Swalnsboro Wlregrasa Blade: This of fice Is Infested with no less than 100,- 000.000.00C.000,000 flies, and double that num ber of gnats, and there Is no dogs here, either—that Is, very often—once in awhile one stops in awhile. Creamery at Sparta. The creamery opened up at Sparta last week. It received 600 pounds of milk the flrat day. made thirty pounds of rich but ter and sold It all right In Sparta, and oauld have sold more If they had had it. This shows what such enterprises can do from tho start. Will Be Ileappolnted. It Is said that Capt. C. T. Furlow of the treasury department, will be reap pointed by the treasurer-elect, R. E. Park of Macon. In fact, it seems that there has been an understanding to that effect. Mr. Furlow has been connected for a long while with the treasury de partment as assistant' treasurer, and is regarded aa one of the most capable men fn ohe mate for the position. An Ex-!*opuf!flt. Bulloch Herald: There Is talk of offer ing Col. F. H, Saffold of Swalnsboro, the Democratic nomination for the Legisla ture. He recently washed hla hands of the Populist party by declining their nom ination for attorney general of the state, and If fee was now nominated by the Democrats It would do a great deal to wards blotting out Populism in Emanuel county. Terr County Wanted. Tlfton Gazette: Anew county, ten or fifteen miles square, with Tlfton as the •enter, would be one of the wealthiest and most prosperous In the state, out •Me those embracing the large cities. Its citizen* could attend to their legal busi ness without Inconvenience or loss of time, and the people of other sections pf the county would not have to pay a •hare of the expenses of the litigation pf this district. Marietta Chautnuqea. Everything la now In readiness for the Marietta Chautauqua. The tent has a seating capacity of 2,600 people, and it Is hoped by the management to have it filled oaoh day. Already the visitors are arriv ing and many others are speaking In ad vance for board. Wednesday, July 4, is expected to be a big day. Gen. John B. Gordon will deliver his lecture, "The Last Days of the Confederacy,” and deliver crosses of honor to Confederate veterans, which will make this day of special Inter est to all Confederate veterans. Taming tlie Babies. Washington Reporter: ‘'Burwell Green.” “Lucy Simpson,” "Motto Smith,” "Sallie Sanders,” "Ben Irvin,” "Julia Weems,” •'Sam Brooks,” "Cornelia Pope," “George Lyndon,” “Mary Cooper" and other well known names have been given some, of the Wilkes county babies In the past two weeks. It happened in this way: One of the census enumerators, as he went his rounds, would come across infants from a week to a month old, with no name. Some name had to appear to his Hat, so he named them as he came across them, as above, according to the sex. Thus It will be seen that a good name, like kind words, can never die. Question of Cltlsenslilp. Vienna Progress: Prof. G. W. Smith Is having a hard time proving his citlzen ehip. He has been elected county school commissioner of Houston, but he has been teaching In Dooly, and made the mistake of voting In the ITnadllla town election, which gave his opponent a plea that Prof. Smith was a citizen of Dooly and not of Houston. Smith has evidence from Bibb county that polltax has been charged arainst him up there for every year since he taught there in 1894. Dooly Is also holding pooltax against him, but he olatms that he was a citizen of Houston all the while, and paid polltax there. He was elected by the Houston school hoard three to one, his opponent appealing the case to the Slate School Commissioner. Prof. Smith has moved back <o Hous ton, and will become eligible within six months, and will probably be elected anew If he cannot oust his opponent before. Dniunice From Heavy Rains. Th heaviest rain that has been seen •round Senoia In a long: time fell last Monday afternoon. For an hour and half the rain came down In blinding tor rents In a very few- minutes after the rain began the ditches at the sides of the ■treat* were overflow- in* like rivers. Bnough rain had fallen there already to retard the progress of farm work ami the growth of crops, and rhe flood w-hich came on Monday, has done positive dam age not only to growing orops, but to grain, which has been cut and left In •hocks in the field. News has just reach there from Rawls’ mill, a few miles south of town, that, as a result of Monday’s rain, the mill dam was broken and such • deluge of water turned loose that the bottom lands below were overflowed and much damage done. Mr. Otto Hutchinson, • successful farmer, whose oat field was In the path of the overflow, had 500 shocks of oats washed away. The c*Us were grown on rich bottom land ond were very heavy. Each of the 500 shocks w-ould hove yielded a bushel. They were wash ed completely away, and the lO6S is to tal. FLORIDA. The southbound freight train on the Florida Central and Peninsular Railroad was derailed at Orange avenue, about a mile south of Ocala, Wednesday morning, •nd five freight cars roWed over the bank or piled across the track, including Iho tender. The engineer, by promptly open ing his throttle, pulled away from the tender and escaped. Animonln Tnnk Exploded.

Doudney, president of the Sanford Ice Company, and Tracey Lewis, chief engin eer. had a narrow- escape. All vegetation whdeh the ammonia reached close, to the factory was covered with frost.

NEW SMELTING WORKS. Profitable Enterprise In llenrt nr (■old Section. Gainesville, Ga.. June 23—The Colorado and Georgia Smelting Company has hrok en ground for their smelting plant and the railroad will put in' sidings at once so that the work of erecting the smeller can pro ceed without delay. This smelting enter prise will be one of a most substantial un dertaking In a large mineral section where an abundance of gold ore exists that may be termed properly pay ore, while at some distance In several other sections high grade ore can be, and to some extent, has already been secured. The advanced price for treasury sto-k of this company Is sufficient proof that ready Investors have recognized that this smelter will be an excellent paying enler prise. Slay of Execution. Beaufort.

CORBIN’S PLACE IN THE ARMY. WILL TOT SUCCEED GET. MILES OT LATTER'S RETIREMENT. Stephen Crane as a Correspondent. The Gennlne and Bo*ns Belle Boyd—Some Incidents In the Ca reer. of the Latter—Fort Polnskl and Itn Cost—Ollier Matters of Gen eral Interest. Pine Crest Villa, Maitland. Fla., June 23—The suggestion that Maj. Gen. H. C. Corbin will succeed Lieut. Gen. Nelson .A. Miles, on his retirement, as the ranking officer, is not w'ell founded. Gen. Cor bin is a staff officer and will succeed nobody, being now at tho head of his staff department. When the Confederate States army was organized, President Davis set aside the staff rank of Brig. Gen. Joseph E. John ston, who had been quartermaster gen eral of the United States army and gave ranking commissions to Cols. Lee and Cooper, the latter being made the rank ing full general and adjutant general of the Confederate army. Staff rank often shows valor in the field, but more frequently long and faith ful service at the department headquar ters. Brig. Gen. Adolphus W. Greeley of the signal service, for example, would hardly be considered worth mentioning in connection with the brigadier generals commanding troops in the field. While all the newspaper men write in a kindly spirit of commendation of the late Stephen Crane, some of them seem to underrate his merits as a war corre spondent. During the Spanish-American War I saw much of this gifted young journalist and.learned to value his excel lent traits of character very highly. He was brave, unselfish and laborious, not always regarding his own feeble healch when the comfort of others less favor ably situated was at stake. What he lacked in brilliancy as a war correspond ent be more than made up in his unsel fish devotion to the “Old Flag," and the brave men who were defending It on for eign soil. A brave, suffering spirit, he is now f at rest, and only kind words and sympathetic tears* will embalm his mem ory and keep his record fresh in the hearts that loved him. It is a gratifying fact that while one inharmonious voice was raised against “the darned Yankees” at the Louisville (Ky.) Confederate reunion. a gal lant Confederate soldier. Col. Har ry Weissinger of that city was way down among the Maine “Yanks” delivering memorial addresses for th° Grand Army posts at Belfast and Sears port and making patriotic speeches at other places, notably Portland. Me.’, where he had a great ovation paid him. The Searsport post passed some very en thusiastic resolutions of thanks <o Col. Weissinger, and predicted a rich liar vest of fraternity and good will between the veteran soldiers of the North and the veteran soldiers of the South on ac count of his visit. The amrouncernent of the death of Belle Boyd was very brief and failed to men tion that she was the genuine and not the bogus Belle Boyd. 1 knew the genuine Belle in her early days of prosperity, and popularity, before adversity and other] misfortunes had clouded her eventful ca- ] reer. The bogus Belle appeared on the carpet Fome twenty yearn ago, as u lee- s 1 ! ; i 'Jr In • itk ' Sft ' M /-fn mk •fM, : .7 VI and ' "T™ ' ' v ■ ; •/ r\f l r,., : C 1 v It ■ $ . : W,UOW\ -<.'V Vj] MJJJV * CINQuE • FOIL MAPLC .

Ht. Clair Abrams, then an Atlanta editor, Into a refuge of safety, at the point of her revolver. Not long after I had occasion io expose her, as a base fraud, and she tried to use her revolver on me, but I made short work of her. Still, by such tactics, she managed to keep in the lecture field for several yearn before ehe disappeared from public view. The genuine Belle Boyd was at one time a very high-spirited woman, hut not notorious like her bogus namesake. As old age and misfortunes came ‘upon her, she lost much of her former bold and dar ing spirit of nd venture, nnd became le<* an boject of “Hero Worship,” because of her thrilling adventures as a Confederate apv. When It is remembered that Oeorße Washington, called the “Father of His Country," died holding the rank of lieu tenant general, and that Winded Scott, after a life time service in defense of that country, died h iding only the brevet rank of lleutem nt general, the recent- promo t'on of Nelson A. Milos to be lieutenant general s em- to smack somewhat of a suspltdrus crmhlnatlon. Then the rase of Adjutant Gtn>ral Corbin appears to have been in the same eomblnatlrn. Old I-oren zo Thomas served from 1823, when he graduated from West Point, until after the Civil War, and .vet ns adjutant general during that critical period he was re warded simply with the rank of hr g idt.r general and brevet major general. Per haps the senators who figured In these recent suspicious promotions might be able to explain what Influence the prlvl lege of appointing a son, or other rela tive or friend to a life position In the army, via West Point Military Academy, had over their votes to make possible these promotions, so unjust to more mer itorious officers Uninterested people view the whole transaction as a questionable affair that reflects no credit upon the par ties to II on either s'de. The dedication on May 25, this year, of a granite monument on the battlefl-ld ot Antietam. where he fell. In honor of Maj Gen. Joseph K. F. Mansfield, United Stales army, was a most Impressive cere mony In which the citizens of Middletown, Conn., his old home, took an active part] The Savannah people of fifty years ego knew this ellstlngnlshtxl officer ve-y well, for his martial llgure was a familiar one on Ihe streets of Ihe Forest City from 1810 to 1846, when he became chief engin eer of Ma.l. Gen. Zachary Taylor's armv In the NR-xlcan War. Ex-Gov. Coffin of Connecticut, In his dedicatory address, thus refers to Gen. Mansfield's work 1n Savannah: “He was for some twenty years engaged as engineer In bulldlns for tifications. mainly along the Atlantic coast, and was englncer ln-chlcf In bu'ld- ing Fort Pulaski, at Savannah, Ga-a defensive work which at that time was considered one of the best eve/ construct ed—a model of its kind. But he wearied of the dull and quiet work of construciin? fortifications and longed for active ser vice in the field. The opening of the Mex ican War brought the opportunity he de sired, and he went with Gen. Taylor to the scene or coming hostilities.” Gen. Mansfield was assigned to this long term of important engineering because he had graduated from West Point Military Academy in 1822, the second cadet in a class of forty members. And it is a remarkable fact that* the head of the class—Cadet George Dutton—who died in 1857 —and Cadet Charles G. Smith, who was third—who died while on duty at Fort Moultrie, in Charleston harbor, in Is 27 were also from Connecticut. Gen. Mans field supervised the Savannah river im provements, the works in Charleston har bor, repairs on the sea wall at St. Au gustine, inland navigation between St. Marys and St. Johns rivers and improve ments of Brunswick harbor.. Thus early’ was he an important factor in river, har bor and coast defenses of the three states of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, but the greatest of all his works was Fort Pulaski. Gen. Mansfield’s son, Col. Sam uel M. Mansfield, U. S. A., is in charge of the harbor improvements of Boston, Mass., while a member of the famous Carter court-martial in Savannah, a year or more ago, lie visited old Fort Pulaski and viewed with interest the superior work of his father a half century ago. My old friend. Gen. William T. Sherman, in 1882, gave me the following official items in regard to Fort Pulaski, whith may prove of interest in this connection. The work of construction was begun in 1829 and is not yet finished. The last ap propriation for construction purposes was made in 1858, but since the Civil War there have been various appropriations by Congress for repairing damages and for desired modern improvements in the forr. Originally, it was a pentagonal work, with two tiers of guns; one in casemate, and one en barbette. The gorge (bastioned) was covered by an earthen demi- une. The fort was designed to mount fifty-one guns and four flank howitzers in casemate, and fifty-three guns en barbette of main work. Up to 1882 tho government had spent on this fort $1,135,359.00. Long after the Antietam monument shall have fallen into decay under the cor roding touch of time, this grim old fort, guarding the beautiful and ancient city of Savannah, will stand as an enduring mo;i ument to the early genius and the heroism of one of the noblest Christian gentlemen and accomplished soldiers ever graduated from West Point Military* A' ad emy.* He was one of my dearest friends in peace and war, and I therefore suggest that in naming her new squares Savannah could not do better than embalm his mem ory in a “Mansfield Squan His long years of valuable and faithful service on iier river and coast entitled him to some such recogn : tion at her hands*.

Thoee who keep their eyes open when in the fields and woods will not infre quently find growths resembling magic, fruits, appearing in many cases to be the natural product of the tree or bush or weed on which they are found. Look into a cedar tree and behold on the tw'igs artichokes are suspended; the oak is bearing liny apples as well aft acorns; the cinque foil has become a rival to the strawberry, while on the tips of the cordate willow minute pineapples ore flourishing. These mimic fruits are known as galls, and the magician that produces then? is the cynips, a family of wasplike in sects that lay their eggs In the leaves, stems or buds of vegetation. The sting of the insect causes the vegetable tissue to enlarge so as to form a home for the larva and give them sustenance while at taining their growth. The sting of any particular cynips al ways produces tho same kind of gall, and os many as thirty different kinds may sometimes be found on a single oak trea DROPSY FROM COFFEE.

Wheat continued upward, and showed material gains over the closing on yester day. July wheat gained 474 cents, clos ing at 83 cents. It is reported the price later went to 89. The factors behind the market continue to be the strong Liver pool advices and the damage to the crop by drought in the Northwest.

New York, June 23.—Hubbard Bros. & Cos. say: Another exciting session based on the covering of the outside short inter est on the rains east of the Mississippi, especially in the Mississippi va ley. Euro pean advices were disappointing in their tenor, showing the influence of the east ern question tin the Manchester market. Our market opened steedy a thade lower than the close, but rushed up quickly cn the receipt of the weather map. showing rains. Tnis buying v.as apparently large ly covering previous sales with the long interest taking profits and this proving just be fere the close causal a sharp reac tion. We are having a weather market with wild fluctuaions depending entirely upon the probabil tks of further rains. Should tbs w'ealher become favorable the market is without the support of a short interest. On the oiher hand, if rains con tinue the trr.de may he attracted to buy for a further advance. As this conditl n is not a question of judgment but of Jain or no rain, the probabilities are it will be wa chfd closely. (New York.

This was about as expected and our market opened unchanged t) 2 down, but on wild buying to cover sales imme diately af-er ihe call, ow'.ng to the ra ns over the belt, the market advanced about $2 points.

The maiket has inen very active and er ratic during the session and unless cl* ar_ ing weather is in evidence before the op< n ing Monday, we expect sensational ad vance in new crop options.

SPIRITS TURPENTINE— I Tho market for turpentine opened firm to-day at 42 cents, with the indications for an improve ment before the closing. This improve ment came by an advance of 74 cvnt the closing call, the price being marked up on sales of 324 casks at this price. Continued reports of unfavorable weather from the naval stores territory* doubtless had its effect in sirengthening the market. It seems probable that work is to be greatly interfered with before the present rough weather breaks. The effect is being felt by a falling off in the receipts. A con siderable lessening in the receipts is look ed for as a result of the rains. The trans actions to-day were 332 casks at the open ing at 42 cents, and 324 at the closing at 42’ 2 cents. ROSINS—There was no cQiange to-day in the rosin market, which closed firm. The demand is fairly good, and the transac tions for the day satisfactory considering the fact Ihe early closing rule was. ob served. The opening sales of 850 barrels constituted the day’s business.

Session of the Exchange Feverish and Exciting. New York. June 23.—The Saturday short session of the Stock Exchange was a fe verish and exciting one, under the domi nation of much the same influences as for some days past. The holiday in London left he New York sock market without its accustomed guide to the speculative sentiment of the outside world, with the u ,; ual result that professional ro m trad ers were,at sea for a t me after the open ing. The srntifrent observable for some time pas among the professionals, that the market w s oversold and was due for a rally, was in evidence at t opening and was re 11 forced by s me obvious nervoua ne-s on the part of shorts. The latter ele menr covered fre*iy in Northern Pacific, and ’there was a firm tendency in Ruga*, the t 11; k lin- s ard Reading first preferr ed. winch served as points of resistance to weakness. But the continued demorali /.ation in Brooklyn Rapid Transit upaet the confidence of the bull element, and stocks be?an o come on the market in large volume before the end of the first hour. Northern Pacific was curried down over a point from the high 1 vcl after the op r.ing Extreme weakne s did not be come general the trunk lines holding comparatively* firm, and shorts covered in anticipation o* the bank statement. JPhe excited advance in wheat here was an influence in the break in srocks. The market had become quiet and steady wh‘n th * bank statement appeared and gave a shock to sentiment by thf* large d'cT-os shown in cash reserves. Esti mates based on the official rep rts of snb treasury operations and statements of the movement of ctirr n: y by* express to and from the interior furnished by the hank* themselves had foreshadowed a gain ir cash by the banks, after allowing for tha gcH exported during the week of a mil -1 on dollars or over. Wall street is mys t fiel as to the source of the drain which has depleted the cash resources of tho clearing house institutions to the extent cf $3 3CB 800. The ciily* p’ausible explanation which suggest; - , itself is that the decrease repre sents some provision made by the banks to meet the requirement for the wi h drawal of <'.<oo,ooo cf government deposits called for Monday. The demand for time* money* during the week indicated some oxpansi n of or-.fits. The -iiift'ng of loan* au. c 'd in this wa* may have had more to do than has h-nn suspected with the weakness in he stock market. The late break in the market on tho bank statement carried some prominent railroad anc* industrial stocks from 1 to 2 points Ix-dow last night’s level. National SteM lost 3; Northwestern. 2fi. and Brook lyn ! ransit. 4 \ Except for a few ralli* on covering by room shorts the market closed weak.
