ter hearing the evidence In th* caaaa
against Mr. Monthan and llndlng that
! tH'- latter had hired extra help to re
move the trash, did not feel im lined to
nnr him. Bflll th* chlrf of police baa
complaints galore mad* to him that
garbage ta not removed and that there
nr* sot enough carta to gather up same.
The Scavenger.
Mr Jam** Monthan has the contract
to dean Ih* rlly. When that contract
was made, no such thing aa a Civic
latagur was In existence. The scaven
ger cleaned the city to everyone's per
f. ctlun before Wednesday last. That
waa Civic Deague cleaning day. The
next day he found be had more on
111* hand* than he could well accom
plish. The rcault Is numerous com
plaint* from cttlxen* that garbage I*
left In front of their door*. They go
and comp lain to the police.
Now, la the scavenger to blame?
Who Is to Blame.
A well-known gentleman, talking on
the subject thl* morning. *ald to The
Herald that he believed that aa the
Kcavanger had mad* the contract to
clean the city, he should go to all ex
treme* in hiring men to clean the
Streets at once,"
'lf this I* not done," said he, ‘‘glek
n*K« will result.”
"But should we blame the scaven
ger ?” asked The Herald man. "He has
hired extra men to clean the streets,
and ta doing all he can to get the gar
bage removed."
"Well, If that's an, the city council
should take a hand In the matter, and.
If necessary, put all the city bunds to
work removing the traah. The rock
gang should be brought here and put
to work and in a day or so all would be
cleaned up,” he replied.
The Civic League has certainly caus
ed a big stir In the matter of cleaning
streets, and lias given the city scaven
ger the biggest Job he has ever tackled.
It may be a good while before the good
results of the cleaning day are realis
ed. but It will come.
Just have a bit of imtlcnee with the
scavenger and do not report him be
cause an old shoe or a barrel stave la
not removed Instanter from. In front of
your residence.
All will be removed shortly and then
no city 111 the United States will be
cleaner than Augusta.
Only One.
Only one.

There wa» immediate n*ed of th.iua

that the weod business along the road,

of wood, and wood train* are now run
aa required.
At certain times of the year It wa*
admitted that there was a congestion
cf the cotton and fertillier traffic, and
this merchandise could not be moved
a* promptly as desired, but tbe defen
dant denies all the other allegations
The next affidavit was from Mr. W
E. Strong, foreman of th* car shops In
Charleston, and was to the effect that
the cars reeGved from the Augusta
Southern were dirty on the Inside and
with loos* wheels and trucks. They
were In very bad order. They were at
once changed to standard requirements
and are now In use.
Another Affidavit.
Following came an affidavit of Jas.
Meehan, superintendent of motive pow
er of the S. C. & 0. R. R., who had as
sumed his present duties on January
1, 1898.
The affidavit stated that on March
1, 1897, the condition of the locomotives
was as follows:
llofore Major Gumming could proceed
with th* reading of this paper, Mr.
Wright objected, saying that the wit
ness was incompetent, owing to the
fact that the date of his becoming su
perintendent was after the date in his
affidavit.
Mr. Lamar objected also, stating that
Meehan's account of stock, in connec
tion wlib this affidavit, differed mate
rialyly from the inventory. The es
sence of the paper which Major
Gumming did not complete, owing to
its length was that the stock when
raceived was ramshaekly.
The conclusion of this affidavit gave
the cost of ordinary and extraordinary
expense's for repairs, also the standard
of deterioration or depreciation in val
ue through ordinary or average wear
and tear.
It- Bad Order.
The next affidavit was by the fore
man of car repair*. The condition of
th«" cars on March Ist was bad. every
thing In bad order, the equipment was
now In much better condition, usual
wear and tear excepted.

The deponent denied that the salar

“I have not.”
"Was the service satisfactory or
not?”
"It has beon quite satisfactory?"
Mr. Veals, a citizens of Sandersville.
made affidavit to the effect that he had
hoard of no petition for the removal of
the mail ecrvlce from the Augusta
road.
Then followed a collective affidavit,
signed by some fifteen or twenty citi

Mr. . Umar objected, staling that he
did not know where the papers—refer- j
ring to th# way bills-oamc from.
Maj. Cumtning retorted that It waa
not where they cum from, but what j
they were.
The major continued by saying that |
the case wa* to be tried by th# con
tract and by nothing else.
All of the following affidavit# up to
the hour of adjeorntront were on mat
ter# connected with the account* of the |
Augusta Southern road.
It wa# claimed that the South Caro- |
Una and Georgia had hauled 9.000 lesg
passenger# than the Augusta Southern
and Maj. Gumming Introduced a pa
per of Carlton Htllyer, auditor of the
Georgia road, showing the decrease in
the earnings of that road.
Mr. Taylor, of Hornblowesr. Miller
& Taylor, offered in evidence liabilities
Incurred by the Augusta Southern
amounting to >71,378 —before the S.
C. &G. management took hold. The
affidavit of a Tennille citizen was In
troduced, a man formerly con nai
led with the Southern and now with
the S. C. & U.. showing that there had
been no falling eff in tbe number of
passenger carried and no material fal
ling off in freight receipts. He now
thought the financial condition of the
road was stronger than prior to the
lease.
From his cons.ant contact with the
traveling and shipping -public he knew
them to be well pleased.
Immediately prior to adjournment
Major Gumming read a letter from
President Parsons to the general man
ager cf the South Carolina and Georgia
read, telling him of the lease, instruc
ting him to take hold on March Ist,
1897, and stating that In his (Parson's)
opinion. Mr. Jackson had been on the
“ragged edge” for some time.
Th© total valuation of the Augusta
Southern road as per tax returns of;
Pres. Jns. U. Jackson, was put down
at >369,160.00.
This was also put in evidence.
There may be more affidavits offered
by tbo defense and then the case is
half over.
The argument is hound to be long,
strong and interesting.
Mr. Guy Bowen, after an absence of
two years tn Savannah, h:\? returned
