no . doubt, grew out of a siande:'ous
commurnication over a Greenwvood

writen by a renegadle interloper-if a
citizen at al l-signe'd "Taxpayer."
There are outside forces who have

of dliscounlting municipally owned util

I knew, thierefore, that the report
emanatIng from Laurens was untrue
before receiving bis refutalh v2f it ini a
copy of his letter to Supt. Philpot, as
follows:
Columbia, S. C.,
May 26, 1921.
Mr. J. E. Philpot,
Laurens, S. C.
Dear Mr. Philpot:
It has just come to my attention
that there Is a report being circulated
from Laurens, that I have condemned
the plant at Greenwood. I am writ
ing to ask you to please contradict
this report if you hear of it.
Greenwood and Laurens have en
tirely different :problems and waters
to handle. I believe- the Greenwood
'filters -will do all they were designed
to do and there is no ground for any
report, such as I have mentioned
above.
Thanking you in advance for any
hell) you can render me in nailing
this lie, I am,
Very truly yours,
E. L. 11ILBY,
State Sanitary Engineer.
As for the report from Georgia, I
do not know what it is nor by whom
started, but feel safe in saying that it
too was a fabrication without any
fouildation whatever.

When the first report of the new
flood came this afternoon soldiers con
ducted a hurried search of buildings
and in one found a woman standing
in water up to her armpits and hold
ing above her head a -baby. five hours
old. The mother and baby were tak
en to a hospital, where It was said
they could not live.
Three United States armyalrplanes
are on the way to Jueblo ionight from
Dodge City, Kansas.
According to Colonel Hamrock, the
machines .will be used for observation
and scouting to verify reports of fur
ther flood dangers.
Fear was expressed for the safety of
people living in towns on the Arkan
sas river below Pueblo. There was no
way of spreading a warning from here.
It was impossible to get Into other sec
tions of the city or out of the city from
the south.

The heavy rains today and tonight
again made the roads almost impassi

military rushed several soldiers across
the viaduct to the souti side. The As
