The- bodv of the negro. Simon Adams,
who was lynched north of Columbus Sat

of parties t-eorehed for it Saturday, but
in the absence of any discovery the theo

The farmers of Fulton county will hold
a mass meeting July 14. nt the Court
House, to take ptoos for the* organiza
tion of a local cotton Planters’ Association
which is to be affiliated with the Georgia
Cotton Plan;ers’ Association. The Geor
gia. Cotton Planters’ Association was or
ganized at Macon a month ago. for the
purpose of assisting cotton producers in
marketing their crops to better advantage.
Hon. C. H Jordan is president.
The unusual size of the wheat crop in
Georgia this year is well indicated by the
ftlrft that the Columbus flour mills are buy
,lnjr much more Georgia wheat this year
than usual. Mr. Geo. Pearce, president of
:the City Mills Company, of that pi <•<*,
said that they had just bought a loi of
rb’fe wheat from Melina. Go . and that ih - v
just received a splendid' specimen of
wjieat raised at Fort Valley. A party
there had a carload to sell. The Colum

ked.for this wheat.
A new cotton mil! for Calhoun seems to
be'an assured fact. A large amount of

scribed and Chairman W. R. Rankin is
of £he opinion that the mass meeting

thr? Pc-ma'indor of the amount
needed will be subscribed. Calhoun is an
ideal location for a cotton factory, the
county furnishing the best grade of lint
found anywhere in the South, and every
thing is favoraole toward making this in

MaJon News: Kentucky is not iiv it
with Georgia eyhen it comes to growing
wheat. Now that the crop is being har
vested and threshed out the Georgia far
mer Is able to estimate Just what the
profit will be. Mr Jere Willis of Walden
has the record thus far. He has harvested
from eight acres of land 26644 bushels of
wheat, which is worth $290 cash. This es
timate does not Include the price of the
straw which will probably bring at least
$73. calculating upon one and a half-tons
to the acre at 30 cents per hundred pounds.
This would make the total price of the
wheat $272. The average farmer makes
about a loir of cotton to the acre, which
at 7 Mms a pound would bring from the
eight acres just $l4O (expenses not deduct
ed). Just about half what the wheat will
bring.
Speaking of Docrun, a town situated
about fifteen miles north of Moultrie, the
Colquitt County Courier says: “Last No

people. Now it is the terminus of the
Georgia Northern'Railroad and has a pop
ulation of 2.M0 people, twenty-four mer
cantile establishments, two livery stables,
two hotels, and a dozen or more boarding
houses, besides a very promising pros
pect of a bank. It also lias promise of a
railroad from Albany, which is being rap

In all probability the session of the Sta’.e

June 19. will be exceedingly*short. The

added to the cigar business in Tampa,
and as a result, it is increasing in all
sections of the city. One New York firm
during last week received a shipment of
seventy-one cases, the largest ever sent
one house in one week from Tampa. This
was over a quarter of a million cigars,
and to be accurate, there were 355,000
cigars, as cigars are averaged by flic
case. New York city received shipments
to the total number of 197 cases, whieh
is against 186 shipped there for 4he wrok

MEETING OF THE DAIRYMEN.
Important Session \\ ill Re Held lit
Griffin Till* Pail.
Sparta. Ga.. June 12.—The seventh an
nual meeting of the Georgia. Dairymen's
Association has been set for Oct. 31 and
Nov. 1. The meeting will be held this
year at Griffin. Ga., where the associa
tion was organized in 1894.
Secretary M. L. Duggan will be very
busy in a day or two now sending out
notices of this meeting to the members
over fhe state. I was said that last
year's meeting at Grantville was “the
greatest dairy meeting ever held in the
South," but in several features this will
be the largest and most important meet
ing yet held by the association. The sec
retary baa n recent letter from Gov.
Hoard of Wisconsin, promising definitely
to attend this meeting, and he is also
arranging to have other dairymen of na
tional and international reputation lo be
on hand and take part in the discussions
of Southern dairy problems.
There will in all probability be much
the largest and linest display of Georgia
dairy products ever shown in the state,
or in any Southern state. Stimulated
and encouraged by this association, there
have since its organization sprung up In
many places in the state creameries and
cheese factories that are doing, a pros
perous and encouraging business. Nota
ble among these are those at Harmony
Grove. Griffin. Jefferson and other points.
Others are being built with good pros
pects of success. Two on the line of the
Georgia Railroad have just been complet
ed and began operations on Monday. June
11, one at Sparta, Ga.. and one at Thom
son, Ga.. while tw-o others on this same
line of road will be built this summer,
one at Greensboro nnd one at Woodville.
The work that has been done by the
Georgia Dairymen's Association has here,
tofore been principally pioneer work, and
is Just now beginning to show.
Every dairyman and stock raiser in
Georgia should hasten to identify him
self wjth this association. Any white
dairyman or stock raiser in Georgia is
eligible to membership on the payment to
the secretary the annual membership fee
of sl. which also entitles him to ail of
the privileges and benefits of member
ship. Applications should be sent to Mr.
M. L. Duggan, secretary. Sparta. Ga., at
least two months before the annual
meeting. The railroads of Georgia have
Hided the association very greatly by fur
nishing each year to its members through
the secretary free transportation to its
annual meetings. While this has been
liberal, indeed, on the part of the roads,
it will doubtless yield them good returns
in the end. for it is resulting In the build
ing up of anew and Important industry
in the sta-e that will add materially to
her already varied resources.

From the New A'ork AVor'.d.
The Tsung LI Yemen Is a comparatively
new department of the Chinese govern
ment. called Into exisience to meet chang
ed conditions consequent upon growing in
tercourse with foreign nations.
Among the six hoards or departments
which previously conducted the affair*
of the Chinese government there wis no
portfolio of foreign affairs, the nearest
approach to it being the colonial office,
called Li Kan Yuen. All mailer relating to
foreign affairs had been referred to the
latter, and all western nations represented
by embassies were entered upon its books
as tributaries.
But when these embassies came prac

tercourse on equal terms theTsung Li A'a

lution of the colonial office.
It was in IS6I, un-Ur the presidency of
Prince Kung, that the Tsung
Li Yamen was born. It was
then composed of three minis
ters. but It is now made up of members
named by the government—Chinamen of
the highest rank, each of whom has num

and an army of clerks who are not en
titled to promotion— and 4he viceroys of

In this department promotion is more

W. A. COt HTEX \Y, LL. D.
Made n Doctor of Lntv* by the Uni*
varsity of !Nnlville.
From the News and Courier.
The University of Nashville, at its re
cent commencement, conferred the hon
orary degree <1 f Doctor of Laws upon the
Hon. Wm. Ashmead Courtenay of South
Carolina. The terms in which this dis
tinction was announced by the chancellor
added to its value. He said that the in
stitution honored itself in recognizing the
long service of Mr. Courtenay as “philan
thropist, patriot and patron of, letters.”
The professor of the university, who
communicates the notion of t*he board of
trustees to Mr. Courtenay suggests the
unanimity and enthusiasm whk*h attended
and still attends the conferring of this
honor when he writes: “The college, indi
vidually and collectively, sends greetings
along with wishes that many years
abounding in life’s best prosperity, shall
be your portion.”
Capt. Courtenay is to be congratulated
on his flection among the “immortals.”
Many who admire him have been in
straits whether to all him ’Captain” or
“Mayor.” in familiar salutation. Now
their trouble will have nn easy relief. They
may greet him now’ as Dr. Courtenay.
FADS ABOIT FUNERALS.
Queer AVf*lie* of Ilia- Dying a* to
How They Shall Be- Buried.
From the I/yndon Express.
A recent telegram from New A'ork
states that Mrs. George Norton, a
wealthy resident of Pawling, was buried
sitting in the very self-same armchair
in which, as an invalid, she spent the last
three years of her life. This curious form
of interment was directed by her jwill,
and the detailed instructions were faith
fully carried out. The body and chair
were inclosed In e huge ease and the
grave containing them was wnlled in
with brick and surmounted by a heavy
marble slab.
Not long ago there died in a North
London suburb e lady who wished lo be
burled in the bedstead in which she had
lain continuously for nearly a quarter of
a century prior to her decease; and to in
sure, as she thought, her wishes-'being
respected, she left a plump contingent
legacy *o a relative. As the bedstead
in question, however, was of the old
“four-post" variety, and an unusually
massive specimen ot that, the cemetery
authorities objected. Eventually a ram',
promise was effected. The bedstead was
taken to pieces, and from the timber so
obtained a sort of box coffin was con
structed for the reception of the re-'
mitiis.
It is, however, among the mining popu
lation (hat instance* of funeral eccen
tricity ore most common. Jack Hustler,
a cool hewer of Tong, near Leeds, who
died the other day at the age of 67. was
buried in a coffin constructed to his own
specification twenty years ogo. It was
made of pitch pine, with silver handles,
and the lid was hinged at one end. The
deceased was hurled with o lump of coal,
which he hod carefully preserved for
years. It served as hts pillow, and his
tohaeco and pipe also found u place be
side him. This hitter custom is said to
be very prevalent among the coal miners.
The lin miners of Cornwall almost in
variahh Include an umbrella among the
coffin “furniture.'’
It would be Interesting to learn the
origin and significance of this strange us-.
Some years ago on old and wealthy
Derbyshire farmer expressed a wish to
be embalmed, the body, after being so
treated, to be sunk in one of tire lime-
Impregnated subterranean springs so com
mon in the Peak district. The old chap's
last wishes were faithfully carried out.
and. after three years, the corpse was
found to be completely incased in a fila
mentary shroud of pure white limestone.
For some time i remained on show, but
eventually the authorities Interfered, and
the gastiy relic was interred in the or
dinary way.
Brooches, rings, medallion portraits, and
other similar articles, mostly valued for
old association's sake, are constantly be
ing consigned <o the grave, even among
the poorer classes of the community. In
deed, In o large East-end cemetery, not
long ago. a body was burled with a large
sum—several hundred pountlp—in Bank
of England notes, the valuable roll be.

gentlemanly census agent, “I am sorry
to say that the law will not permit me
to register you as being 20 years of ag,
instead of 38, a* you request."
"But," said the lady, "what is the dif

If the cotton market continues as dull
as it has been for the last few’ days, the
members of the Cotton Exchange will
soon be chasing off for the summer. With
the dull summer ahead and the good fall
behind them, many of the members will
doubtless find it easy to visit the Paris
Exposition.
The naval stores people are also com
plaining of dullness, and with good rea
son. 0
It is the dullness in the midst of the
busy season which makes receipts diffi
cult to dispose of and requires explana
tions to customers. Judging by appear
ances only, the factors are beginning to
think that the buyers must have a com
bination and that they do not intend buy
ing freely until they can get spirits at
their own prices.
Owing to the existing conditions the
spirits market wen' off another half cent
yesterday. Rosins also dropped 5c on all
grades, but this was due. to willingness
on the part of the factors to close out
their stocks at the prices offered.
The decided advances of wheat and corn

New A'ork, June 12. —Although a lively
trade transpired in the July and August
options, th" cotton market as a whole did
not exhibit special animation to-day. A
predominance of bearish influences affect
ed sentiment indifferently and a consider
able portion of the business done repre
sented settlement of old accounts, rather
than the opening of new ones. Disap
pointment in the Liverpool cables led to
a decline of 1 to 6 points on the opening
and soon after there was a further slight
fall under bearish weather toivices from
pretty much the entire belt. The market
failed to allow special weakness on the
down turn, however, and by the close of
the first hour prices were close to the
final figures of yesterday, with covering a
conspicuous feature. During the rest of
the forenoon there was little change in
the situation, speculatively or otherwise.
Conservative parties were mystified by
an apparent indecision on the part of in
fluential Southern interests, which sold
on the opening decline, but bought hast
ily when the market rallied. Shortly af
ter midday the market met with a set
back In the shape of an encouraging
weekly review of crop and weather condi
tions by. the bureau at Washington, the
latter hading to a spurt of general sell
ing, under which prices eased off several
points. The irregularity was brief, how
ever. as prices again rallied on flurjies
of covering.
The market closed quiet and steady,
with prices net unchanged to 4 points
lower.

COTTON LETTERS.
New-’ York. June 12.—Hubbard Bros. &
Cos. say: Foreign advices were about what
the trade expected, though the opening
showed the pressure of some fu r ther liqu.-
daiion in the summer deliveries. After
the exciting market and shaip fluctuations
of the past few days the trading has fal
len to smaller proportions, with the in
terest passing into the new crop deliv
eries.
Manchester is fueling the effect of the
disturbance in the Eastern markets for
cotton goods®. It is difficult to reconcile the
small exports of cotton goods from Great
Britain with the reports received here
early in the spring regarding the magnifi
cent business doing in Manchester.
Crop accounts are in the main favorable,
but the local trade are. disposed o wait
for further developments. Their general
disposition is to buy on breaks until they
consider the crop prospects to le more
favorable.
New York. June 12.—Murphy & Cos. say:
Cotton in Liverpool declined, l-lt)d. on
spots, middling uplands. 4 15-16d; siles.
6,000 bales. Futures opened 2-64<l lower and
clrsei l-16d below yesterday. The decline
is attributed to financial weakness In
Alexandria, Egypt and political situation
in China. This market opened 2 to 7
points lower, but recovered the decline on
some shorts covering. The tone is dull but
steady. Weather conditions ore favorable
ap a rule, but Atlanta. Ga.. wires:
tinual rains doing some damage.” The
market will be a choppy one until more
is known regarding the new crop.
DRY GOOD*
New York. June 12.—Home demand con
tinues quiet in all departments of the dry
goods market, and absolutely no new fea
tures in evidence in either staple or fancy
lines. Print cloths inactive. No change in
Fall River. Offers of regulars outside at
3c fail to elicit orders.
NAVAL STORES.
The regulation daily drop of li cent in
spirits was.repeated yesterday. The mar
ket price is now 44 cents, a drop of 0 cents
since the beginning of the month. The
drop yesterday, however, was simply an
indicotion of the, weakness of the market.
On account of the declining market and
the anticipation of still lower prices on
the part of buyers the factors find them
selves unable to dispose erf their holdings
from day to day.
Shipments are being freely applied to
contracts, but owing to the disinclination
of the buyers to absorb the offerings at
present prices this practice affords no re
lief. Receipts yesterday were 2,421 and ex
ports 10.
Rosins—By accepting an offer of 5 cents
below the opening quotations the factors
were enabled yesterday to dispose of oil
rosins which they had on hand to one firm.
The factors disposed of several hundred
barrels rosin in this manner. The market
is firm at the lower quotations. Receipts
were 4.415 and sales reported, 2.967. Tht

STOCKS AND BONDS.
New York. June 12.—The small contin
gent of professional room traders, .whose
operations made up to-day’s stock market,
found difficulty in causing any movement
of prices. The prevailing dullness was a
characteristic of all the securities mar
kets of the world. Speculation waits on
the developments in Chine, and in ;he
money markets in Berlin and Paris. The
firmer tone in London end Paris on 'early
reports of a British success in the Trans
vaal, caused prices to open higher here, j
but they quickly declined on realizing, j
and on short sales by the room traders,
induced by the renewed strength in v.’keat
on the. continued drougth in the North
west. The outlook for the crops was n
dominating influence in the market all
day. The rally in the Grangers and some
Pacifies reached a point or over, but ♦he
rise was not well maintained, and the
closing was semi-stagnant and unsteady
at concessions. The prospect of gold ex
ports on Thursday was a depressing in
fluence in the market. No actual arrange
ments for shipments have been com
pleted. but exchange bankers generally
admit that a profit is possible on the op
eration. Sterling exchange held firm to
day in spite of a decline in London dis
count rates.
The French demand for gold is attribut
ed to the active need for money in circu
lation. incident to the .exposition. But
the policy of the Bank of France in re
ducing its note issue, and in contracting
its loans, is in conflict with this view,
and indicates rather n desire to fortify
the position of that institution.
London advices report uneasiness in the
stock market there, lest a crisis shall de
velop in France after the exposition is
ended. ThD helps to account for the
persistent dullness of the European se
curities’ markets. The policy of contract
tkm, which is being followed by the gov
ernment banks of England. France and
Germany, is in strong contrast to that fol
lowed In this country. Two weeks ago
loanis of New York banks rose to a figure
above any previous record, and last Sat
urday’s loan item was $12,988,790 in excess
of the previous high record on July S, 1899.
The aggregate of the loans of national
banks of the United Stares, under the call
of April 26. was also shown to be larger
than ever before. The calmness of the
money market in spite of this large vol
ume of credits outstanding, and an unu
sually low proportion of cash reserves, is
testimony to the soundness of. ond confi
dence in the financial situation in this
country.
