MANY bids PREPARED
ON CITY IMPROVEMENTS
Bidders Eager For AmGFiCuS
Contracts

Publicity of the widest kind is be-
ing giy to the fact that on July
10 the NE will close for the accept
ance of lids on III Improvements in
water ard sewerage extension, and
stree: living as Contemplated in the
recent bond issue. Interest in Sc
cuing the contracts for both the
water and sewerage contracts, as woil
as that for paving, is most marked.
Under present conditions sewerage
facilities embrace a street distance of
about eight miles. whereas the i'm
provements contemplated will swell
this total to approximately twenty
miles, as the new plans include about
twelve miles of extension work. This
gives a clear idea of the magnitude
of the improvements and of their i'm
rortance to the future growth and
expansion of the city Every precau-
ton has been taken to avoid the tear
ing up of pavements for the installa-
ton of sewerage and water connec-
tons from time to time, and it has
even been suggested that an ordinance
be framed to prohibit the tearing UP of
ravements during a period of five
years.
The proposed paving embraces the
laying of $4,000 square yards of pave
ment on seven different streets in the
heart of the city. The streets or sec
tions of streets to be paved include
Cotton avenue from Lamar street TO
the Central station; Jackson street
from Jefferson to the Seaboard sta
ton; Windsor avenue; Lee street from
Jefferson street to Church street;
Church street from Lee street to jack
son street; Lamar STREET from Lee
street to Hampton street; Forsyth
street from Lee street to Cotton ave-
nue..
The specifications call for bids on
creosoted wood block, vitrIfed brick
bitulithic and sheet asphalt pave
ments, so that a wide range Of ma
terial may be offered from which 10
select. Interest in furnishing bids On
the paving contracts is especially
marked.

SEVERED RADIAL ARTERY
WITH BROKEN PITCHER
Mr.. English Experienced a
Painful Accident

To have the radial artery in his
right wrist entirely severed by a brok-
en- part of an old glass pitcher was
the peculiar accident that happened
to Mr. Russell English at his home
near Andersonville yesterday morn
ing about $3.50 o'clock
In his bachelor quarters, Mr.. En-
glish was engaged in washing an old
glass pitcher that had become cracked
through rough usage, when the pitch
er suddenly broke into pieces and the
sharp edge of one part struck so heay-
lily against his right wrist just be-
low the thumb as to cut a heavy cash
about an inch long, entirely sever
ing the large radia1 artery Of the fore
arm
As it was sometime before an auto
mobile was secured to bring the
wounded man to Americas, considera-
BILE loss of blood was experienced. All
the way to the city, Mr. English held
his left hand tightly around the
wounded wrist in order to check the
flow of blod, which formed a pool on
the floor of the automobile. DR.. R. F.
Cato soon stopped the flow of blood
and dressed the wounded arm, which
will be disabled for only compara-
lively short time
Mr. English is the brother of Mr.. w.
L. English, the well-known local real
estate man.

ment Eufaula gave us last week n

Bones Of Famous Explorer Found

Paris. Feb. 11.--After years OF
searching, the remains OF the ia
nous African explorer Alexander
Gordon Laing (1T93-1S26) have
been discovered on the Upper Niger
by NJ. Bonnel de Mezieres, who was
intrusted with the mission by the
Governor of French Senegel.
Laing, who was n Scotchman, was
killed by natives between Timbuc-
too and Arawan on September 90,
1896, while exploring the course of
tho Niger on a mission from the
British Government. Other eXplor-
ers have sought in vain FOR Laings
burial place.
NJ. de Mezires collected the tales
OF the natives and ascertained that
the Rails" as LainG was called,
had been killed and buried in Il
place called Saebb, thirty-one miles
north of Timbuctoo. NJ dc Mezires
unearthed the bones Of the hapless
explorer, which were bGlried beneath
a tree about three feet deep.
L.aing was the first European to
visit Timbuctee, which he reached
by a journey across the Sahara from
Tripoli. Evidence was collected af-
ter his death that the Tripoli Gov
ernment had plotted that he should
be placed in the power Of the as
sassin Burabuschi, who who was
appointed az his guide and murder
ed him.

The orangeburg Times and DEM
ocrat is authority for the statement
that the politicians around Colum-
bia are very much displeased at
Gov. Blease's course in the eXecu-
tive office and that plans to COM
pass his defeat two years hence
to be advised as TO the real status
The Times and Democrat based its
assertions on the fact that Gov.
Blease's attack upon Senator Till
man has estranged many OF Mr.
Blease's former friends whose love
for the senior senator is greater
than was their admiration for the
present chief executive. There is
no questioning the fact that Sena-
tor Tillman has stronger follow
ing in the State at the present time
than he has had at any other time
during his long political career, and
the politician who hopes TO
strengthen the possibilities OF his
own political future by attempting
TO discredit Tillman mistakes the
temper of the people. Tillman may
not be an idol of the people, but
he has a following that has dug
many political graves for those
who dared oppose him. Doubtless
Governor Blease knows what he is
about, but he is walking where an
gels fear to tread.
