The break occurred before daylight, and no one, as far as I know, saw it go. At daylight it had already cut down below ihe bottom of the canal and most of the water in the canal had escaped. "From a careful examination I aui satisfied that the first break was at I the top, where the sand bags were not backed up. and not at the hot | tom, where they were backed. This ,is borne out by the fact that tho [new break was not near the deep ; part of the dam. "The portion of the dam 17 feet ihigh was undisturbed while the break occurred where" the bags were only about 7 feet high. Another day’s work backed up would have made it 1 safe, and this we expected to do I while the water was rising. Tho quick and unexpected rise on the un i finished work destroyed it." To Fix Blame Later. In farther summarizing the matter | Mr. Wingfield states that he will bo | prepared to report later as to why > the water was turned on in sucli ! quantity. Mr. Wingfield reports that work on the streets has progressed favorably and that no time lias been lost in putting them in shape for trat tic. With few exceptions all the sew ers stood the strenuous times without injury. None of the paved streets with concrete foundations suffered from the flood waters. in closing Mr. Wingfield speaks well tor perma nent construction and says: "As an evidence of the economy of permanent construction. I call your | attention to the fact that no street paving, masonry arches, sewers or any other permanent work which has been put in since I have bad charge l of the public works department was injured at all, and no repairs what i ever have been necessary. The a*»tit Iment .walls at the bridge on Kill) street over the second level of the canal, and on Bth street, over the third evel, which gave way, were old walls which had not been carried to a proper foundation." GOOD SEATS TO BE HAD FOR “MERRY WIDOW” First Night About Sold Out, But Plenty Deft For Saturday Performances. The impression has somehow got ten out that there an no uts to be had for "The Merry Widow.” Never was an impression more or roneotts. It is (rue that the advance sale has been a phenomenally successful one. anil that on the fir: ;i day thi sale opened thue ' were far more seats sold than arc generally dis posed of in three days. It is als* true that only one or two s.-rfs kr left for Friday night. I lo.veve’ there are still any number of down stairs seats to he had for Saturdn afternoon and Saturday night Tti fact that there ate still some Satin day night seats to be had is not dm to an' lack of appreciation on tin part of the August;* public, lnr rather because so very many poop! have business engagements for Sa' urday night that they are compelled to forgo the pleasure of the theatre for that one evening Still, there are many seats already sold for Sa - urday nigh* and those who wish to avail themselves of this opportunity to see the great New York produc tion had best hurry to the Grand to secure the best ot what is left. There are several fashionable box parties arranged for the matinee Saturday, and it promises to he the most brilliant matinee audience ever seen in Augusta. THE MATINEES THIS WEEK. Augusta Is establishing quite a reputation for herself as a matlne town, and to say that the women and girls are eqinyfng the opportunlti thus afforded them of seeing some splendid attractions Is to express It mildly. In addition to the big "M»*r ry Widow” matinee Saturday which Is the event of the season, there ari two matinees this week that prom! * to be splendidly attended, the Wole Nff.nstrels and "Human 11- iris” a' both of which school children ma> get the best available seals for twen ty-flve cents. This plan of selilii children matinee tickets for two five cents even when the rcgul*. price Is one dollar is proving an ad vtsabie one not only from the stand point of the local mating* m nt, bui decidedly so Horn th*- viewpoint of the mothers who must take tbetr children with them to th*- theatre or slay at home, and who find it rather too expensive to buy two nr more high priced tickets. The matinee IS HIS SOLD SCHOOUBS Atlantan in City To Get Furnishings Levied on for Rent By Bryan Lawrence Prof. Todd, manager of the At lantic branch of the Draughon’s Busi ness College is in the city to get the furnishings of the Southeastern Busi ness College that were levied on by Bryan Lawrence lor rent.

TIE LIMIT FOR PAYMENT OF TAXES The time limit for the payment of i the last quarterly city tax for 1908 ! will expire October 2b and those who fail to pay up by that time will lie served with fi fas, which will entail additional cost on the delinquents. Collector and treasurer Morris re ! quests that those who are in position I to' do 0 will please corite forward I and avoid the rush ou the closing utaya ' "I'lie' waxes are already due and it is more desirable to pay up now than to wait a few days and be in the Vnsh. The dray and hack licenses are also due and the time limit for these wilt all expire on October 15. The police department will stop the operation of all vehicles without liconse as rapidly as they are located, but it is under stood that all who come forward and pay during the next week wili bo al lowed to go on without additional tax. However, the license is due now. THE CIVIC SITUATION. W. H. Allen, in the October Atlantic. America's greatest legacies are hor greatest disappointment,—religion, ed ucation, democracy!
