The old lady had a habit of getting up and smoking at in tervals during the n'ght, and it is sup p sed that in this way she met her death.

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 conference. 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. FLORIDA.

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. Tng Mini* Leaven Norfolk. Capt. Jacob Paulsen, president of the Propeller Towboat Company, stated last night that the tug Abram 'Minis sailed from Norfolk for Savannah at 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon, which should put her in Savannah Friday about 10 o’clock. No details were given in rhe message fur tbeer than the departure of the tug. While the delay caused the, lug on the account of the breaking of her propeller is a disappointment to fhe officers of the company, they have not lost the slightest confidence in the vessel’s qualities, as shown by her behavior during the trial trip on the Delaware.

DE.XOI XC ED FREE SILVER. 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."

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.
