WANTS TO BRING CONGRESS.

Capt. Purses Plan to Secure the
Needed appropriation for the River.
Capt. D. G. Purse, chairman of the river
and harbor Improvement committee, has
another unique plan for creating favorable
sentiment and getting congress to vote
sufficient appropriation for the twenty-six-
foot project. The idea is the most novel
yet proposed, but whether it will be carried
into execution is something which will
be decided later on.
Il is nothing less than to bring congress to
inspect the harbor. Capt. Purse wants to
take the Kansas City to Washington and
invite the congressman and senators and
President Harrison and his cabinet to
Savannah and get a practical idea Of what
is needed to make this port one of the
leading ports of the Atlantic He thinks
the invitation might be accepted. and il 1t
is that the result will be an almost uuani-
nous vote to give Savannah what It wants.
The reception to President Harrison aud
congress, should Capt. Purses idea be car
ried into effect, would be one Of the grand
est affairs ever seen in Savannah. II the
national legislators get taste OF Savan-
nah's hospitality they will be as enthusiast
tic over deep water as the Georgia
legislature is.
A meeting of the committee will be held
tomorrow, and the matter may be brought
up for discussion then

The original Prendergast tract included q
portion OF the parade ground and ten acres

which is bounded by Anderson street on the
north, on the south by the north line of the
lots on the north side of Second street, on
the east by within two lots of Habersham

The fact Of a portion of the parade ground

Prendergast tract will compel the city to
become party defendant to the suit.

soura oARoLINA's RICE CROP.
Pretty Seriously Damaged by the Re-
cent Rains.

Pretty Seriously Damaged py tne re-
cent Rains.
The South Carolina rice planters DO not
seem to be as we'll off as those around Sa-
vannah. A Combahse planter says to the
! Mems and Courier concerning the effect Of
the rains on the crop:
"TIaavv rains commenced about ten days
| AGO and have been almost continuous ever
! since. producing the highest freshets known
| for year in the EdstO, Ashepoo, Combahee
! and Coosawhatchle rivers
| IAN the upper plantations on these rivers
are subnerged. and will sustain heavy loss
! both in the quantity and quality OF the rice
produced. All of the young rice overlooked
will be destroyed, and all of that older rice
which is ready to cut and overlooked will
sprout and be g total loss unless the water
recedes at once. The only thing that has
saved the lower plantations has been the
westerly winds, which have driven off the
tides and taken off a great deal of the
freshet water. If the winds had been east
erly and the tides been driven in, the loss
would have been very great.
"If the rain stops in Il few days the dam
age will not be as serious as was expected,
but what has already happened will affect
the crop materially both in quality and
quantity.
Some of the planters in the upper parts
Of the several rivers will be heavy losers,
one OF them, on the Savannah train on Sat
urday evening, stating that he would not
make a single bushel.
"All of the rice crops on inland planta-
tons, which were supplied by reserves, are
very seriously damaged. Fortunately but
very few planters have commenced cutting,
Or the losses would have been much heavier
The same floods three weeks later in the
season would have imperiled the entire
rice crop in this section.
II was told this evening by a gentleman
just from Cooper river that the prospects
there ara as bad or worse than ours in Com
bahee, all Of the upper plantations being
under water and the freshets being the
heaviest known in years.
