UNCLE TOMS CABIN.

Both The Lansing Republican and The
Jackson Star, of Michigan, heartily en-
dorse the Boston Ideal Company, whose
advertisement appears elsewhere in The
Pilot. The Star says: 'That this old
time drama will never wear out, has been
testified to this week here in Jackson.
The Boston Ideal Company presented it
to crowded house two nights, and 80
excellent was the performance that we
believe it would have filled the opera
house for two more nights. The COM
pany certainly eoiipses any troupe that
ever presented it in this city. Blanche
Slader gave us Topsy that is inimitable.
a genuine rollicking mischievous negro
girl, who plays the banjo and sings well
besides Mr.. Frank Smith as "Marks"
was great; his makeup, facial expression,
and conception of the character was all
that could be desired. Little Pansy
made charming Eva,-the smallest and
most precocious child, we have ever wit
messed in the character. The Jubilee
Singers-genuine negroes-sang well and
were heartily encored, while the kennel
of blood hounds performed their part in
the most blood-thirsty manner conceiv-
able. All in all, the Boston Ideal Com
pany is strong combination, and The
Star can conscientiously endorse it to our
sister towns"

THERE is prospect that the report of
the equalizing commission will not only
be roughly handled by the county board
but that it will be entirely disregarded.
Some of the most prominent members of
the board advise setting it entirely aside.
1t is the general opinion of lawyers that
the report is illegal and of no force and
some are quite emphatic in their express
sion of this opinion. The report is re-
ally of very little value and dealing sole,
ly with real estate as it does, something
on which there has been no controversy,
makes it a thing of very little moment but
for the injustice it does certain towns.

THE question of fuel is becoming a
very important one. For almost three
months it has been impossible to bring
doubt that there would be considerable
distress but for the coal yards in the city.
People here converted wood stoves into
coal stoves and coal is used in majority
of kitchens in the city already, The con.
tinued bad roads of the past year will
serve as warning to people to provide
for the future when there is opportunity.

wafer Wolkr-No.I

Editor Morning NeaoS: see in your paper
Of the 28th ulimo that Colonel Cole has
sent on his 'plans for the new works"
Allow me through your paper to intrude
myself again before the Mayor and Com
mittee of Water Works.
Gentlemen, 1 own little property IN the
city, and, finding the taxes burthensome,
think 1 sm privileged to drop word
against unnecessary expenditure.
True, am a countrymsn, and know little
OF the advance OF city conveniences and
contrivances. For instance, don't know
the weight, or its cost per running foot of
the main which is to connect the stand pipe
with the pump, but as the distance between
these points is according to our editors fig
ures $4,000 feet upwards of two miles, a
saving in this matter would tell.
In the next place, l do not know the
method Of connecting the pieces Of the
main, but, as it is two feet In diameter, l
suppose it is liable to leaks or rupture, aud
therefore this hiss to be guarded against by
great weight and thickness and accuracy of
fitting, for 1t has to bear the wdter pressure
necessary to raise the water into the reser-
voir and to the top of the stand-pipe, which
is one hundred feet, or forty five pounds to
to say nothing Of the pulsations OF the
pump.
Another thing don't know, which is how
high the "receiving basins" are above high
tide, and If they are easily filed by the old
pump; II from five to ten feet, the water
would flow thence to the city without the
use of pump by its natural power of find
ing a level; and, therefore, as the water
pressure would not be more than five
pounds to the square inch, q main of less
than one-fourth of the weight and cost
would answer.
Perhaps the committee may here wish to
know what / am at. =
10 few words, it is that the new pump
should be placed on one of the city wharVes
nearest the stand pipe, that in this way the
portion of large heavy main need be only a
few hundred feet In length instead Of twelve
thousand, causing the saving in the main
alone of three-fourths the expense, and also
the loss from leakage, which must be con-
siderable. And here, l suspect, has been
the secret Of the scant supply from the
present pump-leaksge so that the requisite
quantity of water was never put into the re-
serVoir. But VeT6. sat sap could say more,
but perhaps you say, what can country
pumpkin tell us, who can get the advice Of
experts who are trained to specialities.
Have you ever thought you may have a
feather in your eyes which the eXp II does
not think 1t his business to blow Az -
Respectfully, Nous VrNBONs.
NOTE We would state for the iaforma-
ton Of our correspondent that there was an
error In the account published giving the
height OF the stand pipe or tower. The pipe
Is to be 200 feet high instead Of 10O.-ED.

METROPOLITAN HAIL TO BE
SOLD.
The sold uets'' Resolve TO Disband
and Sell theIr Property.

For some months past the members OF the
Metropolitan Benevolent Association have
been considering the question Of disposing Of
their property, the Metropolitan Hall build
ing, and disbanding, and the question which
had been brought forward at the last quar-
terly meeting was discussed last night. 1t
was unanimously resolved to sell all the pro-
derty of the association. and a committee
composed of Messrs. ]. H. Estill, Marina
duke Hamilton, Robert H. Lewis,
John A. Feuger and Osceola Butler, were
appointed for that purpose. This associ a
ton is the successor of the Metropolitan
Steam Fire Engine Company, an organiza-
ton well known for its efficiency In the
DAYS of the old Savannah Fire Department,
and which retired from the service when
the present department was formed.
Shortly after this event the company dis
posed Of its steam engine and other
apparatus, and changed its name
benevolent society. AS stated before, the
question of disbanding has been agitated
for some time by number of its members,
who maintained that the Metropolitan"
had no particular object for perpetuating
the society, while others took the ground
that 1t should be Kept up Tor "old lang
sYne." Recently, however, the sentimental
party yielded, and the result was that last
night they unanimously resolved to disband.
The society owns the Metropolitan Hall, built
by the old fire company as an engine house,
which has an elegant and popular assembly
room above and two stores on Whitaker
street, and large room on President street,
where formerly the apparatus and horses
were kept. 1t is one of the most eligible
pieces OF property in the city, and will
doubtless realize q handsome sum.

RICE FIELD STRIKERS.
The situation serene-A Society Or
ganIzed 20 hold Out Two Weeks.

The news from the rice plantations on the
South Carolina side Of the Savannah river
yesterday was Of pacific character, the ex-
element consequent upon the strike Of the
pine land hands having in a measure sbsted.
Our special dispatches from Vaudeville
and Beaufort, which VIII be found else
where, give accounts OF the proceedings
attendant upon the examinations Of the
negroes who we're arrested for assaulting
and beating the negroes on Mr.. Barnwelps
plantation, and OF the situation yesterday.
We further learn that a meeting Of the
Discontinued element was to have been held
last night near LEWIS Cross Roads, when
regular society was TO be organized.
to be composed Of all the hands
who were in a position to indulge
themselves with two weeks IDLE
ness; that is, who were able TO refuse
work for fortnight. Those who were will
ing to Join them, and who did not feel able
70 reliuQuish work for the period stated,
would be taken 10, and the society would
provide for them. The opinion was preVa-
lent among the strikers that II they could
effect a complete cessation of work for two
weeks on all the plantations they would be
e. abled to force the planters to comply
with their demands for two dollars
an acre. The negroes known as the river
hands, however. refused to 90 into this ar
rangement, and are continuing work. The
arrest aud punishment Of the riOtOus
strikers for assaulJing the working negroes
has had a sAlutsTY effect, and it is not
thought there will be any further disturb
ance. The object Of the strikers now is TO
induce all hands to quit work,
with the view Of forcing the planters
to terms, but they will not use
any violent measures. 1t is stated that all
negroes becoming members of the society
will be required to sign an agreement to
a good whipping, without recourse to law,
should they afterwards return to work for
less sum than that demanded by the society.
With favorable weather, however, the
planters will be enabled 10 make out, and
the strikers, whose demands are considered
unreasonable, will fail Ia their movement.

Georgia WIN be at Yorktown.

AS the press seems to be industriously
circulating the report that Georgia is not to
be represented at the Yorktown Centennial,
the resolutions offered by Hon. Fleming G..
DuBignon, Of Baldwin, and unanimously
adopted by the Hause and concurred in by
the Senate, were quite appropriate. 1t is
true that the General Assembly did not feel
authorized to appropriate money for State
representation, but the venerable Chatham
Artillery and other corps of Savannah were
prompt to act in the matter, and win be
illuslriOus representatives of Georgia on
the historic field of Yorktown. Other
States may have larger representations
present, but We dare to predict that no
State will be represented by finer body OF
men or q more venerable and hOuOred corps
than the Chatham Artillery. No Georgian
need hang his head in shame or fear that
his grand old STATE will not maintain her
dignity and her military pride at York

Big Swallow,

Under the caption Of "Cole Swallowing
the Centrap we find the following para
graph in the Atlanta P0st-APpcal Of ycster-
day:
"We hear It on what appears good au-
thoritY that King Cole has obtained control
OF the Central Railroad, and will at once
take possession. The terms have not yet
been made known. With the Central in his
possession and the Rome road built, King
Cole is commander Of this situation, and
has in control a most gigantic system of
railroads. The problem Of his reaching the
sea is solved, and Savannah will go into a
state of rejoicing"
Our contemporary has evidently made a
mistake, as it was understood when Colonel
Cole obtained his charter that arrangements
would be effected for his Savannah connec-
tion over the line of the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway.

Lewis Gordon, the colored trooper who
committed an assault upon Edward Greg
DRY some time since and very severely cut
him, was yesterday before Magistrate Rus
sci, Jr., to undergo a preliminary ex-
animation. The particulars of this
case have already been published,
and were in the main eorroborated
by the testimony elected. Gordon attacked
Gregory on the street, who fed and was
pursued, and being overtaken in a yard on
Tstnau street, was seized by Gordon and
cut with knife ia several places. After
hearing the evidence, the Magistrate de-
cided to turn the prisoner over for trial at
Superior Court under bond of 81, 600, in de-
fault of which he was committed to jail.
