We iublish herewith the cstimat( imade by r. \. C. \Vhitner a, t) thin c' . of c.tablisliiig a system of watet w orks ami electric lights. His estimat& is as to thwe costof establishing a plant t< furnish water and lights for the whok town. What we want to get at is what it will cost the town per annum for some cornpany to furnish water and ligihts. The council is securing othei in formation and will submit a full and cornplete report. \\ ater and lights ought to go to gether. The meeting will be called a soon as all the inlformation is received. To lion. .1. K. P. (oggans, Mayor, of -Newberry, S. C. DEAR slit: In reply toyour request, to give you somie idea of t lie cost of a sVste~m of water works and electric liglits for your city, I beg leave to sub iit the following: A system of watel works, giving your city complete pro tection from fire, and furuishing an abundant supply of water for domestic purposes, would cost about $S,000, Suci a systemt would extend all ovel the city, and give protection through about o double nozzle hydrants. Tht ordinary pressure-frotm the stand pipe, in the business portiou of the towr would be about 5. pounds, which would throw a streai 75 feet high. ''ht pumps would be in duplicate, and of such capacity as to furnish not less than four hydrant streams. A systeni of electric lights, furnish ing both arc and incandescent lights, for streets and domestic lights, would cost about $15,000. Such a system would consist of duplicate machinery, and would be so arranged, that the street lights could be operated independent of domestic lights and vice versa. If both plants were combined so as to be operated together, they could be built for $60,00u. And this would be by far the most economical arrangement for operation. With both plants com bined, you ought to be able to get your streets lit by electricity for about the same sum you are now paying to have them lighted by lamps, besides giving your citizens an opportunity to light their business houses and residences with this convenient and superior light. One of the greatest advantages aris ing from combining the two plants is, that your engineer is always at his post during the night, with a full supply of steam, and can at moment's notice put his pumps to work in the event there should be a large coniilagration, exhaust ing the supply of water in the stan pipe, and thus decreasing the effective pressure. This arrangement is very desirable, and is apt to have consider able weight with insurance, companies in reducing their rates. Trustiag the above may be of some service to you, I am very respectfully yours, WI. C. WHITNER. New berry, S. C., Feb. 19th, 1891. All of the White Chief's Remedies can be found at R. C.

This is good news for the employes of the road. THE RECEIVERSHIP FOR THE SOUTH CAROLINA DIVISION. [The State, 22nd.] The former general manager of the Three C's Railroad, Col. R. A.

At pres ent the road is only in the hands of a temporary receiver. Now the old road authorities will be requested to show cause why it should not be turned over to a permanent receiver.
