MAY HAVE WINDOW BOXES.

Proprietor John II. Mann OF the
Douglass is planning TO add to the at
Effectiveness of his hosiery this sum-
mer by installing window boxes Of
flowers I'm each Of the large windows
on Isle Royale street. Mr. Mann has
thought of doing this before but the
dripping of water to the sidewalk was
drawback. To overcome this trou-
bile he proposes to procure some self
watering pots, which retain the water
without any OF the usual annoyance
resulting from water dripping through
the bottom.

LITTLE BOY INJURED.
Claude Moore Struck by Automobile
Yesterday Afternoon.

Claude, the eight-year-old son OF
Mrs. Lee Sheldon Moore, was injured
yesterday afternoon by being struck
by an automobile driven by A. M.
Ross.
1t seems that Mr.. Ross was com
ing down Egmont street and mum
Der of small boys were at play in
the middle of the street near the cor
ner of Prince. All of the youngsters,
1t Is appears, saw the machine COM
ing and stepped aside, half going on
one side and half on the other, but
the little Moore boy failed to get out
OF the way, and although the machine
was moving along slowly be was
struck and knocked to the ground,
his right leg being broken by the
blow he received.
The accident was deeply regretted
by Mr.. Ross, and the injured Ocy was
picked up by him and carried to his
home on Egmont street, where he re-
ceived medical attention. The broken
member was reset and the little fell
low was reported to be resting easy
last night.

A., B. 8A. WILL
SPEND 100000
AT TERMINALS
ENGINEER WILL ARRIVE IN CITY
TOMORROW TO BEGIN
ON WORK.
Understood that Improvements VIII
Include More Recommendations for
Vessels, Extra WarehOlse Room
and other cenvenIences.

One hundred thousand dollars in
improvements, to be made at the ter
minals of the Atlanta, Birmingham St
Atlantic railroad in this city at once,
Is the announcement which has just
been made.
An engineer from New York is ex-
pected to arrive in the city today or
tomorrow for the purpose of making
a preliminary survey and deciding
upon just what is needed at the ter
minals to accommodate the increased
business of the railroad company and
the various other companies using
these terminals for shipping pur-
poses.
Until this engineer arrives and goes
over the situation it is not known
exactly what improvements will be
made, but it is understood that he
has been notified that an expenditure
of 100000 is to be made at the ter
minals, and this is to include new
wharves, more warehouse room, if
needed, and other improvements nee
essary.
The terminals of the A., B. & A. in
this city, as is well known, are
among the best on the South Allan
tic coast, and with these improve
ments to be made at once, the line
will be in position to handle an in
creased amount of business. Many Of
the local lumber and crosstie firms
now ship all of their output over these
terminals, while the Clyde Steam
ship line also uses them. With this
increased amount OF business it was
found necessary some time ago to
make these improvements and the
work will be done at once.
AS stated above, the engineer, who
is to outline the work, will arrive in
the city before tomorrow night and
will at once decide upon just what
is needed at the terminals to accom-
modate this increase of business.

NORTH GEORGIA ORGANIZES
A DRAINAGE DISTRICT

That North Georgia is interested in
ment that beginning in February II
drainage district will be organized
under the Georgia law in Gwinnett
county, along Big Haynes creek.
This will be the first legitimate dis
trict in the state under the new law.
The government engineer stationed
here, J. V. Phillips, has made COM
prehensive survey Of the proposed
district and the land owners are go
ing to carry out his recommenda-
tions.
The drainage work proposed for
the Gwinnett county district includes
the construction Of ditch eight miles
long, with varying depth Of from five
to seven feet, and a width at the
bottom of from sixteen to eighteen
feet. The watershed surveyed in
cludes about $4,000 acres.
In his report Mr.. Phillips states the
rainfall annually in the district COW
cred by the watershed is from so to
55 inches. The drainage improve
ments, however, are based on the run
off from heavy storm of twenty-four
to eorty-eight hours duration rather
than upon figures for long periods
The cost estimate per acre is higher
than what average drainage work caI
be accomplished for because there
will be quite bit of rock to move
to carry out the scheme.
Should the dredge and attachments
be sold by the district after the work
is completed the cost will be reduced
proportionately 1t is estimated that
for the 620 acres to be directly ben
Gifted the cost, less the sale Of ma
chinery, will approximate $4,000.

are that he will soon pay the death
penalty.
