and the appearance of the patients.
Mr.. Lawson, secretary of the trustees,
made statement to the members of

was conducted in an economical man
ner, in fact in one case there was too
much economy used, and that was in
the matter of fire escapes, az they are
not the kind to be of proper service
to old people and that they needed more
escapes. He thought that the indica
tions for this winter were worse than
ever and that the poor would suffer
greatly. Mr.. Culbert and Mr.. Tuman
explained the way Of giving outside
relief The jurymen seemed much
interested and thanked the trustees

Special Correspondence II Gazette and Journal
Ciaymont, Nov. 90. -Regarding the
scarcity of water in this locality citi-
zen says: "The first great damage was
done when the baltimore & Ohio rail
road cut WAS made and that damage has
been aggravated by the cutting doYn OF
the woods. Books on forestry tell uH
that woods hold the moisture and
that when they are cut down the sun
chime and hot air hardened the ground
and ultimately affect the springs and
wells." The railroad cut may be one OF
the causes of the scarcity of :water.
Many wells are dry and others are so
nearly dry that the people are compelled
to use water with the utmost economy.
j. Frank Clyde is having the we'll on
the Clemson place made deeper and
others, doubtless, will have to do like
wise. Wells that had from to 10 feet
of water now contain two feet and in
some instances less.
