PROSPEROUS SOUTH GEORGIA.
Crops in Splendid Condition and
Farmers Happy.

Crops in Splendid Condition and
Farmers Happy.
Capt. j. B. Withers, of w. w. Chisholm
& Co., returned yesterday morning from a
two weeks trip through Southern Georgia
and Florida. He reports the farmers pros
porous and the country in splendid condi-
tion. The fair weather has enabled the
farmers to harvest their crops in good con-
dition, and they will realize from 25 to
to IS per Get. more for them than thew
did for last years crop.
Cotton picking, Capt. Withers said, is
going right ahead, and by the middle of
next month the crop will have bee gath
cred. The staple is as fine as it has ever
been In that section oflGeorgia, he said. The
most OF the cotton grown and gathered in
South Georgia will rank in Savannah I'D to
the standard. The long staple cotton has
not done so well. although the crop will be
as large as it was last year, and perhaps
larger.
The wet weather in the summer had a
tendency to make the long staple cotton
shed, and as the most of the bollS grow on
the stalk down near the ground those that
did not fall Oft were, good many of them,
colored and stained. The naval stores and
lumber business is carried on more ex-
tensively than ever before. A great many
of the old turpentlne boxes on the pine trees
in fields winch have been turned out are
being used again. About $4,000 more
barrels Of turpentine have been received
here this season than was received last wear
at the same time. The price has run up 8
cents more per gallon Notwithstanding.
This increase in price has had tendency to
stimulate the supply.

Imitation

Is the sincerest praise, and the Chickering
Piano has been the recipient of more lauda-
ton of this nature than any other musical
instrument whatever. 1t has been copied
ever since its birth, some sixty six years ago,
not only at home, but even in the factories of
conservative Europe. Its manufacturers
are always giving their most ingenious
rivals something to copy, and at no time
has the Chickering been SO desirable an in.
strument as it is today.
Ludden & Bates s. NJ. H. is the southern
agency for this piano, and always invites
the closest inspection of its merits.

delivered the following letter to the
mayor before the destruction and deface-
ment of my property on 10 les street. and,
as it states correctly the facts in the matter.
l beg careful perusal of it, 1t will be
seen that l was granted permission many
months ago to erect the grass plats, and the
only contention ever made by the
clty omclas was as to my
right to inclose the grass
plats by the coping around them. The CITY
ordinances tMcDonell's code, SIS 2S3, l, 800
gave me the right to appeal to the council
FOR Its decision as to whether the coping
was in excess of the permission granted me,
! and another ordinance (McDonell's code.
1,2OI gave me the right to remove the
coping within a reasonable time to be
allowed by the mayor-not less than twenty
four hours, nor more than thirty davs-in
the event that the decision of the council
was adverse. What the council did
was no decision of the question
at issue, but only decision
| to postpone their decision until such time
as they might choose to render it. snd in
the meantime to permit the grass plats and
| coping to remain, provided l should sign a
| paper to remove them at the pleasure Of the
| council, whenever they should decide the
question against me; and because l failed
to sign such paper within short
| time, and under humiliation, the
| council directed the marshal to destroy
and deface my property as he has done.
Thus it is that in a tryannical, brutal, and
despotlc spirit, and contrary to ordinance.
Law, and justice, have been seriously in
Jured, and my rights trampled upon. l
desire to state further that | never sent any
such message to Marshal Wads as was re-
ported in yesterdays News.
