For South Carolina and Geor gia: Faiar Sunday and Monday; light winds, mostly northwest. Mr. Wingfield’s Tel! Fate of Time of Meeting Has Been Changed To Tuesday Morning As This is More Convenient Fox* Members of Commission. As more than one member of ths flood commission of city council will be called out of town next Tuesday afternoon, the hour of the meeting of the commission, to hear a report of Commissioner Nisbet Wingfield on the cost of a levee, has been changed from 4 p. m. to 11 o'clock a. m. The meeting will be held at the city of fices. As the commission is fairiy well aware how much the city can afford to spend for a levee, the report of Commissioner Wingfield will settle that question once and for all. It will be known when his estimate is read, whether or not Augusta can build such a levee as Coi. Kingman of Savannah, and Major Harrod, of New Orleans, recommended. If it is found that there is no chance for a levee, then the commis sioners will turn their attention ta what is regarded as the next best means of protection, i. a., a dredge boat for regular work in the river, and the removal of certain obstruo tions on the Carolina side of the river. A stretch of Augusta-Aiken trolley car track, from the North Augusta bridge to the foot of the North Au gusta hill, is laid on a sort of fill, or cause-way, four feet high. When the river got out of its banks in the recent flood, this embankment ob structed the flow of water, causing it to back tip, and much of the current of the flooded stream was thus turn ed toward Augusta. About a mile below the car track, a second ob structionexists, very much similar to the first. It is the Schultz Hill wagon road, elevated on an embankment that extends from thel Center street bridge to the foot of the hill. MAY REMOVE OBSTRUCTIONS. There is every reason to believe that the flood commission will insist on the removal of these obstructions, in case it is. that Augusta can not afford to build a levee. In which event, it is probable that the trolley car track and the wagon road will be built on trestles, like the one which the Southern railroad has built across the stretch of flat, bottom land. . The rip-rapping of the river banks on the Georgia side has also been con templated by the flood commission, as a partial substitute for protection in case a levee is not built. It is thought the government, will pay for this week, as the Savannah river is a navigable stream. The Charleston & Western Carolina railroad is now preparing to relay their tracks along the river bank, that were washed away in the flood, and for this pur pose piling is being driven down. Between this line of piling and the present line of river bank, the city wiil fill in, thereby forming a solid bank, and when the same is rip-rap ped it will be stronger than ever be fore. The raising of the canal banks is another plan of protection contem plated by the flood commission. This would not be a small undertaking, as the opinion of Commissioner Wing field has frequently shown. If the canal hanks are raised. It will be necessary to fill In soveral feet on the channel side of the bank. To run the banks up higher as they stand new. carrying out the present angle of slope, would make the top of the now bank very narrow; too narrow, FUNERAL NOTICE.

Report Will Levee Tuesday In fact, it is thought, to stand any thing like a severe strain. Data for the report of Commis sioner Wingfield was collected at a great expense, and the report will represent the result of long and ardu ous labor by several men. The route of the proposed levee, starting above the old silk mill, and running to a point about nine miles below the city, to the mouth of Butler’s Creek, was followed out by surveyors, who ran lines, secured elevations, cross lines, etc. It was also necessary, in mak ing up the estimate, to figure on the cost of real estate that would be in volved in the building of a levee such as the commission contemplate, ANOTHER DAM ACROSS RIVER. In this connection, it will be of much interest to the general public to know that the government has grant ed the city of Augusta the right to employ an expert Engineer, at the expense of the Twin City Power com pany, who shall superintend every detail of the work of constructing the company’s dam at price’s Island. This w-as done to insure protection for the city's interests. In this ca pacity. also. Commissioner Nisbet Wingfield has been employed by the Twin City Power company. He will watch the dam go up, and see to It that the terms of contract w'ith the Ambusen Hydraulic Construction company are carried out in detail. Mr. Fred B. Pope, chairman of the flood commission, stated last night that he had examined the plans for a dam which the Stevens Creek Pow er company contempaltes, and found that they propose, not to erect a dam across Stevens Creek, as was at first thought, but across the savannah River, at the mouth of Stevens Creek. The plan is to erect a solid rock dam, like the one of the City at the locks, 20 feet in height, and it is altogether probable that the engineer employed by the city to superintend the con struction of the Twin City dam will also he employed to see that the city’s interests are protected in the build ing of the Stevens Creek Power com pany's danp AT THE ARCADIUM The Arcadium this week will wit ness a new departure—one w'hich the patrons will not fail to appreciate. Beginning tomorrow-, and through the entire week, dramatic productions will be put on, the bills to change every day. Comedy will be the key note of every production, and a com plete play, with a well designed and coherent plot, Interspersed with hits of vaudeville, will compose the pro gram. The Arcadium has succeeded in se curing for this week “Brownie” Gil more’s Players, a quintet of able iter formers. Their first bill will he the well known “Deacon Smith’s Visit," a light and latlgh-making drama. Their work everywhere is referred to as wholesomely entertaining. In the troupe are some very clever vaude villists, and the week promises to be one of good comedy and healthy amusement. Visitors to the Arcadi um will see a new play every day and the enlarged auditorium will prove etjual to the great crowds that will, fill it. The class of moving pictures shown at , the Arcadium need not be en larged upon here. For this week a new series has been ordered, the sub ject matter of which is to be of an edifying and instructive nature. MR. J. R. LOWREY OIEDJATURDftY Did Not Rally From Par alytic Stroke Received on Evening of Seventeenth. Mr. Jacob H. Lowrey died last night at 7 o’clock at his residence, 515 Woodlawn. He suffered a paralytic stroke on the evening of the 17th inst., and though every possible at tention was given him, there has been no hope of his recovery. Mr. Lowrey was born In Edgefield county, S. C., on January 1, 1824, and came to Augusta In 1847, to work at Augusta Trunk Factory Wrong Side of Street. QENTL.EMEN!

CHEMIST’S SALARY! COMES OP AGAIN —« The regular monthly meeting of j city council will be held next Mon- i day night. The session will doubt- 1 less be lengthy and interesting, as several important matters will come up for the consideration of the city fathers. Among other things, the controver sy ns to the legality of the enact- I inent of an ordinance defining the du ties of a city chemist, and fixing the salary of the same will probably be settled. It Is expected that some member of council who voted for the passage of the ordinance will move its reconsideration. With the ques tion thus open, the minutes of coun cil will be submitted as evidence, to decide, once and for all, whether tho ordinance read -three times before Its enactment. It seems to be the general opinion that the minutes of council will show that the ordinance was only read twice. In which case it is likely that a vote will again ho taken, and the ordinance re-enact ed. Councilman Kalbfleiseh, who voted, along with three other members, against tho passage of the ordinance, says he will again vote "No,” but beyond that it Is hardly thought his opposition will make Itself felt. At the last meeting of council, Mr. Kalb fleisch delivered a very strong speech against the ordinance. He will not do this again, it Is thought. Tho city council of Summerville held a called meeting Friday, ami decided that they would be willing to pay half the cost of an automobile fire engine, provided they have the use of it wheff it is not in use down town, but that the city man tho en gine and maintain it. This proposal didn’t suit the fire committee, and they submitted a propasitlon to the Summerville council, on which an an swer Is to bo made Monday. So the question of appropriating money for the purchase of an auto mobile firo engine will, in all prob ability, come before council Monday night. Tho freight bureau matter will also come up. BUMS WANT I FEW BADLY A mass meeting of merchants who aer interested in the matter of a ferry aoross the river at .Center street to be operated until the bridge is com pleted will he held Monday evening at 7:45 o’clock.

The call which is being circulated for the meeting is as follows: “A ferry is wanted badly. “Merchants who aro vitally in forested in having a free ferry across the river near Center street, to bo operated until tho promised bridge is completed, will meet Monday night, March Ist, at 7:45 o'clock, at the Monument, in mass to go before the city council and beg consideration in our behalf. “Special committee: “A.

NASHVILLE, Tonn.—Two facts stood out strongly in the Cooper- Sharp trial Saturday for the murder of former United States Senator E. W. Carmack. One was the culling by the defense of Gov. M. R. Pat terson. The other was tho failure of the state to cross-examine him. It hns generally been conceded that— however innocently— Gov. Patterson was one of the remoto causes of tho killing. Carmack ran against Pat- Verson for tho democratic nomination ami loHt. Col. Cooper, former patron and friend of Carmack supported Pat terson. Tho newspaper light which began then did not end until the morning of the day of the tragedy. Throughout the testimony in the case the name of Gov. Patterson appeared insistently. Final ly Col. Cooper testified that the gov ernor sought and found him a few hours before tho tragedy. So the defense called the governor Saturday, did it reluctantly, some say, gladly according to others. Tho governor testified twice, once before the court and again before the Jury. To the court ho told how he was M. Shewn & Co.

What Mrs. Burch told him lie did not say hut It la known that lho girl was in deadly terror and ap pealed to the chief executive to use lilh influence to avert a tragedy. Whatever Mrs. I lurch said bo Im pressed the governor that he look his private secretary and began a fren zied hunt for the colonel commenced at 9 a. in., and ending at the Mat well hotel at noon, where ho found Cooper. lie discovered tho colonel’s anger and his declarations and told how he, Robin and Attorney Bradford soothed tho old soldier and made him promise to let friends at range a peaceable settlement. Every inter esting detail was revealed. Somehow the news got out that the governor was to testify and half an hour before hO was called the empty seals began to fill. Soon one of ihe biggest crowds of the trial jammed Ihe court room. The throng listened breathlessly to his every word. Tho governor Is n trained public speaker and he used his voice to splendid of fect illustrating his words with ges tures. After he had told his story lo Iho court while the jury was out Judge Hart decided that tho governor could not repeat the conversation at this conference but might state tho re mit of tho conference and describe the colonel's demeanor.
