COMMITTEE
INJAVANNAH
Went Down There Yesterday
for the Purpose of In
soecting Pavements.
SAW EVERY KIND.
The Result is that Asphalt Won the
Day—lt is Used on Heaviest
Traffic Street.
A committee consisting of Messrs. Ben
L. Jones, H. T. Powell -and a representa
tive of The News went down to Savannah
on Saturday night on invitation of Mr,
iHenry Horne for the purpose of inspecting
the different paving in that city.
Mr. Horne himself accompanied the
party, but in Savannah he purposely left
the committee to make the Inspection in
th«ir own way. In fact at no time either
before, during or after the visit did Mr.
Horne make the slightest effort to influ
ence the views of the gentlemen on th«
subject of paving.
It was a most thorough inspection.
(Every pavement in Savannah, brick, as
phalt, rock, shell and even the old-time
cobble stones received the attention of the
committee.
The representative of The News accom
panied Messrs. Powell and Jones wherever
they went and a general idea of what was
gathered by the others is that asphalt has
deservedly won the day in Savannah.
It is an asphalt town. Asphalt has been
in use there for ten years. Notwithstand
ing the lack of proper surface drainage for
the water the oldest of this material has
worn well, and now after all this time the
highest tribute that the people and the
administration of the city could have paid
to asphalt is found in the fact that Dray
ton street on which there is more heavy
traffic in one day than on any street in
(Macon has been paved for its full length
of a mile with asphalt.
The people of Savannah say that no
street in the city has as much travel on
it as Drayton. Most of the heavy drayage
of the city pass over it and there are
mot in the whole length of the street tne
slightest evidence of wear or of likelihood
of wear.
City officials, merchants, business men
and hackmen and the dray line people are
pronounced in their praise of asphalt as
against any other material. They say that
it will stand the heaviest traffic and costs
less to repair than any other material.
It is easy on the stock, not. wearing on
‘Vehicles, not noisy and can be kept per
fectly clean.
Savannah has several brick streets.
Those were ail visited by the committee
and carefully inspected. On one street the
work closely resembled that done on
Cherry street, for this reason it received
special attention from the committee. The
brick which has been laid only about a
year gives evidence of wearing on the
edges and it is only too evident that with
time the gaps between the bricks will be
come wider and the street which Is not
anything like as quiet as asphalt will be
more noisy and difficult to keep clean. The
brick streets, however, were better than
the rock but it is fair to say that In no
sense is the rock pavement of Savannah
as well laid as that in Macon.
It is significant however, when the con
tract was let for Drayton street, the heavy
traffic street of Savannah, it was awarded
to asphalt after the people and officials of
the city had given the material a ten years
test.
The members of the committee were
surprised at the generally excellent con
dition of all the streets paved with as
phalt and gave as much attention to that
laid by the Warren-Scharff people as by
the Southern Asphalt Company represent
ed by iMr. Horne. The members of the
committee realized that while they were
the guests of Mr. Horne they were there
as the representatives of the people of
Macon who pay for the paving. Conse
quently they appreciated the delicacy that
prevented Mr. Horne from making the
slightest effort to influence the views of
the committee.
It is a fact that In Savannah some of
the asphalt streets show evidence of
cracks, but it was pointed out and will be
(recognized as a fact that these cracks were
the result of the pressure of the roots of
trees under the pavement and as it Is well
known that a tree root will work its way
through solid rock, the asphalt is at no
disadvantage on this account.
The fact that yesterday was Sunday
gave the committee an additional oppor
tunity to see the streets and make a thor
ough inspection.
Those who were invited to go to Savan
nah were Messrs. G. M. Davis. R. M.
Aogers, Claude Estes, E. B. Harris, Joe
Napier. I. Hardeman. Dupont Guerrv, I.
Block, R, A Nisbet. T. J. Carling, W. W.
'Williams, George H. Plant. H. T. Powell
and Ben L. Jones.
It may be said that the specifications for
Drayton street in Savannah are the same
for Macon’s asphalt.

WILL DANCE A GERMAN
On the Vitrified Brick Pavement When it
is Finished.
From the Athens Banner.
Following is the line of thought sug
gested recently by Mayor Price, of Macon,
there is a movement on foot to arrange for
a german to be danced on the vitrified
brick pavement on College avenue imme
diately after it is finished.
The idea takes well, and a number of
the young men of the city will make the
necessary arrangements for the german.
It will be one of the most unique social
events of the season. The pavement will
be perfectly smooth and a german can be
danced upon it with all ease and comfort.
OUTLOOK GOOD.
Farmers Say That They Are in Good Con
dition, as a Rule.
Notwithstanding the complaints about
the crops coming from Individuals it may
be said that the farmers in the city today
gave a most encouraging account of the
outlook, and it is believed that the condi
tions generally are about the same.
Speaking of cotton, one farmer said, that
never in all of his life had he seen finer
■'weed.” The stalks in all fields are splen
didly develap, and from what he could
see. in passing along the roads he believed
that the "fruit” was equally as good. He
was not prepared to say positively about
the bolls, being plentiful, however.
Another said that he had heard reports
from some sections of the county to the
effect that there was rotting and shedding
of leaves, but he himself had seen no evi
dences of it.
He believed that when the cotton had
been well worked that it was far better
at this time than it had been before at
the same season for many years.
torn, another said, was looking fine In
all parts of the county, and peas had
grown luxuriantly.
The fruit crop has been abundant, and
thousands of bushels of peaches have lit
erally rotted on the ground.
Speaking of fruit rotting on the ground,
is it not so that thousands of dollars
worth of products thus go to waste each
year in this section.
• But t'..at aside, if c-.nJitlons ront'nnc
favorable the farmer in this section will
I &ave the best of crops this year.
A BIG FIRE
THIS MORNING.
I
Ihe Home of Mr. J. A. Knox
Completely Destroyed.
This morning at 2:45 o’clock a fire alarm
from box 55 carried the fire department to
the residence of Mr. J. A. Knox on Elm
street The house was in flames when the
department arrived and it was some time
before the firemen could get the flames
under control.
The department had a long run and ar
rived too late to save the house as it was
a total loss. All the furniture was des
troyed.
Mr. Knox in speaking of the fire said
that it was his belief that his house was
set on fire. He said that when he went
to bed last night everything was all right
and he was awakened this morning by the
swell of smoke and when he got up he
said the house was in flames.
He said that the house was set on fire
about a month ago but he put it out him
self.
The house was insured for S6OO and the
furniture for SSOO.
JUDGES AND SOLICITORS
To Be Elected at the Next Meeting of the
Legislature.
It is probable that the next legislature
will be the last legislature to elect judges
and solicitors general, as the amendment
to the state constitution for the people to
elect judges and solicitors general will
probably be adopted at the regular election
in October next.
October next.
Judges and solicitors will be elected in
the following districts by the next legis
lature, and the following are candidates:
Augusta Circuit —The present incumbent,
Judge E. H. Calloway, will not offer for
re-election, but on January Ist will retire
from the bench he has so ably and popu
larly occupied for the past four years, and
will practice law in Augusta. The con
testants for the place are Hon. E. L.
Grinson, of Waynesboro, a member of the
present state senate, and Hon. W. T. Gary,
of Augusta, ex-United States district at
torney for the southern district of Geor
gia.
Brunswick Circuit—Judge Sweat, of
Waycross, who is regarded as one of the
ablest jurists in the state, declines re
election after a long service. Hon. Joseph
W. Bennett, of Brunswick, a member of
the present house of representatives, and
Hon. John McDonough, of Waycross, who
has just been re-elected chairman of the
Democratic exectuive committee of the
Eleventh congressional district, are oppos
ing candidates for the judgeship.
Middle Circuit —Judge Roger L. Gamble,
Jr., of Louisville, of whom it has been
said “he is one of the very 'best superior
court judges Georgia has ever known,” de
clines re-election. Hon. B. D. Evans, of
Sandersville, will be elected Judge Gam
ble’s successor without opposition. This
is a deserved compliment to one of the
leading lawyers and most popular men in
the circuit. Until recently Mr. Evans was
solicitor general of the circuit, but did not
offer for re-election at the last election be
fore the legislature.
A LIVELY TIME HERE.
Northeastern Circuit-Judge J. J. Kim
sey, of Cleveland, stands for re-election,
and is opposed by Hou. J. B. Estes, of
Gainesville, formerly judges of the circuit.
There is also a contest for solicitor general
of this circuit between Hon. F. M. John
son, of Gainesville, and Hon. W. A. Char
ters, of Dahlonega. Both represent their
respective counties in the present legisla
ture. The present incumbent, Hon. How
ard Thompson, of Gainesville, declines re
election. He has ably discharged the du
ties of the office for about twelve years.
Ocmulgee Circuit—Judge John C. Hart,
of Union Point, will be unopposed for re
election. He has won high reputation on
the bench. Solicitor General Hal G.
Lewis, of Greensboro, is favored in the
same way in his election.
Rome Circuit —Judge W. M. Henry, of
Rome, the incumbent, is opposed by Hon.
John M. Reese, of Rome, a member of the
present legislature.
Tallapoosa Circuit —The Incumbent,
Judge Charles G. James, of Charlton, is
opposed by Hon. A. L. Bartlett, of Pauld
ing, and Hon. Price Edwards, of Haralson,
both members of the present, legislature.
Western Circuit —Judge N. L. Hutchins,
of Lawrenceville, Is opposed for re-election
by Hou. Dick Russell, of Jackson, former
ly solicitor general of the circuit.
A NEW CIRCUIT.
Atlantic Circuit —This is a new circuit
and was created at the last session of the
legislature. It is composed of the coun
ties which were formerly in the Eastern
judicial circuit with Chatham county,
appealed to the legislature to separate it
from the counties of Bryan, Effingham,
Liberty and Mclntosh, and those counties
were desirous of being made a circuit and
unanimously assisted Chatham. The can
didates for the judgeship of the Atlantic
circuit are Mr. Paul E. Seabrook, of Ef
fingham, and Mr. George Cann, of Charl
ton. There are also two candidates for so
licitor general from this circuit.
The next legislature, therefore, will have
to elect eight judges and only two solici
tors general.
NEW YACHT WILL
SHOW FINE LINES.
t is Said New Cup Defender
Will Be Owned by Dur
yea-Whitnev Syndicate.
Bristol, R. 1.. August 22 —A well known
yachtsman thoroughly in touch with the
situation and the conditions which obtain
at the Herreshoff yards is authority for
the statement that but one boat will be
built here to defend the America’s cup,
and that this flyer will be owned by the
Whitney-Duryea syndicate, the rich young
gentleman who have gained fame racing
their Herreshoff built 30-footers at New
port several seasons past.
It is declared that an agreement has
been made with the Iselin-Morgan inter
ests where the crack Defender of three
years ago will be put into racing trim as
a trial horse for the Newport syndicate’s
vessel, and the defence of the cup will be
left to one of these two yachts so far as
the Herreshoffs are concerned, as they will
not build more than one defender this sea
son.
The Herreshoffs are confident of their
ability to turn out a vessel immeasurably
superior to their creation of three years
ago. They have already, as stated exclu
sively in these columns, turned out a
working model of the new defender which
met the heartiest approval of C. Oliver
Iselin on his visit to Bristol last week.
One who claims to have seen this model
and the plans for the new boat says the
lines of the new craft are much finer than
those of the Defender, which they much
resemble in gracefulness. They show a
keel hull with less of a forefoot and broad
er beam than Defender has. The vessel
will carry the limit of sail spread, and Is
expected to develop surprising speed in
light winds and be particularly strong in
reaching.

RAIN HURT THE PEACHES.
' it Made Them Spotted and Injured the
Market.
P< aches are coming in lively but they
are damaged. The recent rains have
caused them to spot and a day after they
are received here they are very often un
saleable.
The white English variety is large and
well formed and sells for $1 a basket, or
about $1.50 a bushel. The demand is good.
The variety is excellent for preserving and
pickling. Consumers were not able to get
hold of many last season and they might
take a great many more this season if
they could use them before they are spot
ted.
Other varieties are coming in and while
they are largely clingstone, some soft
peaches are being shipped and they are
selling rapidly. Advices from growers are
to the effect that not a great many more
will be shipped. Rain has damaged the
crop and it is being cut off fast.
Pears are fine and a great many are
being shipped now. The rain does not
appear to have damaged them a great deal
and the prices hold up well. Some apples
are coming in. They are fair and sell
well.
