Mr. Editor: I notice in your issue of this morning a mention of water work*, for the town. It is eminently proper to nave the matter discussed; others should join you and tne discussion should not end till they are completed. But with your permission, I should like fco change the word "expense" in the phrase, "at the expense 01 the taxpayers" to investment. The succe?1 "t every such undertaking depend.- u on whi-ttier people consider it the one or ihe other. As long as they look at it as an expense, it w a dead issue; as soon as they consider it an investment, it takes on life and bex lienor rfiftlilv. Snr.h an enter pri?e r*">'elyand wholly au investment; i. s as free from the element of ex. - as any other investment. If a to .vn issues $40,000 in bonds for a plan! for water works and electric ' lights, it is an investment and a most paying one It differs from an investment in factory stock or bonds in that its dividends always come indirectly, but they come no less sorely and on an ever io creasing scale. Many of the interior towns of this State?some no larger than this?have made similar investments and have pronounced them a success. Winnsboro would do well to imitate their example; the matter is well worthy of immediate consideration. Very well do I remember when the ground was first broken tor the water works of Spartanburg. It was at the beginning of that city's rapidly increasing prosperity. A few days after, a twelve-year-old boy, at the house where I was boarding, came in from school and with unbounded joy announced the fact that Spartanburg was to have a great female col lege. The wa*er works were completed; Converse College came; factories followed; and the Spartanburg town of 3,500 ton years ago is to-day a small city- of more than 10,000 and with UnPo'iAeo AVk/3 * r\ f rtl tl O 1 ftotltrifr uuoiutjao auu avuiiv; than any tc?,wn in the State. I imagine the Winasboro lads at the certain announcement of water works and electric lights would give unheard-of expressions of delight and patriotism in these regions. Let the boys have a chance.

The community was greatly saddened by the death of Mrs. David Robertson, which occured at her home in lowfi* Longtown on Monday. The deceased h id been in declining health for seme lime. Death, however, came almost wholly unexpected. Heart failure was the immediate cause of her death. Tiie funeral services were held a? the Ridgeway Baptist Church of which the deceafed was a consistent member. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. L. Freeman. The remains were carried to Columo-a for interment. Mrs. Robertson was & most estimable Christian lady?one who will be greatly missed ' by her friends. The deceased leaves besides her husband a daughter, Mrs. ' C. P. V,7ray, of Ridgeway, to mourn heHoss.

Corn planted j in March is looking well; there is some complaint of defective stands. Cotton is Pi^mincr nn rirvlv since the recent rain; the acreage is somewhat smaller than last year. Small grain is not doing so well; haven't had dnfficient rain for it. Gardens are looking nicely; plenty of tnrnips, lettuce, radifh'.s, | onions, etc., ready for table use.
