Wutor, AYsiter, Water.
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-

large numbers on Monday’ next and
discuss this matter in a calm and

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.

A SPECIAT.TY BY

The students of the South Carolina
College have organized two military
companies which have been regularly
enrolled by Adjutant General Bonham
as a part of the militia of the State.
Mr. Cleveland continues to make
friends, notwithstanding the efforts of
the protection organs to undermine
his administration. He grows in
s'rength daily.

Even Edgefield is beginning to fee!
the impulse of the industrial revival
that is spreading over the wbol,
State and the blood of a new civili
zation is running through its veins.
The expected speedV completion ot a
railroad io Edgefield Courthouse has
impressed the business men of that
place with its great importance as the
commercial centre of a large and pros
perous section of country, and they
have gone to work with characteris
tic enterprise to improve their oppor
tunities.
‘‘Handsome two-story concrete
stores.” iiud u oleitlv of paint w‘1 1
villages in the STaTe. nut while they
are building railroads and storehouses
the good people of Edgefield should
not forget that there is one thing that
they’ still lack. They need a biggei
and stronger jail than they’ now have,
and they should not neglect to erect a
stout gallows on which to hang the
men who have done so much to make
the name of “Edgefield’ 4 a by-word

It looked Iasi week, before Preside d
Cleveland’s views and wishes con
cerning a Second term had been re i
po ted, as if nothing on earth could |
prevent his renoinination. Now that j
the manifestation of alleged coynes- J
and indifference concerning that pos- j
sibilitv is alleged of him, it looks as ii I
his renoinination could not be > tv- j
vented by anything on t be earth be
tieath or in the heavens above. Abovi
ail tilings else the human heart de
sires the inaccessible, and if
Cleveland should see fit to say deli
nitely that he did not wish to be
President for a second term, then
would be a general clamor for him,
coining even from those who are no-.i
his political enemies.
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.

Vorheess took carriages and were driv

A TALK WITH SENATOR VOORUKK.i.
Senator Voorhees is one of the most

the Charleston Hotel by a Reporter
yesterday afternoon, but uiifoitiinate-

Vilas, who were bent on doing the
city before tlie departure ofthe after
