DR.. George H. Stone, chairman of the

the western end of the green for several
weeks, will be removed and all the grass
plats, with the exception of the two or

depth Of several inches in order to give

leYel above the pavement, the sidewalks
at that point now being below the level.
An inspection of the asphalt pavement
was made yesterday by the commissioner
Of public works. The street sprinklers
were used and the pavement was flooded
on both sides. After sufficient time had
been allowed for the water to run off,
tour of the street was made A good
many small dishes We're found and
also several places where the water failed
TO run off on account Of insufficient grade.
A note was made Of each OF these places.
Mr. Willink declined last night to discuss
the results Of his inspection until his re-
port upon the pavement is placed In the
hands OF the mayor, which will be within
the next day or two. He would not say
whether he would recommend the accept
ance Of the pavement as IL stands The ac-
ceptance, however. rests with council.

w. o. CHARLTON's SUCCESSOR.
Ed ID. Maxim Appointed Engineer at
the Water Works.

The vacancy in the force of engineers
at the water works caused by the resg-
nation of w. 0. Charlton was filled yes
terday by the water commission by the
appointment of Ed d. Maxim.
There were several applicants for the
position and the commissioners spent
some time in considering the applications
before making the selection.
Mr.. Maxim presented the strongest kind
of Endorsements from prominent citizens
from both sides of the last political bat
tie. These Endorsements, together with
the fact that the commissioners were per-
sonally aware of his reputation as a COM
petent engineer, secured him his appoint
ment.
MIR. Maxim Is very well known in Sa-
vannah, having lived here practically all
his life. He has run as an engineer on
the Savannah, Florida and Western rail-
way for number of years. He will have
the congratulations of a host of friends
on his good fortune.

chant not observing the signature. Later
in the day he made up his deposit and
sent it to the Southern Bank. the check
being included.
When the teller in running over the de-
post, came to the check, he threw it out,

ing merchant, il is said he got very warm

it is feared that even this beneicent

vides for the election of city attorney,

Rev. D. E. Hoover, the newly ap-
pointed preacher for the NJ. E. Church,
delivered his first sermon Sunday morn
ing. Mr.. Hoover is not an entire stran-
ger here, having lectured or preached on
several occasions. In his opening SER
mon Mr.. Hoover said he did not know
whether the people were glad to zee him
or not, but at any rate he was glad to
see them. He preached about half an
hour. taking his text from the 9Th verse Of
the Sd chapter of the Philippians. Mr..
Hoover said there was nothing better for
an opening sermon, at the beginning Of
the conference year, except to preach the
old, old gospel with which our hearts
have been filed 80 often. The fact that
we are not satisfied with our surround
ings, but want something higher, indi-
Gates the desires Of our hearts. We are
not satisfied with this world and all that
it offers, but we are seeking something
Divine. The world cannot satisfy our
wants. Human gain and success do not
appease all the wants, Of mankind.
A higher life is the desire Of humanity.
Absolute certainty was human require
ment. The saving power Of Christ is .
certainty. This was the trend Of the dis
course. which was delivered earnestly
and forcsfully, and WAS listened to with
profound attention by large congrega-
tion.
