2 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. C. A. ni .MIAM MADE *1 RGEOV.

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.

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 THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. JULY 2. 1900. 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.
