WATER WORKS!? 1
I The Meeting end whit was don.
The citizens were not slow ? accept
the invitation extended tl^m i>j
the il/uyor and Council last w&k tt
meet in the court house and disctit*
the question of Water Works. Bj
half past seven, the appointed time
quite a number of representative^ business
tuen of the town had assembled
in the court house, and were busilj
conversing one with another about
the subject before them. It ^couhi
be seen at once that there was great
unanimity among them, and that they
all wanted water works.
Thus they talked until half past
seven was fully come, when on motion
of Capt. F. 31. Farr, Mr. J. A. Fant
was elected Chairman of the meeting
and Mr. B. F. Arthur Secretary.
Mr. Fant then stated that the object
of the meeting was to get the senti ment
and opinion of tlie citizens in
in regard to public water works for
the town. Someone asked what it
would cost. The chairman did not
know, exactly, and therefore said
that he did not know. Several members
of the convention replied ftimosi.
hi once mat it would cost iti the neighborhood
of $-0,000. Mr. Duncan
explained that the cost would depend
in a great measure on where the water
supply was gotten from. lie
said that with the available water supply.
mentioning Buffalo Creek, the
system would not cost over $25,000.
at the very outside. ,
Someone wanted to'know what dirferer.ee
the water works would^uakJ
m the rates of insurance, Tlra< information
could not be^given". Capt.
Farr .and Mr. E. Nicholson both being
well acquainted with .tire insure
ance said that the rato of insurance
would dopend on the position f the
hydrants and the pressure, r? iters
which could not be determined at
Una stage. *
Mr. Duncan addressed thtfc'iiur
and said that jjf thrown wanted water
works the proper tiling to dotfwbuld'
be to get the Legislature to B?ps ail
act authorizing the town
iu a Sum aavn .-*cfki td cbWtnict
'(ne water works, got the money for
the bonds and go to work. That
wc would have to have water works
sooner or later. That the town was
growing, had about three thousand
population now, and in the course of.
two or three years would, doubtless,
nave not less than six or seven thousand.
lie said that aside from the
j reduction in insurance the wa.jr work ;
j would bring in considerable revenue
j .rorn service to citizens and corporations,
and would in sill probability
about pay for itself in the eourst of
en years. lie ssiid thai a committee
dieulubc appointed to make the proper
arrangements for the pairing of
j it1 act by the Legid?iur\ author!;? i
lr.g .he town to bond itself for the
| water works.
Juubve taking his sea. ue mow .1
Thai the. town establish Wir'to* Woej. s
at the expense of the town, plaeinj
ihe limit of cost at ?:M,U00. I'his
out ion being seconded wa> una i
uou- 'y earned, (hi mo ion I'm
chairman appointed Moss. V. C. Duncan,
K. -Nicholson, and Win. Munr?,
a committee to make investigations
as to the cost of water works andul>o
to procure the passage of n act
authorizing the bonding of the town.
By another motion Mr. J. .V. Fant
was added to the committer, sxo'Ji
cio as M ay or of the Town.
On motion the meeting adjourneu*
For harmony and business this
was one of the best meetings wo have
ever seen, "'here w as plenty of enthusiasm,
but it was manifested in a
sober businesslike way. From the
character, however, of the men com
posing the assembly nothing Oi-c
oould have been exj ectcd. With
. such men and such businesslike do
I termination behind 11; enterprise ? <
may confidently expect water work.Ji.?

; with the exposition, I put in two
[ days iu the exposition and three in
, the city. Atlanta is certainly a
hustling thriving, city. The Equitbuilding
itself is equal to a email
' town. It is a lire prof building
eight stories high has eight hundred
rooms with five elevators that are
kept busy all the time carrying peo-'
pie up aud down that have business
in the building. There are four
thousand people that work in this
building. The Union Depot is an
other lively place. Forty live trains
arrive and the same number depart
every twenty four honrs and they
are all packed with people coming
and going and everything works like
clock work. Board and lunch is
cheap. Boarding houses are only
charging one dollar and twenty five
per day. Ten dollars will carry one
person there and give them two days
in the exposition and one day in the
city and return. Everybody ought
to go.
Several of our people atttended
the State Fair and they report it a
good exhibition. Others will attend
gala week in Charleston in December.
Ail tins goes to show that our people
have money and are enjoying a good
social time.
