CITY WATER-
WORKSTESTED.
Proves Entirely Satisfactory
to Everybody.
SHOWS SPLENDID FORCE.
Willi Only I’l-cssurc IVom the Standpipe

Hundred I’et t of ilo:-e Itnught.
GutTney’s overflowing deep well
which has been tho wander of tl o
I’ie Imont since it was bored 550 feet
into the earth nearly a year ago, is
stiil overflowing. Since the well was
bored a substantial brick power
house Juts been built, boilers and
engines have been placed in it, a
standpipe has been built and water-
mains have be<. t ] u. in, all connec
tions have been made, tho power
turned on and tho standpipe and
mains filled with water which has
been pronounced “pure” by tho pro
fessor of chemistry, of Cletnso i col-
lege.^ It itas been tested here very
satisfuctmity b* consumers w' o
glod over its purity ai d healih-giv-
ing qualities and is be rg piped
into ell of our magnificent colleges,
schools, roiidentvs, offices, banks
and business houses.
This deep well water is now ready
for general use, aid no people know
betur than those >i Gallney how to
utilize so great a boom.
Three hose reels and fifteen hun
dred feet of hose have been bought
and have arrived in the city, and in
the future, in the hands of the Gaff
ney yeomanry, will make short work
of both accidental and incendiary
lires.
Tuesday afternoon it began to pass
from one to another that a test of
our waterworks system would be
made that afternoon. K. It. Cash,
the ellicientjmanngcrcf the plant, and
Alderman L. Baker, who is always
foremost, when city improvements
are being agitated, made or tested,
were seen to be interesting them
selves with tho machine. This
caused the crowd to begin to gather,
and soon quite a large one was in
front of the court house. It in
cluded the mayor, sevei’al aldermen
and members of the Board of Public
Works, prominent citizens and
county cUlciuls, boys too numerous
to mention, and representatives of
The Ledger. Everything being in
readiness, w ith manager Cush master
of ceremonies, a fifty foot hose was
attached to the hydrant in front of
the couit house. Numerous volun
teer nozzlemen were present, but
Tom Edwards, the faithful colored
employee in the power house, got first
place and promptly took it. The
water was turned on and with only
tiic pressure from the standpipe was
easily tliiOvvn over the tow’er of the
courthouse. City Clerk W. Henry
Boss, Chief cf Police Camp, Henry
K. Osborne and others took turns at
tiie nozzle and showed that when
needed they would bo ellicient lire-
rm n.
After fully demonstrating what
could be done with only pressure
from the standpipe', the pumping en
gine was attached and the pressure
from it put the water all over the
court house and in the' air above.
The experiment fuily verilied Gaff
ney's good sense in making the neees-
sary expenditure i.i money to secure
so great a boom and should induce
our city official, and all our people to
further effort, to the upbuilding and
protection of our pretty and grow
ing city.

An acquaintance of Tin Ledger had
an occasion to buy a half pint of
“chemically pure fuss X” yesterday
and when samplii g it a short time
after, he found several pieces of glass

several pieces. He then investigated

Unique Entertainment.
(^uite a unique entertainment will
be given at the Opera House next
Tuesday night, under the auspices of
the Ladies Missionary Society of the
Presbyterian church. Tho entertain
ment will be in tho form of a “Moot
Court,” a breach of promise suit be
ing the attraction. Two prominent
young society people of the city have
consented to act as plaintiff and de
fendant. The court will be regularly
conducted and tho public will have
an opportunity of seeing how courts
are managed. Capt. .1. l». Bell will
preside as judge. Messrs. Butler,
Otts and Willis will appear for the
plaintiff, and Messrs. Hall, Osborne
and McWhorter will represent tho
defendant.
A i'urrt.'ctiun,
A typographical error in our last |
issue made us say that Supervisor 1
Lipscomb was building “unneces
sary” buildings on the parish farm,
when we intended to say “necessary”*
buildings. We gladly make the cor
rection, not only in justice to Mr.
Lipscomb, but to The Ledirer us well;
for our worthy supervisor’s record as
supervisor, and his known good busi
ness sense, precludes the possibility
of “unnecessary” work under his
direction.

DO YOU GET UP
WITH A LAME BACK ?
Kidney Trouble Makes You Miserable.
Almost everybody who reads the news
papers is sure to know of the wonderful
cures made by Dr.
j, Kilmer’s Swamp-Root,
| the great kidney, liver
L anc * bladder remedy.
II iRtLl It is the great medi-
cal triumph of the nine-
i teenth century; dis
covered after years of
j Vwp. ’ scientific research by
, D* - . Kilmer, the emi-
j] _* . ' nent kidney and blad-
' der specialist, and is
wonderfully successful in promptly curing
lame back, kidney, bladder, uric acid trou
bles and Bright’s Disease, which is the worst
form of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is not rec
ommended for everything but if you have kid
ney, liver or bladder trouble it will be found
just the remedy you need. 11 has been tested
in so many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to pur
chase relief and has proved so successful in
every case that a special arrangement has
been made by v/hich all readers of this paper
who have not already tried it, may have a j
sample bottle sent free by mail, also a book
telling more about Swamp-Root and how to
find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.
When writing mention reading this generous
offer in this paper and |^r-A Ar
