DIR. sALLleAnr AT HENDY's HALL
He Says Some Hard Things About the
CITY Officials.

City Officials.
About seventy>five persons were present
last night at Hendy's ball to listen to an
other spicy and interesting speech by DIR.
Falfgant on the msyoralty question. The
audience seemed to enter into the spirit Of
the meeting, and after few anecdotes they
were with the doctor.
DR.. Falligant first spoke OF the taxation
Of the city and paid his respects to those In
charge. He asked why it was that instead
Of issuing bonds for q complete water works
and allowing the revenue TO pay the interest
that the revenue was used for other purposes.
He said the present taxation was 90 ex-
orbitant that It forced buEiness men to
either keep stocks that were so small that it
would starve them to do business on, or to
give In false returns He took up the drain
age question and said that at the meeting OF
the city physicians, held last Monday /,
the majority Of the cases OF fever reported
were caused by insufficient drainage he
also said that one-fourth OF the deaths az
Savannah were from the same cause.
DR.. Falligsnt paid beautiful tribute TO
the life Of the late ex-Judge A Pratt
Adams.
The doctor then jumped on the city
officers IN general He asked why Is was
that the people are taxed TO maintain the
center parks, and that children IL years old
can play. but IL the taxpayers children
happen 20 be I3 years old they cannot He
said the board had Issued an order that
swill should not be thrown in the yards,
and that it could not be thrown in the
streets, and as there is no proper drainage
system he suggested that the only thing
left would be 70 blow bubbles with it. He
ssid the last report of the mayor was not
correct, that thousands of dollars worth Of
bills, which had been passed aud were cor-
rect, had noe been entered but would be left
for the incoming board.
The doctor said that the drainage was the
most important question before the people,
and on that issue be was making his race.

Turpentine Bands Going Home to
Spend Christmas.
The South Bound railroad ran out a
special train TO Goldsboro, N. c., last night
with 100 turpentine hands en- route to spend
Christmas at home in North Carolina. Be-
sides this number about sixty turpentine
hands were sent up on the regular day pas
senger.
From the reports OF the railroad men
there will only be few hundred turpen-
tine hands that will leave the state TO spend
Christmas in North Carolina this year.
The season has not been an especially proft~
able one with the turpentine operators this
year and the labor has suffered accordingly.
Usually there are several thousand turpen-
tine hands who return to North Carolina to
spend Christmas and the railroads have a
regular bonanza hauling them TO and fro.

Humble Origin of Precious Stones.

1t is singular fact that the most
precious gems are composed of the
most common substances. The dia-
mond is the purest form of carbon
and is identical in compo silion with
ordinary charcoal without the impuri-
ties of the latter. The ruby, on the
other hand, is nearly pure alumina, a
substance found in profusion in every
clay bank. The sciedtiiic name for
crystalizcd alumina is corundum, and
the gems comprehended under this
designation are sometimes more valu-
able than diamonds of the same
weight. The ruby, the sapphire, the
oriental emerald, the oriental topaz.
the oriental amethyst, the oriental
aqua marine, the oriental chrysolite
the hyacinth and other precious stones
are all alumina, the varieties of color
being caused by inappreciable quani-
ties of metallic oxides st. Louis
