Death, of Mr. James Kirkpatrick.
Mr. James Kirkpatrick, oae of the
oldest citizens of Columbia county,
died at his residence near Berzelia
Tuesday night, at an advanced ag€s, be
ing over seventy years old. Mr.
Kirkpatrick was a brother of the late
John and Daniel Kirkpatrick, and well
known in this city.
The remains will arrive on the Ber
zelia train at 9:55 this morning, and the
funeral will take place at 10 o’clock

Court of Ordinary.
The Court of Ordinary—Judge Samuel
Levy presiding—convened at 10 o’clock
yesterday morning pursuant to ad
journment. The following business was
transacted:
Letters of guardianship were granted
to John B. Dougherty on the property
of Isaac B. Mackey minor, and also on
the property of Jane W. M. Cunning
ham, minor.
The will of Nelson Carter deceased
was admitted to record, and letters tes
tamentary granted to William A. Wal
ton and John B. Carter.
Court adjourned to Monday.
The River.
As expected, the river rose rapidly
during Tuesday night. At 5 o’clock p.
m., of that day it was 12 feet 4 inches,
but the heavy rains up the country
previously has caused another rise,and
by 8 o’clock yesterday morning the
water had reached 22 feet 8 inches. It
continued to rise during the day, and
at 12 m. it was 24 feet 10 inohes, and
at 5 p. m. 27 feet, with indications of a
further rise.
The water, late in the afternoon, had
backed up on the upper part of Rey
nolds street,, where there is a very low
place which is overflowed every time
that we have a very full river. This is
the lowest part of the city and almost
a barren spot, there being no resi
dences in that locality. There are no
apprehensions that the water will
make any encroachments on the
streets in the upper part of the city
which is lower than the main portion.
The canals are very full and some of
the streets at the second level are
touched by the water, but not flooded,
though the high water has caused fac
tories on that level to stop work for a
short while.
At 9 o’clock last night the river was
27 feet 10 it ches, and slowly rising al
the rate of three to four inches per
hour.

The Atlanta Constitution says a de
served compliment to the wife of Gen.
Gordon was paid at the Catholic
Church on Sunday. In his sermon to
married men; Rev. Father Smoulders
was impressing the duty of husbands
and wives remaining always together,
never being apart for any length of
time. The wife’s place at all times,
whether in business or pleasure, at
home or abroad, was by the side of her
husband. St. Elizabeth, Queen of
Hungary, when her husband went to
fight in the Holy Land, accompa
nied him through every peril.
“ Another instance of this kind,”
said the reverend speaker, “ occur

under my own observation. In the
cold and snow of a Virginia Winter,
surrounded by the harrassments and
discomforts of a state of war, a noble
Georgia lady remained at her hus
band’s side, cheering him with her
counsels and supporting him in his ad
versities. That lady was the wife of
Gen. Gordon, a true and noble woman,
who undersiands her wifely duties, and
deserves the esteem of every one. Her
example should be imitated by every
wife in the State, and husbands would
be the better for it.”

Fire Matters.
We have received the following com
munication from a former resident of
Savannah, now living in Kansas City,
Mo., which is of some local interest, in
view of the proposed change in our fire
system:
Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 24,1875.
j Editor Morning News :
I have observed in your daily paper
that the question of changing your
“ Fire Department ” from volunteer to
the paid system is agitated.
I will state some facts which have
come under my observation. Braving
been located here the last seven
months, I have witnessed the workings
of a paid fire department, and several
times interviewed the Chief Engineer
and those attached to one of the en
gines.
The success of this Fire Department
is in my opinion attributable to the
efficiency of the Chief Engineer and
strict discipline which is equal to that
of the best drilled artillery—it is
“science in peace like science in war.”
Their promptness prevents the fires
from getting ahead of them. They
have patent halters, a large gong at
one stroke of which the horses fall
back in their stalls and draw upon their
halters, which are made to disconnect
and immediately wheel into line in their
proper places—the men being ready—
they are hitched too and out oa the
street in an average of thirty ■ seconds
after the alarm.
This city covers more space than
Savannah and has been protected with
three engines and thirty men, includ
ing the Chief Engineer, which the re
port enclosed will show.
The efficiency of the Fire Depart
ment is, or ought to be, considered. I
am satisfied this city is fortunate in its
present state of defense against fire.
Well, as to the cost:
CONSTANTLY ON DUTY.
1 Chie£ Engineer receives $125 per
month $ 125
3 Engineers receive, sllO each per
month 330
17 Men receive, 75 each per month— 1,275
ON DUTY AT CALL OF CHIEF ENGINEER.
9 Runners receive, 25 each per month 225
30 Men, who receive, each per
month
Making a total of $1,955
S. D. D.
P. S.—The Chief is Fire Marshal
also, and is not included in pay roll;
his pay is charged to some other ao
couut, but 1 put it iu so as to show the
full expense.
Accompanying this communication
is a printed copy of the Chief’s report
for nine months, from which we ex
tract the following:
FORCE OF THE DEPARTMENT.
The force of the Department con
sists of eighteen (18) full paid mem
bers, and nine (9) running members for
steam engine companies, and two (2)
full paid members for hook and ladder
company, making a total of thirty (30)
men, including the Chief Engineer.
STATEMENT OF APPARATUS.
There is in service, at the present
time, three (3) steam fire engines, and
four (4) hose reels in poor condition,
and one (1) hook and ladder truck, in
bad order. We have in use in the De
partment five thousand (5,000) feet of
good hose, and three thousand four
hundred (3,400) feet of condemned hose.
HORSES.
There are ten (10) active horses in
the Department, and one (1) extra
horse, all in good condition, and in
charge of competent and qualified
drivers.
FIRES AND ALARMS.
The Department has been oailed
upon during the said nine months, as
per report following :
Fires 40
Alarms (false) 11
Burning of chimneys 10
Total 61
LOSSES AND INSURANCE.
The total loss by fire during the said
nine months amount to $10,346, and
the insurance oa property destroyed to
$39,300.
EXPENDITURES.
The running expenses of the De
partment, for the past nine months,
amount to $22,307.32, including all re
pairs and employes’ salaries. It will
be seen that the last month of the pre
vious administration is larr ely in ex
cess of any of the following months.”
The expenses of this Department ap
pear to us rather excessive, but ac
cording to the Chief’s report, this is
attributable to the fact that the appa- ’
rat us is not in good order, and c*t#
stant repairs necessary. There
is no doubt that the plan is a good one,
and the expense of it could be decreas
ed by scaling the compensation and re
ducing the number of men to twenty
five. If the City Council are deter
mined upon inaugurating a different
system, the adoption of a plan similar
to that of the Kansas City Department
would, it strikes us, be infinitely more
preferable than the impracticable pro
ject which has been submitted by the
Bpecial Committee of Council, and
which, if carried out, will in all proba
bility destroy the efficiency and esprit
du corps of our admirable police force.
The force is small enough now, and
the pay is not more than a bare living,
especially for those who are married.
The duties of the police are onerous,
and it does not appear the part of
wisdom, to say the least, to tax them
too heavily.

THE EVIDENCE presented In the statements of the respectable and Intelligent plant
will satisfy South ern men that this CO:?CENCRA
.I.E.D CHEMICAL FER ITLIZbR may. claim to be equal, if not superior to any In the
market; that being composed of a base of raw-bone, decomposed with Sulphuric Acid
and a combination of chemicals, it is devoid of the enormous amount of inert matter
which all Phosphate Rock preparations must contain; and that it presents the best
guarantee of a large profitable return, as testified to by all who have used it. We refer
to our Pamphlets for this evidence, as it is too voluminous for our advertisement The
preparation Is varied in composition to meet the condition of the two great classes of
our soils: 1.
Our C. FERTILIZER adapted to Clay Soils.
