Bishcp. in Oconee county, was burned to
death Saturday night. The old lady had
a habit of getting up and smoking at in

Berrien is Frosperon*.
Valdosta Times: The indications are that
our neighbor, Berrien county, will show
up with about half a million dollars in

gain over last year of $30>,928, and it is

the figures up to the half million mark.

A Rather Scnltlen Marriage.
At Conyers William E. Stovall and Mrs.
Gfnie Haygood were married Sunday af

the country and on arrivirg at the resi
dence of Rev. Mr. Finchers, several miles
from Conyers, Mr. Stovall, as the story

J. H. Almand & Cos. Mrs. Haygood. who
was a charming widow, is the sister of
Rev Dr. Coe Christian, of Augusta, and
Rev. Jef Christian, of the North Georgia

A Splendid Crop of Sorgrlinm.
Americus Times-Recorder: Many of the
thrifty faimers of Sumter appreciate sor
(ghum cane as food for stock, and the
crop now ready to harvested is per
haps the finest ever produced here. Mr.
C. C. Hawkins has a field of several j
acres, and some of the stalks are ten to j
twelve ftet in high* The time to harvest
the crop is when bloom falls from the
stalk, and it should be stacked in the field
and thoroughly dried before being stored
in the barn. An enormous amount of sor
ghum can be produced upon a single acre,
and when chopped up it is an excellent
ferd for cows, horses and other livestock.
Many acres of popcorn planted here this
year will likewise be used as long forage
for stcck.
Little Cotton it Colombo*.
There are now only about 600 bales of
cotton in the Columbus warehouses, and
the probability is that by Sept. 1, the be
ginning of the new cotton year, the ware
houses will be empty. Hast year about
6.000 bales were carried over. During the
season now drawing to a close, competit
ion between the shippers and the local
mills ha been sharp, and the local mar
ket has been much improved. The in
creased number of Southern mills has done
much to preserve the market and to hold
the stocks down to comparatively small
flgu-res. At times during the season there
has been competition of the keenest sort
for the cotton. Some of the cotton was ex.
ported, some was shipped to North Caro
lina and nearly 30.000 bales were used in
the Columbus mills.

Some Weit Florida Votes.
Jacksonville Metropolis: The news re
ceived yesterday frofn a large number of
influential men in West Florida favor
ing Jacksonville for the capital removal
caused much rejoicing among the mem
bers of the Executive Committee. Jack
sonville should have 5,000 'votes west of
the Suwannee river, and the association
is planning to secure that number. Ocala
Is an enterprising town, but the people
realize that the contest is between Talla
hassee and this city, and consequently
they will not throw their vote away.
Hulkliending at Tampa.
Tampa Tribune: All the private prop
erty-owners along the water front have
agreed to bulkhead their water frontage,
on condition that the City Council will
proceed at once to have the same wo k
done on the foot of the streets along the
river. It Is highly imperative, iherefore.
that the Council should at once devise
some means of doing this work. If the
city will thus co-operate with the private
property-owners, the result will be a com
plete bulkhead along the river froqtj from
the Lafayette street bridge to the garri
son. This improvement will be one perma
nent In Its character, and no less perma
nem in Its benefits. The Council cannot
afford to delay this work longer.
Tobacco Importation*.
st week there were 386 bales of tobac
-1 imported through the port of Tajppa.
which is a small number compared to
that which will be coming over within
the next few weeks. The withdrawal cf
tobacco from the bonded warehouses for
last week amounted to 643 bales, all of
which was taken out for immediate con
sumption. El Modelo factory opened
for business Monday morning, after n
strike' of about one day’s duration. The
men asked for an increase of prices on
two sizes, and this was finally granted
by the management when it was shown
that the request was not unreasonable.
The negotiations were conducted in a
very pleasant and agreeable manner be
tween the men and management, and
there wai no bad feeling of any kind.
ComprcM for Pcn*acola.
The William M. Bierce Company (Lim
ited) of New Orleans proposes to estab
lish in Pensacola one of their best square
bale cotton compresses, the machinery
and equipment to cost $40,000, besides the
necessary building, which will cost $lO.-
000 more, provided the people of that city
will demonstrate their appreciation and
good will by donating the site upon which
the compress is to be erected, and assist
the company in having a water main laid
to the plant as a protection against fire.
A committee of citizens, selected from the
most enterprising and public-spirited busi
ness men of Pensacola, has had the enter
prise under consideration for some time
past, and given the matter considerable
thought, resulting in a favorable reply to
the New Orleans firm, who sent their
agent. Mr. Nelson, to Pensacola to con
summate negotiations. Mr. Nelson ar
rived there Saturday, and Monday the
committee decided to undertake to raise
the amount necessary to lay the water
main and purchase one of the two or three
available site.* previously selected In the
northern portion of the city, adjacent to
the LouisviEe and Nashville Railroad
track.

MARINE INTELLIGENCE. _
WHARF OWNERS AFTER BETTER
STEPS TO RIVER STREET.
Complaint* Have Been Made to Coun
cil About the Step* at the Foot of
Whitaker Street—Also Complaint
About the Fbul Odor* From the
Whitaker Street Sewer Tug
Abram Mini* Left Newport New* nt
f O’Cloek Yesteriln.v—New* Dot*
From the River Front.
Some of the wharf owners along the
river front, and particularly the steam
boat men, are complaining about the ap
proaches to their wharves, and think of
petitioning Council to make some needed
improvements. The steps leading down
from Bay to River street are not in goed
condition at several points, and could be
improved .upon, they eay, by the expen
diture of a little money.
Qapt- George U. Beach, of the Beaufort
arid Savannah line, has complained to
trfe City Council about the steps at the
foot of Whitaker street, which he claims
are too steep and inconvenient for the
large amount of travel up and down them
daily. He says the number of persons
using them daily wM justify the city in
making some improvement?. What is de
sired are steps which will allow persons
to ascend and descend without so much
exertion.
“Another thing to which I have called
the attention of the city authorities," said
Capt. Beach, “,s the sewer at the foot of
Whitaker street, which gives off the rank
est sort of odor at all hours. Capt. Strob
har has been laid up several weeks, pre
sumably on this account, and now' I am
about ready to give up on account of fe
ver myself. There are at least 50,000 per
sons who travel by the Beaufort and 6a
vannah Line yearly, and they are en
titled to some consideration in the way of
conveniences in getting to the wharves."
Alderman James M. Dixon says the
sewer cannot be changed without an ex
penditure on the part of the city of about
$50,000. With regard to the steps, he says
they have lasted for many years, and he
thinks they are suitable for several years
to come. It may be said at the time the
present steps were built the wharf at the
foot of Whitaker street was not used as
a landing for passenger steamers.

While the delay caused the, lug on the
account of the breaking of her propeller
is a disappointment to fhe officers of the

confidence in the vessel’s qualities, as
shown by her behavior during the trial
trip on the Delaware.

Gold Democrat* Reaffirmed Indian
apoli* Platform.
Indianapolis, Ind., July 25.—The follow
ing resolutions were adopted by the Gold
•Democratic Committee to-day:
"Resolved, That in the opinion of this
committee the nomination of candidates
by the National Democratic party for the
offices of President and Vice President is
unwise and inexpedient.
"Second, That we reaffirm the Indian
apolis platform of 1896.
‘ Third. We rec. mmend the state com
mit; es in their respective states to pre
serve th ir organizations and take such
steps as in their opinion may best sub
serve the principles of our party, espe
cial y in the maintenance of a sound cur
rency, the light of private contract, the
independent e of il.e Judiciary and the au
thoiity of the Pr sidrnt to enforce feder
al laws, a covert attack on which is made
under the guise of the denunciation of
government by injunction.
“We urge the voters not to be deceived
by the plea that the money question has
been finally settled. The specific reitera
tion of the demand for the free coinage
of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 by the
Kansas City convention and the histo y
known of all men in connection therewith
emphasizes the demand. We indorse the
action of Congress in passing a bill em
bodying the gold standard as a step in
the right direction. We feel it would be
dangerous to elevate to executive power
any one hostile to maintenance and en
forcement of this law."
Lewis Erich of Colorado, who, since
18D6 has been prominent and active in the
go!d Democratic movement, said:
"This action of the national committee
of the Gold Democracy is outrageous. Th*
whole thing is simply a McKinley indorse
ment, ar.d I have no doubt that those Im
mediately interested in issuing the call in
tended it as such. I have done with the
committee and the present organizaiion of
the party, and shall tender my resigna
tion."
I.mer on Mr. Erich wrote his letter of
resignation and withdrawal, which was
accepted by the committee.

ConntN I'pon France to Aid China in
Her Trouble.
Paris, July 25.—The Emperor of OhinA
has sent to President Loubet the follow
ing letter, transmitted by telegraph by
the Governor of Shan Tung, July 19:
"China has for several years been link
ed in friendship with your honorable
country. All affairs concerning our re
lations on the frontiers of Squang Si and
Funan have been discussed and
settled by way of conciliation.
There exists no grievance between
us. Recently the population and
Christians found themselves in hostili
ties and rebellious persons have profited
by the opjjortuniiy to indulge in depreda
tions, with the result that foreign na
tions have suspected the court of showing
partiality toward the people and of jeal
ousy towaids the Christians. Subsequent
ly the attack upon and taking of the fort
at Taku took place, at which military ac
tion and misfortunes ensued, rendering tha
.‘•iiuation still more complicated and dan
gerous.
“As we think that in the international
relations of China with other governments
your honorable nation has most cordial
re’ations with China, and as China is to
day pressed by the circumstances up to the
Point of drawing upon herself universal
wrath in order to arrange these difficul
ties and to resolve these complications,
wc think it possible that it is solely upon
your honorable country that wc may
fount. Therefore, opening our heart to
you in all sincerity, we demonstrate to
you our intimate sentiments and we ad
dress you this letter in the sole hope that
you will find. Mr. President of the Repub
lic, means of arranging matters and will
take the initiative to transform the pres
ent situation.
‘ Vi’e b-g you at the same rime, to have
th" g oinesi to adore s us a k nd re
sponse, which wc cannot help but await
with extreme anxiety.
