THE BEAUFORT SIDE OF IT.
The Effect of Smalls' appointment to
the Collectorship.

The Effect of Smalls' appointment to
the Collectorship.
The colored republicans of Savannah are
getting all sorts of comfort out Of ex-
Congressman Small's appointment to the
Beaufort collectorship. A Beaufort dis
patch quotes Intendent Collins as saying that
it will have the effect of breaking up the Re-
publican party in the Beaufort district.
Heretofore there has been something of an
organized Republican party in South Caro-
lima, but since such men as E. NJ. Brayton
have been ignored, the result must be in
evitable ruin. MIR. Brayton, Mr.. Collins
says, is man of character and intellect
and has been the means of holding the
party together for soma years, so far as
congressional matters are concerned. He
further states that heretofore the Beaufort
district has been spoken of as a doubtful
republican district, but now it will never
elect another republican congressman. 1t
is a certainty for the democrats, for the
Republican party has been entirely broken
up, SO far as congressional politics is con-
cerned.
"The above is about the way that all of
de ole party express the mselves about the
appointment of Smalls. Hundreds of col
ored people who have always voted the re-
publican ticket, and could not be induced
to vote any other, say they will hereafter
vote the democratic ticket rather than for
Smalls or his followers. The future will
tell

THE VEGETABLE MOVEMENT.
The Potato Crop About All Markete,
The Peach Rush.

The Potato Crop About All Marketed
The Peach Rush.
The early potato crop was pretty much
all forwarded to the northern market last
week, and shipments will be light the rest
of the season. The prices we're well main
tanned to the close of the season, and truck
farmers made big money on their potatoes
this year. The crop stood the drought bet
ter than any other product of the farm, and
would have been much larger had it not
been for the continued cold and wet weather
after early planting, the stand not being so
good as usual.
The Norfolk and Wilmington crop is now
beginning to reach the northern markets
and before the close of the week potatoes
will be very likely to suffer from declining
prices.
A few beans were shipped from Savannah
last week, but the bean crop has about been
harvested, and only small successive plant
ings for the local market have been put in.
The shipments Of cucumbers were rather
heavy last week and the market broke.
going down as low as so cents a crate which
does not pay for shipping. The crop is

Il Co.'S berry refrigerators on the Ocean
steamship vessels have been leased by fruit

heavily by rail. Six carloads were shipped
Saturday, three of which were In refrigera-
tor cars.
The peach is the Alexander variety and
must be hurried to market, or it rots down
in the crate or basket. The peach growers
along the line of the Central have such a
stupendous crop that they do not know
what to do with the fruit, and consignments
not going forward in refrigerators have not
commanded satisfactory prices. Good to
choice peaches, that is the very best, range
at from 81 to 81 IS per crate in New York,
but the market there as here, has been
literally supplied to the overstocking point.
The peach growers will not ship SO
rapidly this week, but will try TO do some-
thing with the fruit at home. 1t is said
that they will have to kiln or sun dry a
large proportion of the crop to save it.

oRAss IN TIE SQUARES
The City Beautifying Its Streets and
Lawns.

~~-~N
Lawns.
The experiment Is being tried Of making
Greene square green in fact as well as In
name. The square has been graded, the
walks laid with gas house lime and asphalt
surface, and Alderman Harmon, chairman
of the street and lane committee, is having
ii sodded, the soil having been previously
fortified from the sweepings Of the asphalt
pavements.
If the grass does well, Alderman Harmon
proposes to extend the sodding 70 other
squares, with a view to making them what
Hitherto many Of them have been
but little better than patches OF
barren sand, not graded, and which, in wet
weather, were filed with pools Of water not
only in the square proper, but in the walks,
and in dry and windy weather the sand and
dust precluded them from being the resorts
for which they were intended. for an after
noon outing for children.
The grass in Greene square is being
watered from neighboring hydrant as it
is sodded, and it will be watsred regularly
so that the roots will get a firm hold, and Is
it is the joint grass it is believed that the
square can soon be as green as johnson
square.
Speaking of the marginal borders on
Liberty street Alderman Harmon says that
they cannot be beautified by sowing grass
in them. Ii does not do so well. 1t is con-
templated in the fall to fertilize them with
the Liberty street sweepings, and then sod
them. The border in front of DR.. Reads
residence, which was sodded, and well wa
tered, shows that sodding is the proper way
to got good stand of grass, as the growth
is rank in front of DIR. Reads premises.
With good stand of grass on Liberty
street next year, and In the public squares,
Savannah will deserve even greater praise
as a beautiful city. The unsightly pumps
having been removed from the squares, it
has been suggested that the old turnstiles
ought TO go next.
Speaking Of sodding at this season of the
year being experimental, gentleman said
yesterday that is not an experiment. All
it wants after sodding Is a little care and to
be we'll watered in the cool of the morn
ing and evening. He cited "Menelas
park" in front of the cotton exchange,
whsre the grass is green and healthy, and il
was transplanted when the weather was dry
and hot, and the dry weather has not re-
tarded its growth in the least. He argued
that the Joint grass only wants a start, and,
being one Of the healthiest native grasses, 1t
is hard to kill out. This has been Mr.. Men
elias experience with it, and his writings on
the subject has done much TO bring 1t into
prominent notice and popular favor. tap
pears to be peculiarly adapted to the sandy
soil of the squares. but must be transplanted
to obtain the best results.

Sanitary Work at Guyton-Society
Gossip-The Growing Crops.
The county drainage committee, acting
with the town authorities of Guyton. has
done some good work recently. The con-
tract was awarded to Mr.. A. j. Futrell,
and he has had large force at work. He
has been greatly favored by the dry spell,
not having to lose a day from rain since he
took the contract. Guytonians feel that
the money is well spent and that Mr.. Futrell
is carrying out bis contract faithfully and
doing some good work. The Central rail
road will soon begin its part of the work.
and as the road under its present admin
lstratlon has always shown disposition
to cooperate with the town authorities, the
result will doubtless show up well, and some
hitherto unsightly places along the line of
the road near Guyton will be removed and
much valuable land reclaimed.
Guyton, like many other sections, is sadly
in need of rain. The drought is a severe one
and much damage has been done to the
growing crops. Oats are being harvested
and the yield is good, considering that the
drought struck this section rather early.

A Heavy Hitter Who Has 90 Days
More to Serve on the Gang.
Edward Turner, who escaped from the
Augusta Changing and was arrested by
Detective Wetherhorn last week, will be
taken back to Augusta this morning by
Jailer Collins, an order for turning over
the prisoner having been gwen to the jail
authorities last night by Justice Naughtin.
Jailer Collins said last night to MORN
ING NEWS reporter that Turner has but
about three months to serve. Turner
bought base ball bat and knocked another
colored man senseless with it, the assault
growing out of personal grievance which
Turner would not suffer TO go UNPUBLISHED.
Mr.. Collins says he is satisfied Turner would
have stayed and worked his time out, but
he had heard that an effort was being made
to indict him for the assault, and he got
frightened and availed himself of the first
opportunity to escape.
Turner's identity here was betrayed by a
darkey he knocked down with n blow of
his fist for grabbing a coin from a colored
woman and making OFF with it, and when
the informer tainted him over the arrest
by Detective Wetherhorn, Turner arose
from his seat in Justice Naughtinis office,
and planting well directed blow in the
mouth of the taunter, sent him down with
teeth to mend, after which he coolly said !:
"Now lie ready TO go back to Augusta I"

THE MEAT WE EAT.
The Way It Is Handled on the Street
and in the Market.

With all the vigilance exercised by the
Inspector of the Citizens Sanitary Associa-
ton, the market clerk and the police, there
are continual complaints about the condition
of the meat in transit to the market.
A lady who has been a great lover of
western meat CHANGED TO see a couple of
wagon loads being hauled from the railroad
to the market along West Broad street one
day last week. 1t was windy and dusty,
and there was no covering over the meat
except that in one wagon four colored men
rode in it, entirely covering it, but as
there were but two mon in the second
wagon, the meat which they were sitting
on was not so well protected from the sand
and dirt drifting in the wind. The house
wife seemed to be as much disguised with
the meat protected by the nauseating
method as that which had no protection
from dust
Country carts bring meat in covered
with flies and dirty to flthiness, and it is
not an uncommon sight for butchers
wagons to bring in the dressed beef from
the slaughter houses with no covering over
it, and the exposure is kept up in the mar
ket house. Meat is frequently taken
to the market at night, where it Is
hung up in the open stalls until
the close of market hours the following
day. The flies roost on it, and speck IL
almost as much under the glare of the cleo
trio light at night as they do in the day
time.
In many places meat is not exposed in the
market in this way, but is protected either
by light wire screens, closely woven, or
some light texture of gauge, and covered
up with coarse canvas or oil cloth in tran
sit to the market house. Many of the retail
meat markets in other cities have doors and
windows protected by wire netting, and a
fly on the meat block is something never
seen by the customer. There is room for
Improvement in the handling Of meat in
the Savannah market.
