Your garments cover you with the
graceful stamp of an excellent tailor, or
else you've been wise enough to Gull from
Mitchel's select stock ''fiti that was
never surpassed;
Mitchell, you know, was formerly at
a Whitaker street, but found his quarters
cramped, wanted room to stretch his arms
when he felt like yawning, so to speak, so
he is now installed in his handsome and
roomy premises, 159 BroughtOn street.
Plenty of good clothing on hand, and it
must be sold, and lCjU be sold. Ask any
merchant tailor in Savannah as to the
character of Mitchelfs clothing. There is
room for all. Clothes that WON'T fit
loW be made to fit, at NitckelpS expense,
too. Solid and bona fide inducements
offered to mechanics, railroad men, steam
boat men, and the public generally.
MitchelPs suits speak for themselves.
Don't forget the number, 159 BroughtOn
street. SIMON MITCHELL.

The Catholic knights Defaultlng Treas


An interview has been had with SUI
preme Treasurer O'Brien, of the Catholic
knights of America, regarding the defal-
cation Of J. L. Hickman, his predecessor,
which will be of interest in Savannah,
where the order is we'll known and has a
large membership. Mr.. O'Brien is lead
ing wholesale merchant, and one of the
most prominent citizens OF Chattanooga.
He saws that the order was cOgniZant of
the GefalcatiOn several days ago. Shortly
after his election in May he attempted to
make a settlement with Hickman, but
the latter claimed that his books were not
DOsted. and only turned over to him $780,
900. He esen asked for "A portion of that
sum to pay orders which had been re-
ceived few days previous, but his re-
quest was denied. The bank at Grafton
withheld $1,000 to pay an order which
they stated they had secured. They
afterward refused TO pay this
order, and subsequently paid the money
to Hickman. who claimed that he would
express il TO O'Brien. The money never
came. and the order had to be paid out of
the funds in O'Brien'S hand. He says the
amount of the deIalcatiOn has been great
" exaggerated, that it will not exceed
$1,000, that the Grafton Bank Will be held
responsible for $4,000, and Hechman's
bOndsmen for the rest. He says that the
financial condition of the order is very
satisfactory. There stands to the credit
of the association $50, 600 cash, all out
standing claims have been met promptly,
and there is more than enough on hand to
meet all maturing obligations. Ii the en-
tire deficit of Hickman was divided
among members it would be less than 20
cents per head. The order, he states, is
growing rapidly throughout the country.

The PROSPECTS off the Leading staple.

As there is speculation in some quar-
tiers relative 10 the condition and pros
poets of the growing crops, a representa-
tive of the MORNING News called Satur-
day on some of the leading merchants to
ascertain their opinion upon the
subject. They agreed in saying
that the promise of good
Yield of cotton is not as bright as it was
a couple of weeks ago, iuasmuch as rain
is needed in many portions of the State
where the plant is being injured by the
drought. The following abstracts from
letters bearing on the matter, received by
the Savannah cotton factors, will be read
with interest:
MONTICELLO, Fla, July 17.-Cotton
crop very fair, and from eight to ten days
in advance of last year, both in size and
fruitage.
EAToNTON, GA, July 19.-Crops of
corn and cotton are looking WELL but be-
ginning to need rain.
FORT GAINES, GA, July 1S.-Crops
look well, but need rain now.
CAMILLA, July 19.-CrOps are suffering
for rain. From present indications cot
ton will make three-quarters of last years
yield
MILLEDGEvILLE, July 19.-COttOn crop
prospects were good up to week ago, but
rain is at present needed and if it does
not come soon the yield will be cut short.
THOMASVILLE, GA, July 19.-PrOspects
good as last year, but rain needed now.
Midwife, GA, July 1S.-we are need
ing rain very much, and cotton is begin

Country Life in Georgia Fifty Years


On Thursday evening Colonel Richard
NJ. Johnston, of Baltimore, will lecture
on the above subject at the Catholic
Library Hall. The Atlanta Constitution,
commenting on this lecture, delivered in
Atlanta on Thursday last, says:
''The lecture of Col. Richard Malcolm
Johnston on Country Life in Georgia
Fifty Years Ago. was delivered last
night in the Senate Chamber to an elegant
audience, which gave hearty testimony of
its appreciation.
"COlODel Johnston said he loved the
memory of the old days in Georgia, and
his acquaintance with their peculiari-
ties had been made in the old field schools,
i'm practice of the law i'll several counties.
Thus he had learned to know and love a
manhood remarkable not alone for its
drOllery, but also for its brave and gener-
Gus qualities. Though the country peo-
pie of Georgia fifty years ago were not
learned in books. they had that which is
better than boOks-cOurage, honor and
kindness.
"The lecture was concluded with the
reading of one of Colonel JOhnstOn's IA
nous sketches, Little Tom Watts which
elected many a hearty laugh. The lee
ture was warmly applauded at the con-
clusiOn of his effort and frequently during
its progress. He drew vivid and pleas
ing picture of the time so keenly remem-
bered by many and yet so fast drifting
into story and legend. To preserve its
romance and to honor its many virtues
Colonel Johnston has done work that
has reflected honor upon him while 1t has
given pleasure to so many thousands of
readers"

able conflict IN which the gallant corps

brave comrades fell.

MELON SHIPMENTS.

What a Steamship Captain Says of the
Late Seizure of the Fruit in New
York.
Further inquiry into the circumstances
connected with the late seizure of a por
ton of cargo of watermelons by the
health authorities at New York shows
that if the melons referred to had been
promptly taken from the wharf by parties
to whom they were consigned a great deal
of the fruit would have probably escaped
injury and consequent liability to con-
demnatiOn. AS it was some of the
fruit was damaged in transit to New York
and in the handling, but the amount was
very small. The delay in moving the
fruit from the wharf, and after it had
passed out Of the hands of the steamship
company, exposed the melons to a risk for
which only those to whom the goods were
consigned were responsible.
Captain Fisher, of the steamship Talla-
hassee, in response to an interrogatory,
said that few cargOeS of melons wholly
escape injury in transit, and that often
as many as a thousand are broken or
otherwise damaged before the shipment
reaches the New York wharf. Especially
is this the case if the weather proves TO
be stormy during the run up the coast.
Sometimes as many more are broken
after the fruit has been delivered on
the wharf at New York. He also said
that one reason why the cOnsignees neg
lect to move the fruit is that they wish to
avoid the cost of slowing it elsewhere,
and that he was pleased to see the health
authorities at New York take action in a
matter which should have been attended
to in former seasons.
