BiMITTEF OFF ID 11NGT0N 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.

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.
