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 est are hunches run by naphtha or electric engines, while the largostare irmmpertsof 8,000 tons. This does sot include the freighters bought dur ing the past week. 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 was- ji a.'j- i jg-g- 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* dealer. 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. i - lUiiiitmmimiiiiiiiiiMiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiuuim MOTHERS, 1 READ TH|S! .J Do Yon Want to Know the Best Kemedy for I Flatulent Colic, Dysentery, Nausea, Coughs, Cholera Infantum, Teething Children, Cholera Morhns, = Pains, Griping, | And All Diseases of the Stomach and Bowels? s Hl ’ IS THE STANDARD. = i s Xt carriee Children over the critical : = period of TEBTHIMG, and is highly = s recommended by the best physicians, s S It is pleasant to the taste and never E i falls to give satisfaction.
