Force of Water Breaks Section of Wall. 'More than 100,000 gallons of water was estimated by city authorities to have been 'wasted Thursday night when the 10,000 gallon water tank of the Laurens Bonded Warehouse collapsed, 'breaking the water main leading to it. The cause of the collapse is unknown. According to the police offlicers who were on duty at the time, the tank fell shortly after midnight. The crash was heard by the officers who suspected that it was due to the shifting of a freight train. When they found that there was no shiftinr veing done at that time, they thought of safe crack ers. Finding no evidence of this they let the matter alone, only to learn the next morning that it was the water tank that fell. The tank was made of 1-8 inch steel, and its weight together 'with that of the water that was in it Is estimated by Superintendent Chapman, of the water and light department, as having been over 100,000 Qounds. The weight of the water alone in the tank was 83, 000 pounds. The tank was supported by six inch angle beams to a height of about twenty feet. There was no top to it and when it fell, the force of the water .broke a section of the galvanized iron wall of the warehouse. Little dam age was done to the cotton stored in the warehouse at the time. Ainging Convention The South Laurens Singing Conven tion will meet Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock pt Lydia Mill church.
