The Brand jury of the Superior Court
■p . not discharged for the term yester
<3 y hut made Its general presentments
r. vcrtheless, which, In accordance with
tli court's order, are published In the
Morning News to-day.
, most interesting feature of the re
pot. no doubt, is the report of the spe
dil committee appointed to investigate
certain charges made by Mr. William Ke
li, with regard to the management of
, inly affairs by the County Commission
er'. Mr. Kehoe furnished a written state
ly, nt of the complaints he had to make,
which was taken up in sections by the
epochal committee.
Taking up the first section, the commlt
t, after considerable figuring as to the
v .lit of the pavement with Augusta grav
on Estill avenue, the Waters road,
Montgomery Cross road and others, and
as to the depth of it on these roads, finds
that there are seventy-seven cars of the
gravel unaccounted for. The committee
also reports that all the gravel used prior
to the construction of Dale avenue was
purchased without any advertising for
bids, but that it was bought at as low a
price as it was sold to any one else.
The grand jury committee expresses It
s. If as satisfied with the method adopted
tor measuring and testing the gravel by
the County Commissioners. The commit
tee found no evidence of the charge that
the county superintendent of public works
had been the agent of the company selling
Augusta gravel. The charge as to the for
age unaccounted for was passed with the
statement that the discrepancy was due
to a clerical error.
The committee found that Supt. Chap
lin "did use the services of a county con.
Viet, Neptune Golden, for his private work
without authority and during the term of
said convict’s sentence.”
The charges of immorality at the con
vict camps do not appear to have panned
out much. The committee could find no
culpability in connection with any of the
several instances cited.
-Mr. Kehoe characterized the “Buekhal
ter deal” as "a grand scheme for the im
provement and reclamation of a large sec
tion of land belonging to the chairman.”
The committee was not able to throw any
light on this question, and said it seemed
to lie a matter entirely of engineering
opinion and future results will have to
dt monstrate whether it is wise or not. The
committee took no exception to the ren
tal of mutes and wagons to the county by
Mr. Chaplin while he was a County Com
missioner. Several other charges along
the same line, the committee viewed in
practically the same light, as will be seen
from its report.
More exception appears to have been
'aken to what Mr. Kehoe called the “shav
ing shop” in the superintendent’s office
than to any of the other features. With
regard to this feature, the committee says:
"It has been shown that Mr. J. W. Me.
Inlyre makes loans of money to court
house employes, for repayment on pay
day, charging about 10 per cent, for flf
in or twenty days; Mr. Reuben Butler
also admits making loans to county em
ployes, receiving compensation therefor,
and we recommend that this practice be
strictly prohibited.”
There was no evidence to show that the
Ficarn roller could have been bought for
less than the county paid for It. With
r. card to disbursements of the poor fund
it is recommended that Clerk Mclntyre be
required to keep a pay roll, to be signed
by ail those who receive alms from the
county. It is also found that Supt. Chap
lin violated a resolution of the board by
ordering gravel himself, instead of doing
ii through the clerk. The committee also
recommends a change in the system of
bookkeeping better adapted to the increas
ed business of the county.
The report of this special committee is
Figncd by Messrs. George W. Tiedeman,
Chairman; W. S. King, Charles H. Dorsett,
John H. Hunter and F. G. Bell.
Ihe committee on roads, bridges and
drainage, as will be seen, takes up each
>"i. bridge and drain in the county and
states the condition in which each was
i "tt.d. The committee found that repairs
ore needed on almost every road, and
many of the drains in the county. The
sanitary condition of many of the drains,
a is stated, also needs attention, and with
ine large force at its command, it is con-
MMe.l the commissioners should be able
to jook after this work.
T he special committee appointed to re
-lon tm the request of a number of prom
;'!V nl citizens for a road on White Marsh
-nuid, made a favorable report on the
j." lltK 'n. It was found that there were
"'v difficulties in the way of construct
ing the road, and It was believed existing
coiidnionsj justified its being built.
Ihe committee on convict camps Is of
Ji °r>inion that the sleeping quarters of
*ae convicts should be kept more neat and
‘ •’an, but generally everything was found
ln good condition.
County offices and records were all found
*n good condition and well kept.
' n< 'cr the head of county treasurer the
grand jury states that lists of bills passed
ar payment should be in the possession
oi the treasurer before warrants are
1 rawn upon him from the County Com
mas. oners’ office.
lh<> grand jury objects to the practice
of ilia clerk of the County Commissioners
drawing orders on the treasurer for the
sauries of county employes before the
“■ " ure passed for payment. The report
" e also find that the messengers’ sal
niioi? ar,- not usually paid before about the
la of the month, and at times when they
| 'd money they are in the habit of hnv-
| h ' it advanced to them for which ad
■ .inee an amount Is deducted in the form
interest. We do not think this eredita
j'■ in a public office, and consider that if
'' mt is brought to the attention of the
nntv Commissioners, they would so ar
r in. their meetings as to be able to pass
a I Nils, salaries and otherwise, so that
’ 11 T could be paid by the sth of the
month.”

For centuries this relentless disease was
considered incurable. It is now known to
be distinctly curable. Dr. Pierce’s Golden

It has stood the test for thirty years. It

It tears down old, half-dead tissues and

Through the blood it acts directly on the

breathing, supplying the system with, life

facilitates the flow of digestive juices, in

and flesh-builder. It does not make flabby

healthy tissues.
“ I had been troubled with bronchitis for

different doctors and took various medicines,

while it is yet in the fields, with the crop
of the preceding year, Mr. Hinton says, is
a difficult thing to make. There Is noth
ing but tradition to figure upon, and the
farmers cannot remember with any degree
of certainty just in what condition their
crops may have been at any particular time
last year. Widely varying estimates of the
difference that may exist are given, and it
requires considerable trouble to reach a
conclusions by striking a sort of an aver
age.
When it cornels, however, to estimating
the falling off of the prospects for a crop
from one mage of Us growth to another,
the matter is simplified, says Mr. Hinton.
On Aug. 1 the prospects seemed to be for
a large crop. Had the very best condi
tions of weather followed and had the
bo~ worms kept off, about all the bolls
on the heavily fruited stalks would have
developed. By counting the bolls on a
9talk on Aug. 1 and counting them again
on Sept. 18, observing carefully how many
had fallen off, how many had rotted, how
many had had development prevented by
rust and how many the boll worms had
punctured, the loss in percentage ln the
prospects for the crop could be ascer
tained.
Figuring the falling off in the outlook
for the cotton crop by the examination of
the stalks at this lime and comparing
with what they showed on Aug. 1, Mr.
Hinton says he finds the crop to be off
30 per cent, from what it seemed It would
be. He says Some of the farmers place
the difference between last year’s crop and
this at as high a figure as 30 per cent. In
his estimate he Is far more generous to
(he crop for this year, which he believes
will not bo more than 12 or 15 per cent,
behind that of last year. If the best con
ditions for maturing cotton prevail from
this on, Mr. Hinton believes the difference
between the crops,will be even less than
the percentage named.
Since he has been with the Central Mr.
Hinton has been a close student of cot
ton. He has reduced the entire situation
and Its handling to a railroad science, and
if to any one man, It was largely due to
him that the receipts at this port last
year were so large. He is now just as
hard at work figuring on the coming sea
son’s movement and looking out to see
that Savannah gets her full share of the
staple as he was last. With a greater fa
miliarity with the situation, he may this
year be able to make up for the differ
ence in production by getting in more
bales and thus keep the Central’s receipts
up to what they were last year.

sions, and still leaves enough work of im
portance to require considerable of their
time.
"Without the commissions to assist the
aldermen I do not like to think of the la
bor that would be thrown on Council.
But all of their work should be entirely
subject to Council. They should be given
as free a hand as possible, but with the
right in Council to oversee all that they
do and to check or control them at any
and all times without recourse to courts
or the legislature.
“Whatever is done, though, there sjiould
certainly be no change during this ad
ministration. It would be the height of
folly to disarrange the city’s business af
fairs by throwing out the commissions
about a month before our terms of office
expire. There would bo no sense in it, and
I am decidedly of the opinion that any
change® that are made should go Into ef
fect with the incoming administration. If
the commissions are abolished as at pres
ent constituted the date of the expiration
of ’their terms of office should be made
after the new board comes in. Such a
board would be fresh from the people and
could grapple with the situation as It
thought best. Byt I believe it would find
it advisable to reconstitute the commis
sions by ordinance and assist itself in that
way to better attend to the city's butfl
ness.”
Alderman Well takes a somewhat differ
ent view of the matter from the <sther
members of the board. He agrees with
them that the commissions should be
brought under the control of Council more
than they are now, and to that end be
lieves in the amendment of the acts of
the legislature. But he favors the com
missions sufficiently to believe that it
would be best for them and for the city’s
interests to allow them to remain as bod
ies constituted under state law and for
long terms of office, as now. This would
prevent the use of the commissions in
politics to a great extent. If they are con
stituted by ordinance any Council coming
into power could wipe them out and re
turn to the old system. An uncertainty
would thus be thrown around the commis
sions that would be prejudicial to them
and to the city’s best interests.
“Bring the commissions under control of
Council,” said Mr. Weil. “Make them
liable to be removed by Council for cause,
put their work under the direction of
Council to whatever extent it may be
deemed proper, and then aim to keep them
as far out of politics as possible by long
tenure of office and the retention of good
men on them indefinitely, so that the city
will have the benefit of their experience.”

MAKING BIG IMPROVEMENTS.
IMPORTANT WORK AT THE PLANT
SYSTEM WHARVES.
I.aige Area Is Rein* Raised to the
Level of the Wharves Between
200,000 nnd S'Kt.OiUI Cubic Yard* of
Dirt Will Be Used —lt Is. Being
Taken From Brewton Hill Big
Cotton Shed* Going Up—lmprove
ment of the'Eutire Property Con
templated.
Extensive improvements are under way
at the Savannah. Florida and Western
wharves. A large area Is being filled ln,
and considerable building is in progress.
When all that is mapped out has been
completed, the Plant System will enjoy
greatly increased facilities for the hand
ling of cotton, lumber and naval Btores.
Storage room will be greatly enlarged, and
more yard space wifi be had.
Mr. T. S. Tutwiler, chief engineer of the
Plant System, has the work under direc
tion, and is giving it close attention. He
expects that more than a year will l>e re
quired for the completion of the work.
The dirt that is being used for filling in
the wharf property Is taken from Brew
ton hill, which Is about a mile distant. A
spur track runs to the hill, the edge of
which Is being cut away by a steam
shovel. It Is thought enough of the soil
can be taken from the part of the hHI
owned by the system to complete the
work of filling in.
From Bilbo canal eastward for about a
mile, the filling will be made. It is the
plan to raise the entire wharf property to
the level of the wharves themselves. To
do this, the ground will have to be filled
from one to four feet. Between 200,000 and
300,000 cubic yards of dirt will be re
quired. There is a great deal of other
work incident to the filling. Draining has
to be effected, and this Is being arranged
for by a sub-system of terracotta pipe.
This will keep the rosin yards perfectly
dry.
The wharf property of the Plant System
was originally rice fields, and it has been
necessary to build the land up from time
to time. The work now under way is a
continuation of the filling, as it has al
ways stopped In the past before the level
desired was reached. A branch that ran
trom Jone-’ canal to the river has been
filled and turned, and an expensive drain
now conducts the flow of water under the
large spirits shed.
Two large cotton sheds are being erect
ed at the northwest corner of the wharf
property. A third shed may be built, and
the dimensions of each will be 100 by 400
feet. Where these sheds are going up there
has been only platforms, ho shelter having
been had for the cotton. The ground upon
which they are being built lias already
been filled in to the general level, the plat
forms having been removed for this pur
pose. A building leased from the system
by the Savannah Guano Company occu
pied a part of the site of the sheds, but
the guano company has moved to another
site to the southward.
There are about 175 men engaged in the
work of improving the property. Of this
number 100 are at work on the sheds for
the cotton. After all the improvements
now under way are completed, it is likely
the system will continue Its work and im
prove the rest of its property, of which
there Is more than two miles on the river
front.
In addition to the raising of the level
of the property, the water at the wharves
has been deepened along the entire length.
Twenty-one feet at low water can now be
found at any point along the wharves.
Although it has not been definitely decided
upon, the system is considering bringing
a monster dredge It owns up from Port
Tampa to do further work about the
wharves. Similar work to that In progress
here is being done at Brunswick, however,
and it is the present plan to have the
dredge stop there. If It is brought on to
Savannah it will be used for the construc
tion of two large canals, It is said, at the
eastern end of the property.
The building up of the eastern bank of
Bilbo canal, which Is that bordering the
system’s property, is a part of the work
now in progress. In many places this bank
has given way, and a bulkhead will be run
along the east side for as great a distance
as the canal forms the line of the prop
erty.
A great deal of work Is being done at
various points on the Plant system. The
engineering department is kept busy with
the direction of the improvement, and Mr.
Tutwiler is on the read a good deal:in or
der to give the work his personal atten
tion.
Col. Candler Expected to Accept.
Mr. W. P. Bailey, president of the Chat
ham County Candler Club, has cent copies
of the recent resolutions to State Chair
man dußignon, inviting Col. Candler to
speak here and become the guest of the
club. It is expected something will be
heard from the letter in a few days, and
definite information given as to whether
the Invitation will be accepted. There are
many anxious to hear Col. Candler, some
of whom will have seen him the first lime.

PLANS BEING HIDE,
Work on the House Rrninnge Sys
tem to Begin Nov. t.
There will probably be nothing further
done in connection with the house drain
age contract to he awarded Miles & Bradt
of Atlanta until that firm has completed
its maps of the work it is proposed to do
annually'. It will be remembered the exten
sion of the time to complete the work,
mainly for the purpose of enabling the city
to pay cash in place of note's, necessitated
a change in the plans so far aB the con
tractors are concerned.
No conference having been held as to
just what portions of the work are to be
first completed, the necessary division of
it will be largely with the firm, but the
city will require that the outlets be com
pleted with the fifst work. This will be
necessary for the reason the city proposes
to put the system In use as fast as it can
be gotten in shape to make the con
nections. With this id view it will of course
be necessary to make an outlet for the sec
tion it Is proposed to complete first. It is
in building these outlets that the con
tractors may find tedious work, and par
ticularly is this the case with the one
through Rourke’s foundry lot, where is a
deep excavation to make. The sandy,
yielding nature of the soil makes it im
possible to excavate without securely brac
ing the ditches as they are dug.
Unless something unforseen arises, all
preliminaries will have been Arranged, and
a large gang of laborers net to work by
Nov. 1, the first duy the ordinance allows
the streets to be upturned. These laborers
will be employed right here, as the con
tractors see no occasion for going else
where and getting men. who would carry
away what they earned. Savannah has
everything the laborer requires, and it is
considered nothing more than equitable
that the money paid out by property own
ers shoufd go to home labor, and by
them distributed In the channels of trade.
When in the city some weeks ago Mr.
Bradt spoke pointedly on this question
of home labor. He will favor having Sa
vannah do all the work possible, though
there will of course be some things in con
nection with the work which will have to
be done by outside people. Asa whole,
however, Savannah is sure to get the full
benefit of nearly all the money paid out.
Acting Mayor Owens has been looking
up features of the contract, some of
which relate to the time when the city
will be authorized to take charge. The
paragraph ln the contract bearing espe
cially on this point says "the contractor
hereby further agrees that upon the com
pletion of any sewer, and after it shall
have been tested as required In the spec
ifications, the city shall have the right
and is hereby authorized to permit the
connection of houses, and the house con
nections, plumbing and plumbing features
thereof, with said sewer, and to permit
the discharge of household wastes and
other liquids into the sewer, and to use,
and allow to be used, said sewer and ap
purtenances for all the proper and in
tended purposes for which It Is designed.”
Nothing further has been done In regard
to the appointment of inspectors, but It
has apparently been thoroughly demon
strated that some Improvement is needed
over the last superintendence. Numerous
holes were found in different parts of the
city during the wet weather, and at one
point on Zubly street the sewer had broke
somewhere, and water was oozing Into
the street from the manhole. Those who
observed It were impressed with the need
of some improved system of superinten
dence, as it does not speak well for the
workmanship. If the sewers are to begin
crumbling before they are used.
