ATLANTA'S ARTESIAN WELL.
Some Very Interesting Facts Con
corning IL.

some very interesting factS tot
corning IL.
The following facts about the artesIan
well at Atlanta can hardly fail to be of
interest in this city, in view of the prop
osition to sink enough artesian wells
here to supply the city with water:
1.-The Atlanta artesian well was drill
ed by j. w. Baum, of Atlanta, Ga. 1t
was started Sept. 10, 1891, and compile
ted March 30, 1886. The depth of the
we'll is :, 0i4 feet. Its diameter S inches.
Rock was struck at "a feet. All the bal
ance of the drilling was through very
hard granite formation, with one ex-
ception of % feet of marble at LOO
feet deep, and two thin beds of sand
rock, say and 10 feet each. Three
veins of water were struck In the gran
ite-onc at 80 feet deep, one at 90
feet deep and a very large vein at |, 100
feet deep, from which is now obtained
supply of water. The well is now rugged
up for permanent pumping, with wa
ter tower so feet high and an S,OOO-gal-
lon iron tank on top of the tower, which
places the water at the highest point in
the citv There will soon be completed
ten miles of main, with POO pubic by
grants in 200 different localities in the
city, furnishing abundance of good pure
crystal water.
The capacity of the well cannot be
estimated, as no pump can be got in the
well large enough to exhaust the water.
The capacity of the pump is 225, 600 gal
Ions per day, which can be placed in all
or any part of the city at the very low
price of 81 per day, total RAINING ex-
penses, or a cost of 81 for delivering
each go, 900 gallons, less than half the
expense IF delivering the same amount
of water by the ordinary waterworks.
The water is pure and cold, having a
temperature of 60 degrees. The water
has beer, analysed by Prof. White, State
chemist. who pronounced it chemically
pure and very healthful.
The water is distributed free to all,
to be used for any purpose required.
II Atlanta can hope to do Sc much
with her one artesian well, what can Pa
latka expect with her forty or fifty,
which flow bountiful supply of water
without the use of pumps, and which
were put down at comparatively little
expense: Just so soon as it is clearly
demonstrated to our citizens that the ar
tesiau water can be softened, just so
soon will the necessary expense be un-
dertaken to give Us the purest drinking
water IN the country.

NEW YORK AID PALATKA.
A Good Prospect for a Direct Line
from Here to New York.

from Here to New York
In an interview with a prominent
railroad man yesterday a NEWS reporter
Learned some very gratifying news In re-
gard TO direct ocean steamship line be-
tween our port and the port of New
York. He stated that the Clydes had
inst completed and had three light draft
ships ready for service, and while no
authoritative announcement has been
made as to where they would be run
there was good reason to believe that
they would be run on the line between
New York and Pa.atka.
Capt. Pennington, who superintendent
the building of the steamers, was here
few months ago looking after his or
ange grove, located at Interlachen, and
he said, in speaking Of the proposed
line, that Palatka need not worry, as she
would soon be supplied with all the
steamers she wanted, from which hint il
is supposed that these boats will be put
on the line this winter.
With a direct steamship line to New
York, and the Charleston and New
York steamship line, as well as the en-
ceptionally good railway connection
with the North and West, the outlook
for cheap freigl.ts for Palatka and Flor
ida is very good indeed. With the best
water and railway connection with the
interior of the State possessed by any
city in the State, Palatka's growth as
wholesale market is assured, and all we
need to be the principal distributing
men To grasp the situation and prove
themselves equal to their opportunities.
That they will do so we have no doubt.

stated that Edwin Glenn, of Viva

For treasurer we have heard of no

For district attorney, the present in

that Ed. M. Lowry, Esq, is also can

Why Re.elect Them I,

EDITOR HERALD. May ] be permitted
to inquire through the columns of the
HERALD what the present officials of
this county have done that should en-
title them to u third or fourth term in
their respective positions?
The Republican party early declared
that those who went to the war and re-
turned should be entitled to the honors,
emoluments and the official positions at
the control of this County OF Grant, and
| believe that, qualifications being equal,
the Republican party has lived up to its
promises.
But those occupying these positions
are not the only men deserving of recog-
milton. This old county has within her
borders many other competent men as
fully able to carry on the business of the
county as those now holding these offices.
! state nothing new when | say that
there are yet living many old veterans,
able to fulfill any office in the county,
who are in their old age Flooding along
through life crippled, poor and needy,
and to whom a two-term occupancy of
any one of the offices would be God
send
Those who now have SO well fulfilled
the duties of the various offices have
certainly no further claim to them, and
our party cannot afford to keep in office
favored few to the exclusion of the
many.
To the soldiers belong the offices, and
the crippled soldier comes first, in my
opinion.

Our Chiidren's Manners.

In training children in good man.
ners. mothers often mistake an overflow
of spirits-a natural playfulness OF
healthy childhood rudeness, and
in subduing and correcting these SEEM
ing faults, rob the little ones of whole
some exercise and large share of the
sunshine of their lives. There is time
for playing. and even noisy outdoor
sports, that develop the young muscles
and strengthen the fast growing bodies,
and children should not be deprived of
this privilege of their childhood. The
essential things to be taught them in
play is TO respect each others rights, to
protect the weak. and TO be fair even in
their sports. Moral courage should be
cultivated in children BY teaching them
always to say boldly and do bravely
what they believe is true and right, re-
gardless of consequences. There is
something knightly in the heart of
every something helpful and wom-
anly in the heart of every girl" and
these qualities should be developed.
The sympathies of children are quickly
aroused, and can be rightly directed to
their great benefit.
Pets arc great source of pleasure to
children, and the possession of them
awakes and increases the chlvalrous
spirit which enlarges the heart and en-
mobiles the character. The care OF Il
dog, lamb or goat trains boy in all
that is manly; while the pet kitten or
bird gives a little girl sense OF re-
sponsibility and teaches her kindness
to the helpless. Mrs Eliza r. Parker,
in Good HOuSekeeping.

Ryiand's Republicanism.

Some of the friends OF Hon. Ed.
Minor, candidate for the nomination for
Lieutenant-Governor on the Republican
ticket. are attempting to make political
capital by circulating the fabrication
that Hon. e. w. Ryland is not true
Republican. OF course, this story is
circulated in distant parts of the state
and not where the people are person
ally acquainted with Mr.. Ryland. And
it is noticeable that the Democratic
papers are actively circulating the
falsehood, knowing that Mr.. Rylauds
name would greatly strengthen the
ticket, and desiring to see some weaker
man upon it.
Geo. w. Ryland was a Republican
almost before E. S. Minor was born,
and has been so ever 81. .ce. He was
Republican when it was not at all the
popular thing it has been for the last
twenty years-when the arrogant ma
jority put the stigma sBlack" before
the term Republican. Lying sick, he
was carried to the court house to vote
for John G. Fremont for President in
1856, and in all the thirty years since
has scratched but one name one time
on the Republican ticket, though often
his personal friends on the opposite
ticket were running against men he had
no reason to like. What other Repub-
lican can show so long and so clear n
party record?
Mr.. Ryland's liberality in contrib
uting for the success of his party is well
known. Probably no man in the state
has gone deeper into his pockets when
ever there was a call for funds to defray
the legitimate expenses of Republican
campaigns. During one presidential
election a company of "Wide-Awakes"
were uniformed, equipped and furnished
almost entirely at his expense. And
his personal labors have been ms freely
expended as his money to insure the
success of the Republican ticket, both
state and national.
The idea of veteran of more than
thirty years hard service in the Repub-
lican ranks charged with lack of fealty
to thatparty by raw recruits aud Bour-
bon Democrats is ridiculous.
The retailing of this misrepresenta-
ton will harm rather than help those
who do it. Instead of injuring Mr.
Ryland, it will be boomerang which
will rap the heads of those who throw it.
