rhe Us. and ABUSE Of whiskey.

This subject could be dwelt upon to a
considerable length, and yet much
would remain untold, but all agree that
the use, the proper use OF pure rye
whiskey Is an absolute necessity, especi-
ally SO now, when nature insists upon
being stimulated. all regular physics
ans prescribe rye whiskey, and Justly
claim that Klein's Silver Ago and Du-
ouesne Whistles are most reliable.
They do this not only because they have
tried them but because the leading hos
pitfalls use them-find them the best
stimulants in the world. Silver Age
sells for $1.50 and Duquesne for Sl.25
por full quart. For sale by all dealers
and druggists. Ask for them or send to

MUsGRovR CREEKS WATERSHED.
Engineer Wiun's Plan for Its Drainage
into the Little Ogeechee.

Engineer Wirn's Plan for Its Drainage
into the Little Ogeechee.
The drainage committee Of the city coun-
Gil and the drainage committee of the
county commissioners met in conference
yesterday at the city exchange to consider
the drainage Of the watershed Of Musgrove
creek.
Alderman Carson submitted a report
from City Engineer WinD stating that he
had had a survey made from the 3-mile post
to the Emile post on the Savannah, Florida
and w estern railway which demonstrated
the feasibility Of turning considerable Of
the water to the Little Ogeechee river by
the construction OF artificial outlets.
The plan submitted by Engineer VIM
calculates on turning to the Little Ogeechee
one fourth of the water from the Lamar
swamp, and he holds that If his ideas are
followed the greatest volume Of water in
the MusgroYe creek watershed can be turned
back from the city at comparatively
small cost.
Engineer VIM admitted Engineer Bland
ford's claim that the natural outlet of the
water is to Musgrove creek and thence to
the Savannah river, but argued that, for
the sakesof health, il is better TO turn all
that eau be turned to the Little Ogeechee.
A great advantage in doing this, Engineer
VIM claimed, 10 tne tacb Cuat tue LlVtle
Ogeeohee is a stream not affected by
freshehs. but works steadily with the
ocean tides which would insure the carry
ing Off of the water turned into 1t from the
watershed. On the other had the Savan-
nah is a stream greatly Affected by freshets
and during the prevalence Of one would be
apt to bank the water into the
swamps. In support OF this he cited the
fact that during recent freshet, although
the water rose and fell in the river, the
movements of the tides was so interfered
with that there was really no upward flow.
A map of the survey was submitted and
Engineer Blandford, who was present, adj
mitted that the proposition Of Engineer
VIM is feasible. It impressed both Com
missioners Read and Smart favorably and
they said they would recommend its adop-
ton as soon as it could be carried into eff
feet. The commissioners stated that they
had no appropriation for the work, but
would go ahead with it II the grand jury
will recommend it. In view of this state of
affairs Alderman Carson said it Is likely
that the matter will he brought before the
next meeSing Of the grand jury by the city's

CENTRAL RAILROAD CHANGES.

L. V. Kennerly, formerly travelling auditor

Mr.. Kennerly is very highly spoken of by
his associates among the railroad employees
and there is general rejoicing at his good
fortune.
General Passenger Agent s. II. Hard
wick of the Central railroad returned to
the city yesterday from a business trip.
Mr.. Hardwick has added to his reputation
as "hustler" in the passenger business
since his stay In Savannah, and has many
friends here who would be glad to see him
remain with the road.
Numerous changes among Central
officials and employees are predicted after
May 10, but there does not appear to be any
special foundation for the belief except the
suppositlOn that the new management will
then begin to manifest its policy. 1t is not
believed here that Mr.. Corners visit to New
York has any connection with any move>
ment to secure control of the stock held by
the Central Trust Company. The stock is
positively debarred from voting at present.
and it must be shown to the court that it is
In the hands of legal holders before it can
