The City Dispensary's "Purp" a Hum.
mer in Dogdom.
For some time the question has been un-
decided whether the blue-spotted dog which
is seen around the city dispensary daily is a
coach dog or pointer, and Lewis Cass. its
owner, has been corresponding with dog
fanciers TO fix the status of the canine.
One day last week E K. Mccoy. drug
glst at the dispensary, obtained a furloueh
to have days fishing at Thunderbolt. and
although he missed the train and had to
walk home, he held on to the trouhy he
took from the stream, which was a crab
carried carefully in crocus sack and
carelessly left in the rear office of the dis
pensary.
few minutes later the blue pointer
made dash for the door and went tearing
up Whitaker street making the air resonant
with howlS. The county officials ran out
TO see what was the occasion that would
send whole pack OF hounds baying up the
street, as the blue pointer was followed by
score or more of dogs in full cry. The
blue pointer maintained a good lead
and soon dlstanced the believing pack in
the rear, but the lone crab, which had
cra"led out of the crocus bag and
fastened on the blue pointers ear.
held bravely on until the dog turned into
Liberty street, where the crab let go its
noli, since which time the pet of the dis
pensary will not venture a visit to his old
haunt. The speed OF his dogs zip, however
indicates that when In COMPANY with a
crab he is full-blooded greyhound

Crowds of Visitors at the Tents - The
Circus Mems Sunday.
Crowds Of people went out yesterday to
see the circus folks spend Sunday. A good
many of the animals were seen while the Y
were being fed. and no attempt was made
to keep the people from seeing the horses
The crowd enjoyed seeing the show people
eat, probably more than anything else.
One OF the tents was set apart for them
Three long tables were built under it, and
the showmen crowded around tae tables
until they barely had elbow roo n. The
intense curiosity displayed by the crowds
outside annoyed the circus folks, and they
threw rice biscuits at the sight-seers, and
soon cleared the doors. The manner in
which the food was prepared and cooked
was novel, The cooks used large, deep pots
and the cooking was done out in a lot some
distance from the tents. Great crowds
stood around the smoking pots, tempted by
the circus cookery.

DANGER IN THE MATCH.
a MOVEMENT TO GET RID OF THE
PARLOR FULMIN ATOR.

The Legislature to be Asked to Pro
hibit the Sale and Use OF Psrlor
Matches IN Georgia - The Danger
That Lies in Their Use-The Secret
of Many Fires.
'The general assembly should prohibit
by law the use or sale of what is known as
parlor matches in the state,n said an OBJ
serving gentleman on the Bay to MORNING
News reporter
The gentleman, who had just returned
from New York. took out his match case,
and, taking from it one of the little black
head sulphur matches, remarked
''These are the safest matches, and
the only kind permitted to be
used in the New York hotels Ii will not
flash up when tramped upon. believe the
cotton fires are largely due to the explosive
match They are dangerous, and to their
use many Of the fires at country gin houses
may be charged. Suppose that a negro has
a spite against the owner of the gin: EAR
Tor match or two dropped in the gin, or
hidden away in the cotton will do the work
When the match strikes any part of the
machinery in its passage through the gin
there Is fash, and the gin house is in
flames.
THE MATCH ON THE WHARF.
''The wharfmen carry these matches, and
1t is common to see them loosely stuc in
between the hat and hat-band, or behind
the ear, as a clerk carries his pencil in the
counting room, or they are carried loosely
In the pocket. The match drops on the
dock, bale of cotton turned over on it will
explode the match, and the fire will COM
municate to the cotton. 10 NAV blaze I'D
at once, or the fire may eat its way into the
bale and break out on shipboard. in tne
warehouse or at the compress and every
one wonders how the fire started.
There Is talk Of raising the insurance
rates Oh cotton, or abandoning risks at this
port" said the gentleman, 'if cotton fires
continue. Exclude the parlor match.
which Is dangerous wherever it is used, and
these fires viii be less frequent. The only
to buy or sell them In the state.
WHERE THE DANGER LIES.
Sometimes when one strikes the parlor
match the exploding illuminate win fly half
way across a room, often unnoticed, and
many Of the fires in stores and residences
are TO be ascribed to the use of such danger
Gus agencies for striking a light"
The chief official Of one of the largest
railroad systems in the south has been in
formed that there is real danger that rates

Savannah if the fires continue, and the
opinion is widespread that the parlor match
has had its share in the work of destruction.
The matter has been brought TO the atten-
tion Of Representative Gordon, with n ap-
peal that an effort be made to pass law
before the close of the session of the legis-
lature, prohibiting the sale and use of parlor
matches in Georgia.

THE RICE HARVEST.
Two-Thirds of the Crop Now On the
Market.

AWO-A ulruS OF the crop Now On the
Market.
The rice crop has been pretty well har-
vested, and prominent planter said yester-
day to a MORNING NEWS reporter that
fully two-thirds Of the crop is now on the
market.
And how is the crop this seasonY'
well, it cannot be said to be more than
an average yield, but the quality is verv
fine, and think the prices will be good
and remain firm"
What are your reasons for thinking
prices will be better than usualY'
Mainly because of the superior quality
OF the grain, and bee luse there is not full
Louisiana crop. l understand that storms
and floods have operated unfavorably upon
the Japan crop; all of which will have n
tendency to stimulate the home market"
Did the early frosts affect the rice
crop!"
The June rice has been somewhat af
fected by the frosts within the past three
weeks. That portion of the June rice which
b I'd not ripened withered, the grain having
the same appearance as If the rice birds
had sucked the milk from 1t. You under
stand that the top portion of the
heads OF the June rice might be hard and
not affected by frost, while the grain
further down the stalk If not matured' was
Injured IL Is dlfncult TO say how much
the June rice was damaged by the frosts.
In some localities the damage was greater
than In other localities. Some of the June
rice was being harvested when the frosts
visited the rice fields Of this section.n
Inc planter said that greater Importance
should attach to the rice industry of this
section, and every effort should be made to
encourage and foster 1t, as every dollar de-
rived from its sale is left here; whereas
cotton merely passes through, and many
who handle cotton leave the city when the
cotton season is over, and invest their
profits elsewhere, whereas the money from
the marketing of the rice crop remains here
and is distributed among the retail mer-
chants and tradesmen, and the profits go to
improve the rice plantations, or are invested
at home. TO this end, the planter said, the
board of trade did we'll to appoint a com
mittee to formulate some plan to stimulate
the Savannah rice market. 1t is under
stood, however, that the com mittee has not
yet submitted its report to the board.

THEY CAN'T ACCOUNT FOR 1T.
The Eussars Take Their Defeat Very
Gracefully.


The Georgia Hussars have returned.
They report delightful time, both in At
lanta and Macon. Although they did not
bring home much money, the trip was an
enjoyable one, and the Savannah troopers
made as good display as any team. Their
fitting in Atlanta was not up to their record
one of the company said yesterday. On the
contrary, 1t was very poor. The troopers
are unable to account for their poor fitting
AID the record that they made.
A few hours before the tilt, on the prac-
tice, they made score of 312 They did
not consider that a high score since they
have made much better. They went into
the Atlanta contest i'll full trim and well
equipped, but they only made 239. The
winning team only made 2SO13, which is
2912 point lower than the record of the
Hussars in their practice.
There is no reason in the world, the
Hnssars say, why they did not win.
They say that the judges dealt inpartially
with all the teams, and the Hussars have
nobody to blame but themselves. At Macon
they say they were out Tilted. They own
up that they could not beat the record that
was made.

NOTE r CALDWELL.

Nh EDIToR:-Friday, the 4th or
october, was a big>day for the ALI
NEE men OF Caldwell county. The
C-,h, Alliance of Lower Greek had in
vited the County Alliance to meet
with them at Highbriten Academy.
The building is beautifully situated In
= large grove of sta .ely oaks. The
day was perfectly lovely and the
crowd was immense, so that not only
the Academy but the grove was liter
ally full of men, women and children.
The meeting of the Alliance was very
pleasant and harmonious. But the
thing of the greatest interest to all
was the dinner. Oh my That
dinner, that dinner | just wish,
Mr.. Editor, you could have seen it
and partaken of it. The table was
long and doubtless a strong one, for
there was heaped upon-it everything
that this most highly favored spot of
the Piedmont section can produce:
The fatted calf, the fatted pig, the
well fed fowls of every kind, cakes
~iellies, preserves, fruits and every
thing appetising add antfnst~ma.
If you could have seen how these
good things disappeared after the
Divine blessing was invoked,. you
would have thought some of US had a
very light supper the night before. 1
had not taken time to eat breakfast
that morning before leaving home.
But after we had all eaten to our full
est capacity there were scores and
scores of baskets of provisions left.
Our Alliance is booming. We
have increased nearly $50 per cent.
during the last quarter.
Yours truly, f.
