"Such a thing as a particular season for any kind of vegetables in our prin cipal markets is at this’ time practical ly unknown, and it is now possible to draw upon the different sections of the country and receive at any season of the year nearly all of the standard va rieties of vegetables. In the late au tumn and early spring Florida and the Southern st ates furnish the supply for the Northern markets, until the ad vancing season (which moves north ward at the rate of about fifteen miles per day) matures the crops through the Eastern and central states; these states supply the midsummer and autumn markets until the frosts of winter once more compel a return to the South, where a fresh crop is at the command of the market.” El, SIGO LAI'SCHED.

Berlin, Aug. 3.—Emperor William's sudden decision to abandon his pro gramme to Visit Emden, Hamburg and other places owing to the news from Freldrichshof, about tHe health of the Dowager Empress Frederick, attracts much attention here. It is known that His Majesty anticipated with the keen est interest welcoming Field Marshal von Waldersee personally, on the lat ter s return from China, intending to make the ceremonies great patriotic occasions. The Emperor’s abandon ment of the plans is, therefore, regard ed as meaning that the condition of his mother is most serious. Prof. Renvers was at Friedrichshof this week and made a much longer stay there than usual. The Taunusbote, a local news paper of the vicinity, said yesterday that the condition of Empress Freder ick had recently grown much worse. The tariff bill continues to be dis cussed in a lively manner. It is generally recognized that much depends on the attitude of the South German cabinets, and during the past few days the semi official utterances there have taken the cue of the North German Gazette, that the bill is only tentative. But it is regarded as certain that South German official" desire considerable changes. Regarding the bill’s chances in the Reichstag, it is everywhere recognized that the balance of power will rest with the Centrist party. Therefore the non-Centrist press this week has been eagerly watching for indications to the Centrists attitude. The Centrist pa pers, however, carefully abstained from committing themselves. But, now, the Cologne Volks Zeitung prints an edi torial which is being telegraphed all over the country, coming out strongly for the tariff bill. The editorial admits that some dutiefe may be changed and some, perhaps, further increased: but the Centrists are ready to support the measure substantially in its present form. INTERCESSION FAILED. Charleston Commercial Doilies Not Likely to Accomplish Mueh by At tempted Mediation In Machinist Strike on Southern. Charleston, S. C., Aug. 3.—Some time ago the striking machinists of Charles ton appealed to the commercial bodies of the city to unite in an effort to ad just the differences which existed be tween themselves and the Southeri# Railway Company. The presidents of the Chamber of Commerce, Cotton Ex change. the Merchants Exchange and the Young Men’s Business League gladly lent their good offices with this end in view. They drew up and for warded through Vice President Gan non to President Spencer of the South ern a petition soliciting a conference at which they might be allowed to set forward the claims of the strikers in the best possible light. President Spen cer has just replied to this communi cation. He shows the strike situation from its inception in a dispassionate manner, and expresses his willingness to discuss this or any other subject with the commercial bodies of Charles ton at length, but he declines to offi cially recognize the strikers, and holds out comparatively little hope to them of regaining their status with the Southern Railway. It seems to be more than ever evi dent that the Southern Railway offi cials have spoken their final word up on the subject of the strike, and their men who are reinstated will have to recede from the attitude taken by the union, and appeal to the company pure ly in the light of individual workmen. VIRGINIA’S CONVENTION. Last Session Before Hecess a Short One. Richmond, Va.. Aug. 3. —The Consti tutional Convention was in session nearly an hour and a half to-day, and then adjourned to meet at noon on Aug. 22. The chief business disposed of was the adoption of a resolution offered by Mr. Gillespie from the Committee on Privilege and Elections, calling for the returns from Cold Harbor precinct, in Hanover county, to be brought here and recounted in the contest of Treat vs. Gregory for a seat in the conven tion. There was a very pretty fight over the proposition. Chairman Harrison and many of the Democrats of the commit tee opposir% it, on the ground that the' result could not be altered, only five votes being involved and that the ex pense was for that reason wholly un necessary. Mr. Withers submitted a report on behalf of the majority of the Commit tee on Reduction of Expenses, enlarg ing the jurisdiction of school superin tendents and decreasing the number of such officers in the state. A minor ity view of the matter was presented by Mr. Waddill. ALABAMA CONVENTION. The Snftrnge Clause Still the Object of Discussion. Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 3.—Only eighty-five members were present at roll call in the Constitutional Conven tion to-day. Delegate Smith of Mobile offered an ordinance excusing from the payment of all licenses and taxes ali Confederate soldiers who may have lost an eye, arm or leg in the Civil War. The Lowe substitute for the majority suffrage! report was ' then taken up. The substitute omits the grandfather clause and makes the chief require ment for voting that those under 45 years of age shall pay a poll tax of $3 for school purposes and those over 45, $1.50. Mr. Bank of Russell, protested as a black belt Democrat against the ma jority report, declaring it gave no re lief from conditions in his section The negroes could still come in and vote, he said, and at the same time it would make negro labor dissatis fied and restless. He ventured to say that in two years the white counties would be Republican and the black belt would be at their mercy. Boer* Capture a Train. London, Aug. 3.—A letter from a sol dier in South Africa dated Nylstroom, Transvaal Colony, July 6. says the Boers wrecked a train near Naboom spruit July 4.

Plucky Woman Faces Mob and Pro tects Her Hoarders. Pittsburg, Aug. 3.—A Wellsville, 0., dispatch says: Deeply enraged by being outwitted by the mill officials who yesterday af ternoon succeeded in running nine new mill workers into the mill, the strikers became desperate last night and as serted that no more accessions must be made to the mill workers. Accordingly more than a hundred of them guarded both entrances to the mill all night. They made extra effort to be vigilant when the midnight train from Pitts burg came to town, but were unable to locate any more strike breakers. About 2 o'clock this morning they went to the house of a mill worker named Harry Phillips. Phillips’ wife boards three of the men who came here a few days ago to work at the mill. The strikers pelted the house with stones, breaking nearly all the windows and demanded that the mill men who were boarding there come out. Several shots were fired with re volvers by the men, but no one was hurt. Mrs. Phillips is a plucky woman, and armed with a gun, she went out into the crowd of strikers and dared them to touch her. She then took the men who were boarding with her, in cluding her husband, to the mill, she walking beside them with a loaded re volver in her hand, and at the same lime daring' the strikers to Interfere. She got the four men inside the mill and then turned and put the mob, as she calls them, to rout. Shortly after noon the proprietor of the house swore out warrants, charg ing twenty-seven members of the Amalgamated Association with riot. Organizer Evans’ name is included,in the affidavit. Of the men named in the affidavit and on the list handed by Phillips to the Mayor, Edward Price, Richard Rumbaugh, William Elmer Moore, Charles Peturs, Frank Adams, Jay Davis and District Organizer George Evans have been placed under arrest. Adams and Evans were re leased on SSOO bond for a (Preliminary hearing to be held on Aug. 14. The re mainder are still in jail, but the Amalgamated leaders are working hard to secure ball for them, but so far without success. The informations were made by Phillips at the request of the American Sheet Steel Company. Sheriff Morgan of this county has two deputies on the ground to-night to as sist the local police In maintaining order. IDLE MILLS PICKETED. Strikers Warn Negroes Not to Take Their Places. Cleveland, Aug. 3.—As a result of the report that negroes are being brought into the city to supplant white work men at the Newburg Mills of the United States Steel Corporation, the idle plants are now being picketed by members of the Amalgamated Asso ciation. Five plants are now fdle, the company having recently closed down the 9-, 12- and 18-inch mills for the announced purpose of making repairs. The pickets late last night found a dozen negroes asleep near the New burg mills. Upon being aroused the negroes said they had no intention of going to work. They were, however, unable to give a good account of them selves. They were advised that their presence might cause Double and that they had better leave the city at once. The negroes lost no time in getting out of town. BRUNSWICK BRIEFS. Ilrunaaick and Birmingham Express Company Organized.

Corn Crop Nothing Extra Near Tal lahassee—Other Yields Good. Tallahassee, Fla., Aug. 3.—There are very few farmers In this section brag ging on their corn crops. While there has been an abundance of rain It was not properly distributed to be bene ficial to the corn crop.

St. Paul, Aug. 3.—The Pioneer Press to-morrow will say: Robert BaAler, manager of the Rus so-Chlna Bank of Pekin, representa tive of the Russian government and manager of the Manchurian railway, who is In St. Paul, Is said to be con nected with a tremendous scheme of railway construction, designed to unite Alaska and Siberia and furnish rail and water connections between Circle City and Vladlvostock, the eastern ter minus of the trans-Siberian railway, at a cost of • $200,000,000. The enteprise, it Is said, has the backing of the Bank of France, and powerful money Interests In the United States. It Is to be essentially a French-Ameri can undertaking, for which capital is already in sight, should it prove feasi ble, and in which it was talked in rail way circles to-day, James J. Hill is to become interested. The length of the proposed railroad from Circle City to Bering Sea will be about 2,000 miles, and from the coast of Siberia to Vlad ivostock 1,800 miles.

Emperor William to He I rued to Visit St. Louis Fair. St. Louis, Aug. 3.—A strong effort is being made to induce Emperor Wil liam of Germany to visit the Louis iana Purchase Exposition in 1903. Mr. John Schroers, a World's Fair direc tor and a leader among the Germans in St. Louis, is at the hertd of the movement. While only the initial and informal steps have been taken by Mr. Schroers, the way has been paved for government action, with an opportu nity for success. Among the interesting suggestions received at the World’s Fair head quarters during the week was one by a prominent colored resident, urging the erection of a building on the grounds in which could be shown the progress of the negro race during the past forty years. ‘There can be exhibited,” says he, "in an unbroken chain, the develop metn of the negro from his barbaric state in Africa to his present high so cial attainments in this country. Let negro architects design the building; let negro builders rear the structure; let negro artists decorate and negro managers direct superintend it. I feel assured that It will justify the out lay and will prove a creditable offering to the world’s achievements. THE PHILLIPS SUSPENSION. Old Stockholder* and Director* Be ing Forced Ont. Chicago, Aug. 3.---Stockholders and directors of the George H. Phillips Company are being forced out of office and out of any financial interest in the concern. Besides Abel D. Osman, for merly secretary of the company, Jos eph L. Bauman, who was taken into the firm on its reorganization on June 7, after the conclusion of the May corn deal, is no longer connected with It. Bauman had a big line of May corn and traded in all the grain pits after that deal was over. Mr. Phillips was seen to-night and confirmed the impression that the re tiring stockholders had sacrificed their interests by getting on the wrong side of the market. “Osman had SIO,OOO of stock, while Bauman had $25,000 worth," said Mr. Phillips. “Both speculated and lost the amount of the stock and somtehlng more. They put their stock into the treasury to square their accounts, be ing univHling or unable to put In cash. The company soon will be doing busi ness again. There is no question about it; probably it will be under the same name. It will probably take a week to straighten out the books. No other stockholders are indebted to the com pany. President Collins, Mr. Hill and myself are the heaviest creditors.” DOUGLAS MENTION. Preparation* Being Made for An nual Camp Meeting. Douglas, Ga., Aug. 3.—Judge M. L. Mershon of Sanford, Fla., with his family, arrived in Douglas to-day and will be domiciled at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. S. O. Turventine.

Douglas extends to him and his estimable family a warm welcome. Joe Swayne, colored, to-day in the City Court pleaded guilty to the charge of escape and having satisfied the court that prior to his escape in 1897 he -was a model prisoner, Judge Dart only gave him six months additional to the four months he lacked of completing his old sentence.

The dif ficulty grew out of domestic trouble GUBERNATORIAL COMMENT. What the State Paper* Are Saying About Candidate*. Dublin Courier Dispatch: One thing to be said In favor of Col. J. H. Estill for governor, he has made a success of all of his private ventures. Americus Herald: Col. J. H. Estill of the Savannah Morning News has announced his candidacy for the Dem ocratic nomination for governor, and this settles all speculation concerning him. This will probably prevent Mr. Turner from entering the race. Waycross Herald: Col. Estill’s an nouncement will doubtless meet with a warm reception throughout the state, and if elected we are quite sure that he will be the governor of the entire state, and a good one at that. That Col. Estill will develop strength . in Middle and Upper Georgia we are firm ly convinced, and as South Georgia’s candidate he should, and doubtless will, carry his own section. Americus Times-Recorder: Col. Es till seems to be squarely in the race for Governor, and his thousands of friends in all parts of Georgia are rally ing to his standard. Adel News: Col. J. H. Estill Is now considered squarely in the race for Governor. While he is not a politician himself, he has political backers who will wage a vigorous campaign in his behalf. It is a little early to make predictions or line up for the fray, but many things can be said in behalf of his candidacy, while we don’t know anything that can be said against him. Carroll Free Press: If Col. J. H. Es till should be nominated for Governor no doubt he would edit the state as well as he has that great paper of his, the Savannah Morning News. But South Georgia must get together and united on a favorite son, or a man from some other section may steer the ship of state. Elberton Star: If the best man comes from South Georgia he ought to be elected. Barnsville New r s: It seems that Col. J. H. Estill of the Savannah Morning News is sure to enter the gubernatorial race next year. South Georgia is cer tain to put forward a man and no stronger one can be selected than Col. Estill. Sandersville Herald: Gov. Estill looks well in print, sounds well, and we doubt not the Colonel who has administered the momentous affairs of the state press so well and wisely will make a strong race if, as has been stated, he enters the gubernatorial campaign. Oglethorpe Echo: The race for Gov ernor Is destined to be one of the most interesting Georgia has had in many years. There seems to have developed some state sectional feelings in the matter. This should not be. Men is what we need and section nor meas ures create these. Let’s elect the best man. Merriwether Vindicator: Col. J. H. Estill of the Savannah News, is an nounced as a straight out candidate for Governor. He is a good man, a true Democrat and no better business man can be found. Next to Joe Terrell we would gladly support Col. Estill for the nomination. Cordele Sentinel: When the next governor-elect takes up his abode in' Atlanta, he will hail from South Geor gia. We might name the town, but we will wait awhile on that. West Point News: Col. J. H. Estill is squarely in the race for Governor. Georgia would never regret having him serve in that capacity. Covington Enterprise: Col. J. H. Es till, proprietor of the Savannah Morn ing News, is squarely in the race for Governor. The Colonel is strong in South Georgia and popular with all classes. With his advent into the ring it is not believed that any other South Georgia man will come out. Cuthbert Leader: MaJ. G. M. Ryals of Savannah, while in Atlanta the other day, made the announcement that Col. J. H. Esflll would be a can didate for Governor. Col. Estill is pro prietor of the Savannah Morning News and a man of ability and considerable influence. Rome Tribune: . Col. J. H. Estill’s friends are going to make a strong pull to land him in the Governor’s chair. Cedartown Standard: Col. J. H. Es till, the versatile editor of the Savan nah News, is being urged to enter the race for Governor. He would fill,that exalted office well. Americus Times-Recorder: MaJ. G. M. Ryals, in an interview! in Atlanta, asserts positively that Col. J. H. Es till, editor of the Savannah News, will be a candidate for Governor. He is one of Georgia's very ablest men. Bulloch Times: It is plain, that if more than one candidate South Georgia runs, both will get left. We suggest, therefore, or rather insist, thsu the Democrats from the First, Second and Eleventh Congressional Districts meet at some central point, say Waycross, and select the candidate. Darien Qazette: Hon. William G. Brantley has declined to make the rave for Governor, but wants a South Georgia man nominated. Estill Is the man. FIGURING PROMINENTLY. Col. EatiU'* Candidacy Snbjert of Wide Dlacnaaiou at Capitol. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 3.—The name of Col. J. H. Estill of Savannah is figur ing prominently in the discussion at the Capitol over the governorship. There are few here who think that Hon. Henry G. Turner will enter the race, and the belief Is expressed that Col. J. H. Estill will be indorsed as the candidate of South Georgia. "He would make a splendid Governor,” said a Capitol official to-day, speaking of Col. Estill. "I do not know of any man who has been mentioned who could fill the Governor’s chair better than he. In my opinion, the people of South Georgia will unite upon him. and he will make a strong race." The gentleman quoted is one of the fore most officials at the Capitol and has taken quite an interest recently in state political affairs. Similar expres sions have been heard from other sources here, and there is no doubt that Col. Estill’s candidacy Is being taken into most earnest consideration. Grateful Nniii In Kunaua.

Washington, Aug. 3.—Recently many complaints have reached the Postof fice Department from residents of Montgomery county, Georgia, regard ing the rural free delivery service. An effort was made some time ago to have a rural free delivery route established at Mount Vernon in that county. An inspector was sent there by the Postof flce Department and after carefully looking over the proposed route he re ported adversely to Mr. Clarke, the chief special agent in charge of the Southern Division. * When 1 brought the matter to Mr. Clarke's attention to-day he talked very freely of the service generally in Georgia and particularly in Mr. Brant ley's district. “Unfortunately in Con gressman Brantley’s district," Mr. Clarke went on to say, “conditions have been found so unfavorable for the establishment of services that we have been unable to take action on many of the routes petitioned for. In addition to the thinly settled nature of the country and bad roads, we have been unable to find a sufficient number of people in one neighborhood who are able to read, write and who Teceive mail to any degree. There are a lot of colored people who don’t take newspapers or in fact any mail at all. The department has given sufficient orders to the agent in charge to take up matters in Mr. Brantley's district. Just as soon as he completes his present assignment which will only take a few days longer, he will again make a careful study of the condltons in Montgomery county and other parts of the districts. He will then report to the department, and we will be guided in all our action# ac cordingly.” “Other Georgia congressmen," con tinued Mr. Clarke, “are thinking them selves neglected In the matter of rural free delivery. Mr. Bartlett of the Sixth district was in to see me yesterday I with a long list of applications which I he had transmitted to the department. He showed me the acknowledgements with all the tell-tale Initials to indi cate that the matters had been laid before me, and that all the facts in the case were absolutely in possession of the department. He said that he was not getting the same show in this mat ter as his fellow congressmen. In point of fact, however, the Interest in rural free delivery has become so general in Georgia that representatives from each of the dis tricts make similar complaints. Mr. Arnold, who is the inspector in Geor gia, is one of the most efficient men under my authority. He has reported more routes than any other Inspector; he knows how to get at the facts in the cuse. and I have learned to place | full confidence in all reports he makes. This department endeavors to show no partiality in rural free delivery service as between any of the Georgia con gressmen and we want to establish all the routes that are practicable." * Midway Day at (lie Pun.

O'Quinn, the newly elected president of the Statesboro Normal Institute and Business College is here making pre parations for the fall term, begin ning Sept. 2. The prospects for a large opening continue very flattering. Prof. O’Quinn has assurance of at least one hundred boarding pupils. Besides ’ a large number from this and surround ing counties many of his old pupils will follow him from several counties in the southern part of the state, where he has taught recently. A number of new boarding houses are being opened for the accommoda tion of pupils. High salaried teachers have been employed and the equip ment for excellent work in the new academy is particularly good. Besides the good outlook for the Instltue, the Southeastern Business College has opened exceedingly well for anew en terprise. There are twenty students enrolled already and by Sept. 1 thirty five will have entered. With these two schools Statesboro'has the best educa tional facilities oi any town of its size in the state. Mr. Moth Hendrix, the old man, ten miles above here, who tried to kill him self some weeks ago by sawing on his neck with a dull pocket knife, is said to be dying from the wound. He was critical yesterday evening and his death was momentarily expectejl. The continuous hot weather of the past ten days has had a wonderfully good effect upon crops, especially cot ton. While the reports that have been given out are no doubt too optimistic, yet the fact remains that the crop will be far more abundant than has been expected all the year. Corn is the Shortest of all, yet some think as much will be rrade as was gathered last year. Dr. Hertz ‘.eft for Athens this morn ing with samples of resin taken from pine trees under different circum stances aad conditions. He will ana lyze them Monday and return them Tuesday. By some of his methods he Is obtaining virgin dip from third-year boxes, and while the method as It Is now used seems slow, yet the superiority of the resin ought to more than repay for the seeming slowness. * PUT COW IN POUND.
