The Central' Bailroad has published
a list of fruit and melon growers along
its line of road, together with the acre*
ago planted in melons, and tbo number
of bearing poach, pear and plum trees.
It shows 5,236 acres in melons, 1,983,-
460 bearing poach, 67,000 pear, and
61,200 plum trees.
Tbo United States government has
. bought altogether 253 boate since the
beginning of the war, and has paid
- over $9,000,000 for them Tbo small

sot include the freighters bought dur

Sampson did not fall far ebort of
duplicating Dewey’s victory, says the
Savannah News. History does not
record any two «uocesoive z den>onstra*
lions o( supremacy at sea so complete
ao tbe American victories at Manila
and Santiago. If Spain is still unsat
isfied, Watson will shortly repeat tbe
performance with Camara *« the vic
tim.
Fuller accounts of the duel between
tbo Count de Castellan* and M.Tnrot,
tbo Paris editor, chow that some 40(
people witnessed tbe affair, come o
them being Bohemians from a neigh
boring fair. This is hardly according
to precedent, but, after all, why is it
not a good plan? If a good price wore
obarged for admission as for prize*
fights in this country, French dueling
might be made aoremunerative as it is
harmless, remarks an exchange

Tho bankruptcy bill has been signed
and goes into immediate effect with
these conditions: No petition for vol
untary bankruptcy can be filed within
one month from tbe passage of the act
—that is to say, until Aug. 1. No pe
. tition for involuntary bankruptcy can
bo filed within four months of tbe
passage of the bill, or before Nov. 1
Proceedings commences, under state
insolvency laws are not affected by tbe
passage of the act.—Cleveland Plain*

The transports which take tbe Amer
ican troopi to Cuba hereafter will
probably be supplied with roturn car
goes. We now bold several thousand
Spanish prisoners, with thousands
more in prospect in the near future.
It io understood tbe government io
making arrangements for the estab
lishment of a military prison at a
South Atlantic city, though the site of
it has not yet boon announced. The
railroads, however, will probably try
to get a haul out of the situation.
Capt. Charles V. Gridloy, command
er of Admiral Dewey’s flagship Olym
pia, in the battle of Manila, speaking
on his deathbed of the expedition
which tbe government is sending to
the Philippines, said: “I feel sorry for
those boys they are sending out to
Manila. They are in more danger
from theacourages of tbe country than
from Spanish bullets. The heat io
simply damnable, and they are sure to
sicken. The fleet has boon singularly
free from it, but I fear it will come.
I have no desire to criticise any plan
of the government or to stand against
tbe wiobeo of tbe people, but I see in
those islands for us but a coaling sta
tion. Not one in ten of our best men
could survive there.”

Tk TV w’a TLaal Victims
News comoo from Spain that the
worry and excitement of .be war is
gradually killing the mother of tbo
Queen Regent. This leads to the
thought that there are mothers on
this side of the ucean who will be
driven to sickness and death by ' the
worry and anxiety that comes with
war. Tbe real victims of battles are
not always tbe men who fall upon the
battle field in the service of their
country. Often times the end comes
so quickly and with such ease that
tbo poor fellow who falls knows noth*
ing of it. In tbo stir and excitement
of battle—inspired by the blare of
martial music and spurred on by
heroic impulses—the soldier moves
forward heedless of danger or death.
Il ir different with tbe old mothers
at home. However loyal they may be
to their country and however much
they may wish to see the names of
tbeir sons er rolled high in the temple
of fame, tbeir Ignorance of tbe fate
that may befall their soldier boys
brings on a siege of worry and anxiety
—hoping and fearing, and doubting
and praying—until tbe heart becomes
sick and mental and bodily ailments
follow. All over our land the strug
gle in heart and mind will continue
with the old mothers of the soldier
boys until tbe war is ended.
May tbe Good Spirit be with them!
Without tbeir exalted influence there
would be no hero’o lives to sacrifice in
battle, and without tbeir gemle niiu
ietrationa national honor and liberty
would hardly be worth fighting for.—
Valdosta Times.
