Now that the channel of the Ocmul-
gee river Insures navigation for all sea
sons of the year, provided Macon mer
chant! lee fit to take advantage of the
opportunity, attention la being directed
to the Altamaha, through the channel
of which boats must go to get from
Macon to Brunswick.
Capt. Gillette estimates that it will
take something over $100,000 to cut the
sand bars out of that stream, so as to
permit the passage of steamers In ex
tremely low water. So far as the Oc-
muigee I* concerned, navigation out of
Macon Is a go, and $56,000 of the $156,000
appropriation is yet available. Capt.
Gillette estimates that $10,000 a year
will maintain the channel.
The OcmuJgee can be used for trans
portation to points as far down as Lum
ber City or The Forks, and when the
water !* not unurally low, trips may
be made on down the Altamaha to Da
rien and then to Brunswick, but In or
der to insure a good channel at all
times of the year, sevcral sand bars
must be cut out of the Altamaha. It
Is claimed that business between Macon
and Lumber City would warrant the
operation of a line of steamers, but the
advantage to all points concerned
would be so much greater If the boats
i could be given regular schedule on
I through to Brunswick, there will be no
ccfuatlon of effort until the Altamaha
I is put In navigable condition. Capt. Gil
lette's forces are now widening the
channel across the shoals Just above
Hawklnsvllle's wAgon bridge. When
this task, which is simple nnd easy, is
completed, Haivklnsvllle will cease to
be the head of navigation on the Oc-
mulgec. Macon will wear that proud
distinction, although Hawklnsville will
continue to be a gem city.
Capt. Gillette has sent the following
letter to President George A. Smith,
whose hobby for years has been the ro-
ceselty for a line of steamers out of
Macon:
"SAVANNAH. Ga., Dec. 6. #<>1.
"Mr. George A. Smith, Macon, Ga.—
"Sir: Replying to your letter of De
cember 3. $100,000 has been drawn from
the $156,000 appropriated March 3, 1R93,
leaving $56,000 of that appropriation yet
to be made available. This Is for, Im
provement. The next river nnd harbor
Mil may also contain an amount for
maintenance.
"It 4s expected that the above
amount, when appropriated, will h<
sufficient to create a navigable chan
nel, three feet deep nt mean summer
low water, from Macon to The Forks.
The full value of this Improvement,
however, will not be manifested until
a channel of equal depth Is provided
from The Forks to Brunswick. Tho’'®
facts have been stated In my snpual
reports, with which my duty In; the
matter ends. The matter of securing
appropriation* concerns the navigation
Interests nnd presumably can be best
secured through their local congress
men. Very resnertfiilly.

The municipal election will be held
today. The polls will open at 8 o'clock
a. m., and close at 5 p. m.
At 7:30 o’clock this morning all of
the managers of the pre’cincte will meet
with Recorder Freeman at the city
hall and take the oath for a faithful
and honest performance of their duty.
The polls will be opened* at Davis’
stable in the first ward.
Second ward, at Findlay's Foundry,
and not at the drug store where the
primary was held.
Third ward, city hall. •
Fourth ward, the store on Cotton ave
nue, the polling place used for the pri
mary.
The election is simply to ratify what
was done at the November primary,
except in the case of the alderman
from the third ward. The nominee,m
that ward, Mr. Basil A. WJae, having
died since the primary, Mr. S. A. Reid
and Mr. Morris Happ, are opposing
each other for the vacancy.
Tlie only other candidates are, Mr.
Bridge* Smith, for mayor: Mr. Rob
Mawenburg, for alderman from
first ward: Mr. W. H. Burdick In the
second ward; and Messrs. R. L. WIUIs
and M. J. Redmond in the fourth,there
being two places to be filled there.
AU who were qualified to vote in the
primary are qualified to vote In the
election today. The result of the elec
tion will probably be announced li
council meeting tonight. If the count
Ing of the ballots is finished in time,
there la but little doubt about this,
but If the count ie not finished the re-
suit will not be officially announced
to council until the following Tues
day night. If the result is. made known
officially tonight in time for the* meet
ing, a council meeting will be held to
morrow night to install the new men.
The appointments to positions under
tho new government will probably bo
cent in at the following regular coun
ell meeting.

John Allison will uppear In "The
Wrong Mr. Wright" as "Singleton
Sices" (a character made famous by the
late Roland Reed). Take this play; ft
has an idea, and for farce an unusually
fresh one. "Sites." a S.m Francisco
millionaire, goes to Old Point Comfort,
where he bears that "Halley.” an em
ploye who has forged hfa name for $50,-
C00 and has absconded with the pro
ceeds, Is likely to be found. Of course.
It l» necessary for "Sites" to proceed
under an assumed name. At a venture
he takes the name of "Wright," not
knowing that "Wright” la the very
name the culprit has taken himself.
Miss Henrietta Oliver." a lady deteet-
re, knows It. and Is on the lookout for
"Wright” when "Sites" turns up. She
lakes certain of "Sites” being the man
he wants, nnd since the evidence
gainst the cashier is weak, sets herself
o draw a confession of the crime from
Sites." "Sites" does not know what
he Is after and concludes that she is
smitten with him, as at last she turns
ut to be. Under this Impression, which
he of course fosters, he grows quite
enlal. and the close-fisted curmudgeon

"I was troubled for several.years with
chronic Indigestion and nervous debil
ity." writes F. J. Green of Lancaster.

began using Electric Bitter#, which did
me more good than all the medicines
I ever used. They have also kept my
wife in excellent health for yearn. She
says Electric Bitters are just splendid
for female troubles: that they are a
grand tonic and Invlgorator for weak,

can take Its place In our family." Try
