Robert Sharpton, an aged and highly esteemed Confederate veteran of Atianta, died Saturday at his home on Auburn ave nue. He attended the big reunion at Louisville, where he contracted a severe cold. Coming home, he was forced to go to bed. He was a member of the Forty second Georgia, and his death was large ly due to the effects of advanced years. Tlie Thirtieth Georgia.

The Peneh Crop. Mr. R. A. Mixson, traveling freight agent of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, said, after having just returned from a trip through the- peach-growing country south of Macon: “I am satisfied, after o careful and thorough investigation, that the railroads will ship much less than 50 per cent, of of their estimates. Some roads that ex pected to ship 150 cars will not get twen ty-five. Others will do somewhat better, hut one-half is a liberal estimate. It is a pity to see the fruit growers in their dis appointment. 1 am satisfied the shipping seasgn will end next (this) week.” nelrnacrt the I’ijfoons. The homing pigeons, about fifty in num ber. sent to Mr. Thomas Grier, of the Southern Express Company, at Macon by the Baltimore Flying Club, were released at the North Macon bridge Saturday morning at 4:40 o’clock, and the entire flock rose skyward and began the circle before making their start for their homes. This was the second lot of pigeons that have been sent to Mr. Grier by this club to be released for a long flight home, many wagers are- made- on- the result of the racte. Every pigeon hsd its own er’s name attached to an aluminum bond around its neck. Melon Crop Poor. ThTs year’s melon crop of Southwest Georgia, it is reported, is practically n thing of the past. There may be a few melons shipped in the next few days, but the crop of 1900 has been the smallest known in years. At the outset high prices were received and the prospect bright, but the heavy rains and hot sun worked together a great damage to the melons. Before shipments had been in progress two weeks the grade of melons dropped off at an astonishing rate, and were unfit for shipping. The growers were very much discouraged at this state of affairs and have stopped shipping, as the prices received for the poor melons will hardly pay the freight charges. What is true of the melons is also true of canteloupes. The season has been a bad one and the change for the worse came within the last few days. fonp|pnpo Hurts Him. "In addition to the horror of the wreck and the suffering of the victims, there Is added the great regret something like remorse, that I did not go out into the Btorm and flag the doomed train.” That is what Farmer J. O. Allen is re ported to have said the other day. He lives three hundred yards below the Camp creek culvert, into which Southern train No. 7 plunged that fateful Saturday night, carrying to frightful death more than thirty persons. Mr. Allen says the culvert had been cracked for months to his certain knowl edge. His attention was first called to what he says was the dangerous condition of the place by Rev. William Bledsoe, a Baptist minister living in McDonough and owning the land on both sides of the culvert. ‘‘When I looked out of my.back window Saturday night at dark,” says Mr. Allen, “the water was everywhere over the bot tom. It looked like a sea. You could hear the roar of the water plainly. It began raining in toricnrs at 5 o’clock Saturday afternoon and was still pouring when I went to bed at 8 o’clock. I was re.-tless knd uneasy. I knew* the culvert was dan gerous and I kept thinking about the passenger train. “T looked for a lantern, but there was none In the bouse. If a torch would have burned in that fearful storm I would have lighted it and started out.” FLORIDA Frank Williams, convicted at the spring term of the Circuit Court for the murder of Bryan Denham, paid the forfeit of bis life at Apalachicola Friday in the pres ence of 2,000 people, who assembled at the Jailyard to witness the execution. flnrjjKlnra In GnincMville.

Tampa Daily Times: Our Pensacola friends have been bragging a good deal about the thirty feet of water on their bar, and how they could Accommodate the navies of the world in their harbor. Put we are deeply pained to notice that thrse blessings don’t do them much good. When the Hollander line steamships went there the other day to get naval stores they had to lie out and lighter—just the satne as they do in Tampa. There is a difference, however, in the causes operat ing nt the two ports. In Tampa the lighters are used because the water is not deep enough for the vessels to come tip to the docks. In Pensacola the Louis ville. and Nashville Railroad owns ell the docks at which there is deep*, water, and it will not allow the Hollander line to use them. So it would seem that the deep water at Pensacola does not belong to the people, but to the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. The money appro priated by the government and the work done on the harbor of Pensacola—paid for cut of the treasury—was for the ex clusive behoof of the Louisville and Nash ville Railroad, and not for the benefit of the people and their commerce. CKISHBD 15V SI,A\DER, I'relty “Polly" Smith :incl the Cruel Story About Her. From the New York World. No matter how painfully death may to Mary Condit Smith, the pretty Washington girl who, it is now almost certain, was murdered by Box ers, it was sweet to the living death she was suffering. The Chinese may have visit'd dreadful tortures upon her. yet death in any form to her was a re lief, for Mary Condit Smith was a mar tyr to ashington s?andal mongers, and was literally driven to her death by ma licious gossip. Mary Condit Smith died in trying to live down and forget that she had been accused of theit. No more innocent, no purer girl ever lived than she. yet she was no proof against scandal and gossip, and, horror-stricken, ashamed, cowed, she sought io forget by traveling from one end of the earth to the other. It was in Pittshurg that the, seed of scandnl that Hd to Miss Condit Smith’s murder was planted. In Washington she was known as "Pohy" Smith. There she was loved. Women eared for her be iaus’ she was sincere and sensible; men were fond of her because she was pretty and always agreeable She was a laugh ing, light-hearted girl, welcomed every where. From every side came lnvliations for "Polly’’ Smith. She was sought at the White House, at official entertainments, at private houses. In fact it may be said that no girl In Washington society had more tnTtrattors or was mote popular than Miss "Polly." That Fated House Party. When the invitation came for her to attend a house party given by her wealthy friends, the Moorheads, at No. !!-8 Ride avenue, Allegheny City, last fall she accept'd. Wasnington was gay enough at the time, but particular friends of her s were giving the house party, and she hated to disappoint them. It was a gay house party they had in Pittshurg. "Polly” Smith was the gay est of all, and when the time came for everybody to go home she was the best liked of all the guesis. No one deni and that slm had been the life of the party, and that wi.ho’it her things would have fallen ffai. It was after the house party had brok en up that the scandal took root. The hostess had missed Jewelry to the value of more than $2,000. Her guests were all persons of the highest standing and of unimpeachable character. She called in detectives and told them their names. She at that time suspected no one of having taken her jewels who was num bered among her guests. Rut the police are not respecters of family pride and family names, so the detectives began to search for the Jewels among the guests at the house. . The superintendent of Pittsburg detec tives. John Glenn, undertook the case, as the stolen jewels had been a wedding present to his bride from Mr. Moorhead, and aside frotp the Intrinsic value, about $1,500, were more precious to Mrs. Moor head than any money. The eight servants in the family were after most careful investigation relieved of suspicion. Many other detectives were, employed, and it was through a New York jeweler, to whom some unset diamortds were sent for resetting, that the first clue to the lost gems was received. Whoever stole the Moorhead diamonds had pried the Jewels rut of their setting nnd then en deavored to have them set In new fash ion so that they could never he recog nized. Money, then, was not the motive of the robbery. This gave to Washington detectives the first clue to the Moorheads’ guests. Mr. and Mrs. Moorhead could not be made to believe in the guilt of any of them, but a Washington detective, following descrip tions and circumstantial evidence, finally convinced the Moorheads that the thief actually was Miss Oondit-Smith, the ac complished and lovely girl whose talent and popularity made her welcome every where and who had repeatedly enjoyed the honor of -receiving side by side with Mrs. McKinley In the White House. Of course the Moorheads refused to make the Washington detective's story public, but equally of course It leaked out In that ex clusive set in which the young girl moved.

In fact it Is said that some malicious person even went so far as to accuse the girl. Crushed Ry the Vandal, Then there came a change over "Pory** Smith. She was no longer the light hearted ghl She had heard the scandal. She was helpless. She was innocent, but the blow aimed it her had crushed her. Invitations came in fewer numbers, an*l those that did come were not accepted. The girl got paler and paler. She was sel dom seen outside her own home. Her cheeks became shrunken; her eyes, so bright and laughing formerly, were red from constant weeping: she never smiled, and her sensitive nature made%,hor imag ine that the whole world suspected her of a crime of w hich she was innocent. . 'Miss Smith’s brother-in-law is Gov. Gen. Wood, of Cuba. It was thought that a change of scene and climate would help the girl forget the cruel gossip that bad so sorely wounded her. So Miss Smith was sent to Cuba, to be with her sister, Mrs. Wood. Cuban climate and the change of scenes did not have the ( beneficial effect expected. The girl tried bravely to overcome the constant fear that she was everywhere pointed at as a thief. She tried to meet people as she had done before, but it was i.o use. She became so weakened in health and spirits that the every effort was beyond her strength. So she set:led down to a life of misery, literally eating her own heart. It was seen by the Woods that the girl would eventually die unless some plan could bo devised to take her mind from the great wrong that had been done her. Nearly a year passed before the mys tery was partially cleared 1 up by finding the settings of the diamonds in a Penn sylvania avenue shop in Washington, where they had been taken undoubtedly* by the real thief. (No one knows to this •lay exactly how. when or by whom the jewels were purloined. The discovery of them came too late. An irreparable in jury had been done to the young girl, without the slightest fault of her host, hostess or the detectives. So Washington accepted the finding of the jewels in a disinterested sort of way. Washington had almost forgotten the ac cusation made against “Polly** Smith by this time, In the freshness of other gossip on which Washington feeds, but “Polly” Smith had not forgotten. Could \ot Forget. She came heme from Cuba immediate ly after the jewels had teen found, and no doubt could have taken her own place in society had she been able to forgot, but she was not of ihe forgetting kind. She continued unhappy, never speaking; unless she was spoken to. growing thin ner and less like her former self every day. Society had all but killed her by* its love of go*sip. It when her family had almost oes; a red of ever making her well and happy again that the trip to China was proposed. The Congers were close to the Condit Smbhs. They loved the “Polly’’ Smith they had known of old. The girl left for China with the expressed pur pose of staying there always. 'ln China she could at least bo among people who would not gossip. What if they were heathens? What if they did kill h*r. as they perhaps have done? They wou and at least make her misery shortlived. So “Polly” Smith went to China. She was a pitiful-looking little thing, when she left Washington, the cnly hom* she had ever known where she had done so much to make happy the lives of oth?rs. It is sairl that it was Miss Smith’s purpose ro eventually he a missionary in China. She could never return to Wash ington. It was urged upon her that Washington had al eady forgotten th * accusation made against her and was only too ready to r ght the wrong. The wrong, however, was too great to lit r tl inking to ever he righted an w he chose to go from her h mo forever. How* “Polly” Smith met death has not been made known as yet. but. no matter how she died, death was sweet to her. There may be those in Washington to day who suffer a iang for the girl whom they sent to her death. None can deny that the calumny they helped to give breath and life to made her a martyr. THE WILD HONEY CHOP. Texas lice* B*my ami the Flowers l>u\tirinnt. Correspondence of the Chicago Record. The wild honey crop In Texas this year will exceed all previous yields in the mem ory of those who are interested in that industry. The bountiful spring rains caused the broad prairies of West and Southwest Texas to become carpeted with fragrant wild flowers, and the bees re velled In their honeyed sweetness for a protracted period. There are a large num ber of professional “bee hunters” In this part of Texas, and they are looking for ward to a season of unusual prosperity from the sale of wild honey. There arc scores of rivers and small streams In country west of her. Small caves and dark recesses formed by shelving rock abound along these waterways. They are the natural hives of the wild bees, and take the place of the hollow tree trunks of ’he forest regions of the northern coun try. These caverns are used year after year by Lees, and in many instances they have been fouhd to be literally Ailed with honer. Capt. L. P. Seiker of Austin, quartermaster of the Texas Ringers, spent many years roaming over West Texas as an officer of a ranger company. He is one of ilie most expert Ire hunters In the state. “There are many bee eaves along the Pecos and Devil’s rivers," he eahl. “My ranger company was never without honey. We were on rxpcd.tlons almost constantly, but were never too busy ro rob a bee cave of Its honey. It Is wonder ful how much honey these bees will store in some of these caves. I have taken out ns much os seven barrels of pure honey from one cave. It Is a comparatively easy matter to discover a bee cave. My usu-al method is to go to a spring or water hole which is fiequented by bees and place a small qisnr tlty of sugar and molasses In a pan. TMo sweetness eoon attracts tho visiting bos. and offer they have loaded tip they rise straight Into the air to a* hight of probably ten feet and then make a beeline for their hive. On bright, clear day the black form of the bee can be k followed for quite a distance. I then take up the pan of sweetness and follow the diitction taken by the bee until I reach a point where I desire to make another test. I then set the pan down again, and in a short time it is visited by the indus trious little insect. When it again takes its flight I follow its course, and keep this up until I ‘track’ the bees into their hive. It <.* a comparatively easy thing to rob a bee cave. The honey commands a good P r ioe in the markets of the country and immense quantities of it are sold annual ly.” THE WEATHER.

Morning News Office, July 16. The belief that the heavy slump in the futures market on Saturday would be fol lowed by a reaction to-day, turned our not to be well founded. Instead of a re action the market started down hill at the opening, and while there were a few pauses for wind on the way down, it didn’t stop until considerable losses were scored, the closing being at a loss of 3 and 8 points. At one time it looked very much like the decline was ro carry prices off sharply. From every quarter the bull crowd was handicapped. Weak Liverpool cables came in the place of the expected improved tone of advices from that mar ket. and the news from the crop belt was in keeping with its favorable character for the past few days. Then there was nothing encouraging in the China news, which to many indicates an interrupted cotton fabric trade for some time to come. Some think it will require tims to get things straightened out even were quiet promptly restored there. The naval stores market continues strong. Spirits turpentine closed firm at U'.i cents, with the demand good, and all indications favorable for the maintenance of values. Rosins closed firm and un changed, with a good demand prevailing for the offerings. It does not seem thar there will be any overproduction this season, and the effect of this imparts strength to the situation. Besides there is at present a good demand for stuff, both for foreign and domestic account, which is also a factor in holding prices up. The opinion is that further gains will be scored before the present upward tendency reaches its limit. The whole sale markets were steady and unchanged. The produce market was quiet. The fol lowing resume of the different markets will show the tone and quotations at the closing to-day: COTTON. Nothing of interest developed In the cotton market to-day, which was quiet and steady at previous prices. The de mand for spot cotton was light, and no business of consequence was reported. The day's receipts showed some Improve ment, being 1,652 bales. The receipts so far this season have been 1,070.224, against 1,081,165 last year. The stock to-day is 19.170, against 8.536 last year.

Market ignln tines off t oiler t‘n fuvornble Con if i t ions. New York, July 16.—Early events on the Cotton Exchange w-ere exciting and thor oughly disheartening to the bull forces, which suffered so severely In Saturday's selling movement. Nearly all the Influ ences bearing upon the market were again against price Improvements. In view of the heavy decline and enormous unloading on that day, the bulls looked for a natural reaction this morning. But the cables were weak, the crop news good and the weather reports nearly all that could be desired. Moreover, the China news was such as to prevent fresh investment buy ing for outside account. With Liverpool futures down 54 to 64 points and spot cot ton off 4. our market opened easy, with July 2 points higher and later deliveries 2 to 9 points lower. There was a slight further decline immediately after the call, and then a brief period of hesitation, fol lowed by a sharp rise lo keeping with a iurn In the tendency of prices abroad. But before midday the market had devel oped fresh weakness and under heavy sell ing for hoth accounts, dropped rapidly to the lowest level of the morning, o net decline of 8 to 10 points. Europe sold large amounts of summer month cotton here and the South sold the new crop positions. Predictions that to-morrow's government crop report and weather statement would be a most decided bearish argument help ed to weaken sentiment in bull quarters. The short-time policy o( Fall River mills was regarded as but a temporary relief for the congested cloth situation at home, while Southern mills reported a super abundance of raw material and manufac tured goods with few orders. During the early afternoon the market was specu latively flat and featureless. The late phases were not specially Interesting and prices varied scarcely 5 points. The c'ioee was steady, with prices 3 to 8 net lower. FLI'CTTATIOM IN FITIRES. New Y’ork, July 16.—Cotton futures open ed easy and'closed easy. Prices as fol lows: | Open.| High.| Low. | Clos.

New York, July 16.—Murphy & Cos. say: The decline in Liverpool of l-8d on spots, 6-64d on near and 4-64d on far months, coupled with continued good weather over the belt for development of cotton, caused a further decline here this morn ing of 7 to 10 points on rather general selling, the buying being confined to cov ering high-priced sales to secure profits. Recent rain has been beneficial, particu larly in Texas. Crop prospects have been improving steadily this month. New York, July 16.—Hubbard Bros. & Cos. say: Liquidation continued during the morning, the new crop feeling the weight of the selling on the rains which fell over Texas during Saturday and Sunday. Receipts at the ports are heavy, representing the interior sales for ship ment to Liverpool and the movement to deliver on July contracts at New Or leans. It is thought that the shipments from St. Louis are going to that market, though the ability of holders to obtain higher prices there for their cotton than they can from spinners or The weekly government report is expected to report a continued improvement in the crop conditions. Our local trade expect a reaction from the sharp liquidation which has occurred and look for a bet ter Liverpool to-morrow. Late cables re port marker, was supported at the close to Influence ours. The trade, however, expect a better market there to-morrow. DRY GOODS. / New York, July 16.—The market for dry goods shows no material change to-day. It is excessively hot here, and spot busi ness suffers on that account, but mail orders are up to the average. Brown cot tons dull at previous prices. Bleached un changed In price. Prints in modern e re quest. Whifle goods steady. No change in woolen goods division. HAVAL STORES. Monday, July 16. SPIRITS TURPENTINE—WhiIe there were a few sales during the early hours to-day on a lower basis than the closing, on Saturday, it appeared there were only a few’ factors inclined to do business on a lower scale, and the result was a stiffen ing toward the closing, which was firm at 44*4 cents. The opening was firm at 44 and 44U. with sales of 150 casks report ed at this call, and the c’.osing firm at 44’ 4 . with further sales of 259 casks reported at this price. There is apparently a good demand, and the chances are favorable for the maintenance of prices. The day’s receipts were 837 casks, sales 400, and the exports 2,371. ROSINS—The market for rosins re mains firm and unchanged, with a good demand for the offerings. The outlook for rosir.s is as bright as it Is for spirits tur pentine. It seems possible that there may be some decrease in the expected produc tion for the season, which will aid in the maintenance of present prices.

New” York. July 16.—The depression caused on foreign exchanges by the sin ister reports from China, had no efftvt in the local market, and indeed, did rot hurt the American securities in the for eign markets. Good advance? were es tablished in London for Union Pacific and for Baltimore and Ohio, before the opening here, and international houses bought freely in this market of those and other stocks. The total purchase* for London account in this market wers estimated at 40,009 shares. The movement in the Union Pacific was the mainspring of this market all day, and Baltimore and Ohio was also an ac tive feature. The. movement in these stocks was primarily based on the esti mates for the year's earnings now made up. Another influence in the marker was the copious downfall of rains in the com belt. The amount of speculation which has been based 1 on supposed damage to the corn crop, was made obvious by the vio lent break in the price of corn and the rapid advance in the stocks of corn car rying railroads. This helped the Union Pacific movement, and that stock rose an extreme 274* Other gains ran from 1 to 19.1 for the corn Grangers. Burlington be ing conspicuous. Rock Island was held cack by sympathy with the. weakness in Brooklyn Rapid Transit, which was a target for the bears all day, And which lost 1% net. Missouri Pacific broke badly in the In a dealings on disappointment, that no ac tion on the dividend was taken at a meet ing of the directors held to-day. The ex treme decline was 1 7 /. and coupled with the weakness in Brooklyn Transit, and the disposition to /ake profits, reactions of about a point were caused, in n number of stocks. The closing was heavy at the reaction. Outside of the Granger? ami the Pacifies and trans-continentals gener ally, the market continued dull and nar row. An early advance In Sugar was due to the rise in the price of the refined pro duct. and there was some late strength in the steel stocks on reports of new order* being placed for iron products. The further advance in sterling ex change and the admission by internation al houses that they expected to ship goli this week seemed to he without effe t either on the stock market or the money market.
