days duration To determine the net
horse power available at any shoal on the
river multiply the horse power per foot
of fall' by the total fall of the shoal or
the power head that can be developed.
Example-To find the net horse power of
a 75-foot head at Trotter's shoal. near
Calhoun Falls Station, during the lowest
water of the year 1899; 154x75 equals H.
houn Falls Station apply practically to
below the mouth of Seneca river, and
above of Broad river with correction ac-
cording to watershed for tributaries com
ing in between these points. The records
al Augusta apply in the same way to sec
ton below the mouth of Broad river.
From the mouth of Seneca river to Au-
gusta the river falls AS feet in a success
sion of cascades offering opportunities for
the development of many fine water pow
ers Practically all of this power is run
ming 20 waste except the fifty foot fall
that is developed at Augusta. Some of
the largest undeveloped shoals are: Nc
Daniels shoal in Ebert county, thirty
feet fall. Middletcn's shoal in Ebert coun-
ty has eighteen feet fall. Grigg's shoal,
in Ebert county. fourteen feet fall.
Trotters shoal, in Ebert county, seven
ty-fve feet fall Long shoal, in Lincoln
county thirty-fve foot fail. These are
points where the fall is most precipitous,
but practically the entire undeveloped fall
of 1898 feet can be utilized for power.
Broad river the upper tributaries, Tuga-
loo. Tallulah and others, will be the sub
ieCt of the next report.

VIM. Kelly & Son launched a lighter
from their yards opposite the foot of
Barnard street yesterday for the Sa-
venneh Lighterage and Transfer Com
pany. The method and ease of handling
a huge craft of this sort is interesting
to those not familiar with the work. The
lighter is built on huge timbers called
ground pieces that form a sort of rail-
way on which it rests. The surface of
these timbers is smooth. On either of
the ground pieces rest planks about two
inches thick. known as ground bilges.
These bilges slide readily on the ground
pieces, which are creased to facilitate the
plunge into the water. When the lighter
is properly inclined the iron grasps which
hold the bilges to the ground pieces are
released. and few strokes here and
there with a sledge sends the lighter Gid
ing into the water.
After the launching the workmen cele-
brated the completion of their contract
by participating of refreshments
through the courtesy of Mr.. Kelly. The
present lighter makes thirty-two in the
fleet of the Savannah Lighterage and
Transfer Company.

Health stated that the Board of Health
had put on a permanent sanitary force
and had increased the force by great
many men. DR.. Il Engle said: 1.-The city
engineer has also been instructed to furn-
ish a plat of each square, and a correct
census of each block will be taken, Civ
ing the age, color and sex of each of the
occupants of the buildings, where the
heads of families are and the owners of
the property or tenants, and whether the
head of the family is male or female.
This is to be done to nable the relief to
be properly distributed and to prevent i'm
position by those who may not have any
claims upon the public for charity. The
Board of Health has also, under the
charge of Superintendent Kuchler, put
men to work looking after the sanitary
condition in the burnt district where the
water supply has been affected by the
fire and where the sewer connections
have been damaged. special force of
inspectors has been put to work to see
that the unburned portion of the city.
which is now crowded above its capacity,
is kept clear of all dangerous conditions
which may arise owing to the extra pres
sure brought to bear in this section of
the city.

The Tallahasseean: Mrs. T. II. Ran

received the following letter, which will
be of interest TO many of our readers:

sample of the difficulties that are some
times encountered and overcome by the

destination in this city without delay.
The following is the inscription on the
envelope: Mr. Y NJ. Cpvarc, Coker-

ter was delivered to Mr.. G. NJ. Swartz,
Walker ST.. Augusta, Ga. This delivery
was correct and the feat of securing
proper delivery is rendered more notice
able from the fact that the alphabet of
two languages are used in the address.

A PIKE FISH STORY.

Pike County Journal: One of the most
ported by Doyal McLendon, of near Flip
pen. About four years ago Mrs. McLen-
don lost small stone set from her
breastpn somewhere about the house or
yard, and had long since given it up for
good. A few days since Mr.. McLendon
took some fish from his net in the creek,
about fifty yards from the house, and in
cleaning a fine perch, the set was found
inside of it, Mrs. McLendon recognizing
il upon first sight. How the fish got il is
the question-possibly it had been a long
time in being gradually carried from the
yard to the creek by rains. Be that as it
may. the real facts are vouched for by
Mr.. and Mrs. McLendon.

one, and every one seemed to fully enjoy
themselves. Profs. Etherige and An

her excellent singing. Although quite
young, she has splendid control of her
voice, singing the most difficult songs
with great ease
