In searching for a water supply for the city of Aiken, the water committee of council has visited, among other places, China springs, at the old Pope aluminum clay bed, about 2J£ miles from Aiken; and Dr. J. B. McMillan, of Graniteviile, has had the water ana- lized at Clemson college The analysis is as follows: Grains per U. S. gallon of 231 cubic inches— Potassium carbonate 052 Sodium carbonate 041 Calcium carbonate 023 Magnesium c.vrbonate 017 Potassium sulphate ..... .023 Sodium chloride .192 Iron sesquioxide and alu- mine 006 Piasfnger Car Crashed to Pie-ss, and Threo Mto Killed and Pio* Injared. On last Thursday night the most serious accident that has yet occurred on the trolley line happened to pas- s<-nger car No. 107, which was crushed to pieces, and in which J. E. Holdman the motorman, and Felix Bodie an em ployee of the company, were killed and A. D. Hill the conductor, and C W. Cheatham, A W. Robinson, S W. Long of Troy, Claude Atkinson, and A. E. Kearns a drummer from Tennessee passengers, were injured. The collision occurred near the tres tle at the curve near Clearwater. It is said that a heavy L. & N. coal car hac been hauled from Clearwater to the power house, and there the brakesman was in the act of setting the switch when the coupling connecting this car with the express car ( which was hauling it) broke. The heavy coal car at once started off down the grade, and although some railway employees ran after it, they could not catch it and in a few moments it gained tremendous speed. It could not have been more than a minute or so afterwards when it, in the darkness, crushed into the passenger car gHng from Aiken on its regular schedule. This car was crushed into flinders, and the frightful force of the collision between the passenger car and the coal car can be appreciated by th statement of the fact that the two sets of trucks of the passenger car were found within a few inches of each other, while the rear trucks of the coal car were fully ninety feet back of the rear of the car. The seats were reduced to r an almost unrecognizable mass. The wood work of the car was splintered as thoroughly as it could have been done with an axe. The ponderous coal car was also smashed and is a wreck. All those inside the car were either killed or seriously injured. Long, At kinson and Kearns were on the rear platform, and escaped with slighter in juries. As soon as information of the acci dent reached Augusta, uhysicians, aqd a nurse were sent in a special car, and the unfortunate victims carried to the hospital there. Holdman was killed instantly, his head being completely severed from his body. Bodie was crushed inter nally, but lingered until the hospital was almost reached when he died Conductor A R. Hill died Friday afternoon at 3 :30 o’clock, never rally ing from the operation of the night preceding, which was performed as the dernier resort by the attending physi cians. C. \V Cheatham, though at present a citizen of McCormick, is a native of Edgefield, having resided there up to a few years ago. Robinson is still at the hospital and doing fairly well. The at tending physicians are confident that he will recover. Atkinson and Kearns have left the hospital, no longer need ing the attention of the surgeons. Into the Mew Po*t Office. Postmaster Carman expects to open up business in the new postoffice build ing this morning, having made his re moval from the corner last night. This is sooner than was expected by most people, as it was not supposed that the building could be got ready before the middle of next month at the earliest. The room appropriated to the post- office is amply spacious, being 28 feet wide by 74 feet long. The building is of brick, and the room has a steel ceil ing and cement floor, this being as nearly fire proof as possible. All of the fixtures—railing, desks, bag racks, tables, etc —are of the very latest pat terns, and not surpassed by any in any other small town in South Carolina. There are 422 lock boxes, and 28 lock drawers. The lobby is very spacious and thus will obviate crowding. There are three outside desks for the use of patrons of the office; and tw T o sets of drop holes for letters and packages, etc The money order and registry business will be done in quarters sep arated fr >m t'he main office ; and the postmaster has his own private office^' One striking improvement over thti old office is that the mail pouches are all received and sent out from the rear of the building, and the inconvenient hauling through the lobby is at an W ,> Wedding Bell? a are ringing; and You Know vZ Wedding Gif^s O' 2/ a» You are now receiving mvi ; to the weddings of your frien We invite you to give our stock an inspection.

Hardin, the chemi 205 559 .022 .034 none none st, says: ‘There is even a little less mineral matter in this sample than in the sam- | parts well and held pie received from you April 10th. This sample is also purer in respect to or ganic matter. It is in fact scarcely anything but pure water.” This appears to be very satisfactory. The water seems to be pure enough. Now the questions are,—is there enough of it for the prospective needs of the growing city of Aiken? and will the supply be maintained through all droughts? Purity, abundance and per manency are the three conditions re quired by t he eit y. Thin people should bathe as often as possible in warm water. Warm wa er is absorbed by the skin more readily than cold. end. Altogether it is a postoffice that is a credit to Aiken, and one in which Mr. Carman has every facility for contin uing his efficient manipulation of the mails. The removal from the cramped quar ters occupied during the past three months and the restoring of the lock boxes will be a relief to the commu nity. The postmaster and his clerks really deserve much credit for the very satisfactory way they have con ducted the postal business in their inconvenient quarters. They have certainly shown the discipline that makes effieiet.cy. Commencement Exercise* of theAixen Institute.

She had been married thirty-six years; had been a consistent member of the Baptist church for twenty-five years. Had been confined to her bed fourteen months and two days. She bore her affliction with the greatest pa tience, saying, “it is the Lord, let him do what seemeth him good ” Mrs. Webb was an amiable Christian even in her affliction. She tried to cheer all around her Her highest aim in life-wasto retteve the suff^l fthe leaves a sorrowing husband to mourn her loss, also a son and three daughters, who may exclaim— Dearest mother, thou didst leave us And thy loss we deeply feel, But the Lord who thus bereaves us— He can all our sorrows heal. * * * An Earlier Train f*r the Seashore. The people of Aiken will have a splendid chance to visit the seashore via the Southern this summer. The changes in the schedule are all for the better and will undoubtedly contribute in a great measure to the success of the Isle of Palms, which bids fair to be the mecca of the pleasure seekers this year. Formerly those who wanted an extra day on the beach left Aiken at half past two in the morning, but this hot trip by sleepers will be avoided by the new ar rangement. The Isle of Palms special will this season, beginning next Sun day, leave Aiken at 6 :20 in the morning ••• and arrive in Charleston at half past! nine, making immediate connections! with the boat for Sullivan’s Island and the Isle of Palms. It will be a fast train and will make only four stops en route.. This means much. All the travel i.s done in the cooler part of the morning and the hot hours in the sleeper which was in past seasons the bane of travel ers is entirely avoided. ,, , There will also be an other train to i !
