For thou* who hold to the rule that
oysters are palatable during every month
whose orthography contains an "r." the
oyster aeuiion I* now on. This rule, how
ever, la no! followed Yu the letter In Sa
vannah.
The average Savannah!.in, whoae appre
ciation of the toothsome bivalve Is second
to none, holds that the season for the
ovster Is Indicated by the atate of the
thermometer rather th.in by any Web
ale rlan rule of letters. He Is Inclined to
hold that the oyster season does not ar
rive until the mercury ceases to rise
above 90, with monotonous regularity,
and for Ihe proper development for gas
tronomic purpose* of the luscious bivalve
be prefers a temperature ranging down
ward to Ihe seventies, at least. In fact,
there are many people In this particular
portion of the moral vineyard who dis
avow Ihe rule of "r" as applied to oys
ters and who eliminate September alto
gether as an oyster month, preferring to
wait until the middle of October before
partaking of this delicacy.
Inquiry at the City Market yesterday re
vealed the fact that there was not an
oyster for solo and the marketmen to
whom the queries were put seemed at a
loss to establish any connection between
the fact that the day was Sepl. 1 and
that according to Ihe rule of R, as enter
prising market dealers they should have
had oysters for their customers. It was
Slated that there would probably be few
oysters In this week, but the general con
sensus of opinion sis that It was too hot
for oysters and that there would be no de
man for the bivalve* until the middle of
the month at least. Some of the restau
rant keepers stated that they expected 10
receive their first supplies of oysters for
the season thla week, but remarked that
they expected no demand for them until
cooler weather set In.
A grexi many people are of the opinion
that the oyster remains poor and fl tbby
until cold weather sets In and that he.
she or It then begins to take on fat, which
process Is greatly assisted by rains suffi
cient to bring the slime and detritus from
the upper water course* upon which the
oyster thrives. An old resilient of Isle
of Hope, lO Whom this view was mention
ed. however, said that it was all non
aetiae.
"Oysters are good at any season of the
jtsr," he declared, "but It Is practically
impossible to keep them In hot weather,
so It does not pay to bring them to mar
ket."
However, the other view Is more eom
monly held. There iisi ie-ee ,-viiaidei able
discussion of recent years of the possible
extinction of the oyster In thesa waters
because of the unrestricted access to the
natural beds and the fact that the laws
afford but little protection to those <n
gnged In the propagation of the oyster.
The marketmen, to whom this supposition
was mentioned, hows-ver, hooted at the
Idea and declared that the supply was
m mpte for all local need*, notwithstanding
the heavy inroads made upon the beds
during the last two or three seasons by
the inning faelork* at Thunderbolt, \Vll
mln.ion and elsewhere In the county.
•Tie supply of oysters thla season will
b.. ample." said Mr. Ilarbee. of Barbee U
Tardy at Isle of Hope. "The bed* mty
laic been cleamsl out In the near vicin
ity of the factories, but there will be no
lack of supply for the local market. The
oystermen have gone out to the lusts in
their boats, and w 111 doubt lest, begin send
ing In their supplies In a day or two.
Tuere will he no demand, however, un
til the weather cools off a bit.”
While the local oyster doe* not enjoy
Ihe high esteem accorded by epicures to
lha Blue Points. Sadie Rocks. Mobile
Plsnts and other famous varieties. It I *
nevertheless a sweet and toothsome arti
cle, ami not- to tie despised when properly
served up In n stew or pan roast, or some
other of the doxen or more methods known
fo the culinary art, and Its appearance op
the market under favorable conditions of
weather will be welcomed by numerous
admirers.
OUTLOOK FOR A LET-l'P.
The Hot Weather I* Almnat Over and
I omlorlnhlr Day* nt llnml.
September opened with the outlook for
a let-up In the high temperature* that
characterized August. The maximum for
the day occurred at noon, and was only
87 degree*. The mtplmum, which was
at 6a. m.. was 71 degree*. The rainfall
between <1 o'clock In tb* morning and *
o'clock at night, was 1.73 Inches.
If the present month l* to be Judged by
September of last year, the hot weather
Is about over, and a long line of bright
and comparatively comfortable duys ai
hand. During last September only seven
times did the thermometer reach 9 de
grees or over, and the highest! point
reached, IN. occurred comparatively early
In the month. On one day. the 17th. the
highest point reached was only 73 de
grees. The minimum for the mot th was
U degrees, and occurred on the 27th. The
average mean for each day was 76.4 de
sire##.
I rained only four times, on the 16th
17th. llth. and 21et. and the total amoum
of the precipitation was 4.22 Inches. Th.
normal rainfall, however, 1* 6 12 tnche-
Oue of the thirty days, twenty-two were
perfectly dear, five partly cloudy, atel
only three cloudy.
The stale forecast for to-day Is showers
and thunderstorms. To-morrow, also,
there will probably be showers. Fresh
winds, mostly northeast, may be ex
pected.

Some Individual amused himself and an
gered the superintendent and the firemen
of the northern section of She depart
ment by turning In an alarm from box
12. at Broughton and Jefferson streets, at
1 o'clock this morning.
Fire Companies 1, 2 and 2 responded,
only to find that here was not even a
lighted match in the neighborhood of the
box which hail been sounded. The only
excitement created sprang up with the
advent of the apparatus.
A man who was near the box at Ihe
time the alarm was turned In said he
had seen a pair of while boya break the
glass and spring Ihe lever. They had run
away down Jefferson street before he
could apprehend them. or. Indeed, before
he was assured that there was not good
reason for turning In the alarm. It Is
believed the young rascals will be caught
Hupt. Maguire stated that the hoi
was turned In improperly more often
that any other of the system, although It
Is located on a murh-used thoroughfare,
and ought to he almost all the time un
