TRUCK GARDENS DAMAGED.
BY the Recent Heavy Rains and
Light Frosts.


Light Frosts.
The truck gardens and other crops
in this section were considerably dam
aged by the recent heavy rains and the
loss will be heavy to many producers.
A truck gardener living three miles
from the city on the Ogeechee road said
yesterday that his garden had been
badly damaged by the rain flooding
the ground and drowning out the cab
page, turnips, carrots and other vege-
tables. Others in the same section
suffered like fate. The truck
farms were in excellent condition"
said he, land were better than ever be-
fore at this season of the year and
the product bringing good prices OF
course there is much truck that can
be saved and marketed, but the rain
mas greatly injured the freshness and
changed the quality, which will make
our prices lower. The light frost of
the last two mornings has also added
to the damage, though this would not
have occurred had the ground not been
so wet and vegetables soaked"
Despite this, the supply of vegetables
IN the market are apparently of a good
quality and very plentiful. Nearly ev-
cry article of produce can be had and
at the usual prices.
AT the market yesterday afternoon
and last night the shopping was graft
flying to the dealers. In the building
the First Regiment Band had been sta
toned and dispensed music during the
early evening. This livened up the
crowd and proved a good attraction.
The band had been engaged by the
butchers and other dealers. and It
tended to liven up the crowd. The
music will be continued every Satur-
day until after the holidays.
The meat supply yesterday was
splendid as was also the quantity of
game and fowls. Several deer were dis
played at different stalls besides guam
titles of wild ducks, turkeys, quail,
squirrel, etc. Several stalls were decor
ated with green and the entire sur
roundings had a decided holiday ap-
pearance.

DISCOVERY OF COFFEE


Coffee was first discovered in the
sixth century by an Arabian shepherd
who having observed the goats of his
flock skip about and display other
signs of intoxication after eating the
coffee berry concluded to try it's eff
fects on himself, and thus discovered
its exhilarating property.
This discovery proved the poor shep-
herds undoing, for he indiscriminate-
ly used large quantities, green, for
its exhilarating effect and soon died,
poisoned by its use.
In the sixteenth century, 1t was in
troduced into France, and was used
so strong and excessively, particular
ly by the Parisians that it was found
to injure alike the complexion and di-
gestion. This discovery prevented its
general introduction into other Euro
pean countries for the next century.
Since that period, its growth has
gradually spread through the civilized
world, despite the fact that pain and
destruction follow its path, dyspepsia

WHILE SELLING A BIBLE
AuctiOneer Cochran Was Restrained
by City Marshal From Finishing

AuctiOneer Cochran Was Restrained
Sale.
The book publishers sale, which be-
gan yesterday afternoon. at Bull and
Congress streets, at o'clock. stopped
at S:15 o'clock. Not of its own volition,
however, but because City Marshal
Dreeson had said it should.
The sale started off with a rush.
and though it was short lived. over
100 books had been sold be-
fore the strong arm of the law was
interposed. Attracted by the sudden
appearance of the temporary book
stand, many had gathered when the
sales were opened.
How much am I bid for this hand
some new family Bible" cried Mr.. A.
B. Cochran. as he raised it to view.
One dollar, two, who'll give me three?"
But the sale was not consummated.
Marshal Dreeson staid the hand of the
auctioneer. Where is your license 2"
he asked. Mr.. Cochran informed the
officer that he was not the auctioneer,
that he was merely crying for Mr..
LaRoche, under whose license he was
selling.
You will have to close up" the Of
ficer said, and close up they did, for
Mr.. Cochran had no desire to disobey
the orders of the officer. In a few
minutes the building had been cleared,
two of the doors closed. and a neatly
lettered sign transmitted the intelIi-
gence, "There'll be no sale tonight"
1t all came about in this way. Mr..
and Mrs. Cochran, who are itinerant
book-dealers, engaged in auctioneering
off books bought at sacrifice sales,
arrived in the city on Thursday. They
had their stock of books moved into
the quarters recently vacated by Liv-
ingston's Pharmacy, and went to see
the Mayor. They were told that the
license to auctioneer was 500 a year.
Then they went to see Mr.. LaRoche,
and he in turn went to see the Mayor.
They were told that Mr.. Cochran could
not cry the books without a license.
But when o'clock arrived, the ad-
vertised hour for the sale, the offerings
were forthcoming. And they came fast.
The books were offered at a ridicu-
lously low ffgSe. Many who had
come to the phce out of sheer curios-
ity soon found themselves loaded down
with books. The auctioneer knew his
business, too.
Here's new unabridged Webster's
bid? Thirty cents? l enjoy a joke.
Two dollars 1 have Modern make,
this book-and old word-phthisic, ap-
pendicitis, automobile, ping-pong.'
Here he was stopped by his wife.
you don't mean to say Ping Pong Is
really in there?" she asked.
Here 1t is: Ping Pong, a parlor
game of tennis. How much am bid?
Two dollars? The idea of selling that
book for two dollars. Do L get another
bid? No? All right, two dollars"
Mr.. Cochran explained after that he
had been instructed by Mr.. LaRoche
to go ahead. and that he thought
everything alright. The matter. he
said, will be arranged to-day, in some
manner and the sale will be continued
on Monday. Mr.. and Mrs. Cochran in
tend to stay in the city for several
weeks. They will be required to pay a
license of $50 for six months. together
with tax on stock in trade.

Improper Conduct of a Strange Man
in Eastern Part of City.

1t was reported yesterday that a
young white man, about thirty years
of age and wearing a brown suit of
clothes, has been making a habit the
past few days of terrorizing school
girls in the eastern part of the city.
The man, it is said, loiters about the
streets about the time school is dis
missed and stops the little girls en-
deavoring to talk with them. The chill
dren have become greatly afraid of
him, and several parents have kept
their children home on this account.
Friday two fathers of girls who had
been stopped by the man laid for him
in the places he had been in the habit
of committing his misconduct, with the
intention Of finding out the reason of
his actions. but he did not show up.
The gentlemen intend to teach the in
truder a lesson he will long remember,
unless he can give a very satisfactory
explanation of his deeds. If ever he is
