REPORT OF FLOOD
COMMISSION
TONIGHT
-
Meeting of Council Should
Prove Very Interesting
One.
The regular monthly meeting of
! city council will be held Monday
j night. A long session la probable,
i Th<- Hood commission will make their
j report, which Is very exhaustive, and
council will go thoroughly into its
I various details. Several ordinances
will go to their second or third read
ing, and many matters will be
brought, to the attention of the city
fathers under the head of new busi
ness.
It was at first planned to call a
special meeting of council to hear
the flood commission report, but Com
missioner Wingfield's absence made
it Inadvisable to do this, on account
of the fact that many members of
council will probably desire to ask
questions about the details of the
work that the commission desire Mr.
Wingfield to answer.
Briefly, the report of the commis
sion recommends that as a protection
to the city from flood danger the
bulkheads of the canal be elevated at
the locks, the banks be elevated and
strengthened, the bed of Hawk's Gully
be paved, a levee be erected from
Hawk s Gully to Campbell street, that
Jackson, Mclntosh and Washington
streets be elevated and that the
licaver Dam ditch be enlarged. The
estimated cost of this work is $300,-
000.
The report of the commission will
also contain a recommendation prov
viding that the commission be made
a permanent hotly by an enactment
of the legislature, and authorized to
spend all the money which council
grants for protective measures, and
providing for an immediate expendi
ture of SIOO,OOO with which to begin
the work recommended. This reoont- i
! mendatton will probably be favorably i
| acted upon.
The appropriation committee will
make Its report to council Monday
night, Several matters have been
postponed until the appropriation
committee made its report, much
therefore will develop after Its rend
ing. The total amount of money
recommended by the committee to be
spont for all purpose (excluding the i
extraordinary expenditures) Is only a
little larger than the appropriation
for 190 k. It will be In the neighbor
hood of *f>oo,ooo.

of the unexploded shells of the fed
eral gunboat Housatonlc, sunk olf the
Isle of Palms by Confederate torpedo

THE AUGUSTA HERALD
MH. WINGFIELD HAS
TAKEN CHARGE
OFJTCH
Returned to His Desk on
Monday and f"ound Much
"Work Awaiting Him.
Commissioner Wingfield has return
ed to the city, after an absence of u
week or more, owing to the death of
his son, Mr. Wallace Wingfield.
Mr. Wingfield resumed hi 3 duties
at the city hall Monday morning, and
Immediately found much on hit
hands. The direction of the work of
the convict gang v/as turned over to
him by Mayor Dunbar, who has been
In personal charge since the force
was tak»n over by the city.
For several days the convicts will
bo at work clearing off the right-of
way of Beaver Dam ditch. The only
interruption to the work will be at a
point where the swamp is too wet
now to permit, of labor
After the right-of-way is clear, the
task of enlarging the ditch will be
taken up Immediately. Mr. Wing
field says that the swamp will be dry
after July. In the meantime, how
ever, to prevent the necessity of
waiting for the dry season, the low
er end of the ditch will be drained.
Then work will begin on the first cut
ting. The ditch will be taken down
to the water depth all the way. Then
the gang goes over It again, and the
depth will be cut to an average of
about six feet all the way.
Another matter which Mr. Wing
field will take up Is that of opening
bids for city work, which is set for
Tuesday. A contract will be awarded
for the erection of the new auxiliary
steam pumping station, for several
thousand dollars’ worth of street pav- 1
ing, and for other work.
AUTO CUT POLE IN TWO |
TO AVOID ACCIDENT
Sunday night about 10 o'clock
while out on the MlUedgevllle road
about five mile’s from the city Mr.
Lamar Hull in his automobile had an
accident. The car crashed Into a
telegraph pole, knocking It down. Tho
machine went through wire fence and
Into a field before it stopped.
Mr. Hull was driving at a high
speed when he saw a car backed
across the road turning about to
come back towards the city. He saw
that a crash was unavoidable, so
rather than to strike the car, he
turned the machine Into the post. The
other car waa occupied by Mr. Mau
rice Walton and a party.
The machine struck the post.,
which was about 12 Inches in diame
ter, breaking it off at the ground.
It was also torn from the wires and
fell to the ground. In some manna
the car was not damaged, nor were j
any of the party hurt.
In Memoriam
Alice M. Shopes, daughter of James
M. and Amanda Walsh. The subject
of this tribute was born February 3,
1883. She was united in marriage to
Laroy K. Shlpe* on January 5, 1908,
and shortly after their union moved
to Savannah, Ga., where they lived
prosperously and happily until the
relentless hand of Death, on March
2(1, 1909, released her pure spirit, that
It might sear to that better land
where endless days forever reign and
pleasures never cease. An operation
in the hospital seems to have been
successfully performed and bright
hopes were entertained that the young
life so fruitful of good would be
spared to her loved ones, but God di
rected otherwise.
tier body was brought to Blaekville,
her former home, and laid to rest in
the cemetery, Rev. J. D. Pitts conduct
ing the funeral service.
Of a remarkably amiable disposi
tion. bright and cheerful, she carried
sunshine wherever she w-ent.
It can be truthfully said of l.alla:
None knew her but to love her,
None knew her but to praise.”
ONE SPORT MADE DANGEROUS.
Dm feature of the new penal law,
With has just replaced the penal
code, is unknown to many of those
persons most interested. It makes
haring in colleges and similar institu
tions a misdemeanor, punishable by
a line of from $lO to SIOO, or impris
onment from thirty days to a year.
Where the haring takes the form of
tattooing or disfiguring the body by
nitrate of silver or a like substance,
jibe sport is held to he of the nature
of mayhem, and is punishable with
Imprisonment of from toree to fifteen
years.
This is a severe b’.ow- at an old and
a favorite sport. Little jokes that
1 may cost fifteen years in jail will lose
their savor to the jokers. Probably
the i>enal law reflects the feeling of
legislators who have no sense of hu
! mor. There are really those who see
no fun In hazing—who even consider
i it silly.—The Huffalo Express.

15-Pound Trout Was Sent
on Ice to President Taft
A beautiful fresh water trout,
weighing 15 pounds, was shipped In
a 300-pound block of Ice last Satur
day to President Taft by Mr. W. W.
j Hack, of Deßruce, Ga., on whose
place it was caught.
Chief Norris, Mr. J. W. Jansen and
Mr. Hack went trout fishing. They
had wonderful luck, landing in all
about 40 pounds of trout, besides
! other fish. One of the catch was the
magnificent specimen which will
' grace a festive board In the White
House.
A discussion arose about what
should'be done with th trout.
"It's worthy of a place on the
finest table in America,” said one
of the party admiringly, as he held
up the fish, "and that's not here.”
"Well, I reckon they don’t make
'em any finer than President Taft,”
commented Mr. Hack, and instantly
his Implied suggestion met with unan
imous approval.
So the fish was brought to town
post-haste, and turned over to Mr.
John Sancken. at the Consumer's
Ico company,
“Mr. Taft is a big man. In the hig
gest office America has to give him:
his table Is the most distinguished In
the nation: and there don't live much
finer specimens of than this.”
Such was the verdict. So it neces
sarily followed that the trout must
i have a big block of ice, and they
! froze him in the center of a 300-
pound lump.
A thick coating of sawdust was
smeared on, then a strong crocus
. sack was slipped around the whole
1 and securely fastened. So the ex-
AIMIISSM ONLJr DEPARTMENT STORE
press compnny took charge of the
large, chilly lump, and off it went
to Washington, addressed:
“To President William H. Taft,
Washington, D. C."
MONEY BECOMING

Bachc Quotes James J. Hill
Who Says Business is
Steadily Improving.
NEW YORK.—Mr. James J. Hill,
arbiter of the railroad map of the
Northwest and a careful student of
conditions and tendencies, has ex
pressed himself in the following man
ner, on his return from a month’s
stay in the west:
“There Is a steady but moderate
improvement in business. The busi
ness of the country is thawing out
from the great frost which struck It
in 1907 and which continued in 1908.
j The streams and rivulets are begin
! ning to trickle In their flow again,
1 and I do not believe that there will
be a return to the old panic condi
-1 tions. The abundance of money in
j the West is one of the healthiest
signs. With tne recovery from the
(Conditions which prevailed in 1907
i and 1908 fairly under way, the future
jls full of hope. The experience was
severe to all the country, but I be

I ever before.”
