Albany Guards, has forwarded his resignation to the adjutant general ©t the s ate, to take effect aa early os practicable. The announcement of Capt. Davis’ resignation was a great surprise to the members of hU* company and to his friend* generally, as it was not known that he even cont emp a ted such a step. Cept. Dav;s. when asked what had in fluenced him to resign from the service, says: "Business affairs that engage my full time and artention. For some time I have feared hat i’ would be necessary for me to sever my connection with the company, bur I postponed this action as long as possible, I hated the idea of leaving the service.” Won Her Wngcr, A romantic little story is connected with a pretty young society lady of At lanta. who wishes her r.,im- withh ii for the present, who went to Fort Valley the first of the peach season. She went on a wager. Friends of the young lady in tb* Gate City bet her she would not t ome down and pack peaches during the entire season. She assert and she would. The stakes went to $350 and she came. Ar riving sh* found difficulty in securing a ttam to rid* to the ore hard and e she walked two mfh s in the hot sun to Ilaie-Georgia packing house. Here she remained, boarding at the farm hotel and rivalling experienced packers in her Beady wo-k. She hid little to say to any one and her extraordinarily quiet demeanor attracted attention to some thing mysteriously Interesting in th° case. Saturday sh left for home to claim her wager and the story leaked out. Officer* Oatwittrd the Mob, Friday afternoon Henry Atkins, a ;:e - charged with assaulting and robbing Mr. F. E.

Marietta Journal: Miss Ruby Fleming, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George M. Fleming, of this place, has a cat that is rot only a fine mousor, hut has developed a penchant to kill snakes. This cat is a very fir.e one and wears ribbons end bells, through the pettish scheme of Miss Ruby. One doy last week she heard the belle ringing vigorously. She went to the door and saw n fight in the yard shrubbery going on between the cat and a very large moccasin snake. The snake would dart Its head ©t the cat and she would knock the head of the snake to one side with her foot every time. Final ly the cat grabbed the snake by the back of the n**ck and shook it considerably. Mr. Fleming then came to the rescue and killed the snoke wbh a stick. A few days afier, the Ikll on the cat began to rng again in the front yard. Miss Flem ing went out and found that the cat was in another combat with n huge snake. The cat put the snake to rout, and as the snake attempted to run in at the door Mr Fleming killed it also with n stick. This \< a remarkable cat and one we ■would like to own.

It was in charge of Engineer Tom Elfe He came upon the freight suddenly and un expectedly. It had no business there and as soon as Engineer Elfe saw the freight he put on brakes, reversed his lever and 1 he and his fireman jumped safely from the engine. They escaped with only a few bruises. The Albany train contained i quite a number of passengers, several of whom were ladies. The collision was of i considerable force, but fortur .* >’ no one was severely hurt. FLORIDA. Ocala Star: A case is tv us of a man in t] c ~hrftd wid, who beats his wife. £.nd the neighbors say unless he desists he wu! eer into very serious trou ble and that rpeciiij . Say* Trni'Lrr" Lost 'Ton ey. Gainesville Sun: A truck farmer in j Gainesville, who is in a position to know, stated to the reporter yesterday, that it j was his opinion that the truckers did not | make a cent on the vegetable crops the past season, and he further stated that | many of them lost money. Heavy Tobacco Import*. The recent Importations of tobacco at Turn pa have almost swamped the Cue- j toms House force. They are considera bly behind in their appraisement, and the I manufacturers have to wait their turn, and sometimes it is several days before . they can g*t their tobacco. The* - * is a amount of it coming over now. but it is only the advance guard of the lot that will come over o few weeks later. Large Crop of Cassava. The crop of cassava around Sanford Is expected to he large. The cassava is row from three to five feet high. The Planter? Manufacturing Company has about 700 acres under cultivation, and all their plantations are in good condition. There are nlso nearly 500 acres more in cultiva tion in that section. Capt. B. O. Whitner has thirty-dive acres, which is growing finely. The Flankers’ Manufacturing Company employs a large number of men, This is the largest ond most extensive factory in Florida, ar.d its promoters are pushing, energetic men. Ornln Should Have It. Apopka Citizen: The Ocala people are addressing themselves very earnestly to the task of securing the capital. Ocala i the most central place in the state and ought to have the capital. Voters ought not to allow themselves to be deceived by the promise >f money for the capital Such promises are seldom kept. It is said that Atlanta promised s3.<io&.ono for the capital of Georgia, and paid nothing The j ought to select a place without any regard to bonuses, and then raise the money necessary by special taxation. From $1 to $5 from every taxpayer, in ad dition to the sum usually paid, and this for two or three years, would create an ample fund. NVn* Not Ell Hooker. Tampa Herald: Policeman W. T. Phil lips arrested a colored man Saturday aft ernoon on suspicion of being Eii Booker. This man is wanted at Paletka, charged with the murder of a young white man. and there is a reward of S6OO for the cap ture of the individual The man taken In charge by the patrolman answered the description of Booker in every way pos sible, the most minute details being pres ent, making the resemblance an almost fatal one. As soon as the arrest was made the officers nt Poiatka were noti fied and asked to send a man down to see if the mar. was ihe one wanted. An officer arrived last night and took a look nt eh* prisoner. He pronounced him not to be the man wanted, although he said the likeness was very striking. Heavy Cigar Shipment*. There w*re 531 cases of cigars shipped from Tnmpa last week. These cases con tained 2,705.00) cigars. For the corre sponding week last year there were 196 eases of cigars shipped. They contained 950.000 cigare. This is 335 cases less than were shipped last week axul 1,755,M0 cigars than were shipped at that time For the year there have been 13,470 cases of cigars shipped from Tampa. For the corresponding period of last year there were 9.991 cases shipped. The shipments for this year contained 68,680,000 cigars, while the last year’s shipments contained 19,955.000 cigars. This shows that this year there have been 15.725.C00 more clgnis shipped than for the corresponding period of last year. All manufacturers report a strong demand for cigars, in fact it is al most a feverish demand that nil orders now on file be placed. They say that they hardly ever experienced such im patience on the part of the jobbers. Tropical Garden*. The Government Tropical Gardens at Miami, under the care of Supr. Dean, are very promising, and the young plants (from the seed) are making a very satis factory growth. Prof. Fairchild of the United States Agricultural Department, who is Traveling in the Far East, has his ! eye upon this station, and when he finds j rare fruit, which he believes will be an | acquisition to this tropical section, sends ! seed to Mr. Dean. Already there are 1 plants from the Dutch East Indies, which | promise to thrive well in The Florida cll | mate. From Siam Mr. Dean has young | plants of fruit trees that give promise j of reaching maturity at an early day. He also has several varieties of young fruit trees from Honduras, also two wild pineapple plants. These pines grow wild : in the woods in Honduras, and are said to lx- of a very superior variety. A young lime tree from Chile is showing its adap tability to this climate and soil. Mr. Dean -hopes that it may fruit next season. An orange tree from Panama is putting on n most excellent growth.

Drought on the Atlantic Const Ha* Been Relieved. Washington, July 31.—The following Is the weekly Weather Bureau summary of crop conditions: The drought prevailing at the close of the previous week in the Atlantic coast districts has been wholly relieved by local rains, except in Southern Florida, and the week as a whole, in the district east of the Rocky mountains hos been one of highly favorable temperature conditions, with generally abundant moisture. The corn crop has made splendid prog ress during the week. Some early corn in the Carolines and Virginia has been permanently injured by drought, but late corn in these states is- promising. Over the eastern and western portions of th* cotton region there lias been a material improvement in the condition of cotton, but in the central districts it has suffered further from continued rains. In Texas the crop has been generally laid by in good condition, and is promising in many localities, while complaints of too rank growuh, light bolls, weevil and boll worms are reported. Some early tobacco has suffered perma nent injury from drought in Virginia and North Carolina, but elsewhere reports in dicate that the crop is in promising con dition, having been greatly benefited by rains during the past week.

Cotton shows steady improvement, but there is some complaint of rust and shed ding. In a few counties it is small, but is fruiting pretty well. Fodder pulling is in progress in some counties, and will soon be general. Pota toes, cane and all minor crops are doing well. Quite a number of farmers have taken advantage of the season to sow turnips and cabbage seed. Large shipments of peaches have been made from the northern counties and fruit is very good. In the. southern counties JH aches seem unsound and wormy. Grapes are plentiful and there will be a large yield of LeConte and Kieffer pears. Pastures are generally fine. Stock is in good condition.

The Commanding Officer Hn* Re ceived no Letter* From Member* 1 of the Regiment Relative to a Ten der of Service for Chinn Cum paijen—Col. Meldrim Expresses His Views I pon the Question of For- ! eign Wars and the Custom of Hast ening to Tender Service—Georgia Hussar* Nor Other Savannah Com mand* Have Taken Action Along Till* Line. No military command in Savannah has ever held a meeting to consider a tender of its services to the government for a campaign in China. The time has never appealed to the companies as ripe for eucn action. As no tender of service was made when it ceemed positive that oil foreign ministers in Pekin had been slain, it is extremely unlikely that anything looking toward a tender will be made, now that there seems to be every reason to believe the ministers safe. Should some radical change in the situation oc cur, resulting in the thorough arousing of the American people, services might be offered, but the Chinese problem ia j now, apparently, solving itself. Col. P. W. Meldrim of the First Reg iment, Cavalry, G. S. TANARUS., was asked yes terday if he had heard from any of the officers or men of his command relative to China service. His reply was in the negative. The question was induced by the story from Atlanta, that letters had been written Col. W. G. Obear, inspector general, expressing a desire on the part of fome of the cavalrymen to participate in the war in China, and to have Col. Obear at their head. Commenting upon the story. Col. Meldrim said: ‘‘l do not think that the First Cavalry is at all anxious to go to China. It is a body of citizen soldiery, ready to do its duty when called upon to discharge it, but not anxious to become engaged in war. In fact, there is no command less disposed to engage in any unnecessary conflict, and yet there is probably no command less disposed to pose as "rough riders.” Cer tain troops in the regiment are older than the state. The men ore not adventurers, or soldiers of fortune. They prefer to avoid war by all honorable means, but they will do their duty if the necessity for their service should arise. "I am utterly opposed to all this tender of service. If the general government should require troops from Georgia, there is a regular method of procedure! If a call If made upon this state ror n regiment of cavalry, the Governor will probably have the right to determine how he will comply with that demand by the general government. Gov. Candler, himself a sol dier. would be allowed *o name the field officers, and in that event anew regiment might be organized, or some arrangement might be made, whereby the present regi ment would be recruited up. and the full strength of a regiment In the regular army, say 1.200, thus attained. The com plete organiza tion then might be mustered Into the service. "Speaking for myself, I strongly hope, that there,will be no necessity for Amer ican blood to be shed on foreign soil.” The Georgia Hussars, the only Savan nah troop of the regiment, has never had the matter up in meeting. Some of the members of the troop have declared they would respond should a call for their ser vices be made, hut they are not making any grandstand plays jui?t at present. WAS A DAY OF SURPRISES.

Gallon—Rosins Firm and Unchanged—Cotton Quiet and Un changed—Local and Telegraphic Market*. Morning News Office, July 31. The feature of the markets to-day was the firmness of naval stores, which are being held at prevailing prices. While the demand from some sources was not as brisk as it has been, fac'tors did not see any discouraging signs for the market. It is the belief that conditions are such as to hold the market in firm position and to maintain present prices for a time. It was not understood that any business was done after the closing on a different basis from the official market. The cotton market closed quiet and unchanged, with nothing new' in the situation. The demand for spot cotton appears to he light at present, which leaves the field rather inactive. There is still some cotton offering, how ever. so that any who may enter the mar ket will not probably be disappointed in getting what they want. The wholesale markets were steady and active. In. the produce line prices are stiffening for fruits and other product, which is now a little scarce, thereby imparting strength to the market. Peaches have gone up some.being now quoted from 75c to $1.25 per six-basket carriers. The following resume of the different markets will show the ton© and quotations at the close to-day: COTTON. The cotton market closed quiet and un changed to-day. Receipts of 480 bales were reported, against non the same day last year. The receipts so far this sea son have been 1,080.187. against 1,082,529 same time last year. There is a small volume of business doing.

New York, July 31.—The cotton market opened at a decline of 306 points and con tinued generally weak throughout the ses sion, except during brief intervals of ral ly, caused by covering short contracts. Following the opening call there was a gradual decline until prices reached a level 5017 points under ihe closing fig ures of the previous day. All classes of traders appeared to be selling. The shorts displayed more confidence than has been seen here for some time past. July con tracts went out at about 9.05 c, having since the first trade shown an extreme change of 6.02 c and irt.2lc. Selling would have been more active but for the fear of manipulation in August cotton. One party with extensive foreign connec tions holds practically all the spot cot ton here. At the weakest period of to day’s session for futures there was some buying by conservative parties for a re action, upon the theory that the market had been oversold and had in that way become easily subject to any new bull ish influence that might arise. Factors in to-day’s decline were the 108 point decline in Liverpool, the favorable weekly crop bulletin from Washington; the generally bearish character of crop ac counts, unsatisfactory reports from cotton goods centers, continued indifference on the part of the speculative public, weak Southern spot market advices, full receipts, as far as they cut any figure, and a lack of public support. The market was finally quiet and steady at a net decline of 3011 points. FLUCTUATIONS IN FUTURES. New York, July 31.—Cotton futures opened steady at the decline and closed quiet and steady.

New York, July 31.—Murphy & Cos. say: Cotton in Liverpool closed 8-64rl below yesterday on old and 1-64 to 2-64d on new crop months. This matket ruling weak on old crop positions on long selling, .new crops rather easy on favorable weather reports. A prominent house in Atlanta, Ga. wires: "Crop condition in our sec tion not satisfactory, not fruiting well.” Dallas, Tex., wires: "Heavy rains re ported in some sections, but don’t think sufficient to do any harm.” The following is the government crop report: Weather over the eastern and western parts of the cotton belt has been such as to bring a material improvement in the condition of cotton, but in the cen tral districts it has suffered further from continued rains. In Texas the crop has been generally laid by in good condition and is promising in many localities, whi e complaints of too rank growth, light bods, weevil and boll worms are reported. DRY GOODS. New York. July 31.—A revision of prices in wide sheetings to a lower basis has been the chief feature to-day. in bleached cottons there is a steady de mand for moderate quantities at previ ous prices Brown cottons continued dull and irregular.

New York, July 31.—Some animation given to the closing dealings in the stock market to-day by the conflicting move ments of prices engendered by the upward spurt in Union Pacific and the realizing in Sugar. The break in Sugar proved the more effective in its influence, and closed weak at about the low level of the day, after having shown considerable gains in many stocks at an earlier period. The trailing was dull, and continued entirely in professional hands. The early strength was reflected to soma extent from the foreign e o?k markets, which showed decided relief over the re liable tenor of the news of the safety of the envoys in Pekin. The small com mit ments on the bear side put out yester day were* closed up, helping the rise. A number of statements of railroad net earn ings for June published over night were factors of strengih. This was notably true of the Pennsylvania report on ac count of the extern of the territory cov ered by its lines and the exceedingly va ried c haracter of its truffle, -which makes its statements valued as accurate condi tions in the general railroad world. The stock of the company advanced 1% under this influence, and the price was well held through the latter part of the mar ket, affording striking contrast to the in difference with which June reports of some other railroads were received. The large net increase shown by the Atchison system di<l rot avail to hold the stock, and Burlington efter rising a sharp fraction, fell below last night's level on realizing when Its statement appeared. The 2 per cent, semi-annual dividend of Union Pacific had been counted upon with certainty on account of the authoritative character of the promises made. A reac tion immediately followed by large and aggressive buying for inside interest, which carried ihe stock up 1%. This strength was ineffective in pulling up the rest of the list, in which the high level of the morning had been availed of to re new yesterday’s realizing movement. Sugar fell abruptly to 120%, an extrem# declire of 4 points, and American Tobac co suddenly dropp *d 3 points in sympathy. Metropolitan showed marked weakness and the whole list fell to the lowest, Un ion Pacific yielding a fraction. There was some evidence of a speculative contest be tween the frie.ids of Union Pacific and Baltimore and Ohio on account of the at tempt on the part of the bulls on Union Pacific and bears on Baltimore and Ohio to draw unfavorable comparisons between the price of Union Pacific and Baltimore and Ohio with dividend action f.et to be taken. Brooklyn Rnpid Transit continued rather active to-dey, but the movement was not wide, and the stock saved a frac tional net gain. There was a slightly firmer tone to sterling exchange to-day in spite of a shading of London discount rate. The question of gold exports this week remains undecided, with to-day’a conditions against the probability. The bond market was firmer to-day, but very dull. Total sales, par value, $982,000. United States refunding 2’s declined %. and the 3’s, old 4’s and s’# % at the last call to-day. Total sales of stocks to day were 209.- 400 shares, including Baltimore and Ohio. 8,375; Chicago, Burlington and Qulncey, 9.950; Pennsylvania, 14,010; Union Pacific, 32,960; American Steel and Wire. 6,045: American Tobacco, 105,851; Federal Steel, 8,150; Sugar, 59,035; United States Rubber, 5,082.
