TO STOP FLOOD
ON CENTRAL
STREETS

In order to prevent the flooding
of streets in the downtown district
and to provide a means for caring
for flood waters during storms,
force of men was put to work this
week under Street Supervisor Mil
ten Seaman plowing and guttering
Seventh, Eighth and Ninth streets
to the river. 1t is the intention to
have all scales. bridges, tiling, etc..
in front of livery and feed stables
and other places of business remov-
ed. There has been considerable
trouble on account of distractions
of this character.
1t is planned to run the cutters
through to the river and make them
ample enough to provide for almost
any flow of water that may be ex-
pected to result from storm. 1t
is believed that hundreds of dollars
may be saved to the property owners
by this plan.

much of the senate's time. Earlv in
the day Senator McLaurin moved to
place bagging on the free list, and,
contrary to the general expectation,
the motion prevailed. The southern
senators were not so fortunate, how
ever, with cotton ties, which they also
desired to have made free of duty.
Senator Culberson proposed the change
in ties. He came within seven votes
of winning, the vote standing 81 to 3S.
The duty on structural iron and steel
valued at more than nine-tenths of a
cent pound was increased from three
tenths to four-tenths of one cent per
pound, being an addition to the house
rate of one tenth of a cent The rate
on steel of a lower value was left un-
changed. On zinc in pigs there was
also an addition of half cent a pound
over the house rat eof one cent.
Would Produce Revenue of $4,000, 900.
Intellectual efforts were made to have
school books and salt placed on the
free list and Egyptian cotton
on the dutiable list. Senator
Bacon, who offered the amendment for
a duty on~cotton, said that if the same
rates were placed on wool as on cotton
they would produce a revenue of So
100000 year. He proposed four cents
a pound. Senator Tillman declared
that by the adoption of his ten cent
rate on tea $4,000, 600 could be added
to the treasury receipts.
