THE RICR CROP.

The Damage Expected to be Fully as
Great as First Predicted.
That the rice crop of the Savannah river
will be considerably shorter and poorer in
quality this season, as compared with last,
seems to be no longer matter of doubt.
The first rice threshed after September
proved to be of better quality than was
expected by the planters, and this gave rise
to hope that the damage by the rainy
spell had not been as great as was antici-
pated. But as the threshing continued the
rice became poorer. and soon proved that
the early predictions were correct.
What the total damage will be cannot
be known, however, for several weeks until
all the rice is gathered aad threshed. Usu-
ally at this time Of the year the most of the
rice has been harvested and placed in the
market, but the continued bad weather de-
layed work to such an extent that some of
the planters have fully one-fourth of their
crops still 10 the field, and the heavy fogs
aud dews Of thelast few days have tended to
further delay matters.
The longer the gathering of the crop Is
delayed now the greater will be the loss, as
the birds are f1ocking TO the fields and de-
stroying the rice. One planter said yester-
day that he was satisfied that at the end OF
the season the receipts at the mills would
be far below what they were last year.

TO FUF UP PACKAGE BOXES.

Public Convenience.

The Pos.offdce Departments New
Public Convenience.
The new postoffice package boxes will be
placed in position to-day. There are fifteen
/ in all. but only five will be put up to-day,
and tho others as rapidly as business
requires. The boxes are made of wood,
covered with sheet iron, and are about four
| feet by two feet, and painted dark green.
| The city council committee on streets
and lanes held a meeting yesterday, and
gave Postmaster Doyle authority to place
| the boxes at whatever places he thought
proper.
The boxes will be placed at the following
points
Southw west corner of Broughton and Whit
taker streets.
Southwest corner of South and East Broad
streets
In front of Strong'S drug store. at Bull
street and Perry street lane.
Yonge's drug store, corner Duffy and
w hitaker streets.
Kieffer's drug store, corner West Broad
and Stewart streets.
Boxes will also be placed in the hotels if
they desire it. At present no boxes will be
put on Bay street, as the postoffice is con-
venient to all who have packages to mail.
In The event. however, of the removal of
the postOt2ce to other quarters, boxes will
be put at convenient corners on that street.
Postmaster Doyle is considering the ad-
visability Of changing the hour Of closing
the mails on Sunday from 10:30 o'clock in
the morning to 30 o'clock in the afternoon,
and also TO have mail collected from the
business section of the city by carrier be-
fore the closing hour. Under the present
arrangement if business man re-
ceives a letter on Sunday morning
which requires immediate attention he does
not have sufficient time to answer 1t and get
to the postOfiice before the closing hour.
Consequently the letter has to lie over until
Monday morning. Postmaster Doyle thinks
this 100 much of hardship. and proposes
to make the change as soon as possible.
Another Improvement TO be made shortly
is the building Of two neat little wagons,
shaped as boxes, with covers, for the
collection of mails on long routes.
In the rear of the wagon is
step similar to those on omnibuses, on which
the carriers will stand while driving, and
thereby obviate all trouble heretofore ex-
perienced in jumping in and out of sulky
whenever the contents of a letter box are to
be taken. This arrangement will also do
away with the mounted carriers
1t is rumored that several changes will
take place in the office force shortly.

blowing its head off. The body Of the
snake, exhibited by Baxter, was over sis
feet long, and. with the head, it must have
been nearly seven feet long. 1t had six
