/ LANCASTER ENTERPRISE. Published tvery Wednesday and Saturday BY Tbe Enterprise - Fiiblishinft Company A.J. CLARK Kdttor. One Year $1.00 Si* Month* 50 cts Three Months 25 cts In Advance. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13, 1!H)0. The Southern Presbyterian has been sold to Messrs. J. F. and W. S. Jacobs who have been publishing it under lease for more than two years. The ordinance stores that were taken into the service of the United States during the war with Spain by the South Carolina troops will be retured upon application of (he Governor. The secretary of state Monday, upon the filing of the election returns, granted a charter to the town of Bethune on the new line of the Seaboard Air Line in Kershaw county. K. T. Estridge is intendent and B. L. Norwood, J. A. McCaskill, R. B. Wilson and J. K. Folsom are the wardens. ELECTRIC LIGHTS AND WATERWORKS. The editor of this paper, up to this time, has not favored incurring the expense of procuring a system of electric lights and also of waterworks; but now that we are to have a mil lion dollar cotton mill, the time has come when we should look to procuring electric lights for lighting up the town, and also a system of waterworks. The latter should follow as a corollary to the million dollar cotton mill. The people would do well, as soon as the big mill is secured, to look to the construction of a system of waterworks and electric lights. The electricity for lighting up the town can easily he derived from the same source as that to be employed in running the big mill. Lancaster county must take a front rank v in these respects with her sister counties of the state and not . lag behind. mia a ay r\ai an /*attam mii lUILilrfl VII WlrflMlllt VV VII fVUUL.. The enlargement of the cotton mill to the extent of a million dollar investment, which has been talked of for sometime, appears now to be an established fact. The directors of the present mill have resolved, in a meeting called for the purpose, to adopt and carry out the scheme proposed by Col. Lerov Springs, to establish and consummate the same. A meeting of the stockholders has been called 011 the day of July next to ratify and confirm the action taken to this end by the directors. The scheme appears to meet the unanimous sanction of all who are interested in the mill, and also of the people\ generally. The present mill will be increased from 12,000 spindles and 500 looms so as to run about 62,000 spindles and 1,500 or more looms. The purpose now is to propel 1 the machinery by electricity generated by a new company at or near Landsford 011 Catawba river. The present mill house or plant will be enlarged by building on to the same, so as to make room for the necessary machinery. Col. Springs, the chief promoter of this great scheme, it is said, has already purchased the ma?1.: : 1 1-1 uiuiinrjr, ui ii cuiisKicriiDit) pari; of the same, and it is contemplated to commence work at once, and to push it through to completion as rapidly as practicable. The prospect now is that Lancaster, in 12 or 18 months from the present, will he one of the leading manufacturing cities in this state. Her population may increase within a very few years to ten thousand inhabitants. It will be of immense advantage to the * surrounding country, affording profitable employment to her citizens and opening a market for trade and traffic which will be a blessing to the whole community. Col. Springs, the pro-j moter of the enterprise, is a i man of wealth and pecuniary! influence. Ho has studied tin scheme, lias arranged for dis posing of the stock, and get tins the money. All this he luu done before ho brought tin matter before the directors The colonel is a big-heartec man, and takes a great pride in promoting the welfare of tin people of Lancaster county, ant all this is appreciated by oui people who will be ready to up hold him in the great industry It Nkrrd niN I.rg.

There were quite a number from a distance, Lan easier ana llealh Springs beinj: well represented, as were all the adjoining communities. The exercises began at 10 o'clocl and continued until about 1 Lawson Elliott, a 5-year old boy gave the first recitation in brigh and distinct v ords, impressing ui that now is the time to do a thing and not to delay. Following tliii was a number of impressive ant uplifting recitations intersperse! with beautiful and stirring songs which were highly enjoyed b\ the entire audience. Rev. L. L. Bedenbaugh wai called upon, who entered the pul pit and gave us an unusualh good sermon, which was at ten tivelv listened to by his numer ous friends, he having been ou former pastor.

William Am?nd Weighed 58 Pounds Last Fall. William Amend, undisputo claimant of the title of Chan pion Beer Drinker of the World died in Bellevue Hospital la* night of cirrhovi of the livei Twenty-two tlrm-vrl seve hundred gallons oI' t'r? anibe fluid had flowed down in* throw in the last twenty-itvc years according to his calculations and they were right ones, prol ahly. It was all clear heer, toe for the champion, like a tru conniosseur, permitted on! turned down collars on hi stins. The case of Amend was on at which the Bellevue <loctor never ceased to marvel. II came to the hospital last Sej tember, a trembling mountaii of Jlesh, weighing not less thai 580 pounds. Two days befor his (loath he moved the seal beam at 160. This reductioi in weight was accomplished h the surgeons drawing of th fluid secretions of his body About 200 ounces were remove" four times a week for thro months after he entered th i i] s i m u i mil . laitieriy, in amount steadily decreased. A mend's working days wer spent as driver of a brewer wagon, ami that explains ho\ he came into his title and re tained it. It was bestowed upoi him by competent referees?th saloon men to whom he d< livered beer. He was of a gen ial disposition, and invariald; had a drink at every place a which lie left kegs. lie alway 1 took a beer, and sometimes two. -1 They were never short drinks, ; either. But usually large, pews; ter topped German steins, hold? ing twice as much as the aver age glass. A mend's route was 1 so long that in a day the sum ) total of his* libations was ama3 zing. To while away weary I hours at the hospital he made r the calculation mentioned as - above, figuring on the basis of . ten quarts a day for twenty-five years. The envy the lot of such a man may cause to rise within |J many thirsty souls will be dispolled when the effect of the e beer in Amend is considered. r When lie began drinking he i. weighed 130 pounds. Flesh * accumulated so rapidly that in four years he weighed over 300 pounds, and his heart action was so uncertain that ho was ^ afraid to lie down. lie had a 1 big arm chair built to order, so 3 constructed that he could sleep 3 in it. When it was suggested to him last autumn that he goto 3 the hospital he would not consent until he was assured that ' the chair could bo taken also.
