vrtt ot (A* &l8hape that have
cojtfio to your soul jis a result of our
neglect of early duty. You may try
to undo it; you cunimt undo It. When
you had a boy'a arms and a boy's eyes
and a l?oy's heart you ought to have
attended to those things. A man Hays,
at ftt) years of age, "I wish I could
get over I hesc hahits of Indolence,"
When dl<1 you get them? At 20 t>r
years of age. You cannot shake them
off. They will haiiK to y<>u to the
very day of your ileiith. It' a young
man thfough a long course of evil eon
duet undermines his physical hclath,
ii nd then repent of It In aft- r life, the
l.ord may pardon him. l>ot that do< -s
not bring back good physical coiidl
tlons. I said to a minister of the gos
pel, one Sabbath, at tin* elose of the
service. "Where are you preaching
now 7" "< >h," he says, "I am not
preaching. I am Buffering from the
physical effects of early sin. I can't
preach now; I ant sick." A consecra
ted man he now Is. ami In- mourns
bitterly over curly sins, but that does
not arrest their bodly effects.
The simple fact is, that nu n ami wo
men often take ??'<) years of their life
lo hulld tip Influences that retpilre all
the r si of their life to Itnak down
Talk about a man hcKinning life when

it is a matter of guesswork, in; It

Ill this coiineel 1 1 1 1 1 we arc pleased to
imte 1 1 1 e lact that tin depart uu-nt of
if: r icii 1 1 nre which has paid a Km id deal

"While it Is somewhat like the plan

differs i Ssi lit i;i lly from their plan, in
that it eiiaiiles the depu rt men I to sep

giving i a eh Slate and Territory credit
for ils own pi od tic I ion, ami also In
uiving out the toial production of
the country in time to he of si'mc
hem-tit to the planters in their future
operation^. Heretofore the planters
have had no means of kuowiiiK what
their total protlu tioti was until eight
months after the t>a t hcring ol ( hi*
crop, tie- commercial statistics show'

planters study the crop statistics and
take advantage of the information
I In -y furnish is illu:.;tra ted by I he in
sults of the past I i \* i * years. The civp
of IVMM.H. for instance a tin m n t -d to
over s. ?;:???. una bales, the largest crop
. \er proilin'ctl up to that lime, and I.
.1 tii. i rn bales in excess of a i.v previous
year. The result of this al smi
plus w as that cotton daclim d abont
I J ecu t s a pound, Yet In spite of
this the very m-xi year tlMH-Iti) they
increased their acreage to so great
an extent that the crop yielded over

aKain declim-d i.vcr 1 1-4 cents. This
jiri at increase In acreage and produe
1 1 1 1 was no iloubt dm- to iKiiorance on
the part of the planters as to the
amount of cotton pr-iduc ?! the year
before I s'.mi ;i| When the facts became
known the planters profited by it, as
is shown in tin- ureat falling off In

most any kind of ? showing, declatv him
guilty and sent one ? him to tho penitenti
ary, doing away wllh tho constitutional
right of a trial by Jury which Is guaran

this p dley, Win. Kheppard, and ex llquor
dealer. was jerked up here yesterday be
foro Circuit Judge Towns, n. I. Ills attor
noy made a brilliant fight for tho pre
servation of ihc constitutional right. This
afternoon about 5 o'clock tho Judgo rend

Shepinrd guilty of contempt and sentenc
ing him to 8 months Imprisonment In the
State penitentiary and lo pay a duo of

warrant for arrest and commitment was
placed In tho hands of l.tcpior Constable

times before another report was hoard.
Tho constables say that I'lioy called on
Sheppard to surrender. that lie refused to
do so. whipped out two pistols and began
to lire at Constable Speed. Speed'* hand
iinl to ek were grazed by bullets. Con
stal'le Jenkins, who was using two pistols,
also had his neck grazed by a bullet.

The constables tell a different story of

called on Sheppard to surrender. Shep
pard told him lie would not and pulled
two pistols, tiring at him twice before he
could got his own pistol out. Then lie
says Sheppard dodged behind a screen
and kept up bin tiring. Jenkins and the
others fired In from the out Hide. When
Sheppard fell, he walked out and as bo

again. Jenkins Jells a story agroeing
with Speed In essential particulars. Shop,
pard's two pistols, >vhen taken from him
along with a razor, showed a total of only
four empty chambers.
Sheppard is an old liquor dealer, but
tho evidence adduced at tho hearing yes.
terday was to the effect that ht had given
UP the business as soon a? the injunction
was passed upon him. He was arrested
today for violating the dispensary. Con.
slderable excitement was occasioned by
tho shooting. Attorney General Harbor

There Is an entirely new brand of
watermelon in the market, and the
heart of (lie wholesale denier Is glad
in i onset|in nee. The aggregate loss
from melons Inoken In handling has
amounted to a considerable sum every
season, ami the dealer# have been
I ?raying for the evolution of a bullet
proof, Iron-elud variety that can
stand some little handling without
falling to pieces. ,
At last such a kind has been ' pro
duct <1 by {? judicious blending of two
well known varieties ? t ho "Nlgger
heail" and the "Gem." The result has
been remarkable. A watermelon hits
been grown with a tough exterior. It
can be thrown around like a cannon
ball without much material Injury. It
is darker than usual, and Is more bul
lions. It Is sweet to the palate and
fragrant to the smell. It Is grown
in Florida, but next season It will bo
raised in all the ldg melon-producing
States,
One of this kind of melons was
show n yesterday to a reporter of
the New Y??i k Times by William IT.
Mini s of the firm of I lines & Mnns
ih'ld, Washington and Chambers
streets. Mr. Mines has been handling
v\ a tei melons for several decades and
is a recognized authority on the ques
tion of melons. Mr. Mines trundled
one along with his foot, and then, as
an evidence of its durability, pro
ceeded to cut it in half with the aid
of a big saw. The interior of tho
melon was as hard and crisp as a
brick of Neapolitan ice cream. Mr.
Mines talKed of it as follows:
"We have amalgamated an old-time
"Nigger-head" with a "Gem" and
tin re is no question that It is going
to t?e the leading melon. We are un
decided as yet what to call it. One of
the chief advantage*? of this melon,
from our point of view, is that it will
carry belter than other varieties. Tho
"Niggcr-hcad" is tender in the rind,
so that if you pile it in bulk it cracks,
Tills is a black seed melon, and we
{irmly believe that it will take suprem
acy over all other watermelons. At
| present it is being grown in Florida,
t\\it next year it will be raised through
I <vit Georgia. .North Carolina and
Maryland." ? New York Times.
