Analysis of China Springs Water.
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:

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

‘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.

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.

Mrs. Julia Webb.
Died, April 19th, t her home in
Blackville. Mrs. Julia Webb, wife of
Mr. Ed Webb, in the 62d year of her
age. 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

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

day, leave Aiken at 6 :20 in the morning •••

Is it Right ?
! Is it right that a property-owner
; should lose $4 20 to let a dealer make
; DO cents? A dealer makes 50 cents more
on fourteen gallons of ready-for-use
paint, at $1.50 per gallon, than our
j agent does on eight gallons of J. «fc M.
, paint and six gallons of linseed oil,
homage in t which make fourteen gallons of the
hv } M . <t paint in the world, at $1.20 per
ftallon ; the property-owner loses just
$4.20. Is it right?
It only requires 4 gallons of L. M.
and 3 gallons linseed oil to paint a mod
erate sized house.
