GEORGIA SECTION.
For week ending Monday, May 23,
1898.
Atlanta, Georgia, May 24, 1898.
During the past week the sunshine
and temperature have averaged some
what above normal, while only parti
ally distributed showers have fallen.
Where rain has fallen a general im
provement :5 noted, but oCCr most o(
the State crops are showing ill effects
ot drouth. Cotton and corn have made
some improvement, and the ffeids are
clean and in excellent condition to re
ceive the full effects ot good rains which
are badly needed. Wheat and oats
are being harvested in many counties
and the yield of wheat is universally
good, while oats are poor in a few local
ities. The outlook for peaches is ex
cellent, but pears and apples are a fail
ure in the majority of counties. Pas
tures and gardens are suffering for rain.
The ground is very hard and dry, and
many farmers have stopped work until
rain comes to moisten up the soil.
The weather during the week has
been favorable to growing crops and
general farm work in the central coun
ties, and a general improvement is
noticed in the condition ot corn and
cotton. Gardens are needing rain
badly. Only light local showers have
fallen and good warm rains are wanted.
Chopping cotton and plowing corn pro
gressed favorably. Sugar cane is doing
nicely and watermelons are coming on
well. Some farmers are cutting wheat
and the crop is turning out well. Some
are also harvesting oats. Fruit outlook
flattering, and the peach crop will be
very large notwithstanding a great
many peaches have fallen and some
are still dropping.
COTTON.
New York,Wednesday, M^y25,1898.
Dear Sir:—With the appearance
of warmer, clear weather over the cot
ton belt, accompanied by showers
where needed, except in sections ot
Southern Alabama and Georgia in
which rain would be beneficial, the
crop has improved. Locally the market
has been under the influence of the
covering of the short interest in August,
and the execution of many orders
emanating apparently from the same
source, lias alarmed those who have
been influenced by the war and crop
reports, into covering their short sales.
Efforts however, to attract peculation
to cotton have not yet proved success
ful, as shown by the discounts on new
crop deliveries, as there is no scarcity
o( coitcn this year. In fact it is well
known that the spinners throughout
the world hold- the largest stocks on
record. Therefore some reduction in
the supply, through a reduced crop
next season must occur to furnish a
substantial basis for a further advance.
The crop is not made yet and many
contingencies may arise to reduce the
yield below the. consumption, but up to
tiie present time there is no indication
that the acreage has been reduced ns
in 1895, or thnt the weather has been
ps bad as it was that season. Never
theless the conditions of trade in
America are better than in that year,
though the foreign markets have j\t to
eneounter the effect of high priced
bread*tuffs. which in other days initiat
ed against cotton. The natural effect
6? a reduced supply will be felt in the
new crop deliveries, and in them will
we first notice the appearance of outside
interest in the market.
A: the present time the disposition
iij the South if to sell these new crop
deh\ Hj-ieg on the crop outlook, but every
one rea.iz-s that should we have bad
wemh-r later, on, the prospect ot an
advancing market would attract a large
amour.: o! trading. Now, there is no
general business; the market is a nar
row one, and opinions cannot be form
ed as to tlie daily range or tendency ot
prices, as they are not under the con
trol of logical reasoning based on crop
and trade conditions, but are due to
local trading on both sides ot the ac
count, with the intention of bringing
cotton to the notice of outside peo
ple, Yours very truly,

—Valdosta Times.
Her Gracious Majesty Queen Victo
ria celebrated her seventy-ninth birth
day yesterday, and, as usual, various
demonstrations of joy were made by
her loyal subjects in this country, in
which many Americans heartily joined.
Events, however, have happened and
are happening daily to invest this day
of the British honor with more than a
merely social importance. Whether
by design or accident, Great Britain
and the United ates are drifting slow
ly but surely together. The signifi
cance ol a final union ot interests was
for the first time yesterday made the
keynote of the usual Queen's birthday
oratory. Mr. Whitelaw Reid spoke
eloquently cn the topic at the dinner
of the British School and Universities
Club, and remarks in a similar strain
are reported from other cities.
It remained, however, for the offi
cers of the United States encampment'
at Tampa to pay the highest compli
ment to the day and the sentiment it
evoked. General Shatter, his staff'and
comrades in arms seem to have gone
out of their way to do honor to the
sovereign lady, not only by sending
her a cable of congratulation, to which
they received a kind reply, but by
firing a royal salute, dressing the ships
in the harbor, by modelling their menu
after the hearty British fashion, nam
ing their dishes after Her Majesty and
dining under the Union Jack and Stars
and Stripes.
How strange all this would have
seemed a few years ago ! How natur
ally and properly it comes now, when
new dangers beget new triends and new
navies develop new policies!—N. Y.

Battleships and Cruisers,
The average citizen has no clear
idea of the difference between a battle
ship and a cruiser and between a pro
tected cruiser and an' unprotected
cruiser. It is well for him to know at
this time.
Battleships are vessels built for the
heaviest fighting. They are designed
to bear the brunt of naval conflicts.
The chief aim in the construction ot a
battleship is to give it as much offen
sive and defensive power as possible
for a ship of its size, combined with a
reasonable rate of speed. Speed, how
ever, is sacrificed to power in a battle
ship. With its thick armor, its heavy
and numerous guns, and its complicat
ed framework it is impossible to give a
battleship capacity for such speed as
lighter fighting craft must have.
The coal capacity ot a battleship is
limited in comparison with that of a
cruiser, ns the battleship is not expect
ed to make as many or as long voyages.
The primary duty of a battleship is to
fight.
Cruisers are built much lighter than
battleships. While they may be well
protected and carry guns ot great pow
er they must be built for speed also.
They udt as scouts ahead of a fleet or
squadron and play upon the commerce
ot the enemy. For this reason they
must be able' to travel very fast. A
cruiser must also have a coal capacity
which fits her tor very long voyages.
Weight of battery and armor are sacri
ficed to speed in her construction. Still
the first-class modern cruiser is a very
formidable fighting machine* In bat
tle her ninbleness gives her an advant
age not possessed by a battleship.
A protected cruiser has a curved
deck of steel over her engines and boil-
er&. Her coal bunkers are also arrang
ed so as to give protection. Two feet
of coal are equal as a defense to one
inch of the best armor.
An armored cruiser is covered in all
her exposed parts with an armor
which, though much lighter than that
of battleships, gives great protection.
Our fastest cruisers have no armor.
. Their armament is light, consisting of
only one 8-inch gun and several small
er rapid-lire guns. We have two such
cruisers, the Columbia and the Minne
apolis, and they have n speed respect
ively of 22 and 23 knots an hour.
The difference between the unarmor*
ed cruiser and a first class battleship
may be understood by a comparison of
these vessels with the Massachusetts.
The latter has eighteen inches of Haw-
eyized steel armor on her sides, seven
teen inches on the barbettes from which
her guns protrude and sixteen inches
on her turrets. This armor gives pow
erful protection and it would require a
well aimed shot to penetrate such a bat
tleship except at comparatively close
nnge.
i he Massachusetts and other first-
class battleships are slow* in compari
son with the armored cruisers, the limit
of their speed being about sixteen
knots. But when it comes to fighting
they are holy terror, as we expect to
see Admiral Sampson prove very soon

number of sinking spells and slowly grew
worse. I began using Dr. Miles' Restorative
Nervine and Nerve and Liver Pills. At first
the medicine seemed to have no effect, but
after taking a few bottles I began to notice
a change; I rested better at night, my appe

PLANS TO GOYERH
THE PHILIPPINES.
From theN. Y. Herald.
Major General Merritt, who is to g®
to the Philippine Islands as military
governor, is expected to govern them
under martial law until Congress
decides what shall finally be done with
them.
There is little doubt that they will be
permanently held by the United States.
In view of the jealousy existing among
European nations many Senators and
Representatives believe that it will be
more difficult to relinquish control of
the Philippines than to hold them.
In view of this belief some consider
ation is already being given to the pro
blem of devising a civil government
for the islands when the war is ended.
The extension or the territorial system
of the United States to the Philippines
is out of the question,as it will bea.great
many years before the inhabitants are
Capable of any degree of self-govern
ment.
The proposition that seems to meet
most favor is to have the government j
of the islands administered by a Board |
of three Commissioners, to be composed '
ot two civilians and one officer of tiie'
United States army, as in the District
of Columbia. When tiie number of
Americans in the islands increases suf-
ficently, a very limited from of popular
government might to be in roduced
to be expanded in the future.
Tariff taxes are to be collected by
military authority and are to be turned
into the Treasury of the United States.
As the war progresses, the same system
of collecting taxes is to be applied to
such Spanisli t%rritory as may be oc
cupied, thus compelled the conquer
ed territory to aid in defraying the ex
penses of the war.
Until such time as Congress shall
take action formally annexing the
Philippines or any other conquered
Spanish territory to the United States,
all goods coming from such territory
will be taxed at United States
custom houses just the same as goods
from other countries.

••A Shaker girl cuine- very near the
poet’s ideal in all the sweet endowments
ot maidenhojd,” writes Madeline S.
Bridges of the Shakers of Mount Le
banon. New York, in the June Ladies’
Home Journal. “She is frank, modest,
gentle, refined in voice and movement,
and with that utter unconsciousness ot
sell as rare as it is delightsome in this
age of self-assertive femininity. The
Shaker boy—but why speak of impos
sibilities?' I w ill not say that no Shaker
was ever a boy, but I fifmly incline to
think that no hoy ever was a Shaker.
The growing youths at Lebanon were
hearty and healthy as outdoor air and
exercise could make, (hem, and fllii £>/
iuu and mischief—the exuberant vi-
iality tlrnl makes itself heard and seen
•—this in striking coiitia?t to the ex
treme. quietude and precision of the
grown-up members.
‘•It is sometimes asked how Shakers
a m;se themselves. A pertinent an
swer would be that they do net appear
to feel the need of amusement, because
their days and hours are so full ot inter
est. Nevertheless,such need is provided
lor,two evenings in the week being set
apart tor social pleasure, conversation,
music, recitation, reading aloud, etc.,
in which both sexes participate. In
summer pleasure outdoor reunions are
held.
S. C. P. Jones, Milesburg, Pa.,
writes:—“I have used DeWitt’s Little
Early Risers ever since they were in
troduced here and must say I have
never u ; ed any pills in my family dur

the worst cases.

impossible to dross him
for three years. His
head and body were a
mass of sores, and his
eyesight also became
affected. No treatment
was spared that we
thought would relieve
him. out he grew worse iF
