any advertisement has been placed there this

satisfied that there are at least 35,000 people
In York oounty who never see the court
house door aud who, therefore, could know
nothing: of any advertisement placed thereon.
The set now iu charge of the South Carolina
college is not a very brilliant one and we
expect a little lusty. It has at least taken the
best course to insure a small attendance
while each of the faculty is assured of drawing
a fat salary throughout the year.

MEASURE THE WATER.
Some Practical HaKgeiillODi on a Subject
Which in Now of Interest to
Onr People.
We believe the more people think about the'
change the town has made lu introducing the
Rystem of measuring water Bold, the more
people will favor It and come to regard It as
the only equitable way to sell water. There
ought to be nothing revolting abont a proposition
to pay simply /or what yon get, neither1
less nor more. The man wbo is usinj more
than he knows be Is entitled to may object,
but be has no Just reason lo do so. It has
been evident for some time the system of no
limitation In the quantity of water used has
made the water cost the town much more
tdan it reoelved for It. This expense the town
could not stand Indefinitely under the present
Bystera of low taxation and economical ad
ministration that must necessarily follow.
The people are averse to more taxes; therefore
it is neceHsary tbat they either curtail the
amount of water used, that the rates, be
raised or that some system be Introduced by I
which the consumer will pay for what
be uses at a rate per thousand gallons
to be agreed on. Some think this
last plan is the proper one, but
tbat they should not furnish the meters. It
Is simply a matter of business and if they furnish
the meters they get the water at a lower
rate; If the town furnishes the meter, tbe consumer
will necessarily have to pay more per
thnnaanri for his water and tbus eventually
defray tbecoBtofthe meter?an operation by
which be buys the meter on the Instalment
plan yet is never entitled to any of tbe benefits
of ownership. In many towns tbe consumer
Is required to furnish the meter. In
other places, where tbe water rate can be
placed nigh enougb, tbe town will furnish tbe
meter. Some expert opinion on this and a
list of rateB of other water using towns might
prove of Interest to our readers.
Mr. S. L. Miller, of Colombia, formerly of
Yorkvllle and still owning considerable
property here has written to a member of tbe
town counoll in reply to some inquiry as to
meter rates. He says:
"Enclosed I send you lists of towns using
meters, furnished by Mr. Wilson tbe engineer,
and tbe rates they cbarge for water,
Chester charges 30 cents per thousand and
Mr. Wilson says It costs Chester 18 cents per
thousand to pump her water and be would
suggest In order to form some idea of what it
takes to pump your water that you would
permit people to continue to use it Just as
they are doing and you keep an itemized expense
of what it costs to pump It, Including
the wages of your engineer. He does not
think you could posllbiy come oat for less
than 35 cents per thousand. He furthermore
staled that it is a very common thing for tbe
water works people to require tbe consumers
to furnish the meters and where tbey do that
they also give tbe consumer tbe right to permit
the company or town to furnish tbe
meter, but In that case tbey require tbe consumer
to pay more for his water. Say for instance
you cbarge tbe consumer 25 cents per
thousand and he will furnish the meter or 35
cents per thousand and tbe town would furnish
tbe meter."

SOUTHERN GETS A. & D.
I)enl Will Probably Do Away With
ArrnngrementM With A. C. L.
Norfolk, Aug. 14.?The report of the sale of
the Atlantic and Danville railway to the
Southern system is confirmed. Negotiations
which have neen in prugieou ouu.v.,u,v
past have been consummated, and tbe Atlantic
and Danville will this fall become an
Integral part of the Southern railway system.
The Southern's trains will probably run over
the newly acquired line to Pinner's Point,
where the Soutoern's great terminals are located.
The arrangement will probably abrogate
the existing trackage arrangement between
tbe Atlantic Coast Line and the Southern
railway, and tbe latter's Norfolk and
Chattanooga express will be run via Danville
instead or through Selma and Kalelgb. It
will not shorten the schedule materially.

DEATH OF J. R, CUNNINGHAM
. t
Some Incidents In tbe La?t Days of a
Former Beloved Citizen of Abbe*
ville.
Chapel Hill, S. C., Miss., Aug. 8,1899.
Editor Press and Banner:
Dear Hir?Thinking it might be of Interest
to you ana maay or toe readers 01 toe press
and Banner to know something of the sickness
and death of the late J. K. Cummlng
ham, I will endeavor to tell you something
about It.
Early In the spring he contracted a cold
which did not get any better, and feeling a
little uneasy about himself, rode about four
miles to see the dootor. After the doctor prescribed
lor him, he started home. Went by
the postofflce to get the mall. About the
time be reached the postofflce he was taken
with severe pains In his body.
Mr. W. M. Buford, who keeps the postofflce,
and who was a very warm friend of his, took
him In his house and seat for the doctor. He
came and administered medicine, which gave
him relief. He stayed with Mr. Buford two
or three days, and was able to go back to Mrs.
F. E. Dorroh's, where he was making bis
home, since the death of her son, as she and
her daughter and little granddaugbter were
alone and wanted him to stay with them for
company.
On the fifth Sabbath In April he rode horsehack
to Lebanon church, about seven mlleB.
When be came home bis feetand ankles were
very much swolen, but by morning the swelling
bad subsided. Every few days his feet and
ankles would swell up, but still he would go
around, visit his nephews and their families
(J.J. and A. H. Liddell) who lived about a
mile from him,and wonld work in blsgarden,
which he took a great pride in, and kept in
fine fix. After a while be gut so be was not
able to get about much. Then he moved over
to the home of J. J. Liddell and spent the remainder
of bis life there.
After be was confined to the house he satin
a chair nearly all the time, as he suffered
from shortness of breath whenever|be would
lie down. He always held family worship
wherever he stayed, and even while he was
sick, be ofiered up some beautiful prayers.
The neighbors were very kind to come and
set up with him and help nurse him. I don't
think I ever saw a more devoted sister than
, was our agea rnoioer, airs. n,. a. ijiaaeu. onu
was continually around bis bedside trying to
do something for him to make him as comfortable
as possible. He continued to grow
worse all the time, but was always glad to see
his friends, and would talk to them whenever
they would come. Two or three days before
the end came he got so he could not talk
much, but would look at those around his
bed and work his tongue as though be were
trying to say something. About two o'clock
Tuesday, the 11th day of July, 1899, he fell
asleep In Jesas. . Relative.
