will undoubtedly tend to increase the trade,
which has already assumed comparatively
large proportions, between Denmark and

guardian separated them on the eve of
their marriage. The play was produced
in London and ran there 1000 nights. 1t

The Dervishes stood in a thick mass ten
feet deep. The Lancers charged in perfect
line, each picking his man and running
on, as In a tournament In the days of
chivalry. They rode through five times
their number, and had seventy men killed
and wounded out of 310
Mai. Fowles was the leading squadron,
and bore the brunt of the killing. Fowles
himself killed his man, missed his next
one, put his horse over a stiff boulder and
shooting another of the enemy galloped
up the bank clear of the Dervishes, with
dozens of bullets whistling by him.
Sergt. Diggs, who had two of his fingers

GRAVEL USED on COUNTY ROADS.
Deductions From the Report of the
Committee of the Grand Jury.

Deductions From the Report of the
Committee of the Grand Jury.
Editor Morning News: 1t appears that
the original contract with the Augusta
company for gravel to he used on the
county roads was at $1.2O per cubic yard,
delivered in Savannah. After a few ship
ments were made this price was raised 10
cents, or to $1.90, it being claimed that in
creased railroad charges in the shape of
transfer fees for shipments over the Cen
trail Railroad necessitated IL. After the
surfacing work on the Augusta and
Louisville roads had been completed, all
shipments were made over the Plant Sys-
tenn and the extra transfer charges were
eliminated, but the price of gravel still
remained S1.30, Notwithstanding the re-
duced railroad charges At this price the
committee found from the official records
that 1852 cars, or 1920 cubic yards-all the
gravel for Estill avenue and Waters road,
Montgomery Cross road, Skidaway road
and the county farm road-had been pur-
chased. 1t appears that by this transact
ton the county was made to pay in ex-
