SLOVUOPERATORS USE 11, SAYS OBSERVER Until Country Telegraph ers Learn Importance of Government Messages Weather Bureau is Ham pered. Mr. D. Fisher, local weather ob server, says it will never be possible for him to get good telegraph serv ice from his various substations until “country" operators are forced to realize the importance of iron-clad promptness in the matter of forward ing government messages. "The government and the Western Union are entered into contract, the terms of which are perfectly plain. We keep up our end, they are expect ed to do the same. The average coun try operator, though, Ihinks no more of a government message than he does an ordinary commercial or per sonal telegram. For Instance: a few days ago a certain operator at one of the sub-sttion towns in the cotton region recieved a government mes sage, filed in his office at 8 o’clock, He went to breakfast, took his own good time, evidently, and forwarded the message about 9:15 o'clock. Now that operator will be reprimanded, and for a week or so he'll be prompt Probably it will he a week, or even a year, before the Importance of promptness is felt again. By that time he is more than apt to have be come careless again.’’ Mr. Fisher tells another story of a certain operator in the cotton re gion who used to take his own good lime about sending government mes sages. Finally the Western Union laid down the law to him and he is now toeing the mark. "The telegrams from that town used to get in here anywhere from 9 to 10 o'clock,” said Mr. Fisher. “Now they come in every morning about ten minutes after eight.” Mr. Fisher said that prospects for heavy showers is still good. "Wo need rain,, he said, "and for several days now there has been gratifying indication. But it verily seems the prospect don’t materialize like it should.” LOCAL COTTON CROP RUSHED TO MARKET Dr. J. E. Greene Says Two- Thirds of it Already in Hands of Ginncrs. Dr. J. E. Greene, president of the Savannah Valley Associated Farmers' clubs, estimates the cotton crop in the territory embraced by the various or ganizations of this union to be only 5C per cent what it was lasi year. "Two-thirds of the crop," said he, "is already in the ginncrs hands. It will be rushed to market. l!y the last of the month all the crop will be gone, or a greater part of it. 1 figure that ihis year’s crop will only be about hair us large as it. was last year. “There is no chance now for a ton crop. The farmers figure that it the tojis bloom before September l»ih they’ll get a top crop. Now it is too late, as only a very few top blooms have appeared." Last week a farmer came to Augus ta with six bales of cotton. Just one year prior to that date be came to town with six bales. The differ ence in total weights was insignifi cant. And yet his six hales in 1901 brought just ?100 more than Hie sale of the same number tills year.

J. Oliver yesterday wired Mayor Dunbar that he was shipping another outfit to Augusta to rush con struction work on tho canal and ha proposes lo finish the task in the stip ulated lime. The outfit will probably remit here In lime for commencing work Tuesday and Ihis will add ma lerially to the working forco on tho canal. The new outfit coming will con sist, of about GO mules and 100 men and will make a total of nearly 200 mules ami about 3,000 men at work on the canal hunk. Mayor Dunbar slates that the situ ation is rapidly becoming brighter and tho chances are tlint everything will be in order as first figured out. When Ihe banks are filled In to a sufficient depth to turn In water enough to start ih t > pumps water will be sent up to the reservoir at tho rate of easily 10.000,00 gallons per day. Tlie reservoir is now virtually emp ty and for this reason It will take some time to fill It. up as It holds about 50,000,000 gallons. However, It will take but a short time to got in plenty of water and after tho first day’s operation of the pump waior will probably bo turnod on for only twlco dally, three hours In the morning and Ihroo In the afternoon, During this time about 5,000,000 gal lons will lio lurnod loose each day under normal pressure. This will allow 5,000,000 gallons dally to accu mulate In the reservoir and within ten days or two weeks It will he fill ed up entirely. There are many rumors and false reports going the rounds that the uew supply id' water will not ho cleared up as usual. Mayor Dunbar Htntod that this Is not trim and that sufficient water can ho filtered and clarified In one night to supply tho city's needs for n day. Tile coming of Oliver’s new outfllt will mean tlinf Ihe factories and all Industries depending on the canal for power can probably begin operation two weeks from today as stipulated In Ihe contract. AUCUSHS WILL BE WITNESSES Messrs. John E. Miirpltcy and W. A. Smith Appear Before Interstate Com merce Commission. •» a The Inter-State Gommerco Cnimnln alon Is meeting In Atlanta today In decide the- freight rate case in which a two-cent advance Is proposed In flour, meats, meal and grains from common western points lo Augusta and common Georgia and Carolina points. Messrs. John K. Murphey th Go., and W. A. Smith, of Smith Bros., wen! lo Atlantal last night, and will appear before the eouimlsslnn on be half of the local merchants. Both of these gentlemen are thoroughly ac quainted wllli ihe situation and will lie aide lo present Ihe facts In a com prehensive and coniine way to the commission. Other delegations from various Georgia cities will appear before the commission and the Railroad Commis sion of Georgia will also look after the Interest of all tho cities involved. In Ihe Augusta ease the question of differentials Is the main feature and through dlserlmtnltlon on the part of the railroads If Is alleged that Nash ville Is favored above all other cities, and merchants In that city can sell small lots of flour, meat, meal or grain, which can he shlppud from Nashville to Edgefield, Batoshurg, Waynesboro, nr other similar points cheaper than Augusta merchants can supply them on account of through rates on small shipments from Nash ville, Augusta merchants at first did not kick on the proposed two cents In crease and submitted a statement to the effect tliiil they were willing for the Increase to go Into effect provid ed It was general and no discrimina tion he made against the city. How ever, they declare that the lack of differentials works against the city and consequently Is a discrimination. On these grounds tlmy will contest the advance and there Is a general Opinion liti'* rd Unit It will not go Into effect. It has been held up Hlnce the first of August through ari Injunction granted by Judge Speer and since Hie proposed increase was decided upon the railroads have received more busi ness and are Iri a prosperous condi tion, according to uulhentlc state ments. The outcome of the hearing will be watched with keen Interest throughout the south hh upon it will probably hinge the decision affecting all the states Included 111 Hie proposed Increase of rates.
