Clark street hat store ran against an
experience of this kind yesterday after
noon.
In the line of beauty his principal
charm is a pompadour, but the ease
with which he can talk and hold a ci-
garette and toothpick in his mouth
at the same time is an accomplishment
that more than offsets the look of
beauty. 1t is the mind that makes the
man. The clerk had a customer yes
terday afternoon who looked like a
cOuntryman. poorly dressed in a suit
of rusty brown and wearing an ex-
ceedingly tough-looking hat. He was
one of those men who buy hats every
seven years whether they need them
or not. Sauntering up to the counter
he said in timid voice:
Il want to get hat"
''You certainly do" said the clerk.
What style of hat do you want and
how much do you feel like paying?"

clerk.

TRUCK IN PLACE OF RICE.
Rice Planters Turning Their Attention
to Vegetable Growing.

to Vegetable Growing.
The fertility of the valleys of the Savan
nah, Ogeechee and Altamaha rivers make
them especially valuable for. vegetable
crops, and quite number of planters have
been from time to time curtailing the ric,
acreage and devoting more Of their land,
in an experimental way, to the cultivation
Of potatoes and other vegetable produce
| Thus far the experiment has proved that
| the lands are very productive, and truck
growing has many advantages over rice
| culture.
| So expensive a system Of ditching for the
| tide water is not necessary, and the early
vegetable crop can be cultivated and dis
posed of before the season Of food sets in,
Keeping up the gates however, in periods
| of great drought, from which upland plant
ers are now suffering, the land could be
| irrigated and the crop would not suffer
| from long periods Of dry weather, which
often destroyes promising crops or shortens
the yield.
A rice planter in discussing the matter
said; Several rice planters have put n
large crops of vegetables this year. The
rice lands and the highlands adjacent can
produce almost anything, aud the continued
disasters to the rice crops may eventually
turn out to be a blessing by causing US TO
capital, care, energy ard ability required
on a rice plantation if directed TO the culti-
vation Of potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers,
peas, beans, okra and other vegetables for
shipment and for canning would, no doubt,
yield handsome returns. Rics could also
be cultivated to more limited extent. and
greater precautions taken to protect the
crop from freshets and drought
These views seem to be Shared by q num-
har Of YlapfarC rghn ba "a ffara1 lose and
damage to their growing rice by freshet
when in bloom and in harvest for the past
three years. Mr. MassIe's success with
vegetables on HutchinsOu's Island has
shown what the rice lands will do. He will
have about 1900 barrels Of potatoes this
season, and be says there is no better corn
land in the country.
Mr.. A. Sheftall, rice planter on the
Ogeechee, began planting vegetables tn
small way about seven years ego, and he is
so well satisfied with the experiment that
it is understood he planted no rice this year.
Some Of the potatoes that went by steamer
and rail last week were grown by Mr..
Sheftall, and they were very fine. II
is also understood that Mr.
Haskell devoted portion of his plantation
this seasen to potato culture, and Mr.. Moy-
nello put in quite an acreage in vegetables.
The peculiar adaptation Of the soil of this
soCtAOu lOI NcStldOie culture mas heretofore
been noted in the MORNING NEWS. North
ern dealers consider the vegetables from
this section superior to those from other
sections, and in consequence better prices
are received for food produce raised in the
planting region outlying the city, All these
facts have begun to dawn upon the rice
planters, and while as yet there is no con-
cert Of action looking to future reductions
in rice acreage, the probabilities are that
there will be less attention given to rice
and more to the cultivation Of vegetables

RAIN BADLY NEEDED.
No Indications of Local Showers To-
day, But Raining Elsewhere.

day, But Raining Elsewhere.
There was trace Of rain here Saturday
night, but it was observable only at the
signal Office The indications are not fat
tering for local showers to-day. There
was slight falling of the barometer yester-
day, ranging from .03 to .O4 of an inch, but
it was rising last night. The depression, it
was hoped, indicated rainfall last night,
but up TO midnight the SKY was clear as
a bell, and a very moderate breeze was stir
ring, coming a little south of east and strong
enough at 7:30 O'clock in the evening to
drive back a bank of dark clouds that
loomed I'D encouragingly as if they would
dispense a much needed shower.
Signal Observer Won Hermann said at II
o'clock that if local showers did not fall
during the night there would be only the
barest possibility Of shower to-day The
drought appears now to be confined to por-
tions Of Georgia, Florida and Alabama.
Rains have fallen throughout the Ohio
valley and the north, and showers were re-
ported yesterday from portions Of the cot
ton region. The Wilmington IN. c. dis
trict last night reported a rainfall of 40
inches, and l. so inches fell in Wilmington
yesterday afternoon. The Augusta dis
trict reports .01 inches, aud the Savannah
district 02 inches. There was a rainfall Of
IL OF an inch at IhomasVllle yesterday
afternoon and .0l at Albany.
Observer Won Hermann says that it is
very rare that local showers and electrical
disturbances do not follow excessive heat in
few days, but the hot weather of last
week and the previous week has had no in
tervention of local showers.
Truck gardens not artifcially watered
are suffering from the dry weather, and
there is so little humidity in the atmosphere
that the dews are so light as to be of little
benefit to vegetation. Some of the younger
trees in the public squares began to show
willing foliage, and they we're promptly
wabered by employees Of the street and lane
committee. johnson square was watered
Friday night by detail from the fire de-
partment, aud the grass, which had begun
to turn yellow, was soon revived.
