WORK ON TIE SOUTH BOUND.

Rains Interfering With the Construc.
ton of the New Road.
The recent rains have very much re-
tarded the construction of the South Bound
railway, the ground being SO muddy that
the progress of grading has been quite slow.
In fact the general rains which have pre-
vailed in this section during the greater
part of this month have been quite dis
couraging to the contractors along the line
OF road.
In an interview with a MORNING NEWS
reporter last night, a gentleman connected
with the South Bound said that IL Is ex-
pected that more favorable weather in Oc-
tober, will enable the contractors to push
the work of construction more continu-
ously and with greater vim than they have
been able to do during the month of Sep
TENDER.
1t is estimated that nearly one-half of
the grading has been completed between
the junction of the South Bound with the
Central railroad and the Savannah river
at the bridge site. This, of course. does
not mean that the complete grading is
continuous, but that about one-half the
work of the grading has been completed on
each residency.
A switch has been put In at the point of
junction with the Central and a few bars of
IGl1S nhNo O5cn On Utlo L16lu LING. MI
teen or sixteen carloads Of his rails have
been received and will be disx ibuted from
this end of the line this week and with
favorable weather track-laying will be
resumed.
Not only have the rains materially inter-
fered with the progress of construction on
the South Bound, but sub-contraotors have
been no lite Embarrassed by the scarcity of
labor. None of them have been able TO
secure as many hands as they have desired ::
and this has tended to prevent the work
from progressing as rapidly as had been an
ticipated.
Locating Engineer Thorpe, with an en-
gineering corps, Is at Columbia, g. c., try
ing the lines, but 1t Is not known whether it
will be Immediately located or not.
1t is understood that right of way is being
cut on the South Carolina side of the Sa-
vannah river. The foundation for the
bridge over the Savannah river has begun,
and with q cessation of rains the work will
progress much more favorably than 1t has
during the past two or three weeks.

INEFFICIENT DRAINAGE.

Pools of Water in the Southern Hxten-
sion and on West Broad Street.
There is much complaint because of the
pond at Burroughs and First streets. 1t is
older than the rains, and is a standing
menace to tho health of that section. The
green enamel which covers the unsanitary
water after a days hot sun testers with
disease germs, and 1t does not have about it
the odor of ottor OF roses. Children, who
do not realize the danger of its malaria
breeding influences, wade in its stagnated
waters and float their tiny ships on it's
poison surface every day.
Inquiries multiply as TO what has become
OF the dry culture committee of council, as
for weeks this nuisance has been tolerated,
il indeed, it has been noted by the commit
tee. few cart loads OF dirt would level
the place SO that the storm water would be
distributed and sink into the ground.
Said an observing citizen yesterday, "The
condition of West Broad street, south Of
Stone street, for the last two weeks ought
TO satisfy the city council that Alderman
Harmon is right in urging that this street
should be paved, and paved at once. 1t is
full Of water. and had hot weather sue
ceeded the rains the unsauitary effect on
the health of the people would have been
more noticeable than it is. Sickness has to
some extent resulted from the inefficient
drainage of that street.
"Besides the street ought to be paved. Is
has more retail stores on it than any other
street in the city except Broughton. The
street railway track is above the grade of
the street, and it is a common occurrence for
vehicles to lose a wheel in crossing it, A
truck dropped wheel in crossing the track
Saturday night. There are some places
where not only the street railway track,
but even the crossties are above the grade
of the street. No other city in the country
would tolerate such a condition of affairs.
IL is impossible to get across the track in
some places with the fire engines. If the
council thinks it cannot afford 70 pave the
street with graywacke it ought at least to
she'll it, and compel the street railway COM
pany to conform its track to an established
grade of the street,

THE CITY JUDGRsHIP.

The Bar Divided Between Judge
Harden and A. H. Macdoneu.
The question as to who will be elected
United States senator in Georgia is not dis
cussed in Savannah with as much interest,
nor with such frequency, as the question
who will be appointed judge of the city
court by the new governor
There appears to be but two candidates
mentioned In connection with the Judge
ship. Hon. William D. Harden, who
has held the position for the last
twelve years, and A. II. Macdonell.
The friends of neither have been idle, aud
it is quite safe to say that every MEMBER of
the bar of this city has signed petition for
the reappointmeut of Judge Harden or for
the appointment of Mr.. Macdonald 1t is
understood that the bar is about equally
divided between the two candidates. 1t is
said that Judge Harden has the indorse-
ments of Messrs Lawtou & Cunningham,
the Central railway attorneys, Messrs.
Chisholm, Erwin & duBignon,
attorneys for the Plant system, Charles N.
West aud Others less prominent at the bar,
while Mr.. Macdonell, it is claimed, has the
Inducements of Messrs. Denmark, Adams
a. Adams, Messrs. Garrsrd 81 Medrim,
Hon. Rufus f. Lester, r. K. Richards, and
many of the younger members of the bar.
The friends of Mr.. Macdonell claim that
there is a very close and friendly relation
ship existing between Col Northen and Mr..
Macdonell, and that the latter will be the
successful candidate The friends of both
candidates will supplement their petitions
In several instances by personal appeals to
the new governor as soon as he has been
installed in Office

and Firemen-Rain and Cold Weather
Predicted for Today.
A cool wave is moving southwark aud is
billed to arrive in Savannah By o'clock
this morning, by which time it is expected
the thermometer will have dropped to So or
lower. The cool wave prevailed over the
northern states, the lower Mississippi valley
and the greater portion of the south yester-
day, and temperatures were generally lower
throughout the country.
DAKOTA TO BLAME FOR IT.
The cool wave originated in the Dakotas
Saturday morning and has been spreading
eastward and southwark since then. Its
effect was very perceptible in the country
over which it prevailed yesterday.
The maximum temperature at Nashville
was 56e and at Charlotte, n. c., and Me-
ridian, Miss, $50. The temperature was
500 at o'clock last night at Meridian.
The reports received by the signal OBJ
server at Savannah last night slowed the
temperature to be In the flfties in the New
England, Middle and western states and the
Mississippi aud OHIO valleys at So'clock last
night, but somewhat warmer On the South
Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
The highest temperature at Savannah
yesterday was 79', at Atlanta 20. Augusta
To, Pensacola 70' and Mobile So.
The average Of highest temperature In
the Memphis district yesterday was 60,
several degrees lower than the average Of
any other district. The next lowest district
was the Little Rock, with 64a. The Viii
mington and Vicksburg districts reported
$50 average, and the Atlanta and Mont
gomery districts TOO The average of the
Savannah district was 80.
''Low AREAS" GETTING MoEoroNoUs
There is slight low area
pressure prevailing over Southern
Georgia aud Florida, which will
have the effect Of slightly decreasing the
force Of the cold wave, and will also cause
rain.
The cold weather will last about forty
eight hours at least, and heavier clothing
Will be very comfortable to-day.
The maximum temperature at Savannah
yesterday was 7eS, and the rainfall was Is

The day was wet, windy, dreary and
unpleasant. Late In the afternoon the wind |
became very strong, and continued 80 up to |
o'clock this morning.

BAD OUTLOOK FOR COTTON.
Rains VIII Make Five-eighths of TIT
Crop Low Grade Cottons.

Rains VIII Make Five eighths of the
Crop Low Grade Cottons.
Cotton is in bad way, and unfavorable
weather has continued through the week all
over the cotton belt. Rain has fallen in all
the districts of the south, and in the South
Atlantic states the precipitation has been
very great. In fact, in the territory ada
cent to Savannah 1t has been a regular
deluge.
A gentleman Just in from trip over the
Savannah, Americas and Montgomery
railroad says that cotton is in deplorable
condition A great deal of it has been
beaten out on the ground and that in the
bolls is rotting, while with some of it the
seed can be seen sproutlng.
The gentleman says that the highways
are In a very bad state from the overflow
of water that Is going over them. Ia some
places he says the water reached as high as
the buggy box of his vehicle. He reports
that the streams are much swollen.
The continuous rains have prevented cot
ton picking, and a great deal of matured
cotton has been lost by being beaten out on
the ground, so that future receipts will
consist largely Of storm beaten, dirty aud
discolored cotton.
The wet condition of the roads has rem
dered them almost impossible and has pre-
vented good deal of cotton in the gins from
being shipped to market.
The unfavorable advices from the interior
are very general, and there is apparently no
exaggeration in the reports which, for the
previous week, was at first thought to be
inspired by feelings of dependency, but
the rains still continue to fall, and while
the prospects were then for very short
picking season, it is increased rather than
leSsened at this writing.
1t is now estimated that fully flve-eighths
of the entire crop will be of low grade cot

doing business in Savannah live along the
