Before he reached them one had sunk to a watery grave, and the other was so exhausted that he was scarcely alive. When he was slightly re vived he gave his name as Manuel Rod riguez, and said that his companion was named Jose Mendez. Wednesday after noon they went out for a sail on the bay. Both were inexperienced In handling a sailboat, and were capsized when off the lower part of the peninsula. They clung to the upturned boat all night and all day until late in the afternoon.

Atlanta, July 7.—Matt Hardee, a moon shiner who has just finished serving sen tence In the tower, is authority for the statement that ihe Federal prisoners op erate distilleries under the eye of the jailors, and produce a fair substitute for “mountain dew.” The jailors say there is nothing in Hardee’* story. This is what he says: “We can’t do without our liquor. It. makes no differ ence where we are. When I was sent up for the first time four years ago, I made whisky in the jail, and w hen I came hack some time ago I rigged me up a moon shine factory at once. I took two coffee pots for the boilers, and after trading and scheming with the other prisoners, I man aged to get a rubber tube to make a worm. “Then I was fixed so far ns the appa ratus went, hut the next thing was get ting meal. You see, we government pris oners are allowed many privileges than the others are not. We can stroll about the yard and into the jail office, the kite'h en, and, in fact, anywhere else we want to, except into the street. It was a small matter to get meal from the cooks on the excuse that 1 wanted It to parch or had the heat and wanted it to rub on my back. “After getting the meal, it was a small mat for to moke the real thing. You see the plant Is email, but we could turn out about a pint every day. There were other fellows fvho had stills also, and after making an all night run, using com mon tin lamps to get up heat, we had a right good lot next morning. Then wo would proceed to get drunk. I made enough money in jail to pay my fare home, just by selling my stuff to other prisoners. “I intend to make moonshine whisky as long as I live. Neither the government nor anyone can toreak me up. I think that 1 will come right into Atlanta and set up a distillery. It Is more convenient than in the country. You have the water works that don’t cost much, and that you can arrange to run right into your still. I own some property on Peachtree street and on Smith street. I am thinking of building a more on Smith street and run ning a barroom in connection with it. Of course I will get a license to sell the whisky, but you can bet your last penny that I am not going to pay tax on the whisky I make. “You can see, I can rig uV the still in the cellar, let the smoke run out through my chimney and turn out the best whisky ever sold In Atlanta. It won’t cost me much, the government will get no revenue, and I will get rich. Whisky is always In demand, and is the same as currency. “I hope to set up the still In the next few* weeks, and then you can watch out. There are several of the boys not in jail who are thinking of doing the same thing.” ARE GLOOMY IN COFFEES. Poorest Crop Prospect* That llaye Ever Been Known. Kirkland, Coffbe County. Georgia, July 7.—The most gloomy conditions exist In this entire section, of the state. The crops are practically lost and ruined from the excessive and continued rains. It Is the judgment of all who are in position to know that not one-third of a crop of cot ton will be made, and the com crop is equally as short. Some farmers have abandoned their crops, and are seeking employment for wages. More guano, mules and implements were bought this year to supply the farms than ever before, the prospect of good prices for cotton stimulating the farmers to re newed energy and ambition, and they be gan work m&re hopeful and encouraged than for years, but now bankruptcy stares them In the face. It cannot be de nied that the greatest crop failure has struck this section that has ever been ex perienced. The rains have kept the land so badly flooded that the plows could not run cn hardly half time, and the grass and weeds have completed the ruin. The gardens and melon patches have fared as badly us the fields, and are hopelessly ruined. The last two or three days have been fair and hot, causing the crops in the drowned section to fire and turn yellow, and lice and rust in the cotton will now upset all hopes. The merchants- and dealers in fertilizers, who have supplied the farmers wlilt guano and supplies, have practically no clian.-a to collect more than about one third of amounts due them on these advances, and business prospects that bore a bright as pect a few months ago are now blighted. YVILL FISH ON THE WORK. Tlfton, Thoinn*vllle nud Gulf YVIII Extend to Tnllnlinssee. Thomasville, Ga., July 7.—-At a recent meeting in this city of the Board of Direc tors of the Tlfton, Thomasville and Gulf Railroad Company, It was decided to build without delay to Tallahassee. Work oh the Tallahassee section w.U begin at this end In about ten days. The track lay ing gang is now on the outskirts of Thomasville. The plies for the bridge across Mitchell’s mill pond are being driven. When this has been finished, the remainder of the track can be laid in a day. A. L. Spicer has been appointed depot agent at Thomasville for the new rail road. He is already on the ground, and arranging for Ills labors. It Is said the schedule for the new road will be an nounced In about ten days. Advantageous freight rotes arc expected for Thomas viile. The celebration of the completion of the railroad to Thomasville has been post poned until July 19. as by that time the roadbed can be surfaced up, and the track got Into better condition for the running of heavy passenger trains Great prepara tions are going forward here to make the celebration a success.

Heference* to the Campaign of tßf>G. AVost Point Appointment* Wliirh Will He Well Received—Politic* a Losing Game—tinny of Tlionc Who Attain Prominence Soon Forgot ten—Ollier Matter* of General In terest. Pine Crest Villa, Maitland, Fla., July 7.—ln reply to an invitation to attend the grand Blue and Gray Reunion in the trenches around Atlanta, Ga., whe.e he fought as “and ‘mounted cavalry” in July, 1861, Gen. Joe Wheel< r, U. S. A., writes from Fort Sheri an, near Chicago, that ha will be there if he finds that he can do so, and not neglect any of his duties as commander of that department. And in this statement lies the secret of Gen. Wheeler’s wonderful career. A sense of duty, as Daniel Webster once said, has pin sued him ever, and he, like Gen. Rob ert E. Lee, has considered duty the sub lim- si w ord in the Eng ish language. Dur ing the Civil War, it was because ‘ Little Joe Wheeler” was prompt and ready to serve anywhere, at anytime, afoot or a horseback, where duty callei, that he became the youngest lieutenant general in the Confederate army, and in Gen. Lee’s opinion, shared ihe honor with Gen. J. E. B. Stuart of being the best cavalry general in the South. What a sublime pic ture of obedience to duty did Gen. Wh?el er pres-nt wh-n he turn d.away horn the n wly filled grave cf Cadet Thomas Harri son Wheeler, U. S. N., at VVhee er, Ala., the Idol of his heart, and bowed with giief, sped back to the camp at Monbauk Point, N. Y., to at on e resume the re sponsible dud s of his command, and that too, in the very sight of the merciless waters that had engulfed his brave and handsome boy! % Another, tut less touching Incident il lustrates Gen. \Vheeler*s fidelity to duty. I remember that when he joined us at Tampa as the Spnrrish-American war was oi ening, he Uis aided at cnee the comforts and attract! ns that we all were enjoy ing at the Tampa Bay Hotel and pitched his ttnt cut in the grove near his cavalry command, and there he could generally be found attending “strictly to business.” I well r'member how I missed hi. familiar fane ai th- banquet iu honor of Queen Victoria’s birthday ai th • Tam a Bay Ho tel All our generals and the foreign mili tary visitors were there, but “Fighting Joe Wheeler” was up at Lakeland, wh?re a stn-e of duty had called him, locking af:er the comfort of a cavalry regiment canned there. Aid so L was when he of fered his trusty sword to President Mc- Kinley for service in Cuba—a s nse of duty, prompt and that tender, and later m sect him to the Philippines, and Riill later made him anxi us to go to China to relief of our ill-tat<d countrymen. Not a desire for fume or military glory—nor to gratify, as some a*s rt falsely—a blood thirsty desire, but from a s nse of duty, this gallant soldier, without a superior to-day in our country, has given his riper years to tin de.nse of the “Old Flag'* of his earlier military career, and the cause of fie dom, good government and relig ious liberty for which it s'ands the world over. We read a great deal about 4he bicycle for military purposes in the armies of the world, but I think the Halifax Rifles of Daytona, Fla., is the first militia com pany to make use of it in a practical way. Frank Reddick, a member of the company, was recen'iy buried with mili tary honors and his comrades, on bicycles, In platoons, escorted his remains to Pine Wood Cemetery. So far as I know, this is the first instance where an entire com pany of this character has paraded mounted on bicycles. I see that they had some of 4he old Fre mont Republican delegates at the recent Philadelphia Convention. Ah! me, what a campaign that was—a military hero and his accomplished wife as the battle cry. “Fremont and Jessie,’’ was the cry all over New England, and the women and children took up the slogan. How well do I remember the depleted schools, the disrupted sewing circles, the disturbed churches that made the campaign no torious. In some towns in Maine children of Democrats were actually driven out of schools, and theii* mothers out of sew ing circles, etc. 1 knew of Democratic families that were compelled to move to more congenial surroundings in other towns The failure to locate with certainty the grave of Gen. Nathaniel Greene in the old cemetery at Savannah, recalls the similar fate of three galhint New York officers in the War of 1812. of whom it can b said, as of one of old: “No man knoweth his sepulchre." When Chauncey Depew v.ms a young politician, Gov. Horatio Sey mour of New York, then an old man, tried to persuade him that it was losing game in the end to devote oneself to politics. Failure and obscurity in the end had been the fate of many, many of Ills early asso ciates. To illustrate. Rip Van Winkle’! idea of how soon are we forgotten, tht Governor said: “In tho War of 3812, there were three men who performed n signal service on the frontier, and their deeds were so ap preciated that the Legislature sent a spe cial commission to bring their bodien to Albany, and their remain* were met here by ail there was of power and authority In the Empire State, and the Governor and Ihe judges and the state officers, and the Legislature marched in procession and burled them in the grounds of the Capitol; and now no one knows what part of the grounds they wore burled In. what were their names, or what they did." While this ! nn exceptional case, It Is true that all over our country can be found neglect ed graves of heroes and statesmen, whose names and deeds and funeral pomp have almost passed out of the memory of our oldest Inhabitants, and of which the rising generation knows nothing. It Is evident tha* Chicago propose* to give the Grand Army of the Republic, that meets there Aug. 26-30, for Its thirty fourth annual encampment, a taste of genuine Western hospitality. Col. S. Her bert Laney of this city, special aide to Commander-In-Chief Shaw, has just re ceived a most elegant and elaborate In vitation, signed by Gen. John C. Black, chairman. Carter H. Harrison and Potter Palmer and other wealthy and Influential AltUeng ef Chicago, which give* gome idea of the generous and unbounded hos pitality awaiting the old Union soldiers. But it is a remarkable fact, .and on* that reflects great credit upon Southern hospitality, rfhat no city has given the Grand Army a more cordial welcome and bountiful hospitality than Louisville, Ky., extended. Nor has any city given the So ciety of the Army of the Potomac a heartier greeting or a more generous en tertainment that Fredericksburg, Va. Both of the.** Union soldier organizations hesitated to meet in any Southern city, blit now they would be only too glad to come again. And they have cordially in vited <he United Confederate Veterans to moot in the North. The appointment of William C. Oats, Jr., of Montgomery. Ala., a cadet “at large’* to West Point Military Academy, will be gratifying to old Confederate soldiers, showing, ns it does, a practical evidence of reconciliation and a reunited country. There was no braver soldier in the Con federate army than Col. William C. Oates, the one-armed hero of the “bloody” Fif teenth Alabama Regiment. After the war he served his people as Congressman and Governor and when the Spanish-iAmeriean War loomed up President McKinley ap pointed him a brigadier general of vol unteers. Should his son and namesake succeed in graduating at West Point he will carry the father’s honored name into the regular army. Already the South has there Joe Wheeler. Jr., Johnson Hagood, Jr., R. 11. Anderson, Jr., Fitz Lee, Jr., M. C. Butler, Jr., and others, all sons of Confederate, generals, some of whom left the regular army to enter the Confed erate service. Already several of th°se young offiers have attained higher rank than their fathers held when they resign ed, with fair prospects of still higher pro motion. The South cannot complain of the number or quality of her present army representatives. I have no feeling other than that of pity and contempt for any man who is an American citizen, North or South, who de liberately holds up to ridicule in any form, especially in an. illustrated maga zine article, the movement to teach pa triotism and n love of the “Old Flag’’ to the pupils of our public schools. In a reunited country, one whose gallant sol dier-boys, from all Its parts, have rallied round that flag to sustain its prestige and power wherever attacked, it would seem that no man could be found base enough to belittle or ridicule any movement to instill into the minds and hearts of the fitting generation, a greater reverence and a stronger love for the Stars and Stripes. It is an insult to the Daughters of the Revolution, and the Daughters of the Con federacy, whose patriotic labors with th* children have won such hearty praise from all good people w’ho love their country and its flag. It remained for one Marion Hill, in .McClure’s Magazine, for July, to cast a slur upon this patriotic move ment, and to make it ridiculous by dis torting the lisping utterances of little chil dren. There is neither truth nor common sense In half the statements he makes. He has a child thus murder: Drake's poem to the flag: “Forever wave that standing cheat Where breeze the foe but falls beforus, With freedom’s oil beneath our feet And freedom’s banner screaming orus.” Another example is given where a schoolgirl wrote down “America” for the author of the article, and here is a sam ple: “My country tlssuf thee. Sweet land of libaet tea Of thee I sing.” I venture to assert that he can hfar Just such a rendering as this of many fami miliar hymns by a thousand! high-priced church choirs in this country. But to make his article more ridiculous he gives another sample: “I love thy rots and chills, Thy woods and temper pills. My heart with ratcher thrills Like that above.” Now, if there is anything In this article to make a true patriot or a loving parent, or a faithful school teacher feel other than ashamed of its author, I am greatly mis taken. Grant, for the sake of argument, that some little children make ludicrous mistakes, does it warrant us in belittling and ridiculing a grand patriotic move ment? I think not. During the Civil War I addressed a big mission Sunday School and the exercises were closeTl by singing America. But one bad boy dis turbed the solemnity and sacredness of the occasion by winding up the line. “Great God, our King,” by adding, in a loud tone, “or any other man.” Should that one break stop all future efforts to Improve such boys? There has never been a time in the his tory of our country when such an article could have been more untimely. Not only has the South, come back to Hs first love and brave defense of the “Old Flag” of the fathers, but to-day It waves over many islands of the sea as an emblem of freedom, power and protection to all that can elevate, Christianize and improve hu man beings. Col. Allan C. Bakewelt, commander of Fafayette Post, G. A. R., of New Y’ork city, and chief special aide to Commander-in-Chlef Shaw-, has in charge the work of teaching patriotism in the public schools and encouraging military instruction in'the same. Through Ihe generosity of his wealthy post, and his own desire to do good, he visited Por to Rico and placed a handsome Ameri can flag on every school building on the island, and furnished the pupils with pa triotic songs and other Instructive reading matter. And Bishop H. B. Whipple says the most attractive feature of Washing ton’s birthday celebration at San Juan was the singing of patriotic songs, etc., by the school children. And the same good work Col. Bakewelt is promoting in the Philippines, in Cuba and in Sand wich Islands. God pity the man—be he Marion Hill. In McClure’s Magazine, or any other man— who can ridicule such a patriotic movement. Sidney Herbert. FIFTEEN YEARS AFTERWARDS. Martin Lemon Returns to Athens Af ter n Queer Alisenee. Athene, Ga., July 7.—After an absence of fifteen yeorfc. Mr. Martin Lemon, once a well known planter of this section, has returned to find himself forgotten by hit friends, his brother long dead, and his lands for the time, at least, lost. Nearly a score of years ago, Mr. Lemon purchased a large plantation. After working It a few years, he placed his brother in possession of the property and left, stating his intention of returning aft er a few months’ absence. He did not return within the year, nor the next year. His brother became alarm ed and put advertisements in all of the papers, seeking for the whereabouts of the wanderer. After many years had j>ass ed. Lemon was given up as' dead. Several years ago the brother, who was In charge of the farm. died. He left no children and the ordinary advertised In vain for the rightful owner of the rich estate. But nothing was heard from the missing man. 111 the meantime. Marlin Lemon, who, after wandering in Mississippi, Louisiana and nil of the Southern states, had re turned and settled in Early county and was prospering. He finally bethought him to inquire after his brother. Great was his surprise to learn that the brother was dead and the old farm had been teat. He came at once to Athens and is now Reeking the exact location of hi* farms, his right to which he will main tain by law. The wanderer could hardly believe be was again In the Athene of his former days. Irv hla busy and wandering life, time hed flitted by unnoted, and he has just awakened to the realization of the length of hts absence. —“Whet did Freddy say when you caught him coming out of the pantry with hts hands stained red?"

Morning News Office, July 7.—TThc fea ture of the local markets to-day was the advance of 3-16 c on all grades of cotton at the closing call. The market was bul letined firm at the advance, on sales of 345 bales. Local sentiment is of a de cidedly bullish character on crop and other news affecting the markot, and the strong position of cotton just now is to a large extent a fulfillment of expecta tions. The futures market did not show a great deal of strength. The naval stores market closed firm at 4314 c for turpentine, and fiem and un changed for rosins. There w r as a fair demand,though the volume of business for the day was not large. The belief pre vails largely to the effect that there may be a lessened supply this year as a re sult of many drawbacks, w'hich may have considerable bearing in maintaining pres ent prices. The minor markets were well stocked with nearly everything this section af fords at this season of the year. The demand was moderate, and as a result commission men found some difficulty in unluading big stocks. In moist instances the stock on hand was of a perishable nature, and had to be got off hand* at any price. Watermelons are plentiful, as are also peaches and other fruits. The wholesale markets were in the main un changed. The following resume of the different markets will show the tone and quotations at the close to-day: COTTON.

New York, July 7.—The market for cot ton futures opened steady In tone, though 6®12 lower late under brisk general sell ing, In which no Interests took the lead. The bearish turn of prejudice followed weakness In English market, together with a most re.ns*urtng weekly review of the crop and weather situation South, sn excellent bearish bulletin from the (overnment and vtrjr tneourajlpj crop More than 500 doctors, medical companies and “institutes’’ have, during, the i>ast 15 years, endeavored to inmltate my meth ods. None has succeeded. The reason for these failure* Is because no one of oil these has been able to imitate my system of treatment. They have worked on the idea that it is there articles written by me and about me w hich appear ffom time to time in the newspapers that have won for me my success and they have not only imitated these articles, but have copied them In general style awd often word for word. While I must give great credit to the press for the publicity which they have given to my discoveries and the remarka ble cures which I have made of chronic diseases, the foundation of my practice is based on my long years of experience and the exclusive remedies which I apply. Few Imitators succeed in any line, and the reason is usually the same as with those who have tried to follow me; they imitate what they think the cause of suc cess, while the real underlying cause they are notable to imitate because they do not t know' what it is. Many self-called spoc- dispatches from several important sec tions of Texas. Liquidation set in after the opening call and carried prices srfiil lower. Short selling on a. moderate scale was done by the courageous bears, but as a rule, new business of any description was not attempted on a large scale. The critical conditions in China served to in tensify the weaker ruling of the market. New York, July 7.—Colton futures open ed steady at the decline, and closed steady.

Only n Moderate Volume of Trading in Securities. New lork, July 7.—The stock market was in the doldrums this morning:, with scarcely enough way cn to indicate the direction of tho price movement. Yester day's profit-taking movement took all snap owt of the bulls and the bears are disinclined to renew a campaign in fact of r cent indications that ho.ders are un willing to let go of stocks. The r’os'ng cf tie London stock ex change for a holiday added another fac tor to dullness. There was nothing mor# ihc.n a sluggish drift of prices in sympa • hy with the movement of special stocks. Louisville weakened a point on doubts about the dividend ra:os to be declared next w- ek. ii.inois Central was oushed up 2 points on intimations that ihe divi dend rate was to be advanced to 6 per cent. Missouri and Ohio turned hfavy on rt adzing sales. There was some renewed show of strength in New Jersey Central on recurring rumors of control The whole market weakened and fe 1 below last night on the surprisingly weak return* of the clearing house hanks. The light volume of selling in The face of this as'onishing statement is striking evidence of confirmed dullneps of the market. The* showing is quite inexplica ble on the basis of any known facts or the evidence of the ton* of the money market during the we k. The loan con traction of $r>,C78,600 seems to show' clearly enough that the stock market liquidation in Berlin has been accompanied by th’ paving off of s me of that center’s heavy lib!gallons to the New York money w * r ' ket. But what has become of the $2.&7v).- 310 in specie and legal tenders which at*® lost to the banks there is nothing to show r .
