UTTLEJOHN CO. JONESVILLE, S.C WATER WORKS!? 1 I The Meeting end whit was don. The citizens were not slow ? accept the invitation extended tl^m i>j the il/uyor and Council last w&k tt meet in the court house and disctit* the question of Water Works. Bj half past seven, the appointed time quite a number of representative^ business tuen of the town had assembled in the court house, and were busilj conversing one with another about the subject before them. It ^couhi be seen at once that there was great unanimity among them, and that they all wanted water works. Thus they talked until half past seven was fully come, when on motion of Capt. F. 31. Farr, Mr. J. A. Fant was elected Chairman of the meeting and Mr. B. F. Arthur Secretary. Mr. Fant then stated that the object of the meeting was to get the senti ment and opinion of tlie citizens in in regard to public water works for the town. Someone asked what it would cost. The chairman did not know, exactly, and therefore said that he did not know. Several members of the convention replied ftimosi. hi once mat it would cost iti the neighborhood of $-0,000. Mr. Duncan explained that the cost would depend in a great measure on where the water supply was gotten from. lie said that with the available water supply. mentioning Buffalo Creek, the system would not cost over $25,000. at the very outside. , Someone wanted to'know what dirferer.ee the water works would^uakJ m the rates of insurance, Tlra< information could not be^given". Capt. Farr .and Mr. E. Nicholson both being well acquainted with .tire insure ance said that the rato of insurance would dopend on the position f the hydrants and the pressure, r? iters which could not be determined at Una stage. * Mr. Duncan addressed thtfc'iiur and said that jjf thrown wanted water works the proper tiling to dotfwbuld' be to get the Legislature to B?ps ail act authorizing the town iu a Sum aavn .-*cfki td cbWtnict '(ne water works, got the money for the bonds and go to work. That wc would have to have water works sooner or later. That the town was growing, had about three thousand population now, and in the course of. two or three years would, doubtless, nave not less than six or seven thousand. lie said that aside from the j reduction in insurance the wa.jr work ; j would bring in considerable revenue j .rorn service to citizens and corporations, and would in sill probability about pay for itself in the eourst of en years. lie ssiid thai a committee dieulubc appointed to make the proper arrangements for the pairing of j it1 act by the Legid?iur\ author!;? i lr.g .he town to bond itself for the | water works. Juubve taking his sea. ue mow .1 Thai the. town establish Wir'to* Woej. s at the expense of the town, plaeinj ihe limit of cost at ?:M,U00. I'his out ion being seconded wa> una i uou- 'y earned, (hi mo ion I'm chairman appointed Moss. V. C. Duncan, K. -Nicholson, and Win. Munr?, a committee to make investigations as to the cost of water works andul>o to procure the passage of n act authorizing the bonding of the town. By another motion Mr. J. .V. Fant was added to the committer, sxo'Ji cio as M ay or of the Town. On motion the meeting adjourneu* For harmony and business this was one of the best meetings wo have ever seen, "'here w as plenty of enthusiasm, but it was manifested in a sober businesslike way. From the character, however, of the men com posing the assembly nothing Oi-c oould have been exj ectcd.

Atlanta is certainly a hustling thriving, city. The Equitbuilding itself is equal to a email ' town. It is a lire prof building eight stories high has eight hundred rooms with five elevators that are kept busy all the time carrying peo-' pie up aud down that have business in the building. There are four thousand people that work in this building. The Union Depot is an other lively place. Forty live trains arrive and the same number depart every twenty four honrs and they are all packed with people coming and going and everything works like clock work. Board and lunch is cheap. Boarding houses are only charging one dollar and twenty five per day. Ten dollars will carry one person there and give them two days in the exposition and one day in the city and return. Everybody ought to go. Several of our people atttended the State Fair and they report it a good exhibition. Others will attend gala week in Charleston in December. Ail tins goes to show that our people have money and are enjoying a good social time. Herbert Fowler a boy of fifteen years old shot himself aceidently with a shot gun last Saturday whiie hunting.
