MELONS ABOUT TO MOVE.
The Georgia Crop VIII Be Short
One This Year


Railway officials, to whom the melon
crop is a matter of great interest, do not
think it will be as large this year as 1t
was last Their opinion is deduced from
reports regarding the crop that have been
sent in from along the lines. These re-
ports indicate a smaller yield than last
year, owing to reduction in the acre
age.
The prices received last year were be-
low the cost Of production in a number
OF instances. This fact induced many
growers to decrease the acreage. The
railroads keep a close watch on the melon
prospects, as upon them they base their
prospects for business during a dun sea-
son. The shipments of melons north are
heavy, and the traffic is one of great i'm
portance. The Plant system makes the
traffic in the juicy fruits speciality. Its
lines run through the heart of the melon
country.
The melon shipments from South Geor-
gia will start about June 25. The move
ment then will be slight, but will in
crease. Already several cars of Georgia
melons have been shipped north Careful
estimates of the size of the crop in its ter
ritory are being prepared by the freight
department OF the rant system. 1heSe
estimates are made from the reports sent
in from the divisions. The business on
each division will be looked after alto
gether by its officials. There will be no
special agent in charge of the traffic. The
railroads are already getting cars in
readiness for the opening of the season.
The fruit is reported as likely to be of
good quality, the weather conditions that
have prevailed having been beneficial to
the vines.
Florida melons have been moving for
some time, and the business is still on a
rush. At the opening of the Florida sea-
son the cold weather at the north made
the demand for the melons slow, but now.
with the coming of the warmer days
greater demand is made for them. The
first car load went through Savannah a
week or two ahead of the first of last
year.

PAVEMENT NOT YET ACCEPTED.
Commissioner WiIIinlx's Report on
OgIethOrpe Avenue.

The prospects for an immediate accept
ance by the city of the Oglethorpe avenue
pavement do not appear to be very bright.
Commissioner OF Public Works Wilink
completed another inspection of the pave
ment yesterday, and after doing so, de-
clined to recommend its acceptance by
council, on the grounds that the company
has not complied with its contract, the
commissioner takes his stand that upon
those portions of the contract, which spec
ify that the workmanship and material
shall be of excellent quality" and the
surface shall be Smooth and uniform"
In the opinion of the commissioner the
workmanship upon the pavement cannot
be described as excellept and the pave
ment is not by any means smooth and
uniform. being fun of undulations and
little dishes or sinks in which the water
stands after every rain.
Mr.. Willink, when seen by Morning
News reporter said that he had no de-
sire to embarrass the asphalt company
in any way. but in the present condition
Of the pavement he could not report to
council that the company had compiled
with its contract. As soon as the company
does this, he said, he would be glad to
recommend the acceptance of the pave
ment
The Warren-scharf Asphalt Company
has in the neighborhood Of $4,000 tied up
in the Oglethorpe avenue pavement and
naturally the company is desirous of Sc
curing Its money. The city treasurer has
the funds in hand with which to pay the
a g q < @ fG
ed by the city and the city is now drawing
interest at the rate Of per cent. per an
nun.
The asphalt company can do one of three
things. 1t can tear up the present surface
of the pavement and relay 1t, which is
apparently the only way of securing a
perfectly smooth pavement or it may make
an offer Of compromise to the city, or 1t
may appeal to council direct to accept the
pavement. Council has the right, the con-
tract having been made by that body, to
accept the pavement without consulting
the commissioner of public works, but in
that case the commissioner is relieved of
all responsibility concerning the pavement
Another means open to the asphalt COM
pany is to sue the city, something which
II Is evidently 10th to do. In this case 1t
would 'be necessary for the company to
prove that it had complied with it's con-
tract in giving the city a pavement of ex-
CtAehb WOTkmdnSnip ana material and OF
smooth and uniform surface.
Mr.. Scharf, junior member of the firm
has been here for some time, giving his
personal attention to the pavement, and
endeavorlng to put in such shape as to
render it acceptable. A number of
changes have been made In the surface of
the pavement under his direction. Some
alterations in the President street pave
ment, to which objections were also made
by Commissioner Williuk, were begun yes
terday.

HAD A FIT AND DROWNED.
Robert Gimn's Fatal FaII From a
Lighter.


Robert Giffin, a 19-year-old white boy,
was drowned yesterday afternoon about 4
O'Clock while swimming in the river.
Giffin, with two or three companions,
was on the north side of the river opposite
the Lincoln street dock There were a.
couple of lighters and tug there and the
boys were amusing themselves jumping
off the lighters into the river.
Giffin is said to have suffered OCCASION
ally with attacks resembling fits, the at
tacks causing dizziness and foamng at
the mouth. While standing on the edge Of
one of the lighters he was seized with one
of these attacks and fell over into the
river. In falling he struck upon the back
OF one of the other boys who was already
in the water, carrying him down with
him. The two boys rose together, but as
they came up Giffin rolled from the other
boys back and was carried by the tide un-
der the lighter. The other boys looked for
him to reappear on the other side Of the
lighter, but this did not happen.
After spending about half an hour wait
ing for Giffin TO come up and calling for
assistance the boys came across the river
in a small boat. bringing Gifhn's clothes
with them. They first went to the police
barracks, where the account of the drown
Ing, substantially as narrated, was given
by Jimmie Hunter The boys said on leav-
ing the barracks that they were going 10

was I'm the employ of Mr.. J, d. Weed, of
her sons death. Coroner Goette was also
notified, but could do nothing, of course,
until the recovery of the body.

LOOKING Up DENTON's SHORTAGE.
The Fidelity and Casualty COmpany's
Investigation.

The Fidelity and Casualty COmpany's
Investigation.
Mr.. T. H. Sprinkle, special agent and
attorney for the Fidelity and Deposit Com
pany of Maryland spent yesterday in the
city, in an investigation of the embezzle-
ment charges against James A. Denton,
former manager of the Nelson Morris
Company's branch here.
Mr.. Sprinkle was not able to say just
what the amount of the shortage in Dem
tons accounts is. He had expected to find
Mr.. A. ]. Bichl travelling auditor of the
beef company, in the city, but was disap-
pointed With the auditors assistance,
Mr.. Sprinkle proposed to go over the
books so as to find the extent of Denton's
peculations. Mr.. Bichl, however, had been
called away by telegram.
The Fidelity and Deposit Company Is
surety for Denton in the sum of $1,000 As
soon as the extent of the beef companys S
losses through Denton can be sdjusted
the Fidelity company will indemnify it.
Mr.. Hull, formerly bookkeeper for the
Nelson Morris Company here, has been
appointed manager, to succeed Denton.
Mr.. Sprinkle has adjusted the losses of
the Armour Company through f r.
Heeseman, the young man who left about
three months ago with a nice little sum
of the company's money. Heeseman was
never caught, and it is not known where
he went. His onslaughts on the companys
receipts here ran up to S1,O57. Some of
this money was secured by his taking
meat and selling ii for his own profit
The usual way with the beef men that
have gone wrong has been to tap the till,
but Heeseman dabbled in stocks The Ar
mour Company will soon be indemnlfied
for its losses by Heeseman.
