THE CROP ABOUT ALL IN.
Something About the Truck and Melon
Business.

The watermelon shipping season is prac-
tically over for South Georgia. The
Ocean steamship company, which
carries the bulk of the Georgia melon crop
north will take about the last of the fruit this
week. The season began two weeks earlier
than usual this year, but the
Ocean steamship authorities say that they
have handled more melons than they did
last year. in spite of the fact that the de-
mand for the fruit was not SO large as it
has been in former years.
The crop is increasing every year and
commission men say that it has already got
SO large that efforts must be made to find
a better market in order TO keep the supply
from exceeding the demand.
The ocean steamship people say that this
is the case with vegetables as we'll as fruit.
The orange question has been practically
settled. There is always a market for the
orange crop. but it is not so with the vege-
table crop. Up to June 30 the Ocean steam
ship company han carried to New York 307,
900 crates and 10000 barrels of vegetables,
against l75, 600 crates and $1,000 barrels up
to the same time last year. The Philadel-
phia and Boston shipments were not SO
large, but they show corresponding in
crease The heavy shipments to New York
glutted the market, and as result the
shippers lost heavily. General Man
ager Sorrel was asked about the
matter yesterday. While the transporta-
ton companies are, of couse, glad to handle
the freight, he said that it has become a
serious question for the truck growers to
consider, whether they will keep on ship
ping to an over-stocked market at low
prices ard consequently small profits, and
frequently at a loss, or whether they will
find a new market.
The west as yet is an untried market for
southern vegetables, but the transportation
companies believe that it can be made a
great market, and that vegetables can be
shipped west with almost as large a profit
as they can north, and certainly with as
much profit as they can be sent to an over
stocked and glutted market, which has been
the case this wear

THE NEW OCEAN STEAMER.

The City of Birmingham Expected In
Savannah the First Week in August.
General Manager Sorrel of the Ocean
steamship company will leave for Chester,
Pa, in about two weeks to take the new
steamship City of Birmingham to New
York on her trial trip. The new steamship
is being fitted up at Chester, and after her
trial trip she win take on her first cargo and
will probably leave New York for Savan-
nah about Aug 5.
The vessel is needed now to carry the in
creasing freight of the Ocean steamship
company The shipments of pig iron are
increasing all the time, and as soon as the
Columbus and Western railroad be-
gins to handle the product of
the mines, it will be a large item IN the
freight of the ocean steamships. Twelve
hundred and twenty-four tons of pig iron
were shipped north last week by the New
York steamers. The last steamer carBied
out 531 tons The City of Birmingham is
being fitted especially for carrying iron,
and has the latest approved machinery for
loading and unloading it.
sIGeneral Manager Sorrel is looking for an
early opening of the cotton season, and he
said yesterday that the steamship company
will have all that it can do to handle its
cotton and other business, which is increas-

PREPARING FOR A BIG CROP.
7 he Rice Mills Getting in Shape for
the Fall Business.

"The rice crop this year is fiattering,"
said Maj n. 0. Tilton of the Planters mill,
yesterday. Everything is moving smooth
lv, and unless there is a freshet between
now and the middle of next month, the
crop will be large one. The rice planters
are all hopeful, and believe that they will
be favored with a prosperous season..
"About what time is the crop most liable
to be injured!o
About the first of August. The crop is
lost sometimes, however, as early as the
middle Of July but August is generally re-
garded as the worst month of the season.
How early this year do you expect to
get rice"
"Some of the planters say that they will
begin gathering as early as the latter part
of August. but think it will be about the
first week in September before we get much
Last year we z a cargo from Ogeechee
Sept Z, and that was extraordinarily early
Wemay be able to get small quantities this
year as early as Sept, 5, but not any ear

Glow will this years crop compare with
that of last year"
"Oh, last year we had no crop scarcely.
The receipts for last year were Al ,353
bushels This year we look for at least 75O,
600 bushels and probably more. We expect
100000 more bushels this year than we got
in 1856 and the receipts for 1886 were $685.,
363 bushels.
Besides the season being favorable this
year, the soil is much more fertile caused
by the overflow last season. | examined
the soil sometime since in one of the over
flowed plantations and the sediment was
several inches thick
What preparations are being made
by the mills for the coming season"
IAN our machinery is in first class order,

made We will be ready for the crop when
it comes We do not make cur barrels, ex-
cept as we need them. There is ample time
to begin making barrels when the crop be-

The rice crop is pretty equally divided

The Best Time to Buy valuables.

This is the dull season of the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty well as far as it
goes-but it doesn't go far. The purchasing
power of dollar now is something surpris-
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade In a word, we are now inclined
to give a very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
the past few months we have added to our
stock III various ways, new ideas, new con-
ceits, new tricks and quips in jewelry, and
so on. We've got to keep up you know,
with the strides of inventive and artistic
excellence. Our stock is worth looking
over, and, as intimated, we i2iU sell gerry
close to move some of it. This is good
time to renew household articles Solid
Silver table ware, superb plated ware,
ornamental goods For personal use or
adornment we offer a line par excellence Ct
Ladies' fne Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies' Watches, Chairs and
Charms, Gents Watches and Jeweiry, etc
All of these articles can be bought cheaper
now than when trade gets brisker. Some
body will get married next fall-buy the
presents you intend to give nolc. They
will keep, and you will save money.

FALSE WEIGHTS.
Serious Charge Against Western
Packers.

SAVANNAH July 16.-Editor Savannah
Morning NetOs: We ask the privilege of
the use of your paper to draw the attention
Of the people of this state to the frauds
which are perpetrated on them by large
number o interruptions packers, spectators
and Others of pria cipaliy the western states.
We do not know whether the facts are
generally known to the merchants of this
state that such goods as come in packages
which are marked with certain weights
do not always contain the quantity marked
thereon. We have only recently made the
following discovery on our attention
being called to the same by some of our
customers, and we here give the facts, as
far as we are acquainted with them:
Lard, marked 30 pound tins, weighed but
As pounds gross, tin included.
Hams, marked 100 pounds, weigh only %
to 95 pounds with canvass coverings and
paper Included
tween % and % pounds, sack included,
whilst those marked 100 have turned out
only % pounds
Peanuts, 20 sacks, invoiced at 1908
pounds, weighed only 1886 pounds.
Hay invariably runs from to 10 per
cent short of the marked weights.
These are among the few articles to which
our attention has been called, and we have
no doubt, on closer investigation, many
other articles follow in the same category.
AS this state is unfortunately a co sumner
of western products to the amount of many
millions of collars annually, it is very evil
dent that the people of this state pay out a
verv large sum of money for the benefit of
the people of the western states, for which
they receive no value whatever, and this is
done by dishonest practice of marking up
weights.
Is it not about time that the people of this
state should awaken to the fact, and if
there is no law in existence in this state to
prevent these malpractices, the people of
this state should insist upon the passing of
an act for the punishment Of parties giving
false weight. &. DAVIS & Son.

is Slain on His Way to Jail by his
Victims Father-The Sheriff Trying

A Quitman dispatch to the MORNING
News says that Lane was arrested at Quit
man Sunday night on charge
of assaulting with intent

He had gone about five miles out of town
when they were overtaken by the young
lady's father. A fight ensued, and Lane
was shot and killed.
Lanes former home was Quitman, and
his mother lives there now. The promi-
hence of the parties and the character
of the crime have caused intense
excitement in Quitman, where Lane was
well known.
THE VICTIM OF HIS ASSAULT.
The MORNING NEWS was unable to get
full particulars of the affair from Quitman
last night, but a Waycross special gives the

LUNA TO GET a BLACK EYE.
Savannahians to Have a Chance at a
Total Eclipse Next Sunday Night.


The approaching total eclipse of the moon,
visible upon this continent next Sunday
night, is attracting great deal Of attention.
Scientific authorities state that this eclipse
is repetition of that of July 10, 1870. The
present eclipse is very heavy one, its
magnitude being as 1925 is to the diameter
of the moon
The time Of the phases are rs follows:
Moon enters penumbra July %, 1908 p.
m; moon enters shadow July %, l0:j4:5 p.
m; total eclipse begins July %, l:53;4 y.
m, middle of the eclipse July %, O:44;O Il.
IN. total eclipse ends July %, 1858 a. M, ;
moon leaves shadow July %, 2:34 Is a. m;
moon leaves penumbra July d, 1887 a. m.
A scientific explanation Of the Phenomena
Of ecllpses is always possible but frequently
abstruse The variation in coloring OF the
disk ranges from bright copper hue
ascribed by the Indians TO the fact that the
| Great Spirit was angry with them-to
deep sombre gray. The Scientific 4nter1-
can explains the color variation by stating
that the sunlight grazing the earth's atrnos-
phere is refracted into the earth's shadow
and the light ON the moon is the result. If
! the atmosphere g pure aid cloudleSs the
moon will present the reddish, coppery hue.
If it be full Of clouds and vapor, the moon
will present q darker hue or become pro
nounced gray IN color.
Astronomers have theory that in 1894,
when the moon was entirey invisible during
totality, a rare occurrence the great erup-
ton of Krakatoa, Aug ~, 1888, had filed
the universal atmosphere with an impalpa-
BILE dust and vapor, which were thick
enough, however, to act as an observation
| and prevent any view of tho eclipse. The
forthcoming eclipse will be of interest, as
it will settle this theory
AS the time of the eclipse is 3h. dom, an
excellent opportunity Will be offered for
those enamored of star-gazing to witness
this unusual and interesting phenomenon.
If a telescope cannot be made use of an or
binary opera glass will be found to be an
excellent aid to the proper inspection of the
ecliDse

yesterday for stealing S35 from A. f. Flint

in charge stepped to the jury room to
speak to a witness and when he
