Monday those between ?ix and nine will be i

Bailroad Hacket.
A runner is current to the fcSect that the
Coast Line E. It. has changed its programme
about extending a branch road fror? Sumter
to Camden, and inst3.-.d will run the road be?
tween Camden and Lynches Creek and tap
the 3C's il. IL at Cershaw. We cannot
understand what is io be gained by such a
move, aad it cannot bc done until their
charter is amended.
It is poss:ldc that their tactics are like those
of ail the other railroads that he.ve been built
in this State since lae war. They want to
force the sections through which they pass io
subscribe liberally towards bunding the read,
and wii] make all kinds of thre.-.is about
going around a town or township if ikey
refuse to subscribe-?ike the proposed South
Hound Railroad is now doing, and like 3C's
did do before it was built.
if there is any money to he made out of the
road, then ?et the officials pay for its construc?
tion. It is a money-making scheme on their
part, or they would not build it, and not for
any love they have for the people along the
line. Railroads are good institutions, but
we think it is nothing but right and proper
that the men who are to reap tho profits in
.be investment should pay for it.- Camden

A Fica For Pure Water.
Editor of the Watchman ,y Southron :
A few words about cur drinking -rater
from one who, perhaps, has not the right to
claim to be an expert may be of interest to so
many of your readers as will justify thc space
occupied in your columns. It is already
a matter of notoriety that an experiment has
been made to obtain pure water in Sumter
from depths beneath at least one stratum of
rock, in this experiment it became necessary
to perform a most difficult feat, no less than
driving six inch, wrought iron pipe, one-half
inch thick, through 94 feet of sand wl;ich
overlay the first stratum of rock. (This can
be appreciated somewhat when it is remem?
bered that the best pile-driver is thought to
do remarkable work if it drives an 8-inch
plank through 25 feet of sand.)
Succeeding in this, the next task of the
,(non-expeit*' was to go through the rock
which proved, according to his unsophisti?
cated judgment, to he 5 feet thick. This was
?asi?y accomplished and immediately _ a
stream of cold, pure water came nj) within 5
ieet cf the surface. This was thc desireratnrn,
int the drilling was continued in the hope cf
obtaining a seif-?owing well. ^
The pipe was driven down with all ease for
SC feet which brought to the rock the collar
:hat joined the first section of pipe to the one
:bovc it. Here was made apparent the great
mistake of the "non-expert" who, against
?is convictions, had been laughed by tho
>ther unprofessional non-experts into believ
ng that the supposed 5 fret o? rock was not
;ven so many indies.
It is the custom of most weli-driilers on
?caching reek to insert smaller pipe and driva
t down to thc next rock, and so on to the
:nd of the chapter, because of the difficulty,
f not impossibility of driving the collar
brough the rock which had been perforated
>aly sufficiently to admit the pipe. Accord
ng to this practice it was a mistake to drive
he first pipe through the rock ; smaller
;hould have been inserted from the top. But
here is an improved practice. An enlarger
s attached above the drill point and with it
he rock is cut away below the pipe so that
he collar wiii readily pass through. Thc
'non-expert" is free to confess that he has
mite recently made the acquaintance of this
mlarger.
The effort was made to drive the collar
brough the rock and this was effected by
legrees. an inch in an hour now, and DOW
n two hours, until 2\ feet wa3 accomplished.
The same slow precess continued would make
: clear track fer the pipe with all its collars
brough this first stratum of rock. On j
caching thc next, an enlarger (costing 850
toilars) would obviate all difficn' y, and the
veight of the pipe continually increasing
venid give an increasing rapidity to thc cx
.uticr. of thc idle-driver. It is true that at a
iepth of 543 feet, 30 feet below the foot of the
?ipe, a fine stream cf mineral water, largely
rnpregnated with iron and sulphur, comes
n and rises within about 7 feet of the surface.
Tafter analysis, this watcrshould not be found
vorthy to be kept at command, then it is per?
ce t ly practicable tc continue thc well and to
irivp ss far as necessary the same pine.
In Georgetown it was necessary to use only
;0 feet of pine in a well 353 feet deep. Strata
>f rock amounting in all to 10 feet were pass
d through, and thy strong probability was
hat when saud was reached there would be
vater ir?*a self-Sowing stream. The "ccn-ex
.ert" at Georgetown after his experience with
[uicksand in Sumter, knows that he struck
?one at Georgetown as he feared on reaching
:53 feet where (not his patience but) his
coney gave out.
Should any one desire to know some of the
roubles of experts-real. bona-Sde, simon?
rare, 24 carats fine experts in drilling artesian
veils, he need not go elsewhere than to the
ard of the railway shops at Florence.
iVithin a few y.nrds of each other, he will find
wo wells both of which are considerably
iver 400 feet. In the first thc water came
vitbin 18 feet of thc surface (ns indeed, in
he ether.) and a deep well pump was insert
d. The water was excellent, and "ali went
nerry as a marriage bell" until the pump
;roke in such a way as to render the well
:se!ess. The second weil was not completed,
md can never be because a joint of pipe got
'cul of joint" and no Hamlet ?tas been born
o set ii right. In neither of these wells was
my rock encountered. The Railway Com?
pany has laid pipe for about a half mile to a
?reeks and keep an engine driving a force
)ump all day iong to furnish a supply of
vater. It is said that the large-bruiu^d Const
"lino Officials r.re anxious to co-operate with
he Florence Authorities in sinking new wells,
o that their employees and their ian.Ties may
lave thc blessings always r?sultat.! from the
ise of pure water.
In Albany, Ga., there aro 13 flowing wells,
md the city that was one? a terror to residents
md sojourners ha3 become n city of refuge
rem febrile foes. We fevers proved to have
;een U34di*qa<:OU5 and not malarial, as from
imo inmemorial had been thought. Bruns?
wick, Ga., ha? had a like experience. .The
.non-expert" pauses herc to beg that he snail
;ot be thought a profane intruder in thc
acred domains of medica: science, when he
xpresses the opinion that thc dreaded typhoid
Vver and its cognates, were they conscious
x-iugs, would themselves dread nothing so
nuch as deep well witter.
A husband and father will readily invest
53?O and often more in a horse and buggy
br the pleasure drives of his family. is it
?ot strange lha? he thinks lightly of a pro
?osition to invest half a? much, or ie;;?, in a
veil IOU feet deep that wiil pive au unfailing
lupply cf water to those he loves test? The
iiorses must bc fed three times a day, the
?>cggy and harness mended, eral" be replaced,
vhil-thv w 1: water, :ik? the poet's brook,
joes on. forever.
Finally, as ti.e preachers tay when half
brough their sermons, let it 1 e remembers!
hatSumter can at least congratulate herself
when w;-h bs-r increased and increasing
?cp?lation the plagues boru of surface water
>eg;n tc nm-.-, wilder work, site possesses,
vi thin easy reach of her jeweled ?.?and, the
il-rr currency which will make rich with thc
veal th cf health her surviving 30ns and
laughters. '-Itero endeth thc first lesson."

All departments will, as heretofore, be
filled with the most competent teachers.
As the rooms are bein? rapidly engaged,
pupils from abroad would do well to apply as

An additional proof of the thoroughness of
the teaching cf this school is afforded by the
fact that two of the last graduating class from
different Counties applied for the Winthrop
Scholarship and were successful for the first
grade against ali competitors.
We think it proper to state that since the
