HE PALMETTO STEAM FIRE EAa1HR.-
This engine arrived at Columbia early
yesterday morning. and was Immediately
housed. and busy hands set to work 70
brighten her brasses and polieh her
steel. The machine. even in its un-
polished condition, presents eervicea-
BILE and handsome appearance. It is the
manufacture of VIM. Jeffers, of Paw
tuoket, r. l., who was also the builder
OF the hand engine of the Palmettoes,
which has been purchased by the City
Council. for the use Of the colored Gre.
men. Arrangements are being made to
test the power of the steamer during the
early part Of the coming week, of which
due notice will be given.
Now, that the Palmettoes and Inde-
pendents have each magnificent steam
fire engine, q confsgration will have
little opportunity to do much damage
provided, sufficient amount of water
can always be obtained. And while on
this subject, we would remark that fre-
quent complaints are heard from the fire-
men OF the meagre supply of water
obtained from the hydrants on the back
streets. This is matter that should
engage the attention OF the city au-
thorities.
The committee to solicit and collect
subscriptions for the purchase of the
steam engine have been busy for the
past few days, discharging their duties,
and have met with substantial encourage
ment. This is as it should be.
We learn, also. that the ladies are
making strenuous efforts to realize q
handsome sum in aid of the Palmettoes,
at the fair for that purpose. which is to
be held at Twins Hall, beginning next
Wednesday evening, the 2lst instant.
