RevivIng the thumb signature.


In medieval times, when one of the fashion
able fOlIes was neglect OF education, rulers
aud other gentlemen. instead of making their
mark or endcavnring to sign their names
dipped one OF their thumbs In ink, and blotted
their mark on documents IN that way, In
some respects il MARKS the distinction he
tween two signatures even better than the
writing employed by civilized people, since
the latter may be perfectly initiated. and tho
thumb imprint cannot be counterieted. On

The Work of the Rains.

1t is impossible to make even an APP
proXimately correct estimate Of the in.
jury done to the crops of the Southern
States by the rains that have been so pre-
Valent during the past two weeks, but
there is no doubt that it will amount to
millions of dollars. There has been much
more damage IN amount done to the cot
ton crop than to any other. Cotton can
stand great deal OF rain as well as a
great deal of dry weather during the
spring and early summer, but
rain Is peculiarly hurtful to
it during the seasons in which it forms
and natures its fruit. The cotton crop oil
the South Is worth about $500, OOO. 900.
Full and accurate reports from the differ
ent cotton States are not now obtainable,
but il the crop has been injured by rain
TO the extent of 8 per cent. the loss to the
planters is somewhere near $40, coo, OOO. 1t
must be remembered that the rains have
not only diminished the quantity OF cotton
produced, by beating it out and causing
unopened bolls to rot on the stalk, but
they have lowered the average quality of
the crop by causing considerable por-
ton Of it to be dirty and stained.
Next after cotton, rice has suffered more
than any other crop, and in proportion to
the amount produced in this country il
has sustained far greater injury than cot
ton. The planters will keenly feel their
losses, especially as their profits are not
very large under favorable oircum-
stances.
The vegetable growers OF the South have
lost very heavily. In some sections they
have seen their entire crops ruined and
have not been able to save anything of
consequence. The sum total OF the loss
on vegetables will be somewhat lessened
by the high prices that will be obtained
for some kinds, and thus the consumers
will share the loss.
The injury 20 the naval stores crop.
the railroads, aud other interests is very
great, but the great bulk of the losses
falls on the farmers, though, Of course,
every department OF business will suffer
with them, so dependent on each other
are the various yocations and trades
throughout the country.
II Is no use to complain, however.
Business may lack little OF being as
promising AS 1t was before the rains, but
the outlook is still encouraging. The
South is now in such a prosperous condi-
tion that IL can stand an SIS, O00, 900 or S20,-
5000 reduction in estimates OF the years
profits without creating a panic or pro-
ducing any great continued depression in
business.

Achievement in the Right Direction

A Movement in the Right Direction
A public meeting will be held on Mon
day evening in the City Exchange, for
the purpose of taking the initiRtory steps
towards holding a convention in this city
about Nov. Is, to secure organized action
in the matter of appropriations for the inn
provement OF the harbors on the Southern
Atlantic coast.
1t is proposed to invite the attendance
Of delegates from all the cities from Nor
folk, Virginia, to st. Augustine, and also
from interior cities in the South and
West interested In the commerce OF the
South Atlantic ports. A conflict Of inter-
est has heretofore prevented sufficient ap-
preparations being obtained TO properly
carry out the harbor improvements
necessary to the full development Of these
ports. The proposed convention is in
tended to secure harmony and concert OF
action in presenting the claims Of the
several harb0rs for government aid. and
thus secure larger appropriations. There
is no doubt that such a meeting will re-
suit in much good.
The season selected 10 one in which
Savannah presents her best appearance.
and when her business men are at home.
The delegates who attend will be enter
tanned in the hospitable manner in which
Savannah always entertains her guests.
II ls proposed, In addition TO delegates
representingth the various commercial, man
ufacturing, and medical interests Of the
ports interested, and the representatives
Of the several States, cities and towns, 10
extend an invitation to the Governors OF
the States and members Of Congress Of
the states In which the interested ports
are. our citizens should see that the
meeting on Monday night is well at
tended, so that the inauguration Of this
important movement will have their full
support az the start.
