In another coluuiii will he found an advertisement aigned by F. K. Som mer, Jntendaut of ,Aiken v calling a meeting of citistens at tlie Town Hall on Monday, May 91 h. Tlio object oi this meeting is to obtain a full ex pression of opinion from our citizens on the subject of an adequate snpjdx of water for the town. The subject is one of sued) great imjsortauce that \\< have liar|*ed upon it in these columns until we have almost grown weary, but still we have hope. Our present p-ecaiious and inadequate water siij • ply is a constant menace to life ami pro|H-rt>, Viewed from any stand point, whether as a sanitary measur* or as a protection against fire, some tiling ought to be done and that right speedily. Our deep wells, with then scanty supply of water, barely furnish enough for drinking purposes, and re quire frequent cleaning out in order to keep the water of pure quality. O cisterns wo have but few, and thei are frequeully dry at the very tiiin most needed. Under this conditioi of tilings it becomes us as an enlight ened eommnulty to make some or gauized effort to secure a system o liydraiits tlirougliout our town which will furnish an adequate supply foi ail purposes. An artesian well has b *en suggested, so also lias (,oi d 8.»ring and Barton’s Bond and Calico H.iring. In regard to these threi r turees of supply we are prepared t« endorse whiciiever can be shown as th-j one offering a sufficient supply o: pure water at the least cost. We an wedded to no special plan; all ilia’ we ask is a plenty of pure water. Fo household purposes we might hungh along for several years with our pres ent inadequate supply, although dur iug a dry spell it is a common thing to see casks of water hauled througl our streets, from long distances, to fur nish citizens of our town with drink iug water, Bad a» this is, it is nothing compared to the hourly danger that we run from fire. Far better would it be for the people to take time by tin forelock and by a judicious invest ment in water works avoid a eatas- o nil-,, itiitt which has I>efa 1 len The Calhoun Statue.

A Mistake. The Sunday Xcira and Courier pub lishes the following among 4 'Para- graghs of Personal Interest "‘It is said that the Epi ♦copal churches of Aikerf and Orangeburg will unite in calling the Rev. Mr. Barron, an English clergyman, to their pasto rate.” There arc so many ways In which mistakes may occur in a newspaper of tiee that it is useless to speculate how such an error could have crept into the columns of our city cotemporary. We take this occasion however to.say that the Episcopal Church of Aiken is one ofthe most important parishes outside of Charleston in tli's diocese, and that Lis a separate and distinct charge ac ceptably’ filled by the Rev. Event' C. EJgerton who has held the position for the la>t sixteen years. The Orange burg church is probably making an effort to secure the services of a min ister in conjunction with some othei parish and in this manner the mistake may have occurred.

Tlie Inter-State Commerce Commis sion has been wrestling with the long and short haul across the continent. All tlie transcontinental railways have applied for tlie suspension of the short haul clause, and have put forth as good if not better reasons why it should be done than those that were given and proved sufficient in tlie ease of the Southern railways. It looks as if the Commission will have to serve all alike, although it is a court author ized to decide different ways for each railroad. It can suspend in one case and refuse to dw so in a precisely sim ilar one. While our law-makers are away conveniences and imp’’oveiiieiits a‘ the Capitol which they voted money for are gradually being made. Two new elevators are to be put in place- one at the Senate end and one at the House end of tlie building. There will then be four eleva/ors in the Capitol, one at each of the four coi ners, which will add greatly to tin amvenience of visitors as well as 1 gi lators. The contract for construct ing the two new ones was yesterday awarded to a Chicago company, at tmTigivsT’ ior—tut’" 'tnrrm^AYdHt Vits $27,000. The landscape architect of the Na tionul Capital recently made the grave mistake of setting out evergreen trees on the new marble terrace around the north and west fronts of the Capitol building. The dome has long beet': criticised as looking too large, or out of proportion to tlie rest of (lie struct ure, and the terrace was planned and built for the purpose of increasing tin apparent height of tlie building. Of course these trees break the arch itectural continuity and destroy ab surdly the very illusion of height which the terrace is intended to cre ate. Instead of seeming the base oi tin* Capitol facade the terrace now looks like a wall around the Capitol. Mi-s Mar-ball. Miss Sloan, Miss Hill, Miss Gayer.
