settlements all Right.

Register, Oct. 9Th
Comptroller General Norton re
turned to the city yesterday. he
has been for The past week Oh a
tour of settlement with 'i'reasurers
in the Western and Southeas EN-
counties. He visited Edgefeid,
Aiken, Barnwell, Beaufort, Hamp-
ion, Charleston, and Berkeley and
found everything correct and the
books we'll kept.
there was some trouble reported
by the grand jury of Edgefield in
reference to the taxes in that c,un-
ty for 1S93-94 which has never
been settled. Mr.. Norton said that
he had sent Auditor Wise of All
ken to Edgefeld. as an expert, to
investigate the matter and turn
on the light on all transactions.

ChatfeId VS.. Talbert.

P. B. Chatfeld of Aiken, manag-
er of the Highland Park Hotel, has
been nominated by the republi-
cans as a candidate for congress
against Talbert. "Jas" will not
mind Chatfeld more than the
bull does the fly on his horns. But
it will be the part of wisdom for
democrats to act in this matter as
though the fly were formidable
antagonist. So let us all rally
round the flag and give our pres
ent representative majority that
is his due.

From many intelligent and in
fuential Reform sources through
out the State it is suggested that
the old Edgefeld Reform war
horse, the Hon. w. H. Yeldell,
should be the next Speaker of the
House Of Representatives. This
is a spontaneous movement on the
part of the people, because we
know that Mr.. Yeldell has never
even thought of it. We saw him
a few days ago and our relation
ship as friends is such that we
feel certain if be bad known Of
any such disposition on the part
of his political friends in the
State or had any such aspirations,
he would have said something
about it. We have known Mr..
Yeldell many years and have been
closely associated with him fer a
long time, and we know and the
people know, Of what honest ma
terial he is made. No man, no
set Of men, no influence that is
not fair, that is not honest and
that N any degree would be
against the welfare of all the peo-
pie could be brought to, bear upon
w. III. Yeldell and cause him TO
swerve ore whit from an honest
and conscientious purpose to
serve the people wholly without
fear, favor, or affection.-Green-

Those most capable of judging
and who have given the political
situation the most thorough and
conscientious study maintain that
the next House of Representatives
will favor silver. Such being the
case, if Bryan be elected, there
w: be nothing in the way of a
restoration of the white metal to
it's birthright, the Senate being al
ready in favor of such legislation
and beyond possibility of change
by the present years election. But
it is also fact that the probabill-
ties that the next lower house Ct
congress will be democratic are
greater than that Bryan will be
elected president.

whole structure will have to be recreat-
ed. The current political economy is
founded on the axiom of individual
greed, but let new automatic emotion
spring up Gas of justice or fair play, in
stead of individual greedy. and the ba-
sis of the science will be altered and
will necessitate new construction. So
when people argue Con politics, NOR
atty, art, etc. it will generally be
found that they differ at the base $ they
go out perhaps quite unconsciously from
different axionls, and hence they cannot
agree. Occasionally, Of course, a. strict
examination will show that, while
agreeing at the base, one of them has
made false step in deduction. In that
case his thought does not represent his
primary feeling, and when this is point
ed out he is forced to alter it. -

CLEAR SPARKLING WATER
A Remarkable Discovery Recently Made
Near Ell Monte
J. s. kiilian Develops Three Hundred and
Fifty Miners Inches Near the San
Gabriel River

One of the most remarkable and un-
expected discoveries of water has re-
Gently been made in the San Gabriel
valley about two miles from El Monte.
j. S. Killian, the owner of some four
hundred acres of land, desired to raise
alfalfa over the greater portion of it
and this could only be done by irrigation.
A spot was selected about quarter of
a mile from the west bank of the San Ga
briel river, on a direct line between the
mouth of the San Gabriel canyon and
the point where the river passes through
the Puente hills. Here he sank twelve
inch well and at a depth of 105 feet struck
an immense body of water, much to the
astonishment Of his neighbors. The water
rose in the well to within forty feet'of the
surface.
Mr. Killian at once sank three other
wells in a line, whose depths vary from
125 to 165 feet. Two of these wells he
combined and. placing No.D5 rotary
pump twenty feet below the surface,
was gratified to find he could raise q
continual flow of $50 miners inches of
water.
No. rotary pumps were at once placed
in the other two wells and a continuous
flow of 100 miners inches of water OBJ
tained from each. The water which is
obtained from hitherto unknown un-
derflow of the river is brought to the
surface clear, cold and sparkling, and
runs down ditch, a full $50 miners in
ches.
Notwithstanding the immense volume
of water continually pumped out, the
water in the wells is never reduced and
remains continually at forty feet below
the surface, showing that the underfiow
is very large one.
People are visiting the spot from all
parts of the valley to investigate the
wells, and there is a probability that
other wells will be sunk on the line of the
underflow
The present pumps are run by a CO.
horsepower engine, for which oil is used
as fuel.
About two years ago Mr.. Killian sank
a well some distance below the present
place and obtained 60 inches of water.
This not being sufficient he became con-
vinced that water in much larger guam
tity could be obtained on the present spot
and, contrary to the advice of his neigh
bors, commenced to sink the wells. The
result has aStonished everyone and the
supply of water cannot be determined.
1t is learned that Mr.. Killian intends
sinking new wells and putting in 500
horsepower engine with the object of
supplying Los Angeles with water, how
ever as that may be, only the future will
show. One thing is now certain, a large
and apparently exhaustless supply of
water has been discovered in locality
heretofore dry as a bone.
