of Times Readers.
\A fr.lee report reached Fort .Atill j

Capt. S. 1?. NVhito has received ,
a letter from Gen. (J. I. Walker,
I' C. V., in which it is suggested
{hat a reunion of the York regiment,
of Confederate veterans and the
song and daughters of veterans bo ,
held daring this month. But Cap- >
tain White does not think it advisable
to undertake the reunion, as (
the Stale reunion is to be held at ,
Greenwood during the first week !
in August, and also foi tlie reason ,
tiiat the veterans in certain sec- ,
lions of the county are ho badly
behind with their farm work, as a i
result of iko recent heavy rains,
that they could not well nlfoi I to i
attend.

Contention Over tos I'rice cf Water. .
The people in Yorkvilie arc,
wrestling with the water question,
and the problem, as presented, is
an interesting one. The water,
plant belongs to tho muni< ipaiity.
It wns erected originally for fire
protection. For several year a the (
town council line been renting
water privileges t.o consumers.
The rental schedule contemplated
a profit to the town over andabrvo
cost of production. Diseatismotion
has grown out of the impossibility
of an absolutely equitnbl*
adjustment of tho rental system.
Some consumers paying the same
price as others use much less
water. This has led to the consideration
of the installation of
meters, and this question has further
de\eloped ditference of opin..j
o. ..a...4.i? * i
ju.. niirmn nif municipality
shall net' tlio water plant as a revenue
producer or simply as a eorvcnionee
to the taxpayers. In,
other words, it is n question as
whether water should be sold to '
the owners of the plant at cr?st or I
at a profit. The people, or a majority
of t!v?m,have net yet reached
a conel ision as to what is the right
thing to do, and tin? town council
is still it - "a. rriiis body, however, I
is -triving as beet it can to do the'
right thing.?YorkviJio corrospon- j
