CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
An Appeal for a Society to Protect
Dumb Animals.

Savannah, Sept S.-Editor of the
Morning News: Can you tell me if
there is in this city a society for the
prevention of cruelty to animals? If
there isn't one l hope you will advo-
cate the organizing of one immedi-
ately. Poor dumb creatures ought to
have some protection. l am sure you
would think so if you had seen what
occurred a few days ago at the corner
of Duffy and Montgomery streets.
A little dog had been run over by a
street car. The poor thing had drag
ged itself to the sidewalk, and its head
lay on the stone curbing. Along came a
young mana young brute, l call him
and jumped with both feet on the
head of the suffering dog He did not
succeed in killing it only in increas-
ing its sufferings. Then a lady
came along and she undertook
to kill the dog by giving it chloro-
form, which she obtained at a nearby
drug store. The dog, however, was in
such pain that the drug had no effect
upon 1t. Along came a policeman and
with his club struck the dog several
blows on the head, and thus ended its
misery. And what heartlessness there
was while all OF this was going on
The crowd that stood around was
laughing and talking, scarcely one
seeming to realize that a creature-a
dumb creature-was suffering as much
as II could suffer and live And do
you know the poor dog need not have
been killed at all IL that brute of
young man had not jumped on its
head? He could have been doctored
and In short time would have been
about again.

WEATHER STOPPED
RICE HARVEST
This Will Be Resumed When Days Are Fair, and
Good Crop Is Promised
Means bad air, and whether it
mes from the low lands and

The rainy, threatening weather of
the last few days has interfered with
the harvest of the rice planters. Oper-
atoms in the fields have been suspend
ed, but they will be resumed immedi-
ately upon the Temperance of fair
weather, and the planters do not be-
lieve that the interruption will have
caused any damage to the crop.
Rice commands a good price now,
but it is feared that the good crops re-
ported from Louisiana and Texas will
result in decline. Should this not be
the result, however, rice planters of
the Atlantic seaboard and, particu-
larly, of this immediate section will
make money. The season has been
an admirable one, and a big crop will
be harvested if the harvest months are
not signalized by bad weather.
Mr.. w. G. Morrell said yesterday that
the interruption in the harvesting came
at stage when but a very slight pro-
portion of the crop had been harvested.
1t is the practice of planters, as far as
may be practicable, to cut the rice
when it is about per cent. green as
the samples show up best under such
conditions. To have the crop reach
this percentage of ripeness and then
have spell of Indictment weather ap-
pear is not injurious, provided the spell
does not continue long. Four or five
days do not hurt the rice. Two or
three weeks, however, of wet weather
cause it to mature completely and even
begin to sprout 1t is Mr. MorrelPs
opinion that this wet spell will end be-
fore any damage is done the crop.
Promise of "a Good Crop.
The rice that is now ready to be har-
vested is that which was planted in
March. The June crop will not be
ready to cut for a month. Both crops
have had only the best weather con-
ditions, and the yield will be heavy. 1t
is an unusual thing for the planters to
have two successive good seasons, but
the present promise is that such an ex-
perience is now to be enjoyed Last
season they had a big crop and got
very good prices. This year there is
every IiulSdtlOH that lneT6 Will De a
big crop, and the prices, at present, are
good.
Little apprehension of a storm is felt.
August has grown to be regarded as
the month of hard blows, which back
the water into the river, causing it to
overflow the rice lands and running the
grain. AS there has been no storm
thus far and as the present unsettled
weather conditions have brought no

ment was received on Mr.. Adams
49th birthday.
Was a Deserved Tribute.
The appointment of Mr.. Adams TO
the Supreme bench of the state is
deserved tribute to his ability as
lawyer. He has long been recognized
by the bar in Georgia as one of its
most prominent and distinguished
members, and it is his thorough
knowledge of the law and the skill
and prudence which he has shown
in the conduct of his cases which has
won for him the deserved tribute en-
bodied in the appointment to the Su-
preme bench.
Modest and retiring in his nature,
Mr. Adams appointment came as
have the many other honors which
he has received, unsought. 1t has
always been his desire to follow a
judicial life, and for that reason the
honor is the more highly appreciated
Mr.. Adams has lived in Savannah all
of his life. He attended the State Uni
versity, from which he was graduated
in 1872. at the age of eighteen. In
March. of the following year he was
admitted to the bar, and was for sew
eral years thereafter a member of the
firm of Meldrim and Adams, until he
went into partnership With his brother,
the late Judge Alexander Pratt Adams.
This partnership continued until 1882,
when Mr.. Brantley A. Denmark was
taken into the firm, and the name
changed to Denmark, Adams and
Adams. Shortly after the death of
Judge Adams, Mr.. Davis Freeman be-
came a member of the firm, and short
while ago Mr.. A. Pratt Adams, a son
of Mr.. S. z. Adams, was made a men,
Der, the firm assuming the name
which it now bears of Adams,
Freeman, Denmark and Adams, Mr.
Thomas N. Denmark being made also
member of the firm.
Mr.. Adams has been city attorney
for more than fifteen years, but i'm
mediately after his late election an

the office again. For a number of
years he has held the presidency of the

Fight Against Rice Birds.
Rice birds have not yet descended in
their greatest strength upon the fields,
but they have sent their vanguard,
Some of the plantations report that
none of the birds have yet appeared
while reports from others indicate that
the toothsome delicacies have descend
ed in feathered hordes and are waxing
fat on the grain.
Rice birds as table delicacies are
regarded with delight by epicures
said Mr.. Morrell, but they are the
bane of plantations. They appear in
great clouds, darkening the air, and
their forays upon the rice causes the
planters considerable loss. So great
would be the havoc wrought by the
birds, if they were allowed to prey
without hindrance upon the grain, that
the planters are forced to resort to pro-
lection that means a daily expense On
every rice plantation there are a half
dozen or more negro boys employed at
40 cents a day, whose duty it is drive
away the birds.
THE planters not only pay the boys
wages, but they furnish them with
guns and powder and percussion CAPS
They are given no shot, however, for
that would mean that they would shoot
among the birds to kill them. There
would be no objection to this, if it were
not that the boys would then go out
into the fields and trample down the
rice in their efforts to find the dead
birds. Even as it is, however, the
boys manage to do more than make
noise. AS they have no shot, they
load their guns with coarse sand
which is effective against the birds at
close range"
1t is. of course. the object of the
planters to have the noise of the re-
ports brighten the birds away. The
boys have instructions to fire their
pieces just when the f1ocks of birds
are about to alight in the rice When
this is done the flocks are frightened
away.
Market for Old Guns.
This practice of the planters SUP.

are not very costly, and $1.50 each is
regarded as the market price. An in

NEW TELEPHONE ROUTE.
Southe rn Bell t. 81 II. Co. Has Put Up

More Than 800 Miles of New Wire.
The largest piece of long distance toll
line telephone work ever built in this
country al one time has just been COM
pleted by the Southern Bell Telephone
and Telegraph Co. 1t consists of a
new pole route, the sole property of
the company extending from Savan-
nah via Waycross as far south as
Jacksonville, with branches connecting
Townsville, Bruins wick, Darien, and
all intermediate cities and towns of
any consequence.
The magnitude of this piece of work
is not alone in the amount of territory
covered. though the new lines extend
more than three hundred miles, but
rather in the excellent service that is
offered. the lines out of Savannah he
ing equipped with five copper metallic
circuits, or ten wires. How great an
improvement this is over the former
service is shown by the fact that te-
fore these circuits were completed the
company had but two circuits or four
wires and these were operated on poles
other than the eompany's.
The new route and equipment have
been made after the most modern
specifications and the service Is rem
