FOltCE OF WOHKMKN UJDliU. Work has commenced on the con struction of the water and light plant by the Commissioners of 1'ufc nc vvoikh tor Lhe city of Camden. Mr, C. E. Boesch, who in first uBi^tuut to the engineer, Mr. Gil bert C. White, 1b on the grounds aud promlacB. that the work will go forward a* rapidly as possible. He la an engineer who was only Re cently connected with the establish ing1 ot tbe water Rock Hill, and did work there as absiu tunt to Chief Engineer White. Mr. E. A. Mees, who is superin tendent of construction, u here, as *? also Mr. F. L. Harrison, superln t^uent of the, electric light plant. Thefee are all men who have had experience In their special line of work and they are much pleased w4th the conditions surrounding the establishment of the water and l'ght plant, and are interested In giving to Camden an uptodate plant. A full force of hands will soon be at work. Some delay has been caused by the failure of the rail roud to put in the side track at the plant, but contractors and com missioners hope that this delay will not be for very long. As the people of Camden' will be Interested In the men who are to establish the water and light plant, we take the liberty of publishing tne following set of resolutions passed by the board of commission ers ? both as a board and as citi zens? of Rock Hill, after the en-^ largement and extension of their water plant. > These resolutions* re fer to the services rendered by Gilbert CP White, who was their en gineer, and who is now the engineer of public works for Camden:, "Whereas, the enlargement and extension of our water supplyi plant which has been under construction during the past year Is now com pleted and has been accepted and turned Over to us, ' "And whereas, we as a Board and bb citizens interested in the re sults obtained, are verry much grat ified and pleased with the design, construction and operation of the same, } ' ? , "And whereas, wo feel that we a.e largely indebted to our engineer Mr. Giluert C. White, of Charlotte, N. C., both for the economy with which it has beep constructed and the success with which It 1b being operated, ? ? ? "And whereas, we desire to place ?.n record some testimony of our appreciation of Mr. White's services "Therefore, be it resolved; That wo feel that we should congratulate ourselves ,^nd the city which wo re u.'esent, not only for the successful completion- of the plant, but for the cost at which It has been ob taineu due very largely to the abil ity, energy and thoroness of . Mr. WhJt^y-who has had enttro charge of ?ts design and superintendence of Its construction from its incep tion. We now have a plant com prising an electrically operated pumping station, equipped in dupli cate, five mileB distant on the Ca tawba River and a main to the city where is located a filtering and storage plant of the latest and most efficient design, with a capac 1 y of one imlllion gallons per day, tae entire plant costing about 90 thousand dollars. "Resolved further. That we hare been greatly impressed throughout the whole course of the worrk with ti.e ,falrnets, courtesy and consider ation shown by Mr. White to the members of the Board, to ah of 1 s employees and to all those with whom we have had business rela tions, and . it 1b with pleasure that we make this statement and com mend him both professionally and as a man to those requiring the services of an engineer. "Resolved further. That a copy ot these resolutions be made by onr seci etary and sent to Mr. , White, wl h the best wishes of the Board." These gentlemen who are In Cam den aqd who will bq with us for nearly six mqnths, will receive a hearty welcome. There has ' been many problems to solve and many difficulties to overcome before this work could commence, but now that it has commenced the city should oongratulate Itself and each and every citizen lend a helping and eacouraging hand to this enterprise. Motorcycle Collides With Train. ? But for a train hand witnessing the /accident and signaling the en gineer, who brought the trail* to a quick atop, probably averted a fatal accident at the Seaboard sta tion Tuesday afternoon. The local passenger between Columbia and Himlet was just, pulling out when "Mike" Wilson, an auto driver for the Camden Motor Co., rodo up on a motorcycle, and not shutting his e-gino off in time, crashed into thfc middle of a passenger coach. The: machine and. rider were thrown un to* the cy and dragged a distance, but fortunately Wilfon was only si gh4?y bruised. The front of the machine was badly damaged. Those who witnessed tie accident say it w~?--Mk? exceedingly narrow escape for -the ipan. Mra.-w. C. T. Bates, of St. Mat thews, was the guest of Mrs. W. R. Eve, Jr., last w#ek.
