part of the rock shoals above Hawinks-
Vile and in snagging operations. These
funds will carry on operations until
June 80, 1902. For the ensuing fiscal
year provision should be made for the
construction of a snag boat, at an es-
timated cost of $4,000 and for the ex

rock above HaWkinsville.

attention of Captain Gillette. He says:

Guiding the dredged channel, at the
mouth of Academy creek, until June 80,
1902. it is estimated that $4,000 will be
required. For the year ending June 80,
1903, it is estimated that an additional
$4,000 will be required unless funds are
appropriated in the meantime, for the
removal of the shoals below the city;
in which case no funds for maintenance

O820 Two Boards of Engineer of
ficers have reported that further work
on the breakwater part of the project
is inadvisable. The board that report
ed under date of Nov. Il, 1900 recon-
mended the adoption of a new project,
providing for a depth of % feet, at
mean highwater at an estimated cost
of $l,O39, 1875, including the amount OF
funds then on hand. Should an appro-
priation for this be made, no funds
will be required for the maintenance
of the channel to June 30, 1903 Should
this not be done, and the present pro
ject adhered to, there will be required
for the completion of the extension of
the oyster bed training wall. estimat-
ing rock at the prices of the present
contract at Cumberland Sound, the
sum of 1926, 500 in addition to the funds
on hand, and for maintenance of the
channel to the depth and width pro
vided for by the present project till
June 30, 1903 the sum of $4S6500.
"The above shows that the present
balance of $425, 408.20 will be expend-
ed for construction. 1t is part or
a sum appropriated for both mantle
nance and construction. If any or all
of it be expended for maintenance, the
sum total of the two amounts above
estimated, will not be changed"
Work on Savannah River.
The report next treats of the work
done on the Savannah river: "a train
ing dyke $40 feet long was built at
Rifle Cut, and a similar dyke 545 feet
long, built at Buggs Bar. The dyke
at Half Guinea Bar, begun last year
was completed. 1t is 700 feet long. The
construction of a training dyke was
also begun at Blue House Bar. Dur
ing the fiscal year, SAC piling were
driven and 1,064 sawed off; ASS cross
ties spiked on; ACTS brush bundles and
315 cubic yards of stone placed"
The following operations begun Dec.
3, are given:
"A training dyke LOO feet long, was
built at Twigg's Bar, and another O.
900 feet long at Rifle Cut, partly con-
structed. Work was also carried on
at Blue House Bar. At this point
training dyke 1,625 feet long, and two
shore protection dykes. 1880 and 2,246
feet long were partly built"
Capt. Gillette says, the funds at pres
ent available will probably last until
June 30, 1902. 1t is expected that the
expenditure of $4,000 estimated for in
this report, will complete the project

CAPT. GlLLETTE'S REPORT.
ENGINEER TELLS OF WORK IN HIS
DISTRICT.

A Statement of SaVnnnah's Large
Commerce Included as Evidence
of the Need of Additional Inn
prOvement-Work on the savan-
nah River Has Made Good Pro-
Rrcss-Needs of the other Rivers
of the District and of Darien and
Brunswick HarbOrs Presented.
Washington. July 19.-General ellis
pie. the Chief Engineer officer of the
army is daily receiving the annual re-
ports from those officers experimenting
the work of improving the rivers and
harbors throughout the United States.
These reports form the basis for Gen.
Gillespie's annual report to the Secre-
tary of War which includes the recon-
mendations sent to Congress in behalf
of appropriations included in the river
and harbor bill. Two years have been
allowed to pass without the enactment
of a general river and harbor bill and
the results show in the reports of the
army engineers demonstrates the I'M
wisdom of allowing such a long period
to elapse without providing the means
necessary to carry certain work to COM
pletion.
Captain Gillette who succeeded Capt.
o. M. Carter in the direction of the
work of improving many of the water
ways in Georgia, including Savannah
harbor and Cumberland Sound, has
submitted a very interesting and COM
prehensive statement of the condition
of the work under his supervision and
makes a number of valuable sugges-
lions and urges liberal appropriations
for the various projects already COM
menced and others yet unappropriated
for. The following is a brief summing
up Of the new features of his report
so far as it relates to Georgia:
The work on savannah HarbOr.
During the fiscal year ending June

CATERPILLARs DAMAGE COTTON.

Gainesville Sun: w. G. Robinson,
manager of the cotton department of
H. F.. Dutton & Co, inform us that
judging from the statements which he
has been receiving from all sections
of the cotton belt. especially in the
vicinity of Hawthorn, that much dread
ed pest, the caterpillar, has made its
appearance with disastrous results.
and from the reports received from
the growers the number of these cot
ton destroyers has broken the record
for the past ten years. Manager Rob-
inson stated that unless the planters
took some action looking towards the
destruction of the worms without de-
lay the crop would sustain serious loss
A greater part of the cotton acreage
of this county is largely owned by
planters who will probably be unable
to meet the conditions, which is to be
regretted. The proper remedy for the
destruction of the caterpillar is a prep
aration of either Paris green or white
arsenic made into liquid, with which
the plants are sprayed. This spray has
been used with good effects in South
Carolina, Georgia and other cotton
states.

them turn Migrants. "There are about

opening the inside route to Beaufort,
S. c., was continued until July 20,
1900, when the contract was completed.
The total amount dredged was CTS, 1854
cubic yards at cents per yard.
A contract for dredging in the upper
part of the harbor, between the Cen
trail Railroad wharves, and the old wa
ter works, was made Oct. 6. 1900. with
George T. Warner at 1874 cents per
cubic yard. Dredging was begun Dec.
3, 1900, and the work completed on
June 20, 1901. There was removed 219,-
1888. cubic yards of material. besides LOG
logs encountered in dredging.
Dredging under oral agreement, at
10 cents per cubic yard, was begun by
Rittenhouse r. Moore. on Oct. %. 1900.
and completed May 81. 1901. There
was removed $1,000 cubic yards from
the Lower Flats and 99,S13.4 cubic
yards from the new cut through Mud
river.
The survey of the harbor begun In
March, 1900, was completed.
Commerce of savannah.

detailed statement of the commerce OF
Savannah, and on the nearby streams
in the following language:
THE regular lines of steamships es-
tablished between this port and New
York. Baltimore and Philadelphia.
comprise a total of sixteen steamers, of
which six run to the frst-named port
and ten to the two last-named. During
the calendar year 1900 they made Isl
round trips and carried eco, $50 tons of
freight.
"On the inland waters there are n
number of small steamers plying be-
tween Savannah and adjacent ports.
besides numerous schooners and small
sailboats II is estimated that for the
year this portion OF the commerce
amounted To 225 600 tons of freight, val
ued at about $4,000 O0

removed by dredging 72,6667 cubic
yards of material" He continues:
The most of the work done by the
contractors was inside and outside of
the crest of the bar. But little i'm
preston was made on the bar crossing,
owing to the fact that only in good
weather and near high tide, could any
work be done. The channel dredged
has shoaled badly, since work was
stopped, and it is recommended that
the contract be annulled.
THE funds available are sufficient
to complete the channel, but it will
require maintenance after about June
80. 1902. A liberal estimate for this
maintenance should be made, as the
natural forces at work on the bar are
at present very uncertain of action.
Forty thousand dollars should be ap-
propriated to insure maintenance.
Needs of Dnrien HarbOr.
"No work was done during the fiscal
year in Darien harbor. The channel is
reported to be in about the same con-
dition as last year, and Capt. Gillette
says AS three-fourths of the ships
using the harbor use this old channel,
il should be deepened. 1t is estimated
that $4,000 can be economically and
advantageously expended for the i'm
provement of this waterway, which ex-
penditure is urgently needed. 1t is
also estimated that $4,000 will serve for
it's maintenance during the fiscal
year"
Capt. Gillette gives a detailed state
ment of what has been accomplished
on the Altamaha river and says: THE
next work done on this river should
be to improve the very bad conditions
at Beads Bluff. remove the rock shoals
at Cypress Nursery and Carter's Blight,
clear the river of snags and remove
as many of the worst sand bars as the
funds available will permit"
The condition of the Oconee river is
given as follows: "The river is full
OF snaEs: there are several rock shoals
and sand bars for whose removal the
project calls; the breech in the old dam
at Fish Trap Cut needs widening"
Capt. Gillette then adds: 1T is pro-
posed to eXpend any funds that may
become available during the coming
fiscal year In the removal Of obstruc-
tons and the Improvement of the shoal
places in the river.
Forty thousand dollars can be eco
nomically and advantageously eNpend-

the Supreme Court.


Dublin, Ga, July 2O.-Dublin is 4
long way off from a new school build
ing. Yesterday the Supreme Court de-
cided that the bond election held March
IL last, was illegal, and the whole thing
will have to be done over again.
Jan. IL last the public school build
ing in this city was destroyed by fire
A short time later the City Council
called an election to determine wheth-
er or not bonds to the amount of $685.
600 should be issued for the following
purposes: Not more than the sum of
S20,0 900 to be used for the erection of
public school building, and not more
than the sum of S. 900 to be used in
charging and improving the light and
water plant. the surplus if any, to be
used in any manner the Mayor and
Council might see fit.
The bonds were authorized by a vote
of the people of Dublin, but when the
authorities sought to validate the bonds
c. G. and NJ. f. Smith interposed an
objection, holding that the call for
the bonds was too vague and indefinite,
and conferred too much authority on
the Mayor and Council. Judge Hart
overruled the objection and validated
the bonds. The case was then carried
to the Supreme Court, which yesterday
reversed Judge Hart.
new election will be ordered at
once by the municipal authorities with
the call so explicit and the purpose
for which the money will be used made
so plain that no person can possibly

however, the delay hurts the interests

BRASS BUTTON SAVED HIM.

Volusia Record: Silas Davis and
Robert Green are two negroes working
for the Plant System on the DeLeon
Section. Last Saturday they became
engaged in a quarrel over a pair of
shoes. The quarrel got so hot that
Davis drew his pistol and shot Green
twice at close range. They were only
few feet apart. The ball from the
first fire entered Green's mouth, knock
ing out two of the front teeth, passing
through the mouth. coming out nearly
at the back of the neck. The bali from
the second fire hit a brass button on
Green's coat. Had it not been for the
button, Green would have been sent
into eternity in an instant. The bail
embedded itself in the breast nearly
over the heart. Davis was arrested,
and both negroes We're brought to De-
