In the circumstances, however, there is no legal or other obstacle in the way of the town's furnishing water to its citizens at cost. The water is there available, and the citizen who at once puts back what he takes out does not impose upon his fellow owners of the plant. To find out the cost of putting a gallon of water in the standpipe requires the simplest calculation. The result of the calculation shows the price that can be fairly charged the citizen in the present circumstances for taking a gallon of water out of the standpipe. If the town had the legal right to engage in the water business ' and should decide to sell water to citizens at a profit, then reason and jus- ( tice would say that the town should . furnish the gallon pot. If the citizens < expects to use the town's water on the i sole condition that he put back as 1 much as he uses, then be should bear ] the expense of the gallon pot through which measurement should be made, j Although law, equity and reason all t back up the proposition that the citi- 1 zen is entitled to the use of the pub- < lie water at actual cost, in view of the great convenience and trifling exnensR. there are few who would object i r" * r to paying a profit of 100 per cent. But the deeper the municipality dips into the water business for profit, the more numerous and vexatious will be the complications in which it will become ? entangled. The whole question is not so important from the standpoint of dollars and cents as from the standpoint of fundamental principles. LOCAL LACONIC9. Until January 1st, 1901.

I Fighting the Grass. | On account of the continued rains, ' grass is booming everywhere, and 1 judging from the consensus of the re- ' ports received from different farmers, | there is to be a harder fight this year than for years past.

Next Wednesday, the Fourth, will f be observed in Yorkville by a pretty general suspension of business. The ^ reporter has not made the round of 1 the entire town ; but the understand- ^ ing is that the stores will be closed. ( ? Since the closing of the Baptist < High School, thieves have stolen some 1 $500 worth of lead plumbing from the ( King's Mountain Military academy 1 building. If the guilty parties can be * discovered it is likely that some of 1 them will have to sweat. * ? For revenue or not ? This is the * vital question in connection with the ' conduct of the local water plant. If i < the plant is to be conducted for revenue, then there must be authority from the general assembly. As matters < now stand, the municipality cannot ' legally engage in the water, or any ' svthai. knainnaa Thft fact that it haS * road. The survey, via Cook's Gap, has been completed to Lenoir, and the BDgineers will now begin a survey via John's River and Grandmother Gap. The route via Cook's Gap i9 entirely practicable, and if the people interested i along that line offer proper encouragement, there is little doubt about its being the line chosen. 1 Children's Day at Antloeh.

Suggs, of Enquirer, was in j Sforkville on Tuesday, and a short | jonversation that the reporter had with I Jatialnniul thai ho in varv much 1 U1UJ UOTV1VJ/VU VUMV ^ nterested in the road question. He thinks that the candidates for the general assembly ought to express :hemselves on this subject, and especially to say whether or not they ire willing to try to secure the passage )f a bill to carry out the provision of the constitution intended to give townships the right to vote bonds for oad improvement. Mr. Suggs says that if no one else raises the question n the campaign, he will do it himself, so the candidates had better prepare themselves to discuss the matter seniibly at the opening meeting at Barrett's Mountain. THE STATE CAMPAIGN. tome of the Incidents and Features of the State Canrass. At Sumter, the other day, it was igreed among the campaigners that gubernatorial candidates should have : JO minutes each, and the others 10 ninutes each. All were satisfied with ;his arrangement except Mr. Patterson, ivho claims that the time is too short n which to say his say. Colonel Knox Livingston, senator Tom Marlboro, and candidate for lieu- 1 /enant governor, who had not previousy appeared on the stump, joined the jampaigners at Sumter. He announced 1 aimself as a genuine Prohibitionist 8 Tom a county that had been prohibition for 60 years. He said that during lis service in the legislature he had lean voting for everv genuine prohibi- i t,ion bill presented. 5 At Sumter, McDonald Furman called c ittention to the number of Garys that have held office since 1890. Mr. Gary replied that they had held offices because of their ability, and the ability >f his kin people should not prejudice a ois own case. He was cheered. ] Mr. Patterson has been making an ssue against the newspapers. At Sumter be began to specify in favor of ;he county papers as against the daily papers. He thought the county papers ^ were generally all right, while the r daily papers are generally all wrong. J. H. Tillman is devoting himself principally to the policy of twitting tiis fellow candidates. He asked, at ~ Sumter, what Colonel Hoyt would jay to the governor of North Carolina n the event of his election, etc. Colonel Patterson is endeavoring to make it appear that Colonel Hoyt is f jommitted in favor of an alliance be- t ;ween the Prohibitionists and high li- c jense people. Colonel Hoyt denies 4 hat he has ever advocated such an illiance, or that he is willing to make iny concessions whatever to high license as against prohibition. He considers the dispensary the next best :hing after prohibition, and thinks that f prohibition is not secured, then ;here should be a better enforcement )f the dispensary law.

Senator McLaurin has been notified by the secretary of war to nominate a oadet for West Point on or before July 10. The senator will be in Columbia on July 3 for the purpose of making a selection, and requests all applicants to meet him in that city on that day. Short Terra in Lancaster. The term of the sessions court in Lancaster this week was the shortest on record for that county. Court convened at 10 o'clock, and at 12 Judge Benet discharged the petit jurors from further attendance. Court then took a recess to allow the grand jury time in which to make up its final report and adjourned on Tuesday. The business of the term was not especially light; but all the jurors were farmers, who were anxious to be in their crops. Could Not Understand the Change.?Mail advices from the Orient, says a?Seattle, Washington dispatch, give particulars of a strong rebellion in progress in Baratonga, a Pacific island under the British flag in the South Seas. The uprising has spread over the whole island and the nut.ivpA are advancing on the EuroDean settlement along the coast, and are threatening the capital. If it were not for the war in South Africa and the Chinese disturbances, the rebellion would create world-wide comment, not only on account of its >eing a struggle between the populace ind the aristocracy ; but through its inique features. Not understanding the disturbing effects of the 180th degree of longitude, he first missionaries set the usual day, Sunday, for worship. As is well-known it the degree of longitude mentioned, the days jump back twenty-four hours. Discovering this mistake, the Christian eaders of the island attempted to rectify it. Upon urging, the change the Christians aroused a sullen resentDent. Thinking that the white people vere deceiving them all along, the latives began butchering and murderng on all sides. The greatest carnage and murder ire being witnessed. Over 50 Europeans have already been killed. Along the Old Alignment.?A prominent member of Emperor Wiliam's entourage, says a Berlin dispatch, who has just returned to Berlin From Kiel, where the emperor is, says that his majesty and Count von Bueow, the foreign minister, are consideribly perplexed as to how Germany is to meet the present situation in China, nasmuch as they are inclined to think that a much larger force of troops will become necessary to carry the campaign there to a successful issue. Both ire also convinced that Germany will >ear her full share of the responsibilities. Meanwhile disquieting reports con ;inue to arrive from Kiao Chau, where jrovemor Jaeschke fears that an outbreak may occur at any moment, prelipitating a general revolt and the ir uption into the German sphere of large bands of Boxers known to be in the lurroijnding district in the province of Shan Tung. Moreover, it is understood that Emberor William has not yet decided vhether to continue the former entente sordiale with Russia and France in Uhina as after the China-Japanese war, >r to turn more to the side of England, he United States and Japan.
