HOUSE DRAINAGE AT wAYoRoss.

supervising Engineer Chapman COM
pIetes Plans for n system There.
Waycross is to have a sewerage system
on about the same plan as that now be-
ing constructed in Savannah. Supervising
Engineer Chapman has just finished the
drawings al the city exchange for the new
system, which it is said Will be started
within the next two weeks. Mr. Chap
man will take the plans to Waycross in a
few days, when he will explain their de-
tails
According to the plans about fourteen
miles of pipe will be laid when the system
is completed, though it is not intended to
do all the work this summer. A division
viii be made, and only that part of the
system that is needed worst will be under
taken al present That area it is proposed
to drain takes in the more important part
of Cne town, embracing most of the section
in which there are water mains.
The central sewer will run along the
branch, a small canal passing almost
through the center of the town. and will
have an outlet in the Satilla river. some
distance northeast of the city limits. This
sewer strikes the city near Brunswick
avenue and Carsewell street, and proceeds
thence along Lott, to Isabella, TO Folks,
to Mary and to Nichols street. There will
be a Pinch sewer along this route An
other section Will start at the branch and
proceed along Second avenue to Howe
street, TO Stevenson, and to the southeast
ern part of town. Latera,s extend out in
all directions from these streets, thereby
giving a thorough drainage to the section
along Plant avenue to the court house and
the county jail. The system viii consist
of pipe all the way from eight to eighteen
inches in diameter.
That part of the system, it is said, that
will be completed this summer is divided
into three sections, the first running up the
branch to the city school building the
second up Lee avenue to the Plant Sys-
TEN Hospital, and The third along Plant
avenue to the court house and the Jail. 1t
is the intention to do the work with con-
vict labor, which win be more economical
than the usual contract plan.
Supervising Engineer Chapman, repre-
senting the firm of Waring, Chapman &
Farquhar of New York, viii have charge
of the work for a short time, but il will
later be under the supervision of Mr.. L.
b. Chapman, who has been connected with
the drainage work in Savannah. Much
thought was given by Mr.. Chapman to the
conditions in Waycross before he plan
ned the system, and the chances are the
citizens there will get satisfactory results
from the plans he will submit

years of age last Tuesday. He graduated
as a physician in the Charleston Medical
College In 1895. and came to this city in

Morning News building. The following
lines on DR.. solomons' SD birthday were
written by his granddaughter, a well
known young gentleman of this city:
At eighty-three the shadows fall
On nfe's past record, good or i'll.
The mem ry then must hear the call
Of conscience, which it cannot kill.
And wrongs once done to fellow-men
One can't forget; 1t may not be.
The deeds long done will rise again
To haunt the mind at eighty-three.
At eighty-three 'twere good to know
No wrong to brother-man may stay
To chill warm thoughts OF long ago,
To mar the twilight of LIES day.
'Twere good to know that duty done,
That helping hand, and purse e'er free
Outstretched 10 evry needy one
Had filed ones life till elghty-three.
At eighty-three l know tbs sweet
To be still noble, kind and true;
To know that loving hearts yet beat
In admiration fond for you.
You know not half the good, / ween,
Your life has done; yet we may see
The ripe reward of record clean
In Gods "WeH Donev' at eighty-three.

ON A TURPENTINE FARM,
London Naval Stores Man Took a
Turn at n Still.

NdFdl WAN TOOK
Turn at still.
Mr.. E. Nelson Hole, of the firm of
Moore & Hole of London, who arrived
here several days ago and has since been
in Efingham county, returned here yes
terday. The turpentine farms of Messrs.
Robertson and Keslers were visited, and
Mr. Hole was much interested in the OPP
erahons of the producers. While he is
one Of the largest dealers in spirits of
turpentine in the world, like many others
he was not acquainted with the exact
methods of producing it. He will return
to London with store of information
on the subject.
Speaking of the London business in
spirits turpentine, Mr.. Hole said:
In London the spirits turpentine is all
tahked on arrival The London Oil Stor-
age company owning a number of tanks,
uoes the work. An order on the vessel
ior the spirits is given the company and
1t sends barges alongside in midstream

hitaker street would be carried into eff,

Whitaker street would be carried into eff
feet.
Personally" said he, Il am very much
in favor of operating cars both ways on
whitaker street. 1t would be great
conveniences 20 the patrons Of the line
and If l lived on the western side of the
city l should certainly want to see cars
operated both way on both Whitaker and
Barnard streets. There Is nothing the
average man dislilSes so much as leaving
one street car line to catch car on an
other. So far as Whitaker street is con-
cerned the change could be easily arrang-
ed for by putting in two or three switches.
1t would be necessary, however. TO double
track Barnard street and this prevents
the plan being put into effect Immediately.
There is so much work TO be done that
We cannot do everything we would like to
do al once"
why, do you know" said Mr.. FAN,
that since the consolida ton OF the street
railway lines we have spent over 100000
in cash in improving the tracks and streets
alone. We are now at work improving
the overhead system. Other work is also
going on. When the lines We're consoi-
dated the new company had cars of half
a dozen different makes, all of them cost
~ and too valuable TO throw away. and
yet making ii difficult to operate salts
factori.y. Tracks ana car trucks had to be
brought to the same gauge. AS we dis
card the old cars, which win be done grad
ually, as the rolling stock is improved,
the old cars win go to the scrap pile, and
these costly motors will be worth no more
to US than so much scrap iron. Improve
ments in electrical machinery have fol-
lowed each other so rapidly that motors
and other machinery for which high prices
were paid few years ago are now valua-
be only for the work that can be gotten
out OF them. The people of Savannah
ought to know that the present owners of
the street railway system have put an
immense amount of money into it without
ever getting back dollar Whether we
ever will or not is problem, but we
are fully aware of the fact that the only
way to make the system profitable is to
give the people the best service possible.
and this is the idea on which we are now
working There are some improvements
in prospect, but we prefer 10 wait and
let the people see what we are doing
rather than make promises which might
fail of fulfilment"

CRAPS ON DAUFUSKIE.

Government B1lls.
Several of the banks have been called
upon recently to give good money for
bills that have been torn in bits. Sol
diers have made the requests on the cash

that came up from Daufuskie appeared
in one of the banks day or two ago
with fist full of torn up bills. He as
sorted them all out, and then entered into
an explanation of how it happened.
"You see,' he said. "the fellows were
shooting craps all the time down on the
island 1t was all they had to do. The
games would get very hot and run fast

He had played in luck. and the pay Of
