GETTIN LIP.

The Duke of Wellington slept on an iron camp bedstead eighteen inches wide, and argued that when a man wants to turn over it is time to turn out" Edward Everett Hale quotes this remark of the Duke in the Ten Times One Reccord," and takes issue with him. "The principle is well enough says Dr. Hale. but I think the detail is wrong. Sleep is far too important to be made uncomfortable. D Dr. Hale goes on to tell of various in genious devices for automatically walk ing sleeper. A friend of his fixed his alarm so that at the foreordained moment the bedclothes were dragged from the bed. The same gentleman found another contrivance which worked better. The alarm struck a match, which lighted the lamp which boiled the water for Rossiters shaving
 If Rosster stayed in bed too long the water boiled over upon his razor, and clean shirt, and the prayer book his mother gave him, and Coleridges auto graph, and his open pocketbook, and all the other precious things he could but in basin underneath when he went to bed; so he had to get up before that moment came. ."-Chicago In.er-Ocean.

CRUSHED TO DEATH.

Annie Holcomb of New Britain Killed
 by a Third Rail Car in That City.
 New Britain, Dec. 15.-Miss Annie Holcomb, daughter of Mrs. Rittie Hol- comb of 93 North Stanley street, was struck and instantly killed by a third rail car at the Stanley street crossing at 10:1S Wednesday night.
 Miss Holcomb was returning to her home, having been up street shopping, and when she arrived at the Stanley street crossing freight train 220, in charge of Engineer James Darling and Conductor T. w. Thompson, was switching. The brakeman uncoupled the train at the crossing so as to open a passage-way for a few minutes, and Miss Holcomb started to cross.
 She was struck by a third rail car in charge of Motorman Lee Smith and Conductor F. Mattoon, which was trav- cling west to the New Britain depot. The conductor of the freight train mo- ticed the third rail car approaching and shouted to Miss Holcomb but she did not hear him.
 She was carried about thirty feet along the tracks before the third rail car could be stopped. She was dead when picked up. Her limbs were brok- en and her skull fractured at the base. There was no disfurations of the face and body. Miss Holcomb was highly estimable young lady and was about twenty-five years old. She was employ ed at Traut &, Hines factory and re- sided with her mother at 93 Stanley street. The body was identified by her brother, Stanley Holcomb, a conductor on the lines of the Central Railway and Electric company. The body was taken to the family residence this morning and the funeral will probably take place tomorrow afternoon.

RICE.

The season of 1S97-98 was very satisfac-
tory TO the planter and the miller. Good
prices were received for the product and
the supply was about 100000 bushels larger
than the previous year. The receipts were
quickly miiled, and by spring the entire
crop was disposed of at fair prices.
The acreage planted this season was
about 20 per cent. greater than that Of
last. The average YIELD was not expected
to be as large, from the fact that the dry
weather during the early spring planting
season allowed salt water to enter the rice
considerable extent. The upland crop also
the early growth of the crop.
The harvesting began about Aug 20, and
1t was expected that the crop would be
housed before a storm would come to de-
stroy it. This expectation did not mate
rlaiZe as the storm which passed over
this section on Aug. 3d. played great havoc
in the rice fields. The excessive rains and
high tides flooded the fields and caused
great damage. The only fortunate feature
is that the wind was not from the sea and
there was not so much salt water carried
over the fields as would have been the
case during a northeast gale. The damage
cannot be estimated until the water sub
sides, but there is no doubt that a large
proportion of the crop is ruined.
The first shipment of new rice was re-
ceived here the day after the storm.
The following statement shows the ex-
ports of clean rice for the past year and
for 1867, and Of the local consumption in
barrels of $50 pounds:

FINANCIAL.

From a business and financial standpoint
Savannah has done comparatively well
during the last year. In some lines there
has been an increase of trade, while 9TH
ers have managed to hold their own.
Payments have been fairly good, and al
together there is little cause for complaint.
With the record of the past year as a
basis, and the indications for the future,
it may be said that the prospect ahead is
particularly good.
There has been plenty of money avail
able for the conduct of all legitimate bus
mess, and the rates of discount for the
last six months have been unusually low,
because OF the accumulations of money
in the big financial center. Indeed the
banks have complained that they have had
more money on hand than they knew what
to do with. One bank here, as will be re-
menbered, telegraphed Gov. Atkinson at
a time when he was going to New York
for the purpose Of borrowing money for
the use of the state, that Il would let him
have $4,000 at low rate Of interest until
Jan. !, 1898.
The fact that the banks have let out
less money this year than last Is lndica-
tive Of one encouraging fact at least, that
the farmers have made their crops with
less expense than heretofore, and the
chances are that even with low prices
they will have something left over to do

PHOSPHATE ROCK.

The exports of Florida phosphate rock
from Savannah kept up exceedingly well
during the year considering the cir
cumstances which worked against the
trade. During the past season there was
a large crop of cotton to move and all
of the available steamers took as much
OF the staple as possible. IT was entirely
different from the previous season. When
the crop Of cotton was small, and ships
were compelled to take phosphate rock TO
fill up.
During the spring and summer war in
terfered with the chartering of steamships
to take full cargoes, as freights were adj
vanced to a price beyond profit, and this
had, in a great degree, the effect of short
ening the exports of phosphate rock.
During the year there were SO steamships
taking phosphate rock, against So steam
ers the previous year.
The total shipments were 70,540 tons.
The following table shows the monthly
exports:
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-09-06

Total tons OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. ,0fO
Shipments were made every month in
the year, except August. The greater
part of the exports of phosphate rock were
to Germany, while Italy, Great Britain,
France, Belgian, Holland, The Neither
lands and Russia each received a portion.
The facilities for handling the shipments
at this port have been unquestionably
of a superior character. A number of
steamships were loaded in a remarkably
short time and there was no delay in the
handling of the rock from the time 1t left
the mines in Florida until it was aboard
the steamships.
The coming season promises TO be the
largest in point of exports of phosphate
rock than any previous year. It is said
that there are a number of large orders
already placed, which will be filed as soon
as ships can be had to move the rock.

tive amount Of phosphate rock shipped
from Savannah to Europe for the past

FERTILIZERS.

Notwithstanding the removal of several
factories from the coast to the interior and
the diversion of the fertilizer interests
from seaport cities to towns situated di-
rectly amidst the territory which con-
sumes the most of the manufactured pro-
duct Savannah held her own and even
showed an increase in the amount of ex-
ports during the past season. The amount
of fertilizers shipped over the railroads
and steamboat lines during the past sea-
son, closely approximate 100000 tons, the
largest amount shipped during a single
season from this port There are only three
factories left in Savannah, and these have
shown their energy and enterprise in main
tanning their business under circum-
stances that We're aggressive I'm the eX-
treme.
The discovery of phosphate deposits in
Tennessee is destined TO have a most salu-
tary influence upon the agriculture of the
middle eouth. There Is no doubt but that tbs
development of the Tennessee phosphate,
the prices of fertilizers win be greatly de-
creased, and the use viii be largely In
creased. 1t is said that the low prices that
will, in the future, prevail for the super
phosphates of lime will make the thin
soils of the middle South among the most
profitable for cultivation
The potato and other vegetable crops
may be stimulated, so as not only TO dou-
bic the yield. but TO mature quickly and
reach early and bare markets all through
the North Central states and so command
the best prices.
While the situation points directly to
cheaper prices for fertilizers. 10 the ulti-
mate benefit of the farmer in the raising
of general food products in addition to the
universal cotton crop, and the tendency Is
TO move factories towards the interior IL
is to the credit of those interested in the
Savannah factories, that up to the present
time, there has been an increase In the
volume of business, even If the PROFITS have
not equalled those of previous years.
The following tables show how the
transportation of fertilizers was distrib-

OCEAN FREdGHTs.

Steam cotton freights during the season
of 1S97-1S9S were fairly steady through
out the entire period OF cotton shipments
showing comparatively little variation in
local quotations for room to United King
dom and continental ports.
There was a large volume Of business
done from this port and the supply of ton
mage to move what cotton offered for
shipment was ample, except late in the
spring Of 98. when few boats were berth
ed, owing, doubtless, to the poor rates
ohtainable earlier In the season.
