VIII Investigate Charges.

President Mckinley says that all
charges of mismanagement and neglect
at army camps will be thoroughly in
vestigated, and IL there are guilty par
ties they will be punished. The presi-
dent is certainly not man to tolerate
such an offense, nor is he man to pun
ish without investigation. That there
have been some cases of inefIiciency
in the care of 100000 men suddenly
summoned to the field is not TO be
doubted. They are exceptional, and yet
not TO be excused. The business of
sitting charges of neglect Is one Of
stern but impartial justice. The
charges must be specific, no rumors set
afloat by sensationalists. For every
soldier that has been wronged by in
competence there will and ought to
be a singing out Of the culprit, fol-
lowed by proper punishment-st. Louis

Everyone seems to enjoy it, so every
time we get in new crowd l manage
to have him tell it. Some one told me
the other day that Tom thought his
sister was a remarkably bright woman
and 1t gave me a wonderfully approx

little woman said she couldn't stay any
longer, and she rushed off to have a
talk with Jones himself.
She told him shat she had just left
Helen, who was sick and wretched and
she was determined to know what was
the matter.
He said If Helen wouldn't tell her he
surely wouldn't feel justified in doing
so. 1t was little matter in which he
was wholly to blame, and his heart
swelled with pride at his wife's loyalty
in shielding him. Then he hurried
home and apologized and she apollo
gized, and joy reigned again among the

THE SOUTHERN STORM.
Further Reports of Great Damage
Coast Islands suffer
Severely.

Savannah, Ga, Sept. 3.-While Savan-
nah suffered heavily from the cyclone
which swept over this section of the
coast Wednesday morning, the dam
age on the coast islands and in the in
terror as far as the storm reached Is
probably greater. The flooded condi-
tion of the country renders communi-
cation difficult and in many sections il
is entirely cut off and no news has been
received to indicate what the condi-
tions are. The first news from the
Carolina sea islands which were the
scene of the great tidal storm of 1898,
in which thousands of persons per-
ished was received Friday. While the
storm was nothing like that of five
years ago the loss is heavy. The
beaches north of Tybee are lined with
and the other small settlements near
ly all the houses were unroofed and
many were destroyed.
The loss to the rice crop on the
Savannah river alone is estimated at
100000 to $250,000. Three-fourths of
the crop has been destroyed. The loss
to planters between Savannah and Au-
gusta will run into the hundreds of
thousands. A heavy flood is reported
in the upper Savannah river and mes
sengers were sent out from here to
warn planters of it's approach. The
cotton crop in the counties adjoining
Savannah is practically ruined. Z

BRICK ron NEW HOUSTON STREET.
Block From Bull to whitaker VIII
Probably BE Paved.


Alderman T. J. Davis viii introduce an
ordinance at the next meeting of Council
to pave New Houston street with vitri-
fed brick, from Bun to Whitaker street.
1t is proposed that The work be done by
Commissioner Of Public Works Wilink.
on the same plan as the paving around
the city market.
The brick paving there and on Abercorn
street, and on Habersham street, from
Oglethorpe avenue to Liberty street, seems
to have given such satisfaction that some
of the aldermen are inclined to favor US
ing brick more generally hereafter as a
paving material
Alderman Davis has no fear of opposi-
ton to the proposed ordinance, which he
believes Will pass on the strength of the
brick paving heretofore laid by the city,
and against which there has been no COM
plant. He says too that brick is prefer
able on streets where there is heavy traf-
fic, because it is durable, and has a firm
and lasting surface. These streets are
also easily cleaned. About the only objec-
ton is the noise. which at times is an
noying, where the traffic is heavy at all
hours. This has never been urged as a
reason against adopting brick, however,
and the probability is this material will
be more generally used in the future
Commissioner Willink states that in case
the ordinance passes, ne can complete the
work in about ten days after the material
is on the ground. The market paving
is the most satisfactory ever put down
under the commissioner supervision, and
the property owners who are now paying
their assessments on it, do not seem to
regret what it has cost them. II is stated
the proposed work will be fully up to
all brick paving thus far done.
Should the ordinance pass, il is not known
what kind of brick win be used, but if
the city is TO get a special rate from any
company, it is certain the paving will
show off to good advantage contrasted
with the Bull street gravel. The gra|el
paving on New Houston, from Bull to
DraytOn was put down as a sample, and
il may be the intention TO test some par
ticular kind of brick on the other block
TO Whitaker street.
