Now that the olty ha. everything In
readiness to begin work on the water
works system, It Is being urged by
some that It will be dangeroua to the
health of the city to have the water
mains laid at thli seaaon—that the
digging up of the earth in the street*
will create siokneis.
While It la a conceded faot that the
health of any community Is endan
gered by turning up large areas of
esrtb, especially If the excavation
made be deep enough, to expose the
damp earth underlying the aurfaoe
strata, there appears to be no oause
for alarm about what the Mayor and
Council propose to do In laying the
mains for our waterworks. The lay
ing of the mains will not necessitate
going deeper than about three feet at
any point In theelty, and the narrow
ditch or trenoli that will be openfed In
tho streets for this purpose will expose
very little fresh or moist earth at any
time or In any locality. The work of
filling in will be kept up with the lay
ing of the mains, and the exposure of
any considerable quantity of fresh
earth at any time will thus be avoided.
To lay the aewers will necessitate
deeper exoavatlons, and for tills reason
It ha* been determined that this work
will bo delayed until after frost.
Mayor Gilbert has been looking Into
this subject with a good deal of solid
tude, and lias nonsuited with the phy
stolons of the olty. After being ad
vised of the plan to be adopted In lay
ing the mains, the physicians of the
city have all expressed the opinion
that the health of the community will
not be endangered by It.
The Mayor and Counoll are as Jenl
ous of the good health of the olty as
anybody, and would nut, of course, do
anything whioh they thought would
bring on an epldemio or create sick
ness of any kind In the community.

J. Sloat Faaaett, In nominating Mr.

AN IHUKNIOUS INVENTION.
An ingenious German hay reduced
so trilling a matter as boiling an egg
to an absolute science and has devised
a watch for that purpose for partlau

dials to mark hard, soft and medium,
for duoks' and hena' eggs, there being,
however, but a single hand or pointer.
The mechanism marks the minutes
and half minutes up to ten, and even
the dnllest of servants by the aid of
this apparatus can tell when to remove
the boiler from the fire.

The people of Albany will no doubt

decided to establish a signal service
bureau in the Artesian City, for the
purpose of keeping the citizens posted
about what the condition of the

Messrs. Neuman it Tobias, tho en

ceived the appointment of keepers
of the signal service bureau in Alba

expected to arrive, and they will be
kept on top of Messrs. Neuman it To

whether tile wether will be rainy or

may be made for wlint is to come.
The signal service is a good thing
and the people of Albany may indeed
consider themselves fortunate for hav
ing a branch located in tile city.

The Board of Directors of the Geor
gia Chautauqua held a meeting last
night to listen to the report of the
Seuretary and Superintendent, to de
termine the exact status of the finan
cial affairs of the association, and to
determine a course for the future.
The Secretary's report may be
summed up as follows:
The Chautauqua Association owns
the tent, seats, etc., used eaoh year, as
well as the piece of property known as
the Chautauqua lot; the gate receipts
have nearly met the running expenses
of ench Chautauqua, but In making up
the deficit and purchasing such para
phernalia as is needed for n permanent
association, the capital stock original
ly subscribed to the association has all
been exhausted, and the directors now
themselves without reserve funds.
I f itu attendance equal to that of last
year, could he depended on fur the
oumi\tg Chautauquas, the ussooiati n
might he self-supporting. But as mat
ters stand now, in case of any unfor
seen accident lessening the number In
attendance, the association would find
itself without means to meet ex

the part oithe Board of Directors to
allow the Georgia Chautauqua to full

Wlint is needed to keep the association
on a firm footliig, and place it In a po
sitlun beyond the shadow of n doubt of
its success, is a guaranteed fund from
the citizens of Albany—a guaranteed
fund that will answer as a nest egg; a
subscribed fund that can be collected
in at an hour’s notice If necessary,
from which advance money for ex.
ponses oan be drawn at will, and from
wliloh any expense that the proceeds
fail to meet can be paid. It will not
be dltHcult for the Board of DIreotors
to seoure the subscription of such a
fund for severs! reasons.
First, as before stated, the reputation
of Albany is Identified with the Geor
gia Chautauqpa movement, Seeond,
there is not a merchant in the olty but
whose trade Is Increased by several
hundred dollars each spring by the
holding of the Georgin Chautauqua.
And last, any movement whioh brings

is a movement whiuh materially en
hances the value of every business en-

something to say about his treatment

this curious statement:
“In both Chicago and Minneapolis

The following pitiful wail of a dis
appointed soul came into the bunds of
a Herald reporter to-day.
It was written by a man who is
soured on the State of Texas, and for
the benefit of any of the Herald’s
readers who may have been for a time
attracted by the reputed wealth of the
farming districts of the Lone Star
State, we print the verse and give the
story of the man who wrote it.
The writer moved from Albany to
Texns some years ago, witli the hope of
an easily acquired fortune beating
high in tils breast.
But three successive years of drouth
layed low his hope and ruined his
urops, ns well ns using up the little
nest-egg that he had reserved for a
rainy day. A short time ago he wrote
his father for money enough to bring
him back to Albany.
He came back, and now lie swears
everlasting allegiance to the State of
his birth, and to Albany especially.
His lacerated feelings found vent in

Coluplrollcr General Thinks
Will lie Lower thin Year.
Comptroller General Wright tells
the Atlanta Journal that he thinks the
State and county tax will be reduced
this year.
He has received estimates made in
many counties, and upon these he bases
his opinion.
He also says that the railroad tax
will bring a great deal of money into
the treasury. Then the board of
equalizations in each county are seeing
to it that property is assessed at Its
proper value, and this faot will
decrease the ad valorem tax in the
State.
The Comptroller thinks the tax will
be lowered about ten cents on the hun
dred dollars.
