THE WATERMELON CROP.
shipments So Far This Year Ahead
of Those of 1894 and 1898.


In spite of the fact that a short crop of
watermelons has been persistently report
ed the shipments from the watermelon
territory this year so far are way ahead
Of those for either of the two years pre-
yious.
on Friday June 26, there was a total of
us cars of melons moved to the north,
northeast and northwest. 1O6 of which
were from Georgia and II from Florida.
June g. 1880, there was heavy shipment
amounting to 246 cars, but for June 26,
1894, the total shipments were only 1913
cars The grand total of the shipments
this year to June q 1896, has been 1,219 cars
while up to the same date last year the
total shipments We're Jos ears, and for 1894
up to the same date they were lob cars.
This is a comparative statement of the
shipments of watermelons, made from
the melon territory covered by the Plant
system, for the last three years. The total
shipments to date for this year as will be
seen are heavier than in either of the 9TH
er years for the same period. There seems
to be little doubt however, that the crop
is shorter this year. and 1t is expected the
shipments will become lighter little later
on.

THE CONCERTS ABANDONED.
The Music Culture Club Unsuccess-
fnI in Its Enterprise.


This Music Culture Club will give no con-
certs next season. The committee hav-
ing in charge the receiving subscriptions
for the five concerts it was proposed to
give, has decided to abandon the project
as the public does not seem DESTROYS of
taking the season tickets.
Up to yesterday there had been but
eighty-two season tickets subscribed for,
and the necessary 1000 had to be taken
by July 1. 1t was therefore decided to
give 1t up. The music-loving people of
Savannah can never expect to hear such
celebrities as Nordica, Rosenthal, Joseffy,
Urso and the twenty other frst-class ar
lists the club offered them at 81 admis-
sion. 1t could only be done here by means
of subscription club as was proposed.
Mr.. i. Lloyd Owens, secretary of the
Music Culture Club, says: THE people
of Savannah seem to think that they are
doing US a great favor when they sub
scribe for a season ticket for these con-
certs whereas We are giving our time and
attention to the matters of this club, and
each one of our committee pays as much,
ana some or us more, for the concerts than
the ordinary subscriber. The class of con-
certs that We have this year been in a
position to secure and offer the public,
would haYe been given by some of the
foremost stars in the world of music, and
are certainly not such as the people
should be begged to take tickets to go to
near. The public does not seem to want
them, and so our efforts would be futile,
and we have decided to abandon the pro-
Jeet as DESTROYS as we ourselves We're of
nearing the proposed artists

GREEN ROOM TALK


Butte. March 7.-Congress is once
more besieged by committees of dra-
matte authors who are urging tho pas
sage of law to prevent play piracy.
That such law is one of the great
needs for the protection of authors
there is no question or doubt. but IL is
a noticeable fact that some of the ''au-
thors" and dramatists who are loudest
in talking for such a law have never
been known to write an original play,
but have been notorious i'm their dis
honest methods of appropriating the
ideas and works of others. They see a
strong scene in some unknown play
and II is theirs. and they fit il into
another scene derived from a similar
source. and they have a new play in
the possession of which they desire
congress to protect them. They resur-
