McGowan was killed at Fredericksburg and Maxy Gregg win promoted to his command. Of course we rneut that Gen. Gregg was killed and McGowan promoted. Theerroi escaped us in huri iedly reading proofs to get to press. Mr. Greer cilled our attention to the error, and we offer the above explanation for the oversight. The above was written for our last issue but was overlooked on account of our being called horns to tin t>edside of our sick little ones, whero we were detained several days. Do the I'cople Want Sewerage? We understand that some inople are signing the petition to call an election for the putting in of a sewerage syst< m and avowing their purpose, at the same time, of working for the defeat of the measure. This appears to us to bo wholly inconsistent, if you arc not in favor of the sewerage system at present, don't sign the petition for the election, i Where is the sense in assisting the town to go to the ex|>ense of calling an election when you l>elieve that the election will not caAy, and proi>ose to do all in your power to defeat the election? We do not believe that an election for a sewerage system can be c.irried at this ( time, and we believe it is-useless to call tlie election for the purpose. We do not believe the system would accomplish the end aimed at, unless vertnallv every property holder in the town should lie forced to connect with the sewerage, and when we begin counting the c<?sts ot pipes, closets and the necessary apparatus, the changing of and remodeling of residences, to arrange for these closets, and the cost of the connecting pipes, and the cost of tapping, we tind an enormous bill running up anywhere from $")U to $100 and even more. We can very readily see that \ cry few outside of those in alliuent circumstauc- s arc going to, or can afford to go lo litis extra expense to connect with ilia sewerage, to say nothing of the cost of putting water into the houses. Water ot 1 necessity goes with theseAerage whether j you need the water tor other purposes or not. What will be the result ? The wealthy element will connect with the sewerage, tints giving them every modern convenience to lie found in tin; cities, and llie small fry pay their pro-rata share of the expense of these conveniences of which they derive not the slightest benefit. lint does it.accomplish the end aimed at, viz. The removal of the stenches that nightly assail the pedestrian upon some of the streets of the town? These unsavory tmells aie not usually met with around tlie premises of the wealthy element, those who would be likely to immediately begin lho use of the sewerage, then would the use of the sewerage ny these people who always keep their premises clean tend to remove the cause of complaint. Xo, but. it would be a great convenience to them, that is all. Then how can the sewerage Vie effectual as a sanitary measure? simply by putting connecting pipes in all the houses. We have shown that, on account <>i' the cost of doing so, the masses of t!?? mii ill property owners are not going to do it. What next, then foico it upon them, and if they cannot or will not pay for it what will you do, there is nothing letL but to confiscate the property. We think this would likely raise a howl the like of which has never been heard in Union. We do not think the litn; is ri.m .... II... I. ...... aillllnlaul I 111/^, Wl IIIU tW ? II OUIIIOJUIIIIJ V/iUHUtU H'li to force a sewerage system. In fact we we can not see that it isat all necessary for the town to put one in for a number of years yet. We areaheady pretty heavily taxed and the sewerage can wait awhile. We believe that there ought to he a sewerage system for the factory and knitting null hills, but we see nothing wrong 1:1 those companies going ahead and putting in a system at their own expense, and derive the benefit from it themselves, its they, and not the town, need it. Again, it our wealthy citizens think it so absolutely necessary to have a sewerage system, so as to be strictly up-to-date and quite city like, let them form a slock company ayd put in the system, allowing everyone so inclined to take stock in the enterprise. This would test the depth and strength of the senlitiment in favor of the immediate need of a sewerage system for the city of Union. We believe the evils complained of are to he overcome and removed at far les sexpeneo than a sewerage and this is the remedy: Let the board of health carefully inspect all premises at least twice a month and see that they are kept clean and no tilth allowed to accumulate; see that lime tor disinfecting purposes is kept at tvery residence. We would also suggest that during an epidemic each family be required to bum sulphur occasionally in their residences, as a germ exterminator. We are conscieneious in these expressions of opinion, and we think that our past record as an advocate ot the upbuilding ot' and pushing to the front our little city, is suilieient to relieve us of any charge of wishing to hold the town back in any legitimate or necersary measure looking to its onward march oi prosjierity. Our town is blessed with the best natural drainage, possibly, of any town in the up-country and with the necessary precautionary measures, that should bs j observed in every town, whether it b is sewerage or not, wo think the ohj ;cti ? is can be removed and that there is 11 > apparent need for a sewerage system at present. As the above, is an expression of my individual .sentiments it is published not as an editorial, but a c antnuuic il'en from one of the small fry tax payers. ^ _ " Jxo. U. M.
