Bailroad Hacket. A runner is current to the fcSect that the Coast Line E. It. has changed its programme about extending a branch road fror? Sumter to Camden, and inst3.-.d will run the road be? tween Camden and Lynches Creek and tap the 3C's il. IL at Cershaw. We cannot understand what is io be gained by such a move, aad it cannot bc done until their charter is amended. It is poss:ldc that their tactics are like those of ail the other railroads that he.ve been built in this State since lae war. They want to force the sections through which they pass io subscribe liberally towards bunding the read, and wii] make all kinds of thre.-.is about going around a town or township if ikey refuse to subscribe-?ike the proposed South Hound Railroad is now doing, and like 3C's did do before it was built. if there is any money to he made out of the road, then ?et the officials pay for its construc? tion. It is a money-making scheme on their part, or they would not build it, and not for any love they have for the people along the line. Railroads are good institutions, but we think it is nothing but right and proper that the men who are to reap tho profits in .be investment should pay for it.- Camden JotiT?.al. ' j Piivateer.

Editor of the Watchman ,y Southron : A few words about cur drinking -rater from one who, perhaps, has not the right to claim to be an expert may be of interest to so many of your readers as will justify thc space occupied in your columns. It is already a matter of notoriety that an experiment has been made to obtain pure water in Sumter from depths beneath at least one stratum of rock, in this experiment it became necessary to perform a most difficult feat, no less than driving six inch, wrought iron pipe, one-half inch thick, through 94 feet of sand wl;ich overlay the first stratum of rock. (This can be appreciated somewhat when it is remem? bered that the best pile-driver is thought to do remarkable work if it drives an 8-inch plank through 25 feet of sand.) Succeeding in this, the next task of the ,(non-expeit*' was to go through the rock which proved, according to his unsophisti? cated judgment, to he 5 feet thick. This was ?asi?y accomplished and immediately _ a stream of cold, pure water came nj) within 5 ieet cf the surface. This was thc desireratnrn, int the drilling was continued in the hope cf obtaining a seif-?owing well. ^ The pipe was driven down with all ease for SC feet which brought to the rock the collar :hat joined the first section of pipe to the one :bovc it. Here was made apparent the great mistake of the "non-expert" who, against ?is convictions, had been laughed by tho >ther unprofessional non-experts into believ ng that the supposed 5 fret o? rock was not ;ven so many indies. It is the custom of most weli-driilers on ?caching reek to insert smaller pipe and driva t down to thc next rock, and so on to the :nd of the chapter, because of the difficulty, f not impossibility of driving the collar brough the rock which had been perforated >aly sufficiently to admit the pipe. Accord ng to this practice it was a mistake to drive he first pipe through the rock ; smaller ;hould have been inserted from the top. But here is an improved practice. An enlarger s attached above the drill point and with it he rock is cut away below the pipe so that he collar wiii readily pass through. Thc 'non-expert" is free to confess that he has mite recently made the acquaintance of this mlarger. The effort was made to drive the collar brough the rock and this was effected by legrees. an inch in an hour now, and DOW n two hours, until 2\ feet wa3 accomplished. The same slow precess continued would make : clear track fer the pipe with all its collars brough this first stratum of rock. On j caching thc next, an enlarger (costing 850 toilars) would obviate all difficn' y, and the veight of the pipe continually increasing venid give an increasing rapidity to thc cx .uticr. of thc idle-driver. It is true that at a iepth of 543 feet, 30 feet below the foot of the ?ipe, a fine stream cf mineral water, largely rnpregnated with iron and sulphur, comes n and rises within about 7 feet of the surface. Tafter analysis, this watcrshould not be found vorthy to be kept at command, then it is per? ce t ly practicable tc continue thc well and to irivp ss far as necessary the same pine. In Georgetown it was necessary to use only ;0 feet of pine in a well 353 feet deep. Strata >f rock amounting in all to 10 feet were pass d through, and thy strong probability was hat when saud was reached there would be vater ir?*a self-Sowing stream. The "ccn-ex .ert" at Georgetown after his experience with [uicksand in Sumter, knows that he struck ?one at Georgetown as he feared on reaching :53 feet where (not his patience but) his coney gave out. Should any one desire to know some of the roubles of experts-real. bona-Sde, simon? rare, 24 carats fine experts in drilling artesian veils, he need not go elsewhere than to the ard of the railway shops at Florence. iVithin a few y.nrds of each other, he will find wo wells both of which are considerably iver 400 feet. In the first thc water came vitbin 18 feet of thc surface (ns indeed, in he ether.) and a deep well pump was insert d. The water was excellent, and "ali went nerry as a marriage bell" until the pump ;roke in such a way as to render the well :se!ess. The second weil was not completed, md can never be because a joint of pipe got 'cul of joint" and no Hamlet ?tas been born o set ii right. In neither of these wells was my rock encountered. The Railway Com? pany has laid pipe for about a half mile to a ?reeks and keep an engine driving a force )ump all day iong to furnish a supply of vater. It is said that the large-bruiu^d Const "lino Officials r.re anxious to co-operate with he Florence Authorities in sinking new wells, o that their employees and their ian.Ties may lave thc blessings always r?sultat.! from the ise of pure water. In Albany, Ga., there aro 13 flowing wells, md the city that was one? a terror to residents md sojourners ha3 become n city of refuge rem febrile foes. We fevers proved to have ;een U34di*qa<:OU5 and not malarial, as from imo inmemorial had been thought. Bruns? wick, Ga., ha? had a like experience. .The .non-expert" pauses herc to beg that he snail ;ot be thought a profane intruder in thc acred domains of medica: science, when he xpresses the opinion that thc dreaded typhoid Vver and its cognates, were they conscious x-iugs, would themselves dread nothing so nuch as deep well witter. A husband and father will readily invest 53?O and often more in a horse and buggy br the pleasure drives of his family. is it ?ot strange lha? he thinks lightly of a pro ?osition to invest half a? much, or ie;;?, in a veil IOU feet deep that wiil pive au unfailing lupply cf water to those he loves test? The iiorses must bc fed three times a day, the ?>cggy and harness mended, eral" be replaced, vhil-thv w 1: water, :ik? the poet's brook, joes on. forever. Finally, as ti.e preachers tay when half brough their sermons, let it 1 e remembers! hatSumter can at least congratulate herself when w;-h bs-r increased and increasing ?cp?lation the plagues boru of surface water >eg;n tc nm-.-, wilder work, site possesses, vi thin easy reach of her jeweled ?.?and, the il-rr currency which will make rich with thc veal th cf health her surviving 30ns and laughters.
