RICE ACREAGE WILL
BE MUCH SMALLER
Planters Are Discouraged on Account of the
Low Prices

THE rice market at the present time
is at very low ebb," said well known
dealer yesterday" The fact of the
matter is planters in Savannah terri
tory, especially on the Savannah and
Satilla rivers, are very much discour-
aged, and the acreage hereabouts will
be very much smaller this season. The
reason for this feeling is the fact that
a large quantity of rice has been dump
ed on the market from the Louisiana
and Texas fields, at a price much low
er than our planters can grow it.
This" continued the dealer, has

NEW WORKERS
ARE ALL BEARS
DEPL0RE HIGH COTTON
ACCORDING TO MIR. LEWIS II. MER-
GER, WHO DISCUSSED SITUATION.

No One Has Yet Come Forward to
Take SulIy's Place and the Only
Hope of the Bulls Is to Import
Brown to the Metropolis - MIR.
Mercer Does Not Believe That
Cotton Will Seek Lower Than Is
Cent Level This Season.
Everything is bearish on cotton in
New York, as I find it," said Mr.. Lewis
H. Mercer to a Morning News reporter
last night.
The fact of the matter is" said Mr..
Mercer, the bulls need and sorely need,
leader. since the retirement of Sully
from the futures ring Up to the pres
ent time no one has come forward to
take the erstwhile Kings place, and
the bulls must import a man, such as
Brown, of New Orleans. if they hope
TO be in the ascendancy.
AT the present time said Mr.. Mer-
Ger, there seems to be little or no
demand on the part of the spinners
for actual cotton. The market seems
to have fallen into a complete state
not willing to pay the present prices
for the near months, when they can
buy Octobers for so much less money.
1t seems to me TO be case of watt
ing for the new crop.
From present accounts" said Mr..
Mercer the crop is very much behind,
owing to the cool weather and the
lack of rains in April, and l very much
doubt If the new crop will be larger
than the old. Cotton at the present
price seems high; indeed too high from
the way it is selling. 1 do not look
for it to go below IS cents despite
what the bears are saying"
Touching the Majors incident, Mr..
Mercer said: II do not know why the
board of directors of the New York
exchange rejected Mr.. Majors appH-
cation for membership, but do know
that 1t was not because he was a bull

caused his turn down. l have not

HORSE PRINTS PAPER
IN TATTNALL COUNTY
Editor Folsom Hit Upon Novel Scheme to Increase
Capacity of His Presses

A newspaper printed by a horse is
a novelty that Reidsville, the county
seat of Tattnall, can boast of.
So far as is known there is nothing
else just like it anywhere in the coun-
try. The horse pressman attracted a
great deal Of attention during the Con-
gressional Convention held in Reds
Vile yesterday.
Not only does the patient animal
grind out every edition of the Tattnall
Journal, which means a great deal,
but 1t is Editor George G. Folsom's
buggy and wagon horse as well. The
Tattnall Journal was issued yesterday,
and the horse was hard at work grind

delegates TO the convention.

JUDGE OBJECTED
TO PAVEMENTS.
Council Passed Resolution Despite
Objections.


The fact that Judge Emory Speel
had objected to Mayor Myers to the
paving OF York and President streets
by the postoffice did not deter the mem
bers of Council last night from voting
for a resolution 10 take the matter W
with the authorities in Washington, to
see If the government can not be in
duced to pay its pro rata of the paving
When the resolution was offered
Mayor Myers said he wished to state
for the information of the aldermen
that he mentioned the matter to Judge
Speer, when he was last holding court
here. and that Judge Speer had Oh
jccted to the streets being paved. The
noise would disturb his court, he said.
Il merely mention for your informa-
ton, gentlemen" said the Mayor.
The resolution was then put and
every member OF Council present voted
for it. Alderman McKenna alone was
absent. Mayor Myers of course did
not vote, as he was presiding.
The resolution was introduced by
Whereas, it is desirable that the
portions of York and President streets,
in this city extending from Whitaker
street to Bull street, should be paved,
and,
Whereas, such pavements imme-
diately north and south of the federal
building in which are located the
postofflce, the United States courts,
and other governmental offices, would
be to the benefit and advantage of said
building, and would greatly enhance
the convenience and comfort of those
entering the same on business, officials
and the public at large, therefore,
1T is resolved. by the Mayor and
Aldermen of the City of Savannah, IN
Council assembled, that his honor, the
Mayor, is requested to take this matter
up with the proper authorities at
Washington. and call their attention
to the necessity of this proposed paw
ing along the front of this building
on the north, and along the rear there
of on the south, (pavements now be-
ing laid along the east and west ends
of the same), and to request the
United States government to bear such
proportionate part of the cost of such
pavements as it would bear as an
abutting property owner if it was
liable under the paving ordinances of
the city of Savannah"
city officials have for SINE time been
anxious to get these two short blocks
paved. When Whitaker street was
recently paved, a bill was sent to the
government as to any other property
owner for it's share of the cost. Moth
ing has yet been heard from this. Be
fore paving the other streets. the Of
hcials want to know whether or not
the government will pay for its
share.

had strong tendency to discourage
planters in this section, for they have
not had an opportunity in many cases
to even realize the cost of production. .
The rice planting season begins April
1, and in this section lasts until June.
The cool weather during April was un-
favorable though the season is too
early 10 prognostcate what the crop
will he.
The rice fields are not yet in a con-
dition for a forecast of the crop, said
the dealer. What little rice that has
been planted is doing we'll, so far as
our correspondence shows, but taken as
a whole, there is a general feeling of
depression among the planters"

wick.
AS outlined in the Morning News,
the Savannah Lumber Association
amalgamated with the Board of Trade
at a joint meeting yesterday after
noon. The merger of the two bodies
was contaminated without opposition,
and the meeting was characterized by
the most perfect harmony.
According 10 the terms Of the coali-
tion the lumbermen were promised the
vice presidency Of the Board of Trade,
and representatives on the board of
directors and the various standing
committees. Mr.. ]. j. Cummings was
the unanimous choice of the lumber
men for president, the office made va
cant by the election of Mr. John r.
Young as president OF the Board of
Trade, in place of Capt. D. G. Purse.
II is understood that when the new
president announces the new commit
tees that the name of Mr.. William B.
Stillwell Will head the lumber COM
mittee. Other lumbermen will have
places on the various committees.
The new president of the Board of
Trade is thoroughly qualified to fill
the duties of the office. He has been
closely identified with the organiza-
ton for a number of years and has
been at the helm on several occasions
during Capt. Purses enforced absence
from the city He succeeded to the
vice presidency of the Board of Trade
upon the death of Vice President Wal
ter McNeill April 80, 1887, and was
elected president the following year,
earning the soubriquet of the Boy Pres
ident. and was reelected twice there
after.
During Mr.. Youngs executive direc-
tion quarantine Improvements and har-
Dor work were the subject of intelligent
consideration, and renewed efforts were
made to stimulate the City Council
TO take action in the former, and the
general government to manifest great
er interest in the latter.
