that Col. Breckenridge would want
nothing better than chance tC
hang the city up in the United
States courts for the next ten
years. What could Geo. Altgelt be
thinking about?
San Antonio is only passing
through the same experience OF
other cities that have granted
franchises to private corporations
to supply water to the people.
Dallas made it's fight and compell-
ed the water company to sell to
the city. The Dallas works not
only earns the interest and sink
ing of it's water bonds fund, but
a handsome profit to the city, and
the people are supplied with water
at cheaper rates than charged here.
A water works company never
gives up until it is forced to do so
by the people.
Detroit, a large city, bore the
burden of private ownership Of its
water supply until year or two
ago when the people elected an adj
ministration pledged to city owner
ship-the water company was rich
and powerful and refused to sell to
the city and attempted to buy up
all the supply of water in reach.
But the city went to work in ear
nest and the company was COM
PEELED to sell. The people of De-
troit have been relieved of the mo-
nOpOly.
Some people talk about the city
buying Col. Brackenridge's works.
The question arises has not Col. b.
done his best to put it out of our
power to buy by a placing two mil
lion mortgage on his works? 1t is
time our taxpayers were waking
up.
The building of sewers will in
sure the health of the city; this is
a measure that will benefit the |
whole city. In order that we
should continue to be prosperous,
that capitalists may come here to
invest, that large buildings may
be erected in the business center,
giving labor to our people,we must
build sewers, and this involves the
city ownership of the water supply.
Times are dull, money scarce,
and the undertaking of a great
public work will greatly relieve
the dull times, and give work to
the idle.

PLAIN POINTERS.
by A CLOSE OBSERVER. |

The proverb "penny-wise and
pOund-foolish," is very frequently
practiced in this age of keen COM
petition. This feature is more es-
pecially noticeable in awarding
contracts for public work to "the
lowest bidder" While economy is
one of the solemn duties of public
officers in dispensing public funds,
but "the lowest bidder" is very
seldom the cheapest in the long
run. To award public contracts
simply to "the lowest bidder"
without ascertaining his integrity,
capability and bona fide intentions
towards carrying out his promises,
is not only a custOm-made by
habit, but drives honest cOmpeti-
ton out of the race, and a waste of
public money is generally the re-
suit.

Think of the many innocent vic
Tins that the "lowest bidder" in
the architectural profession is re-
spOusible for. Think of the pro-
8 'essive (?) art of modern build
ings of the "hurry-up" type that
a,e nothing but death traps and a
constant menace to life and limb.
1t is true, we have high-salaried
building inspectors, engineers, etc.,
but cheese public safeguards are
kind enough to inform the police
of the unsafety of building only
after it has collapsed, killed and
MANNED scores of human unfor-
Inmates and swelled the list of
heartbroken widows and helpless
orphans. AT such catastrophes our
newspapers express generously
their sympathy, fill their columns
in describing the particulars of APP
palling sights, but next day the
scene is faded away from our too
busy minds, and more death traps
spring up "a la hurry-up" style.

to witness the trial of the affray between
POmp Brock and Wilkes Banks, which
occurred a week ago at a festival held at
the second Baptist church, colored
Brock began to improve some days
ago, and was we'll enough to be brought
to court this morning, but looked very
weak and badly.
Several witnesses testified that Brock
had a pistol; that Banks threw him
down, took the pistol from him, and that
afterwards Brock approached Banks and
asked to have a conversation with him,
whereupon Banks struck Brock over the
head with a stick, which he snatched
from the hand of by-stander.
An important witness for Brock being
absent, the case was continued until to
morrow.
Wiley Davis, an old white man who
looked decidedly down in the mouth"
was charged with being too full and dis
orderly, and as he seemed repentant and
assured the mayor he would not get
drunk in the city, or visit the place while
drunk again, he was permitted to depart,
after paying the costs, which amounted
to $500.

Confirmed at TarbOrO Last Sabbath-a
Great Occasion.
Dr. Joseph B. Cheshire for so long a
time rector of st. Peters Episcopal
church in Charlotte, was Sunday con-
firmed as assistant bishop of North Caro-

preached the sermon. Six bishops and
fifty clergymen, Governor Carr and other
distinguished visitors attended.
Bishop Cheshire's first official labors
will be in the parishes of the Tarboro

Great Many.
Salem Statesman.
ppm going to join the army and will
be gone three years" Thus wrote a
young man to his dear old mother and
sisters at home. The boy was under
sentence to the state prison when he
wrote the letter that he supposed would
quiet all inquiry as to his whereabouts.
He had been guilty of forgery, and the
judge in pron0uncing sentence upon
him gave him three years at hard labor.
This was several months ago, and the
young man is by this time well ac-
quainted with the mOnotonous routine
OF life in the Oregon state prison. On
Sunday afternoon couple of young
ladies, sisters. new arrivals in Salem,
visited the prison. They were too late
to be admitted to the services, but were
given seats in the waiting-room. At
the first sound from the choir they were
interested, but as the music of song
filled the chapel and resounded through
out the corridors, they recognized a
familiar sound in SWeet-tOned voice
that carried the air.
They advanced nearer to the chapel,
impelled by they knew not what, and.
glancing through the barred doors, rec
ogniZed among the singers, wearing the
stripes, the absent brother they believed
was serving his country in the army.
The recognition was mutual. And it
was pitifnl. The shock was more than
the delicate nerves of the young women
could bear. But it is only one accident
in many. The prison is full of sad
romanceS and expectations that are
never realized,

A LUCKY SHOT.
How Harvey Doxtater Killed {
Panther on the Fly.

How Harvey DoXtater Killed a
Panther on the Fly.
Albany Express.
A few days ago a large panther was
shot and killed near Canada lakes,
twenty miles north of this village. The
Canada lakes form the head waters of
the East Canada creek. 1t is favorite
resort in the summer for JohnstoWn,
Gloversville and Dolgeville people. The
banks of the lake are steep. and run up
in high mountain peaks covered with
timber. Frequently last summer the
cottagerS were surprised to hear the
screams of panther.
David HilterJine has lumber camp
near the lake, and few days ago some
of the men employed by him discovered
panther tracks in the snow, which were
apparently fresh. A party of six started
out to capture him. All had rifles or
Shotguns except one. and he carried an
ak. They followed the tracks until they
had gone about half way between the
Hiiterline mill and the Stewart mill
property, when the man with the Ak
turned about and began to run. About
ten feet ahead OF them was the panther,
facing the hunters and crOuched down
on its launches, with tail Wagging and
just in the act of making spring.
Quick as a fash Harvey DoXtater, who
was one OF the party. brought his gun to
his shoulder, and, while the panther
was in the air coming toward them. he
sent bullet through the skull of the
beast. and he dropped dead at their
feet. After the panther was dead the
other hunters distinguished themselves
by firing at him and filling him up with
lead. Not to be outdone, the man with
the ak came up timidly and gave him a
blow over the head sufficient to fell all
OK. But for the good shot made by
DoXtater the probabilities are that one
of the number would have been torn to
pieces before the beast could have been
killed.
The panther measured just six feet
from tail to nose. This is the first
panther that has been shot or-seen in
this vicinity for many years. The night
following the killing of the vicious
beast the scream of another panther
was heard. The sound came from the
mountain on the side of West lake.
