Only OnO'Tlilrd of a Crop In Gfiorgla—A Yiljff I.o*i. The Georgia watermelon will not be as much in evidence as usual this year. The assistant general passenger agent of tho Southern Railway, has received from agents throughout tho melon belt reports indicating that tho ... , fts» loads, and it is given out that this Bi"* W ‘ U Dot « ceed *•<** ' riliH " ir ' , * nR a l'*» of about S300,000 in *•«'«„„« to the railroads and about the aarne aroont to the melon growera. Tim shortage in the peach crop is even greater. Presiden Cunningham, of the Georgia Horticultural associa- tion and a largo fruit grower,estimates the peach crop of the state at 20 per cent of an average. The peach crop is usually worth to the railroad about $00,000, but the greater part of this revenue will he lost this year. The loss to the railroads and the growers of fruit and melons will be about $800,000 on account of short crops. five Tho melon business years ago amounted to 8,000 carloads from tho state. Nearly every farmer in South Georgia grow melons for tho market and the acreage ran up to very large proportions. It was soon found that the supply exceeded the demand in some markets while it fell short in others. The perishable nature of tho crop made it, impossible to protect the shipper when tho fruit reaches a city where tho market was glutted. To meet this difficulty a melon growers association was organized, and for one sonson most of the melons grown in tho state were marketed through that agency. This helped tho growers, but it broke the agency. Finally a system was devised by which telegrams reporting the price and siij )~ ply in each of the principal markets were posted nt tho railway stations from which melons were shipped. This aided greatly in distributing shipments, and reduced to a minimum the tendency to overstock certain mar¬ kets. Nevertheless, when the crop was large, or the weather cool, prices wore low nnd unsatisfactory. This tended to check tho increase of the melon crop, and the rascality of an irre¬ sponsible class of commission men who managed to secure consignments caused the growers to lose heavily. While there were many good commis¬ sion houses in tho business, there were unfortunately a great many who took advantage of the perishable nature of the fruit to squeeze tho shipper. AlUhesn influences combined have curtailed the crop during the past few hinds <0 h^iliont* al,ont 1 fi*000*^Tliis ,,>0 J l,i8 y, v'.^r ftr ^le t,ie small yield has cut this down to 2,000 about, olio-fourth tho number formerly raised in Georgia. It is probable that the small crop in the state vvill increase the price, for almost the whole marketable melon crop comes from Georgia.

THE PETITION WITHDRAWN. Macon’* Agalnat the Railroad! Will Now Go To tho Court*. Tho Macon petition against railroad consolidation in Georgia has been withdrawn by the attorneys who filed it with Governor Atkinson. The question involved was such a large one thnt the governor was look¬ ing into it thoroughly, and he had an¬ nounced that he would give a decision at an early day. In making his investi- - proceeded Ration Governor Atkinson just as he would had he been consider- int£ a petition of auv other character. ‘ i i ir i - .i • |, u . . from the attorneys who represented the Macon petitioners and also heard what the railroads had to say on their side of the case. 1 here was no formal bearing or argument, however, but in- formal talks. It is thought around the capitol that the governor was not disposed to direct the attorney general to institute such a sweeping suit ngainst the roads as wns contemplated by tho petition- ers, but was more inclined to let the investigation proceed, if at all, ngainst only one road. This would have in- volved less indirect material results, lmt the principle would have been tho same in the end. That is, if it were shown that the Southern held one rnilroad in violation of the constitu¬ tion, it would probably have followed that it held others, but if it ilid not control tho Central or the Georgia .Southern and Florida or some other one road illegally, it probably held none in the state unconstitutionally.

In dressing the carcass of an ele- phant the rough outer skin is first re- moved in large sheets. Beneath this is a sub-cuticle—a pliable membrane, from which the natives make water¬ skins. The rib bones are cut out stewed, but all the other bones are de¬ stroyed. The most delicate part, very ly, is the first joint of the leg below the knee, which one would suppose he the toughest portion of the animal.

Mrs. Pinkham's Explanation of tho Unusual Number of Deaths anti Prostrations Among Women. The great neat plague of August, 1896, was not without its . yjW. lesson.

You cannot do better than to commence a course of this grand medicine. By the neglect of first symptoms you will see by the following letter what terrible suffering came to Mrs. Craig, and how she was cured : “ I have taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com¬ pound and think it is the best medicine for women in the world. I was so weak and nervous that I thought / I could not live from one day to the next. 1 had pro- F a P sus uteri and leucorrhrea and thought I was go- ing into consumption. 1 would get so faint I thought Y I would die.
