Jp Allow me to call the attention of
the public, through your cqluuing* to
some points with regard to sewerage
' y which have been overlooked by the
. advocates of that measure; although
to me they appear to be very impbr-
taut. * *' '• ; ! , «£§
First, in oVder that, sewerage may
be of advantage to the community, if
must be obligatoiy to all restdents
on the line of mains to connect with
^WMten. In order to oohheot
arid safely, these residents mustput
in a system of water dosests or sinke.
If they do so, they must have water
service from the elty water works:
These expenses are not considered
in the appropriation of bonds for
sewerage..
This city is, with the exception of
the business portion on Newcastle
and Bay streets, widely mattered as
to houses. Many blocks have at one
end the dwelling of, an individual
who could well afford to spend $50
$100 to put in plumbing necessary
to connect with the sewers. At the
other end, or intermediate, may be
the residence of a man whose whole
income is not more than enough to
supply his wants and those, of his
family, and who could not possibly
, afford to.connect with the sewer and
pay for water supply. .In such a case,
and there are many such, it would be
an injustice to the large property
holder, that he should expend the
sum necessary to connect with the
sewer, and that his near neighbors
should continue the present system,

Governor Gordon has ordered the
two Williams convicts from Coffee
sent back to Glynn county jail for
safe keeping. A supersedeas bad
baan granted, but the men had been
sent on before it reached here. Hcnte
the Governor had to Interpose bis
authority to' get them for their sec
ond trial. ' .
The reason assigned by Governor
Gordon for the pardon of Higgin
botham was, that Clansy, the man
killed, said before hwdied, that ^‘he
was the one to blame and that he
did not wish Mr. H. prosecuted.”
Bunch Sybil, Dock Easterling,
George LoVell and Edward Rogers,
who were sentenced last Glynn Su
perior Court to spend the next 7 to
20 years in the Georgia penitenl
ary, left this morning in charge of a

%
eidal, but which has not yet increas
ed our death rate above eight per

The expense for putting in water
closets and connecting with mains
for a distance of thirty feet, which
would he the minimum, would,be for
each house $25. The water supply,
which would he absolutely.necessary
wohld he $1 for each spigot per
month.
While there are numbers of (citi
zens who would be willing to spend
this amount, how many would he un
able to do so ? If sewerage is to he
used only by those who can expend
the amount necessary to connect
with both sewer and water mains,
wbat good will accrue to the vast
majority who can do neither ?
Sec&nd. I do not wish' to discuss
the engineering difficulties, as it
would require too much space; but
if the outlet to the main at Clubb’B
creek is at low water mark, how is
the sewerage to find egress at flood
tide and high water ? * If it docs not
find this egress, it must accumulate
in the mains and generate gas.
What disposition is to be mode with
this'gas? What is to prevent it, in
the hours which must intervene be
tween high and low water, frorii
forcing its way back though any
system of traps which may bq put
in ?
Many parts of the town through
which the sewer mains pass as per
plan, are much lower than high wa
ter mark at ordinary tides. How,
. then, are we to expect to get a fall
sufficient to flush them without a
system tit power pumps, for which
we will require an additional arte
sian well ?
In conclusion, * I would suggest-
tliat the present system, if properly
carried out, is sufficient to keep this
city up to its phenomenal position as
to health until it becomes more
thickly settled and in a better flnan-
A Half-Way Place.
Captain Buriwy Dart, the steam
boat man,' has been considerably
worried of late with his boats—dif
ferent little things getting out of or

ing, just after he had learned that
the pattern to a certain wheel that
he had to have re-cast was destroyed,
thuB making the delay of one of his
boats a week instead of a day. This
was too much for him. Said he
"Mr. Editor, there must be a middle
place somewhere between Heaven
and purgatory for steamboat men.

Coqjury.
Engineer William Dart has a very
fine watch dog that ho could not
keep at home. A fqw days ago a
negro deck hand on his boat said.to
hiih:
"Mars Billy, tell you wat do wld
dat dog. You git a piece of ribund
stick and cut off de end square, and
den measure it to dat dog's tail and
make it de same lenk; den you cut
off de end of dat dog’s tail all put
um on de end ob dat stick, an dribe
um down eben wid de ground, and
after dat dat dog will neber lof
home, Voptln’ when he go wid you.”
Billy says lie tried the experiment, -
and sure enough that dog has never
loft home since, althpugh at liberty
to do so. He said he duly cut off the
hnshyj end of the tail—not the skin.
