DRAWS COST TOO MUCH.
That Is the View of Mayor Phinixy,
but others Disagree.

Augusta, April 2S.-Mention has pre-
viously been made of petitions filed by
parties here with the War Department
to require the Southern Railway and
city of Augusta to place draws across
the Savannah river, so that steam
boats can pass above the city to the
mills.
The Mayor invited a number of mill
presidents and wholesale merchants to
a conference to-day, in which it was
developed that every one present fav-
ored the draws in the bridges and be-
lieve that the advantages in shipping
facilities and in lower water rates will
outweigh the expense of putting in the
draw bridges and in maintaining them.
Mayor Phinizy said it would cost the
city $4,000 to build them and $42, 400
annually to operate them, and the city
cannot afford it.
The business men disagreed with his
position, however, and declared it
would be money well spent.

MICRO ORGANISM
CAUSES SMALLPOX

Boston, April 2S.-The announcement
of the discovery of the cause of small
pox was made tonight by DR.. William
T. Councilman, professor of pathology
in the Harvard Medical School, at a
meeting of the Boston Society Of Medi-

The announcement is the outcome of
the Investigations conducted by DR..
Councilman, DIR. George Burgess Nc
Grath and DR.. Walter Ramsen Brinck-
erhoff, with the cooperation of the
Boston Board of Health during the re-
cent epidemic Of the disease in this
city.
It has been determined that small
pox is caused by a micro organism rep
resentative of the lowest form of ami
NAL life. This fact serves to show a
relation between smallpox and such
diseases as malaria and to distinguish
it from many other infectious diseases
caused by bacteria.
