TO TEST THE RICE HULLERs.
The Invention to be Tried on Moynelo's
Plantation.


A plant of the patent Brazilian rice hull
ers, notice of which was published in
the MORNING NEWS two weeks ago, and
which reached here from the Engelburg
Huller Company Of Syracuse, n Y. week
before last, has been put up on the rice
plantation Of Mr.. A. e. Moynelo, on the
Ogeechee. The work of fitting up the
shafting, running gear and other attach
ments is progressing favorably under the
superintendence of G. L. Life, general man
sger of the company, and his assistant, Mr..
Fell, who came south with the machinery
Mr.. Moynelo informed MORNING NEWS
reporter last night that it is expected the
hullers will be ready to be given test in a
few DAYS.
As has previously been stated in the
MORNING NEWS, it is expected from the use
OF the patent huIlers that every planter can
mill his own rice on the plantation and
barrel it ready for the market at a MIMI
mum cost, even if he does not plant more
than fifty acres of rice. The present ma
chinery for milling rice is of the most
primitive pattern, and inventors do not
seem to have turned their attention to it
until Portuguese inventor in Brazil in.
vented the hullers and sold the patent to
the Syracuse company, which proposes to
add whatever improvements may be found
necessary to make the hullers practical
success. As Mr.. Moynelo has taken a de-
cided interest in the invention, and is one
of the largest rice planters in this section,
having about 900 acres in culture GU the
Ogeechee river, the company has selected
his plantation on which to make practical
test of the huller

PLENTY OF WATER NOW.
1900 Gallons Minute Too Low al
Rstimate for the Wells Flow.

HSt1maCe Tor the w ellis FLOW.
The deep artesian well on the Springfield
plantation. which has been drilled down
from depth of 225 feet to its present depth
OF 595 feet, with an S-inch drill, is now be-
ing reamed out to diameter OF 10 inches,
and about so feet of progress has been
made
Samuel Wyvell, who is assisting Con-
tractor Joyce in putting down the we'll, says
that the increased diameter is to conform to
the contract, the city wanting a 12-inch
well, but he will guarantee that the 12-inch
hole won't increase the flow Of the we'll a
spoonful over an S-inch diameter
Mr.. Wyvell, who is a man of about 40 or
or AZ years, has been in the well-drilling
business since he was IL years old, and has
put down wells in the oil fields OF Pennsyl-
vania and New YORK. and in the gas fields of
Ohio, and his experience and observation
make his opinions of weight. He thinks
that the well is flowing more than 800 gal
Ions minute, which he says is too low an
estimate, and if his views are correct, the
capacity of the well is nearer 100000 gal
Ions day than 2, 160,0 900, the outflow on a
basis of 800 gallons per minute.
MIR. Wyvell thinks that there is plenty of
gas below the water-bearing rock, and to
the pressure of this gas he attributes the
flow OF arteSian water in this section. He
says thaC tue gas was not obtained until the
rock was drilled through, after which the
flow Of water increased, and the sulphurous
smell and taste of the water is not from the
presence of sulphur but of gas Mr. Wyvell
says that it is his impression that If one of
the artesian wells had the water cased off,
and dry hole put down, flow of gas
would be obtained, and that this is the
method pursued in the gas fields, letting the
water, If it is desired to utilize it, come up
on the outside of the inner casing.
Mr.. Wyvell was asked what would be the
effect Of shooting an artesian well in the
event of any sign of decreasing flow, and
he replied that it would be almost sure to
largely increase it. A charge of four quarts
Of nitro-glycerine put down in the water
bearing rock, he said, would make big
opening which would fill up and be deep
pond or reservoir fed by wider circumfer-
encs of the pore-cells of the water bearing
rock. The oil and salt wells of the NORTH
have their flow increased by shooting, and
Mr.. Wyvell says that he has seen oil wells
put down in the oil-bsaring rock, which
bears close resemblance to the water
bearing rock here, where no oil flow was
obtained, but which, after charge was put
down, became eight TO ten barrel wells.

FIRE IN A BARBER SHOP.

A Blaze Breaks out in Dan Deans

A fire was discovered shortly before 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon in the rear
room of Dan Deans BARRIERS shop, on Whita-
ker street, three doors north of South
Broad. John II. Helmken hurried to fire.
mems headquarters aud notified the depart
ment.
Mike Hanly of the No. 90, heard the cry
OF fire, saw the smoke and also brought out
the No. 2s, but before the firemen had
reached the building, the Chinese laundry
man who has the adjoining shop on the
south broke open the rear window from an
entrance way and dragged out burning
sofa, upon which the fire had evidently
started. In another room pile of waste
paper behind the door had burned and con-
municated to the ceiling, but there was no
draft to communicate the fire from one
apartment to the other
The tiremen broke open the doors and soon
extinguished the flames. The interior of
the barber shop was only slightly damaged
The building is owned by the Lufburrow
estate. The damage to the BARRIERS outfit
is estimated at $50, covered by $500 insur-
ance in Wheaton's agency. Dean says he

BLAZE IN TIE SUBURBS.
Three Houses in Snithville Burned
Last Night.


Three two-story frame houses, owned
and occupied by colored people in the
neighborhood of Smithville. were destroyed
by fire early last night, during the absence
of the families at church. Neighbors and
firemen removed all the household effects
from two of the buildings, but the contents
OF the house in which the fire originated
were burned.
The origin of the fire is unknown. The
damage will approximate $500 or $4,000,
but 1t was not learned last night whether OF
MOI policies of insurance covered the prop
erty.
The alarm of fire was turned in from box
% at the Savannah, Florida and Western
freight depot, but as the houses were located
on the Coast Line railroad near the Waters
road and beyond the water-works facilities
for combating fire, the engines could not
be brought into requisition. The firemen
saved one-story frame building across the
railroad track and opposite the burning
houses, by tearing down the fencing and
keeping the exposed wall Of the house and
the roof vet with water.
An accident occurred to hose reel No. 9,
an auxiliary reel, which turned over just
after crossing the Savannah, Florida and
Western track at the Bolton street crossing.
Inc driver, August Tamm, had his right
leg painfully but not seriously bruised by
being caught under the overturned reel,
which had to be lifted off before he could
be extricated. Some of the spokes of the
drum were broken and the rim bars bent,
but the damage can be repaired at the
nominal expense Of some s. or SO An
other reel will be substituted this morning.

Fire Follows u Tenant.

1t is striking coincidence that the same
agency that was used to set fire to the resi-.
dence of Capt. John Fitzgerald, No. 30 Haber-
sham street, Friday night, should be adopted
in the effort to fire the house of Robert Toll
bert, the colorsd shoemak er at No. 6S Bryan
street, night before last But a much more
striking coincidence may be noted A coored
man who occupied a basement room in
Capt. Fitzgerald's house the night it was
fired removed day before yesterday, taking
a room in Tolbert's house, where the effort
was made that night to burn thu building.
Some one evidently wants TO give him a
smuggling, and without being particular
about what damage may follow in an
attempt to wreak vengeance upon him.

ABOUT THE OYSTER Law.
Northern Capital Looking Cor Invest
ment in Southern Waters.

AASAS Al 0O0SArEa w 6toTS.
The enactment of the oyster law, better
known as the PosteII act, has already
attracted the attention Of oyster men in the
north, and DIR. A. DAIMLER said last night
that he received letter yesterday from a
Mr.. Lewis of Connecticut, advising him
that he is fitting out vessel to come south
at once to examine the waters of the Geor-
gia coast with a view to embarking in the
oyster industry in Georgia. DIR. Oemler
expects Mr.. Lewis will reach here in ad-
vance of the government corps which will
make O photographic survey of Georgia
coast waters. Mr.. Lewis has $3.50, 900 in
vested in the oyster industry in Connecticut
and New Jersey.
Referring to his own position on the
Postell law and the Rice resolution, Dr.
Oemler says that it is a courtesy due to the
gentlemen who supported the bill that how
ever emasculated the bill was he deemed it
best for the general good that the bill
should pass, and be subsequently perfected
after thorough examination of the subJec5
from every standpoint By a commission
composed of intelligent and disnterested
gentlemen, as contemplated by the jliut
resolution Of Senator Rice, which DR..
Oemler earnestly favors
In reviewing his own connection with the
efforts to encourage the oyster industry,
Dr. Oemler says:
Il first prevented the great Importance of
the photographic survey TO Gov. Gordon
prior to the hearing of the bill before the
committee of the House, and therefore it
was not because of having been thwarted
In our expectations of getting the bill passed
In its original form. No ''downeasters"
have had anything to do with
it, nor will it be accomplished
in time TO benefit those who have been in-
terested in the passage of the bill. If any
Connecticut party will invest large capital
in the development of the oyster industry
on territory of sand aud mud heretofore
barren, he should be welcomed.
While do not consider the law perfect
one, do not believe the bill was passed with
unseemly haste. The South G rolina oyster
law is useless in SO far as regards the encour-
agemeat Of the industry, ana consists of
nothing but Intsrdictions

THE GIANTS KEEP THE LEAD.
New York and Brooklyn Likely to be
the Pennant Winners.

GAS E0tlAlGuV w luu6TS.
The base ball situation in the big league
is attracting great deal of attention just
at this time. The race is neck and neck Le-
tween New York and Boston. Last week
the clubs changed positions several times,
and it is becoming more evident every day
that the teams as they now are were never
more evenly matched, and they are all
playing ball. Any one of them has good
license to take a game from the other,
which was made more manifest last week,
as really the winning games were played
by the tail-endsrs.
1t was an even race through the week
with New York and Boston until the lat
tar's unfortunate break Saturday with the
Hoosi RS. New York only managed to pull
herself outof very large hole by tie game
with her old rival, Chicago. The playing
was fine and New York did batting
heavy enough to win any pennant no less
than five home runs being batted out In a
single game with Chicago 1t looks as
though New York viii certainly win, as
Clarkson is tiring out. He has held up
Boston's end all along without assistance in
the box, and it now looks as if he is about
orked down.
In the American association the pennant
seems to be a foregone conclusion for Brook
lyn. While the Brooklyns have played some
what raggedly during the past two weeks
their nearest opponent, st. Louis, is some
what down in the scale, and was pretty
badly drubbed last week. Every game lost
or tied by st. Louis makes Brooklyn's grip
on the pennant doubly sure, even if She loses
half of her remaining games.
The following is the standing of the clubs
I'D to date;

farmers in the Waycross district very good
Scarcely have the crops ever been better.
The season for gathering the crop has also

Mr.. Strickland said that the alliance
is very strong in Ware cou ty, and it is be-
lieved by the business men of the towns in
Ware at the manner of holding the cotton
back which the alliance has adopted will
result in injury to the farmers. The scarcity
OF cotton bagging in the county is notice
