WATER AND TIE WATER POWER CON-
P...NY.
The question concerning pure water
is about settled. Since the stoppage
of the extravagant waste of water by
the city hydrants, there has been no
lack Of spring water; and, if the citi-
zens continue to economizc in the use
of water, there is no doubt that this
vexed question is forever settled. 1t
would certainly demonstrate itself to
any one visiting the works, that it is
Of no advantage to the company to
throw river water, as extra machln-
cry and pumps have to be brought
into play to do so. Tho distributing
reservoir Of the city is divided into
sections, one Of which is supplied with
the spring water constantly used by
the city; the other section is filled
from the river, TO meet any cmcr-
gcncy by fire or otherwise.
An increased interest in the dcvel-
opment Of the water power has lately
been manifested, and prospective cot
ton mills are the dreams of many of
the substantial citizens Of this city.
The Coiumbia Water Power Company
propose to increase their capital stock
one hundred per cent for the purpose
of developing the immense water
power that may be obtained from the
Congaree river. This stock is to be
offered TO the citizens Of this city, and
Of the State at>large at ore hundred
dollars per share. The payments or
assessments on this stock appear to
be unusually easy, fifteen per cent.
only being required to be paid down,
in monthly installments
Of ten per cent The proposition of
the company to turn in all their prop
erty and franchises, and that the citi-
zens raise by subscription an amount
equal to the value Of said property
and franchises, received in mass meet
ing, last Wednesday, the endorsement
of the citizens Of the city, and the
prospects Of success are most fiatter
ing. More than forty thousand dol
lars have been subscribed within the
last four days. The people appear to
be getting alive to the, importance Of
manufacturing cotton in the South,
and an opportunity will be offered to
the people Of the State generally to
subscribe to the stock Of this COM
pany, and; thereby help put a ball
in motion, the results of which can
not be otherwise than beneficial to
them. It is q shame that Of the total
number, 2,974,35l bales of: cotton
raised last year, Of which 1924
were raised in South Carolina, only
10000 bales were manufactured in
the whole South. 1t is high time
that steps were taken to remedy this
evil.
