ARMY OFFICER’S REPORT
Crops Were Completely De
stroyed in the Section Be
low Augusta.
SCHOOLS MIL MIT OPENED
Temporary Canal Banks Collapsed—-
Spartanburg, S. C., Man Missing
Since Flood.
Augusta, Ga. —Captain A. IT. Hu
guet, United States Army, here in
connection with the flood conditions,
has returned from a trip of inspection
down the Savannah valley. He was
accompanied by Congressman J. O.
Patterson. He reports that the sec
tion below Augusta suffered greatly.
Crops are completely destroyed, and
a number of houses were washed
away. The people, mostly negroes,
are in extreme distress. In some
spots the damage was worse than at
Augusta. Captain Huguet has ordi3r
government supplies sent there.
At Robins, 40 miles down, the water
was 36 feet deep. Robins is in a ba
sin, ordinarily protected from flood
waters by a high (bank. Water got
over this bank and did great damage.
Asa result of the recent flood, the
public schools will not open until the
ilrst of October, two weeks late. The
enrollment of pupils was made Mon
day morning, and the schools were
closed until the call of teachers is
made. This measure is occasioned by
a lack of water, and the consequent
complications of crowded buildings.
The work of cleaning up the city is
progressing well, and nearly every
vestige of the w’ork wrought by the
flood has been removed. The im
provement of the streets has been
rapid and will continue until finished.
William J. Oliver is now busily at
work on the canal, and it is probable
that the waterworks will be in op
eration in a few days. The tempo
rary canal bank, at the break, 400
yards above the pumping station, has
collapsed. The collapse has caused a
distinct disappointment. Meanwhile
there will he a 2,000,000 gallon supply
daily, just as there has been during
the past.
Spartanburg, S. C. —It is feared that
D. S. Whitt of Macon, Ga., who trav
els for the Southern Granite and Mar
ble Company of this city was drown
ed in the flood in Augusta, Ga., during
the latter part of August, as nothing
has been heard of him since August
22, when he wrote a letter to his com
pany from Aiken, saying lie expected
to leave within the next few days
for Augusta. President Dodgen of
the Southern Granite and Marble
Company, is a,t a loss to account for
the disappearance of Mr. Whitt unless
he was caught by the flood in Augusta
and drowned.
RAILROADS BU NOT CONNECT.
Citizens of Fitzgerald and Other
Towns Appeal to Commission.
Atlanta, Ga. —Chairman McLendon
of the railroad commission of Geor
gia has received numerous complaints
from citizens of Fitzgerald, Abbeville,
Rochelle and Ocilla about the failure
of the Southern and Seaboard to con
nect at Helena.
It seems that the Southern, which
carries the mail from Atlanta and all
points north, east and west, leaves At
lanta about midnight and arrives at
Helena at 5:45 a. m. The Seaboard
train from Savannah to Americus
passes Heleiia at S:TO, or just thirty
five minutes before the arrival of the
Southern. The resultiof this failure
to make connection Is to cause seri
ous inconvenience to all the people
west of Helena served by the Sea
board and to cause an extensive de
lay in the delivery of mail.
These facts jiave been reported to
the railroad commission. Chairman
McLendon declares he is unable to
make a ruling offhand on this point
or until a full hearing before the full
commission. *Te is willing to call this
hearing, if desired.
NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICER
Is Candidate for Pension Commission
er of Georgia.
Ga. —W. W. Wilson of Bu
ford, Ga., candidate for pension com
missioner, is believed to be the last
surviving non-commissioned officer of
the confederate army. Mr. Wilson
was for more than ten years editor of
The Plow Boy, which paper was given
a state and national reputation for its
defense of the rights of the old vet
erans. He has been a member of the
house of representatives for the last
two terms. His friends are sanguine
of his success in the October elec
tion.
DEMORESTWAS SELECTED.
North Georgia Association of Con
gregational Churches Adjourns.
O
Oxford, GfO —At the annual meeting
of the * North Georgia Association of
Congregational Churches, which was
in session at Cardis, 6 miles north of
this place, it was decided to hold the
next meeting of the association at
JPemorest 011 Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday preceding the second Sun
day in September, 1909. Rev. W. O.

Church at Demoiest; Rev. C. C. King,
of Atlanta, and Rev. J. C. Forrester,

fl-t Hoschton, were named members of

People in the Moultrie section are
watching Dry lake just now. Dry

Pidccck that has a habit of drying it
self every seven years. This is the
year for Jlhe lake to dry itself, and
the water is now disappearing through
an opening in the bottom of the lake.
The process is a little slow, and it
will take a week or ten days for it to
get low enough to catch the many fish
that it contains with nets and seines.
The fishermen are getting daily re
ports from it, and at the right time
will swoop down on the fish that are
said to be in great size and quantity.
Elbert county, Georgia, will rebuild
wooden bridges recently destroyed
by the flood with steel structures.
The Georgie and Alabama Industri
al Index says: “In the industrial de
velopment of Georgia in recent years

several of the modern high school
buildings being erected in Alabama

By omitting the final letter “r” from
the word manufacturer in the Wise
“near-beer” bill the bill was made to
require the “manufacture” of the im
itation beer to have his name appear
on the label. The legislature passed
the bill in this shape without any
change, and the lawyers are now spec
ulating *on what effect the strange
omission of a letter will have in case
a manufacturer chooses not to label
his bottles sold in this state.
Work will begin within the next
month or so on an extensive, mill fac

The sum of $184,64.00 has been ap
propriated by the Bibb county board
of commissioners for operating expen
ses this year. This is an increase of
about $7,000 over last year. It will take
all of the above amount to run the
