THE GOLD HURT THEM.

1t Was Too Severe for Some of the
Truck Crops.
All of Chatham county's crops with the
exception of tomatoes have been harvested
and shipped. The crops did not turn out as
werl as had been hoped for early in the sea-
son. The yield of pease, cucumbers and
beans was poor, and there was but three
fifths crop of potatoes. Cabbage was about
the only truck which yielded a full crop, but
there was such an enormous amount thrown
on the market from Florida aud other
points that prices ruled very low. In view
OF this no practical advantage resulted from
the big crop.
Potatoes brought fair prices, but not as
good as In some previous seasons.
Tomatoes have done and are doing we'll,
and those farmers who have paid attention
to this truck will get good profits from the
product
Maj. Ryals was asked by a MORNING
NEWS reporter yesterday for an explana-
ton OF the short crops this year. He said
that the last cold snap was probably the
principal cause. The peculiar feature about
the cool wave was that it nearly destroyed
all the crops south of Savannah, while it
left no visible effects on the farms around
here. The farmers were happy, as they
thought they had escaped the misfortunes
OF their neighbors further south. Later on,
however, the crops began to show they had
received their share of attention from the
cold. The vines began to wither, and the
potatoes, cucumbers, pease and beans gave
evidence that they had been blighted.
When Maj. Ryals discovered his truck
blighted he at first thought the trouble
arose from the quality Of fertilizers used.
He visited neighboring farm where there
were considerable volunteer potatoes; that
Is. potatoes growing from soil where no
fertilizers had been used. Here he found
the same conditions as existed at bis farm
and he became satisfied that the cold
weather had gotten In its work in stealthy
| fashion.
Maj. Ryais thinks. too. that there is
something in the atmosphere since the cold
snap which is injurious to the crops. He
bases this theory on the fact that cucum-
bers that he planted after that period show
identically the same injuries as those that
were in the ground during the cold. While
there was no white frost, Maj. Ryals thinks
the temperature went low enough to thor
oughly chill the SOIL

Seventy-niue girls TO 80 boys, or 40 more
girl graduates than boys, or twice as many
girls as boys graduating from the schools, is
thus shown.
The addition of the high school graduates
will not help the showing any. Fifteen
girls and 10 boys graduated from the
High school, which makes the to-
tai number of graduates from
all the schools ninety~four girls and forty
nine boys. At this rate Savannah is rails
ing more intelligent lot Of girls than boys
Perhaps this accounts for the increasing
list OF old maids. No girl wants to marry
man intellectually her inferior, and vice
versa few men like to marry a woman
whom they feel to be their superior intel
lectualIy. 1t is out OF the natural order of
things.
The question is why does this state of af-
fairs exist Supt Baker says, and bis is
the general opinion, and probably the COR
rect one, that SO many of the boys leave the
schools to go to work at an early age that
there Is constantly increasing difference,
as the grades rise between the
numbers Of the boys and girls.
As it is now, not one
half Of the boys that enter school
graduate even from the grammar schools,
and only very few, comparatively, gradu-
ate from the high school. As soon as the
boys are able TO command few dollars a
month for their services they get positions
in the railroad and business offices, and
some few begin 10 learn trades More boys
are employed, probably, in the business
offices OF Savannah than in any other city
in the state. The result is, while the boys
get some ideas OF business, they grow up
ignorant Of many of the branches Of a COM
mon school education, or with only a smat-
tering of them at best.
One Of the principals says that the reason
OF the small number Of boys in the schools
Is that lady teachers, who are 50 largely
employed IN the schools, cannot control
them, and the result is the boys become so
unruly that either their parents take a
put them to work, or the
principals are compelled to expei them.
This principal Is somewhat old fashioned In
his ideas, and says that an occasional good
thrashing would have more effect on the
boys than a month of admonltion.
There are a smaller number of BOYS
coming up in the grammar schools now in
proportion to the whole number than ever
before. Ii Is a subject, the teachers say,
worthy Of the most serious consideration by
the parents and the friends Of education,
For one thing it shows very plainly
the need of good night school as well
equipped With teachers and all school APP
planes as the day schools are. Instead of
an attendance of 100 boys, such q school
should have between 200 and 300 BOYS.
The benefits of such schooling to the bows
employed during the day in the offices and
trades would be incalculable, and would go
a long way to lessen the present discrepancy
in the number of girls and boys educated
at the public schools

EDWARD M. GREEN EMBARRASSED

Inability to Dispose of Exchange and
the Money Strin gency the Causes.
The financial embarrassment OF Edward
NJ. Green, large cotton exporter, was
quite generally discussed yesterday. It was
also talked about in business circles on
Friday and Saturday. Mr.. Green's paper
went TO protest Friday. No mention OF the
matter was made in the newspapers because
it was thought that he would overcome his
difficulties, aud there is chance yet that
be will. One Of his attorneys has gone
north with the view of getting money to
tide him over his troubles, which eliminated
ON Friday because of his inability TO dispose
OF bills OF exchange and the tightness Of the
money market.
Very great sympathy is expressed for
Mr.. Green. His house Is one of the Oldest
in the cotton exporting business, and has q
splendid reputation for honorable dealing.
No assignment has been made yet, aud
Mr.. Green and his friends still hope that
there may be no occasion for making one.
No statement of Mr.. Green's liabilities and
assets, therefore, has been made. 1t is re-
ported that his liabilities are in the neigh
borhood of $100,0o0
Two mortgages were filed Saturday. One
is III favor of the National Bank of Savan-
nah for $l5, 400. The other is in favor of
these mortgages are subject to q
mortgage in favor of the Central

The Dead Man Fled.

There Is gruesome comedy connected
with the death OF Marchesico Dominica,
which occurred on May 90 from chronic
alcoholism. About o'clock on the night
Of his death Dominica entered tho restau-
rant at 1889. Stockton street, says the San
Francisco Chronicle where, after partak-
Ing of light repast, be bowed his head on
his right forearm as if intending to indulge
in few minutes sleep.
The proprietor tried to awaken his Sleep
ing guests by shaking him tirst, but failing
to get any response, he vaiHlY tried the
rougher methods of pinching, punching and
hair pulling. Irritated at the obstinate re-
fusal of the man to awaken, he called in
Officer Linsky to remove him to prison.
That officer valiantly and firmly graspetf
the renosing man about the waist, and gave
strong and quick pull to thoroughly estab-
lish bis prospective prisoner on firm foot
ing. Dominica was bodily lifted from the
chair, but his legs remained as in q sitting
position, and his head rested on his fore
arm. horrible thought suddenly struck
HUSKY. He dropped the man with the
startling excIamation: "Why, he's deadr'
The restaurant keepers hair stood on end,
and the officer was not little startled to
find that he had attempted to arrest
corpse The coroners wagon was sent for,
and Dominica was removed 10 the morgue'
The body was laid on slab, and the coro-
ner's deputies retired to the upper offices.
Meanwhile Dominica, who had been in a
trance, became conscious of his surround
ings, and it took him no time to collect his
muddled thoughts and hasten away to the
more congenial atmosphere of the street.
He had not departed more than half an
hour when deputy coroner had occasion
to go to the receiving room. He was horri-
fed to find that the slab on which Domi-
nico had been placed was deserted, and that
not trace Of the body was TO be found. He
hastily made his exit, and. cambering up
stairs with bated breath and quaking legs,
he told OF his CHASTITY discovery to his col
leagues. For some time every one officially
connected with the morgue was paled by
the startling intelligence What occurred
was kept a secret, while the deputies
went forth to hunt the corpse. Body
snatchers were supposed to be at the bottom
of the strange disappearance, though a sus-
picion seemed to lurk in the minds of the
startled and quaking deputies that there
was something supernatural connected with
Dominicos sudden leavetaking.
While the deputies were attempting to
solve the mystery telephone message an
nounced the finding Of thu remains of a
dead man. When the body was removed
TO the morgue the ghostly features were
found to be those of the escaped Dominica.

TWO GIRLS TO ONE BOY.
That is the Ratio Of Graduates Fror

That Is the Ratio Of Graduates From
the Public Schools.
The recent graduation exercises OF the
grammar schools and the publication of the
list Of graduates brought out one fact.
among others, which is more interesting
than pleasant. and which deserves the at
tention OF parents, teachers and the board
Of education.
An examination of the published list of
graduates shows that the girls outnumber
the boys two to one. This is not because
of the greater brilliance Of the girls, but
because the boys were not there TO grad
uate. II was not because there are so many
more girls than boys in Savannah either,
which Is hardly the case, but because the
boys are not attending the schools.
The following list Of graduates of the five
grammar schools will serve TO show the diff
ference in numbers between the two sexes

DEAR SIRs: l wish to give my testimonial In

Biliousness, etc.
In 1868 l was attacked with bilious muscular
rheumatism. and have been martyr to It ever
since. tried all medicines ever heard Of and
all the doctors in reach. but found only temper
cry relief; the pains were SO bad at times that
did not care whether I lived or died. My diges-
ton became so impaired that everything ate
disagreed with me. My wife also suffered SO
intensely with dyspepsia that her life was bur
den to her; she would be confined 20 her bed for
weeks at the time; she also suffered greatly
from giddiness and loss of sleep.
Some time in March was advised to take p
p p. and before we (my wife and II had finished
the second bottle Of P. P. P. our digestion be-
gan to improve. My pains subsidized so much
that have been able to work and am feeling
like doing that haven't done before in a num-
Der of years. We will continue taking p P. p
until we are entirely cured, and will cheerfully
recommend 1t to all suffering humanity Yours
very respectfully ]. S. DUPRISS.
