Ice Cream in Half a Minute.

Ice cream free for the ladies and gentle
men at Heidt's. The milk is poured in at
one end of new ice cream freezer, and in
less than half a minute comes out frozen at
the other end. 1t is a curiosity, and a new
departure in ice cream manufacture, and
Heidi. with his usual enterprise, has taken
advantage of it.
A MORNING NEWS reporter dropped in at
Heidt's yesterday afternoon when the
thermometer registered 929, to fnd the
simple little machine grinding out the frozen
and gentlemen could hardly believe what
they saw, and the wonder did not cease
when they sampled dish OF the excellent
ice cream.
The liquid freezer" is the recent inven-
ton Of a gentleman Of Gainesville, Ca, and
patented in April. 1t is so simple that the
wonder grows why it wasn't invented long
ago. 1t is a grindstone, SO to speak. A
cylinder, shaped like grindstone, is filled
with ice and salt. The cylinder is then
slowly revolved, and passing through a
trough of milk at the bottom the milk
freezes on the surface of the revolving
cylinder, and is scraped off by knife and
falls into a spout which delivers it to the
plate. Every revolution of the cylinder
means ice cream, compactly frozen and
without the granny body of cream frozen in
the cid way. Four pounds Of ice will make
ice cream for an hour. 1t will revolutionize
ice cream manufacture, and everybody
ought to drop in and see it work, besides
getting plate of ice cream free.

Alderman Harmon's Paving Plan
Tabled by the Council.
A resolution by Alderman Harmon,
authorizing the street and lane committee
to pave West Broad street with granite
blocks, from Stone street to Henry street,
a width of forty feet, developed some oppo-
sition in the city council yesterday after
noon, and the resolution was laid on the
table until the next meeting.
Alderman Bailey tried to get substitute
adopted authorizing the committee to pur-
chase the blocks at once. They can now be
bought for $43 per thousand, or 1913 less
per thousand than the same kind of paving
material for jefferson street cost. The sub
stitute was also laid on the table.
The opposition came from Alderman
Myers. He is opposed to paving now.
Alderman Harmon said they could never
get the blocks cheaper. They cannot be
moved by the Central during the cotton
season, but there would be no trouble to get
them now, and West Broad street can be
paved for $42 000 The heavy saud retards
the fire department and the general traffic
Alderman Myers replied that taxes are
already too high, and he favored keeping a
surplus, so that they will be nghtened next
year. He argued that the city will want all
the money available for water improve
ments decided upon.
Aldermen Harmon and Bailey commended
that it would not do to suspend paving i'm
provements and direct all the funds to the
water department.
Alderman Harmon said after the meeting
that he will bring his resolution up at the
next meeting.
Alderman Falligant said that everything
ought not to go to the water department;
the other departments we're as much en-
titled to a share of the city's funds as the
water committee.

CONDITION OF THE D1rCHEs.
Col. Winn's Report to the Council on
Dry Culture Lands

Col. Winn's Report to the Council on
Dry Culture Lands.
At recent meeting of the city council
there was a heated discussion between
Alderman Faligant Of the drainage COM
mittee and Mayor Schwarz as to the sani-
tary condition of Hutchinson's island, the
outcome of which was that City Engineer
Winn was requested to report the condition
of the lands under dry culture, and this
report was submitted at yesterdays meet
ing and was received as information.
In brief Col. Winn reports that the
bitches on the Twlckenham plantation are
clean, and in many places deepened and in
good order. Repairs are in progress on the
trunks of Jones and Lamar canals. Bilbo
and Perry Lane canals have been cleaned
out, and the bitches east, southeast and
southwest of the city have been cleaned
out, and the city forces are going over them
for the fourth time. The same is said of
the bitches on the Springfield plantation.
On Hutchinson's Island the engineer re-
ports the bitches on the Warning lands over
grown and in some places holding water,
but they are being cleaned out. The tim
Der basin near Kinsey's mill is overgrown
with aquatic growth, but does not impede
the flow of water.
On that part of the island under lease to
Mr.. Massey Col. Winn found most of the
bitches overgrown with aquatic vegetation.
but with very few exceptions the bitches
were dry. Some water was found in the
face ditch at the place where the dam
broke in 1881, and at the pond near Back
river. In the face bitches Mr.. Massey has
had to admit water for his stock.
Col Wilma excuses himself from making
formal report to the chairman of the
committee on drainage on the care of the
bitches under Mn Massey's charge as q
superfluous work, as the mayor, the chair
man of the committee on drainage and the
health officer. having inspected the island,
and the mayor and chairman of the drain
age committee having had a conference
with Mr.. Massey on the subject, the chair

Judge Speer Refuses to Release Hall
to Prepare for His Trial.
Judge Speer has declined to grant Luther
A. Hall ten days to prepare for his trial,
which takes place July Z. The application
for the ten days release was made by the
petitioners attorneys before Judge Speer In
Macon Tuesday, and was refused. As this
favor had been granted him to prepare for
his former trial, it was expected that it
would be granted for this one. Judge
Speer was not disposed, however, to grant
the privilege.
Al MORNING NEWS reporter saw Mr.
Hall in the jail yesterday. He said he did
not understand why Judge Speer should not
grant him the ten days time as he did in the
former case. 1t is great inconvenience to
him, he says, and makes great deal of
writing and telegraphing necessary. How
ever, he will be able to prerare his case in
time, aud, he says, will meet his accusers
with bold front. He is anxious for an
early trial He said he had no fears of the
result, as he is confident of his ability prove
his innocence.
