The Great Water Tower of
Rome to Be Repaired Soon.
a Large Number of Hands at Work—
What They Are Doing to the Wonder
ful Reservoir— Engineering Skill Which
will Compare Well with the Best in This
Country.
A few days since a Tribune reporter
mentioned the fact of the giant tower,
which is situated over the city reservoir,
being slightly out of order.
Yesterday he again visited the spot and
found Mr. Lew Wagner, the genial super
intendent of the city water works, and
who lhas the contract to remodell and
over-haul the tower, with a large number
of workmen engaged in putting in new
timbers and bolts and taking every pre
caution to make'the tower even more
durable than it was before.
For eighteen long years ’ his old tower
has stood like a sentinel guarding the citys
liquid fountain, but the storms of winter
and the suns of summer, together with
old “father time,” had their effect upon
it at last, and some weeks ago people who
noticed the old tower, were horrified to
see that it had taken a fearful leaning
disposition. This of course made the
cbool children, who attend school near
t, feel >n jeopardy and so the committee
• public MUdings employed Mr. Wagner
examine^BL repair the old tower.

Wagner relates that he had not done a
thing toward putting the tower back.

marshes or swamps is the island above
mentioned. Colonel Harper owns some
twenty-three hundred acres on that
island. There are about thirty negroes
on the Colonel’s lands, and excepting
those few human beings no one is seen
upon the island in the course of a year.
It is here that Mr. Harper' hies
away, when in quest of pleasure
and in this lonely wilderness, in common
heritage with the bear, the catamount,
the deer, the fox, and with the glorious
American eagle overhead, he can fish,
feast and fancy as long and as much he
pleases.
U hile on his recent trip Colonel Harper
was present when the negroes killed a
monstrous alligator. It was some twelve
feet in length.' He brought the foot, of
that monster creature home with him. A
Tribune reporter saw it and was as
tounded. Its elaws measure fully four
inches in length. Ho also brought the
foot of a deer that be killed and the last
specimen shown was by no means the
least. It was a specimen of the cotton
grown on the islands <if the South sea.
It is almost as flue as silk and is far more
beautiful than that grown in the upland
country. This cotton thrives excellently
on Mr. Harper’s sea island plantation and
is sold for an average of 22 cents per
pound.
Georgia has some remarkable country.
