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.

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.

In reference to the allegation regard ing the unsatisfactory handling of the. United States ma'l. Major Gumming next rend an affidavit of the postmaster at Snndersvllle. wherein It was stated that h» (the postroosnlerl had resided there for forty years and had been postmaster for thP past five years.

Then followed a collective affidavit, signed by some fifteen or twenty citi zens and buslnes men of Sandersville. stating that the mail service was “de cidedly better in every way now” than whe# operated by the Augusta South ern.

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.
