Peaches Grown Among Pine Tree*. Brunswick's Coming Gaests. Growth of La Grange—Florida's Health Olßcer May Resign—Two Boys Drowned—Political Gossip. Mr. Jacob Phinizy, in reply to a petition from the citizens of Augusta, has consent ed to make the race for Mayor of that city. A Rale to the Acre. Carnesvtlle Advance: Paul Vandiver has the brag cotton patch of this place. He has six acres that average knee high. He planted for a bale to the acre, and his chances are now good for that much or more. Pulaski's Farmers. The farmers of Pulaski county are call ed to meet at the Court House on Friday. June 22. In Hawkinsville, for the purpose of organizing a Cotton Growers’ Protective Association for Pulaski county. This movement to secure Just and fair prices for cotton and a better system of market ing the crop Is perhaps the most import ant etep yet taken In the interest of the farmers. Seventh Day Adventists. Alpharetta Free Press: The Seventh Day Adventists will hold their annual caipp meeting at Norcross, beginning Aug. 13 and continuing ten days. Adventists from all over the country will be In at tendance, and the meeting promises to be a successful one. The local Adventists are already making arrangements to at tend. A Good AVheat Crop. Alpharetta Free Press: The wheat crop Is good in this section, and several binders have been purchased in our midst this sea son. It is thought by some that within a radius of one mile from Crabapple there will be harvested at the lowest estimate 2,500 bushels of wheat this year, against shout 1.800 bushels last year. There Is within said limit 170 inhabitanis, and that tneane nearly fifteen bushels for each per son. Moonshine Brandy. Atlanta Constitution: The deputy mar. shals connected with the revenue service are unusaliy busy now as a result of the big peach crop In Georgia. Until this statement is analyzed, it will sound queer, but peaches make brandy, and the wily moonshiner does not live by corn alone. A brandy still is no more difficult to im provise than a corn still, and in many sec tions where the peach crop is most abun dant. the topography of the country is fa vorable to the security of the distiller who is 'not in the trust’’ that pays Uncle Sam 11.10 per gallon as a tax on its product. Brunswick’s Guests. Brunswick Times: It is more than prob able that Gov. Candler will bp a guest of the fair during this month. Mr. C. W.

During the present year the Unity Colton Mills will be built, and the erection of this large manufacturing Plant will add fully 1.500 to the present population, giving the city a total of 7,500 people. Apple and Pear Trees Dying. Tattnall Journal: In our Jaunts over the country we notice that nearly all of the apples and pear trees are dying, and un less something can be done to check the blight that has attacked them, apples and pears will soon be a fruit of the past in Tattnall county. Last Monday we drove down to Claxton, and on the road we noilced several fine apple trees that havs been Infected since frul'lng, and, though they were full of half-grown ap ples looked as If they would be entirely dead before the fruit matured. Hirdly an orchard in Tattnall has escaped the In fection, and wherever the blight appears it does Us work quickly and completely. The cause should be discovered and a remedy applied. Peaches Among Pine Trees. Moultrie Observer: Two years ago Mr. Dukes put out six acres In peac'h trees among the living pines. People would cpme by bis orchard and tell him that his trees would never live among the pines. Mr. Dukes Is original, if anything, and he advanced the theory that the pines would protect his fruit trees from the scorching sun In summer and the severity of the winter's blast. It was left for time to tell the story—Mr. Dukes being the originator of this new scheme of having a peach orchard right out in the piney woods This year these 2-year- old trees are laden with some of the largest and most luscious peaches that ever grew on a tree. Now j who mo years ago, attempted to | Mr. Dukes about hi? new ideas of W’ 11 1 growing are going to follow In his c path and do likewise n Is said that not * c * n b ® fo >ind among the pines, while further up, where the timber has Been removed, some, of the trees have died, while others do not took nearly so well. • FLORIDA.

Folk I* for Jennings. LakeUnd Run: Polk county's delegation win go to tha convention next week un- Usatructad, but from what wo can learn, about half of them will support Jennings on the first ballot, and in our opinion if the vote shows belter chances for the Judge it is quite likely that the remaitfter of the delegation will go to him. We hope so. Gem City Guards. The Gem City Guards were inspected Friday night at their armory in Palatka by Adjt. Gen. Houstoun and MaJ. Brad shaw.

Gainesville Sun: Miss Madge Ice of Pa latka. one of the most efficient teachers in the state, has been assigned to the State Norma! in this city, and arrived yester day. Miss Ice has for several terms been assistant to the prlnciual in the Palatka High School, and it is safe to say will ren der an excellent service in the duty to which she has been assigned.

Richard H. Fries, who read law In the office of the late Judge Richard L. Camp bell, at Tensacola, back in the seventies, tells a story never heretofore published. In 1576 Judge Campbell represented George F. Drew in the memorable contest, where in Mr. Drew mandamused the state can vassing board to compel them to recount the vote for Governor. So successful was Judge Campbell that Senator Matt Car penter, who represented the. Republican side, said that Judge Campbell was the ablest logician he had ever met. It will he remembered that Judge Campbell won the case, and that iMr. Drew was seated as Governor. Asa fee for winning the case. Gov. Drew, after It was all over, sent Judge Campbell a barrel of molasses. Two Desolate Homes. Jacksonville Times-Union and Citizen: Where happiness reigned tn the homes of Col. S. C. Boyl?ston an 1 G-'orge W. Stewart yesterday, all Is sadness, and in each household lies the lnamtnate form of the youngest member of the family, cold in death.

HOGS A.AD POLITICS. Negroes Advised to Raise the For mer and Let the Latter Alone. Augusta. June 18.—Prof. R. R. Wright, president of the Georgia State Industrial College, has quit politics. The announce ment of his withdrawal from politics will likely cause surprise among his political friends. In a public address in this city to-night, at Tabernacle Baptist Church. Prof. Wright, among other things, said: "I see from the newspapers that an ef fort is being made to organize a national negro party. I am frank to say that I am opposed to such an organization. The colored people ere beginning to lose faith tn all political parties, and their affiliation in political affairs is becoming yearly less and less pronounced. They do not seem to feel that their success depends upon the success of any party, and I am satisfied that they will not Join a national negro party. If they did. 1 do not see what good It would do. Indeed, after nearly twenty years of observation, study and some par ticipation in public affairs. I am satisfied that the colored race, as a whole, has not been benefited by politics to a degree com mensurate with the energy, time and money spent in the fascinating game. The colored man has learned the worst phase of political life without being benefited by its best. While I do not say that the THE JOYS OF VIGOROUS MANHOOD. Antoondlar Sucre** of I>r.

Ga. negro should abstain wholly from partic ipation in voting and office-holding, and am very much opposed to the movement to disfranchise the negro and curtail his privileges as a citizen, I feel that it is doubtful whether the negro has reached that slage of moral and educational pro gress where he will hold a fair, honest and Intelligent convention or exercise his rights at the box without being very largely influenced by prejudice or whim. Perhaps should he for a time voluntarily relinquish his attempt to participate In the political minagement of affairs there cojld be brought about a better state of feeling between the races. I believe that such a venture would be worth more to the col ored people than all they could get out of politics for the next, twenty years. What we want is a peaceful and harmonious re lation between the two races, and. for my part, I am willing to do anything that any honorable man could do to bring about this happy consummation. The white and black people must understand each other. They must live in peace. As yoke-fe.lows, they must develop this great Southland. Let the colored people, who are the weak er people, therefore, for the time being, yield all they can to bring about this happy condition. “ ‘No. no; I cannot feel that politics has dene, or will do, for us all that we desire. Is it not true that our young men are being steadily corrupted by the low politi cal Ideas that prevail? Is it not true, that the craze for office is drawing away from other pursuits of greater profit, the young men who ought to be the life of the race? Of hundreds of our best educated young men, who have given time and talent to the political arena, what ones have ac complished anything of nole for the race or the country? The truth Is but the truth, and, if we are able to know and willing to acknowledge the truth, the truth shall make us free. I know not what may be your thoughts and feelings at this time. but. as for myself, I have decided to cease active participation in po litical affairs, and devote my energies to the development of ray people along edu cational and industrial lines. I am con vinced that, if half the energy spent by our best talent in political agitation, or in discussing how to 6top lynchings, were spent lr> teaching people how to raise hogs, chickens and corn, how to live in the most comfortable and profitable way. and in educating our children In indus trial end business pursuits, we should find it easier to settle the race problem than it now appears. I adopt what has already been happily phrased as tne chief objects for which every intelligent color ed person should labor. First, to create the best sentiment between the races; sec ond. to encourage both industrial and higher education: third, to promote busi ness enterprises among our people; fourth, to Inaugurate and promote plans for the moral elevation of all the people."

THE DEMAND GOOD AX'D CON DITIONS VERA' SATISFACTORY. Several Vessels Have Arrived to Take Away Cargoes of Spirits and Rosin—Reports From the Cotton Fields Are Thnt Excessive Rains Are General and Mach Damage Is Bring Done—Scarcity of Labor Is Complained of—Spurt In July-Au gust Wheat That Aroused Local Interest. The naval stoves market continues firm and active, with a good demand for both spirits and rosin. Factors find no diffi culty in disposing of their stocks at the prices quoted, and the situation generally is very satisfactory. There is every indi cation that the present demand will keep up for some time to come. The presence In port of five barks and one tank steam ship, all of which will take cargoes of naval stores to foreign ports, gives strength to this belief. While it Is doubt less the case that the cargoes for theee vessels, have already been purchased, their removal will make room for the purchase of fresh supplies. The receipts from now on will be close ly watched with a view to determining whether the crop is seriously affected by the reported scarcity of labor. Reporte continue to be received from all sections of the cotton belt, of excessive rains, delaying the growth of the already late crop, besides interfering with. Its cul tivation and stimulating the growth of grass There le also a general complaint of scarcity of labor. Reports received yesterday from several different sections of the state, were all to the effect that for the most part, the plant le small, with a poor stand, and suffering from too much rain. General comment is that the statistical position of cotton is very strong. With only about one-half the visibly supply of cotton that existed a year ago. and the unfavorable crop conditions. It is be lieved that a strong demand will be felt during the summer. The outlook Is that the amount of cotton carried over to the crop will be much smaller than for a num ber of years past. The big spurt in wheat yesterday aroused some local interest, though the number of thcae directly Interested financially, seemed to be small. The effect was Im mediately felt In stiffening the prices of flour. COTTON. The members of the Cotton Exchange found the weather an interesting topic yesterday.

June 18.-S'-or s came in for severe punishment cn the Cotton Ex change tc-day, but the full faction was In no humor to follow up their advantage, owing to the presence of weak cables frem Liverpool and be rish political news from the Far East. A decline of 4@6V4 points was note! in the English market st he time -f our op ning and a goovly number of foreign sell i g orders were known to exist. It was very evident that the Engl sh marke. had been de press.d by the sensationa Chn se re-* pons and that the trade abroad consid er and the crop as a minor factor lor the tirfie being. T e local tr de, however, while slig.i-tly influenced by the break at L verpcol and the p 1 ti al news sub.e quer.tiy became decidedly bullish on re p rts that high tem, era ure was caus ing great damage to he plant in Texan, that continued rainfall In the centr 1 belt was placing the crop seriously in thj grass and weeds, while in the Atlantic states he crop was doing poorly in many districts. A fo;ecast for showers io mod erate rains to-night and to-morrow, where dry weather was needed, and for clear conditkns, where mcisiure was es sentia!. ser\ed to in ensify the bullish un dercurrent of sentiment later in the day. Shor s were ex remely nerv us and cov ered spasmodically, pa ticularly over sales of present crop options. The pub ic was intimidated by China war talk and the irr gularity in Liverpool and commission trading at most and and not reach impor ant proportions. In the late session prices advanced to a level several points above Saturday's closing on pe si -rent covering. The market closed steady, 3@5 points net higher.

Hubbard Bros. & Cos. say: The markets on either side of the Atlantic ore working at cross purposes. In Liverpool the trou bles in China were regarded as being of the most serious character. Manchester merchants w r ere especially nervous over the situation and sold out their holdings of cotton which they had against sales of goods In China. A sharp decline fol . lowing this pressure led to a lower open ing here on the summer positions. Many orders have been in the market for some time past to buy new crops on the basis of 884c 1 for December and January. This demand checked the decline and the show ery weather in the districts east of the Mississippi river led to a rally which car ried the market above the closing quota tions of Saturday. The local temper is to disregard the Chinese question and all the poor trade accounts which are com ing to hand from Manchester and New England, but to pay especial attention to the probability of damage from rainy weather tn June. New York. June IS.—Murphy & Cos. say: "Cotton in Liverpool l-16d lower on spo s. middlings, 5 l-32d; sales. 8,000. Futures declined sto 6-64d, before this market opened (11 a. m.l on Mondays TANARUS: e de cline being attributed to the gloomy po litical outlook in China, caused this mar ket to open 8 to 13 points lower for ell crop deliveries, whilst new crop ru ed only 1 to 3 points lower, owing to demand to cover sales because of unfavorable ' rep reports from lowland districts of Missis sippi. Alabama and Tenqessee. Crop re ported very grassy and suffering from too much rain. The strength of new crops, despite the decline in Liverpool, caused a firmer feeling here and less de sire to sell and we look for higher prices to-morrow.” DRY' GOODS. New York, June 18.—The market shows no material change to-day in any depart ment. Fancy prints are in moderate de mand for fall, but other cotton goods slow and demand freely met at previous prices. Print cloths inactive throughout. Woolen goods division dull for both men's wear and dress fabrics. Prices irregular. stores. Spirits turpentine remained firm yester day at 43*4c, at which price there were sales of 1,575 barrels reported, and prob ably 400 to 500 more after the closing. The demand is satisfactory and a good business is expected during the week. The status of the rosin market Is equal ly satisfactory.

STOCKS AND BONDS. New York, June IS.—The stock market digested a large volume of liquidation to day at what seems slight expense of val ues. considering the appearance of ex treme weakness manifested by the market at times. This result was due to the fact that prices were lifted In the early deal ings to a level somewhat above Saturday’s close, and that there was a substantial rally in the late dealings of covering by the professional bears, who had taken advantage of the softness of the market io put out extensive short lines. But the weakness of the market was none the Iqss evident. The buying demand through out the day came largely from the short interest, and from Inside interests with the purpose of supporting prices in their own stocks. Preparations for this had been made on an elaborate scale in ex pectation of acute depression on foreign exchanges as a result of Saturday's de velopments in the Chinese complications, but the weakness on foreign mnrkets waa not os extreme as had been feared, part ly, owing to the fact that the first alarm ing rumors of the destruction of the for eign legations In Pekin, and the death of the German minister, were somewhat discredited this morning in speculative circles. Prices of American stocks ad vanced in London before the opening bare, and London bought stocks of some com panies at the opening, while selling others. This attitude of London gave color to re cent reports that some of the principal bear operators of the New York Exchange, now abroad, have been operating on the short side of the market. They were taking to-day's opportunity to cover, as their conferees did from their side. The character of the buying was sufficiently manifest from the dullness into which the market quickly sank, when tt rose to or above Saturday’s closing level. Notwith standing the sharp losses of Saturday, the only buying demand of any considerable volume came into the market when price* were below that level. The bear traders were active during the day, seeking to uncover stop loss orders, and they had considerable success all through the rail road list, in which the extreme decline* at one time averaged from l to 184 for tha principal active stocks. Minneapolis and St. Louis fell abruptly nine points, with a final rally of 284, Canada Southern. Chicago Terminal preferred, Hocking Val ley preferred and Denver and Rio Grande preferred lost from 2 to 284, Northwestern preferred, 2%, and Lackawanna 48J. The final rally lessened all these losses, and entirely wiped out some of the smaller ones. The steel stocks were decidedly irregular. National Steel declining 284, and Pressed Steel Car, American Hoop. Ten nessee Coal and Republic Steel preferred about 2 points each. On the other hand. Federal Steel, Steel and Wire and Col orado Fuel were rather firm. The final tone of the market was stea/fc-, and the majority of the exchanges were small. Announcement of $2,200,000 gold exports to Germany was not without ita effect on the weakness of the market, the more so as considerable further en gagements are looked for later in the week by the French steamer. The sub-treasury has contributed neariy $2,000,000 to the banks since Friday, and New York Exchange at Chicago roe* further to 30 cents premium. But the gov ernment’s call for deposits to the amount of $5,000,000, must be met by the banks by next week, and the period for the return flow of currency to the Interior, to move the crops, is approaching. The results. In the money market are subjects of incraa*- ing surmise. The bond market was dull by compari son with stocks, and losses were not so pronounced. Total sales, par value. sl.- 600,000.
