FOK SE\VKHA(*K SYSTEM. ; Movement Started to Call Election to Vote $40,000 Bonds. f Petitions will be circulated ' J through the city within the next day 1 j or two upon the question of calling 1 j an election to vote $4",000 in bonds * for the installation of a waterworks 8 j and sewerage system in Bamberg. 1 At a meeting of city council Tues- ^ day night, the matter was discussed. 1 and the committee which had in f charge the matter of securing signa- e ' tures for a waterworks bond issue, 8 was asked to circulate another peti- s tion, increasing the amount of bonds 1 to $40,000, the additional $30,000 t being for the purpose of installing a s ! sewerage system. ( The committee has secured suf- x ficient signatures to the petition call- 1 ; ing for an election on the matter of * issuing $10,000 in bonds for water, ( ' but it was ascertained that a large 5 number of taxpayers objected to vot- 1 ing bonds for water without sewer- s age, and for this reason, no steps ? have been taken toward calling the 1 election until it can be ascertained 1 . if sufficient signatures cannot be se- ' > cured for the amount necessary to s n rt-o tnr a n rl CDU'f>r{l?P , lUdia.il UUIU nawci uuu wv v?wOV. There seems to be very little doubt that the matter will be carried. There is a general impression that the time is ripe for this improvement to be made* and, while the initial cost will j be heavy, it is an improvement that the town will have to make to keep | pace with the times. Bamberg is to be congratulated upon the movement being started, and. with the plant in operation. c Bamberg will have taken a long stride ' forward, one that will do more toward the town's growth and advance- , 1 ment than any movement, perhaps, ] since the town was founded. , It is probable that a citizens' meet- ^ j ing may he called in tne near iuuirei j " j to ascertain the public opinion upon " the matter. j 5 Plenty of Rain. The past week has witnessed an excessive fall of rain. Nearly every ' day a heavy rain has fallen, and the j farmers heport that the ground is 1 j soggy and that very little, if any, farm work can be done. The rain is doing a lot of damage to crops, gardens, etc., and those having water' melons to market are finding that ' * it is a difficult task to haul them to 1 1 market. It is stated that there is yet a lot of grain shocked in .the ' fields, and that this is being damag-i ' ed to some extent. About all the | wheat has been housed by most of the farmers who planted this year. f and this will doubtless escape dam- ' 1 age from water. Crops Receive Set Back. l * 1 Inquires among the farmers re veals the fact that the past two or ' three weeks has witnessed a con. siderable decline in the general con- 1 dition of the crops of the county. ' , The rain for the past month has ' caused the farmers to get very much * *Vifliy form urnrlr nrift thp r ? UCIttJCU 111 iUVii lUiui ? , grass is growing by leaps and bounds. 1 . Many farmers have not yet given ^ their cotton the first good cleaning 1 of grass. Corn is said to be fairly J ' good in most sections, although some ] ^ farmers state that it is nob as good 1 as last year. In some sectiois, also. ! ' the cotton crop is stated to be fine, r' but the general condition is not at ' all satisfactory. It is estimated that ' the acreage in cotton has been reduced from twenty to fifty per cent, in Bamberg county. i Put In Private Water Line. ^ i < 1 Messrs. W. D. Rhoad and C. W. 1 Rentz are putting in a water line r from Main street to their residences , on Elm street. The private line '' ? taps the water main on Main street. ' These gentlemen state that they do ] not doubt but that Bamberg will have a fine water system some time s in the future, but it will be some 5 ^ time ac the election is yet to be ' ' held, then the bonds issued and sold, 5 all of which requires much time. ' * And then, the contract is to be let, ' 1 in the event water is carried, and at * best it will be many months before ( * the new system can be installed. 1 ) New Advertisements. r R. T.

' '1 The Carlisle Artesian Well. The artesian .well at the corner of ?!m and Carlisle streets ceased to low recently for some reason. The low was greatly diminished and finaly practically ceased entirely. Eforts to rehabilitate the well, have >een unsuccessful so far. This was i very important well, in that it supdied water for the Carlisle school. Plie well was bored some years ago iy the school and .Messrs W. D. Rhoad. i. C. Folk and C. W. Rentz. It is statd that arrangements will be made for tn adequate supply of water for the ;chool the coming session, and that 10 fear need be felt on account of he present condition of the water supply. The school is in easy access f V./i niti-'a nraeant watpr SIlDDlV. vhich could be used for general purposes, and a pure drinking water will )e provided, in the event the well annot be restored. In addition to supplying water for the school and he gentlemen above named, the >vell supplied the residences owned by the school. Perhaps no action will be aken for a permanent water supply 'or the school until the outcome of lie present movement for a water supply for the entire city is decided. Missionary Announcement. The Woman's .Missionary society if the Methodist church will be en:ertained by Mrs. E. O. Kirsch, at ler home, on Tuesday, July 13. at ive o'clock. Every member is corlially invited to be present.
