Prospects at this stage of the game point to a fine corn crop in Sumter coun ty. The recent rains have greatly bene fited Ihe young corn, and if seasons con tinue favorable a bounteous yie.d is prom ised. The acreage is about the same as last year, when the crop was cut off by drought in July. This year the farmers •re hopeful of more favorable seasons and • belter yield. Death of Thomas Bay. Mr. Thomas Raj’, a prominent citizen of Dooly county, residing near Cordele. died Sunday morning after a brief illness. Mr. Ray was widely known throughout Southwest Georgia, and had relatives and friends in Americus. He was a man of strict Integrity and held In high regaid among all. During the hours of the fu neral services Monday business in Cor dele was suspended as a mark of respect to a good citizen. They Loved the Same Girl. On last Sunday evening O'Neal church, four miles east of Hampton, was the scene of a difficulty between two negroes, Prince Jones and Joe Kempson, as the result of which Joe Kempson was shot twice, once near the heart, the other ball entering the back of his neck, from which he died Monday morning.

Macon News: The Ocmulgee river rose several feet yesterday afternoon and evening and became so violent and angry that it looked as if it would wash away the temporary bridge at the Fifth street crossing In order to be on the safe side Mayor Smith ordered the bridge to be closed for the night. The water Degan to reoede at an early hour thin morning, however, and the bridge is open to the public to-day. While it has rot been out of Us banks here, it Is believed that con siderable damage has been done to tha crops both above and below Macon. The bridge will not be closed again unless the river rises more, but the bridgekeeper will be Instructed to watch it very close ly and act speedily on the first appear ance of danger. Georgia’! Health Good. Surgeon T. B. Perry of ihe United States Marine hospital service, who was, ■t the request of Governor Candler, de tailed for special duty in the state in con nection with the prevention of the spread of smallpox In certain localities where the disease was prevalent, says: “The sani tary condition of Georgia is excellent, and will compare favorably with that of any atate In the Union. The eruptive disease ■with which the physicians had to contend have almost, if not entirely disappeared since the improved measures for com bating these diseases were brought to baas in the smaller towns and in country districts. Many of the small municipali ties were without boards of health and seemingly unable to meet the emergency. Organization of such boards was effected after some difficulty; they were Instruc ted as to the proper procedures for pre venting the spread of these contagious diseases, special attention being given to methods of disinfection of person and premises, and the results of their labors are gratifying In the extreme." A Unique Case. A unique charge has been made against one of the new Inmates of the state sani tarium at Milledgeville, W. C. Hannah, of Polk county, who recentjy shot and dangerously wounded E. J O'Brien near Cave Spring, Ga. The claim Is made by the counsel secured to aid in the prose cution of W. C. Hannah that immediate ly after O'Brien had been shot Hannah's son swore out a lunacy writ, had his fa ther arraigned before the ordinary of Polk county and parked off to the asylum for crazy before the friends of O'Brien knew what was being done. A warrant charg ing Hannah with assault with Intent to murder was sworn out practically at the same time, but when the came to serve the warrant they found that Han nah had been disposed of otherwise. An effort is now being made by the counsel for the prosecution to get Hann h nut of the sanitarium for trial in Polk county for assault with Intent to murder. Dr. Powell, the head of the sanitarium, he been notified of the facts in the case and be will proceed at once to make a, careful examination of Hannah. This will require at least ninety days and if at the end of that time it is found that Hannah is rea ly insane he will he kept at the sanitari um. If he is not insane and his attitude has been feigned, he will be returned to stand trial on the charge ol assault with Intent to kill. FLORIDA. Mr W. H Powel, representative of the C. B.

A A Florida Man's Patent. S. J. Ford, city ticket agent of the Flor ida East Coast Railway at Jacksonville, has secured a paient on a bicycle carry all dray, which he invented some time ago. He is now at work on an attach ment in which a granite iron pie-plate plays a prominent part. Mr. Ford has declined to tell the secrets, but it is said to be a model for a railway train with a bicycle attachment to run on the tracks Dnnnollnn's Fire Company. A fire company has been organized in Dunnellon, consisting of twenty-five mem bers. The officers are as follows: W. H. Stephens, chief; C. E. Hood, assistant chief; C. E.

Avery fine alarm fire bell has been ordered, and a movement is on foot for the erection of a tower for it. Velvet Bean Experiment. Mayo Free Press: Much has been said and written abcut the velvet bean, and experiments have b*=en made in other sc ions, the success of which indicates that the velvet bean will soon be one of the leading crops in this state. Mr. E. L. Cottrell of Old Town has twenty-nine acres planted in these, beans, and pro poses to test their value as feed for beef cattle. We have no doubt that he will find them so profitable that he wi 11 dou ble the acreage next year. A Rl Suit Filed. A suit for SIOO,OOO was filed in the office of the circuit clerk at Pensacola Mon day by Arthur Milliken against Martin H. Sullivan, the millionaire land owner and widely known as the “timber king of the South.’' Some time since Sullivan sold about 250,000 acres of land to Gen. R. A. Alger and associates, and ihe amount asked is alleged commissions on the sale. The land brought $8 an acre. The suit is one of the largest that has been filed there for a number of years. \\ a nebula's Orunge Crop. The orange crop tributary to Wauchula and which will be shipped from that point is estimated to exceed 60,000 boxes. Two large packing houses have been contracted for which, in addition to those already es tablished, will furnish proper facilities for handling the coming orange and grapefruit crop, which will be the heaviest in the his tory of this section. A stock company, composed of the business men of Wau chula, has been formed and will build at once a hotel and several cottages for rent. The company will also look after the san itary condition of the town, and already has a force of men at work on the sewer age. Having shown their faith in the fu ture of their town, and having the requi site enterprise, backed by ample means, Wauchula is coming to the front at a rate never before attained in its history. Many Out of Employment. The closed season for fishing throws a great many people out of employment on the bay at Tampa and all along the west coast, and it is a rather pathetic sight to see the fish camps all closed and the fishing smacks anchored near the shore, but the law is necessary for the protec tion of the fishing industry on this coast, and it is hoped that there will be no violation of the statute, and that if there is, the law will be strictly enforced. It is claimed by some that Judge Wall’s ruling, in which he held that the act of J 899 on the subject did not properly pass the House, leaves the gap down for a continuation of fishing through the sum mer, but it would be advisable for all those who are inclined that way to re member that an act nearly similar passed the Legislature in 1897. and that if the act of 1899 is unconstitutional it leaves in force the act of 1897. which provides for a closed season, also. Valdosta's Sesver Bonds. Valdosta. Ga . June 20.—The election on the question of issuing $25,000 more of bonds, to complete the sewerage system, was carried by a large majority.

The Chanffen Which Have Taken Place In Savannah's Shipping. Savannah, Ga., June 19, 1900.—-Editor Savannah Morning News: The national government have every reason to be sat isfied with the results that have come from the appropriations made for and expended upon the Savannah river and harbor, from the city to lhe ocean bar. Greater results may have been secured, as we see it to-day, from a more judi cious and far-seeing application cf these funds; but the results, as they confront us to-day, are a marvel In themselves. In 1874 “the usual high water draught of vessels to the city was abcut 14.5 feet.’’ In 1890 “a navigable channel 22 feet deep, at mean high tide, from the city to sea’’ had been secur and, and to-day we have a c ear depth of 26 feet, showing an increase obtained between 1874 and 1900 of 10.5 feet. When it was proposed, in 1820, to in crease the channel depth from 22 to 26 feet by an appropriation of $3.5(0,000. so enormous seemed this sum in comparison with the previous annual appropriations for the improvement of the river and har bor that rarely reached $3X1,001, it was thought advisable to appeal this matter to the various sections of the couniry that it was considered would profit In .he com mercial advantages of s'curing a 26 feet channel at Savannah ftom the ocean to city wharves. The appropriations prayed for were granted, and, as has just been stated, the desired depth was obtained. As an inducement for public support, it was held out that the deepening of the Savannah river and harbor wou and result in the lessening of ocean freights, both coastwise and fore gn, in which ihe whole country had a deep economical interest; but the advocates of this idea did not really know how much the already ac complished improvements of the Savannah river was th-n affecting the transporta tion of the Middle Northwestern States. A representative of the city of Savan nah visiting St. Joseph, Mo., was sur prised, in the midst of his plea to the peo ple of that city to support Savannah n her effort to obtain the necessary ap ro priation from Congress to secure a 26-feet channel, to learn that, at that time. PO per cent, of certain classes of goods sold In St. Joseph reached there through the port of Savannah. Yet when the represen tative of the city asked for a map of the United States, upon which to indicate the relative position of Savannah to the Mid dle and Northern Western states, h' was handed one that had seen active service, upon which the ports of Charlesron and Brunswick were conspicuously mark and; but the name of Savannah was not to be found. Like experiences were encounter ed at other points in the West. In evidence of the substantial benefits that have accrued to commerce by the im provement of our river and harbor, the tonnage of the port, which was 1,074. 67 tons in 1873, had grown ro 1,828,614 tors in 1890 and for ihe year 1899 is in excess of 2,800.000 tons. Up to 1888, of foreign vessels, one of 1,543 tons was the largest to clear from this port; in 1890 there was a clearance of a 2.656-ton vessel, and since then a vessel of 3,434 tons has been loaded at and cleared from the wharves of the city. In the coastwise trade the Kansas C ty of the Ocean Steamship Line is a 4,000 ship plying regularly between Savannah and New York. Foreign vessels of 1,600 tons and over cleared from this port between Jan. 1. ISBS, and Dec. 1, 1889. amounted to only 3. Steadily increasing from year to vtar there were cleared in 1893 twenty-four vessels and in 1897 fifty-two clearances of foreign vessels of 1,800 tons and over. For the first four months of 1900 clearances of this character have already reached twenty-four vessels. According to the records at the Custom House ,in 1885 the average tonnage of ail vessels (little and big) clearing at the port of Savannah was 680. In 1891 this average increased to 819 tons. In 1899 to 1,086 tons, and, for he first four months in 1900, the average is 1,208 tons. It is a well-known fact that as the tonnage of vessels is Increased the cost of transportation is reduced, which is one of the immediate and permanent ben efits to the commerce of the world guar anteed in the improvement of rivers and harbors. And in this same connection it is proper to say that while the tendency to Increase the tonnage of ves-els may reduce the number of vessels needed to retrove the commerce of .any port to for eign or coastwise points, in the end lower freight rates have been accomplished by the increased tonnage of a small r num ber of vesstds. Thus, while the tonnage of the port of Savannah is three-fol! what it was in 1871. the increase in ves sels has probably not exceeded twofold, the arrival and departure of foreign ami domestic crafts being placed at 1.423 for the year 1S!I9. It ts probably largely due to the heavy tonnage now- attracted to this port and the constantly increasing facilities for economically handling freight, that has enabled Savannah, in tho past nine nnd n half months, to close of business June 15 inst., to hold her own in cotton ve oelptf against the world. The receipts at .*ll tho ports of Ihe United States to date, show a falling off, as compared with the same period iti last cotton year, of 22.4 per roni . and there is no reason to believe that this loss can be possibly overcome between June 16 inst . and Sept. 1. next, close of cotton year. This heavy diminution in the general re ceipts shews very Irregultr at the vari ous ports, and in detail, ,e shown na fol lows in percentage of losses and gains: Losses Per. Cent.

Pori Arthur, nearly midway between New Orleans and Galveston, the deT wa ter terminus of the Kansas City, Pi-ts burg and Gulf Railway, received of the crop of 1898-99 to same date in 19,765 bales. Of the present year to date is credited with 68.029 bales, a gain of llfc) f>er cent. Port Arthur is destined to hold a comamnding position in Gulf receipts of cotton, and from its strategedc position and .railway support will rapidly mount # to it. | Baltimore's gain of 75 per cent. In re ceipts. it* comparison with last year, sim ply means that the conservative methods of the Maryland city are having their ef fect upon the cotton movement of the South, to the enrichment of that commu nity, whose well wishers in the tfojth would like to see her gain many times 75 per cent. It is quite possible that any further im provement in our river and harbor will be accomplished through the south channel, by which at comparatively light expense twenty-six to twenty-eight feet at mean low water can be obtain and and maintain ed seaward and cityward without jetties. All this marvelous development and these possibilities may not gain us a navy yard under the closed door p>l.cy in grafted upon the naval appropriation bill just enacted into a law; but even in 1898 the government reaped a rich return in the splendid service the po rt rendered in the Spanish war, for ihe moderate expen diturs so far made upon Savannah river, and justifies further expenditures for se curing a greater depth. If the competition were open for anew site for a navy yard Savannah would be ab!e to present figures and parade advan ages that would make her a formidable ompetitor for any South Atlantic port, and it is well, therefore, that the astute South Carolina senator blindfolded the Secretory of the Navy in the exercise of his plenary discretion. But though Savannah and other South Atlantic ports are legislated out of compe te ion for the successorship of Port Royal, the advantages that make for our com mercial elevation will not suffer by this discriminating legislation. The eyes of the world ere upon our great advantages as a port in depth of water, railway and terminal facilities, supplies of row material at our very doors, a per fect commercial system and an inexhaust ible supply of the purest water on the earth, for all purposes, and we have far more to expect from commercial growth than could oome to use from the location here of a first-class navy-yard, if it brought no more to us than Port Royal has reaped from its location there.

BIG JUMP IN COTTON FUTURES. MARKET CLOSES AT AN ADVANCE OF 16 TO 30 POINTS. Sliorta Frightened Enrly In the Ses sion hy Firm Liverpool Advices and Continued Reports of Rain Throughout the Cotton Belt. Wheat and Flour Advancing:. Spirits Turpentine Firm at 43 tent.—Rosins Firm and Unchang ed—Local and Telegraphic Mar kets. Morning: News Office, June 20.—The in terest in commercial circles to-day was centered in the advances in wheat and cotton, which closed at gain 9 far above the expectations of the most conservative traders. July wheat sold up to 81%c, a gain of 304 c above Tuesday’s closing. Cot ton caught the effect of a powerful bull movement after the midday trading, which carried prices skyward, the closing being steady at a gain of 16 to 30 points. The main factors behind the advance in cotton were the firm Liverpool advices, and continued reports of excessive wet weather in the cotton belt. After shorts took their firet fright, they went with a rush, and the most intense excitement prevailed on ’Change. The reports say the bull movement attracted the atten tion of influential interests, who became heavy buyers of cotton. Toward the closing the lessening of bull pressure led shorts to turn for a reaction to regain some of their losses. Conservative esti mates place the day’s transactions at a million bales. The more the effect of the drought is realized the higher the price of wheat goes. It seems to be generally understood that the crop in Michigan and the Da kotas is a practical failure, while in In diana and Illinois the yield is sure to be lessened. The jump in the futures mar ket at Chicago, during the past ten days, has been phenomenal, and the opinion ts expressed that further advances will be scored as the full effect of the drought becomes apparent. To-day's prices are reported to be the highest for wheat since the collapse of the Leiter deals. Transac tions were estimated at 30,000,000 bushels. The price of flour jumped in Savannah to day, patent being $4.75, straight 5t.25, fancy $4.00, and family $3.75. Nothing of particular interest developed in the naval stores market.

COTTON BOUNDS UPWARD! Bears Routed and Price* Close 16 to 30 Points Higher. New York, June 20.—1 t was a day of surprises on the Cotton Exchange. From an indifferent start at about last night's prices, pendulations gathered remarkable impetus in the late session and swung fully 47 points. Moreover, speculation, which was exceptionally tame and feature less on the first call, grew at an amazing rate with total transactions probably the largest ever recorded, something cWer 1.- 000,000 bales, according to conservative es timates. the bulk of. which cotton changed hands during th© last two hours of the session. The official rating of the opening was “quiet,” with prices unchanged to 2 points higher. Toward the close of the first hour firm cables from Liverpool and had crop advices from nearly every portion of the belt started local covering, which gradu- ally broadened until the South and Europe were also making good oversold accounts. The rise at midday, was a matter of 4 to 12 points, with no fpecial excitement no ticed up to that time, however. Nor <}id the market show violent change until af ter 1 o’clock and speculation continued within reasonable bounds. A forecast for continued wet weather throughout the belt and emphatically bullish late crop dis patches then infused new life into the bu'.l faction and gave shorts a bad scare. The latter rapidly grew into a wild rout in which New Orleans led. Prices forged ahead by great strides, et the best figures of the day, showing a net advance of 36 to 47 points on the active options. The bull movement attracted the attention of influential grain interests, whose purchases contributed greatly to the strong ruling of the market. Wall street, too, became a heavy buyer and the speculative public in general exhibited more interest than in months. All sorts of rumors were cir culated on the bulge, and shorts at times were completely demoralized by the sensa tional rise in prices. Conservative parties were quick to con clude that the advance had been too rapid to hold, and began selling for a reaction. Shorts noted the lessened bull pressure and turned for a break, in the hope of re gaining a portion of the ground lost. With a rush prices relapsed nearly 20 points, with the market finally steady in tone at a net rise for the day of 16 to 30 points. New York, June 20.—Cotton futures opened quiet and closed steady.

New York, June 20.—Murphy & Cos. say; Cotton in Liverpool unchanged on spots, middling, 5 l-22d; sales, 10,000 bales. Futures opened about 1 point lower on old and 1 higher on near crops, and cßsed 14 points under y.sterday on former, and 1 to 114 points above on latter. This mar k t has sharply advanced during the day, caused by Liverpool buying and covering by AVastern and Southern shorts. Weath er conditions are not at all satisfactory or promising for a large crop, and the market seems likely to improve further unless the weath=r h comes bftter shor ly ard remains good for some time to c me Pi ices now, 1:55 p m., are about 2 1 p inis above yesterday on this and 30 points on next crop deliveries. New York, June 20.—Hubbard Bros. & Cos. say: Weather predictions for show ers in the Southwestern States have been the controlling factors in the market to day, causing a sharp advance on shorts covering the distant positions. The sum mer deliveries have lagged behind in this movement showing these positions wpre in weaker hands and tha* the advance was on short covering. At the beginning the advance was slow, but as the govern ment predictions for to-morrow showed the possibility of continued showers the advance was rapid, reaching nearly 20 points on January. A decidedly higher market is expected in Liverpool to-mor row, as the interests there are supposed to be long of the nearby deliveries and short of the distant on the recent at tempt to manipulate the small stock in that market.

STOCKS AND BONDS. New York, June 20.—The market made some headway’ during the early part of the e ssian against depression, and an average level of prices materially above last night was established. Room traders were irclined to lake the long side for a turn, under the impression that the mar ket ha 1 b en overs 11 and a rally waa due. Bu' before the end 't the session larpe offerirgs of stock were thrown on the market, emhrac'ng all the principal groups of securities dealt in. Farlier gains we"e more than wiped out, the decline from the brat in the active railroad stocks running from 1 to 114. The net lostea w- re mostly fractional but some of the specialties show wide declines and the same is true of some cf the dormant socks which have not been dealt in dur ing the la e period of weakness. The chief ground of the early strength in the ma ket was the higher range of prices from abroad and the disposition of London to buy stocks here. It was "Vidcnt that a more cheerful view was taken in forei n querters of the situ ation and British consols hardened a shade, in spite of the stiffening of the London money market. The chief influ ence in turning the tide of sentiment to w rds the bear s'de was the acute weak ness developed in sugar and Brooklyn Rapi 1 Transit and in other specialties in sympathy. Tho bears at tacked the Brooklyn stocks with great confidence and encountered little oppesition in forcing the p’ice down cn accoun of ye-t. rday's Jud cial opinion against the legality cf ten-eent fares. After S'-liirg at 64 : - in the morning tha s oak was forced down to. 6944 in the late dealings. The drop in Sugar extended to ever 4 points and was without sp-clal ex planation. All of the gas stoeks were acutely depressed, the deellne extending to 1% in People's Gas. Other decline* were Cotton Oil preferred 5. The Tobacco t k , Gm ral El ctric and New York Air Brake, from IE to 4 These violent declines had a sympathetic effect on the whole list. Weakn ss in ihe railroads was aggravated by the renewal of crop dam age reports and not only the grain-car rying read o , bur the cotton roads aPo were affected by this cause. Some of the selling was said to be of stocks held by t ankers for collateral which had been held for some time past to give opportu n'ty to the customers of the firms con cerned to take up the sio ks. Them ney market hardened appreciably and the possibility of quick Inroads on ihe small surplus r> serves of the bank* ro , Ive ncreaslng ati n lon. To-day's en gagement of SI,KO,Oi)O of gold for sh|P m nt to France was about what w* expected and ster'irg or' ange e-d off m der the offerings of bills against tn* shipment. Discount rates hardened both in Lon don and Ber’in and sterling exchange fell a fraction in Paris, so that U is consider ed probable that the demand for god Is not yet satisfied and gold is expected ta go oui on Saturday.
