 cars. tfunday afternoon a negro youth about fifteen years of age, while playing in the Central Railway's yards at Fort Valley, mounted an empty flat car and started it rolling down the grads. The brake chain broke and he was unable to gain Control o£ the moving car, which ran Into a string of about, twenty refrigerator cars which were standing on the siding and put them In motion. Afte,r' running several hundred yards Iwo refrigerator cars jumped the track and were wrecked across the mail* line, obstructing trains for several hours. Hut for the heroic and prompt action of Mr. R. L. Braswell there would have been much more se rious damage. Mr. Braswell, who Is nearly sixty years of age. sprang on one of tho rapidly moving runaway cars put on brakes and succeeded in stopping all but the two end cars, whluhi were loose from the ■ring. The boy. who was working for S# road gang, was arrested.

These three Jurymen, who thus cou- fSjje Jlcftiing fJetog. tended, said that they would never *.ive over, and the other nine were equally lirm in their determination that the defend ants should be held liable for damages 10 the plaintiff’s character. The present prospect is that the whole trial will have to take place again. FLORIDA. Sanford Chronicle: Last week 1,012 pounds of fine trout were caught by Messrs. Kolliston and Baker with a pole and line. Over €OO pounds were caught In less than six hours. The llsh were taken at Lake Harney, and the fishermen say they strike so rapidly that the bait rarely touches the water. The busiest lot of men in Miami at the present time are the members of the var ious Fourth of July committees. If hard work and thorough preparation will make the celebration a success It will succeed. Monday the Transportation Committee re ceived from the traffic manager the rates, which are highly satisfactory to all. There 1 is considerable talk on the streets in Ocala to the effect that the Marion county delegation to the Slate Conven tion would like to vote for J. D. Robin son for railroad commissioner. There is no one in that section, it is said, who is in better position to know the-wants* of the farmers, truckers, lumber men *and all classes of shippers, than Mr. Robinson. Gainesville Sun: The purchase by the city of the gas plant meets with general approval. It is a movement in the right direction, and we believe it will prove fully as advantageous to the city as has the ownership of the water works. Whit© Gainesville has liabilities it has assets ample to meet them. It is probable that if properly managed the gas and water works plants will, in a few’ years, liqui date the entire indebtedness of the city. One of the largest baptisms ever seen In Sanford took place on Sunday last in Lake Monroe. Roy. R. Brewer, pastor of the Colored Baptist Church, perform ed the ceremony. Twenty-one men, wo men and children, varying in age from six to seventy-five, were baptized. The shores of the lake and wharves were thronged with spectators. Rev. R. Brew er, an intelligent negro and earnest preacher, is doing good permanent work among the colored people of Sanford. Word has been received in St. Augus tine, to the effect that the war depart ment at Washington has rejected all bids made under the recent sale of ordnance held at St. Francis barracks, and the old guns, shell, gun carriages, etc., will re main there.* Most of this old ordnance is at Fort Marion, and those interested in the historical old structure will be glad to learn that the old guns and shell, which have been within its walls for so many years, will remain there undis turbed. Mr. Peckham Adkins. SO-odd years of age, died at his residence, three miles west of Hawthorn, Friday night. His re mains were burled Saturday afternoon. He has been in poor health fdr some *ime. He was a large cattle raiser and a successful orange grower. He owned the famous big ofange tree, from which was gathered when it was 22 years old from the seed, 11.640 marketable oranges in 1583 or 1884. This tree was killed in 1886. He left lwo sons and three daughters, and many grandchildren. His oldest living son, C. W. Adkins, who was on the jury now sitting in Gainesville on the Sum mers murder case, wag unable to attend the funeral of his father. The trouble among the cigarmakers at Tampa took a little aggravated turn Mon day afternoon, when another factory was closed on account of a strike. About 1 o’clock the men walked out and refused to work until their demands were grant ed. Sanchez & Hayn had discharged an Italian cigarmaker on Saiurday, and now the men want him reinstated, and they also want him and all those working on the particular sized cigar he was at work on to receive $3 tier thousand more than before. These demands were not grant ed, and the strike ensued. The factories of the Havana-Ameriean Company, which have been closed for some weeks, will probably open this week, and have a gen uine respite from labor troubles. Montioello Tribune: A deal has been closed by George W. Saxon, president of the Capital City Bank of Tnllahassee, act ing for G. N. Henson, president of the Citizens’ Banking and Trading Company of Chattanooga, for a site on which to build and operate a cotton seed oil mill, Mr. Henson is at the head of a syndicate which already owns several plants of this character in other states. The mill will be erected near the cotton compress, at the Florida Central and Peninsular dppot. Work will be commenced at once, and the plant will be in operatiem in time to utilize the seed of the crop of 1900. It is said that a mill to grind grits, cotton meal, etc., will be in course of construc tion before the oil mill is ready for oper ation.- Tampa Tribune: Recent and Important This spls lor list 480 Court land Ave„ Atlanta, Ga..

New York, June 6.—The movement of cotton prices to-day was frequent and vio lent, with both aides receiving setbacks. The l*ear faction had the advantage on the opening, inasmuch as English cable news was very unsatisfactory, and the weather news more encouraging, and they succeeded in forcing prices off 3 to 7 l>olnts. On this break August touched 7.99 c. with scarcely any effort made by the holders to arrest the turn. The for elmi contingent and the speculative public sold on the slump with an unusual degree of confidence. But toward midday a feel ing of distrust invaded the bear camp and prices were soon reacting rapidly on pur chases from all sides. Early In the af ternoon* the up-turn became sensational in Us rapidity, with July easily the leader. Shorts were temporarily panic-stricken by a jump of 28 points in July in New Or leans. which private advice* declared had resulted from a wild scramble of shorts to cover on had reports from the central belt. In the local markets July advanced to 8.45 c before a breathing spell was taken. Later in the day the market was nervous, with trading spasmodically active. Sen timent was very much mixed, and both longs and shorts endeavored to reduce commitments, particularly as opinions concerning the probable acreage estimate of the Chronicle to-morrow differed in the extreme. Europe was a heavy buyer on the afternoon rise, and considerable cotton was also purchased for Southern account. The close was quiet and steady ,at a net advance of points, the market having eased off under realizing. New York. June 6.—Cotton future* opened easy and closed quiet and steady.

New York, June 6.—'About midway of today’s session of the Stock Exchange there was a rise Of 3 points In Now Jer sey Central on rumors of control by Bal timore and Ohio. This Incident offered an Isolated feature of strength In the day’a market and caused the only brief respilo from the mood of depression whl h pre vailed all day. The most affective single factor was tho warlike developments in China. This In fluence was reflected In. N4w York from foreign stock markets from the opening here, and London’s actual sale* In this market on that account ran up to about 30.000 shares, about half of which were of Atchison preferred. Even as a direct Influence this selling had a notably weak PAGES 9 TO 10. enlng elTect In so narrow a market as now prevails. The sympathetic effect of the foreign weakness was eVen more marked. Wall street entertains no great apprehension (hat the IJnltcd States will become directly Involved In thee difficul ties in China. But commitments of Ameri can caplial In foreign money markets nnd the extension of American commercial In terests have- grown to such proportions that any event which would precipitate liquidation In foreign marke's rqutet he re flected directly and strongly In the Uni teel States. Besides the news from Chine, foreign markers were affe-ctel b,v the tightening of the money rate In London and Parts and a slightly easier t' v re li the Berlin money market was n t s tffi clenit to ofTset other depressing factors. The break In the foreign prices of Iron and rumors of further cone' selort In Iron prices In this country emphasise! the weakness of stocks, troth alrrood anti In (tils country. News of the dotnrsllr lroi trade was confused, reports of declining prices being mingled with repoHs of re opening of some mills recently closed down. Tennessee Coal was the weakest of the steel group and lost 2Vi. In the general list prices were weak through u’, but stocks which have shown some strength recently were most affec ed. Atchison preferred, St. Paul, Baltimore and Ohio. Union Pacific and Louisville were exarftples. Denver and Rio Grand' preferred fell 2V4 poims on rumors of the acquisition of the Colorado Midland by rival interests, and Great Northern pre ferred declined 4 points. Thore Is growing uneasiness In specula tive circles over the prospects of th* wheat crop, based upon the low condition reported to-day from Ohio hi and the con tinued drouglh tn the Northwest. The convening of the Joint Passenger Com mittee In this city and the meeting to morrow of railroad presidents to att*mpt an adjustment df rate disturbances calls attention to that sotiroe of danger to values of railroad securities. The money market continues almost rn precedeittly easy tn spite of the taking up by the sub-treasury from the lo.al banks of $2,630.(8)0 thus far this week. This gain by the sub-treasury is due to the ta Ung In of government deposits from the banks, and the money will be returned to the channels of the market as scon as the 2 per cent, lmnds which have been called are presented for redemption. The bond market weakened In sympathy with stocks on a moderate volume of business. Total sales, par value. $1,195 0 0. United Slates bonds were unchanged In bid quoiutlons. The total sales of stocks were 242.80) shares, Including Atchison, 8.040; to. pre ferred, 37,750; Baltimore and Ohio, 10.233; Chicago.
