AMONG THE BIoYULIsTs.

One Of Them Points Out the Road Law
With Regard to Wheelmeu.
Many members Of the Savannah Wheel
mems Association are absent from the city,
and as an organization it is now doing little
or nothing. In few weeks, though. new
life will be infused into 1t and active work
is expected toward securing the much
needed track and club grounds.
Wheelmen have heartily indorsed the
statements made by the MORNING NEWS
with regard to the inclination apparent
among a certain GLASS of drivers to ride over
bicyclists. 10 this connection a prominent
bicyclist says:
ut has been decided by several judges In
several states that the bicycle Is a vehicle
which has all the rights and IL subject TO
all the pains aud penalties of other vehi-
cles. According to all these decisions bi-
cycle has a legal right to all the road 1t
needs, up to one-half, whenever 10 meets
any other vehicle, be it two or four wheeled,
light or heavy. For refusing to yield the
fair and necessary part of the road, thereby
causing damage 60 bicycles or riders there
or, many men-road hogs they are called
have been arrested and fined more or less
heavily. In one case l have noticed, man,
for interfering with the rider Of a high
bicycle and causing him to fall and hurt
himself, was fined SOS aud imprisoned fifty
days at hard labor. In case OF destruction
| or injury Co a bicycle caused by the driver
OF team refusing to give way, he can be
arrested and made TO pay for the full
amount of damage done.
$50 much for the law. But law is not
necessary to force most people to act prop
erly. / call attention to the law for the
benefit Of the few only, who will not do the
square thing unless forced to. II any such
need force and want a taste of the law they
can probably get it some time in the near
future Bicycle clubs in other places are
combining and dividing the expense to put
such cases through.
ut should be remembered by we'll
| posed drivers Of carriages that a bicyclst,
though he rides very narrow vehicle,
needs more room than one would think and
needs that room quickly, for one Of the
most uncomfortable tricks of a bicycle Is
that the moment it stops, whether because
driven or the hard road into the sand
or for any other reason, it topples
over and IL is just as likely TO fall against
the passing team that has crowded IL
out, as to fall away from it. II it fall
against the moving wheel OF the carriage
the smashing of the bicycle may be the
least damage done. More unfortunate
still, mans arm or leg or neck may be
broken, aud IL the driver of the carriage
failed, elthsr from negligence or vicious
| ness, to give the fair part of the road he
would be held liable. even up to man
| slaughter

THE HYpRoGRAPsIo oFF1CR.

The Cotton Exchange Notified that 1t
VIII Not Be Removes.
The photographic Office at Savannah is to
be continued. This will be pleasant news
to the commercial community. which has
taken an active interest in preventing its
removal. The MORNING NEWS took up the
fight for Savannah first 10 this important
matter, and 1t was its publications on the
subject which aroused the people TO the
necessity Of making an effort to have the
station retained.
Supt. Merrihew Of the cotton exchange
yesterday received the following letter from
Lieutenant Commander Richardson Clover
of the photographic Office Of the United
States navy:
DEAR SRI received the copy OF the resolu-
tions of the board Of directors OF Savannah
passed June 22 regarding the value of the
branch photographic office to the commercial
interest of Savannah. am pleased to inform
you that the appropriations for the coming
year are such as to allow US to continue the Sa-
vannah branch office, aud hope this fall to be-
able to give you time ball service. 1t Is the
intention of the navy department to send soon
an officer to fill tbs place vacated by Lieut.. f.
H Sherman.
The interest manifested by your represent
alive in congress, the Hon. Rufus T. Lester has
been of very material aid in enabling US to con-
tinue the branch Office in your city.

QUITTING RICE ALREADY.
Harvesting Begun on this O9eechee
River Yesterday-A Fine Crop.

Harvesting Begun on ths O9eechee
River Yesterday-A Fine Crop.
Mr.. Wilkins, manager of Mr.. Ralph
Eliott's plantation on the Ogeechee
river, began cutting rice yesterday. He is
far ahead Of any one on the Ogeechee river
and, so far as heard Of. any planter on
either the Savannah or the Altamaha.
Mr.. wilkins expects to have the first
sample OF rice on the market by Sept. or
before. Cutting will not begin generally,
however, until the first or second week In
September.
The crop is about ten days late In this
section on account Of the cold snap after
the first planting in the early spring. The
crop IL unusually fine and il far better than
any in the last few years.
The acreage on che Georgia rivers Is con-
slderably less than last year, but the crop Is
so much better that Il is predicted that the
receipts at this port will exceed Hast years
by $50, 900 bushels.
HEAVY RECEIPTS EXPECTED.
The receipts last year were under 450, 1000
bushels. This year they are expected to
reach SOC, 900 bushels The weather for the
last several weeks has been very favorable
to the crop, the warm sun and the frequent
rains causing 1t TO develop finely. The usual
August freshets have passed without dams
tial storm to fear. This usually occurs
about the time the rice cutting Is well under
way, and il severe and OF several days
duration Is certain 10 cause serious damage.
The planters never feel safe until the equi-
noctial period has passed.
The Louisiana planters have already be-
gun threshlng rice. and in fact their rice is
already on the market Louisiana will this
year raise tho largest rice crop in her his
tory. The crop will reach uD into
millions Of bushels. Last year Louisi-
ana raised over 100000 sacks OF
rice. This year, 1t is claimed, the
Drop will be several times that
amount. A million sacks is equal TO 8, 400,s
900 bushel& II the claims more than ma
teriAlize New Orleans will reoeive over TO-
100000 bushels this season.
CROPS TO THE NORTH.
The North Carolina aud South Carolina
crops are reported to be equally as good as
that OF Georgia. The Florida crop is said
TO be showing up we'll. In addition the up
land rice, which was extensively planted
this year. is said to be In fine condition.
Altogether it IL probable that for
the frst time since the war this country
viii raise all the rioe it needs at home. The
importations OF Japan rice that we're made
In the spring are about exhausted, and the
stock remaining on hand will not affect the
market as was the case last year. Prices
are expected to rule low on account OF the
immense supply, and also because II at any
time the prices exceeds a certain limit, inn
portations OF Japan rice will be made by
the dealers.
Rice planting was only begun in Louis
lana TO any extent about fifteen years ago,
and now it appears that that state will
soon be able to supply the demands of the
entire country.

FIFTY PER CENT. PER ANNuM.
An Incident That Shows Where it Pay

An Incident That Shows Where it Pays
to Invest Money.
The increase of the value Of Savannah
real estate has been exceptionally rapid in
the past six years. In fact, in that period
it has been SO great that to one unac-
quainted with the development of the city
in all directions it might seem as though
values had been forced by some booming
process.
A gentleman referring to this yesterday
mentioned an instance where In 1877 party
purchased half Of a tract OF unimproved
land on Lovers lane for $1,000. Some
years ago he sold it for S., 400. Recently
the other half Of the land, similarly stu
ated and unimproved. sold for $4,000, an
Increase OF over 80 per cent. per annum for
fifteen years.

On Monday will be produced at the Union
Square theater, New York, by Mckee
Rankin and Frederick Bryton, new
American play called "A kentucky Colo-
NEIL" 1t is dramatization OF Mr.. Opie
Reid's famous novel by that name, and
is correct picture Of life in the blue grass
regions OF Kentucky written by Ken
tuoklan who has made a life study OF the
pecullarities OF the people of his state. Mr..
Rankin, than whom there is no better stage
manager in this or any other country, has
personally overlooked every detail and at
the rehearssls which have been had at the
Square during the two last weeks the new
play has developed such charming indi-
vidualtty and such dramatic strength that
every one connected with 10 has
been thrilled with enthusiasm and
pronounce for II a glowing success s.
Both OF the stars are experienced and
famous actors, and no man living is able to
handle a character part such as the Ken
lucky Colonel better than Mr. Mckee
Rankin who two years ago gave us the
"Canuck, one OF the most faithful licensees
ever produced on any stage, One Of the
neat bits OF acting which this sterling actor
will reveal is the mixing of mint julep,
for, says the Colonel" 'it is wicked to
bruise the plant, sir" and then he gently
picks the leaves from the mint and brews a
drink eft for the gods" In the cast will

OF his daughter In the play, and with the
youth from North Carolina are the real hero
