Bn?ding ur? Bennett
Bennettsville, Special.-The board
of public works for Bennettsville
has let thc contract for water works
to Messrs. Abee & Edwards, of Hick- ;
ory. "N. C. The contract amounts to
nearly $27,000 and provides for about
six miles of work. The water supply
will be obtained from wells to be
sunk on the lot on which is situated
the power house. The plan provides
not for a de?p well, but for a. suf
ficient number of wells from 80 to
100 feet deep to supply the town with
water. This plan was adopted on
account of the splendid water to bo
obtained from such wells and also ;
on account of the uncertainty of the-'
cietp well in this section. The stand
pipe will be erected on the site uow j
occupied by the ma- ket, which is on
the northwest corner of the Court]
House square near the centre of the J
business portion of the town. It will
be about 180 feet high and have a
capacity of 100,000 gallons or more.

anrighted; others that it is vicious
and shows signs of attacking them.
