WORK HAS COMMENCED
ON WATER AND LIGHTS
#OMK IHIiW O^ AOUOl'NT OF
HIDK1HACK. ? 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.

Hear Co-WorkeiB: Another your
h.s paBbou uhu vs?j who have the
honor of being >our offices, a?u
re.iv-y iu k'vu an account of our
h e\. arcship artu hope for tho "well
done, goou and funnfui uurvauiu."
It has been a busy and far reach
?ut year. Wo ha*e reorganized,
p.ed a constitution to enable ub
io J.,iu vhe Hiaio Federation, and
hvvo carried out the Scheme, near
est and ueanst to our hearts? the
liiBt.tuting of a much needtyl Heat
Hoom.
Our Clean up Contests, two in
n~4u.*e., were moBt successful, and
the money so expended ? $102
we 1 invested In health and the
0? uty. o t c oanllnebfl? next, we
Ai-e told, to godliness.
The voices of the few who objdqt
od 10 the scheme being drowned in
t. e acclamations of praise of the
best oi our citizens.
'Our bund are few, but true atu
t. lwd" and we hope many will join
us in spite of the Increase to 2Gc
per year for dues.
i he parks liprve been as well car
ed for uy the faithful Oliver as
his limited time would allow. We
need a. man to care for the parks
?very day in the year and musi
plead with Council for such work.
Fourteen well made seats have
been placed in the parks; benches
around fountain have been fixed
painted and made stationary.
Twelve large trash baskets have
been placed on the parks ? some, we
a.e feorry to see, are not used.
The covered garbage cai? on
B oad Street are being used ub
spats for the young negroes who
loll in f.ont of tho stores.
! The Wv>uld-be fountain to our
ge. erals hts been turned from a
uiosHuito -v breeder and miniature
P nu for the children's delight, in
CO a lovely flower bed ? awaiting
paiientlyi the tlpie when our city
fa' hors can furnish water enough
to make the fountain fulfill its nas
al >11, a thing cf beauty and a Joy
forever. 4
. i-'ifty trees have been planted:
More a.e lejng planted and an
a enue cf t.ets will bo planted
this week to extend to the ceme
tery.
v 'a he League wishes to thank Mr.
"W. WJxitaker for his aid.
We Bt^ll hope to have the can
ton placed around the fountain t6
the generals.
The hedges were all carefully,
trimmed by Robt. Anderson, hired
by us, and our bank book shows
that wo have made and expended
fiom March 1, 1913, to Jan. 16,
19i4, $40 <.33. Our books are ready
for the inspection of , the council if
thereby they will increase the ap
propriation of the CiVic League.
$100 was set aside last year and
$50 of it paid to enable tnr to meet 'j
obligations of Rest Room. Since
last week the following have an
swered our cards;
The Loan & Savings Bank $12.00

It is a cherished scheme of your
President to raise funds enough to
employ a Dls rict nurse to look af
ter tne health and comfort of our
s ck poor. Numerous towns in our
Sia e are doing this noble work
and we must not lag behind.
We need alBO greater library fa
c 11 les and a present of valuable
books will "be given Camden as soon
as we procure a fire proof build
ing. We can get a Carnegie Li
brary if we try hard enough. The
twWn of Latta has just built one
and we must do likewise.
Through the kindness of Mr. T.
E. Kiumtholz and the assistance of
Misses Krumfcholz and Leffingwell,
the dancing class at the Club House
has netted the League bo far.

Sheriff Huckabec, Coroner Dixon
and Dr. W. J. Dunn were called to
the Antic eta section of ttae county
ore day l&st week to exhume the
body of an infant found burled in
the woods. At first it was thought
to have been foul play connected
wi h Its death. It was later learned
that it was the child of a negro
woman in Camden, who is at work
here, and that upon the death of
the infant she had it sent* to her
O d home to be buried in the grave
yard _ near there The parties en
trusted to do the burying, placed
it n the )woods Instead of the
graveyard, and this aroused tho
suspicions of those finding it.
Reel Winter.
Camden and vicintty experienced
the first touch of real winteer this
morning when citizens awokee to
