The cane and corn crops are
showing the effects of the absence
of rain together with the atten-
dant hot weathen They can stand
some more days of dryness, but
not too many. If a rain does not
come soon, the splendid prospects
of the present will be somewhat
hampered in growth, resulting in
consequent smallness at the ma
turity period. The present crop
however, has been made cheaper,
and it would be pity if anything
happened to interrupt the plan
ter's aspirations for the coming
season. In the early part of the
year labor was scarce, and the
quality not of the best, but even
these obstacles were overcome by
splendid management and econo-
mical practices up to the period
when the crop WAS turned over to
nature for growth and maturity.
"a good rain now would be worth
something in millions. Frank lin

Small tenement houses are In great de-
nGnd. Real estate agents cannot supply
the demand. and as a result rents are
goirg up. Capitalists are 10th in putting
their money out because of business uncer-
and the difficulties met with in Sc
caring labor.
For each vacant house in the city there
are dozens OF applicants. Rents are too
high for many families. and as a result
fats and apartments are being taken, and
many families are doubling up SO as
to relieve themselves of the high prices.
a prominent real estate man said yes
to-day evening that the situation is a Sc
rious one. with no immediate relief in
sight. There is plenty of building being
cone but in nearly every instance the
houses going up are for immediate occu-
Fancy by the owners.
Small houses. renting from So to $40

of them can be rented out at once.

Mr.. Harvey was, at the age Of twenty
one, appointed aide-de-calnp, with the
rank OF colonel, on the staff Of Cover
nor Green, Of New Jersey. He was ap-
pointed and made chief of staff by Cow
crnor ALBEIT, and declined another re-
appointment at the hands of Governor
werts. He was also appointed Commits
sioner Of Banking and Insurance by
Governor ALBEIT, but resigned the place
after a few months in order to give his
Iull time to newspaper work. He also
declined the place of Consul-General at
Berlin, which was offered to him by

EDITS THE REVIEW.
Early in 1899 Colonel Harvey pur-
chased and became editor of the North
American Review of New York, per-
haps the most noted Of literary and
critical periodicals in the United States
On taking charge of it, he made this
statement of his aims: The policy of
the North American Review" will be
more poignant in the future. Its articles
will be written by men of the hour. They
will be popular in their character, while
possessing at the same time dignity
and weight. The result of this policy
was threefold increase in the crcula-
ton of the Review, which is now more
than double that of any similar period
ical in the world. In such manner Colo
mel Harvey has since that time been
conducting the Review From the
daily political paper. and from the keen
competition of business enterprises. to
editorship, was a marked transition, but
it has been successfully sustained.
IN CHARGE OF HARPERS.
J,, 10 j,oan
publishing worlds We're startled by the
announcement that the world famous
publishing house of Harper and Broth
ers'' had been overcome by financial dis
tress. The parties in interest solicited
the services of Mr.. Harvey TO under
take the work of reorganization. He
accepted the difficult mission and with
in two years succeeded beyond all eX-
pectations in restoring the good name
and standing of this great publishing
house. He swept aside elements which
had crippled it. readjusted its finances.
introduced new methods: and made it
notable for enterprise. The result has
been an enormous growth in the BUSH
ness of the house, and the permanent
establishment of its name and prestige
as a leading American publishing firm
the world over. Of the. many successes
that have marked Mr.. Harvey's career,
there is not one which speaks more elo-
nuently of his peculiar genius as man
of letters or his powers as an organizer
and financer.
But while his work as an editor and
as a financier occupy much Of his time,
Mr.. Harvey, like all men OF affairs. has
discovered the secret of making time,
and is prominently identified with Demo-
cratic politics in the State of New Jer-
sey he is recognized in the State as
a leader and in national politics as a
man of energy and intellect. 1t is I'M
derstood that in the event of the State
going Democratic, Colonel Harvey will
succeed John kean in the United States
Senate. He is also spoken of as a pos
sible vice-presidential possibility.

STRANGE END OF
THE POLICE CASE
Officers HuIcher and PendIeton
Were Discharged by Justice
CrutchfieId.

Both Policemen L. II. Hulcher and v.
Pendleton were discharged in the Police
Court yesterday.
Mr. HuIcher was charged vita ASSAULT
ing Mr.. PendIeton with a club. and the
latter was charged with shooting Mr.
Hulchar. The affair started from
Joke on the part of Mr.. Hulcher. He
and hit Mr. PendIeton- The canteloupe
hurst all over Mr.. Peudlaton and he got
mad He didn't know who threw It. but
he did say that the man who did so was
a dirty. contemplate cur. When Mr..
Eulcher heard what Mr.. Pendleton said
he went after him to tell him about 1t.
and to explain that the whole thing wsa
simply joka But his explanation
made things worse, for when Mr.. Pen
dleton said he had nothing to retract in
what he had said. Mr.. Hulcher got mad
and pasted Mr.. Pendleton over the head
with his club incidentally the club
was broken. Then Mr. PeudIeton pulled
his revolver and shot Mr.. Hulcher TN

.STR|NG|NG WIRES
CONTRARY TO Law
The Richmond Telephone Com.
pany Fined in the Police
Court.

For stringing wires and cables over
their poles from the old exchange to the
new the Richmond Telephone Company
was fined $40 in the Police Court yester-
day afternoon.
In the nearing of the case the City At
torney and the City Engineers did not
agree upon the construction of the ordi-
nances in reference to the case.
The latter thought the company
had a right under their franchise
to put as many wires as they
desired, without infringing upon any
dinance Of seven years standing that
provided for the placing Of all wires I'M
der ground. This ordinance for long
time could not be enforced, because OF
the stand taken by the Bell Company In
the United States courts. The Rlch-
mond company was allowed to continue
it's wires overhead and no action mad
been taken to compel them to so under
ground since.
Mr.. Pollard said the ordinances under
which the complaint had been made was
a police regulation and that such regu-
lations took precedence over any ordt-
nance or charter when life and property
were in jeopardy.
City Electrician W. II. Thompson
said that the Telephone Company were
going contrary to the ordinance when
they strung wires on poles without per
NIT from him, and he read the ordi-
nance on the subject.
Through it's officers, the company said,
they were acting under a permit from
the City Engineer and the City Elec-
trician, dated last January, in which
permission had been given to erect GER
tain poles. They understood that this
permission included the right to string
wires They also stated that a. petition
for an amended charter was now pend
ing before the Street Committee, and
that the committee had instructed the
Company to proceed with the work Of
putting in its new plant, SO the city
could see what kind Of service would
be given. They did not see how they
could proceed with the work unless they
we're allowed to put in their wires.
The company has practically completed
this part Of it's work
On the 18th, instant. the Street Com
mittee will fix a date upon which the
proposed amended charter will be con-
Sdered.

FOR A FALL FESTIVAL.

Representative of RObinson's Shows
VIII See Local Merchants To-day.
Mr.. Ira Trube. business manager for
the Robiuson's shows. reached Sa-
vannah yesterday morning to arrange
for the coming to this city of the Rob
inson Carnival Company now showing
in Augusta, where it will close its
present engagement tomorrow night
Mr.. Trube's idea is to interest the
merchants of Savannah in having a
sort of fall festival to take place here
sometime in December. probably the
week beginning Monday, the 18TH He
was in consultation with some of the
most prominent merchants yesterday
A meeting of the Retail Merchants
Association will be called this after
noon to consider further the project.
The visitor is satisfied that a fes-
tival such as he suggests and at the
time proposed, would draw a lot of
people to Savannah, particularly, as
that is about the time for Christmas
shopping, and figures therefore that
the retailers win be materially bene-
fitted by having the festival.
AS to the kind of show he will pre-
sent, he has an excellent recommends
ton in a telegram received last night
from T. S. Raworth of Augusta. ex-
allied ruler of the Lodge of Elks of
that city. 1t says: Dan Robinson
shows best ever in Augusta; clean,
up-to-date and money getters. We
are more than satisfied with them
