DRAINAGE AROUND THE CITY.
Commissioners Have Gang of
About Seventy Working on 1t.

Commissioners Have Gang of
About Seventy Working on 1t.
The County Commissioners are now
working from sixty to seventy convicts
on the drainage in the immediate vicinity
of the city. These gangs have finished
cleaning up and slushing the drains east
of the Waters road, and also on the De-
Renne place, practically, though they are
still there with a little more before them.
Their work is now to the southeast of the
city, along and in the immediate vicinity
of the Waters road, where they are clear
ing out all the stagnant water which has
been found there.
These gangs are now working toward
the west of the city, and within another
month or so, it is said, they will have
cleaned up everything near the city to the
south and west. There are many weeds
growing up in the drains west of the city,
a new growth since the cleaning was
given them last fall. In the course of the
next month 1t is said all of this growth
win be cleared away and the entire drain
age of the section put In first-class condi-
ton.
The Tybee people have been urging the
County Commissioners to do some work
on the drainage of the island, prepare tory
for the coming summer, and it is the
intention of the County Commissioners 10
do so. Owing to the fact that the men
have been pushing the drainage near the
city this has not been done as yet, but as
soon as gang can be spared from around
the city it will be sent to Tybee, and the
work done there. A small force was en-
gagged for three days during the month in
repairing some of the drains and one OF
the butts at the Avondale rifle range

Young Stephen williams In the

Young Stephen williams in the
BIockadinS Fleet of Matanzas.
1t will be Of interest to many Of the
friends of young Stephen Williams, who
left here last summer to join the navy, 70
know something of his whereabouts, and
what he is doing.
After passing successful examination,
in January, at the training school in New
port, r. l.. winning the medal In infantry,
he left there the same month, on the gun
boat Vicksburg for a training cruise in
the West Indies and South America. The
ship was recalled, after being out cou-
pie of months, owing to the agitation of
the war question. The boys were examined
for regular service" and few were pro-
NOTED to the monitor Puritan. Among
them was the Savannah boy. He is now
with the Puritan, the flagship of the fleet
blockading Matanzas. In a recent letter
home, he says: eve slept at our guns all
night. and were attacked by a Spanish
gun boat, which threw its searchlight on
us, and as soon as it did, ran away. We
did not fire upon it, as 1t was out of range
of the 4-ineh guns. and we did not care to
use the 12-inch as 1t was too uncertain
shot"
Later young Williams writes:s eve had
another attack last night, from a supposed
torpedo boat 1t showed white light when
approaching our ship we took it for an
enemy and turned on our searchlights, but
could not make 1t out, we hailed it, and
getting no reply we fired our port battery
on it, and either sunk il, or at got away,
as we did not see it again. We sleep at our
guns every night and wear belts contain
ing small rife ammunition. had the honor
to be one of the first to fire shot, which
1 did with pleasure, as l am anxious to
fight the Spaniards."

Breckinrfdge.s Knee Pants.

We observe that some of our ex- changes are amusing themselv yes by making facetious alIusions to Breck- inridge's knee pants. The occasion for these remarks is the facts that Major Clifton R. Breckinridge, while represen ting this government as Ambassador at the Court of St. Pe- tersburg, wore knee pants at pub lie function given in honor of the coronation of the present Car of all the Russias. It is the custom in the Old Countries to wear knee pants, the same as it used to be in the early history of the United States. On a public occasion like the ceremonies incident to the coro- nation of the Czar, all the represen- tatives of foreign governments at St. Petersburg conformed to GUS tom of that country and donned knee pants. In doing so Ambassa- dor Breckinridge simply adapted himself to the situation aud did as others did. It would have been a breach of courtesy aud politeness for Mr. Breck:nridge to have done aught else. Abassadors and Minis ters are sent to foreign governments for stheir diplomacy ard effec- tiveness. A diplomat who makes himself per&oaaa ao grota at the court to which he is sent, is not an efficient and effective diplomat. True, there is a class of people in this country who seem to think that a foreign Minister should go swag- gering about like a bully dressed in corduroy and with a bowie-knife in his boot.tops, but that is not di- plomacy. Neither is it the function of Minister. It is rufianism, pure and simple, it is more; it IS rowdy- ism. How long could the United States maintain friendly intercourse with a foreign go sernment with that kind Of a Minister? How long would the people of the United States tolerate a Minister from Rus sta or any other European govern ment who made hi mself offensive to the powers at Washington
 And, then, when did it become i'm proper to wear knee pants? The cut of mans pants is simply a matter of custom and fashion. Those who accomplished the most for this Nation wore abbreviated pants. When John Hancock touched the magic pen that put the first name to the Declaration of Independence, he wore knee pants. When Benj.

Franklin signed that immortal 1T

Franklin signed that immortal in- strument and declared Eve must all hang together or all hang separate ly, he wore pants abbreviated at the knee. When George Washing ton led the Continenatl army, he wore knee pants. When Thomas Jeffer- son hitched his horse in front of the capitol and walked before Congress to take hls oath as President of the United States, he wore knee pant When the halls of Congress rang with the eloquence of John Ran dolph of Roanoke, and his eompatri- ots all wore knee pants. And so on, through a long catalogue of ancient but honored statesmen and patriots.
 The greatest men who have ever lived in this country and accomplish ed the most for their government, wore knee pants.
 And the makers of fashion tell us that as a result of the bicycle, knee pants will soon come into style again.
