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

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.
