ATLANTA's ARTEsIAN WELL,
Some Very Interesting Facts Con-
corning 1t.

Some Very Interesting Facts Con-
corning 1t.
The following facts about the artesan
well at Atlanta can hardly fail to be of
interest in this city in view of the propo-
sition to sink enough artesian wells here
to supply the city with water:
The Atlanta artesian well was drilled
by J. w. Baum. of Atlanta, Ga. 1t was
started Sept. 10, 1884, and completed
March 80, 1886. The depth of the well IS
2,044 feet. Its diameter inches. Rock
was struck at % feet. All the balance OF
granite formation, with one ex-
ception OF s26 feet of mar
bic at LOO feet deep, and two
thin beds of sand rock, say s and 10 feet
each. Three veins of water were struck
in the granite-one at $50 feet deep, one
at 225 feet deep, and very large vein at
l.160 feet deep, from which is now OBJ
tanned a supply of water. The well is
now rugged up for permanent pumping,
with a water tower 80 feet high and an
S.000-gallOn iron tank on ton of the tower,
which places the water at the highest
point in the city. There will soon be
completed ten miles of main, with 20D
public bydrants in 200 different localities
in the city, furnishing abundance Of good
pure crystal water.
The capacity Of the we'll cannot be esti-
mated, as no pump can be got in the well
large enough to exhaust the water. The
capacity of the pump is 225, 000 gallons
per day, which can be placed in all or
any part of the city at the very low price
of 81 per day, total running expenses, or
a cost OF 81 for delivering each 225,000
gallons, less than half the expense OF de-
liverng the same amount of water by the
ordinary water works. The water is very
pure and cold, having temperature Of
69% deg. The water has been anaIyzed
by Prot. White, Stale Chemist, who pro.
nounced it chemically pure and very
healthiul.
The water is distributed free to all, to
be used tor any purpose required.

The Union of the Liquor Dealers ana

Both Organizations Hinged with
RepubIfcsnism-The denomination OF
the Ola Ticket Assured.
The past week has been a lively one
among the local politicians. The mass
meeting to nominate Representatives to
the State Legislature will meet tonight
and will without doubt settle dfhcult
problem in the politics OF the county.
1t Will determine who are the candi-
dates tor legislative honors. There have
been many names talked Of. They nave
not been legion, but there have been
enough TO keep the nomination from run
ming after the candidate.
The union of the liquor dealers and
Knights of Labor has at last agreed
upon ticket composed Of l.. p. Ashby,
Phillip NJ. Russell, Sr., and John w. VIII
son. The committee which has been
working so industriously to furnish the
Democratic party with candidates APP
pears to have quite a Republican tinge to
it, 1t is remarkable what an interest
iRepu blicaus take in affairs that do not
in anyway concern them.
A large majority OF the Democratic
party has expressed its approval OF the
old ticket, and it Will without a doubt be
nominated. The names Of Capt. w. W.
Gordon. Col. Peter Reilly and Gazaway
Hartrdge, ESQ.,, the gentlemen who ably
Teprese uted TINS county in the last Legis-
1ature, will be presented to the meeting
for denomination, and they will be in
dorsed by many OF the liquor dealers and
the Labor party. If nominated the ticket
will receive the hearty support OF all
regular Democrats.
Mr.. Wilson was put on the knights oil

day in place Of George A. Hudson, who
declined to be candidate. The liquor
Interest has been hard at work for the
past day or two, and will 90 into the
meeting with a crowd at its back. The
knights are gong prepared to "scOop" In
the nominations If they can.
A prominent Knight said yesterday
that while, OF course, he was in sympathy
with the order he did not like the stand it
has taken in regard to politics, He is in
favOr, since there seems to be no coming
together of the Democracy and the
knights, of indorslng the regular Demo-
cratic ticket.

Dealers Association looks upon the mat

old ticket. 1t is pretty well understood,
however, that a majority OF the liquor
dealers will stand by the Knights for po-
litical reasons, although they have no OBJ
lection to either OF the men on the old
ticket. The situation is otherwise about
1.-The same as it has been for some time.
The arrangements for the meeting are
complete. The chairman and speakers
platform was erected yesterday at the
northwes corner of the court house, fac

meeting will be called at O'Clock. DR..

News reporter the other day, "seems to
be continually on the increase. Most of
the people about a theatre, as a rule, are
good-natured and atfable, those being two
OF the most prominent reasons for their
being selected to fill the positions they
occupy, and there are no end OF people
who try to impose on them in consequence.

merely as free entertainment for them,
and when an enterprise fails they " Onder

continued the theatre man, "why 1t is tina:
one who Is brought into contact with
theatre, or does work for it, gets the Idea
into his head that he is entitled to seats in
the house, although he is being paid for
too, how public officials run away with
the idea that their position entities them
to tree admission within the doors of a
theatre.
''Just see what a vast number that

job, and every year there's different

There are the professionals, who are
always entitled, by an unwrItten law, to

in Savannah, though. But there is the
bill poster and his men, and the furniture

tribute something toward the work, and
the baggage men who handle the com
pany's baggage, and the hotel people, and
