*We pnfc?tsh in this issue the proposed
plan, in the form of au ordinance,
vwhien has been submitted to the Conn
oti, and which has been accepted with
tome modifications. The principal
point of difference is as to the amount
rw piping to be laid?tie company pro
posing to pat down two miles, and the
Conned wanting three mites, for which
$5(M) addition a), per annum is asked.
; It ?- proposed by this company to
erecta plant with al! suitable engines
* whtct witt have the capacity ef pump
I ing two m?ftiot* gaUoas of water every
day? A steelstandpfpe eighty feet in
height and ffve feet in diamater, from
s whiea- the mains will run. The val ves
attached to the same will be so adjusted
that whenever the occasion requires it,
I tie connection with the stand pipe can
Be cut off and the fire department sup
. pUed directly from th? engines.
Mr. Hague says that the waters of
Green Swamp are more than ample for
a water supply for a town the size of
Somier, audit is from this stream,
which is situated about two miles West
ofowr town, that the water supply will be
had.
- Forty hydrants will he erected at
intervals at the option of the tows
along the line of the mains. These
hydrants are to be rented to the town
for $2,000 a year, payable semi-an
nually, and the town can at the same
tune have new hydrants erected at the
rate of $50 a year, provided they are
on the line of the mains, but if new
mains will have to "be put down $25
more will be charged. ^
;Vi&etyrn?e years; is the length of
the time of the franchise of the com
pany, but after the period of thirty
years the town may purchase this sys
tem of Water Works if it so desires,
the price to be paid for the same, to be
testied by arbitration.
The chiiens of the townf if they so
desire, wrll be supplied with water at
stipulated rates which will be reason
able. The terma of this contract guar
antee the services of a first crass engi
neer and tappers who will superintend
the works. The town will incur no
liabilities whatever, as the expense and
the risk incident to the proposed sys
tem of water works will be maintained
bj the company. It is expressly stipa -
Jetad thai the town will have the right
to use the plugs in the business por
tion of the streets for four hours every
day for watering purposes.
To conte to an understanding upon
rae matter as to the length of the mains
a itaioftition was necessary. Mr.
Sagaeleft Sum ter for Charleston on
last Sunday evening for this purpose.
He retimed too morning and says that
after the closest figuring, it will be
impassible -for his company to agree to
lay three miles of piping unless the
town will stipulate to take -ten more
hydrants, which will only cost two hun
dred and fifty dollars more se mi-annu
ally. Although the system of water
work* as proposed to be erected by this
company and the terms for the mainte
'nanceof the same are the best and the
most feasible that has been offered to
ear Council, yet they are so cautious
and prudent that they are determined
not to move to this matter hastily.

THE C. C. & C A E BO?D,
We append below extracts from the
Rutherfordtoo (N. C.) Banner. These
paragraphs prove that the C. C. & C
Bail Road is now secured, and will
soon be built, the largest portion now
being under contract, from Camden to j e
Johnson City on the East Tennessee &
Yirginia B. R. We learn from Col.
Blaading, who is still President of that
portion of the road lying in South Car
olina, that since the consolidation char
ter has passed the Virginia Legislature
t&e way ? perfectly open and will soon
he pat under contract from Johnson
CHy*0 the Ohio River. It now ap
pearea^verity that there will soon be a
grand through trank line from Cincin
nati to Charleston. Is Sam ter t? be on
or is she to be left off this line ? Is not
this a vital question to us, and should
not our people bestir themselves to se
cure beyond any peradveoture a place
on the See ? If this and other lines
now eeutertog on Sum ter be built she
certainly has a brilliant prospect in the [
.near future.

KNIGHTS OP HONOR.
The Grand Lodge of Knights of
Honor of South Carolina will meet at
Anderson at 8 o'clock on this evening.
Capt. W. R. Delgar, Dr. John S.
Hughson and Mr. Harry Ryttenberg
left Sumter on this morning for the
City of Anderson as representatives
from the Lodge at this place.
The Order is io a most flourishing
condition throughout the United States.
Within the past year it bai expended
$120,000 in charity given generously
and freely to the city of Charleston.
And in addition bas paid Out $3,123,
000 to the beneficiaries of its* members.
It bas a membersbip of 130,000 and no
mutual fraternal order ranks higher
than this.
Cheaper Than Fire.
The water-works question winch has
so long agitated the town of Sumter,
bas been practically settled at last, it is
said, and settled in the right way.
Tbe town is to bave water, and plenty
of it, as soon as the machinery and
mains can be put in place. There is
no room to doubt the wisdom of this
iecision. VVater is always cheaper
than fire. Water-works are cheaper to
any town tban even occasional fireworks
-?n a large scale. The loss caused by
the last fire at Black ville was probably
not less than $150,000, exclusive of
insurance. The annual interest on this
;um of money, at seven per cent.,
would be $10,500. The rental of the
brty hydrants ~to be placed in position
Sumter will be $2,000 a year, which
s tbe interest on less than one-sixth of
he amount that B?ack ville lost by one
lonfiagration.
The experience of Winnsboro' is also
point. The steam fire engine in use
that town cost $3,900, but has saved
?50,000 worth of property in eighteen
aonths, and has paid for itself ? dozen
imes in that period. A sufficient num
ber of cisterns, and a fire engine, ther?
ore, will answer the purpose of protec
ion against fire, when a system of
rater-works cannot be bad ; but the
rater-works have other and obvious
dvantages whieb should lead to their
doptron wherever practicable, The
eople of Sumter have chosen wisely
od will sever find reason, we are sure,
5 regret their choice.
The calculation has not been made in
ay of tbe statements published con
erning the new enterprise in Sumter,
ut it will doubtless be found that the
nnual saving in the rates of fire insu
once will alone pay Tor the rental of
be water-works when completed. This
rill amount practically to the town se
aring the water works for nothing.?

WASHINGTON LETTER
Wasbogtos, D. C, April 15, 1887.
have seen all sorts of receptions, ?
aid one of tbe tked, disgusted ushers
t tbe White House, 'but I never saw
nything like this before. It was sim
ly awful/ He was alluding to tbe
cene which took place in the East
loom on Easter Monday, the day on
rhich, through a time honored custom,
be children of the District of Columbia I
re allowed tbe privilege of the White j *
louse grounds for the purpose of egg
ailing. At the hour for the Presi
ente tri-weekly handshaking, tbey
)ok advantage of tbeir opportunity to
oar into the Executive Mansion, and
be jam that ensued and tbe debris that
>llowed tbeir presence there as well as
tbe grounds was amusing. It re
aired a large force of men the greater
art of tbe next day to clean up the
gg-shells, orange peels, papers and
tber remnants of the frolic.
It is the dull season, and perhaps
objects of eonversation are scarce, but
doubt whether anything relating to
be President was ever more discussed
ban that absurdity about his request to
ave a private passage way made for
is use alone at one of the popular tbe
tres in this city. Of course he made
o such request nor had any such de
ire nor ever even thought of such a
bing. There probably never was a
lore democratic President than he, and
f he were less so, he does not attend
musements of any kind sufficiently (
fteu to want any special conveniences ! !
>r himself. ?
The whole dreadful truth about the 1
?atter is that tbey are having some new c
xits and entrances constructed at AI- l
1
(
a
?
o
augh's theatre because they are need
d, and one of them, usually closed,
in be opened at any time to let per*
>ns in Cr out. The President became
red of seeing the statement published
i?t he had requested a private entrance
>r himself, and stated that he had
ever been subjected to inconvenience
r difficulty in reachiog bis box, that
e bad no objection to passing through
le auditorium, and that his wishes
ere not consulted in regard to changes
sat are under way at Albaugb'a. So
i?t bit of gossip exploded.
The Senate which closed its session
the fourth of March was composed of i d
>rty-two Republicans and thirty-four j 1
democrats. As newly constituted, it ?a
ill consist of thirty-nine Republicans | i
d thiity seven Democrat:*;. The j ^
resident is being advised to call both j g
louses of Congress together in extra j
?ssion next August or September. Ile ? f
ill not do that, nor is it considered ex- j ?
edient by his best counsellors, bat it s
quite probable that October will find t
ongress iu session. The President is
uoted as saying that the Forty-ninth p.
ongress 'left undone many things that ? "
should have done,' and that he in- ?
?&ded-io give some thought to the sub- j
set of au extra session at his earliest |
snvenienee. His auditor remarked ? \
i?t if Mr. Cleveland believes the pub
c good demands an extra session he
ili call one in spite of the presiding
eotus of Hades ; that ho was just that
>rt of a man.
?v seems Private Secretary Lamont
finds his official life rather monotonous
so far as gossip is concerned, and does
not understand why be is permitted to
remain undisturbed in his position, since
the ill-wishers of the Administration
have been so persistently officious in
breaking the President's official house
hold. Higher officers than the Colonel
have been made to resign repeatedly
during the past two years, and why
should not his turn come ?
When a newspaper man asked him
which would be the next big appoint
ment, he replied, 'the new private sec
retary, I suppose.' When asked if he
was not afraid to perpetrate such a joke
as that on even a moderately enterpris
ing news gatherer, he said, 'not at all,
why should I be afraid? I bave enjoyed
nearly all the glories of public office ex
cept that greatest glory?a quarrel with j
the Administration and a resignation.
I think it is fairly my turn now to come
in fora little of the fame which grows
out of a resignation of onice which is
not resigned. Go ahead/ continued he.
*and say I have resigned/ The news
papers had conferred almost every other
distinction upon him, he said, and they
would set it all right at last anyhow.

Mr. Editor: The weather is hot and dry.
Fudging from the heat of the last few days,
t looks as if summer is at last upon us. The

orward in their planting operations than in
