4 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. FINANCE COMMITTEE Os the Carnival Association Meet This Afternoon. The finance committee of the Carnival , Association will hold a meeting this after noon in the office of Talbott & Palmer on Fotirth street. important business will be transacted and a full attendance of the members is urged. Mr. Talbott said this morning that as the rates had been given by the railroads the committee would begin work at once.

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.

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.

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.

' 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. HALF CENT fl WORD Miscellaneous.
