THE DROUGHT WELL BROKEN.
The Rain Badly Needed in Eastern
and Southern Georgia.

The Rain Badly Needed in Eastern
and Southern Georgia.
The drought in this part of the state has
been broken. The MORNING NEWS dis
patches have already given a statements in
brief of the condition of the crops in Geor-
gia. Director Morrill, in HIS bulletin for the
last week says in referesce TO the eastern
and southern sections of the state:
There has been practically no rain in
Eastern Georgia. At many points none has
fallen in more than three weeks. Oats
have suffered chiefly; they are now head
ing out, and, without rain, the yield will
be short Corn is growing rapidly and
vegetables have stood the want of rain so
far. Tho latter paintings of cotton are not
up yet on account OF tho dry soil. The
choppinR of early cotton will begin this
wesk. Corn hos good stand and blowing
has commenced. Bud worms have appeared
at a few points during the past week and
birds are doing some damage. There is
complaint Of poor stands of sea island cot
ton. Melons are late and the stands not
particularly good. With rare exceptions
the fruit crop has not suffered seriously
from early frost or the present drought.
Strawberries, peas and early vegetables arc
going into the market.
Although the week has been fair one for
the crops of the southern section, many
complaints are received of the almost total
absence Of rainfall. The soil from lack OF
sufficient moisture is somewhat baked and
difficult to pillow. Cotton planting is still in
progress, but generally the crop is all in
and much Of it up. Some correspondents
report slight injury done by insects to
young plants. The melon, vegetable and
fruit crops are in most excellent condition
but would, as is the case with other crops,
be much improved by few good showers
during the next week. Potatoes, although
all planted, are not yet up. Reports relative
TO the oat crop indicate that it is more in
need OF moisture than any other. Garden
truck is, as rule. in excellent condition,
but sadly in need Of rain.
Very little rain has fallen in the south
east counties, and the long drought mas
slightly injured the cotton crop. Farmers
are we'll up with their work. The gardens
arc about planted and are looking fine.
Truckers are picking and shipping cabbage
and peas. Planting is still being continued
vigorously at few points, while in some
places the dry weather has prevented it..
The light rain on April u brought up the
newly planted crops where it fell. Recent
rains, il is thought will bring up the re-
planted oats, and rain is very much needed
in billy and sandy places. Corn is all
planted and coming up. Some siding and
replanting is being done. There is not
much complaint of bud worms At some
places corn is coming up badly, because of
insufficient warmth in the soil and not
enough rain.
Oats, potatoes and rice crops have a good
appearance Tue fruit crop is not doing az
Weil as might be wished.

THE FuM1aATINa STATION.
Something About the New Plant I
Be Put in at Quarantine.

Something About the New Plant to
Be Put in at Quarantine.
The city has advertised for bids on the
plans for a fumigating plant and new sta
ton at quarantine, which probably means
that the plant is to be put in at an early
date.
An appropriation for this plant was made
by the city council when the budget was
made up at the beginning Of the year, and
If it is found, when the bids are opened,
that the plant can be put in within q reason
able cost, the city will, in all probability ,
authorize its construction and have the
work done at once. The council Is prac-
tically unanimous in favor of the new plant.
and, with the exception Of formal action, it
has decided to establish IL.
According to the plans now ready in the
office of the city engineer the new plant is
to be 40 feet in length by Al in width, and
is to rest on pile foundation. The piles
are TO be capped with heavy timber, and
upon these caps pillars are TO be raised,
which at high water will stand three feet
above the surface. UUon these pillars rest
the stills Of the building which are TO be
bolted to the caps by iron rods through
brick. The floor is to be OF brick and
cement and the walls Of the building Sc
cured also by iron rods.
Above the building at a hight Of thirty
five feet there is to be q 1900 gallon BIZ
chloride of mercury tank. This is for the
purpose of washing down and disinfecting
the vessels stopped there. The building is
to comprise three different apartments, one
of which is the boiler and engine
room. Another of these contains
superheatIng apparatus for the
purpose Of disinfecting clothes by
steam heating and sulphur fumes, The
osher apartment contains an apparatus for
producing sulphur fumes which are 10 be
transported to the holds Of vessels through
O long tube.
The drawings and plans for this plant are
modelled after those of the Charleston fumi-
eating and superhesting plant, which
cost ABOUT $4,000 This Charleston plant
is the best at any station in the south, il not
in the United States. 1t is complete in
every particular and is just such a plant as
is needed at this port The proposed plant
TO be put at quarantine here is modelled
after the Charleston plant but is to be built
on a little more extensive scale. The fumi-
eating tank is to DO larger and the station,
according TO the specifications, will have a
larger capacity. The establishment Of this
plant will place Savannah's quarantine
station among the first and best in the
country,

NO MORE SUNDAY FRUIT.
FRUIT VENDORS TO ANSWER FOR
DOING BUSINESS ON SUNDAY.

One of Them in Greece, Which Sheriff
BlOis Says Is Out of His Territory.
Other Indictments Brought in and
the Arrests Made Yesterday The
Pulaski Knitting Mills Applies for
an Amendment to It's Charter.
AS City Sheriff Blois walked into the
court yesterday afternoon, be remarked :
~ have arrested all of the parties indicted
for doing business on the Sabbath but one
George Cosate. and he is now in Greece,
which 1 consider somewhat out OF my ter
ritory. l hardly think l could get there
and back in time for court tomorrow"
Cosate has gone TO join the Zante suffer
ers, and if he survives will be back in
about two months when the grand jury'5
bench warrant will be served upon him.
Eleven othor indictments by special pre-
sentiments were found on Tuesday against
number of Greek fruit vendors for doing
business on the Sabbath by the grand jury
OF the city court, but the arrests were not
made until yesterday.
Two were against I. Sampson and one
each against John Dave, A. GasDarinich,
N. Fandora, Arthur Casote, Patrick Nc
Murray, Leo Mauco, Y. Christopher, Leo
Benas and Robert Mitchell. These parties
are the proprietors of fruit stands at varl-
Gus places around the city, and some of
them run their business all night long, OK
tending it on Saturday night into the Sab
bath morning. Others have kept open on
Sunday in direct violation of the laws of
the state.
With the exception above mentioned they
we're all arrested on bench warrants ytster-
day by Sheriff Blois, and all Of them gave
ho1d for their appearance before the city
court. Their Sunday business has in some
instances assumed the shape of fragrant
violations Of the law, and some of them are
said to have aided in Sunday liquor selling.
Their arrest on these charges has given
general satisfaction to the city officials.
Indictments were also found against the
following parties, who were also arrasted
yesterday, but were released on boud:
Gable Young. concealed weapon; William
Dolly, same charge, Edward jackson, same :;
George Roberts, same, and Solomon D.
Horton, assault and battery. The grand
jury Of the city COURTS called in session
again to-day at 2 p. m.

IT Is BEING CONSIDERED.
Talk of Getting a 5ub-Treesury Esta
lished in Savannah

Talk of Getting Sub-Treasury Estab-
lished in Savannah.
The matter of having an assistant United
States treasurer's Office, which amounts
TO about the same as a sub~treasury estab-
liohed here, is being looked into by q num-
Der of prominent Savannah bankers, who
have an interest in the commercial and
financial growth end prosperity of the city.
While no direct efforts are being made TO
get such an institution here just at present,
the matter is being considered, and several
gentlemen prominent in the Savannah
financial world are looking about for lnfor-
nation both with regard 60 what course to
pursue in order to secure such a branch of
the government treasury and also as to
the advisability Of making application to
the government with view to securing
such branch.
A meeting of the bankers of the city was
held some time ago to take this matter I'M
der consideration, but the only thing that
was done, so far as can be learned, was to de-
eide that such an institution would be Of
material advantage to Savannah, and that
1t would be advisable to make the effort 20
secure it. Since then the only steps that have
been taken, so far as can be learned, have
been the ascertaininR of what course to pur-
cue in making the application, and such sd-
dltional information as was necessary in re-
gard 70 such Institutions.
1t is altogether PROBABLE that the applica-
ton for such branch of the treasury will
be made. Savannah is one of the most i'm
portant commercial towns in the south, and
stands perhaps next in Importance to New
Orleans. If one can be established in this
section there is no valid reason why Sayan-
nah should not have it.
