It is stated by those who are in position to know t*hat there Is going to be shipped from Albany and near-by points this season one of tlfe finest crops of cantaloupes ever produced in Southwest Georgia. It. 1ms been a good season for the luscious Rockfords, which require weather and conditions of season of a particular kind. Too much rain, too much dry weather, too much high wind, either or all, will ruin a canta loupe crop quicker than any that grows in this section. And although the present crop has been “on the ragged edge” several times, the es sential changes in conditions have al ways dome at the opportune time. It will be several weeks, yet before shipments of cantaloupes begin from this section, but unless very adverse conditions are experienced in - the meantime the grade of the fruit to be sent forth to the markets of the world will be unusually high. There is reason to believe that, there will be ample demand for all the cantaloupes raised in this part of the country this season. Planters have profited by the experience of former years, and are not planting more than there is reason to believe can be profitably marketed. It Is quality that counts in raising this popular fruit, rather than quantity, and there are no finer melons grown In the country than are shipped eVery year from Albany. Remains Carried to Maine. Mrs. W. F. Gay left yesterday at noon for Farmington, Maine, her for mer home, to carry the body of her late husband for interment Mr. Gay died on the 27th of last September. The body was embalmed, and since that time has remained at the undertaking establishment of W. H. Wilder & Son. It will be interred In Farmington this week, but Mrs. Gay will probably not return to Albany until fall. AIRSHIP COLLAPSED 500'FEET IN AIR. Aeronaut Lincoln Beachy Had a Nar row Escape With His Life.' Cleveland, O., June 3.—While mak ing a trial flight with his airship here today, Lincoln Beachy, the young San Francisco aeronaut, narrowly escaped death by the collapsing of the frame work of the car. The airship was 500 feet in the air when the accident occurred, and the daring young navigator was saved from being dashed to the ground only by the narrowest margin. He man aged to guide the airship until it was but fifty feet above the ground and although it fell that distance he es caped uninjured except for a few bruises. The airship was partly wrecked. Everything was running smoothly, when, without warning, the two bam boo poles at the center of the car near the engine snapped in two. This caused the entire framework to dou ble up like a jack knife. The rapidly revolving propeller was hurled into the forward end of the big balloon, cutting a big opening in it. The es caping gas caused the car to sway to and fro and it was with-difficulty that Beachey remained in the cage. The car started to drop slowly, and, the rudder being useless, it was blown over the park in the opposite direc tion from which it was headed. The !hydrogen gas which filled the balloon poured down on Beachy, nearly smothering him. Fortunately the gas escaped slowly and there was enough in the balloon to support the car Until it was within fifty feet of the ground. The descent had been gradual, but owing to the swaying of the car and the fumes of gas, Beachy was in con stant danger of death.
