ourLooK roR rHr RICE oRoP.

UnfavorabIe Reports from South Caro-
Iins-The Crop Damaged by Over
fiows-An Average Crop Looked for in
Georgia.
The prospects for the rice crop in South
Carolina are not as encouraging as they
were three weeks ago, when it was esti-
mated that the yield would be fully 80
per cent. greater than last year. The
unfayorable outlook at the present is
attributed to the heavy rains, which
caused a freshet in all the rivers and
overlooked about all the rice fields, and
the planters in that state fear that
the crop will be more effectively shortened
| between the high waters in the rivers
above and the spring tides on Sept. 10,
when tie new moon comes in.
Judging from the reports fur
nished by planters in the imme-
date vicinity Of Savannah and to
the southwark the prospects of the
crop in Georgia are more fattering than
those fOTeshadowed for the planters IN
South Carolina.
A reporter of the MORNING News
was informed yesterday that the recent
rains had caused nO serious damage to
the crops in Georgia. On some plantations
the gram was OverfiOwed, but was under
water but a short time and has been well
dried by the weather, which has been ex-
ceedingly favorable for a few days. With
the exception of one or two plantations in
the State, the yield win amount
to fair average crop, say
from thirty to thirty-three bushels per
acre. There are few plantations on short
rivers which are more exposed to the dam
ger Of an overflow should the weather
prove unfavOrable on the new
moon, but those located on the long
rivers are not likely to be flooded, as
the waters from above will hardly reach
the coast until the high spring tides shall
have all ebbed.
The crop, such as has been harvested
up to the present time, is generally re-
garded as of superior quality. The price
has not been materially affected by the
prospects of a diminished yield in South
Carolina, and all the Savannah mills have
been thoroughly Overhauled and are pre-
pared to handle the grain eXpediti0usly.
During the past week car load of Lou
isiana rice, harvested in July, was re-
ceived here, and sold at the price for
which the new Georgia crop is being de-
liVered,

A Palatial Dry Goods House

The handsome fOuT-stOry building, which
was completed about Sept. 1, on the
southwest corner of BrOughton and Bar
nard streets for the well-known dry goods
merchant, Mr.. Daniel Hogan, is daily
crowded with visitors, a large number of
them being residents Of the interior, whose
attention is arrested by the palatial ap-
pearance of the structure. The superior
display of new goods in the establishment,
including black and cOlored silks, silk
veIvets, dress goods and novelties, tapes
try, Brussels and velvet carpets, ladies',
misses and masters Teady-made
Goods. and complete assert
ment Of underwear, hose, parasols,
umbrellas, and fresh Canton mating, also
attracts the searcher after bargains. The
building is 76 feet in height, and has a
front of 80 feet and n depth Of 80 feet.
There are four floors, exclusive OF the
cellar, all stored with goods adapted TO
the fail and winter trade, and which can
not fail to meet the requirements of the
numerous patrons of the establishment.
The building is well lighted and Venti-
lated in every department and has many
conyeniences which are appreciated by
every visitor. Mr.. Hogan has reason to
be gratified on having one Of the largest
and best stocked dry goods houses in the
South, and there is now no doubt but that
the public will appreciate Mr.. Hogan's
enterprise in his line by patronizing him

REDUCING THE RATES.

60 Sz.st..~n Union Makes Another Re-
daFsfSn of Fifty per Cent. on Night
Messages.
The Western Union Telegraph Company
mas made another sweeping reduction in
rates. A new tariff schedule went into
effect last night by which rates on night
messages to all points in the United States
outside of Georgia, reached by competi-
tive lines, are reduced to 10 cents for 10
words, and l cent for each additional word.
This is an approximate reduction OF 5Oper
cent. on the rate heretofore existing, and is
another step by the Western Union in the
direction Of cheap telegraphy. The rate
IN force by the new schedule-l5 cents Tor
Il words and | cent for each additional
words virtually l cent per word for the
entire message. The rate heretofore TO
nearly all of the points reached by the
new schedule has been % cents Tor 10
words. so that the new rate IS just one
half the old one.
Fifteen years ago the regular rate to
New York was 81 % for ten words. A
reduction has been going on from year to
year, until the present low rate has been
reached. Two years ago the day rate was
81 for ten words. and the night rate 90
cents on New York messages. linen cents
for each additional word above ten was
charged on day message, and cents on
a night message. Now the uniform rate
is equivalent to l cent per word to all
points reached by competition.
The principal cities with which SaYan-
nah business is transacted coming under
the new schedule are the following:
Eufaula, Montgomery, Opelika. and
selma, Ala; Bridgeport, Hartford,
4leriden, New Haven, and Waterbury,
