Imprisonment.

consideration to the report of the special
committee on house drainage. with refer

The question requires prompt as well
as serious consideration" said Mayor
Myers. IF Engineer Chapman is TO be
called back to make a report upon the
question of change in the outlets il is
desirable that this should be done as early
as possible in orde, that no time may be

would be TO incur q serious risk seems
TO be generally acknowledged. 1t is a
question which we cannot afford to pass
upon lightly"
Alderman Thomas said that the more
he examined into the house drainage
question the hrmer he became in his on
position to emptying the sewage in front
of the city From the present temper Of
Council it seems likely that the views
held by Mayor Myers and Alderman

Mr. Hugh ". Hutton has returned to the

in the cotton brokerage business, MIR. Hut

Hutton yesterday. land / find the crop
conditions generally good. In southwest
Georgia I found the crop very fine. At
Americus and Dawson there were COM
plants of the drought but since then they
have had good rains At Lumpkin good
crops were reported AZ Ozark, Ala, l
was told they had lhe finest cotton crop IN
years Around Columbus and at Eufauld
and AbbeviHe, Ala, the crops were re-
ported to be only fair. In Western Geor-
gia the crop is small but heavily fruited
aud with good rains Will make a .-ood
crop. The cotton Is spotted in some sec
tons, and in few places poor, but gen
orally the condition is well up to HE
average. There are almost no complaints
as 10 caterpillars and worms, and the crop
is unusually clean
THE corn crop" said Mr.. Hutton is
almost q total failure. There are some
good crops, but as a rule the corn is small
and of very poor appearance, with indicl-
tions of a very small yield. one large far
mer informed me that he had large field

"The round bale is evidently becoming a
factor in the cotton business" said Mr..
Hutton. THE manufacturers of the round
bale presses are pushing their way. l
was told that two of these presses were
being put in at Madison and another at
McDonOugh and l saw one being erected at
Abbeville. Ala. The round bale people are
using every argument to get their presses
installed. They assure the ginners that
cotton packed in these presses viii bring
50 a bale more and that the manufacturers
prefer the round bales l did not under
stand that Ehey give any guarantee to this
effect. however. The chief argument they
use with the ginners is the threat that
they have plenty of money and will install
the press themselves with their own gin IL
the ginner does not agree to use their press.
The presses are not sold to the glnners
but the latter are required to deposit 500
for each press. He can then put the roy
atty of 81 a bale in his pocket until he has
gnned 800 bales, after which he is expected
to remit the royalty to the company. The

Richard Stevens fell from a building yes
terday morning and died during the after

houses being built at the corner of Jones
and Abercorn streets. He fell at about Ii
o'clock, and died between 4 and in the
afternoon.
No one saw the man as he fell from the
roof. The attention Of several was attract
ed by cry and on looking in the direc-
ton from which the sound came they saw
Stevens falling. 1t was fully forty feet
feet from the roof to the hard pavement
on the sidewalk below, and it would have
been wonderful had the man met with less
than fatal injury. Indeed, it was strange
that he was not killed instantly.

seen that ne was badly hurt. His dangling
limbs showed that many bones We're brok-

recognized the case at once as hopeless.
The man was placed in an ambulance and
taken to the Georgia Inhrmary.
Stevens was a workman of whom his
employer spoke in the highest terms of
commentator. He had worked for Mr.
Pacetu for seventeen years, and there are
many who knew him as an upright, sober
and industrious man.
