Large Beds oft Believed 20 Exist in
Chatham County.


i: may be possible for Savannah 20 get
paving material for her streets right here
in Chatham county instead Of sending TO
North Georgia for ebert, or 10 Stone
Mountain for Belgian block, or to Balti-
more for shells,ior TO Trinidad for as
phalt.
A gentleman who takes quite an inter
est III paving materials for the city
streets believes that there exists in
Chatham county a large bed of gravel
which could be obtained for paving pur-
poses at half the cost Of any other mate
rial, and could be put down much more
cheaply than either ebert or shells, the
two cheapest paving materials obtained
so far.
1t was reported some time ago that
Major Biandford had discovered a bed of
gravel within a few miles Of the city
While conducting the excavations upon
the Dundee canal 1t was suggested that
II this gravel exists in sufficient quanti-
ties it could be mined by con-
Wet labor, which could be secured from
the county and transported to the city at
a very small cost. Being a very easy ma
terlal to handle, the cost Of applying it to
the streets would be very small. In this
way Savannah could pave her streets
very cheaply and twice as rapidly as here
tOfore.
Major Blandford was asked yesterday
about the matter He said it is true
that several months ago, while ex-
cavating upon the Dundee canal
on Brampton plantation several
miles from the city, he discovered
a bed Of gravel Not having the idea Of
paving in mind, he did not attempt to in
vestigate the extent of it. 1t was very
fine gravel, however, Major Blandford
said, and would make splendid paving.
The bed lay few feet below the surface,
and there appeared to be considerable
amount of it.
Major Blandford says few pavings in
the neighborhood would quickly de-
termine the extent of the bed, and whether
there is a sufficient qauntity of it to
make it worth while to uncover
1t for paving purposes. If the gravel
should be found to exist in any quantity
tramroad couldibe built for transporting it
to the city at small cost, Major Blandford
said. 1t might pay to investigate the re-
ported grvel bed near the city. If the
gravel exists in any quantity it would
prove of immense advantage to the city
IN paving the streets and TO the county in
paving the roads. 1t would practically
solve the question of good roads in
Chatham county.

THE SEASON OPENED.
Barlow Bros. Minstrels Before
Crowded Theater

Barlow Bros. MinstreIs Before a
Crowded Theater.
Barlow Bros minstrels opened the
season at the theater last night with a
crowded house. Every seat was taken
when the curtain was rung up, and a
number of people were left standing The
audience was thoroughly pleased with
the performance.
The songs were new and well sung, and
the specialties were good without excep-
ton. The topical song, Dead on the
Town" by Bob Morrisey, of course, took,
and Howard Powers 1.-TWO Little Girls
in Blue" was very good.
Master Percy Williams, the 11-year-old
boy soprano, received a great deal of APP
plause, which was we'll merited.
James and Billy Barlow got off some
jokes that were really new, intermingled
with the old stagers. Scofeld, the Jug
gler with knives, balls, lamps and every
thing else handy, is one of the best inihis
line ever seen here and interested the
house for half an hour. Scott, the HUI
man frog, appeared to be absolutely bone
less and some of his contortiOns were
wonderful. There was some very good
banjo and violin playing and the perform
ance closed with a good acrobatic exhibit
tion by the Kennard brothers. Everybody
went away satisfied that they got their
moneys worth.
Manager JOhnson's improvements in
the theatre were noticed and compli-
mented. The walls have been retouched
and new mating laid upon the floor, be-
sides other improvements for the comfort
and convenience of the theater's patrons.
