THE GROWING CROPS.
Cotton in a Bad Way but Rice and
Corn All RIGHT

There is very little to note in the condi
ton of the crops from the previous reports
in the MORNING NEWS. For cotton the
advices are still unsatisfactory. The rains
which fell about ten days ago were light
and only fell in few localities. so that
very little good was done. The same
complaints are coming to hand of the cool
nights along with the dry weather which is
not so good for the plant. There has been
very little replanting. In fact it is too
late to replant, so that whatever is in good
condition is all right now, but that
destroyed cannot be replanted except the
weather is very favorable. A luxuriant
yield may Offset losses by bad stands. AT
all events the condition of the crop is not
considered as good as that of a yeer ago.
More viii be known, however about the
WHOLE cotton belt when the regular monthly
report of the agricultural bureau is made
public. 1t will be published tomorrow.
The reports from the growing
rice crop are that the present
conditions are good. Planters near by re-
port their crops looking we'll with nothing
absolutely necessary except little rain
which will do the top crop much good.
Quite good shower was had at Guyton
yesterday afternoon which NAV have
covered the area on the river above the
city. 1t is now believed that the damage
to the Louisiana crop is incalculable. This
crop reaches over 5000, 600 bushels of rough
rice, and it is said that nearly two-thirds of
the crop is destroyed.
A remarkable fact about crop reports
this season is that in the face of doleful re-
ports from cotton there has been no com
plants from the growing corn, and it is
said that above all other crops corn is the
most susceptible to weather. conditions. as
the root does not go as deep into the ground
as cotton does. If, therefore, there is any
moisture at all the cotton plant is sure to
absorb it, while with corn it does not have
such fast hold of the ground, and in very
dry weather, where the surface becomes
parched, the drought affects tho roots and
causes the leaves to wither and the stalk to
die

IN AND ABOUT THE CITY.
MELONS ON THE MOVE.
The First Carload for Savannah Ex-
pected To-MorroW.

pected Tomorrow.
Messrs. j. s. Collins & Co. received a tele-
gram yesterday from J. J. Padrick of Rich
land, Fla, saying that carload of melons
IS on the way and will arrive here to-mor-
row. This is the first melon shipment to
Savannah this season. The first shipment
last year was received from the same party
May u, two weeks earlier. Mr.. Collins
SAID that melons will bring now about $25
per 100. This is fancy price, and not more
tnan one or two carload lots will be sold at
that figure. The shipment to Savannah

Florida this season.

his Is due, the commission merchants say,
to the cool night winds. The dry weather
has not retarded the growth of melons to
any great extent. Melons require warm
weather. If the weather is foul and much
rain falls they become watery and coarse
and unfit to eat. 1t requires a good deal of
dry, not weather to make them mature
sweet and juicy.

frult merchant. Savannah people have

the market entirely, and thick rind, bad
Favored fruit has taken its place.
Growers have crossed the watermelon with
the citron, and the red meat, juicy melons,
with rinds as thin as silver dollar, have
been relegated to the rear, and people do
not see them any more. These melons will
sell In the towns and cities near the ship
per, but they cannot be placed in
a car with hundreds of others and
shipped north. Since growers have devoted
their whole attention to getting melons
which will stand long haul, without any
regard to the flavor, the trade in the better
classes has dropped off until there is prac-
ueally none of it. The average weight of
melons this season will be between eighteen
and twenty pounds, which was about the
size OF the fruit shipped last season.

AMONG THE TRUCK FARMERS.
The Losses by the Floods-Tlle Crops
Greatly in Need of RAIN.

Inc LOSSES Dy tne floOdS-T1l6 crops
Greatly in Need of RAIN.
It begins to look as if the vegetables
shipped by rail Thursday of last week were
lost by reason of the foods, or have been
delayed south of the breaks, and being of
perishable character, viii be total loss to
shippers. Messrs. Hart Bros. received a
telegram from Philadelphia yesterday that
a carload of vegetables shipped by them
had not arrived, and no trace Of it has been
obtained.
The truck gardens are badly needing rain.
Mr.. Jacob Dieter of George Dieter & Sen
said yesterday that tomatoes and cucu anber
vines are especially needing showers. Beans
are poor in quality, and are no longer
merchantable IN the northern markets, as
they sold yesterday in New York and Phi la
delphia at 81 % per crate. Potatoes meet
with quick sales at So so per barrel, arld
sales were reported all the way from So 10
So. There is a general good demand for
potatoes in New York, Philadelphia, Balti-
more and Boston.
1t is estimated that fully two-thirds of
the Savannah crop has gone forward, and
prices have held up so that potatoes yester-
day commanded fully as much as at the
opening of the season. The Norfolk pota-
toes will begin to reach the northern mar
kets by next Saturday, but by that time
the Savannah crop will have been about
all marketed.
Beans held up well until the break in the
railroads in Virginia, so that on the whole,
while there has been a shortage in the crops
of peas, beans and potatoes, the good prices
all along maintained have Melted the truck
farmers as much or more than if May had
not been a season of drought.

WHY SHOULD THERE BE ANY
BEARS2

All Are Equally Interested In .he City.
A certain class of our people seem to be
opposed to an advance in the value of
realty. Perhaps if they were directly
charged with this they would deny it, but it
nevertheless is a fact that they, by their
influence and conversation, seek TO deter and
to discourage others from investing. Not
only this, but they endeavor TO throw dis
credit upon the genuineness Of the trans
actions, as reported, and by their prophe-
cies and forebodings do all they can to con-
vey the idea that such Investments are not
advisable
When the motive to do this is to enable
them to profit by reducing the competition
1t is easily understood, But there are per-
sons who would scorn to SO act, vet who
from pure thOughtlessness are guilty of
doing and saying things which do great
harm in this direction. Every citizen
ought to be interested in the prosperity and
advancement of Savannah. Nothing will
accomplish this SO effectually as an active
real estate market. That city where peo-
pie do not believe in their own real estate.
who not only fail to invest in it, but who
also adduce arguments why it is not worth
what it brings, is not the place that will
draw or retain population. Nothing better
could happen to our city than if 1000 of our

duty OF speaking well of her. Would this
be difficults What are the factsl In spite
OF the croakers, in spite of the efforts to
keep her back, in spite of the lack of effort
to do anything to advance her interests,
Savannah has made rapid strides toward
her destined future-a large and important
city. There are all of the elements existing
to make her of great importance in the near
future. 1t depends upon her own people
whether this win be realized or not.
Then, why should there he any real
estate bearsl Why not all unite in saying
and believing that we haze great future,
and that each viii do his part to achieving
1t. Those who have opportunities to in
form themselves know that real estate is
cheaper in Savannah than in any other
place, all things considered, in the state or

strangers will come in, who will appreciate
it much more readily than we do. We
Will then see occur what has been expert
enced in many other places, aliens will

reflection that the opportunity had been

a MURDERER CAPTURED.
John Sawyer Arrested for q Murder
Committed in Ocala, Fla,

John Sawyer Arrested for a Murder
Committed in Ocala, Fla.
After three or four days of patient detec-
tive work, John Sawyer. alias Joe Small,
an alleged murderer, was arrested yester-
day afternoon at the Savannah and Tybee
depot in this city, as the train was pulling
out for the island. Justices Reynolds and
Endres, and Deputy Sheriff Kane made the
arrest.
The officers have had their eye of Sawyer
Tor several days believing him to
be refugee from Ocala, Fla,
and yesterday description of the nauderer,
clearly tallying with the appearance of
Sawyer, was received from e. T. Williams
OF Marion county, Florida, by Justice Rey-
nulds. The arrest was at once decided upon
and made and the prisoner was committed
to jail to await the arrival of Sheriff Will
Jams who has been telegraphed for and is
expected to arrive tomorrow.
Sawyer is wanted for the alleged murder
of another colored man known as "North-
ern Bill, whom Sawyer shot and killed
last January with Winchester pistol
After the shooting Sawyer was arrested by
the Ocala police, where the crime was com
mitted, and he turned on the officer and
shot at and wounded him, making his
escape.
Sawyer has been working at Tybee, and
came to Savannah Friday night and was on
his return to the island when he was appre-
hended. He does not deny the shooting.
The prisoner is about 50 years Of age, and
Justice Reynolds says answers the descrip-
ton given by Sheriff Williams, being 5
feet 10 inches in hight, with a scar on the
left cheek, near the nose, heavy mustache
and side whiskers, and pistol scar on the
left leg near the knee. He talks slowly, as
Sheriff Williams says Sawyer talks.

a RAILING FOR TIE MONUMENT.
The Jasper Monumental Association
to Do Something Soon.


to Do Something Soon.
Capt. John Flannery, president of the
Jasper Monumental Association, whose at
tention was called to the interviews in
yesterdays MORNING News referring to
the delay in improving the surroundings,
said that it had been thought by the associ-
alton that a railing around the monument
would mar its symmetry, but with two
schools near the square and the Indifference
on the part of the police to protect the
monument, 1T appears after all as if it will
have to be inclosed by a suitable railing
high enough to keep the boys away.
Capt. Flannery gave the reporter to I'M
derstand that there will be an early meet
ing of the association to take action in the
matter. 1t has been ready all along to do
its share as first contemplated, but it would
like to see the city, which accepted the
monument from the association, show some
interest in preserving it. The children are
continually handling the bronze figures and
the police ought to put stop to it.
