Alderman Proudflt’s bill, giving to dwell
er. upon Second itreet a certain amount
of ground for park., was a movement in
the right direction. It Is to be regretted
that no one ha. as yet availed himself of
the privilege. The land is given in perpe
tuity though it cannot be built upon, nor
can it be joined to the lots from which the
sidewalks cut it off. Still it can be made
very ornamental and attractive. It will
cast only about $1 to fence in the space
granted in front of each lot. The vehicle
Two years ago, Captain John F. Fort travel Is thereby confined to the middle of
mulcted hi. artesian well at Hickory tho street, and the dust is not so annoy-
leiel near Di cker’s station, in Dough- ing. 6econd street people ought now to
agree upon a plan for a fence, enclose the
space granted by the city, set out another
row of oaks and turn the inclosure into
lawns and flower gardens. It would beau
tify the street, and make property more
valuable by making it more desirable.
And this system ought to lie pursued all
over the city. Our streets are not too
wide. The space allows of a generous cir
culation and precludes the possibility of
nythlng like a general conflagration. But
our roadways are two wide. If the council
will give the people all over the city per
mission to convert fifteen or twenty feet
next the sidewalks on both sides the street
into parkg or lawns, or flower gardens,
Macon's unsightliness will disappear, and
the great problem of good roads
be partly solved. For it must

was present upon the day following the
first flow of water, and gave to the public,
through the TanEOBArn, a descript.on or
methods pursued in carrying on the work.
I remember, after the beauties of the lim
pid waters had been fully discussed, we
made nn examination of tho old well. The
water drawn out was rotten limestone wa-
tor. and had the appearance of being mixed
with milk. A quart of milk emptied into
.bucket of clear water would give a mix
ture verv similar to it.
“This water, and the presence of that
pond out yonder,” said Captain Fort, “have
together given this place a death-rate as
high as thirty per cent in one year. I have
dispensed with this water by means of an
artesian well. I believe I can dispose of
the pond in the same way.” We walked
over to the pond, a muddy accumulation
ot water in a lime sink covering about
two acres and a half and having a
depth of ten feet in the centre. "While
boring the artesian well up yonder,” said
the propricter, "I noticed that at eighty!
five feet from the surface, the stream of
water we were driving in through the drill
pipe suddenly disappeared. It was evi
dent we had struck a hollow in the
earth. It occurred to me that
a hole might be bored down through the
• centre of thla'pond aud the bottom knocked
out, thus affording a drainage.”
“Recently,” said Capt. Fort, meeting me
on the street, “I have demonstrated that
the theory advanced was practical,
began boring in the centre of my pond,
having first constructed a crib and plat
form for my apparatus. The level of
the pond was thirty-live feet below the
mouth of the well and the pond was
ten feet deep. To strike the cave or bot
tom mentioned would require forty feet of
boring. 1 began the work under great
difficulties and met with greater. I struck
solid rock and from one cause or another
the work has been delayed for
many months. Finally, however, I got
everything together and began again
Whilo my men were at work the drill sud
denly dropped through and a sharp rush
of air from below caused the water about
the crib to boil and bubble. The darkies
immediately threw themseves into a boat
and pulled for the shore, badly frightened.
When quiet was restored we went out and
unjulnted the pipe at the bottom of the
pond and the waters began to flow out
steadily. When I left home it was only-
eight inches deep where it had been ten
feet, and was stUl flowing ouL I have
wire screen over the entrance and rocks
piled over that to keep mud and trash
away. A thorough drain has been estab
lished.”

be apparent that the withdrawing
of forty feet space from each street will
greatly diminish the labor and expense of
keeping up the streets. Of course this
plan will not answer in the business por
tions of the city. But in snch portions the
city itself ought to park the middle of the
streets.
I am informed by Capt. J. M. Johnson
that arrangements are being perfected
whereby Americus is to have a railroad
out to Gum Creek, a fine business point
about twenty miles distant and in Dooly
county. It is thought that this road can
be placed in readiness for the rail for about
$2,500 per mile, and that no difficulty will
attend the efforts to raise the necessary
money. It is the intention of the Central
road to furnish the rail and equipments.
This road, when completed, will give
Amcricns a large slice of new business and
will develop a ricli section of Dooly. Sup
pose this road were made the beginning of
a system extending directly east?

DISASTROUS FIRE.
£ "How far dill you miss your calculation
u to tho whereabouts ot tho opening be
low?"
“Use than twelve Inches.”
“You consider that a way hoi been
tound lor draining all the lime ponds ot
Southwest Georgia?”
“1 da But there is one danger, though
I do not know as It would affect anything
beyond repair, and that U it is possible
that in boring to drain tbeso ponds, wells
may be created in the middle of some that
will feed Instead ot draining them. Now
I joined on a pipe to tho ono in my pond
and having tho upper end above water,
ran a line down inside to see if I could
touch bottom. To my surprlso I found
water at a depth ot thirteen and n holt feet
below the level ot my pond, or three feet
below the bottom. It was evident, there
fore, that In boring I had struck an under
ground stream, and the water had risen
to within three and a half feet of
thebottomof myi-ond. Snppoae the pres
sure had been greater from below? I
would have had nn eternal spring In tbe
pond, and might have had finally to cut a
drain to carry off the overflow."
"What la yonr theory as to tho final des
tination of these streams underground?"
“1 think they conic up in the rivers or
creeks. I remember one that rises In the
Flint river, and there Is ono In the ocean
ofT the coast of Florida."
This theory, I think, is a very natural
cat. Florida la noted for its wonderful
springs, which undoubtedly rise from
the pressure ot water from a high
er country. Green Cove Spring
and Stiver Spring nre prominent In this
connection. Nor is this all. Ills now the
accepted theory that tho lakes ot that won
derful region are fed from springs, Very
rtrely is tlicre a small lake formed with an
outlet, although many have inlets. They
remain clear and ot about the same depth
all the year round, despite the Immense
evaporation of the summer. I a it net pos
sible that the level of these lakes represent
the level of a distant body of water just
*» the presence of the water In the pips

of the lime-sink must have done? That
Rhea there is a great accession of water to
