GOOD CHOPS IN si MTEH.
Despondency Felt Elsesrhere Does
Not Prevail There.
Americuff, via.. July 1 -Fruit shipments
from this city nnd section are holding up
well, despite the injury wrought by the
continued rains. Elbert* peaches sustain
ed less damage than any other, and the
orchards are laden with a magnificent
crop. Shipments will begin the latter part
of this week. Watermelons, cantaloupes
and grapes ore. abundant and frequent
eh4pm“nts are being made.
Despite the fact that cotton has been
injured to some extent, the prospect is
more promising alnce ihe rains ceased.
•nd unless a drought strikes the now sap
py plant, the yield will be great. Corn is
the finest in ten years, and many farmers
here will gather forty to fife, bushels per
acre. This crop is safely made already.
Americus will celebrate the Fourth of
July in a quiet way. There w ill be a gen
eral nuspension of business, with picnics
at the various resorts near the city.
A large part of the rolling stock built or
repaired ot the Georgia and Alabama
shops here has been lettered hoard Air
Line, and in time probably all the en
gines and cars of the system will undergo
this change. a vast deal of work is being
done tt the shops row.
Now that the task of ;aklng the ernsj?
has been completed, A meric us people, in
the absence of official information, are
making careful est mates upon the r< suit.
Asa conservative guess, they put the pop
illation of the city at 8,30). and that of
Bumter county at 35,0X1. These will not
vary much from actual figures.
Business and trade generally ore very
satisfactory—even better than at this flat*
last year—and With good crops a splen
did fall trade is assured.

THE BATTLESHIP OREGON.
When noil* and tlic (oat of llnll and
Machinery.
The probabilities are that the battleship
Oregon will prove to be a total loss.
Storms will likely come before she can
be got off the rocks.
The Oregon, saya the New York
Sun, is a first-class battleship, and
was ore cf ihe three rrovl.bd for by
the act of Copgrtss of June 30. 1890. She
was built by the I'nlcn Iron Works. In
San Francisco, and the designs, which
were made by Lewis Nixon, provided for
a ship of 10,288 ions displacement, with
a gross tonnage of 5,989 and a net tonnage
of 4,328. She is 348 feet in length on the
load water line 89 feet and 3 Inches In
extreme breadth, with a mean draught
cf 24 feet. She Is fitted w ith tw n screws
and triple-expanilon engines, wtvoh have
developed a maximum indicated horse
power of 11.111.
The Oregon when she was built was
more heavily armored than any other
ship In the navy except her sister shios
the Massachusetts and ti e lndisna She
carries on her sides a 1 elt cf Harveyizd
nickel steel. 18 inches thick. Her largest
guns are mounted In 15-Inch turrets and
she has four smaller turrets, two on each
■lde for 8-Inch guns. She has a pro'oeted
deck and she derives additional protec
tion about the water line from the em
ployment of 13,814 cubic feet of a prepara
tion of cocoa fibre, which will absorb
eight times Its weight In water.
The contract price of Ihe Oregon for hull
and machinery alone was $3.1*0,000. She
svas launched on Oct. 38. 1893. and her
complement was thtrty-two officers, .and
440 men, besides the marine guards. The
hull of the Oregon Is double. Ihe outer
•hell being three and a half feet from the
Inner shell, each being water light end a
complete ship's hull !n Itself. A series
of girders are riveted to the frames which

At the outbreak of the Spanish war
the Oregon was lying off San Francisco,
and her commander received orders to pro
ceed to Cuba to join the Atlantic squad
ron, under Admiral Sampson as speedily
ns possible. This trip was the most ta
mou* ever taker) by any American v ar
vessel, and the remarkable run of the
Oregon on that occasion was commented
on all over the civilised world and was a
tremendous advertisement for American
ship building interests.
The Oregon left San Francisco on March
13, nnd after stopping at several ports in
South America on the way for coal, ar
rived off the Florida coast at Utica J/ght
on the night of May 24. Her commander
reported to Washington ond orders came
back to proceed to Hampton Roads If In
need of repairs, otherwise to Key West.
There was no hesitation on the part of
Capt. Clark of the Oregon ns to which
course to take. He proceeded o Key
West at once, arriving there on the morn
ing of May 26. He afterward reported
that not more than $T> had to be spent on
repairs after this long run. The Ruasian
government ordered several vessel* built
on the Oregon’s plans.
Although the contract with her builders
< ailed for only a speed of 15 knot* an hour,
the Oregon attained n speed of 16.78 on her
trial trip, and It is eald had at times since
then done better than 17 knots.
IN REMINISCENT VEIN.
Decadence of Orn tor> —\\ lm t ( onati
tutc* FfTcctlvc Public Speaking.
E. P. Root in New' York Po.-t.
Some weeks ago I sat with my friead.
the lawyer, before th<* blazing logs on the
study heal th talking of orators and ora
tory. In the course of the conversation
I remarked that no such effects were new
produced tn popular assemble* as followed
the speeches of Brougham, Sheridan.
Fox, Clay, and Webster.
“As to that,” replied my legal friend,
“you are counfounding effect with < aug*.
The tremendous power of such addresses
as you have in mind really lies in the im
pressionable and high-wrought mood of
ihe hearer*. People commonly overlook
the fact lha, emotion* go with the sympa
thy and conviction* of an audience. Great
sentences in notable speeches rarely thrill
the, opposition benches.”
This remark set me thinking. And I
began to recall some incidents which,
with an exception or two, have never
been recorded In print; Incidents illu*-
trating various phases of our smoke-talk.
It was my privilege to hear Tom Reed’s
address to hi* Portland constituents jus<
after his fight against dilatory and fili
bustering tactics in Congress. City Hall
was filled with a most enthusiastic Reed
following, and when the great rolling
body, the bullet head, and twinkling eyes
appeared upon the piutform. uch a rear’
But with the first sentence deadly silence
ensued. The speaker described most
graphically the stages of the bottle, paid
his characteristic compliments to the de
mocracy. and then suddenly stopped n
full ten seconds. In a tone of infinite
Jesting, he began again: “And when we
cleared the decks for action ” But the
orator proceeded no further. The tre
mendous implication conveyed in that one
phrase raised pandemonium. There were
bowls, cheers, cries, hats and canes in
air. waving handkerchiefs, with bedlam
blocking utterance for a good five min
utes. And when quiet was restored, every
man looked at his neighbor as much as
to say: “What on earth set you off like
that?” It is hard to answer that ques
tion on psychological grounds. War. it
Tom Reed with his pat sentence, the emo
tional hysterics of 3.000 people, thought
vibration, or what? Daniel O’Connell
never provoked a more frenzied outburst.
Now it is possibly true—as some plead
—that there are no living orators of the
type mentioned. You do not find a giant
elcht fe*t in hight in forty parade? of
fine troops. Nature occasionally breaks
a mculd. And now and then cne discovers
that marvellous eloquence does not even
depend upon uumbr-r* for inspiration.
The statement may seem surprising, hut
I venture to affirm that the lat*' E. P.
Whipple, the essayist, whtr stir.ed to de
bate on a noble topic could be as thor
oughly eloquent before a handful of peo
p’e as many a famous orator, i shall
never forper a d* bate on the immortality
of the soul I cnce heard between Ingersoll
and Whipple. A few very well-known peo
pie. and some not known at all. were
brought together by merest chance at a
small summer hotel on the Massachu
setts coast. From the veranda we used
to watch the twilight merge slowly into
the glory of evening, and as the stars be
gan to glow Ingrraoll or Whipple would
start the discussion. Ingersoll usually
threw’ clown the gauntlet. Whipple inva
riably answered “Adsum” to the chal
lenge. Slight in stature, in appearance
the men of books, with glorious eyes that
burned or melted according to the mood.
Whipple showed a keen lance at the
breastplate of his antagonist—and often
pierced. On this particular evening the
question of the immortality of the soul
was argued brilliantly Whipple talked like
one Inspired, as Coleridge might have
talked, minus his drcnlng. The sparkle
of his wit was never ke ner. But Ingersoll
remaned obdurate in his determination
to concede no axiomatic truth of human
experience. Suddenly, with the voice and
mi n of a men cn fire with intellectual
but impersonal heat, Whlpnla sprang
frc m his chair, his eyes blazing like twin
s ars, and fairly shouted; “Thunder and
lightning. IngeiFoll! 1 can’t pound an idea
into your head!” The effect was Irresisti
bly comical. A roar of laughter followed
<n which the Colonel heartily jcinfd. The
contrast between Whipple’s old-fash'oned.
prim * daenes*of manner and his ur ’on
ver.llonal thiu.-t convulsed the company.
Now in the large view of oratory this
quality cm only bo predicted of him who
stirs the emotions of bis auditors Into
great billows of sentiment. Of clear-cut,
incisive debate there* is always a sufficien
cy in most deliberative bodies. But he
who strike* deep to the very heart of pub
lic feeling in a single impassioned sen
tence. of epigrammatic pungency, la rare
indeed. Take those memorable words from
the speech of Henry Gratian, where he
laments the downfall of the Irish Parlia
ment, “I stood by it* cradle; l followed
Its hearse!” Could anything be finer? But
imagine these words spoken in the pres
ence of an unsympathetic.lrish-hating as
sembly. Some might appreciate their
power and pathos, but the majority would
laugh at Grattan’s peroration as a piece
of fustian rhetoric. Tl\e line of demarca
tion between cheers and Jeers is emotional
rather than reflective.
It Is also certain that the map who is
capable of the highest forensic eloquence
will sometimes venture upon a thing that
would be n flat-footed failure from the
lips of n speaker of average abllitv. Years
ago I heard William M Hvarts respond for
his . lass of the Yule alutnnl meeting. The
gathering that week was brilliant In the
extreme The heart of “Old roil” has been
stirred by fervid addresses of distinct con
gratulatory order. When Kvarts came for
ward. what did he do but give n account
of a visit he had made rhat morning to a
•how tent, whqre a learned pig was on

exhibition. The narrative of that visit
was an incomparable and delicious bit of
persiflage. And when Evarta wound up
oy saying. “Gentlemen, for tbe first time
in my life I discovered the real capacity
of a hogshead." grave professor* laughed
their spectacles off the scholastic nose.
Almost anybody but the great lawyer
would have made but a sorry exhibition of
himself on such a therne. But the show
tent episode, as told by him. possessed a
sort of Sharks Lamb piquancy.
I believe it Is the modern habit to sneer
<t oratory. The gift, not so common
among public men as in the period before
the Civil War, Is relegated to the domain
of the “sophomorical." And the droning
dryness of most speeches and sermons in
flicted upon countless hearers proves the
potency of the neer. Your average man
is blase, when it comes to hard thinking
and profound feeling. And the result is
much play by public speakers on the
fringe* of ihe superficial. But, in my
mind, there should always be room and
wekxnc for the orator, born, not made,
pouring out his soul under stress of keen
est birth-pang* of ardent conviction.
Freak* of the < ompntc
From he Portsmouth (N. H.) Chronicle.
The captain of the United States light
house tender Myrtle, which was here a
few days ago. reports a peculiar- state
of affairs in the eastern part of the
state of Maine. He says that while go
ing through many of the passages he no
ticed that the compass swfings around
from one 10 two points. This Is espe
cially noticed in Deer Isle passage, and
In some places Is very dangerous to ves
sels, as in thick weather the deviation
is sufficient to put them ashore. He
says he has noticed hls deviation espe
cially between South Mark Island and
Dry Halibut Rock. In passing Mark Isl
and tbe deviation Is from three-fourths
to one and one-half points, and, from the
time this trouble is first noticed until
tbe vessel passe* out of the magnetic
belt it requires about eight minutes.
.Some of the residents of the islands say
that magnetic ore on Canto’s Tslnnd is the
cause of the compass deviation. The
captain of one steamer told him that the
ore is particularly noticeable on Mar
shall's Island, and he has observed that
the great deviation i at high water.
The tripod on Dry Halibut Rock has
been boarded up solidly with heavy
planks. This Is for the purpose of giv
ing hack the echo in thick weather. The
captains of vessels have got so they can
determine their position quite accurately
by this means. Some of the old captain?
soy that fog will give back an echo, but
!t seldom deceives an experienced mari
ner.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
WHY AND HOW SI \\ WEE SPRINGS’
W ATER < l RES.
There is but one cardinal reason; The
Water is a natural diuretic. Get hold of
riot phrase in its full meaning, if you
please. Turn to Abernetiiy. "Nature’s
way of cure of disease is by free diuresit.
And Avenbrugger: “Nature care? for (he
kidneys. That is health.” And Bichat:
“Health is impossible if the diuretics be
neglected.”
Put it in this way: The Water ha? a
selective action on the kidneys. The ex
cretion of the solid matters—the urea,
uric acid, and extractive matters—is in
creased by it. In other words, it causes
the elimination of the products of the
Increased metamorphosis of tissue. And
yet. notice that this is done without any
impairment of the quality of the blood, or
any lowering of the forces of the organ
ism.
It is better that patients go to the Spring
to take the Water, for the reason that the
psychic Influence* of change of scene, as
sociations and climate are very large fac
tors concern • } In the results of treatment.
Go to the Spring, if ybu can. It means
much more than you can dream of. You
want the Water as Nature hands it forth.
But if you cannot go for any reason, you
may rest assured that it I? the earn.-
Water, whether taken a* the Spring or
hundreds of miles from there, and that
Ihe results are the same wherever it is
taken.
There arc two or three points to be not
ed.
Suwanee Water is prompt in its action.
It acts the same day that it is taken. The
effe.es are immediate.
The effect? are continuous. That is.
results, which are early accomplished, are
continued.
