Your editorial of two weeks ago concerning i tbe use of water from the "Rucker Springs" for city purposes, having come to my atten- i tlon, I thought it would not be amiss to sug- ] gesta much more practicable as well as more i economical plan of obtaining an abundant f supply of pure water at a less cost than pumping from such a depth as is done at Ab- i beville. ( While in tbe city I visited the pumping sta- i tlon a number ot times and learned that tbe water in the deep well rises to within three ' leet of the surface of the earth, and that it bas never fallen below that since tbe comple- , tlon of tbe well. The water Is raised by means of a "deep well pump," the working barrel and valves of which are placed one hundred feet below the surface, 60 that every stroke tbe pump is compelled to lift a column of water one hundred feet high, which means ' an additional pressure against the pump of 1 forty-three pounds to the square inch. Of : course this means a great deul of additional coal burned and extra expense to the city. Tbe water is lifted by this pump Into an underground reservoir, whence it is raised by the large Wortblngton fire pump and driven through tbe mains Into the standplpe. Now why not make the well sell-flowing Jn- ; stead of laying terra cotta piping to distant springs. This could easily be done by placlu-b' a "tee joint" in tbe well casing at, say, Ave feet below the surface and running a three Inch pipe from it Into the reservoir mention- , ed above. It stands to reason that if tbe wa- 1 ter stands at a level three feet below the sur- f face there would be a constant flow through { a pipe laid at a level of flve feet below, into 1 an underground reservoir twelve or fliteen 1 feet deep, and long and broad enough to 1 uatch a supply of water sufficient for .the 1 city's daily need. As tbe large pump nas a capacity ui uuobalf million gallons per day, a sufficient supply could be pumped up by Ave or six hours runniug each day, and an efficient lire pressure could be constantly maintained. As it is now only a twelve or fifteen hours' flow from tbe well is gotten at great expense, then a twenty-four hours flow is obtained at o expense whatever, except to tap tbe casing In th& well and enlarge tbe reuervolr to a capacity sufficient to bold a day's supply, say uinety or ooe hundred thousand gallons. This expense of eularglng the reservoir seems to have been the only hindrance to tbe commissioners in following this plan suggested some months ago, and if the funds were Forthcoming, I firmly believe the operating expenses would be reduced one-lblrd, and the plan would pay for itself in three months time. Moreover there would be an abundant Bupply in case of a large fire where it was necessary to pump direct, Tbe deep well pump need not be moved at-all and could remain there for use In case tbe level of the water should for any reason fall below tbe three feet where it now stands.

Tbe meeting was well attended and tbe members determined that Abbeville Bhould occupy the most promlDent place in the picture of the 8tate Malitla.

I DIDN'T GET PEG LEG, What tbe Oovernor of Georgia Nays About South Carolina's Requisition. Deputy Sheriff Nance went to Atlanta Monday night with a requisition from tbe Governor of Sooth Carolina upon the Governor of Georgia, for the surrender of R. A. Williams, tbe gentleman who Is wanted Id this county because of bl3 recent connection with some emigration business at Calhoun Falls. Deputy Sheriff Nanoe returned trom Atlanta yesterday evening over tbe Seaboard. About fifty boys of all sorts and conditions were at the station, quietly awaiting tbe arrival of tbe train. When the cars stopped every door was watched. Soon somebody seeing the Deputy Sheriff come out on tbe 1 platform of a coacb,cried out: "Herahe Is." There was a sudden and rapid movement In I tbe direction of the voice, but. there was much disappointment at not seeing Mr. Wll- i Hams. . i The Governor of Georgia thought Deputy Sheriff Nance's papers were defective, and the prisoner was not surrendered. Mr. Nance will make another effort to perfect his papers. The public may be prepared for a disappointment, If It Is expected that Williams will be punished. He is reported to be rich, 1 and it Is Bald tbatthe law Is unconstitutional. We are not able to speak advisedly as to the i law, but we believe that the re-appearance of Williams at Calhoun Falls would be "unconstitutional" as farastbat particular Individual Is concerned. KING SOLOMON. . The Father of All the Masons. A Mount Carmel little girl caught the fever from attending a high school commencement and wrote the following et-say : King Solomon was a man who lived ever so many years ago, and In the country that be governed he was the whole push. He was an awful nice man and one day two women came to him, each holding onto the leg of a baby, aud nearly pulling It in two, and both claiming it. King Solomon wasn't feeling right good and he said: "Why couldn't the brat have been twins and stopped this bother?" And be called for his sword, aud wan going to chop the kid in two, and give each ot them a piece of it, when the one who was the real mother, said: "Stop, Solomon; stay thy hand. Let the old hag have 1!. If I cant have u urhnlct hu!\u T Hr\r** iirunl or>t? " Thon oraon tolil ber to take the baby and go home and wash Uk lace, for he knew It was hers; and he told the other woman to go chase herself. King Solomon built Solomon's Temple, and was the father of all the Masons. He had 700 wives and 8U0 lady friends, and that Is why there are so many Masons In the world. My papa says that King Solomon was a warm member, and I think he was hot stuir. That's all 1 know about King Solomon. Go to J. It.

Dr. Bodie Matthews, of Elberton, came over Tuesday, and after looking around decided to looate here for the practice of medicine. He will come over Tuesday. There was a wreck on the Savannah Valley railroad a short distance above here Tuesday, of the extra freight train. The conductor, Capt. Allby, was right smartly bruised up; one negro had one of his legs broken, and another negro had an arm broken. A neero wile-beater was before Trial Justice Huckabee Tuesday. The matter was amicably adjusted and the accuser and the accused went on their way rejoicing. A large drove of wild geese passed over this place Saturday evening going north. Master Willie Latimer and Master George Connor, of Abbeville, came up Friday, and were the guests ol Mr. J. T. Latimer till yesterday. Subscriptions are being taken to bnlld and ?qulp a cotton seed oil mill in this place. From the amount subscribed It Is safe to say that this long felt want In this section will soon be realized. Same of the land that was seeded to small ?rain some time ago gives so little promise >f anything like a paying yield, that it Is aelng plowed up and sowed to oats. 'PEG LEG" WILLIAMS AND CALHOJTN FALLS. In view of what was said of these two In ast week's Press and Banner a few more words may noi be out of place. The one has :aused a great deal of excitement and trouble n and for miles around the other. The first ivas at Williamson a few years ago and by lis actions so destroyed the sympathy gener?lly called forth by one so afflicted. was called "Peg Leg'' Williams, and bis baptismal lame, K. A., is almost lost sight of. Sometime ago be came to Calhoun Falls and began lis work ol enticing lobor, and by bis promses succeeded In Inducing a great many ot he negroes to get in the notion of violating their contracts. This, as might have been txpected, gave promise of being so injurious .0 the merchants and others wjio bad advanced for them, aDd to the landholders? jiack hr well as white?thsl tbey were forced ay self-interest to resolve to Interfere. This spirit of emigration assumed such proportions that the whole section was menaced by i labor famlue. Some four or five of the noBt active negroes in persuading others to 1 eave were taken up and whipped. By the ivay.lt Is a well-known fact that with some people, through their skin is the most direct ind effective way of reaching and and cor:orrecting their faults. It Is very true, that ;bere is another way of reaching sucn cases, . e., mrougn law cuanneis; nut sometimes lei ay n are vexatious, and tbe endn of Justice ire reached when too late. It would doubt ess have been so lu tbe Calhoun Falls case, rbere was an effort made tor some time to lud out tbe main disturber, but without ivall, and the only alternative left was tbe alan adopted, and It worked like a charm. Li&st Wednesday not a negro was at the Falls ;o go. and It is hoped, as Williams has been irreHied, and as there t?re several counts 1 igalust him, that be will be oat of tbe busl less forsome time, and It would be decidedly sest for him to stay out, at least where be has leretofore operated, as there are some, perhaps. who would give him a safe passage icross tbe river Styx; others of a different :emperament would be satisfied to take a land, and perhaps two, in using the rod jpon him mentioned by Solomon, as be Is a very much spoiled cblld when It comes to nterferlng with other people's business; jtbers again, would gladly contribute toward jiving him a brand new suit of tar and feathers, and telling him to leave and stay left. In ustlce to at least some of tbe citizens of that jart of the country, It may be said that they :old their hands when tbe trouble first began, if they would pay them what, they owed hem, tbat they would not try to prevent ,bem from going, which plainly shows that larub measurss would not have been resorted ,o If It could have beeD helped, but desperate llseases require desperate remedies.

American* Capture The City of Paslg?Thirty Filipinos Killed In Engagement?Americans Did Not Lose a Man Bat Six Are Wonnded?Ships from Dewey's Fleet Take a Hand lu the Fight? Agalnaldo's Men Forced to Retreat. Manila, March 13.?At daylight todav Brigadier General Lloyd Wheaton's divisional brigade coDSiBtlng of the Twentieth United States Infantry, the Twenty-second infantry, eight companies of the Washington volunteers, seven companies of the Oregon volunteers, three troops of the Fourth United States cavalry and a mounted battery of the Sixth artillery, was drawn up on a ridge behind San Pedro Macati, a mile south of the town. The advance was sounded at 0.30 a. m., the cavalry leading the column at a smart trot across the open to the right, eventually reach lng a clump commanding me rear 01 Uuadaloupe. Supported by the Oregon volunteers the advance force opened a heavy Are on the rebels. Tne response was feeble and desultory, apparently coming from handsful of men In every covert. While the right column was swinging towards the town of Pasig, the left advanced pouring volleys Into the bush. A small body of rebels made a determined stand at Guadaloupe church, but the enemy was unable to withstand the assault. At 7.80 a. m.. a river boat started towards Pasig. The rebels were first encountered by this vessel In the Jungle near Guadaloupe. Steaming slowly, the gunboat poured a terrfflc fire from her Galling guns Into the brush. For all of an hour the whirring of the rapid fire guns alternated with the booming of the heavier pieces on board. In the meantime Scott's battery ashore was shelling the trenches and driving the enemy back. The artillery thea advanced to the ridge of bamboo and drove a few of the enemy's sharpshooters away with volleys from their carbines. The artillery then advanced and met with little opposition. In the meantime the Infantry bad been sent forward in extended order, the Washington regiment resting on the bank of the ridge, each regiment deploying on right station and furnishing Its own supports. The entire column then wheeled towards the river, driving the enemy towards hiB supports and then advanced on Guadaloupe. The artillery moved to a ridge commanding Pasig and Barteros. By this time the enemy was In full flight along atilne over a mile long and the firing was discontinued temporarily in order to give the troops a rest before making the attack on Pasig. The enemy's loss was believed to be severe but only elgnt Americans were wounded, At this stage of the engagement It was raining heavily. General Wheaton then attacked andcaptur ea me city or rastg, east or oiamja. ine enemy made a stand for an hour, bat at the end of that time were forced to retreat. The lof-s of tbe Filipinos was thirty killed and sixteen prisoners. Of tbe United States forces six were wounded. LIGHT DRAUGHT SHIPS Are Wanted By Dewey?The Necessity of ^oppressing Filibustering Expeditions tbe Canse of the Request. New York, March 6.?A special from Washington says: The necessity of suppressing filibustering expeditions Is tbe cause of Admiral Dewey asking that the department send bim more vessels of light draught. On account of the number of Philippine Islands, the natives are unable to transport from tbe Asiatic coast a large quantity of munitions of war In small schooners. Admiral Dewey wants a large number of warBbips at bis disposal which can follow such vessels into shallow water. Tbe Wbeellng has already started for Manila and tbe Vixen will go by tbe last of tbls month. The department may send others. The authorities were glad to bear that General Lawton would arrive at Manila about March 10 as be will then be pot in control of tbe military operations thus giving General Otis an opportunity to aid in tbe Philippine commission as well as take care Of the many questions constantly arising. After. General Lawton's arrival one of tbe brigadier generals at Manila will probably be sent to Hollo to relieve General Miller, who will go on the retired list. YIA NICARAGUA CANAL. Facts Wherein Hay Be Fonnd the Basis of Democratic Opposition to the Proposed Great Water Way. In spite of tbe Impetus recently given to geographical study, it is probable tbat ten ont of twelve well-read persons will estimate tbe distance between Liverpool and San Francisco and, via Cape Horn, to be at least one thousand miles longer than from New York to the same port of tbe Golden Gate; but it Is actually -50 miles shorter!?the two routes being respectively 15,090 and 14,840 miles long. Tbe greatest surprise, however is to find tbat New Orleans Is furtber away than either of tbe two cities, being 15,052 miles from San Francisco. When tbe Nicaragua canal is opened this Southern city will be only 4,047 miles from ber Western slater; New York will be a distance of 4,946 miles and Liverpool 7,694 miles. Tbe economy to tbe shipping Interests of England and America alone would pay for tbe caoal twice over in a short time, to say nothing of tbe advantage to commerce of reaching markets hitherto Inaccessible.?Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly.
