THE WAR IN SOUTH' AFRICA Kimberley Relieved at Last by General French. The British war offioe published on Friday afternoon, Feb. 18, a dispatch frcni Lord Roberts announcing that G-neral French, with a force of artil lerj, cavalry and mounted infantry, reached Kiinberley ou Thursday even in?. Cronje was forced to retire before superior numbers. General French, with the cavalry, sinip'y stayed over night in Kimberley and then pushed on to get in touch with tne enemy. In their hasty departure the Eoer lost quantities of suppliesand ammunition. The news was the cause cf pubiic rejoicing all orer England. General Frenchlost a few men only in action, bnt the forced xnarchesfjand beat have probably made many ilL Numbers of remounts must be provided! Lord Roberts has wrought a genuine preliminary success and the impression is that he has done enough for the pres enr. He will need to prepare for another strike; Dispatches from Cape Town announce that enihusia tic demonstrations fol lowed the announcement of the relief cf K mberley. Government house was gurronuced by i.Uffe crowds anH tha Eruish high commissioner and gover nor ot Cape Colony, Sir Alfred Milner, received an ovation. There were parades through the city cheerinsr for Bobs," flags flying and hosri.e demonstrations outside the offi ces of the newspapers sympathetic to the Boers and before the residences of mincers supposed to be in sympathy with the burghers. The relief of Kimberlev was simi lar! - celebrated in other towns of Cape Colony. Over the whole Mbdcer river district there is such tremendous military ac t.virv tuat it is hard to realize the area cove-o ' rr prasp the full meaning of the movements. The Boers, though retreating from Ma- niMuu.eiu, are active elsewhere. A special dispatch from Orange river says tuey-are attempting to cut the British line of ccmmunications at Gras Pan but it is exiected they are not likely to eect a seriocs result. They are. how ever, undoubtedly making a strenuous effort to cut the British lines to DeAar. On tae ether hand, cornea the news taat General ilacDonald has again oo cupa d Koodcesberg. Wnat precautions Lord Roberts has aip ea against ccuuter attacks are not yer known, but the war office and pub he are taoronghly convinced that he is fu.v ab.e to cope with all contingen cies and that, if it is within human pos eibmty, he will inflict the defeat on General Crnnirt tht i - - - J- - - o uiuu mure important than the relief of Kimber'ey, bruiiant as was the latter achievement NORTH CAROLINA.

Georgia Entomologist Says the Peach Crop Id Saved. Atlanta, Feb. 21. If scientific indi cations count for anything in whioh the weatberis to play a part, the peach crop of Georgia during the coming summer will be the largest of any in reoen t years. State Entomologist Scott, who has re turned from the southern part of state after a carefnl ATaminoinn .u. chard s at Marshalville and other towns throughout that section has given out the statement that the freezing weather of the past week, general over the state, is to be ccnsidered a blessing. The ef fect of the freeze has been to check the unnatural advance of the fruit trees caused by the recent warm weather, "I can safely say," remarked the state entomologist, "that as a result of the cold weather tho nnrVi tu., l VMUliUH possibly begin to put out before their normal time. In some of the orchards thjrerWer'' signs of approaching buds and I am satisfied that the freeze did these no harm. Had the sudden change come a few days later, however, the re sult might have been disastrous to a part of the crop. The only thing now to fear is the late spring frost."
