Chairman Dale returned to the city yea

queetiona relating to the drainage of the

"This pectlon *outhweat of the* city,"
paid Chairman half, *la about the only
one arourd th- city that I* not now well
drained by the various dralnag* canal*
of the county. The Telfair and Dundee
awampj* undoubtedly need attention and
would have received It before, but for
the unwillingness of the ownrra of ton*
of the property In that Icm allty to five the
county the necfsmry rights of way for
the construction of canals and laterals
The matter has been under advisement
and discussion more than one*, but th<
county has ftcv<r been able to come to
an anr>*-ment with the property owners
that would make the construction of the

Chairman Dale said that It Is the plan
of th* 1 commissioners to divert as great
a percentage of th* drainage of the sec
tion lust southwest of the city US Is
possible from th Mu* grove canal to the
finckhalter canal, thus inking It away
from the city rather than towards It. and
through It on Its way to an outlet. The
Mopgrove canal runs through a portion
of the present city limits, while the Buck
halter carries Its Waters to the Little

and Chairman Dab* stated th.it it would
be necessary, practically to redlg and re
construct the Harmon runal.
From th* section were of th city th**

that taome of the re*dlenta of tha section
had taken the matter into they- hinds
and had blown up a portion of the bad of

V was said, waa not more than half large
enough to carry off 4 the Crater that ac

had H that the site of the outlet had been
materially increased with th* assistance
of a few pound* of giant powder or a stick

In tlie stricken t Ity.
The disaster which has lefallen the city
of Galveston wa* naturally the *uhject of
deep regret yesterday and very general in
terest was manifested in obtaining further
and mor** definite news The natural ten
dency was to believe that the loss of life
had been greatly exaggerated and perhaps
the loss of property as well, though It was
generally admitted that the condition of
affairs must Indeed be serious. There was
naturally an element of thankfulness that
the storm had chosen to expend Its force
Upon the cities of the Gulf rather than to
visit It* wr.*h ut>on Savannah, though
there waa no disposition to rejoice in the
misfortune of G.k*?*ton.
Should th*- people of Galveston be In
md of assistance, as more than likely
they will. It 1* safe to assert that none
will respond more read!ly to their call
than the p**opie of Savannah. Mayor
Myers said yesterday that no action would
be taken by Council until more definite in
formation .h*u and b* received, but It Is not
unlikely that resolutions of sympathy and
condolence will be adopt*d at the next
meeting of that body. Should aid be re
quired. Mayor Myers said, this me*ter
would lx* taken In hand In the usual way
a movement among the cltlsen*.
A mtmler of the Savannah Henevolent
Association, when *jk* n to on the sub
ject. sad thot should the state of affairs
at Galveston be as serious as Is supposed,
the association would nlmo*t certainly b*-
ll**l together for the purpose of taking
action In the matter ami that doubtless a
liberal donation to relieve the necessities
of she people of the sister city would be
made.

Mr. O. T. Heater, recretary ot the New
Orleans rollon exchange. e|>etn yesterday
In Savannah and waa a viaitor upon the
lloor of the Savonnirh rollon oxotiange.
Naturally the preeencr of • min who I*
iensiret • (he mom reliable cotton ata
tlrttolan In the country, ami whore tlgurea
of the cotton movement are eagerly
watched for each week, waa n matter of
aome Interest to the member* of the ex -
t hamce nnd Mr Heater waa given a warm
welcome.
The excited condition of the cotton mar
ket at the time <l*l not prevent the mem
ber* fr. m showing Mr. Hester the atten
tion which he deserved, ami doubtlcas
some of them felt that the counsel of the
we||-knotvn expert would he valuable at
such a time Mr. Hester referred Inqulr
■ra to hta recent atatement of the crop
of the year ending Sept. 1, and the con
ditions as to the supply existing at that
time ami stated that he thought the Sep
tember report of the Department of Agrt
■ulture gave a fair klea of present con
ditions.
When seen by a Morning News reporter
Mr. He.ter talked plearnntly of matter.*
relating tn hi* work, but declined laugh
ingly lo m.ike any estimate a* to the com
ing crop, though he Intimated that all the
Indications toln’ed to n crop considerably
h low the ateiage of recent year*.
"I do not make estimates,” said Mr.
Master. "'I deal In fact* and al ow other
men to make calculation* upon the llg
ure* which I give them. The prophet who
makes predictions come- to grief sooner
or Inter. He may hit It right nine time*
In succeeelon and miss It the tenth tune
whereuixrii he will be unanimously <|c
i-lared a fool. Wltnrsa my friend Neill In
New Oilcans. Neill wa* honest In hie
prediction s* to the last year* crop The
condition of that crop were very peculiar
and hi* system misled h.m "
• I have laen putting In some hard work
during the month of August.” said Mr
Hester, getting up the data for the crop
of MM-IMO. In order that my figures might
be given to the public a* usual on Sep
tember J. You have already published
im report Naturally I fed tliat after
completing this task I am entitled to
eome recreation and I am simply taking
a turn through some of the other southern
cotton idle* before returning to my desk '
Mr. Hester has been compiling theee
crop retorts for the last thirty years, be
ginning this work ns secretary of the
National Cotton Exchange, which had It*
headquarters In New or.ean*. and con
tinuing It In his present capacity ns sec
retary and superintendent of the New
Orleans Exchange, which position he has
filled for a number of years. Naturally
he Is well parsed In everything that per
tain* to the youth's great crop, though
ills reports deal chiefly wlfh the weekly
crop movement.
' The Southern farmer In on top for
the first time In a numtrT of years." said
Mr Hest.r. and the Indication* are that
he will stay there for awhile. He receiv
er! a good price for last year's crop and
that there I* every reason to believe that
he will receive a better price for this crop
The good price which he re
ceived for Inst year's crop, the economy
which he ho* been forced to exercise for
■he last several year*, the raising of sup
plies a> home which he had been buying
from other section*, have ail helped to
make him Independent One of the great
est helps to the farmer during the list
srnimn was th* good price he received for
his cotton setxl. Heed brought from 110 to
122 a ton nnd The value of the crop tn cash
lo the Southern farmers, after deducting
10 |er cent, for seed for the next crop,
was-to. less than pi'.oon.nno. That's n htg
item. Another cheerful feature *ln this
connection t* the number of small eotton
oil mills which have sprung upall through
the della an<l Texas and doubtless In this
section as well. These mills are often lo
cated five miles from a railroad, 112,000 to
|ir.,nno phints most of them, and operated
hy the men who furnish the money. They
buy their seed from Its farmers of the sur
rounding country and sell them In return
cotton seed meal and other producl*. thil*
saving freight both ways. Conducted In
this manntr the small mill* are practically
trust proof and are keeping a great deal
of money In the South that would other
wise go to other sections.”
As to the conditions of the present crop
Mr Hester said that there Is a great leal
of romplalnt from the delta and from
Texas and he had been advised that the
condition of the erop In the section was not
the best hy a good deal. The Heptember
weather report furnished a fair statement
of the condition-, he thought.
“It Is too early to form an opinion as to
what effect the storm damage In Texas
wIH have upon the crop.” he said, "We
shall have to watt for more definite Infor
mation. I sincerely trust that Galveston
Is not so severely hurt a* to-day's report*
would Indicate. Notwithstanding our ri
valry a* cot ion ports. New Orleans and
Galveston enjoy the most friendly rela
tions. True, should Galveston be so badly
hurt an to he unable tn handle her usual
proportion of the eotton crop. New Or
leans will cheerfully relieve her of the
burden, and no doubt Savannah will lend
a hand also.”
Mr Heater took the Central train for
Atlanta last night, from whence he will
go to Birmingham and other cltlea.

INJUNCTION HTIIITKII THIS MONO.
Mnslr Mall Mnger Enjoined by Law
Krona Yppbarlng oaa the stage.
There I* an old maxim that birds that
can sing and wont sing must be made to
sing, hut It Is not often the case that
bird* that can alng and want to sing are
prevented front singing by prove** of law.
y.f that I* what happened last night Mira
Lissle Stewart Is the singer. Bhe wa*
billed to sing at the regular performance
of the New Alhambra, and wa* prevented
from appearing on the stage by an In
junction secured from Judge Robert Eol
lig.tnt by E. A. Massart. proprietor of the
Royal.
The singer, according to Massart'*
story, came to Savannah from Tampa
last Friday on a ticket which he fumlsh
edTier, and with the distinct understand
ing that she wa* to appear at the Royal
for a two-weeks' engagement at 120 a
week. She was to have commenced her en
gagement last night, and programmes an
nouncing the fact had been printed one
oi her specialties ! the singing of "The
Blue and the Gray." with vl< w* depicting
the scene# that are mentioned In the
s >ng. The slttles for this song r. quite
elaborate, and had been prepared by Mr.
Massart at a consltlrrable outlay.
Y’ts'.erday afternotw, without any pre
vious notice. Miss Stewart decided not to
sing at the Royal, and going to Mr. Ulldea
of the N w Alhambra, etcurtd an engage,
ment with him and arranged to go on
last night. This contract completed, she
sent to the Royal for her trunk, but the
manager of that house refustd to allow
her to have It. Miss Stewart then took
legal measures anti swpre out a posses
sory warrant for her property In the Court
of Magistrate C. D Kline The warrant
was served, hut still Mr. Massart refused
to deliver the trunk, n he was arrested
and taken to the oflW of the magistrate.
The rase mas deeded In favor of the
plaint IT. and Mr Mas<att glten the option
of dtllverlng the trunk, going to Jail or
giving a bond for his future appearance.
Ilf- gave bond for **, and through his
counsel. Messrs. Walter C. Hartrldge and
Gordon Baussy, served a notice that the
case would h.- taken Into the Huperlor
Court on a of ctrllorart.
The singer evidently thought the case
settled for the lime hetng hut Mr.' Mnssart
was determined that If she would not sing
for him she shouldn't sing for unybody
else, that te if he could help it. so the In
junction was secured anti served on her
by Deputy HhetifT Ed O'Connor just be
fore she went on the stage.
The hearing of the injunction ease will
be held before Judge K.illlgant to-iorrow.
