This water, & which for years was used satisfactory rily without filtration, is now sub?

A. .leffri -s, a veritable genius in engineering, who won fame in Spartanburg in the early days as th_? only man who could make the "dummy" engine run, before the days of the electric railway, is in charge of th? pumping station. His assistant is J. S. Moore and fireman, F. B. Green. Mr. Jeffries has instituted a number of devices for the safety and efficiency tif the system. The engine room is equipped with two Dean engines of 120 horse-power capacity.

The neces sity for using this has not arisen this year, but in the course of time ant when the demand grows, this statiot may be operated and if the eitj should ever outgrow the supply o these copious creeks, the Sh<:al> pipes, which run under Lawson': Fork, can be tapped in a few hour: and enough water had to supply New York city; so Spartanburg has verj little likelihood of having to face f water famine for several hundrec years at least.
