AMULETS—A SO M.'.

Out of the dark your eyes
Beckoning far and fair.
Under whoso laughter gleams
A witchery of dreams,
A fantasy of. prayer—
Making new hopes arise
Out of the dark * * your eyes.
Out of the storm your voice
Bidding the sea be still—
Warm with the kindly mirth
And honesty of earth;
Rousing my strennh o will.

Out of tho storm * * * your voice.

THE
MINISTERIAL LIVEIt JAUN-
DICED.
Dr
Broughton has struck another
pessimistic vein. Atlanta and the
rest of the country—Atlanta comes
first, of course, and sets the examplo
—Is rapidly going to the demnltlon
bow wows. Last week thousands flock
ed to hear 'Caruso and Gadskl and
other great singers where there were
only hundreds to hear Dr. Broughton.
What more evidence could, be needed
that ruin is hovering over the wicked
city, that tho wrath of heaven I3 about
to fall upon It, and that destruction
and death can only bo averted by a
great revival hold by Dr. Broughton.
One Baptist clergyman, with lovel
Lead and unjauudlced eye-laughed af
ter Dr. Broughton had pictured the
frlglirful state of Atlanta and the
country at large. His vision was
keen enough to pierce through the
clouds and see the real source of
trouble. Dr. Broughton Is trying to
raise money for his church and other
enterprises. The money has been
coml.ig la slowly. Tho statement that
the opera people took in 870,000 In
one week was well calculated to dis
tress the reverend gentleman’s mind.
It up et his liver and In fancy ht
saw a new ML Aetna pouring lava
and ashes over tho wicked capital ot
the 3 ate.
Dr. Ip-oughton will have the revival,
assisted by all of the other preachers.
It Is well that it should he so. But
while the revival may do good no
tie will believe that the neaess.ty is
as urgent as the calamity painters
picture It. Atlanta is a pretty good
city from a moral and religious stand
point. And long after Dr. Broughtbn
has : emoved to London it will bo go
ing along serenely, building up ma
teria 1 ly, advancing in culture, and, In
all likelihood, displaying the graces
ot Christian brotherhood and love just
as It does now. Dr. Broughton only
Imagines that things are so wicked.
He Is simply looking through a glass
darkly.
The New Orleans reviewers of the
cotton situation look with satisfaction
on the future. They regard the crop
prospects as good, but with no pros-
ablllty of the output being sufficient
to over-meet the world’s consumptive
requirements. As they regard It, the
manufacturing Interests will be stiort
of raw stocks when the new crop
comes upon the scene, tho crop wllll
be of moderate proportions, and re
munerative values are assured tho
planters of the South. Early frosts
or an excessive destruction by the
boll weevil might easily insure fif
teen cent cotton during the coming
winter. In reviewing the situation
the authorities there say:
Last week the local trade was busy
trying to make up Its mind what tDe
big bulls were going to do with the
old crop and whether tho new crop
would ultimately be cf the bumper va
riety, such as it started out to be.. Tile
majority have come to the conclusion
that- tlie bull leaders can and will
carry their eampa gn into the active
months following May, and this will
serve more tt.un ever to limit trading
in July this week. Probably-August
ami September wil grow more active
because the risk of manipulation In
them is not so great. At the end of
last week it was qu'to generally ad
mitted that a record-breaking crop
this season is now next to impossibLe;
this conclusion was seen In the mar
ket letters of more than one firm
that had been pursuing a non-com
mittal course and resulted in the ad
vice to customers to enter the mar
ket on an Investment basis and to
take the long side of the new crop
months. This advice, which was sent
out quite generally throughout the
cotton belt, ought to lead to more ac
tivity iu tho new crop months, al
though not necessarily to an imme
diate advance. Investment buyers are
not looking for Immediate profits as
a rule, but rather prefer a stationary
and even a declining market while
tl»y place their purchases. Tho chief
reason why this buying may not have
much effect Is the uncertainty over
the English situation, and the reports
of more or less rain in the cotton
country over Sunday. Quite natur
ally, If rains continue this week, a
lower market will bo seen. Rains,
now, however, will change the opin
ion of only the scalping element, but
not that of the investing element, for
the latter Is now wedded to the opin
ion that the best of weaber from now
on cannot result In the raising of
enough cotton to supply the needs of
the world, because the crop is getting
too late a start, which lays It liable
to more than ordinary damage from
the boll weevil and early frost In the

First Shipment In Ameri-
cus About June I.
Mr. H. C. Bagley returned to At
lanta yesterday after having spent'
two days In careful inspection of
the Bagley-Ray orchard near Amerl
cus, which promises such an abund
ant yield this year. Already the ear
lier varieties are blushing a rosy red
Mr. Bagley said, and the first ship
ments will be made about June 1st.
This will he the Early Greensborough,
a very good early peach, and these
will he followed in rapjd succession
by the Hileys, the Georgia Belles
and Elbertas, the shipplngseason last

Its name indicates, are ready for ship

From the 200,000 bearing trees
I11 the Bagley-Ray orchard at least
one hundred carloads peaches will
be shipped north, Mr. Bagley thinks,
as last year with a short crop his
company shipped more than fifty car
loads from Amerlcus. The fruit is
absolutely perfect this time, Mr. Bag-
ley says, as not a peach showing a
Haw or a worm hole has he found in
the big orchard after careful Inspec
tion. Already the small army of crate
workers have come here for the sea
son, and the packing house of the
Bagley-Ray Orchard Co. will soon
present a scene of greatest activity.

The “Sumter Regulars,” who for
three months have been In camp out
on the new Leslie road near the Coun

for a new base of operations. About
fifty ichras with full tenting equip

transferred down the Leslie road.
This fine highway is completed out
as far as Pleasant Grove church, eight
miles east of Amerlcus, and the im

“MY .MARYLAND” AS A SONG OF
• PEACE.
The lack of unity and the absence
of leaders. Those are the crying
.faults of Amerlcus at this time.
As usual, Sumter county will come
up with' full crops this year. It takes
something more than Halley's comet
to unsettle orops hereabouts.

The country has been treated to re
vised versions of “America’’ and
“Dixie.” Now It Is furnished with
a remodeling of the famous “Mary

position of the spirit of war-time has
always been associated with armed

old version and of the new are given.
It Is claimed the now “My Maryland"

SAILOR DROWNED DURING
HEAVY STORM YESTERDAY
An Interesting visitor In America:
today Is Mr. Morris B. Dudley, of
Hilltop, Nevada) who Is making
stay of a day or two here before go
ing to North Georgia to look over
the gold fields ot the region about
Dahlonega. He will write an Inter

friends In Amerlcus, among them
members of the Dudley family here,
although there Is no direct relation,
ship between them. ,
He Is one of the five men who lo
cated the camp of Goldfield, Nev., and
tho story of the vicissitudes of this
young man's life from his wage- earn
ing Job as a telegraph operator ua-
tlL he became an extensive mine owner
Is most interesting.
Mr. Dudley comes hero direct from
his first job, and It Is a pleas
ure to hear him discourse upon tho
wonders of tho newly discovered gold
fields , of Hilltop.
For several years Mr. Dudley has
followed the fortunes of the gold
hunter, and now, in the first flush of
his early manhood, ho finds himself a
prosperous and prominent factor la
the mining inftrests of tho famous
Hilltop and Philadelphia Western
group of mines.
Mr. Dudley comes of an illustrious
ancestry, being a direct descendant
of John Dudley, duke of Northum
berland, who was beheaded for trea
son, and Robert, earl of Leicester, who
was a favorite of Queen Elizabeth.
Several Dudleys came to America in
early years, one of whom became the
governor of .Massachusetts after Rob
ert Wlnthrop.
Another branch settled In Virginia
and it was from this family that tho
Kentucky Dudleys descended.
