Leg Operated Upon.

In July of last year Daniel W. Dinger,
of near Emerickville, cut an ugly cash
in his right leg, just above the knee,
with an AK while at work in the woods
When the wound healed it left him with
a stiff leg. Mr.. Dinger, who is young
man, did not want to go through life
handicapped by stiff leg and he decid-
ed to go to Philadelphia hospital and
have the leg operated upon. After con-
sulting with one Of our doctors, Mr..
Dinger concluded that 1t was not
necessary to go to the "Quaker City" to
have such an operation performed, as
there was skill enough nearer home to
give him the desired relief. Conse-

near BrOOkville, was badly gored by a
vicious bull Sunday forenoon. While

Mr.. Johns on its horns and tossed him
a dozen feet in the air and when he
struck the ground the bull attacked
him with hoof and horns, inhicting a
terrible cash in his side and injuring
his spine. Two men who happened to
be passing by fastened to Mr.. Johns

have killed him then and there. His
recovery is doubtful.

DRAINAGE WEST OF THE CITY.
OGEECHEE CANAL MAY YET BE
MADE THE OUTLET.

County Commissioners to Confer
With President Conner of the Gem
trail Railway as TO the Use of the
Canal For Drainage PurpOses--A
Probability That 1t May BE Secur-
ed on Favorable Terms.
Under the action taken by the county
commissioners, looking to the use of the
the section through which it runs it may
be that something will be done shortly
toward draining the section just west of
the city which has so long been in need
of it.
The committee on drainage has been en-
powered to look into the matter and OBJ
tain all the facts with regard to the use
all probability that committee will con-
fer with President H. M. Conner of the
Central of Georgia Railway Company on
the subject, since the old canal is the
property of that company.
President Conner has desired for some
time that the canal should be taken hold
of by the county and used as a drainage
canal, and there has been some little cor
respondence on the subject. The matter
was brought up in a similar shape before
the former board of commissioners, but
nothing definite was done
It is believed the Central would be will
Ing to allow the county to take the canal
outright, to be used for drainage and as
drainage outlet. Probably the only stip-
ulation that would be made would be with
regard to some arrangement for using
that portion of the canal near the river
for purposes of navigation. 1t is used to
some extent now for that purpose, but in
order to get the best results it might have
to be deepened somewhat.
The drainage committee, which has the
matter in hand, will, no doubt report to
the next meeting of the board, and per
haps some recommendation as to the
proper course to pursue will be made at
that time. That the western section is in
need of better drainage system was
shown by Maj. G. NJ. Ryals, in his talk
to the commissioners Thursday afternoon
The Ogeechee canal is the natural drain
age canal for the section through which
it runs, and it can also be used to drain
certain swampy sections along it's banks,
which might, with proper drainage, be
readily converted into arabic lands Many
people, who have taken an interest in the
matter, express the opinion that the pro-
ject of using the Ogeechee canal for the
purposes stated, cannot be undertaken
too soon.

PIPE MAKERS PROTESTING.
PIPE TRUSTS CONTROL OF BIDS ON
THE SEWER CONTRACT.

Antitrust Manufacturers Say They
Are shut ont by the Specification
which Call only for Ohio River
Pfpe-AIdermnn WyIIy Tells Why
the Kind of Pipe Was Specified.
MIR. 7. S. Russell. of Chattanooga, rep
resenting Montague & Co., of that city
proprietors of large clay works, has made
a protest to Alderman WILLY, chairman
of the drainage committee Of city council
against that section of the specifications
for the house drainage system which re-
ouires that "an earthenware, pipes and
fittings shall be of the best quality of salt
glazed. vitrifed Ohio river clay"
The result OF this section as it stands al
present, Mr.. Russell says, is to shut out
from competition for the sewer work here,
all clay pipe manufacturing companies in
the south and, in fact everywhere except
those in the trust which includes all those
companies engaged in manufacturing
Ohio river pipe clay.
Alderman Wylly has promised to take
the matter under consideration.
"Our reason for specifying that salt
glazed, vitrifed Ohio river pipe only shall
be used" said Alderman Wylly, when
seen by Morning News reporter, lis sim
ply this: When our committee visited
Brunswick to inspect the new sewerage
system there we found that some Of the
Chattanooga pipe had been used. The con-
tract called for Ohio river pipe, but the
supply running short, the contractors were
given permission to finish the work with
Chattanooga pipe. We found that in near
" every instance 1t had been necessary to
remove this pipe and replace it with Ohio
river pipe. Our only object is to secure
the very best pipe made. The Ohio river
pipe is said to be the best made and is
known TO be exceedingly strong"
Mr.. Russell said that none of the Mon
tague pipe has ever been laid in Bruins
wick, and in consequence it could not have
proven unsatisfactory. Samples were ship
ped there but the contract was obtained
by other parties. Mr.. Russell left for
Brunswick last night to obtain proof of
this fact and TO correct any impression
that the pipe he represents has proven
unsatisfactory.
Mr. Russells objection to the specfica-
lions which call for bids only on Ohio
river pipe, is that it gives the sewer pipe
trust an advantage in the bidding, to tho
exclusion of other manufacturers which
makes equally as good pipe as That mado
of Ohio river clay, and practically does
away with all competition.
The Information requested by the COM
mlttee of objecting property owners as to
cost of work, manner in which it is to be
paid for, manner of making house connec-
lions and the estimated cost, has been
furnished the committee Nothing further
has been heard from it. and it is
not believed that there will be any trouble
from this source. The bids for the work
are to be In by Nov. IS, and will be sub
mitted to council next Wednesday night.
Alderman Wylly has received a number of
replies from physicians to the letter sent
out by him, requesting the views of the
physicians on the question of outlet for
the sewage system. The replies will be
submitted to council at its next meeting.

CO-EDUCATION AMONG NEGROES.
The Move to Provide Places for WO-
men In the Industrial School,

men In the Industrial school.
The bill introduced in the legislature by
Representative Law of Liberty county,
providing for co-education at the state
colored college, does not seem to be look
ed upon as an advisable move at this
time. In addition to the above, the bill
provides for an appropriation sufficient to
build dormitories for females.
Relative to the co-education at the col
ored college, Prof Otis Ashmore one of
the commissioners controlling the college,
stated emphatically that he did not think
such step would conduce to the good of
colored people. The college is progress
ing very nicely at present, but he thought
if co-education were established among
the negroes, it would not only destroy the
good that has already been accomplished
there, but would prove detrimental to the
cause of education in the south.
Even were co-education established
among the colored people" said he, 'the
college here is a most unfavorable place
to test it. The grounds are isolated and
the surroundings are unsuitable. In my
opinion, a college where co-education is
practicable should be in a populated com
munity. Under no circumstances would
L advise it here"
Prof. Ashmore does not think the col
ored people are yet upon plane to war
rant co-education. The schools provided
for them are elevating them, he thought,
but the effect is not yet such as to assure
the success of a co-educational move
ment.

FAIRS FIFTH NIGHT.
The Attendance Large and the Scene
an AttractiYe One.

There was another large crowd at the
Guards armory last night ana the Odd
Fellows booths were well patronized.
The three uniformed companies of the
knights of Pythlas, Georgia No. l, Capt.
w. T. Leopold; Teutonia No. 3. Capt.
George Witte, and Savannah No. Is, Capt.
Jacob Gazan, were present as a battalion,
commanded by Maj. J. Ferris Cam. Col.
John Juchter and staff of the First Regi-
ment, knights of Pythias, were also pres
emit. After supper the Knights were
marched to the bazaar floor, and were dis
missed. The dazzling uniforms of the
knights blended tremendously with the
decorations of the hall and added much
TO the plcturesqueness of the scene. There
as nothing that has a greater attraction
for the average Savannah young lady than
military uniform. 1t IS an open Sc
same to her good graces, and the knights
were very soon the center of attraction,
and were besieged on all sides by the fair
workers.
There was an abundance of music. The
regimental band, which acted as an es-
cort TO athe Knights, played outside the
hail. and Deals orchestra on the inside,
Mile. Rita, who has established an en-
viable reputation in the science of palm
"
is now located on the left of the entrance
to the hall.
Owing to the illness of Mrs. r. E.
Burks, the booth of the Oglethorpe lodge
has been placed in charge of Mrs. w. II.
Powell, who will have as her chief assist
ant Mrs. S. L. Outten. Mrs Burks gave
up the management Of the booth with
much regret, and her presence will be
greatly missed.
The following articles were disposed of
last night at the booth of Haupt lodge:
Fancy cake, to Mrs j. w. Thomas; two
sofa pillows, besides a number of boxes
of candy and small articles.
At the booth of Acorn lodge the follow
ing articles were disposed Of Three fancy
cakes, one to Mr.. Fred Yokum, one to
Mrs. George Schroeder and the third to
Mrs. p. E. Masters; a silk parasoi to Miss
Daisy Yokum, and a rocking chair to
Hon. Herman Myers
Live Oaks booth DISPOSED of several
valuable articles, but the list has not yet
been made up. The race for the pneumatic
tire buggy at this booth is attracting con-
siderable attention and promises to be
quite spirited. Maj. j. Ferris Cam is in
the race, and his friends will see that he
does not lag.
The refreshment department is one of
the features of the bazaar. The supper
served is first-class in every respect and
the menu is tempting to say the least.
The ladies of the Independent Society
certainly understand how to tempt the APP
petite. They are in position to serve
theater parties.
While there are fair crowds in attend
ance on the bazaar there is not as much
money spent as the enterprise deserves.
The odd Fellows have always responded
literally and cheerfully to every appeal
of a charitable nature made upon them,
and they feel that as this is the first time
they have ever been before the public,
they are entitled to the good wishes and
patronage of the people.
