The Work on the Ogeechee Road
What the County is Doing.
Aliens convict gang, better known as
gang No. 2, is dong some good work on the
Ogeechee road, the repairs on which had
been completed as far south as the four
mile post yesterday afterdoon,
A MORNING News reporter drove over
the road yesterday with County Engineer
Thomas, and the great Improvement is
manifest. During the wet spell, when the
convicts could not be worked on the canals.
they were put at work grading on the
Ogeechee road, preparatory to putting on
it two-inch layer of clay, which will be
done as soon as the commits
sioners purchase the teams which
was decided upon at recent meeting. The
clay is to be taken from the many clay
knobs in the road south of the Minis canal
and it makes an excellent surface dressing.
Deep bitches have been dug as the grading
progresses, which are nicely draining
abuUting lands along the road. 1t is con-
templated to put the road in good repair to
the Little Ogeechee, three miles south Of
where Aliens gang is now at work.
Schumann's gang is at work grading and
repairing the W aters road.
Aliens gang will begin work about the
middle of the week on the Baystreet extern
sion, that is, on that part of the extension
west Of the water works road, which is the
portion of the road the county commission
ers have agreed to build. Mr.. Thomas
thinks that the work can be completed
within two months, and especially so If the
teams are provided which the commissions
ers have authorized to be purchased to aid
in road work.
Commissioner Read, of the road COM
mittee, is in earnest In bettering the
road system of the county, and in adj
dition to the construction OF the Waters
road, four miles in length, and Estll
avenue, one mile long, has pushed the re-
pairs and grading on the Augusta and
Ogeechee roads, putting in new culverts
and bridges where needed, deepening the
bitches, and in the work of road improve
ment have excavated some 40, 900 cubic
yards of earth. Tnis has been in addition
to the extensive system of drainage of the
county, which has done SO much for TIM
city and county sanitation. With tn,
| teams soon to be provided for the depart
ment OF road service much greater progress
in road building will be made.

BLACKsHEAR's ABSENTEE.
z. 2. Byrd Tells What He Knows
About Editor Lee.

ABOUT Editor Lee
E. T. Byrd, the Blackshear merchant on
whom Editor Lee Of the Blackshear Indec
drew 50 many bogus checks, gave MORN
ING News reporter last night some addi-
tional information concerning the missing
mans maneuvers.
The forged checks on which Lee drew
money are as follows: T. l. Acosta S63 70,
F. c. Owens Of Waycross S34, J. w. -Strick-
land $40, and Lowell &c baltimore Sl2 IS.
In addition to these Mr.. Byrd said that
Lee borrowed $40 from Mr.. Acosta ami Sl9
from Mr. Strickland. On Saturday night,
before leaving there, Mr.. Byrd said that
Lee went TO the store of Lightsey, Hyer a.
Co, and got two pairs Of Sl3 p1ntal0ons.
He said thathe would return them Monday
If they did not fit
Mr.. Byrd was asked how Lee managed
60 get hold of his check, and he replied that
some time ago he sold his stock of goods to
firm whish moved the goods to another
place. In the meaatiIne Mr. Byrd went TO
Florida, leaving his books, including check
book, on one of the shelves in the vacant
store. He requested his clerk to watch the
store and see that everything went on all
right Mr.. Byrd said that his clerk and
Lee were on friendly terms and would
occasionally take melons, canned goods etc.,
He presumes that Lee got hold of the
check on one OF these occasions He said
that he had no use for the check book, as
he had closed his account with the Savan-
nah Bank and Trust Company two months
before he sold out.
Mr.. Byrd said that Lee came to Georgia
from Pennsylvania and located for
awhile in Atlanta, where he was
in the magic lantern business.
be left Atlanta and went to Waycross. He
was not in business at Waycross In Feb
ruary he went to Blackshear and bought
the plant of the Blackshear NeiOs and Sig
nal from Mrs. A. A. Fleetwood. He made
the purchase through Capt. E. d.
Henry, of Henry q Strickland, for
$500. Lee changed the name of
the paper to the Itdee. He
appeared to be making money and a success
of the enterprise until recently, when he
began to neglect his business. He paid cash
for the paper and purchased a 800 job
press, paying part cash for it.
Mr.. Byrd thinks that Lee had O clear
title to the paper, and if so, it can be dis
posed OF for enough to pay off the debt easily.
Mr.. Byrd says that So far as he knows
nobody in Blacks 1ear has heard of the
missing mans whereabouts.

The Caterpillar at Work on the Cot
ton but No Serious Damage Yet.
Advices from the growing cotton crop
from almost all sections adjacent to Sayan-
nah are encouraging. The cotton, as a
rule, is still in fine condition. The reports
of the caterpillar are moro frequent,
but as yet there is very little
damage done, and the planters are fighting
the pest with Paris green. 1t is said, how
ever, that the third generation of the worm
is the most to be feared, and it Will make
its appearance about the last of September.
OF course it cannot hurt the crop or
that which has broken in
the bols, but the greatest
damage will be the devouring of the leaves,
stopping the growth of the plant and pre-
venting the unopen balls fronl maturing.
The returns from the sea island crop in
Florida show that the plant is very much
behind, and reports from around Live Oak,
Lake City and the western section of the
state show that the caterpillar is
very active, but no serious damage
has yet been reported, and it is not likely
that the worm will be allowed to make
much headway.
The picking of the upland crop will soon
be general. Already the receipts are be-
ginning to look like September. Yester-
days receipts were 845 bales, all new cotton.
Reports from all other crops are good.
The rice crop is reported in excellent con-

THE TAX ON FARMERS.
The Council Modifies It's Action-Whet
the Mayor Says.


The action of the council Wednesday
night in abolishing the tax on farmers who
sell their produce in and around the mar
ket, has been reconsidered and modified so
at to exempt only those farmers who sell
their produce in st. Julian street, west of
market square. The council committee has
decided that when farmers drive their
wagons inside of the square they are liable
TO tax made discretionary with the market
clerk.
The market clerk has heretofore been
collecting tax from farmers all along st.
Julian street as far west as Franklin
square, but that will be discontinued from
now on. While this IS an advantage IN
some respects, the market square mer-
chants, who are with the farmers in secur-
ing every reduction and getting every pro-
tectlon possible from the city, believe that
the tax on farmers should be entirely re-
moved, whether the farmer sells in st.
Julian street, or whether he goes up
to the market and disposes Of his produce.
They claim that he is the producer, and
bringing his produce to market he should
be allowed to dispose of it free. They claim
for the farmers that the tax imposed by the
city is, in nearly every case, a double tax,
and in many instances quadruple tax.
The farmer is taxed, and perhaps he sells
W a udAt-uOZou UuCkSJoTS WHO are eaCu
taxed to sell. The city has collected tax
from the producer and also tax from each
huckster who buys portion of the produce
and re-sells it,
Mayor Schwarz said last night that a
considerable portion of the tax upon the
farmers has been removed. He said that
he intends to Eee that no huckster is per
mitted to sell on the street during market
hours. They must get inside the market
On the west side of the market, where the
ordinary says the farmers carts must be, are
strung out in line any number Of hucksters
blocking up the street so that pers ms who
are disposed to trade with tue tanners can
not get to their carts without great diff
Guilty.
Mayor Schwarz said that be is the farm
ers friend, and he intends, as far as possible
and as far as consistent to provide for them
He said that the thing which is most needed
here is protection for the farmer. Some
means OF getting HIM out of the hands of
the depredators Is necessary, and he added
that the hucksters' robbery of the farmers
must be stopped. This can be accomplished
only by placing a sufficient number of
policemen on duty around their wagons.
The police force the mayor said, is not
large enough to properly enforce the law
as it should be enforced and he is in
favor of a larger force. There are only
about fifty-seven available men on the
force now, and not half of these are on
duty at time. The farmers may expect
better protection from the city than they
have had heretofore. The mayor ard
aldermen are interesting themselves in their
behalf, ana market square merchants are
on their side
