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 FRUIT IS PERFECT AND DIG YIELD IS ASSURED 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 ing about s4k vveeks. The Georg'a Belles, the real queen of peaches as Its name indicates, are ready for ship ment June 20th, while the • Elbertas, next In favor, ripen July 1st to 15tb. 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. John D. Rockefeller would go broke If lie should spend his entire income trying to prepare a better medicine than Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy for diarrhoea, dysentery or bowel complaints. It is simply Impossible, and so says ev ery one that'has used it. Sold by all dealers. WILL SHIFT TO LESLIE ROAD E0R A MONTH. Zebra Gang Carried There This Morning. The “Sumter Regulars,” who for three months have been In camp out on the new Leslie road near the Coun cil plantation, will strike tents today for a new base of operations. About fifty ichras with full tenting equip ment, mules and wagons, will thus be 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 provement will now be extended to Leslie.

This work finished, and Amerlcus and Les lie will connect upon a fino road. From Leslie on to DeSoto and Cobb there is a fine road already to the eastern limits of the county. When the six mile stretch to Lesl e Is finished the convict forces will work out the bad roads from Huntington to Amerlcus, via tho Broadfleld and Brady farms as far as Gatewood, distance of four or five miles. At Gatewood tho road to Amerlcus Is al ready finished. A portion of tho convict force Is still at work on the road north from Amerl cus toward Schley county. Already this task is nearly com pleted, and the seven and a half miles from Amerlcus to the line of Sumter and Schley will lio finished up within a week. The Schley forces have nearly finished their “good road” work from Ellaville to the meeting point on tho county line. The completion of this work will give another fine county road from Amerlcus to Ellaville. fall. “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 New York World has inter viewed a man who had been away from that city for seventy-seven years. This is a base imitation ot Savannah newspaper methods. 'Senator Taliaferro aeems to have won out In Florida. Taliaferro has ■not distinguished himself In the Sen ate. hut probably neither of bis oppo nents would have done so, either. The Country Club needs members to maintain It Don't overtook that fact. It can be made an exceedingly attractive and enjoyable place if the people who desire healthful and in nocent recreation take hold of It with the right spirit. The country has been treated to re vised versions of “America’’ and “Dixie.” Now It Is furnished with a remodeling of the famous “Mary land, My Maryland.’ That noted com position of the spirit of war-time has always been associated with armed invasion of the soil, with heroic re sistance, with' camp, and inarch and battlefield. The revised version, which may or may not he destined to In a measure supplant the old, is d'e tlnctlvely n hymn of peace. The words of the song have been rewritten by Jolin-T. YVhlte, tho verses have been stripped or their martial tone nnd Sectional sentiment. A s.anza of tbe old version and of the new are given. It Is claimed the now “My Maryland" now expresses the patriotism of all sections of the country. Tho school children of Baltimore county are now rehearsing “My Maryland." which, of course, retains Its orig’nal music. The chorus of children will sing the peaceful words at the music festival May 27th next. , . Tbe old: Thou wilt not cower In the dust, Maryland, my Maryland. Thy gleaming sword shall never rust, Maryland, my Maryland. Thy sons shall battle with the just. And soon repel the traitor three*. For In their strength our state will trust. Maryland, my Maryland. The new: YVe dedicate our song to thee, Maryland, my Maryland. The home of light and liberty, ■Maryland, my Maryland. We love thy streams and wooded hills, Thy mountains with their gurgling rills, Thy scenes our heart with rapture thrills, Maryland, my Maryland. Just as a guess, we predict an early demise for the new version. It Is too TALKS OF GOLD FIELDS WHILE IN AMERICUS. Former Georgian a Visitor Here Today.

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 esting story for publication Sunday in the Atlanta papers, giving hla views of that gold-ribbed section. Mr. Dudley has made a number of 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. Steamer Caron hi Brings News of IIcnTy Storm nt Sen. (Special to Tlmes-Recorder.)
