The seashore resorts are being opened for lbs seasou, under favorable aus pices and there does not appear to be a groat deal of diminution from the average io the crowds which seek the salt breeses and briny baths. The adage that “young men think old men art tools, While old men know that young men are fools,” seems ;o bavo been illustrated in tbe fight in the wheat market between Young Man Leiter and Old Mao Armour. The latter, it seems, bided his time and finally “downed” tbo new “Napoleon of Finance*’ of Chicago. The proposed tax of 10 cents a pound on import* of tea calls attention of the public to the enormous tea trade which thia country does with the great tea countries.

So far as England, Germany and Italy are concerned their commercial relations with the United States are incomparably more important than their trade relations with Spain. In these days, when lbs first international doty of every progressive nation is to develop and extend its foreign trade, the value of close aud friendly com mercial relatiorvwith tbe United States will not be underrated by tbe states men wbo control 'he politics of tbe European powers—Rochester Herald* CJUBTORXA. Attention, Farmers. Tbe farmers of this and adjoining counties are requested to meet at the courthouse in this city Saturday, - Jone IStfc, tor the purpose of electing directorejor the farmers’ warehouse. A w. Waixeb, Chairman. ’ll I* denied st Washington that word has been sent to Admiral Cervera that if be destroys the ships of bis fleet now penned up In Santiago harbor* tbe United S'ate* will demand of Spain an extra amount of indemnity equal to the value of the ships. While the ships are cornered, they are not captured. The United States would not recognise their sale, under tbo cir on instances, to any other power; but they are still in Spain’s posaeesion.and It does not appear by what right the United States could say that Spain shall nnt destroy them as a war meas ure if she desires to do so. It is to he hoped, however, that they will not be destroyed, but will fall into the hands of Sampson or Schley. Tbe American wbo succeeds in sending one of those ships to the United States with a prise crew on board will be a national hero —Savannah News. The people should not forget that a primary election to nominate three judges of the supreme court will be held on the 23rd Chief Justice Sim mons has no opposition, nor has Jus tice Lewis. For the long term, six years, Justice Fish, now on tbe b?nch, and Judge Gober will contest. Judge Fish has made a eplendyl record, b-lh on the supreme court btnch and on tbe superior tbo people will likely keep him there. He is thor oughly broken in and conversant with the work bn the supreme bench and it would be a mistake to make a change at this time —Thomasville Enterprise.
