To Endeavor to Have Im
mediate Survey Made With
View of Securing Levee Ap
propriation. To Urge Augusta
As Maneuver Camp Site.
Messrs. R. Roy Goodwin. Niabet
Wingfield and F. B. Pope left this
afternoon for Washington, D. C., to
endeavor to have a survey made ot
the Savannah River in the vicinity ot
Augusta so that Congressman Hard
wick and the senators from Georgia
mav have a better chance to win a
fight tor an appropriation for the
levee. Unless a survey is ordered
specifically of the section between
the locks and the mouth of butler s
Creek or, if that is impracticable at
this time, a survey between Hawks
Gullv and East Boundary, there will
be little chance for the city to get an
appropriation even at the next ses
sion of congress.
The Augusta delegation will secure
the assistance of the Georgia sena
tors to have a survey ordered at once
by the board oT engineers. It >3 con
tended that unless there is a survey
made and an estimate made of the
cost the matter cannot be presented
before congress at all.
While in Washington the Augustans
will also call on war department of
ficials to urge that this city be sc
iected as the place for the maneuver
canm of this action of the country.
Charleston was originally selected
but the secretary of wav lias decided
that the camp shall no? be he.d in
South Carolina, inasmuch as he and
Governor Blease had a misunderstand
ing.

MORNING WITH THE RECORDER
Aristocratic session today. Fir&t
Colored Circles have had a Seism-
The smart set has broken away from
the old exclusive element. The frac
ture was brought about over the sub
ject of trial marriages, but it is im
possible to go further into the dis
cussion of the case, owing to the
prominence of the parties concerned
and the obscurity of the matter at
issue.
This report must be confined to a
young white gentleman who exceeded
the speed limit—or rather, who did
not exceed the speed limit. He was
reported to the authorities by a gen
tleman who lives on Mclntosh Street.
This gentleman, in an animated coii
versation over the telephone with the
Desk Sergeant Saturday night, re
ported that a blue racing car had
passed his house at the rate of 75
(seventy-five) miles an hour. The desk
sergeant exxpressed surprise and un
belief, whereupon the gentleman rais
ed it to eighty. This together with
the gentleman’s earnest manner im
pressed the desk sergeant, wno made
inquiries and discovered that there
was only one b.ue rasing ear in town.
(Incidentally you needn’t look out for
it. it’s being painted this morning,
shade unknown). The gentleman ad
ded that there were two children and
two wagons in the street at the time
of the hurried passing by, who were
afterwards found in the tree-tops, or
would have been, or something, if
something or other had not happened,
or failed to happen. (It was a little
vague.
- It was afterwards discovered that
he referre* only to the children —
nobody knows what happened to the
wagons—or would have happened.
He said in court this morning that
Season Tickets for Our Forthcoming Redpath Chautauqua
In arranging to inaugurate this chautauqua this year the local committee bought 1,000 $2.50 season tickets, which
will be sold, while they last, by them for $2.00 each.
When these tickets are exhausted no season tickets thereafter can be had for less than $2.50. Also, the price of
season tickets will not be reduced from the first day to the close of the chautauqua.
The single admissions to the different sessions of this chautauqua aggregate more than SB.OO, so it will pay you to
buy a season ticket even after the program is half completed. For the single admissions to the respective entertainments
see program. Season tickets are non-transferable except within the owner’s family.
CHILDREN’S TICKETS admit children aged six to fourteen years inclusive. All children are admitted to the
children’s work free.

there were ladies in the car who were
screaming at the top of their lungs.
This latter our hero, the defendant,
explained by saying that he had a
dog in the back of the machine by
the gas tank which was on the vergo
of falling out (the dog, not the tank),
and the ladles, observing this, were
screaming at him to save the dog—
which he did. He further contended
that at the rate of thirty miles an
hour (which the gentleman compro
mised on as a modest estimate for the
purposes of trial) he would have been
unable to rescue his dumb friend.
“You saw the dog by the tank,
didn’t you?’’ asked our hero of the
Gentleman.
“Couldn't even see the tank,’’ he re
turned. “Saw nothing but a cloud of
dust. Before I had crossed Fenwick
Street, you were down at Calhoun
Street.”
Anyhow the Judge reluctantly let
him off, for lack of certain proof.

CHILDREN TO MOTHER;
ALSO GETS ALIMONY
Judge Hammond’s Decision
Affirmed in Case Jones vs.
Jones. E. Foster Brigham
Wins.
Notice has been received from the
state court of appeals nffinning tho
decision of Judge Henry C. Hammond
of the superior court, Augusta circuit,

Margaret R. Jones, rendered last July
In favor of Mrs. Jones. Mrs. Jones
was represented by E. Foster Brig
ham, Esq., and Jones by Attorneys J.
S. and N. M. Reynolds.
The (rial of the case here crented a
great deal of interest. It brought out
the story of a husband rind wife sepa
rating about three months after their
marriage. The wife filed a petition
for alimony. Upon that petition a de
cree was rendered, reciting that the
parties had arrived at a settlement by
terms of which the husband agreed to
pay the wife, in settlement of all
claims which she might have against
him for alimony both temporary and
permanent, the sum of *1,200, which
sum was to he "used by her In her
own support, and In the support and
maintenance of her unborn child,
should the same survive, so that the
said (wife) shall have no further claim
against the said defendant for ali
mony, temporary or permanent, or for
the support, maintenance, or educa
tion of said prospective child should
It survive.” It was thereupon adjudged
that the sum of money agreed upon,
when paid, shall completely discharge
the husband from any liability for the
support and maintenance of the wife
and any prospective child. Soon after

sums of money which may seem prop
